Live as the emperor

Chapter 25 Another step ahead of the prince

The spinning machine was Chen Guang's counterattack.

Chen Guang supported the spinning machine, and said in the live broadcast room: "From today, this thing will be renamed. It will not be called Jenny Spinning Machine, but Chen Guang Spinning Machine."

"The name is really ugly."

"Yes. Not as good as Jenny."

Chen Guang grieved and said: "Do you know that you are worshiping foreigners? Hey, I am very sad."

"But the real Jenny sounds better, why don't you come up with another name." Netizens expressed their grievances.

Chen Guang was really defeated, and said: "You can discuss this name with me, and we will use it as a trademark. I will talk about it later, and now I want to test whether this machine can be used. Xiao Rong..."

"His Royal Highness King Jin." Yang Rong came over quickly, and was very surprised to see sawdust everywhere in the room.Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Jin has been stimulated by something and changed his career to carpentry?
Chen Guangdao: "Who in our house is the best at spinning?"

Yang Rong thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's Tweety."

"Then call me Tweety."

Soon, Tweety was brought over.Chen Guang looked at the fat woman in her 50s and said, "Are you Tweety?"

The fat woman said: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Jin."

Although the name should be a young girl, but after seeing the real person, Chen Guang found that he was deceived by the TV drama again, but this is not important, he pointed to the ugly guy behind him and asked: "You know how to spin, right?" Come try this."

Tweety looked at the machine with a puzzled expression on her face.The spinning machine she used before was in the shape of a hexagonal wheel, but this one is completely different from that one.Chen Guang then explained to her how to use the spinning machine, and Tweety went to get the materials and started spinning according to Chen Guang's method.

Seeing the cotton threads being pulled out from the outlet hole, and there were four threads at once, Tweety was very excited, and said: "This machine is amazing, it can produce four threads at a time, which means four people did it."

It's done!Although the shape is a bit ugly, the effect is still leveraged.Chen Guang thought, he seems to have a talent for carpentry.

"Well, this is my latest improved spinning machine. Let you try the effect. It looks good now. Go down." Chen Guang waved his hand.

Great, the machine is fully operational.

Yang Rong looked at the ugly wooden frame in surprise, and said, "Is this a spinning machine?"

In fact, what Chen Guang made is the simplest version of the spinning machine. It seems that he changed the shape of the spindle and changed it from horizontal to vertical, which is very simple.If there is a more complicated eight-thread machine, it will be much bigger than this, and it is completely impossible to make it with Chen Guang's carpentry level.

"Yeah, how's it going? It's not bad. I'm going out, one is two. Oh no, one is four. I'll ask you if you agree." Chen Guang was very proud.

Yang Rong flattered him and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin really has a fantastic idea. To be able to make such a miraculous machine is simply Lu Ban alive."

"Okay, okay, such an ugly thing. You go to the palace and invite two carpenters for me to make a new one." Although the functions are available, the shape is really not flattering, even Chen Guang himself Some can't stand it.

Soon, two carpenters came to the palace. According to the current statement, the identities of these two carpenters are equivalent to the level of skill inheritors receiving state subsidies.

Chen Guang directly took out the blueprint of the spinning machine that can spin eight cotton threads at a time, and asked the two craftsmen to make one with top-quality huanghuali wood.

"Luxury, too extravagant." Huanghuali's spinning machine has eight threads, and it is bigger than an ordinary table. Naturally, there are many materials used. When the finished product appears in front of the audience in the live broadcast room, Everyone clamored.

When Chen Guang faced this machine, his mouth was watering. He never thought that a machine could also be made into a work of art.The polished brackets, the regular wooden buckles, and the whole machine are all fastened with mortise and tenon, without using any nails or adhesives, which really explains what is called "tight fit".

"There's no way, the privileged class is the persecution, if you don't accept it, let's argue." Chen Guang twitched in the live broadcast room.

I won’t say how precious huanghuali is. Although it is not as good as small-leaf red sandalwood, the huanghuali wood from Hainan is also a very luxurious thing.Why did Chen Guang use such good materials to create such a treasure? Naturally, he had "ulterior motives".

Not to mention that Chen Guang was working on this "non-business" thing in his own mansion, the open space in the west of the city is now very lively, almost all the refugees in the city have gathered there, fortunately the place is big enough so that it will not appear crowded.Looking at the scale, there are dozens of stoves, which are much more luxurious than Chen Guang's previous layout. Hundreds of people are constantly cooking thick millet porridge. .Bags of rice were poured into the pot as if they were free of money—but they were indeed free of money. These were all "donated" by those rice shops.

