Wei Shi was a later generation who valued women's human rights and was unwilling to do anything against a woman's will.

Not so with Cai Guang.

This rogue is a lustful ghost who likes young girls to cry under him. He had been to Wei Shi's house before and almost soiled Wei Xiao'e's innocence.

After marrying Yuniang, Cai Guang used Cai Lichang's words to drive Cai's mother away, and that night he wanted to be the overlord.

As a result, Yu Niang fiercely resisted, and under the beating between the two, Cai Guang's undamaged treasure was severely damaged again, causing blood to flow profusely.

"You bitch, how dare you disobey me." Cai Guang was so angry that he punched Yu Niang in the eyes without showing any pity for her.

After venting his anger, Cai Guang shook out everything in Yu Niang's bag.

The few strings of money Yu Niang had accumulated through weaving and needlework were also looted by Cai Guang.

After getting the money, this guy who was addicted to gambling staggered out of the door and headed towards the gambling house in Dengcheng.

It's a pity that Xiao Yuniang was beaten and bruised all over her body, and she was so hungry that she fainted in the yard of Cai Guang's house. If no one found her, her life would be lost.

Fortunately, Cai's mother knew how to go home after having a good time with Cai Lizhang, thus saving Yu Niang's life.

A selection of relatives increased the taxes of Xinye County a lot.

The Xinye County Magistrate was very happy about this.

He was not well-informed and did not know that outside Xiangyang City, General Zhennan and Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao were drinking and chatting with the emperor's uncle Liu Bei, and the ownership of Xinye was determined at this time.

The overall situation of Nanyang County is not something Wei Shi can affect.

The most important thing for him now is to feed his family of three.

Relying on his increasingly clear night vision and increasingly proficient archery skills, Wei Shi could barely make a living by hunting, but if he wanted to go further, he was powerless.

At the beginning, Wei Shi aimed to revitalize his family business in the blacksmith shop left by Blacksmith Wei.

The skills passed down from our ancestors cannot be abandoned.

However, after looking for Deng Fan and Huang Xu to learn about the Han Dynasty's regulations on the control of iron tools, especially weapons, Wei Shi gave up the idea of ​​improving his blacksmithing skills first.

The two armies of Liu Biao and Cao Cao were facing each other, and their swords were at war.

Both sides are increasing their strength on the front line. If Wei Shi shows his ability to make sophisticated weapons, it will not take long before he will be exposed.

Based on Wei Shi's understanding of Liu Biao's ability to run the army, once he joins the army, he may die but not return.

The iron shop was temporarily unavailable, so Wei Shi turned his attention to spinning cloth. This inspiration came from Han Qiuyun's hands, which were calloused by spinning threads.

When he was in Hanjiawan, Han Qiuyun's main job was to use a spinning wheel to spin thread. Of course, due to technical reasons, the Han family's spinning wheel was still a hand-operated single-spindle wheel.

When Wei Shi was in graduate school, for a period of time to write his graduation thesis, he went to the museum to study the textile technology of the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and saw a three-spindle hemp spinning wheel in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Use feet instead of hands.

The freed hands can be used to merge and twist the hemp strands. In this way, the production efficiency can be increased two to three times.

Wei Shi did it as he was told, and the wood for making the spinning wheel was also readily available. There were many branches as thick as a bowl in the elm forest, which could be cut into pieces to make the keel of the spinning wheel.

After Han Qiuyun heard that Wei Shi wanted to improve the spinning wheel, he was very curious.

A foot-operated spinning wheel?

This made her look forward to it.

It took Wei Shi seven days to complete all the components of the new spinning wheel, and then he assembled a strange-looking pedal spinning wheel under the watchful eyes of Han Qiuyun and Wei Xiao'e.

"Try it and see the effect?" Wei Shi straightened up and said to Han Qiuyun.

Han Qiuyun's hands and feet were quick and she kicked off her long legs and sat on the armchair. She was a little confused at first, but after a while, she gradually became proficient in driving skills.

Compared with the hurry of bending down and spinning on a hand-operated spinning wheel, Wei Shi's new spinning wheel had four spindles and the speed was suddenly increased.

More importantly, the whole person is more relaxed than before.

