Chapter 533 Lin Che’s new invention: washing machine immediately. The imperial court issued an imperial edict requiring everyone to work together to improve the pH of the soil in certain areas of the north. To this end, Zhu Yuanzhang vigorously promoted land improvement measures, hoping to improve the fertility and stability of the land. At the same time, he also ordered the establishment of a specialized agricultural research institute. Lin Che also began to solve other problems, such as strengthening border defense, rectifying the bureaucracy, etc. He encouraged officials from various places to be honest and honest, and at the same time accelerated the speed of decision-making. He went deep into the people to understand the sufferings and needs of the people, and took measures to alleviate their sufferings. burden. Lin Che also paid attention to the development of education. He advocated universal education and provided more opportunities for the people in the audience. He also supported the development of science and technology and encouraged practices in various places to solve practical problems. The imperial court issued a series of policy reforms and listened extensively to Lin Che's suggestions. For a time, the overall atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty took on a new look, and the people were full of expectations and hopes for the country's future. After going to court, Lin Che took a leisurely stroll in the palace. Unknowingly, Lin Che came to the Clothing Bureau. He looked at the scene of the palace ladies working, and a new thought came to his heart. He suddenly realized that washing clothes was a very laborious activity in this era. In this busy and noble palace, the maids needed to wash a large amount of clothes and textiles every day, which consumed a lot of manpower and time. Lin Che glanced at Seeing how the palace maids were vigorously stirring the clothes, he decided to invent a simple version of the washing machine to reduce the labor burden on the palace maids. As soon as she thought of it, she acted, and Lin Che immediately started to implement it. Recording every movement and force, he mentally determined the key steps of the laundry process: soaking, rubbing, rinsing and spinning. Lin Che decided to start with these four steps and develop a washing machine that could be completed automatically.

Lin Che found Liu Yun, who was in charge of the palace, and told him her thoughts. "Sir, your idea is very good. I will arrange for people to go to various places to collect information. I will discuss this issue with you in detail later and provide you with a comprehensive development plan." Lin Che looked at Liu Yun with gratitude. He believed that through his unremitting efforts, he would be able to bring more benefits to the Ming Dynasty. Soon, Liu Yun Shoujie received some information about the washing machine. Lin Che took Liu Yun and a group of craftsmen and experts to carefully study, experiment and improve the operation of the washing machine. A few months later, Lin Che and these craftsmen brought an improved prototype of a simple washing machine and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang. In the court hall, all the officials and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the big box that Lin Che brought in with surprised expressions. Their eyes were full of curiosity and confusion. This strange appearance made it difficult for them to imagine what it could be. "Your Majesty, this is the latest machine invented by Mr. Lin." A bold craftsman knelt down and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang. "Machine? What is a machine?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, completely unfamiliar with this word. Lin Che quickly explained: "A machine is a device used to complete a specific job. Your Majesty can regard it as an extension of human power." In the eyes of the courtiers, this so-called 'machine' looked like a huge wooden box with a thick lever and thick wooden boards under the four feet. It was difficult to understand what was so incredible about this design. function. Lin Che smiled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and the courtiers: "Your Majesty, this is the washing machine I invented. It can put dirty clothes in and then wash them through a series of actions and principles." "Wash your clothes?" Everyone whispered to each other and looked towards the center of the hall. Zhu Yuanzhang also looked confused. He seemed to want to understand this novel invention. He stroked his chin and soon discovered that except for the clean clothes they were transported from the laundry room every day, he seemed to know nothing about the washing process of clothes. . "Can you explain it to us in more detail?" Zhu Yuanzhang gradually became interested in this novel washing machine. Lin Che happily began to explain: "Your Majesty, the washing machine uses a dumpling or turbine component to fully soak the clothes in the water, and then separates the clothes from the water through a rotating motion, thereby achieving the purpose of washing." "Is it possible that just throwing the clothes in and spinning them for a while will make them look brand new?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes revealed his expectations for this wonderful device. "Your Majesty, the turbine of the washing machine cannot handle a large amount of clothes at the same time. Different clothes have different washing methods. We need to adjust the washing time and intensity according to different types of clothes and the severity of stains." Everyone looked at each other with endless questions in their minds. From ancient times to the present, washing clothes has always been done by hand, but now such a magical machine suddenly appeared. It is really hard to accept. "Will this machine ruin the clothes?" an official couldn't help but asked. Lin Che quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the washing machine will control the washing intensity through specific adjustments, which will not cause damage to the clothes. Moreover, we can design different washing programs for different types of clothes to ensure the safety of the clothes."

The courtiers all cast envious glances at Lin Che, and at the same time felt a hint of regret. If they had known that Lin Che was so smart, why didn't they support him strongly from the early years. ? Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered, thinking about the impact of this innovative invention on the country and the people. "Mr. Lin, can your invention help solve the problem of clothes washing and improve efficiency?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked. Lin Che nodded excitedly: "Your Majesty, the emergence of washing machines will greatly improve the washing efficiency of clothes and reduce people's labor burden. Whether it is the laundry room inside or outside the palace, or the homes of ordinary people, everyone can benefit from this invention." Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the washing machine, observed it carefully, and admired Lin Che and Liu Yunhe's craftsmen. "Mr. Lin, your invention is really amazing. You and the craftsmen have made great contributions to the development of the country. This washing machine can not only free the hands of the palace maids and improve work efficiency, but also allow women in the private sector to Freed from heavy labor, I immediately issued an order to put it into production immediately so that people across the country can benefit from this machine. " A moment later, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the awards to Lin Che and his craftsmen, and spoke highly of their contributions. Zhu Yuanzhang and the courtiers gathered together to accept Lin Che's explanation of the principles of a washing machine. They were deeply attracted by this advanced machine and were full of curiosity about how to operate this magical washing machine. (End of this chapter)
