The Illegitimate Son of the Song Dynasty Volume 4 Chapter 735 Double Happiness

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At the end of November, Qin Cao gave birth to a son successfully.  This made Yang extremely happy. Now the family finally has three eldest grandsons and one eldest granddaughter, and there are some signs of prosperity. Of course, in Yang's view, this is not enough.

    The family was enjoying it when Yang Yi remembered the newly promulgated policy of encouraging childbearing by the imperial court, and suddenly said: "Sanlang is the fourth child in our family. Tomorrow I will apply to the imperial court for alimony, which is twenty buckets of rice per month and one child per year."  As for the piece of cloth, our family, Saburo, has caught up with a good time."

    As a result, as soon as he said this, he was severely scolded by Yang. The reason was: Qin Cao worked hard to give birth to a son, and you are sorry for Qin Cao by saying such things.

    Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed easy for people to have this misunderstanding, mistakenly thinking that he does not want to raise this son.  No, even Qing Niang joined in the condemnation of him. Suddenly, the Yang family had no place for him to stand.

    ??Well, Yang Daguan felt that he had said something wrong, so he had to stand up and be trained, accept ideological reform, and completely abandon this vulgar idea of ??poaching society.

    The newly born Yang Sanlang also avoided the tragic fate of being included in the lower household.

    Yang Daguan came to Qin Cao's bed, ready to plead guilty again, but the happy smile on Qin Cao's face prevented him from telling a joke.

    "Qin'er, I'm sorry."

    Qin Cao raised her hand and pressed her fingers gently on his lips. The smile on her face was as elegant as orchid. Although her face was still a little pale, the happiness seemed to be overflowing from her eyes.

    Yang Yi held her hand, gently caressed the slender jade fingers and said: "Qin'er, you are well-read in poetry and books, and you have a quick mind. In order to express my apology for being my husband, I will give you Sanlang's name."

    "It's the father's business to choose a name. How can I let a slave choose a name for a woman's family?" Qin Cao was a little moved, but still insisted on his duty.

    "That's right, naming is a father's right. Now, I will grant this power to you. Let's do this. Qin'er thinks about it and tells me quietly, and then on the surface it is still up to me to name it."

    Naming your child is something every parent hopes to do. Many people have already thought of many names before their child is born.  After repeated comparisons in my mind, Qin Cao was probably the same.  After listening to Yang Yi's words, she couldn't help but said: "Yang Lang, which word do you think is better between the words 'Mo' and 'Xuan'?"

    She had obviously thought about this a long time ago and blurted it out at this time.  Qin Cao was immediately embarrassed, as if she had stolen Yang Yi's naming rights, because she had thought of this before getting Yang Yi's authorization.

    "Yang Mo, Yang Xuan." Yang Yi tilted his head and thought carefully for a while and said: "My husband thinks the word 'Xuan' is better. Xuan means grand. At the same time, it also means noble and gentle. In addition, in Buddhism  Zhong. The person in Xuan is pure and untainted, his spiritual light shines alone, he is far away from the roots and dust, his body reveals his true nature, regardless of words, what does Qin'er say?"

    "Well, I think the word Xuan is better!" Qin Cao couldn't stop smiling this time. In fact, she originally preferred the word Xuan, but she was worried that Yang Yi wouldn't like it, so she added an ink word for him.  select.

    "Okay, since Qin'er thinks so too, let's use the word Xuan. I'm ashamed of myself for my husband. Look at the name I gave Erlang. It's far worse than the one I named Qin'er. Qin'er's talent is so great for my husband."  Not as good as that!¡±

    "Yang Lang, don't say that, I can't bear it."

    Yang Yizheng was waiting to comfort her when Li Lian'er's voice came from outside the door. Didn't this girl say she would leave the cabinet at the end of the year?

