Chapter 633: [Cotton Seed Deletion]

...

Master Lu is still dressed in the same clothes, wearing a blue seventh-grade official dress.

Next to him, there was a wooden thing, like a round barrel. As Master Lu's hand shaking, the round barrel inside seemed to be rotating.

But this is far away, I don’t know what is inside.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Master Lu turned his head and saw Li Chengqian and Duan Lun coming back, and quickly saluted.

Li Chengqian waved his hand.

The person Duan Lun said that he had come up with a solution didn't tell him just now that he could not have thought of Master Lu's idea now, right?

He looked at Duan Lun, and Duan Lun said, "Your Highness, since you ordered me to find the person who took off seeds. After learning about it, Carpenter Lu devoted himself to researching it. Finally, he came up with this method today. After testing by Carpenter Lun, he was able to separate the cotton and cotton seeds!"

"Okay, Master Lu is really smart!" Li Chengqian praised, "I wonder how you did this to remove seeds?"

Master Lu said: "Your Highness, this is not done by me alone. It depends on Brother Zhang's blacksmith, so Lu had to make this seed-removing bucket!"

While talking, a voice sounded outside: "Give it, let it go!"

Hearing this, many people outside gave in.

Li Chengqian heard the voice seemed to be coming here. When he turned around, he saw two buckets moving towards this side. It was obvious that someone was holding the bucket and was about to come in.

He quickly moved away.

The one who came in was Zhang Blacksmith. After he put down the bucket, he saw Li Chengqian and quickly saluted.

Li Chengqian responded and asked, "These two barrels are the same?"

"Oh, your highness is talking about these seed-removing buckets? Yes, they are all the same as the buckets that Brother Lu brought before, but they are afraid that one is not enough, so they processed and created two. At the speed of three barrels, they can take off the seeds of the white bunch in half a day!" Zhang Jiangjiang said.

Li Chengqian asked: "What is the principle of action? Tell me about it!"

Under the explanation and demonstration of Master Lu and Zhang Blacksmith, Li Chengqian understood the principle of this seed-removing barrel.

This is a small rotatable cylindrical barrel inside a wooden barrel. There are serrated sides around the outside of this small barrel.

The large wooden barrels are divided into two sides and are separated by wooden boards.

While putting seed cotton, it was empty. The bucket on the other side of the bucket with seed cotton was close to the small wooden barrel. A net-shaped iron piece was made.

When working, a person turns a small wooden barrel. When his feet are turning, he can pick up a handful of cotton and put it into a large wooden barrel. Then he sticks it on the mesh iron sheet. At this time, the cotton that pokes out of the head from the mesh is bitten away by the saw teeth of the small wooden barrel. The mesh is smaller than the cotton seeds, so the cotton seeds cannot pass through. So when the cotton in his hand is almost bitten, only the seeds are left!

After the small wooden barrel bit off the cotton here, the empty wooden barrels here suddenly took in the sawtooths. The cotton was blocked by the wooden boards and fell outside the large wooden barrel.

This is strange. Why does the small wooden barrel stick out to bite the cotton when it turns to the cotton, and when it reaches the other side, it will shrink and spit out the cotton?

He took another wooden barrel that had not been used yet and took a look.

Inside the small wooden barrel, there was a serrated iron cylinder. It was not coaxial with the small wooden barrel, but was close to the side of the mesh iron sheet, so when it rotated, the side close to the mesh would extend the sawtooth and it would be collected when it reached the other side.

Master Lu operated the seed-removing barrel alone, and within a short while, he produced a small handful of seedless cotton.

Li Chengqian picked it up and looked at it, but he did not carry any seeds!

He praised, "Okay. So smart!"

He looked at Duan Lun and said, "Give the reward you promised to two craftsmen! From now on, we will use this seed-removing barrel to remove the seeds of cotton!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Master Lu and Zhang Blacksmith said. Master Lu said at this time: "Your Highness, this seed-removing bucket has many shortcomings. For example, this cotton can remove seeds, but it will leave a lot of cotton residues in the seeds, and it is impossible to clean them all. I will study it more carefully in the future and study the seed-removing bucket more carefully in order to remove seeds more cleanly!"

"Okay, if you have this intention, it is worth rewarding. I hope you can continue to work hard in the future and invent the seed-removing barrel better!" Li Chengqian said to them.

The method to remove seeds was found. The next step was to spin the cotton into thread, then make it into cloth, and then make it into clothes. Let’s see how the quality of the clothes are. Once the clothes come out, Lao Li can promote cotton planting.

Li Chengqian didn't know about the technique of cotton spinning.

But he didn't have to worry about this. The Tang Dynasty already had mature technology in this area, so Duan Lun asked someone to start construction that day.

A few days later, Li Chengqian received the clothes sent by Duan Lun, which were indeed made of cotton!

100% cotton!

Li Chengqian touched it, it was really good.

Now that the clothes were out, Li Chengqian discussed with Duan Lun, and then after he was ready, he took the clothes to meet Lao Li.

Lao Li touched the clothes sent by Li Chengqian, listened to Li Chengqian cooperating with Duan Lun below, introducing the drought-resistant and easy-to-plant cotton, which does not occupy the advantages of planting fertile fields, and the quality advantages of making cotton into clothes. If cotton is promoted, it will be able to solve the clothing problems of the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing and quilt are ranked first among people’s needs, which shows the importance of clothing to people.

When Lao Li heard that his son had new fabrics, he took it seriously.

When he touched the clothes, he actually went to see them twice a year. Before going to see them this year, he was told that the cotton that had been picked by Li Chengqian had been picked. He never thought that the cotton, which was originally called white folds, could be made into such a good clothes.

After Li Chengqian and Duan Lun finished speaking, Old Li smiled and first praised Li Chengqian and Duan Lun. During the praise, he affirmed the value of Li Chengqian and Duan Lun's cotton clothes, and then said: "About cotton promotion and planting, I will immediately notify the ministers of the three provinces to discuss and make every effort to promote this matter, and Chengqian and his beloved will carry out this matter!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the two saluted, they left space for Lao Li, and he and the ministers discussed it!

Li Chengqian waited for two days, but did not see Duan Lun coming to him for information about this matter, nor did he tell him about the cotton promotion plan, which made Li Chengqian curious.

He didn't go to the Ministry of Works to find Duan Lu. Recently, Master Lu has been making the seed-removing bucket in the Ministry of Works?

Although most of the cotton has been deseeded, a small part of the cotton is left for Master Lu and his two experiments. Just ask Master Lu for information!