"Wei Lang..." Looking at the large ball of twine spun in just a few moments, Han Qiuyun's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

During the Han dynasty, men farmed, hunted, bought and sold, and served in the military, occupying the dominant position in the family.

Women are in a disadvantaged position. Apart from giving birth, their only source of income is spinning threads in their spare time.

With this new pedal-operated spinning wheel, Han Qiuyun can work as much as other women for three days in one day. In this way, she can make money three times as fast as others.

"Brother, Xiao'e also wants to..." Wei Xiao'e stood on tiptoe and looked at Han Qiuyun's flexible figure with envy. She also wanted to go up and give it a try, but she was too short and couldn't reach the pedal no matter how hard she reached it.

.

Wei Shi touched Wei Xiao'e's head and said with a smile: "Xiao'e is still young. When you grow up, brother will make you a better and faster spinning wheel."

Han Qiuyun was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

Wei Shi originally wanted to use the spinning wheel to win her favor, and then find a more consensual relationship, but when it got daybreak, Han Qiuyun didn't stop.

This woman, with her career ambitions, forgets about the man next to her.

Wei Shi decided that after finding a chance to be alone, he would teach Han Qiuyun a lesson so that she could understand what the true harmony between Qin and Se was.

From this day on, the Wei family, which had always been left out, suddenly became lively.

The women in the village liked to gossip. After hearing about Han Qiuyun's new spinning wheel, they all found excuses to visit.

When they saw with their own eyes that the new spinning wheel was indeed several times faster than the original one, these village women fell into madness and begged Wei Shi to make one for them one by one.

Of course Wei Shi would not agree.

If you do it for Han Qiuyun, it will keep the wealth from flowing to outsiders.

If you do it for other village women, you won't get much benefit, and it will also arouse the collective hostility of the men in the village.

With the help of the new spinning wheel, Han Qiuyun was full of energy, and the bad luck of being outnumbered in the past was swept away, and he became cheerful. Han Qiuyun gradually gained great appeal among the village women of Yushuwan.

Wei Shi was not idle during this period either.

The output of spinning yarn increased, but he found that selling it to Cai He, who collected yarn in the village, was at a loss.

In Xinye City, a new linen weaving and spinning shop has recently been opened. Judging from the sign with the character "Mi", it should be opened by the Mi family, a wealthy businessman who followed Liu Bei from Xuzhou.

The Mi family started with sea salt and became one of the richest people in Xuzhou.

With such a strong dragon crossing the river, when it comes to a small place like Xinye, other weavers have no chance of winning if they want to compete with the Mi family.

After Wei Shi saw Mi Zhu, who looked wealthy and smiling, he made up his mind to use spinning thread as a matchmaker to establish a relationship with the Mi family, and then pursue development.

With the Mi family as an export channel, Wei Shi began to purchase spinning threads in the village, and the price was 10% higher than that of Cai He, who had a monopoly on the spinning thread business.

In the past, the village women each spun their own things, had little contact with each other, and did not know the true market situation of spinning threads. Now that the Wei family is a gathering place, you and I will reveal Cai He's background.

Gradually, more and more village women began to send spinning threads to the Wei family and entrusted Wei Shi to take them to the city to sell them.

Compared to Cai He who ate human blood steamed buns, they obviously trusted Wei Shi and Han Qiuyun more.

Cai He's financial path was cut off, and he was so angry that he almost broke his teeth.

In anger, he ran to Cai Lichang and cried.

When Cai Lichang heard the complaint from his clan brother, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Wei Shi.

If a foreigner doesn't cause trouble and robs the Cai family's business, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, then what's the point of his reputation?

It's night, at Cai Guang's house.

Cai He, Cai Guang, Cai Mu and other village tyrants from the Cai family all arrived.

After some discussion, they decided to take a two-pronged approach.

Cai He and Cai's mother were responsible for persuading the women in the village, warning them not to interact with the Wei family anymore, especially not to sell spinning thread to Wei Shi, otherwise they would be expelled from Yushuwan Village.

Cai Lichang and Cai Guang were responsible for contacting the Xiangyang clan and trying to obtain an official ultimatum from General Zhennan's military advisor Cai Mao. As long as the ultimatum was obtained, Wei Shizheng could be sent to serve as a lieutenant general in the army.
