I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 144, The Seeds of the New World

After the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Xu Wei received a news that surprised him. He offered a reward of 10 yuan to improve the loom, and now someone has finally transformed a new type of loom.

So he came to the textile field with great interest, wanting to see what the new textile machine looks like.

During this period of time, he also recalled the improved technology of the textile machine. It seems that there is something called the flying shuttle, which can increase the textile efficiency several times. It is said that this thing and the spinning jenny promoted the first industrial revolution. It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about this, because in Xu Wei's era, the flying shuttle has been eliminated.

All he saw was that the textile machines on the news screen were all electric textile machines, and the textile machines were running as fast as lightning. He said that it was a shuttle, and it was not wrong at all.

But it is definitely impossible to manufacture an electric loom now, and Xu Wei has no such delusions. It is enough for him to manufacture a loom that is faster than the current one.
Seeing Xu Wei coming to the textile factory again, Xu Juan was surprised and said, "Shuai Qu, you came so fast. I just reported it, and you came here."

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Now your textile factory is the second most profitable factory in Mayi, how can I not care?"

"Who improved the efficiency of the loom? I even brought the bounty."

Xu Juan smiled and said, "She's still weaving, I'll show you there."

After talking, Xu Juan took Xu Wei to see the person who improved the loom.

At this time, the textile factory was many times larger than the original one, and the number of female textile workers increased more than ten times.

It is winter now, the Sanggan River is frozen, and all the hydraulic spinning machines have stopped working. Now many carpenters are repairing these hydraulic spinning machines. When the spring is warm next year, they will bloom again.

However, the work of spinning did not stop. Instead, it was changed to use a manual spinning machine, which can spin [-] spindles at the same time, although the efficiency is not as good as that of a hydraulic spinning machine.Indeed, it can be made up for in quantity.

As far as Xu Wei can see, there are hundreds of such spinning machines, and hundreds of women are busy spinning yarn here. These manual spinning machines are not as big and efficient as hydraulic spinning machines , but the only advantage is that there is no need to rely on water power, and it does not need to be close to the river, so it can occupy a smaller site and place more spinning machines.

Xu Wei looked at the busy scene and said with a smile: "There are more and more female workers in your workshop, and they are much busier than the last time I came here."

Xu Juan said with a wry smile: "The increase in looms, and the shutdown of hydraulic spinning machines and the use of manual spinning machines have added hundreds of people to the textile factory. Now tens of thousands of people are working here. I can't manage it a little bit."

If counting the female weaving workers in China, Xu Juan manages a population of tens of thousands, which is almost one-tenth of the population of Mayi.

In this era, apart from Mayi, there will never be such a large factory. Everything here is new and new, and the rules and regulations must be built and explored by themselves.

Obviously managing a factory with tens of thousands of people is a bit beyond Xu Juan's ability, otherwise she would not have said such a thing.It is also difficult for Xu Wei to mention Xu Juan himself. After all, he is just an otaku, not an executive of a large company, and he does not know how to manage a factory with tens of thousands of people.

If Xu Juan can manage well, it means that she can manage a county, and she can be regarded as a top management talent in this era.

Xu Wei said: "We have more and more textile machines in Mayi. It is impossible to concentrate all of them in one factory of yours. In the future, we will divide several factories and set up a second textile factory and a third textile factory, so that the burden on you will be lightened." some."

"If you feel that it is difficult to manage the textile factory, don't worry, you can discuss the solution with the managers, discuss it together, sum up some experience, and then promote it to the entire textile factory.

After running for a period of time, discuss with the female workers which ones are good and which ones are bad, keep the good ones and improve the bad ones, we can improve a little bit, even if we only make a little progress every day, it will be a huge improvement over time, when the time comes You won't find it difficult to manage. "

Although Xu Wei doesn’t understand management, he remembers that when he remembered the New Dynasty, everyone didn’t know how to manage the factory, so the workers and the factory manager discussed how to manage a factory. Everyone is the owner of the factory and has a strong sense of ownership. Opinions are also valid.

Later, everyone also recorded and summarized, and came up with a constitution of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., which shows that front-line workers can manage a factory well. As long as the managers obey their reasonable demands, a factory can grow and develop.

Xu Juan said as if she had found a treasure: "Shuai Qu is a good idea, I'll give it a try!"

