Chapter 735
At the end of November, Qin Cao successfully gave birth to a son. This made Yang family very happy. Now there are finally three eldest grandsons and one eldest granddaughter in the family. Some people have signs of growing up. Of course, in Yang's opinion, this is far from enough.
The family was just liked it, and Yang Yi remembered the newly issued policy of encouraging births by the court, and suddenly said: "Sanlang is our fourth child. I will apply for support from the court tomorrow. It is twenty buckets of rice per month and one piece of cloth per year. Our Sanlang has caught up with the good time."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by Yang, because: Qin Cao worked hard to give birth to a son, and you would be sorry for Qin Cao to say such words.
When you think about it carefully, it seems that this kind of misunderstanding is indeed easy for people to have such misunderstandings, mistakenly thinking that he does not want to raise this son. Even Qing Niang joined the condemnation of him. For a moment, the Yang family had no other place to stand.
Well, Master Yang felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he had to stand up and be trained honestly, accept ideological transformation, and completely discard this vulgar idea of poaching the society's underestimation.
The newborn Yang Sanlang also avoided the tragic fate of being included in the lower households.
Yang Daguanren came to Qin Cao's bed and was about to confess his guilt and commit suicide again, but Qin Cao's happy smile made him unable to say a joke.
"Qin'er, I'm sorry."
Qin Cao raised his hand and pressed his five fingers gently on his lips. The smile on his face was as elegant as orchid. Although his face was a little pale, the sense of happiness seemed to be about to overflow from her eyes.
Yang Yi held her hand, gently stroked the slender jade finger and said, "Qin'er. You are well-read and have a quick mind. To express your apology for being a husband, you will let you give up your name."
"Narration is my father's business. I am a wife, how can I ask the slave to name it?" Qin Cao was a little moved, but he still insisted on his duty.
"Yes, naming is the power to be a father. Now, I will grant this power to you. Let me think about it, and then I will still name it on the surface."
Naming your own children is something that every parent hopes for. Many people think of many names before the child is born. In their minds, Qin Cao probably is the same. After hearing Yang Yi's words, she couldn't help but say, "Yang Lang, which word do you think is better among the two words 'Mo' and 'Xuan'?"
This was obviously something she had thought about, and she blurted out at this time. Qin Cao was immediately embarrassed, as if she had stolen Yang Yi's naming rights, because she had thought about it before she got Yang Yi's authorization.
"Yang Mo, Yang Xuan" Yang Yi put his head on his back and thought for a while and said, "For my husband, I think the word "Xuan" is better. Xuan means majestic. At the same time, it means noble and gentle. In Buddhism, Xuan means pure and untainted, with a unique spiritual light, completely free from the roots and dust, revealing the true nature, and not restricting the words. What does Qin'er say?"
"Well, I think the word Xuan is better!" Qin Cao couldn't stop smiling this time. In fact, she originally wanted the word Xuan, but she was worried that Yang Yi would not like it, so she added a word ink for him to choose.
"Okay, since Qin'er thinks so, then use the word Xuan. I am ashamed of my husband. Look at the name I gave Erlang, it sounds far worse than Qin'er's name. Qin'er's talent is not as good as a husband!"
"Yang Lang, don't say that, I can't afford it."
Yang Yi was waiting to comfort her, and Li Lian'er's voice came from outside the door. Didn't this girl say she would be married at the end of the year?
Li Lian'er walked in with the maid who led the way. She was combed in a shocked bun, a fox fur jacket, and a pleated skirt. She was also graceful. When she saw Yang Yi, she immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations to the fourth brother, congratulations to the fourth brother, and my nephew, let me hug you."
Yang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "The time for getting out of the house is almost here, and he is still running around, isn't it like a word?"
Li Lian'er's pretty face suddenly turned red like a piece of red cloth, but after a moment of savoring, she felt that Yang Yi's words were all the brother's tone, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Fourth brother, I'm happy to hear that I've had another nephew!"
Yang Yi said that, and he didn't bother to care where she ran. He left Li Lian'er to talk to Qin Cao and came out of the house by himself.
Li Lian'er's future husband is Cao Yi, the fifth-generation grandson of Cao Bin. In addition to Cao Bin's posthumous title of royal title for his military achievements, the Cao family also produced an empress, namely Empress Ci Shengguangxian.
Although the Cao family is very prominent, the children in the family have always been very responsible. Like Empress Ci Shengguangxian's younger brother Cao Qi and others, they were famous during their lifetime and were praised by the government and the government.
Cao Yi is Cao Qi's grandson, and Li Lian'er is a match between him and Li Lian'er.
Li Lian'er's father Li Leran has been re-employed by the imperial court. Now Shicheng County in the east of Youzhou is the magistrate. Li Leran was originally one of the victims of the new and old party struggles. After the imperial court recovered Yanyun and the Western Regions, it urgently needed a large number of officials to go to govern. During this period, many officials like Li Leran were activated.
In fact, Yang Yi has never seen Li Leran so far, and he doesn't want to see him. This time Li Lian'er has gone out of the house. I don't know if Li Leran will enter Beijing, but Yang Yi will never join in the fun.
When Yang Yi walked to the study, he saw Qingniang coming happily. He pulled his sleeve over and said, "Brother Yang, go and have a look. Sister Qing'er's hydraulic spinning wheel has been developed. Go and have a look."
