Villager of Daming

Chapter 764 Technology changes and looking for the past
While everyone was eating and chatting, the head of the village said that the village was responsible for the business and Zhu Ping was in charge, and the village only reconciled the accounts once a month.

Zhu Fang talked about his own side. Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xi helped the second brother with the accounts, and Zai Jubiqi sat in to help supplement the situation.

Zhu Biao also has something to do. The industrial zone has been handed over to him. His brothers can handle accounts and run the business. How can the prince not do it?
Zhu Biao not only participated in this matter, but also had to correct the question book together, which was a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't check the accounts at all for what their brothers did. The money earned this year, foreign trade, yes, the accounts of the Shipping Department were always handled by Empress Ma and Concubine Sun.

Queen Ma was in charge of logistics during the war, and she managed it with ease. She was the one who called Concubine Sun.

There is also the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess must know it. One day in the future, she will teach it to her daughter-in-law.

Including how to audit accounts, the village did not pass on this series of audit methods to the minister.

Wait until you see something is wrong, conduct an audit and review, and then take it out.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma listened happily. Each of the children was able to take charge of their own business. It turned out that the children who were most worried were the second, third, fourth and so on.

To put it bluntly, there are three, because the location of the fiefdom is special, Xi'an in Shaanxi, Taiyuan in Shanxi, and Beiping in Yuanzhongdu.

These three positions are on a line to the north. When they were given the title of king, they were planned to fight Bei Yuan on behalf of their elder brother.

As a result, Beiyuan was stunned because of the weapons from Xiaqiu Village and the logistical supplies made with the money earned from the palace. The famous general Wang Baobao even lay down on that rainy day.

At present, the weapons of the Ming Dynasty are being upgraded. Fire blunderbuss are no longer needed, flintlock guns are no longer made, and they are replaced by rifled guns with paper shells that can be loaded later. In addition, more wheels are being made for close-range continuous attacks.

It seems that Xiaqiu Village now has another type of gun, which they have already equipped.

When it rained continuously, all the previous guns and bullets were useless, but the one in Xiaqiu Village was no problem.

"Yi Chang! There are a lot of things to do after the New Year. Please compile a question book and roughly... just do what I said before."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally told the main purpose of his coming. He had talked about many aspects of the situation before.

A general program is needed. After it is presented, the ministers can take a look at it and implement it accordingly.

It was the twelfth lunar month, and Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the head of the village would not be able to sort things out, so he told him in advance to give him time.

The question book is guaranteed to be a thick booklet, containing various arguments. If there is anything that is not well thought out, it will be corrected.

Li Chang's eyes were red, he put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "The common people know this and will definitely not delay state affairs."

Zhu Wentian glanced at it and understood that it was the village chief who had moved him, and he promised to cry during this year's ancestor worship.

This is a national policy for the Ming Dynasty!You have to complain with the same vigor that made your ancestors cry from their coffins, alas!Tired!
"Very good! Very good! You win!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were also red.

So everyone drank a glass of beer and continued to tear into the grilled chicken rack.

"Your Majesty, we have just drawn a blueprint of an industrial machine that can be used to knit sweaters instead of people. We can make one in an hour. Let's go and get it."

The commander remembered something. When Hanhan was taking a bath, he started to draw according to the drawings, which just made His Majesty happy.

"Okay!" During the day, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that it would take three to five days for a woman to wear a sweater. Just one sweater this hour?
The chief ran away, and soon came back and presented the drawings.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a look and said: "We don't understand. We only know that one machine is worth forty or fifty skilled people. Is this true?"

"Your Majesty, you need to train a person if you find one, and children cannot do it. This machine can be built casually. The more you build, the more sweaters you will knit. A person can watch more than a dozen machines at the same time. The main reason is to worry about the wool breaking. Wiring required.

If wool could be purchased from outside and brought to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could also produce washing and dyeing machines and spin a large number of sweaters, trousers and other products.

Not only sweaters, but also woolen clothes. We can also produce that equipment, which is best used in the north in winter.

The way to clean it is to bury it with snow in winter, then stand it on the ground and beat it with a stick. It will be clean in one stroke. "

Li Chang is now learning and applying it. He actually doesn't know what the weaving technology of woolen clothes represents.

Zhu Yuanzhang also didn't know the meaning of technical representation, and he didn't need to know. Anyway, Xiaqiu Village said it would work and guaranteed it would work.

"Yichang, according to this, can it be made of cotton, hemp, etc.? Transport the raw materials here, we will process them and sell them back at a higher price to make the difference in price."

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was still bright, and he instantly thought of the technological advantages. The equipment stockholders by the Luoshui River were collecting cotton everywhere!
The chief nodded vigorously: "Yes! We have this technology, but we are generally afraid of impacting people's livelihood."

"I know! From now on, our Shipping Department will ask the barbarians to see if they want it. This technique is too bullying."

Zhu Yuanzhang once again admitted the power of technology. It is not as good as a piece of equipment for one day if others work exhaustingly for a month.

There are a number of key people, and the equipment can be produced at any time. How many years does it take to raise a person from an early age to a person who can work?How long does it take to build a device?
Moreover, the equipment does not need to provide meals every day, nor does it provide wages.

If a piece of equipment costs 120 pieces, it is equivalent to a woman’s salary and benefits for one hundred months combined.

One day can equal the output of a woman in a month, and the capital will be recovered in a hundred days, and the rest is earned.

Just like steam engine plows and harvesters, someone needs to pick it up when harvesting, but plowing and raking do not require anyone to participate.

"Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, technology has been changing, like the plows used. In the beginning, there were no plows. People just planted them on the ground, and then they used tools to plow them. Then, wooden plows, stone plows, and bronze plows appeared.

The plow has changed from a straight-shaft plow to a curved-shaft plow, from two oxen carrying the bar to one ox pulling the plow. The improvement of technology is an eternal law, and it is not terrible.

The scary thing is the human heart. When technology changes, many industrial structures will change accordingly, in order to pursue greater residual value.

If we manage policies and laws well, provide guidance and restrictions, everything else will be easy to handle.Of course, official governance is the most critical. "

The mayor introduced the historical changes of things used in farming to prove that technology has been advancing.

Didn’t Xiaqiu Village have the technology? Then the fire blunderbuss was made by Xiaqiu Village?Is it good that Xiaqiu Village makes flintlock guns?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! The right or wrong of things depends on the person, not the skill. Let's find someone to ask the barbarians. If it works, we will help process it and make money from it. If you want to make more, they won't."

In fact, it’s a good deal to be half cheaper than them. If we don’t look at transportation costs and other related benefits, we can get one-fifth of it!
Anyway, we can make a profit, and the barbarian caravan can also make a profit, otherwise they will not come.

When our Ming Dynasty's ocean-going navy is built, we can go out and squeeze the profit margins of other barbarians. The buns are so big, some will eat more, and some will eat less. "

"Your Majesty, we can actually make the steamed buns bigger." The manager thought of what Hanhan said.
