The next day, it was still a clear day, and it was a good time to work. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After dealing with official business, Xiao Feng saw that there was still some time, so he took the time to come to the Guanyin Temple. Because the host of the Guanyin Temple died in Liujiabao, this Guanyin Temple was requisitioned by the Chifeng Army as the station of the Knights of the Girls of the Worried Country.

The nuns, some women who had fled here, and those who had escaped from the great families were also gathered here, and they were taught to read and write, and to teach them skills such as medicine, female redness, and arithmetic.

The maiden was taken in here so that she and her newborn daughter could have a safe place to live.

Before entering this Guanyin Temple, Xiao Feng heard a burst of "da-da-da" sound from it, with rhythm one by one, although there was no sense of melody, but she felt very comfortable listening to this sound.

If women are to be physically independent, they must be financially independent.

Moreover, it was autumn at this time, and the weather was gradually getting colder, and the soldiers of the Red Phoenix Army urgently needed warm clothes to survive this cold winter.

So Xiao Feng came up with the idea, and she Chifeng Jun bought wool, cotton, mulberry linen and other textiles from the local vendors, and then weaved clothes from as many as 100 women who were taken in here, and distributed them to the sergeants.

First, it can solve the problem of these women's financial resources, and second, it can also solve the problem of winter clothes for soldiers, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of the possible future, Xiao Feng's originally serious face also showed a slight smile, pushing open the door and stepping into this Guanyin Temple, she saw several girls gathering in front of a textile machine to discuss, in addition to several heads of the Girl Knights of the Worried Country, there were several other women among them, and one of them was Na Wei Niang.

"What are you talking about, so excited?"

With a smile, Xiao Feng didn't have the seriousness of facing Zhang Bangyi and Yu Wenwei, but was as gentle as the sister next door.

Li Lian immediately bowed her body for a moment, then pointed to a loom erected next to her, and replied, "Let's discuss whether we can improve this loom to reduce some of the burden." After all, the sisters were weak and lacked strength, so they couldn't hold on for too long. ”

"Is this human?" Xiao Feng stepped forward and squatted down to take a look at the loom in front of him.

Although this loom is made of wood, but the crank, tread, spikes and other parts are not missing, which can completely allow the operator to step on the pedal, and then drive the rope wheel and spindle to rotate through the crank to complete the twisting and drafting work, a person can weave more than one meter in one hour.

Even so, if you use a hundred looms in this Guanyin Temple to meet the needs of tens of thousands of people in the Red Phoenix Army for winter cotton clothes, it is still not enough.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Lian discussed with several people in charge to see if the loom could be changed to improve the efficiency of weaving.

Shaking her head, Li Lian replied helplessly: "That's right." Although we are busy day and night, but the demand is huge, with such a small number of people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet the demand for clothes. ”

After accepting those Toucheng Righteous Army, the current number of the Chifeng Army has reached 14,000 people, and if 14,000 people need five meters of cloth according to each person, it still means that in just three months before the cold winter comes, they have to produce 70,000 meters, and 70,000 meters will take at least more than 100 days according to the production efficiency in the Guanyin Temple at this moment.

For more than a hundred days, wouldn't those soldiers be short of clothes?

It was for this reason that several people discussed to see if they could improve the loom so that it could produce more cloth.

"If it's changed to water conservancy, can it be?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Feng opened his mouth and replied.

She had been to the iron smelting station in Xiangyuan County, and had seen the hydraulic hammers made by those craftsmen for forging artillery, so she thought that if the power was changed to water conservancy, and those spindles were increased to tens or even hundreds, would it also increase the production efficiency?

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Lian's eyes: "Water conservancy?"

"That's right, it's water conservancy. After all, next to this Taiyuan city is Fenshui, and you only need to set up a workshop on the bank of the river, and you can use the continuous water conservancy to drive machinery, and then you can continue to work. It's just that this machine is too large, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be made for a while. Xiao Feng explained slowly.

At this moment, Na Wei Niang opened her mouth and replied: "Speaking of which, I have seen similar things when I was in Jiangnan. Because of the developed water system and huge demand, those merchants spent huge sums of money to build such huge spinning wheels, which are three zhang long and one zhang high, and the end is extremely huge. The cloth produced in one day is better than the work of a hundred. It's just that there isn't much sales in the Northland, so no one has spent a lot of money on such a behemoth. ”

Xiao Feng was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "In that case, can you draw that huge spinning wheel and make it into shape?"

"I saw it once when I was younger, and it would be difficult to come up with it. She replied with a distressed face, she was not unwilling, but because the age was too far away, her memory was a little blurry.

"It doesn't matter, and since someone has ever made it, it means that the idea is right. In that case, how can I let it go? Later, of course, I will gather the craftsmen to help you get out of the water-wheeled spinning wheel, so that you may make enough clothes for the soldiers in the army as soon as possible, so that they will not be cold. Xiao Feng is not the kind of person who sits idly by, now that she knows the solution, she has no intention of delaying time, and immediately asked people to pass the news to Xiao Xing who is far away in Luzhou, so that she can mobilize craftsmen and weaver girls to start making this water wheel spinning wheel with all her might.

After hearing the order, the group also began to get busy.

Even if they occupied Taiyuan City, they knew that Meng Yuan would definitely not be good at resting, and the reason why they did not move at this moment was just to accumulate strength and mobilize troops and horses, after all, in addition to their Red Phoenix Army, Mongolia also had the Southern Song Dynasty entrenched in the south, and it was always glued to it.

In order to prevent the Southern Song Dynasty from taking advantage of the fire to rob at this time, it was certainly impossible for Meng Yuan to withdraw those front-line troops, so naturally he had to spend more time collecting the grain, grass, materials and various weapons and weapons needed for the army, as well as suppressing the bandits from all over the country driven by the uprising of the Red Phoenix Army.

Taking advantage of this time, the Red Phoenix Army can naturally concentrate on accumulating strength.

The compilation of the Tiger Squat Artillery Drill Manual, the improvement of the organization and construction of the territory, the collection of grain and grass, and the making of winter clothes, each of which is very important, forcing everyone to run all the time, just to survive the next storm.
