At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 320, Foreigners and New Spinning Wheels
After Tian Yang's calculation, all the dock workers were stunned, but at the same time, he also very simply let them know what stand means. Their stand is different from that of Mr. Li. Mr. Li wants big fish and meat. They will eat the chaff and drink the water.

Tian Yang continued: "The universal love of our Mohists must also put our stance on the side of the craftsmen and producers of the world, because the wealth of the world is produced by us, and we should have The right to the wealth we produce.”

"As you can see, Chenjun Wharf is still the same wharf, and the goods we carry are still the same as before. At most, our Mo family has developed some advanced equipment to reduce everyone's labor intensity, but everyone's income has doubled. This is Why?"

“It’s because people who exploited us in the past, like Mr. Li, spit out the fruits of our labor, we can get our hard-earned money.

Next time someone like Li Jie appears to oppress us, we should unite to defeat him.

This is why I teach you the unity song. There are thousands of porters at Chenjun Wharf. As long as you unite as one, you will be an invincible force. Li Jie and his like can be easily defeated. "

Xiong Ju applauded excitedly: "You said it well, leader. Under your leadership, if anyone dares to bully us in the future, we will fight back."

Everyone started applauding vigorously.

Tian Yang suppressed their voices, and then continued: "This month, our Chenjun Pier has made about 100 million yuan, and most of the people in Chenjun rent houses. I have discussed with several leaders and plan to Use this money to buy a piece of land from the court. The building belongs to our dock workers. After the land is approved, we will start construction. After everyone finishes work, the workers who go to work and contribute can buy a set of three-dimensional If you don’t want to be so tired, you will have to spend 5000 yuan to buy the house after it is built. In short, you have to pay for it if you have the money and the strength.”

It has to be said that Chenjun Wharf is a place where wealth flows. After Tian Yang and the others managed Chenjun Wharf, even though they increased the income of dock workers, due to the accelerated circulation of goods, the utilization rate of the wharf increased. They have more money every month. More than a million dollars in revenue, and this number continues to increase.

Tian Yang and others were not merchants, and the Mohist system did not allow them to occupy the money. After some discussion, they decided to use the money to build houses for dock workers to live in.

Xiong Ju said excitedly: "Is what you said true?"

Real estate is not unique to modern times. There is also the most widely circulated saying in ancient times, that is, it is not easy to live in Chang'an. Ancient officials could not afford to buy houses in the capital. Such stories abound in Qing history.

Although Chen County is not the capital of the Han Dynasty, it is also the industrial center and economic center of the Han Dynasty. Its housing prices are naturally high. The dock workers who come to work here cannot afford to buy a house and can only rent a house. The rent is about It accounts for 20 to 30% of dock workers' income.

In Tian Yang's opinion, if the dock workers' housing problem is solved, their income can be increased again.

Tian Yang said: "Of course it is true. The open space behind the warehouse area is the place we have chosen to build the workers' courtyard. When the time comes, the workers' complex will not only have houses for everyone to live in, but also a primary school will be built, and our children will be there. If you don’t read and read, we will also educate you. If you don’t read and write, you will have no future in the country. We will also build medical clinics so that everyone can be treated quickly if they are sick, so that minor illnesses will not turn into serious illnesses.”

Xiong Ju said excitedly: "Long live Leader Tian Yang, long live the Moh family."

Other dock workers also said excitedly: "Long live Leader Tian Yang, long live the Moh family!"

Tian Yang's words are like a dream life for them.

Tian Yang suppressed their voices and wanted to continue talking.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted outside Tian Yang's warehouse: "Is Tian Yang, the leader of the Mo family, here?"

Tian Yang and the others looked strange that someone was looking for them at night, but they still motioned to the person near the warehouse door to open the door.

There were more than a dozen people outside the door. The leader was tall and burly, a head taller than the people next to him. He also had a long sword stuck in his body. He was not easy to mess with at first glance, but he was only wearing tattered clothes. The linen clothes looked very poor, and the dozen or so people following them were also wearing tattered linen clothes, and their conditions were not very good.

After they came in, the strong man at the head continued: "Is the leader of the Mo family, Tian Yang, here?"