As long as you can leave your name with the crown prince, no matter how much food you donate, you are willing to donate. You can make money after losing some money, but if you don't seize this opportunity, you don't know how long you will have to wait.You know, as long as you donate more than [-] shi, you can get Xiaonian the opportunity to participate in the East Palace banquet!The more donations, the closer the position will be to the dignitaries, this is the original words released by the East Palace!
If the time comes to get in touch with any official...

Thinking about it this way, even if you donate a thousand shi of polished rice, you won't even frown.

In the palace, a large sedan chair with eight lifts quietly left the city through the side door, and 64 elite guards in plain clothes protected the sedan chair.On the side of the sedan chair, Chen Yong in casual clothes is riding on a tall horse, full of ambition, quite like "the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in a day".

The only person in the sedan chair who could accompany the prince on horseback was the current emperor Chen Ang. Today he was out of the palace to inspect the congee distribution site at the strong request of the prince.

"Father, all the rice shops in the capital have heard about the charitable deeds of disaster relief, and they have spontaneously joined in. Now we have sufficient food supplies to ensure that we can survive this winter safely." When it was time to get to the soup kitchen, Chen Yong reported to Chen Anghui.

Chen Ang was very pleased after hearing this and said: "You did a good job. It really saved me a lot of time."

A few days ago, when Chen Guang was giving porridge with great fanfare, Chen Yong was still wandering around, which aroused Chen Ang's dissatisfaction.But just when Chen Ang was about to admonish the prince, Chen Yong used this trick. Only then did Chen Ang realize that he almost blamed the prince by mistake. It turned out that the prince was just preparing for the past few days.In this way, he couldn't help but think highly of the prince.

Chen Yong was very proud, but he tried his best to restrain himself, and said modestly: "It is the duty of the sons and daughters to share the worries of the father and the emperor."

"How about Guang'er's Hope Project?" Chen Ang asked again. It was a good thing to build a house for refugees, but the house was burned down just after it was built, which is really a pity.

Chen Yong showed a regretful expression on his face, and said: "Second brother must be very sad now, but it is already being rebuilt there, and I believe it will be rebuilt in the near future. I hope this time there will be no fire again."

"I hope so. It would be good to give these refugees a place to live. Guang'er is getting married tomorrow. As an elder brother, you have to help." Chen Ang said.

It’s okay not to mention this, Chen Yong feels angry when he mentions this, but fortunately the city is deep enough, well hidden, and Chen Ang didn’t notice, he laughed dryly and said: “Uh, haha, yes, congratulations He's grown up, and it's time to start a family."

Soon, they arrived outside the city. In a secret place, Chen Ang got off the sedan chair and "went among the crowd".

"My fellow, what do you think of the taste of this porridge?"

"Hey, you're new here, this porridge is usually not too much, it's enough to fill you up."

"My fellow, is this porridge enough?"

"Enough is enough, I eat ten bowls a day, hehe."

"..."

Chen Ang is doing "random interviews" here, while Chen Guang is doing another big thing at home - the preparation plan for the weaving factory.

The biggest incentive for the Industrial Revolution was large-scale and group operations. This is a typical difference from the era of small-scale peasant economy. This difference distinguishes modern society from ancient society.

And what Chen Guang wants to do is to use this machine in his hand as an opportunity to scale up the cotton textile industry. Clothes are the number one priority for basic necessities of life. .Look at these refugees, they freeze to death every day. If there were enough clothes to wear, such a tragedy would not have happened.

Writing with a brush is really tiring, but it exercises one's patience, so practicing calligraphy can definitely improve one's temper.After only writing for a while, Chen Guang felt sore all over his body, which can also explain why the ancients wrote relatively short and concise articles-if you want to write a work report with tens of thousands of words like now, you will not be exhausted.

"His Royal Highness King Jin." Yang Rong's voice sounded from outside.

"Come in."

Yang Rong came in, holding something like a menu in his hand. He put the things on the table and said, "This is from the palace. The process of getting married tomorrow."

Chen Guang nodded slightly and said, "Got it."

"The emperor went to the place where the prince gave porridge today." Yang Rong continued.

Chen Guang suddenly raised his head: "Oh?"

Logically speaking, he will be getting married tomorrow, so he should be in the palace at this time, why would he go to the west of the city?

"What is Father doing there?"

Yang Rongdao: "It seems that His Royal Highness invited the emperor to the place where the porridge is given out."

"Hold the grass." Chen Guang suddenly felt that he seemed to be slow again. This Chen Yong's ability to invite credit is simply stronger than the talents of the 21st century. He just learned to ask the leader to watch after making some noise. .

Well, I take it.
