Chapter 122 122 The Craftsman Is Also Panicking

Chapter 123 123. The craftsmen are also panicking

Shanlin Town.

In the past two days, Luo Ning has held a mobilization meeting for the craftsmen from Shanlin Town to let them know their respective division of labor.

Blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices are busy making plows and farm tools, and they also have to guide bricklayers to build new blacksmith shops;

Some carpenters are arranged to make the plow body of the curved plow, and some are put into the iron and wood workshop to start completing the orders of Wushanbao;

Bricklayers are involved in the construction of new houses, etc.

At the same time, in order to allow the people to spend this winter safely, Luo Ning specially allowed all the people in the town to cut trees along the south out of Shanlin Town, north to Qingzhu Village, and the area of ​​Tiemulin.

All the branches, trunks and even leaves obtained belong to the cutters, and they no longer need to buy the right to cut trees from the lord as before.

For a time, the entire Shanlin Town entered an era of large-scale construction.

"Sir, I visited Kales's blacksmith shop these two days and found the bellows you designed very interesting."

Master Craftsman Daen followed Ronin and walked through the outer fort of Shanlin Castle, not knowing where Ronin was going to take him.

But it didn't matter. He had studied the bellows yesterday. Although the structure was simple, the design was very exquisite. He became more and more curious about Ronin. This young noble had a lot of ideas!

"Those are all gadgets."

Although Ronin said this, he was still a little proud in his heart, after all, this thing was completely made by him.

"Mr. Daen, what I want you to do for me today is very difficult, but if it is done well, it will definitely be an unprecedented progress!"

Ronin turned and looked at the other party, emphasizing: "If you can really make it, it is not an exaggeration for outsiders to call you a great craftsman."

Dan was completely attracted by the title of "great craftsman". He had nothing to pursue in his life, only this.

Hearing Ronin's words, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and wanted to know what Ronin needed him to do.

However, he was quite calm and not impatient.

"My Lord, please don't be so polite to me. I am like those craftsmen. I come to Shanlin Town to serve you. Please tell me if you have any arrangements or requests. I will do my best!"

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the house on the west side of the outer fort.

This is where Tom's mother, Mrs. Leah, lives and works. It is a tailor shop.

The three tailor apprentices from Wushan City were arranged here.

"Lord, you are here!"

Leah saw from a distance and came out to greet him, a little restrained. She knew that her son was not dead, but just stayed with the lord in the form of Tom.

Although the mother and son were very worried about Ronin's attitude at the beginning, they lived in worry every day. But after Tom was arranged to become a regular employee when he returned from the Horse Herding City last time, the worries of the mother and son completely turned into respect and gratitude for the lord.

So Leah was very serious about what Ronin specifically told him.

"Mrs. Leah, how are you preparing the cocoons I gave you before I left last time?"

When Ronin left Shanlin Town for Wushan Fort last month, he gave Leah the hand-cranked spinning wheel and several large baskets of cocoons, and taught her how to reel silk and open cotton.

"My lord, it's done!"

Leah said, taking Ronin into the inner room, and Ronin motioned for Daen to follow.

When they came to the house, Leah took out several dozen silk threads that had been spun, "My lord, this is the silk thread made according to the method you provided."

"What is this?"

Craftsman Daen's eyes widened, looking at the large circle of silk thread that Ronin took in his hand in disbelief.

"Is this wool thread?"

He thought subconsciously, but soon shook his head, "No, this is not wool! Wool is not this thin, and it is impossible to be so white and bright!"

Daen looked at Roning with doubtful eyes, he really wanted to know the answer.

Roning held the thread in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, and nodded after a while, "Liya, you are worthy of being the most famous tailor in the town, you are careful and skillful, I am very satisfied with this silk thread!"

The tailors here are not only cutting and making clothes, but also involved in the production of linen, the weaving and dyeing of wool, so Roning handed the silk matter to Leah.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir!"

Roning turned to Daen with the silk thread, and the latter could not help but stand up straight, listening carefully.

"Master Daen, this is a special silk thread I found. Please keep it secret for me before it is made public."

