265. Chapter two hundred and sixty-four(2/2)

Jarvis smiled and said: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools, and then he will get twice the result with half the effort. A gravedigger dug up an ancient tomb from the Han Dynasty, and there was a painted handloom on the wall of the tomb, which is still used by the people of our country today.

There are weavers working. The production of cloth is very slow, and it can only be made into a piece after menstruation. Today's weavers mostly use pedal looms, which can make a piece quickly in a few days. This shows the weight of the equipment. However, there are faster ones. Western England

Carteret, a state-owned craftsman, made a water-powered loom that was more than forty times faster than a pedal loom."

King Wu's eyes widened and he immediately asked, "Sir, can you do that?"

Jarvis said: "The pardoner has sent people to the West to look for it. Now there is another thing, which is also related to textiles." He took out a drawing from his arms, "This thing was originally a Western spinning Jenny."

, Duke Shen ordered skilled craftsmen to improve it. Since the craftsman's surname was Zeng, he named it Zeng's spinning machine." He smiled bitterly and said, "Gong Shen intended to sell this picture to the prince, and he specially ordered me to discuss business."

King Wu took the drawing and looked at it for a long time without understanding it, and then handed it to Mr. Wei. When Mr. Wei saw it, he praised him: "Where did you get it from?" Then he said to King Wu, "This thing is not trivial. Your Majesty, this business is done."

, and it’s a very good deal.” He then smiled and said, “Let’s buy it quickly, otherwise Mr. Pardon will definitely sell it to someone else.”

Jarvis chuckled and said: "Since Wu State is originally a textile center, it is natural for Wu State to be the first. There are looms behind our master that we want to sell."

King Wu laughed and said: "This Jia She used to look ridiculous. After staying in the south for a year or two, he became more and more idle and started to make crafts."

Jarvis said: "There are all juniors in the south. No one dares to compete with him in martial arts. Even if he forces us to fight him, we don't dare to fight him. He is such a boring old man." Others couldn't help but laugh.

King Wu said: "This is an important matter, let us discuss it for two days."

Jarvis said: "That's natural."

He then went back to the guest room. The King of Wu, Mr. Wei, Chen Ruiwen and others immediately started discussing and decided not to put out the wax at night.

It happened to be September 30th, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, starless and moonless. Jia Cong and Qi didn't sleep at all, and Lin Hai fell asleep so early that he "didn't realize he was a guest in his dream." The night was quiet and silent, except for the lake and autumn.

The sound of insects caught my ear. Suddenly I heard a commotion outside. I got up and hurriedly climbed up the wall to look around quietly. I saw fireworks billowing in the east, and I frowned slightly. If they were trying to attack the west, they had not chosen the right place. That was the birth gate at the moment.
