Chengqian Palace is located on the east side of Kunning Palace, south of Zhongcui Palace, and north of Jingren Palace. It was originally the head of the Six East Palaces. However, at this time, all the living things inside were evacuated and replaced with ten Two sets of textile installations.
Ma Enhui's idea is very simple. The Chengqian Palace is close to the residences of Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning. He is not far away from it. It is convenient for management. Once the research on medical gauze makes progress, he can keep track of it at any time.
The value and significance of medical gauze are clear to all participants.
These selected textile experts all came from various bureaus and bureaus in the palace, mainly the needlework bureau, the inner weaving and dyeing bureau, and the clothing bureau, etc., supplemented by the clothing bureau, the needle and hat bureau, etc.
Once this is successful, for oneself, one can receive generous rewards, for the harem, there will be another way to make a living, and for the country, it will benefit the army and the people, and benefit the country.
Even the arrogant Concubine Ning personally participated in it. Concubine Xian was not to be outdone. When she woke up every day, she would enter the Chengqian Palace to discuss how to improve the techniques with a palace maid. She even stayed up all night to study on some nights.
For the harem, there are no process problems in producing ordinary gauze, but what Zhu Yunwen wants is medical gauze, which needs to be light, breathable, moderately soft, and not lint-free.
If it is soft, light, and breathable, it will easily shed lint. If you don’t want to lose lint, you can only increase the warp and weft density. However, increasing the density will lead to insufficient ventilation...
This is almost an unsolvable problem.
Ma Enhui is also very anxious. She started researching it in mid-November last year and has changed it to Yuan Jianwen, but there is still no results.
Hearing that Zhu Yunwen wanted to take a look, Ma Enhui said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid the emperor will be disappointed."
Zhu Yunwen took Ma Enhui's hand, walked out of Kunning Palace, walked towards Chengqian Palace, and said: "It's not so easy to succeed in doing something new. Give them some time, and there will always be a way."
Ma Enhui wanted to let go of Zhu Yunwen's hand, but was held tightly again. She couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunwen with a blushing face, and said softly: "The palace maids and eunuchs are all here."
"so what?"
Zhu Yunwen said domineeringly.
Ma Enhui couldn't break free, so she could only blush and asked: "The emperor's words are absolutely feasible. But I have read through the classics and asked the imperial doctor, but I have never seen medical gauze. I wonder why the emperor is so sure?"
Zhu Yunwen raised his head and glanced at the sky, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said: "The Queen also knows that wrapping wounds with cloth can help stop bleeding. If the cloth itself is not clean, it will cause the wound to suppurate. Even if the cloth is clean, it will not be able to heal when it is dismantled. It will also stick to the scar, causing secondary wounds, or it may remain in the skin, making it difficult to stop the pain, and the wound still needs to be opened to remove the debris."
"If we change our mind and weave gauze that is clean, breathable, and does not shed cotton, it will naturally help the wound recovery, and dismantling the gauze will not cause any harm. Is there anything strange about such a simple truth? "
Ma Enhui frowned and asked, "I just doubt whether it can be woven."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and asked: "Then Queen, tell me first, is my idea right?"
"Of course that's right."
Ma Enhui said affirmatively.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "Since it is right, then just go ahead and do it. There will be nothing wrong, right? I believe it will succeed, and the Queen should also have this confidence."
Ma Enhui nodded thoughtfully.
Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui entered the Chengqian Palace, and all the palace maids put down their servants and knelt on the ground. After hearing the commotion, Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian also hurriedly walked out of the hall, walked up to them, and saluted and said hello.
"Get up, Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian, please introduce the situation to me." Zhu Yunwen raised his hand, looked at the two tired people, and sighed: "Thank you for your hard work."
Concubine Ning smiled and said: "Hard work is nothing. I just think that if this thing is done, it will be more interesting than wasting time."
Wasted years?
This Concubine Ning is interesting. She blames herself for never going to Zhongcui Palace.
Zhu Yunwen pretended not to hear, and looked at Concubine Xian, who was leading the way, and said: "Your Majesty, Queen, although we have been weaving day and night, we can never meet the standards set by the Emperor. Look at this piece of cloth."
The maid on the side handed Concubine Xian a piece of fabric. Concubine Xian passed it to Zhu Yunwen and said, "This fabric was woven early this morning. It is light and breathable, but the cotton is not enough and the warp and weft are not dense. If you tear it with a little force, it will break. Chen I plan to put a layer of fine gauze on top of this to try."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the two halves of fabric, handed one half to Ma Enhui, nodded slightly, and said: "You can try more methods, this is not urgent, let's just rest for two days, and then do research after two days. "
"Rest? Your Majesty, we are not tired."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we can continue."
Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian and others said one after another.
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "You can achieve success by combining work and rest. I want you to take two days of rest to keep yourself healthy and energetic to do this work. Besides, tomorrow is the National Day, and there will be a celebration in the palace. Come up with it." Those who want to go shopping in the palace go shopping, and those who want to bask in the imperial garden can go bask in the sun. In short, no one is allowed to come to Chengqian Palace for these two days."
After everyone heard this, they saluted again and then left with some reluctance.
Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian looked at Zhu Yunwen who was stroking the loom, and then looked at Queen Ma, wondering what Zhu Yunwen was thinking.
Wouldn't it be better if it was developed as early as possible?
At this time, wasting time is wasting life.
"Success will definitely succeed. I absolutely believe in you. However, we are all human beings and cannot be too tired. Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian have not rested for a few days, right? If this continues, the medical gauze will not succeed. You first It fell, what should I do?"
Zhu Yunwen patted the wooden shelf and explained.
Seeing this, Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian felt a little warmer in their hearts.
The emperor cares about himself.
After returning to Kunning Palace, Zhu Yunwen suggested to Ma Enhui: "I think there are still some vacant rooms in Chengqian Palace. It is better to recruit some more people to participate. Even if there are people in the art troupe who are good at spinning and spinning, they can also participate."
Consulting the masses and drawing wisdom from them is the thinking of Marxist-Leninist philosophy.
We must believe in the inventions and creations of the masses, and their infinite wisdom. They are the ones who are exerting their strength in this heavy vehicle of history, crushing the ruts step by step, leaving behind countless civilizations.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't promote Marxism-Leninism, but he could use Marxism-Leninism's ideas as guidance. Didn't the ancients also advocate that when everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise? Since this fire is going to be bigger, it is natural to get more people to collect firewood together.
Ma Enhui was convinced. On the same day, he ordered people to select 36 textile experts from the Huanyi Bureau, the Art Troupe, etc., and ordered them to go to Chengqian Palace on the 6th to listen.
The fourth day of the first lunar month.
Ming Dynasty ushered in its first National Day, and the capital was jubilant.
Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui went out of the palace to enjoy the National Day and the New Year with the people. For a time, literati wrote, citizens drummed, merchants drank, and the capital was decorated day and night.