After walking like this for a long time, the two came to the textile machine workshop, which is also the largest workshop in the textile factory, with thousands of textile machines running in it, and the two came to a textile machine.

Xu Juan said with a smile: "This is the female worker who improved the loom. Her name is Cai Qiao. She is the daughter of a carpenter's family. She is ingenious. She is not only good at weaving cloth, but also a good carpenter. Our loom is broken. , she can also help with repairs. The loom she uses is the new loom she made."

In fact, before Xu Wei's huge reward came out, she often thought about how to speed up the efficiency of weaving. After Xu Wei's reward came out, it only made her more motivated.

After thinking about it for a few months, she really came up with a solution, and the loom in front of her was improved by her.

Xu Wei looked at this Cai Qiao weaving, and found that his efficiency was several times faster than other people's weaving. It took a lot of time for other people's weaving shuttle to weave a little cloth.

But she placed the self-shuttle in the groove of the crossbar, so she didn't need to use the shuttle back and forth at all.Instead, pull the thread shuttle to quickly shuttle among the warp threads, as if flying.

Xu Wei was surprised: "Flying Shuttle?"

For a modern person like Xu Wei, Fei Shuo is something in legends, but Fei Shuo is famous, but he has only heard of it, never seen it.

Now that there are other looms for comparison, the shuttle on Cai Qiao's loom can really be called a flying shuttle.

Xu Wei stepped forward and said, "How many pieces of cloth can you weave a day now?"

Seeing Xu Wei, Cai Qiao said shyly, "Sometimes it's more than three horses, sometimes it's four horses."

Xu Wei said in surprise: "Sure enough, the efficiency has been increased by more than three times!"

Xu Wei looked at Cai Qiao and said, "Not only did you make the loom I needed, but you also exceeded my requirements. It can be said that you have made a huge contribution. Now that you have been promoted to be a master craftsman, your monthly salary will be based on the highest salary in Mayi. give.

I will also give you a bounty of 10 yuan. You tell the craftsmen in Mayi the principle of improving the loom, and all the looms in Mayi will be changed to yours in the future. "

This kind of loom is really a great invention. Mayi could produce 500 million pieces of woolen cloth every year, but my loom immediately turned over to 1 million pieces. This kind of efficiency improvement, Xu Weidi Once I was worried that the wool heels would not be able to keep up with the speed of supply.

Then Xu Wei said with a smile to Xu Juan: "Didn't you always say that the textile factory is too big to manage, Cai Qiao is a rare talent, train her well, she will be the manager of the second textile factory! "

"Cultivating new managers is not limited to Cai Qiao. Anyone who is really talented, you should vigorously promote her and train her! Mayi now has less than 3 looms, which is too few. In the future, we will have 30 looms in Mayi, 300 Thousands of looms! Textile factories will be opened all over our counties, so your place is not only a textile factory, but also a school for cultivating talents! The future managers of textile factories will all be your students."

Xu Juan was also very excited when she heard Xu Wei's grand plan: "I will not disappoint Qu Shuai, and I will definitely cultivate enough stewards!"

After Xu Wei left, the female workers in the textile factory surrounded Cai Qiao excitedly and said, "Cai Qiao, you are going to get rich, 10 yuan, how can you spend it all?"

"More than that, in the future, her monthly salary will be 1 yuan, which is ten times more than ours, and she will also be appreciated by Qu Shuai. She will also become the steward of the textile factory in the future, and she will become a senior member of our rattan armor army. Cai Qiao, you are prosperous Don't forget us good sisters."

Cai Qiao blushed at what they said and whispered, "I won't forget everyone!"

Xu Juan said: "You heard Qu Shuai's words just now. As long as you work hard, you can manage a small group of sisters well, and you may not be able to become the new factory manager. Then you don't have to envy Cai Qiao!"

The female workers around naturally heard Xu Wei's words, everyone wanted to stand out, and now they have the opportunity, of course they are willing to fight hard.

The appearance of new-style textile machines made Xu Wei very excited. New-style spinning machines and textile machines all appeared. Although the new-style steam train did not appear, he produced a low-profile version of the track carriage. Mayi is now fully Meet the requirements of the first industrial revolution.

