And the work efficiency is getting higher and higher!
Especially when the speed of the transmission shaft is increased, the speed of weaving is so fast that it dazzles the eyes!
Previously it was necessary to lift the warp thread, pass one weft thread, lower the warp thread, lift another part of the warp thread, and thread another weft thread.
These originally required manpower to drive the loom to complete these operations.
The speed is very fast in this era, but in Li Ke's view it is still relatively slow.
But it's different now. In the face of the powerful power of the steam engine, the speed of completing this process is so many times faster!
In the blink of an eye or two, all the operations in this process were completed.
And all the looms seem to be carved out of the same mold, almost the same frequency!
"The speed is so fast!"
Although they have heard before, steam engines can greatly improve production efficiency.
But after seeing this scene with his own eyes, the head of the spinning and weaving workshop was still deeply shocked!
The boss with wide-eyed eyes is full of disbelief!
Where is this to improve production efficiency?
This is simply God's magic, helping them spin and weave cloth!
The speed of weaving in front of me is so fast that it dazzles the eyes. It is hard to imagine how much weaving will be done non-stop for a day?
Originally, the output of Yangzhou spinning workshop and weaving workshop was exaggerated, but compared with the scene in front of you.
What is that output?
In the future, the output of yarn and cloth from the spinning and weaving workshops in Yangzhou can, without exaggeration, directly supply the entire Datang!
Except for the two of them, all the female workers in the workshop were also stunned!
The scene in front of them was completely beyond their cognition, and the visual impact it had on them was too strong.
Such a fast speed made them feel like they were just fishing and being lazy.
After all, compared to the scene in front of them, their speed was much, much slower.
Seeing the shock on the faces of everyone in the workshop, Li Ke couldn't help but smile.
This is the reaction that the ancients should have had when they saw the steam engine for the first time!
The technology of complete dimensionality reduction and attack has shone brightly in Datang more than 1000 years in advance.
From then on, Datang's textile industry will officially take off!
After a while, some yarn ran out, and the women workers began to change the yarn.
Since they have been proficient in the operation of this new type of loom and spinning machine before, their movements are relatively proficient.
It's just that before there was no steam engine, the roulette next to it would not keep spinning.
The roulette next to it is still spinning, which makes the female workers a little scared.
For the first time, I changed the new yarn quite nervously, and then let the loom work again.
"When working, you must pay attention to safety!"
Li Ke exhorted the two principals in a very serious tone.
This set is good for everything, but there is a little security risk.
But as long as you do things in full accordance with the standards, it is actually very safe.
I am afraid that my hand will accidentally touch the drive belt, and then it will be injured.
Even if it is caught between the belt and the wheel, the damage will be more serious.
Therefore, he specially instructed the two principals to patrol here more and remind everyone more.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The two also nodded solemnly.
Li Ke wandered around the workshop for a few times, and after about half an hour, statistics came out.
"Your Highness, the yarn spun in half an hour now is nearly three hundred times that of before."
"The cloth weaved is more than 200 times that of before!"
The two principals looked extremely excited, and their voices were trembling with excitement.
This data is really shocking!
This completely exceeded their estimates, even though they had already estimated the increase in production brought by the steam engine to be very high.
But the result still gave them a big surprise.
Three hundred times, more than 200 times!
They couldn't find any words to describe their inner feelings at this moment.
Anyway, they looked at Li Ke at this time, as if they were looking at a god, full of awe!
Because only gods and immortals can achieve this scene.
"good."
Hearing this data, Li Ke also smiled with satisfaction.
It is this unreasonable increase in efficiency and output that is in line with the status of a steam engine!
Otherwise, how did the steam engine start the first industrial revolution?
Otherwise, how did the textile industry take off completely with the steam engine?
Without this exaggerated increase in production, can it be called take-off?
This is like comparing the production efficiency of the modern textile industry with the production efficiency of more than 1000 years ago.
Can the improvement not be great?
"Your Highness, the cloth produced by our Yangzhou textile workshop may supply the entire Tang Dynasty!"
The head of the textile workshop said to Li Ke excitedly.
In the past, the cloth of Yangzhou Textile Workshop was mainly supplied to the Yangtze River Basin and the Canal Basin.
The west side is supplied by Chang'an Textile Workshop.
The south and north sides are supplied by Quanzhou Textile Workshop and Dengzhou Textile Workshop respectively.
