Apart from these four points, Zhang Ping did not mention one more point. He was afraid that he would offend Jiang Pengji.
Nowadays, the land that was reclaimed was used to cultivate edible crops. She could not change it to something else for the sake of a hydraulic spinning wheel, could she?
In a chaotic world, manpower and land were the most important.
Zhang Ping faintly felt that his lord wanted to do something big and gradually weaken the weight of "manpower" and "land." However, reform was not something that could be accomplished in a day. It could easily affect the people of the world. Zhang Ping did not want his lord to be rash and radical, which would result in the failure of her hegemony.
Which one of the reformers had a good ending in the end?
Zhang Ping finished speaking calmly and waited for Jiang Pengji's decision.
She said, "Xiheng's concern is reasonable."
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience in the streaming room was the first to disagree.
No matter how useful the hydraulic spinning wheel was, it had a milestone significance.
Lunzi Zhu Lunzi: "Damn, streamer, don't be swayed by Zhang Ping. Although what he said is very reasonable, I can tell you that the significance of this thing is definitely more than that. Maybe later history will write this thing as a symbol of the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. "
Yewu Yanling: "Although what Zhang Ping said is not wrong and he thinks this way because of the current social context, the streamer is not from this era. She comes from the future and should be more aware of the importance of technology." If Zhang Ping's words could make her give up on this idea, she would not have supported Miss Huijun to do this. Have you all forgotten that Miss Wan Xiu 'er made cotton? This is a combo!
With the reminder from the big boss in the streaming room, everyone finally remembered that Wan Xiu 'er made cotton.
A water-powered spinning wheel wasn't much, but if cotton was also popular, this combination of punches would definitely be able to stun people.
If cotton was cultivated for a few generations, as long as the output reached 20% to 30% of the standard of their era, the impact on this ancient time and space would be equivalent to an earthquake. China had a population of 1.4 billion. Its land area was similar to that of the five countries of this era. However, the population of the five countries did not exceed 100 million because of the war over the years. With such a small population and so much land, there was still room for development.
In addition, they also knew that cotton did not have high requirements for soil. It was not as delicate as rice and wheat.
Food occupied the most fertile land. There was no conflict between planting cotton in other places.
The audience understood with emotion and was moved with reason. They wished they could rush into the screen, cross the dimensional barrier, and personally talk to Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji didn't want to scare the idle audience anymore. She simply said, "Although Xiheng's concerns are reasonable, it's not like there are no solutions to these difficult problems. Xiheng, my current ambition is to let all the people in the world be able to wear warm clothes and eat their fill. This thing is very useful. "
Zhang Ping looked at Jiang Pengji. He had always been face-blind, but when he saw the expression on his lord's face, he suddenly understood what Wei Ci had said.
Wei Ci had said that when the lord talked about serious matters, her eyes would shine, as if they could see through time and see the future.
Zhang Ping initially despised Wei Ci for being too artsy, but now he empathised with him.
It was indeed glowing!
Zhang Ping was blinded by the light, and Bai Yuexia's fangirl was even more intoxicated, unable to extricate herself.
"What does my lord want?"
"We haven't made any progress yet, but it won't be long. However, the spinning wheels here still need to be modified. I'm afraid they won't be enough when the time comes. " Jiang Pengji kept them in suspense. She said, "It's true that this will harm the livelihood of some people, but it will be beneficial to the people of the world. I will also think of ways to compensate the people whose interests have been damaged. I will try my best to reduce their losses and not affect their family's livelihood. If you are timid and give up the happiness of the majority for the sake of the interests of a small group of people, then you are not a qualified lord. "
Zhang Ping nodded as he listened, but Bai Yuexia was keenly aware that the lord's last sentence had a double meaning.
For the interests of the majority, she could sacrifice the interests of a small group of people without hesitation?
What if this small group of people were not ordinary people, but the aristocrats?
Thinking back to her attitude towards the aristocrats, the commoners, and the ordinary people, this lord was indeed different.
Bai Yuexia secretly glanced at Jiang Pengji's side profile. She only felt that this person was more upright and upright than the men in the world. She had her own proud and unyielding character.
Bai Yuexia and Huijun were infatuated with her.
Until …
Bai Yuexia asked, "My lord, you said that the spinning wheels still need to be modified?"
Jiang Pengji said, "Of course it has to be modified."
When asked about professional issues, Bai Yuexia naturally had to clarify.
"What does it have to be modified?"
"The production of a spinning wheel is complicated, but there is only one spindle. Why can't we increase the number of spindles?" Jiang Pengji said, "Instead of using 10 looms to make up 10 spindles, why not put 10 spindles on one machine? Won't there be more silk produced at the same time?"
This simple sentence immediately caused the two disciples of the Mo Family to be dumbfounded.
What was this called?
The lord moved her mouth, and the subordinates ran errands?
Put 10 spindles on one machine and let the spindles work at the same time? Was this possible?
Apart from the spinning wheels, Jiang Pengji also wanted them to improve the looms.
The efficiency of the current looms was very low, and they basically used both hands. But why not improve the looms so that both hands and feet could work?
Zhang Ping and Bai Yuexia were bombarded with questions one after another until they were dizzy. They wished that their parents could give them two more heads.
The key was that they could not refute. Although the lord's questions sounded very naive and unreasonable, these questions were like an omnipotent key that immediately unlocked the iron lock that imprisoned their thoughts and provided them with brand new research ideas.
But there was another problem —
What was the point of them working on the spinning wheels and looms?
Where did they get so much yarn and cloth to weave?
Reality proved that there was!
Another joyous event followed.
The newly married Feng Zhen pinched his chin. He only knew that his new wife was imitating Ancestor Lei and doing big things.
Ancestor Lei had invented silkworm rearing, while Wan Xiu 'er was planting cotton.
Before they got married, Wan Xiu 'er had specially brought some people to the ancestral home and stayed there to do something.
She did not hide these things from Feng Zhen, so he was more or less in the know.
However, he had never expected that his wife would follow in his master's footsteps. She had killed the big thing without saying a word.
"A pillow comes when you doze off. Zi Shi, your wife is much more capable than you."
Feng Zhen was dumbfounded and secretly touched his nose.
What did he do? He was definitely more capable than his wife.
But he could not speak carelessly in front of the lord, so he obediently served as Wan Xiu 'er's foil.
Jiang Pengji looked at the cart of information that Wan Xiu 'er had brought. The content was very detailed. She laughed and teased, "With this, even if you can't be compared to Ancestor Lei, it's more than enough to earn the title of' Little Ancestor Lei. ' If it succeeds, I will definitely remember your great merit — "
Wan Xiu 'er's heart leaped with joy.
Two good things were reported one after the other. Jiang Pengji was in a good mood, but there was always someone who did not have eyes to provoke her.