Tian Yang said: "I am."

The strong man raised his hands in salute and said, "Meng Jiao, a native of Wei, has met Mr. Tian Yang."

Tian Yang also bowed his hands and said, "I don't know, what is Master Meng looking for?"

Meng Jiao said: "A certain fellow countryman can no longer live in the Wei Kingdom. I heard that Chen County is prosperous, and I want to come to Chen County to make a living. The Mo family is also a lineage of our rangers, so we should make money, and we are not greedy." , I just want the Mo family to give up a small area that can accommodate three or five cargo ships. "

Xu Fan often felt helpless because the feudal system of the Han Dynasty hindered the development of industry, while the Wei State was a vassal state that did not even have a unified internal feudal system.

In order to develop the military, Wei Jiu allowed the local aristocrats to develop their military. The consequence was that the Wei State, which had only one county, was broken into dozens of pieces. The powerful aristocrats occupied a county, and the small ones occupied a township. The land of a few villages has completely degenerated into the situation of the early Spring and Autumn Period where there were many small vassal states, where chickens and dogs heard each other, and the old and dead did not interact with each other. Scenes can be found everywhere in the Wei State.

But times are moving forward, and the world will never return to the Spring and Autumn Period. The situation in Wei State has left the people at the bottom with almost no chance to make progress. Those heroes who are unwilling to be poor, have ideas, and ambitions will naturally leave and solidify themselves. In my hometown, I went out to explore.

Chenjun, which was close to Wei, rich and had many opportunities, became the first choice for Wei's heroes.

Meng Jiao's hometown is in Xiaoyi, Gaoyang, Liang State. Of course, Meng Jiao considers himself to be from Wei. Gaoyang is only a hundred miles away from Chenjun. The two sides can be said to be very close. They have always been very envious of the prosperous Chenjun.

But more than a month ago, the Han Dynasty sent an inspection censor to Chen County to purge the local ranger group. It is said that tens of thousands of people were exiled to central Guizhou, and even Han officials arrested hundreds of people.

When Meng Jiao and others heard the news, they didn't feel panic, but felt that an opportunity had come. The ranger group in Chen County had been purged. They didn't even have any opponents, so they could take over immediately. With Chenjun's wealth, even occupying a grass market would allow them to return home rich and wealthy.

So with this idea in mind, Meng Jiao used his prestige to gather a group of his friends and went south to Chen County to make a fortune.

It's a pity that Meng Zao didn't expect that the Mo family would rise to power so quickly. As soon as he and his companions arrived in Chen County, they found that the territory of Chen County Pier was controlled by the Mo family. Meng Zao hesitated for a moment.

The Mo family is not only a knight-errant organization, but also a school of thought. It also has a background in the Han Dynasty. Their giant Qin Bo is also one of the Nine Qings of the Han Dynasty. He has a high position and is highly valued by the emperor of the day. He cannot provoke him at all. .

But sometimes the form is to force people to move forward. People like Meng Jiao are also gangsters in their hometown and don't have much money in their hands. However, Chen County is the richest county in the Han Dynasty. Rice in Chen County is expensive, no, it should be said that it is Everything except rice was expensive, and they quickly spent their meager savings.

The younger brothers around Meng Zai began to feel dissatisfied with him. They followed Meng Zai because they wanted to make a fortune, not to beg in Chen County. This forced Meng Jiao to find a way to find people from the Mohist family. Even though the Mohist family was huge, they had to find a way to gain a piece of territory.

Xiong Ju said angrily: "You people from the Wei State actually want to bully us Han people. You don't know the heights of heaven and earth." It doesn't matter if you are bullied by your own people. Now even the common people of the Han vassal like Wei State dare to bully them. The dock workers present all He looked at the foreigners like Meng Jiao angrily and planned to beat them up.

Tian Yang stopped the dock workers from rushing forward, and instead said to Meng Jiao: "As a big man, if you want to be a ranger who exploits the people, you can't survive. The emperor hates such rentiers the most, and the Han in Chen County The officials will not let you do such a thing."