But even so, looking at the entire Datang cloth market, there is still a large demand and gap.
Because the population of Datang is here, the consumption of cloth is too large.
With the previous cloth output, although the demand for cloth can be alleviated, it is far from being able to achieve sufficient supply.
But now, with the addition of the steam engine in the weaving workshop, all this has changed.
The cloth output has directly increased by more than 200 times, and there is no need for workshops in the other three places. Only the textile workshop in Yangzhou can supply all the cloth needs of Datang.
"The workshop will continue to expand."
However, Li Ke is still not satisfied with this output, and will continue to expand and expand production.
"Your Highness, will this cause excess production capacity? The production of cloth is already very high now."
"If we continue to expand and expand production, I'm afraid it will squeeze the interests of the other three companies."
5.9 The head of the textile workshop said to Li Ke with some concern.
The textile workshop in Yangzhou is still separated from the textile workshop in Chang'an.
The textile workshops in Dengzhou and Quanzhou were separated from the textile workshops in Yangzhou.
Everyone is a family. If they continue to expand production here, won't it make the other three completely squeezed out?
Even without considering these, the current output is high enough to supply almost the entire Datang.
If we continue to expand and expand production, wouldn't the cloth produced only have to be piled up in warehouses?
"Is Datang the only country in this world?"
"Don't people in other countries need cloth?"
Li Ke smiled slightly, and asked two questions to the head of the textile workshop.
"Your Highness means"
Hearing this, the owner of the textile workshop was startled for a moment, but then reacted, his eyes widened.
Obviously, he already understood what Li Ke meant.
The people in the Tang Dynasty had a saturated demand for cloth, so there are so many countries outside of the Tang Dynasty, and there are so many people.
What a huge market this is, even the current cloth output is far from enough!
Only by expanding and expanding production again, and also expanding and expanding production in Dengzhou and Quanzhou, can we supply the cloth markets of various countries!
Seeing that the textile master understood what he meant, Li Ke couldn't help but nodded with a smile.
Let the cloth business become the first step towards a great voyage!
PS: The first update! .
Chapter 264 Long Live His Royal Highness King Wu?Promote high-yielding grain seeds!
Just as the master of the textile workshop thought.
If you just limit your vision to the territory of Datang, then the current output of Yangzhou Textile Workshop is absolutely sufficient.
It’s not enough to say enough, and even the matter of reducing production has to be considered.
But Li Ke's vision has always been global, not limited to the Tang Dynasty for a moment.
This output is indeed very high, but globally, it is still far from enough.
After the expansion and expansion, the production of cloth can be doubled on the existing basis.
Cloth can be distributed as a salary in the Tang Dynasty and can be traded as currency.
In other words, cloth is wealth, and the explosion of cloth production means that the wealth of Datang has greatly improved.
Secondly, the explosion of cloth production will naturally lead to a reduction in cost and selling price.
In this way, the common people can spend less money and buy more cloth.
This means that everyone's money has increased in value, which is also a kind of prosperity!
For example, before 4 Wen could only buy one piece of cloth, but now 4 Wen can buy two bolts of cloth.
This naturally means that the money is more valuable, and the same money can buy more things, which is equivalent to being twice as rich.
When Datang's cloth market was saturated, what they wanted to do was not to reduce production, but to continue to expand production.
Because outside of Datang, there is still a huge market!
In Datang, the cost and selling price of cloth were very low.
But in countries other than Tang Dynasty, cloth is still a very expensive material!
Buy cloth from Datang at a low price, then transport it to overseas countries by large ships, and sell it to the local people at a high price. This is a huge wealth!
The more cloth sold, the more wealth earned back.
And what they earn back is not limited to gold and silver, there are also a lot of precious materials.
In this way, Datang will naturally become richer and richer.
Therefore, instead of reducing production, the textile factory must continue to expand and expand production!
"Your Highness, 21, but how to transport the cloth to overseas countries? It is said that the wind and waves are rampant on the sea, which is very dangerous."
Although he understood Li Ke's thoughts, the head of the textile workshop still had a question.
Although so much cloth can be sold, how can it be transported there?
"It's true that the sea is very stormy, but a bigger ship is more resistant to wind and waves."
"The major shipyards in Yangzhou are now building large ships, and a large number of large ships will be launched in the near future, and these ships can sail safely on the sea."