    Li Lian'er followed the maid who led the way and walked in. She was wearing a swan bun, a fox fur coat, and a pleated skirt that stretched to the floor. She was very tall and graceful. When she saw Yang Yi, she immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations, Fourth Brother,  Congratulations to fourth brother, where is my nephew, please let me hug him."

    Yang Yi rolled his eyes and said: "The time to leave the cabinet is coming soon, and you are still running around. Is it ridiculous?"

    Li Lian'er's pretty face suddenly turned as red as a piece of red cloth, but after thinking about it for a moment, she felt that Yang Yi's words sounded like an elder brother's, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

    "Fourth brother, I heard that I have a nephew again, so I am very happy!"

    Yang Yi just said that and didn't bother to care where she ran. He left Li Lian'er to talk to Qin Cao and went out of the house.

    Li Lian'er's future husband will be Cao Bin's fifth-generation grandson Cao Yi. In addition to Cao Bin receiving a title posthumously for his military exploits, the Cao family also gave birth to a queen, Queen Cishengguangxian.

    Although the Cao family is very prominent, the children in the family have always adhered to their duties. Cao Yan, the younger brother of Empress Cishengguangxian, and others had a reputation for virtue during their lifetime and were praised by both the government and the public.

    Cao Yi is the grandson of Cao Yi, and he is the Yemeni rival of Li Lian'er.

    Li Lian'er's father, Li Leran, has been re-appointed by the imperial court. Now he is the magistrate of Shicheng County to the east of Youzhou. Li Leran was originally one of the victims of the struggle between the old and new parties. After the imperial court recovered Yanyun and the Western Regions, it urgently needed a large number of officials to govern. During the period, Li Leran was re-appointed.  There are many officials like Li Leran.

      In fact, so far, Yang Yi has not seen Li Leran, nor does he want to.  This time Li Lian'er leaves the cabinet, I don't know if Li Leran will come to Beijing, but Yang Yi is determined not to join in the fun.

    Yang Yi walked to the study room and saw Qing Niang coming happily. She pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Yang, go and have a look. Sister Qing'er's hydraulic spinning wheel has been developed. Go and have a look."

    Qing Niang was probably trotting over, her face was flushed, and her graceful and clear posture became more and more attractive. Yang Yi hugged his small waist and said with a smile: "Qing Niang, if you don't go walking in the snow to find poems, how can I be with you?"  Sister Qing'er is joining in the fun?"

    "It's not snowing now. Besides, poetry can't be found just by looking for it. I'm too lazy to go out these two days. It's fun to watch Sister Qing'er develop spinning wheel monsters." Qing Niang raised her pretty face with a March-yang spring look on her face.  The bright color.

    "Fun? Okay, let's go take a look at your sister Qing'er's masterpiece. Qing Niang, if you like it, I'll let your sister Qing'er give you the naming rights. Instead of calling it Su Qing's spinning wheel, let's call it Qing Niang's spinning wheel.  ?¡±

    "I don't want it. Sister Qing'er worked hard for a long time to develop this. Naturally, it uses Sister Qing'er's name."

    Yang Yi and Qing Niang were chatting and laughing.  Come to the front yard.

    There was running water flowing in from the front yard of the Yang family when they bought the house.  Yang Yi had a large waterwheel built in the front yard. Now the power of Shisanniang's water-powered spinning wheel comes from this large waterwheel.

    When the two of them arrived, the front yard was already full of people, including the family's maids and servants, as well as several skilled craftsmen from the Yang family's newly established "Yang Academy of Science" in the farm. Su Qing turned the water wheel around so quickly this time.  The development of the spinning wheel was indispensable without the help of these skilled craftsmen.

    When Yang Yi arrived, Thirteenth Niang, who was dressed in men's clothing, suddenly showed a gentle smile.  Yang Yi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, ma'am. Is it done?"

    "My lord, take a look!"

    "Well, let me take a look."