Meng Jiao mocked: "You, the Mohist family, can occupy Chenjun Wharf and gain benefits, but we can't. When did the Mohist family start to learn from Confucian hypocrisy? What Brother Tian said today makes people feel uncomfortable. You are not willing to accept it." Cai just said it, why use such words. Those who don’t know think that I am meeting a Confucian scholar. If Brother Tian’s words are spread, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by the knights in the world? "

The Mo family is not only a giant in the academic world, but in the ranger world, although they are not the leader of the martial arts alliance, they still have the status of Taishan Beidou, and they must abide by the rules of the rangers. Meng Jiao dared to come here because he planned to limit the fight between the two sides to the ranger world. Otherwise, given him ten courages, he would not dare to challenge the huge Mo family.

When the young and energetic Chen Lei heard this, he sneered and said: "Don't you just want to attack the dock? Well, we will do it according to the rules of the ranger world. Brothers, all copy my guys and beat these outsiders out."

"Okay!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison.

Meng Zao and others were immediately frightened. Although Meng Zao was tall and powerful, there were only a few people with extraordinary talents like him. Chen Jun was more than ten times richer than Gao Yang, and even the lowest-level dock workers had better food than Gao Yang. If the people are kind and work for a long time, the dock workers are all first-class young and strong men, who cannot be compared with the thin Mengjia people.

Meng Jiao sneered and said: "You Mo family intends to bully the small people with more people. Naturally, we are no match. But you, the Moh family, only care about getting rich for yourself and don't show any respect for knights. So don't blame us for being unethical."

Business at Chenjun Wharf is so prosperous, and the dock warehouses are even more packed with goods. If there is a fire or bad guys come to cause trouble, the losses of your Mo family will probably be even more severe. "

Chen Lei said angrily: "You dare to threaten us, foreigners, you have picked the wrong person. I will put you in jail today."

Although Chen Lei is only the director of the steel factory, his father Chen Chui is the right commander of the Shaofu, and can barely be regarded as one of the Nine Qings. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Chen Chui was awarded the title of earl because of his status as a hero. It can be said that Chen Lei is both an official and an official. The second generation, also the second generation of nobles, how could they be threatened by these low-level rangers.

But Tian Yang pulled Chen Lei and said: "Brother Meng may not know the dignity of his status. When recruiting soldiers for our Han army, the requirement is to have the status of a good family, even if he is a commoner of the princes. But if Brother Meng is to be He was detained in prison. With this stain, it would be difficult to join the Han army in the future.

In today's world, the emperor attaches great importance to heroes, and fame and wealth can only be obtained by horseback. There are hundreds of heroes who have been awarded titles. How can the benefits of a mere dock be compared to the status of a prince?

I think Brother Meng is also a hero, so why not join the army? In this way, you can serve the court, make great contributions, and honor your ancestors, and return home rich and honorable. "

Then Tian Yang asked Feng Nan to take out 1000 money and hand it to Meng Jiao and said: "I think Brother Meng is also in trouble, but sooner or later he will realize his ambition. This small amount of money should be regarded as the means of making money in our Mo family."

Meng Jiao was stunned when he heard Tian Yang's words. To be honest, he really didn't think that his identity was any noble. But now after listening to Tian Yang's words, he really can't give up his identity as a good man easily. He came to Dahan as If you want to get ahead, you don't just want to be a ranger.

In fact, all rangers have a dream, which is to be favored by the nobles and be promoted to officials by them. They are famous in the market not just to attract the attention of the nobles, but now they may also become nobles, even if the chance is extremely slim. But Meng Jiao was unwilling to give up, so he took the money from Tian Yang, cupped his hands and led his younger brother to turn around and leave.

Chen Lei thought for a while and said, "These people won't come back again after taking the money, right?"

Tian Yang said: "Don't worry, they won't come again."

Feng Nan smiled and said: "Our Mo family is the largest ranger in the world. They took our Mo family's money and dared to cause trouble. We, the Mo family, can prevent them from mixing in the ranger world."