Qing Niang was probably trotting, her face flushed, and her graceful and elegant posture became more and more moving. Yang Yi put his slim waist on his smile and said, "Qing Niang, if you don't go to the snow to search for the poem, why are you joining in the fun with your sister Qing'er?"
"There is no snow now, so let's talk about it. I can't find it if I want to find it. I'm too lazy to go out these two days, so I can watch Sister Qing'er develop a spinning wheel. " Qingniang raised her pretty face, with a bright look on her face in March.
"Funny? Okay, let's go and see your sister Qing'er's masterpiece. Qingniang, if you like it, I'll ask your sister Qing'er to give you the naming right. It won't be called Su Qingniang's spinning wheel. Is it good to call us Qingniang's spinning wheel?"
"I don't want it. This was developed by Sister Qing'er after working hard for a long time. Naturally, it was based on Sister Qing'er's name."
Yang Yi and Qingniang talked and laughed. They came to the front yard.
There was live water in the front yard of the Yang family. When he bought the house, Yang Yi asked someone to build a water truck in the front yard. Now the power of Shisanniang's hydraulic spinning wheel comes from this water truck.
When the two arrived, the front yard was already surrounded by people, including the maids and servants at home, as well as several skilled craftsmen from the Yang family’s newly created "Yang Academy of Sciences" in the farm. Su Qing developed the water wheel so quickly this time, and the assistance of these skilled craftsmen was indispensable.
With Yang Yi's arrival, Thirteen-Lady dressed in men's clothes immediately showed a gentle smile. Yang Yi stepped forward and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, have you done it?"
"Person, take a look!"
"Yeah, I'll take a look."
Yang Yi said as he walked to the large spinning wheel. The hydraulic spinning wheel was more than two feet long and about five feet wide. He first built the ground and the four corner columns of the wooden frame were five feet high. He passed through the horizontal bars in the middle and put on the top of the beams. The beams and wood were crossed at both ends. They were lying on the mountain passes, long columns, and iron shafts.
Next to the front ground, a long wooden seat is erected, and a mortar is arranged on the seat to carry the iron basket at the bottom. A wooden cart is made into a barrel, one foot and two inches long, and one foot and two inches long. There are thirty-two pieces. They are wrapped in yarn. The cart is surrounded by iron rings on the head of a rod to restrain the axle of the cart.
A small iron fork is placed in the front row of the ridge, and the spinning strips are placed on the upper side. Then, the wheels are mounted on the left and right, connecting the strings, and then turning the drums are turned on and on the train.
The entire large spinning wheel is driven by a water wheel and the rotation force is transmitted to the left guide wheel frame. The rotation of the left guide wheel is connected to the right guide wheel through the leather string, and the left and right guide wheels form a circular motion repeating.
The lower skin string directly claws on the spindle rod. The spindle rod is driven by friction, thereby driving the spindle rotation. The epithelium string drives the rotating drum on the iron shaft of the yarn frame through friction, and then rotates the yarn frame.
The rotation of the yarn frame depends on the action of a pair of devices intersecting wooden wheels, rotating drums, and rope strings. Therefore, the rotation direction of the wooden wheel on the iron shaft of the yarn frame and the wooden wheel pressing against the bearings under the upper chord is opposite.
Moreover, if this hydraulic spinning wheel removes the water wheel that provides the original motion, it can still spin yarn by human or animal power.
In this way, there is no need to work in places with hydraulic power, which greatly facilitates building factories in places with lack of water sources in the north.
This spinning wheel is complicated, and the actual object Yang Yi saw is actually quite simple. The biggest difference is its spindle. Now the small spinning wheel used in the Song Dynasty only has one flower, which means that it can only spin one yarn at a time. The spinning wheel brought back from Hainan Island only has three spindles.
There are as many as thirty-two spinning wheel spinning wheels, which means that it can spin thirty-two threads at a time. Its spinning is not vertical like the spinning machines in later generations, but horizontal, distributed evenly on a long axis;
If the power provided by the water truck is strong enough, the shaft can be lengthened a little longer, and then it can accommodate more than thirty-two spindles, which can be increased exponentially.
As far as Yang Yi knows, the so-called Jenny spinning wheel was originally able to spin eight threads at a time, and it has been regarded as a symbol of the first industrial revolution.
So can the hydraulic spinning wheel developed by Su Qing, which can spin thirty-two yarns at a time, become a symbol of the first industrial revolution of the Song Dynasty?
Yang Yi believes that the Western Indian Ocean Trade Trade Company is still under its own control and this goal will definitely be achieved.
After Yang Yi finished reading it, he asked Shisanniang: "Madam, have you roughly calculated it? How much yarn can you spin a hydraulic spinning wheel in a day?"
Thirteen Niang said happily: "We have to wait a little longer, wait until I calculate it."
"How to calculate?"
"The official has come to calculate it. Now it can spin four and a half pounds in half an hour. The official has calculated how much it can spin in a day, hehe."
"About 100 kilograms." Yang Yi's mathematics is OK.
"A normal spinning wheel can usually spin about three kilograms a day. The efficiency of 100 kilograms a day is satisfactory?" Thirteen Niang felt quite a bit of seeking credit.
Well, the Yang family is very poor, and Thirteen Niang has no money to buy a bead hairpin, and they are still counting on this improvement to make some private money.
But Yang Yi said, "Of course I'm not satisfied. I hope that one day, my wife can improve it into one hundred ingots, or even more."