    Yang Yi said as he walked to the big spinning wheel. This water-powered spinning wheel was more than two feet long and about five feet wide. First, he built the ground and the four corners of the wooden frame were five feet high.  The horizontal beam is pierced in the middle, and the wooden frame is placed on top.  Its Fangmu has two mountain passes.  Recumbent scroll, long column, iron shaft.

    Next, a long wooden base was erected on the front ground, with mortars on the base to hold the iron dustpan at the bottom of Shi.  Use a wooden cart to make a tube, one foot and two inches long and one foot and two inches in circumference.  Thirty-two pieces in total.  Tangled with yarn inside.  Iron rings with cane heads are used on all carriages to hold the carriage's axle.

    In the front row of the front row, the small iron fork divided the spinning bars and turned to the long stay.  There are still two wheel seats on the left and right, connected with leather strings, and the rotating drum is turned on the train.

    The entire large spinning wheel is driven by a waterwheel with bearings.  Transmit the rotational force to the left guide wheel of the spinning wheel frame.  The rotation of the left guide wheel is connected to the right guide wheel through a leather string, and the left and right guide wheels form a circular motion over and over again.

    The lower leather string is directly clawed on the spindle rod.  The spindle rod is driven by friction, thereby driving the spindle to rotate, and the upper leather string drives the rotating drum on the iron shaft of the yarn frame through friction, thereby causing the yarn frame to rotate.

    The rotation of the yarn frame relies on the action of a pair of intersecting wooden wheels, drums, and rope strings.  Therefore, the rotation direction of the wooden wheel on the iron state axis of the yarn frame and the wooden wheel pressed on the bearing under the upper leather string are opposite.

    ??And if this kind of water-powered spinning wheel removes the water wheel that provides the motive force, you can use human or animal power to turn the big wheel on the left, and you can still spin yarn.

    ¡° In this way, there is no need to work in places with water power, which greatly facilitates the construction of factories in places in the north that lack water resources.

    This spinning wheel sounds complicated, but the actual thing Yang Yi saw is actually relatively simple. The biggest difference is its spindle. The small spinning wheel used in the Song Dynasty now only has one spindle, which means that it can only spin one yarn at a time.  The spinning wheel brought back from Hainan Island only had three spindles.

    And this water-powered spinning wheel has thirty-two spindles, which means it can spin thirty-two threads at a time.  Its spindles are not vertical like the spinning machines of later generations, but are horizontal and evenly distributed on a long axis;

    "If the power provided by the waterwheel is strong enough, the shaft can be lengthened further, and the number of spindles it can accommodate will be more than thirty-two, and it can be doubled.

    As far as Yang Yi knows, the so-called spinning wheel Jenny could only spin eight threads at a time at first, but it has been hailed as a symbol of the first industrial revolution.

    So, can the water-powered spinning wheel developed by Su Qing, which can spin thirty-two yarns at a time, become a symbol of the first industrial revolution in the Song Dynasty?

    Yang Yi believes that as long as the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company is still under his control, this goal will be achieved.

    After Yang Yi read it, he asked Thirteenth Niang: "Madam, have you roughly calculated it? How much yarn can your water-powered spinning wheel spin in one day?"

    Thirteenth Niang said happily: "We have to wait a little longer, wait for my body to figure it out."

    "How to calculate?"

    "The officials have come and calculated it. Now we can spin four and a half kilograms of rice in half an hour."??, the official calculated how much he could spin in one day, hehe.  "

    "About a hundred pounds." Yang Yi's math is pretty good.

    "An ordinary spinning wheel can usually spin about three kilograms of yarn a day. Official, are you satisfied with the efficiency of one hundred kilograms a day?" Thirteen Niang is quite a bit asking for credit.

    ¡°Well, the Yang family is very poor. The thirteenth mother has no money to buy pearl hairpins and noodles. They still hope that this improvement can make some private money.

    But I heard Yang Yi say: "Of course I'm not satisfied. I hope that one day, the lady can improve it to a hundred ingots, or even more."
