Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

Chapter 123 123. The craftsman is also panicked

Shanlin Town.

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

Blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices were busy making plows and farm tools, while also instructing masons to build new blacksmith shops;

Some of the carpenters were assigned to make the plow body of the curved shaft plow, and some of them were put into the ironwood workshop to start completing the order for Wushanbao;

Masons put in work on new homes and more.

At the same time, Luo Ning specifically allowed all the people in the town to cut down trees along the route south to Shanlin Town, north to Qingzhu Village, and Tiemulin in order to allow the people to spend this winter safely.

All branches, trunks and even leaves obtained belong to the feller, and there is no need to purchase felling rights from the lord as before.

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

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

Craftsman Dan followed Luo Ning, walking through the outer castle of Shanlin Castle, not knowing where Luo Ning was taking him.

But it's not important. He studied the bellows yesterday. Although the structure is simple, it is very exquisite in design. He is becoming more and more curious about Luo Ning. This young nobleman has great ideas!

"Those are gadgets."

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

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

Luo Ning turned around and looked at the other person, emphasizing: "If you can really create it, it would not be an exaggeration for outsiders to call you a great craftsman."

Dan was completely attracted by the sound of "Master Craftsman". He had nothing to pursue in his life, only this.

Hearing Luo Ning speak so powerfully, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and wanted to know what Luo Ning needed him to do.

However, he behaved quite calmly and was not impatient.

"Sir, please don't be so polite to me. Like those craftsmen, I come to Shanlin Town to serve you. If you have any arrangements, please tell me. If you have any requests, please just ask me. I will definitely Do your best!”

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

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

Three tailor apprentices from Wushan City were arranged here.

"Lord, you are here!"

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

Although the mother and son were very worried about Luo Ning's attitude at the beginning, they lived worriedly every day. But since the last time Tom came back from Wuma City and was arranged to become a full-time official, the worries of their mother and son have completely turned into respect and gratitude for the lord.

So Leah was very serious about the things that Luo Ning had told her.

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

When Luo Ning left Shanlin Town for Wushanbao last month, he gave Leah a hand spinning wheel and several large baskets of silkworm 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 Dan to follow.

When she came into the house, Leah took out several dozen silk threads that had been reeled, "Sir, this is the silk thread made according to the method you provided."

"This is?"

Craftsman Dahn's eyes widened as he looked at the large circle of silk thread that Luo Ning took in his hand in disbelief.

"Is this wool thread?"

He subconsciously thought it, but quickly shook his head, "No, this is not wool! Wool is not this fine, and it cannot be so white!"

Dann looked at Luo Ning with doubtful eyes, he wanted to know the answer.

Luo Ning held the silk thread in front of his eyes and observed it carefully. After a while, he nodded, "Liya, you are indeed the most famous tailor in the town. You are meticulous and skillful. I am very satisfied with this silk thread!"

Tailoring here is not only about cutting and making clothes, but also involves in linen production, wool weaving, dyeing and other work, so Luo Ning left the silk matter to Leah.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

Holding the bundle of silk threads, Luo Ning turned to Dan, who couldn't help but stand upright, looking like he was listening carefully.

"Master Daen, this is a special kind of silk thread I discovered. Please keep it a secret for me until it is made public."

Da En was shocked, and the young lord became even more mysterious.

"Please rest assured, sir, I will never say a word to others!" Luo Ning nodded slowly, and then said the purpose of coming to see the other party.

"We currently use either heavy hammer looms or waist looms for weaving, but both of these are too inefficient for me. What I need to do now is to design a machine that can greatly improve A loom with weaving efficiency!”

what?

Dan was a little stunned. He never thought that Luo Ning came to him for this matter.

"Loom?"

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

Da En was a little confused at this time. He had no idea about this at all.

“Weaving is when vertical and horizontal threads intertwine to create fabric, whether it’s a weight loom, a waist loom, or I’m talking about a loom.”

Luo Ning began to explain, "But the cloth woven by the first two is relatively rough, especially the heavy hammer loom, and we cannot use it 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 sticks of the waist loom, and use your feet to step on the pedals to open the longitudinal lines, allowing the weaving to The workers only need to focus on crossing and tying the horizontal threads.”

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

After all, Dan was a well-known craftsman for a long time, but when he listened to Luo Ning's story, panic flashed in his eyes.

Only now did he know why Luo Ning had just said that he might become a master craftsman after making this thing.

"Sir, please forgive my clumsiness. I...I couldn't understand what you were saying for a while."

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

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

"You see, this is a pedal. The weaver only needs to step on this to realize the vertical threads staggered up and down. This is the machine reed used to pull the vertical threads. The gauze I am talking about is based on eight hundred reeds. Each time The reed passes through four threads and pulls a total of 3,200 longitudinal threads..."

This narration lasted for half a day, and in the middle of it, Mrs. Leah brought a glass of water to Luo Ning.

The more Dan listened, the more he couldn't think straight. The more he listened, the more cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Today, his brain had acquired a lot of information, and it was already beginning to swell and ache.

Fortunately, from this narration, he probably knew what the lord wanted to do.

At least he could understand the shape of the shelf.

"Sir, you are truly a genius!"

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

Luo Ning handed the parchment to the other party, "It's a pity that I can only make a rough idea. You are the one who really wants to design it."

Dan solemnly took the parchment and carefully put it in his arms, with fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.

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

Luo Ning nodded and patted the other party's shoulder solemnly, "I believe in your ability, Craftsman Dahn. I hope that Shanlin Town will have such a loom in the near future!"

Da En's heart was heavy, but he still gave a heavy hum.

Sure enough, he was right to come to Shanlin Town. He finally found his goal!

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

"It is a pleasure to serve you, my lord." Leah listened carefully.

Luo Ning said: "Although the efficiency of the waist machine is low, you can still use it to weave silk. I need you to use these silk threads to weave a scarf for me."

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

When Leah heard the previous sentence, she felt pressure. This was her first contact with silk threads, so it was difficult to control them.

When she heard the last sentence, she suddenly felt tremendous pressure.

Oh my god, she actually wants to knit a scarf for the Marquis!

"Sir, I'm worried..."

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

Lu Lansi was very kind to Luo Ning, and Luo Ning naturally couldn't go to the other party's birthday empty-handed.

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

The fur of a level four monster is also a precious material, so it would not be a loss of face to give it away.