Daen was shocked, and the young lord became more mysterious.

"Please rest assured, sir, I will never say a word to anyone!"

Roning nodded slowly, and then told the purpose of looking for the other party.

"We are now weaving either with a heavy hammer loom or a waist loom, but both are too inefficient for me. What I need you to do now is to design a loom that can greatly improve the efficiency of weaving!"

Ah?

Daen was a little surprised. He never thought that Roning asked him to come for this matter.

"Loom?"

He hesitated a little, "Sir, what kind of thing is the loom you are talking about?"

Daen was a little confused at this time. He had no idea about these.

"Weaving is to interweave the longitudinal and transverse threads to create fabrics, whether it is a heavy hammer loom, a waist loom, or the loom I mentioned."

Ronin began to explain, "But the cloth woven by the first two is relatively rough, especially the heavy hammer loom, which we cannot use to weave fine silk threads like silk."

"You can ask Leah to take you to take a closer look at the working principle of the waist loom later. The loom I want is to use a frame to support the wooden stick of the waist loom, and use the pedal to open the longitudinal line, so that the weavers can only focus on threading and tying the horizontal lines."

"In this way, the work efficiency of the weavers can be improved. At the same time, due to the control of the machine, the fineness of the weaving and the quality of the fabric will also be greatly improved."

Daen is a well-known craftsman after all, but when listening to Ronin's story, panic flashed in his eyes.

Now he knows why Ronin just said that it is possible to become a great craftsman if he makes this thing.

"My lord, please forgive my clumsiness. I didn't understand what you were saying for a while... for a while."

Ronin scratched his head and took out the loom pattern he tried to draw.

It's a pity that this thing is too complicated, not as simple as a bellows, and he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he can only draw a side view, and it's just a rough outline.

"Look, this is a pedal. The weaver only needs to step on it to achieve the vertical line up and down. This is the reed used to pull the vertical line. The gauze I mentioned is based on 800 reeds as the standard, each reed has four threads, and a total of 3,200 vertical lines are pulled..."

This story took half a day, and Mrs. Leah even brought Ronin a glass of water in the middle.

The more Dan listened, the more confused his brain became, and the more cold sweat he got on his forehead. Today, his brain has received a lot of information, and it has begun to swell and ache.

Fortunately, after this story, he roughly knows what the lord wants to make.

At least he can understand the appearance of the shelf.

"My lord, you are a genius!"

After listening to the story, Dan wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help praising.

Roning handed the parchment to the other party, "It's a pity that I can only come up with a rough idea. You are the one who really has to design it."

Daen took the parchment solemnly, carefully put it in his arms, and his eyes lit up with fighting spirit.

"My lord, please give me some time. I will first learn the working principle of the waist machine from Mrs. Leah, and then study the loom you mentioned."

Roning nodded and patted the other party's shoulder solemnly, "I believe in your ability, Master Daen, I hope that in the near future, Shanlin Town will have such a loom!"

Daen felt heavy in his heart, but he still nodded heavily.

It turned out that coming to Shanlin Town was right. He finally found his goal!

"Mrs. Leah, I also have something to give you."

"It's a pleasure to serve you, sir." Leah listened carefully.

Luo Ning said: "Although the waist loom is inefficient, it can still be used to weave silk. I need you to use these silk threads to weave a scarf for me."

"The last day of next month is Marquis Lulans' birthday, and I want to use this scarf as a gift."

Liya felt pressured when she heard the first sentence. Silk was the first time she had come into contact with silk, and it was difficult to control.

She felt a huge pressure when she heard the second sentence.

Oh my God, she actually had to weave a scarf for the Marquis!

"My Lord, I'm worried..."

Lu Ning comforted: "Don't worry, just do your best. Even if it's not finished by then, I'll prepare other gifts."

Lulans was very kind to Luo Ning. On his birthday, Luo Ning naturally couldn't go empty-handed.

Making a scarf with silk was just one of his gifts. He also had other preparations, such as making a coat with the skin of the Storm Wolf.

The fur of the fourth-level monster is also a precious material, and it is not a loss of face to give it away.
