Chapter 22 Linen
Shi Xin looked at the busy Yi Duan and was slightly stunned. They had been in this village for ten days.
Yi Duan used a jade coin to get a lot of hemp rods from the villagers, and then recruited some villagers to start studying the so-called "snail cloth".
What is sackcloth? Shi Xin didn't know, but she vaguely felt that sackcloth was definitely a good thing. But there was no delicious food these days, which made her quite regretful and dissatisfied. Fortunately, Yi Duan was considerate and prepared a delicious meal for her every now and then.
Yi Duan was very excited. Although he only knew about the production process of linen, it did not prevent him from slowly researching it.
Daxia hemp is everywhere, and some of them have been fermented, so one process is missing.
He asked someone to tear off the squid and used the spinning wheel he made to spin the squid with squid.
A spinning wheel is a good thing and is very convenient to operate. However, people from Daxia have never been exposed to it and it takes several days to train. During the training, he recruited many craftsmen and imitated many spinning wheels.
He built a huge area, with hundreds of spinning wheels placed here, and two or three hundred women were spinning hemp naked.
These women are prone to banned from the rules and regulations, and have clear division of labor, such as spinning, delivering materials, and receiving materials.
It is naturally impossible to get satisfactory twine at the beginning, but I am very satisfied when I see the uneven thickness of twine flowing out of the spinning wheel.
This is a skilled job. The people of Daxia have never lacked wisdom, especially in labor.
Five more days later, most women were able to spin even twine.
Then some big men used wooden frames to flatten the twine, tighten it, and turn it into warp threads, and some were wound on a wooden shuttle as weft threads. This is a labor force, so naturally a man needs to do it.
Finally, weaving cloth, and the loom was designed with easy breakage. He selected the thirty women in Zhuangzi who were the most skillful and skillful, to be responsible for weaving cloth.
A month passed, and as the linen was weaving out of the loom bit by bit, Yi Duo couldn't help laughing wildly.
Although the first batch of linen was not of good quality, it was cloth after all, and it was something that could be worn. He generously gave it to his employees, asking them to go back and make a perfect dress so that they would not be exposed.
Yi Duan really couldn't stand hundreds of women wandering in front of him all day long.
The linen is brown, and the clothes made are not very comfortable or beautiful. Compared with animal skin clothes, especially those on the body of Yibian and Shin, it is naturally incomparable, but it is enough for ordinary people.
The rest is to constantly improve the technology, how to weave exquisite and comfortable linen, this is the only way to do it.
Shi Xin watched Yi Duan take a month to make cloth and then turn it into clothes. She couldn't help but admire her and her eyes looked at Yi Duan with admiration.
"Broken, how did your brain grow? I really want to split your head and see, I'm almost catching up with the ancient saint."
Yi Duan heard this and said proudly: "This is my ability. It can turn the impossible into the possibility. Look at this hemp. Although hemp seeds can be eaten, hemp rods are even more precious. They are used to weave cloth. At least they can be used to keep warm? It's summer now, but once winter comes, with the linen, I don't know how many people are immune to hunger and cold."
Shi Xin agreed and nodded, "This is a great merit. My eldest brother knows it and will definitely reward you."
Yi Duan laughed and said, "Are you guessing your eldest brother coveting these tools? Then take it as your own?"
Shi Xin said in confusion: "The world is all my elder brother's, so these tools are naturally my elder brother's. Why is he coveting these things?"
Yi Duan's face was full of black lines. In other words, he wanted to take it directly and didn't have to talk to him, the inventor.
"But my elder brother will definitely compensate you. You must know that this is a good thing that benefits all the people of the world. Once promoted, countless people in the world will appreciate your kindness."
Yi Duan immediately gave up his little thoughts. Isn’t his original purpose exactly? As long as someone uses it, he can achieve another goal.
The left and right are just some weaving techniques. Have you ever seen linen and cotton cloth? Do you know how to make silk? Where is paper?
I can crush you anyway?
Yi Duan, who consciously had his IQ crushed everything, recovered his mentality and looked proud.
The villagers were very grateful to the noble young master and presented the most precious things in the family, either a piece of bacon or a handful of millet.
Yi Duan immediately announced that a carnival would be held, and all the expenses would be paid by him.
At the carnival, everyone sang and danced, with rough dances and loud singing, as if they were venting something.
Shi Xin finally ate the delicious food made by Yi Duan again. She was very happy, and even happier that she could sing and dance with these villagers without restraint.
An old man with white hair and beard led a dozen old men to Yi Duan.
The old man said respectfully: "Shaojun, please name our Zhuangzi?"
Yi Duan was stunned. He had been here for so long, and it seemed that he had never heard of the name of Zhuangzi. He didn't care. It turned out that Zhuangzi had no name at all.
When the old man saw Yi Duan, he was stunned and said anxiously: "Shaojun, our Zhuangzi is a small Zhuangzi. If we cannot form a tribe, we are not qualified to have a name. However, Shaojun brought vitality to Zhuangzi, so we are naturally qualified to name Zhuangzi. From now on, our Zhuangzi will be Shaojun's Zhuangzi, and Shaojun is the leader of our Zhuangzi."
Yi Duan couldn't help but look at Ye Xin who was dancing happily. He was still hesitant about this because he didn't know whether it was in line with the rules.
The old man looked at Yi Duan's expression and hurriedly said, "Since ancient times, this has been the case. If a wise man gathers people's hearts, he is qualified to become a leader. Shaojun is a great sage. After doing so many things for us, he can naturally become a leader. Of course, if Shaojun dislikes us, then give up."
There is also this rule? But it seems good to have your own farm, at least you can do whatever you want, right?
Yi Duan suddenly laughed and said, "Elder, don't do this. Since there are such rules, I'm better respectful than obey my orders. Just want to report to the Queen of Xia?"
The old man smiled honestly and said, "No, we only need to worship our ancestors, and we will naturally feel it after summer."
Yi Duan looked at the old man in shock, and the old man greeted him. In an instant, the singing and dancing people stopped. They knelt on the ground, with their hands facing the sky.
The old man suddenly spoke, his voice louder.
Only Emperor Xi and I have virtue that matches God.
The sword is hunting the gang and the slightest intestines of the common people;
Wedding and funerals will bring prosperity to my country of etiquette.
Heluo is in vain, and Taiji is brilliant.
It has never faded over the ages, and has been passed down from generation to generation.
The Bohemian is vast and the smoke is swaying.
The descendants and grandchildren will accompany the universe for a long time.
I wish you a happy life!
