Water Margin farming to become powerful

"Zhu Ying, who do you think can be used in this observation group?"

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "I think that Huang Tang looks good. When we were talking today, his eyes rolled, and he seemed to be able to listen."

Hearing this, Kong Cheng quickly asked his dealer to bring Huang Tang's information, looked at it carefully for a long time, nodded and said:
"This person has studied for a few days, but because he is not used to the situation in the officialdom, he has no intention of going back to his hometown for the imperial examination. He probably can really listen to our words."

Fang Liang, who was on the side, also took over the information and glanced at it, carefully looked at the final conclusion, and said with a smile: "This fellow has a nickname of an idiot in the village, it must be because he has sympathy for our theory. Why."

While several people were talking, a soldier from the Protection Army came in and said a few words in Fang Liang's ear. We sent servants to inform Huang Tang, telling them not to go back quickly, Huang Tang has already made a request to us just now."

Zhu Biao asked, "But do you know why?"

Fang Liang took a look at the message, and said with a smile: "Old Xu's people saw the officials go into their village, and they requisitioned the boats and didn't pay them. Most likely they want to extort their autumn grain for this year. They must make excuses for us The guards detained him and asked for money, so he can negotiate with the imperial court and reduce this year's tax revenue a bit."

Hearing that everyone frowned instantly, Kong Cheng laughed out loud "Hey" and said, "Give us the protection army the blame, we are not the group that does this kind of thing."

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he thought about it: "At this time, Huang Tang can really win, and tomorrow I will focus on his work."

"I'm going to ask someone to collect information."

The next day, as soon as Huang Tang and the others got up, the guards came to tell them to wash up quickly.

"The tour group will leave later, and today we are going to see the small textile factory that the Supervisory Committee has just established in Sizhou."

Huang Tang and the others didn't know how big the textile factory was, but there were only a few hundred people in this village, and it was impossible to build a textile factory to accommodate many people.

In short, I saw the fields yesterday, and today I just listened to other people's arrangements.

After eating some dry food casually, Zhu Biao and others were already waiting for them outside the station all the way out of the station.

Yesterday, after knowing how powerful the Supervisory Board was, these landlords saw Zhu Biao with much richer expressions on their faces than before, and many people even greeted Zhu Biao flatteringly.

After smiling and asking everyone if they had a good sleep yesterday, Zhu Biao let everyone get on the boat together. The boat drove forward slowly, and soon came to a townhouse with a large factory built.

When everyone saw this house, they felt that the environment was brighter, and it was more tidy than the village they saw yesterday. When everyone disembarked at the port here, they could see a slightly larger port for shipping on the other side of the port. There were many boatmen on the port. Cloth, all those cloths are packed very neatly.

Sizhou originally did not produce linen, but with the large-scale export of yarn in Shandong in the past two years, many people in Sizhou and other places also bought cheap yarn and spun it into cloth at home, and then sold it to earn a profit.

There are also many farmers in various landlords’ homes who call women to spin and weave, so everyone didn’t think much about this textile factory when they first saw it, but when they entered the textile factory with the staff and saw the neat spinning machine At that time, everyone was stunned.

"Is this the Hangzhou Loom?"

A landlord asked in surprise, and the staff of the textile factory nodded proudly.

The main function of the jenny loom promoted by Sun Xin in Shandong is to weave yarn, but weaving yarn into cloth still requires the use of looms.

Sun Xin didn't know how to make this thing, so in the past four or five years, Shandong has mainly produced yarn, and this loom was imported from Hangzhou by people from the Industrial Department after the establishment of Supervisory University. back product.

The looms in Hangzhou have been very developed in this era, and there are even professional jacquard machines, which can directly weave high-grade cloth with different patterns on both sides.

The industrial department of Dengzhou Supervisory University's improved textile machine is not in the direction of exquisiteness, but in pursuit of the lowest cost and the fastest weaving of cheap cloth, which can consume the excess hemp yarn produced in various parts of Shandong.

Therefore, the fabric precision of these looms is not high, but the weaving efficiency is indeed much higher than the original machines in Hangzhou.

This is also due to the powerful metallurgical technology of Dengzhou. The current supervisory committee has mastered the precision equipment manufacturing capacity that is almost an order of magnitude higher than that of this era. It has replaced all the wooden mechanical parts of the original Hangzhou loom with metal. The improvement of lubricating oil and so on directly makes this kind of machinery light and compact.

When a few people use a large loom together, the speed of weaving is much faster than that of ordinary looms, and it is a world of one day to weave with the women of the farmers' families.

Moreover, this kind of textile machine does not need too much power, and it can be directly powered by human power.

And when the landlords saw the loom quickly producing cloth, their eyes widened with disbelief.

The person in charge smiled and introduced the income of the spinning mill after its establishment.

The cloth output of the Sizhou Supervisory Committee General Assembly is not too high, and the market is good, mainly because Dutou has the advantage of water transportation.

The Supervisory Committee found a relationship for the farmers to sell the cloth produced to the government. The main purpose was to supplement the taxes that the government had not collected.

Of course, the price is much lower than selling directly on the market, but because the production cost is also very low, the profit is quite good.

And it was even more surprising to hear it in the ears of these landlords.

"Based on this, don't these women earn more money than their husbands?"

All the female workers in the textile factory were still sullenly pretending to be concentrating on their work, but when they looked up and saw the surprised eyes of these men, some people finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then the whole textile factory was full of people. Woman covering her mouth and smiling.

These women were born as uneducated fishermen. They were originally more aggressive than peasant women. After entering the textile factory, they had their own income and their personalities became more cheerful.

They laughed and joked in front of the men, which made many young landlords' nephews in the visiting group shy. Amidst the laughter of the women, these people were led out of the factory workshop by the staff of the textile factory with a smile.

All the landlord's nephews were quite embarrassed.
