Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 233

After Sun Xin, Tang Long, and Zou Yuan visited Zengtou City, they couldn't help admiring that Zengtou City is really a good place.

The transportation is convenient. There are direct roads to Qingzhou, Weizhou and Laizhou in the east, Yunzhou with rich farmland in the south, and Hebei directly in the west.

Occupying such a place, it is naturally a treasure of geomantic omen, the name of Zengtou City is called the city, so naturally there is a market, and the scale of this city is very large, at least the prosperity of a county commercial street, Sun Xin Sunjiaji Compared with it, it is one level worse in size.

The population of Zengtou City exceeds 3, and it is already a prosperous county. Most of the people are farmers in their prime of life. There are [-] or [-] women and children in their families, and nearly [-] of them are All of them can become excellent labor force in the textile factory

In addition, Sun Xin and Tang Long also found water resources that are very suitable for development in Zengtou City. As long as a small dam is added to store water, it can be used as a source of power for the factory.

What Sun Xin wants to open is actually a hemp yarn factory similar to that in Sunjiazhuang, and further textile factories are not necessary these days.For the same reason, most people are used to buying hemp yarn and going home to weave cloth. The finished cloth is not affordable for ordinary people at this time.

The source of raw materials has also been proved to be no problem after inspection.Jingdong Road in the Song Dynasty is also the area in Shandong, which is a very good hemp producing area.

"The country of Qingqi, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, rich in mulberry and hemp, clothed in the world". "Its people have mixed mulberry and hemp industries, and its fields have both fish and rice."

Of course, this is because Jingdong Road in the Song Dynasty included a part of Anhui in later generations, so rice could be planted. Although rice could not be planted in the north, there was still a large amount of jute planted.It is not a problem at all to purchase large quantities of raw materials for hemp spinning given the location of Zengtou City.

After all, what makes Sun Xin most happy is the population of Zengtou City.

If you want to build a large-scale spinning mill, the water resources in Zengtou City are not guaranteed after all, but in fact, the Jenny machine in the era of the industrial revolution did not use any water conservancy at all or the steam engine was purely operated by hand. They can all be dozens of times more efficient than ordinary workers.

Although Sun Xin's remodeled Jenny machine uses a lot of water power, it also needs to use animal power to top it in the dry season, which is not a problem at all.

When Zeng Saihua and Shi Wengong accompanied Sun Xin on the inspection, Sun Xin asked Tang Long and Tu Tu to temporarily build a small experimental spinning machine by the water to show the effect to everyone.

After seeing the whirring and fast-rotating small experimental machine successfully producing output dozens of times higher than that of ordinary women, everyone in Zengtou City finally believed in Sun Xin's strength.

Hu Taigong couldn't sit still any longer, and after saying goodbye to Sun Xin and Zeng Daguan, he hurried back to Dulonggang with his hands.

He wanted to quickly talk to the other two on Dulonggang about joining forces, so that he would not be able to catch up with this lively meeting.

Mr. Zeng took several children to see the experiment of the spinning machine several times a day, and the more he watched, the happier he was. Hearing that Sun Xin's plan had been made, Mr. Zeng hurriedly took his eldest son and Shi Wengong to invite Sun New to the flower hall to discuss in detail.

Zeng Saihua deliberately dressed up beautifully, and stood at the end of the flower hall with a jingle of rings, smiling all over her face.

Grand Officer Zeng greeted Sun Xin and Tang Long and Zou Yuan into the room, saw Zeng Saihua standing in the corner of the room, frowned and said, "Don't meddle in this matter, women, you go down first."

Zeng Saihua was taken aback, "Daddy, I also participated in the previous investigation..."

"Fourth sister go down first, don't delay our business discussion."

Zeng Saihua instantly felt as if a basin of cold water had poured her head. After busying herself, she just wanted to show her abilities at home, but she didn't expect to be completely denied by Zeng Daguan with one word.

For a moment, Zeng Saihua felt that she was not valued at all at home. She stood there blushing and pale, whether she left or stayed.

She came today dressed up and wanted to show off her abilities, but in the eyes of her family, it was completely ridiculous.

Shi Wengong opened his mouth to speak, thinking about how not to offend the owner too much.

At this time, I heard: "The old owner is wrong. The fourth sister has a big task. In the future, I will rely on the fourth sister's ability to go to Song Liao Haimao."

Everyone was taken aback, but Sun Xin spoke silently.

Seeing that Sun Xin spoke up, Zeng Daguan didn't take it seriously, but after all he didn't agree with him.

So he nodded and said: "The fourth sister will sit at the bottom seat."

Zeng Saihua finally sat down again, she secretly looked at Sun Xin with a little anger in her heart, but she couldn't help but secretly warm her heart, this man would help her at the critical moment.

"Master Sun plans how high the output of this cotton mill will be in the future?"

Sun Xin did the math and reported a figure: "It can produce 600 million catties a year."

In an instant, let alone Mr. Zeng, even Shi Wengong and Zeng Saihua, who had visited Sun Xin's Sun Ji Spinning Mill before, felt unbelievable.

This figure is indeed astonishing. 600 million catties of hemp yarn are enough to weave 20 bolts of cloth.

You must know that the total amount of tax cloth collected by the imperial court from the entire Hedong Road last year was only 11 pieces.

In the Song Dynasty, the cloth tax collected by the court could basically reach the level of a tithe, which means that in this era, the annual cloth output of the entire Jingdong Road was only around one million pieces.

Sun Xin said that the annual output of the spinning mill he has set up in Zengtou City is enough to weave 20 pieces of cloth, which is unbelievable when you think about it.

But in Sun Xin's view, 20 pieces of cloth is already a very conservative calculation.

In his previous life, Shandong was also considered a large textile province in the north. Although Sun Xin was not the owner of a textile factory, he also learned about the output of several local textile factories in his previous life when he listened to the government report.

The large textile households that can be counted in the scale of profits and taxes, in the previous life, had an annual output of hundreds of millions of meters, which was converted into more than 400 million pieces of cloth. The cloth spun by a city-level textile factory may be worth half of the Song Dynasty. annual output.

So the figure of 20 horses really has no impact in Sun Xin's eyes.

In fact, based on the scale of a large textile factory in Zengtou City, which is expected to employ several thousand people, it is not radical at all to produce only 600 million catties of hemp yarn a year.

Now the running textile mill in Sun Xin's Sunjiazhuang can produce more than 600 catties of hemp yarn every day, and the annual yarn production has reached 30 catties.

He is also building three other textile factories in Dengzhou. Although none of them can be as competitive as Zengtou City, the planned production of hemp yarn under his control in Dengzhou alone is expected to be all this year. To reach a scale of more than 100 million catties, it is really not too exaggerated to calculate the 600 million catties of hemp yarn mills in Zengtou City.

"The linen yarn produced in the future will have to rely on the ability of the fourth sister to sell."

Sun Xin said with a smile that he was not lying. The future production of hemp yarn controlled by his consortium will reach a scale of 800 million catties, which will definitely greatly impact the entire market.
