Chapter 1527 Two kinds of looms
The embroiderer who followed behind nodded quickly, sat down, looked at the loom, and after a while, blushed a little: "Ma'am, the servant doesn't know how to use it..."
This loom was specially ordered by Ye Muyu to be made by a craftsman. Today, ordinary people in Dachu still use Jenny looms similar to those abroad in the 18th century.
The loom improved by Ye Muyu is a mule spinning machine that appeared a hundred years later. It combines the strengths of the Jenny loom and the fine imitation loom, and can spin 48 strands of spun yarn at the same time.
With the addition of a suitable pedal shuttle, one embroiderer could weave half a piece of cloth a day, but with the new loom, it can already be raised to five or six pieces.
Ye Muyu walked over and taught the embroiderer how to use it. After giving instructions for a while, the embroiderer quickly learned it and began to weave by hand.
I just tried it, and within a quarter of an hour, I have already woven an inch of cloth.
Chun Xing saw it clearly and was a little surprised: "Ma'am, isn't this too fast?"
Xiu Niang was even more excited: "Madam, can I use this loom to work in the future?"
Sumei was calculating at the side, pondered for a while, and had already calculated the speed, her eyes were slightly bright, and she looked at Ye Muyu with admiration: "Madam, at this speed, an embroiderer can embroider six pieces of cloth a day." , if it is replaced with linen or cotton cloth, the speed will only be faster."
Ordinary people can't afford silk and satin, but there is a lot of demand for cotton and linen. Sumei has been helping to collect cotton these days. It can be seen that the wife is going to make cotton and linen, and silk is secondary.
When she said this, she meant to obey Madam's wishes.
Ye Muyu was really in a good mood, and with a big wave of his hand, "Go, I still haven't finished reading the loom, so you can gradually get familiar with the loom, Miss Embroidery."
"Thank you, Ma'am." The embroiderer danced happily. With a more advanced loom, the labor cost will be reduced. She can weave more easily and receive real benefits. Naturally, she is grateful and addicted to the new weaving The machine cannot extricate itself.
Let’s go to the workshop next door together.
The whole workshop is very large, but there are only two looms inside.
And there is a pool under the loom, which is connected to the moat in the capital.
"This is it?" Chun Xing looked around the loom curiously.
Ye Muyu explained with a smile: "This is a hydraulic loom, no manual labor is required, and water power can drive the loom."
"This, so powerful?" Chun Xing opened her mouth slightly in surprise, looked at her wife, and admired her beyond belief. If the previous reform of the loom would bring about major changes to the entire cloth industry, then the hydraulic weaving The cloth machine is just a gold ingot. You don't need to think about it. You can know how much profit it will bring just by listening to the name.
"The hydraulic loom is very large, so ordinary people can't use it at all. They can only be built by the river or by the river. After all, hydraulic power is needed. Such a hydraulic loom can produce hundreds of cotton cloths in a day. , In terms of output, it completely crushes labor."
As Ye Muyu spoke, she already had an idea in her mind.
The ones who followed this time were all her confidants.
Even the workshop is guarded by guards arranged by Lu Chuan, and the concierge also has some skills.
And the embroidered lady was not called in, only the embroidered lady just now was selected by Ye Muyu and decided to start training.
"Starting today, our workshop will start weaving cotton cloth."
Ye Muyu started to take Sumei to work together, looking for the embroiderer, and signing the contract, and any embroiderer who leaked the secrets of the Chu family workshop.