The seeds of the new world have taken root and germinated. What Xu Wei has to do now is to protect this seedling to let it continue to grow and continue to accumulate strength. When it accumulates enough power, it can completely destroy this old world and bring a new world to life. In a brand new world, it is possible to carry out such a great cause that changes the world. This is no more fulfilling than being an emperor!
Xu Wei doesn't remember which novel it was written by, but he said that there are only four people who can truly be regarded as one emperor through the ages.

The two emperors Yan and Huang created the Chinese civilization, which can be regarded as an eternal achievement. Qin Shihuang unified the seven kingdoms and established the history of the great unification of China. This can be counted as one.

Other than that, the emperors, the sons of heaven, are just some people who have the profession of emperors, and their existence cannot bring half a bit of glory to the position of emperors.

And the career that Xu Wei is doing now may become a great career through the ages, how can this not excite him.

After visiting the textile factory.Old man Wang found Xu Wei and said, "Shuai Qu, the envoys of Marshal Zhang Yan want to see you, do you want to meet them? It's not an option to keep avoiding like this."

Xu Wei shook his head and said: "There is nothing to meet. I have said everything that needs to be said. Our plan for the next few years will continue to farm and accumulate strength. We will not go south to Bingzhou."

Just kidding, Xu Wei is a farmer. Fighting and killing affect his development the most. Isn't it good to build a few more new-style textile machines with this time?

Zhang Yan's envoys came to Mayi more than ten days ago. They were very excited to see the prosperous and lively Mayi, and the powerful and mighty army made them very excited.

So they found Xu Wei and explained Zhang Yan's plan to form an alliance with him to capture the entire north.

Wang Lei and the others were very excited when they heard that, they had long wanted to capture the entire Bingzhou, but Xu Wei said that he wanted to build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king.It's not easy for them to violate Xu Wei's strategic policy.

But now they heard that Zhang Yan occupies more than half of Jizhou, and the main force of the Han army is concentrated in Jizhou, so they think this is a godsend opportunity. Taking advantage of the main force of the Han army in Jizhou, they can take the opportunity to occupy Bingzhou.

But Xu Wei immediately refused after hearing this, because he knew that the big man would be torn apart in a few years, and now he didn't need the Tengjia army to come forward and become the target of the big man.

In the few years since he came to this world, he has already discovered the strength of the big man, not to mention the elite fighters for now.

As far as the current situation of the Han court is concerned, there are many counselors and strong generals like rain. Xu Wei found that many unknown generals had better records than the famous generals in the Three Kingdoms. Xu Wei was worried that he would stumble against the unknown generals.No wonder history books say that other dynasties died because of weakness, but the great Han died because of strength.

It really is terrifyingly strong. Even when he is at his weakest, he can beat all directions. Whether it is an internal rebellion or an external barbarian, the Eastern Han court has the strength to solve it. The shortcoming that affects the court's strength at this stage is instead Money and food are not enough.

So at this stage, Xu Wei is willing to fight the barbarians, and he is unwilling to fight against the Eastern Han court, because he is worried that he will bear the strongest attack of the Han Yuhui, and he will suffer a big loss if he fails to fight.

But Wang Dang, Zhang Yan's envoy, didn't think so. He thought that Xu Wei was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he only dared to hide in Mayi. The first communication between the two sides was very unpleasant.

Wang Dang wanted to leave at first, but remembered Zhang Yan's instructions, and thought that they were begging the Tengjia Army now, so he calmed down and planned to continue persuading Xu Wei to change his mind.

But Xu Wei was unmoved at all, so Wang Dang had no choice but to change his plan. He knew that there were many high-level officials in Mayi who were former commanders of the Yellow Turban Army.

Wang Dang often contacted Qu Shuai of the Yellow Turban Army.Let them help persuade Xu Wei, change the strategy of the Tengjia Army, and invade Bingzhou southward.

Although Qu Shuai of the Yellow Turban Army met Wang Dang, when he heard that Wang Dang wanted to let the Tengjia Army go south to Bingzhou, they all shook their heads and refused to help.

Because Xu Wei introduced to them that the strategic plan of the Tengjia Army in the next few years is to continue to develop the entire counties and counties around Mayi. There is no plan to fight. , I'm afraid I won't have to hang out in Mayi in the future.