People like Tian Yang were not Qin Bo's disciples, but his senior brothers. Although Qin Mo was massacred by the First Emperor back then, Chu Mo in the south had been acquired as a ranger in the Chu land. Back then, Qin Bo used these people as the backbone to form the current Mohist family, and Tian Yang became a Mohist from a ranger. So they know more about the rules of the ranger world.

Tian Yang, on the other hand, sighed and said: "The emperor still has the foresight. He knew when he was purging the Chen County ranger group that these people could not be killed cleanly. I didn't expect that the ranger group would come so soon."

"But it is also an unexpected surprise for me, the Mohist family. The real Mohists should still be found among these craftsmen. They are our foundation."

The words are divided into two parts. Xu Fan entered Guanzhong through Wuguan and did not return to Chang'an City immediately. Instead, he came to the bank of the Weishui River and a new textile factory.

Gongshu Qiu excitedly introduced to Xu Fan: "This is a new textile machine designed by my Gongsun family. Its efficiency is more than twice that of the old water conservancy spinning wheel, and its durability far exceeds that of the old water conservancy spinning wheel." car."

At this time, several senior craftsmen were busy around a water-powered spinning wheel. This kind of spinning wheel was huge, more than ten meters long, and looked a bit steampunk. The parts in this new spinning wheel, A large proportion has been replaced with steel parts.

The original spinning wheel relied on manual labor and the requirements for materials were not too high. However, when the new water conservancy spinning wheel was manufactured, it relied on the huge inertia of flowing water to spin, so the spinning wheel suffered a lot of pressure. , and the speed and time of operation are even more unmatched by human-powered spinning wheels.

Because the material is not strong and wear-resistant enough, Dahan's water conservancy spinning car is prone to problems. However, when it comes to complex water conservancy spinning cars, it cannot be repaired with just a hammer, which greatly affects the spinning car. s efficiency. But now the use of the Ministry of Steel will perfectly solve this problem.

Xu Fan carefully watched Gongshuqiu's new spinning wheel and found that the power device of the spinning wheel had changed. It used to be a bamboo tube type, but now it has been replaced by the blades of later generations. It can be said to be a water turbine. , and also used the bearing structure of later generations. Such a spinning wheel is not only more powerful, but also has lower friction. No wonder Gongshuqiu is confident that it can double the efficiency.

With the efforts of everyone, this spinning wheel was placed next to the Weishui River. The water flow hits the blades in the waterwheel to generate power. This force is then transmitted to the spindles and other parts of the spinning wheel through the bearings. The 50 spindles on this water-powered spinning wheel rotate rapidly, and the yarn is spun out quickly. This speed is faster than The old spinning wheels were much faster.

After the spinning wheel ran without any problems for a period of time, Xu Fan clapped his hands to congratulate the public on losing their revenge.

Gongshuqiu said with a proud smile: "The new spinning wheel is not only strong and durable, but the yarn produced is both tough and wear-resistant, and can be spun delicately. Its quality is better than the old spinning wheel and human spinning wheel. Moreover, wool can be spun by just changing a few parts, and one machine can be used for multiple purposes, completely solving the problem of idle machines.”

Xu Fanxi said: "The textile industry is the pillar industry of our country, and woolen cloth is the fastest growing fabric in the textile industry. Mr. Gongshu's new spinning wheel can solve our big problem."

In recent years, as the efficiency of Dahan's spinning wheels has increased dozens of times, and the number of new textile machines has continued to increase, the entire world has fallen into a short-term problem of raw materials.

Without the influence of Xu Fan, a time traveler, the world of Han Dynasty should have been a self-sufficient small farmer society. If farmers want to weave cloth, they will plant a few acres of hemp and raise a few acres of mulberry trees. After the harvest, the farmer family will work together Work, pull hemp, or raise silkworms, and use the raw materials grown and raised by yourself to weave into linen or silk.

But when the Han Dynasty's water conservancy spinning wheels and the number of new textile machines doubled, and the efficiency of spinning and weaving in the world increased by more than ten times, the raw materials for linen and silk were still expanding at a rate that was based on the self-sufficient model. On.

As a result, the shutdown of textile factories became the norm. Many textile factories had to rob raw materials grown in other counties. Local counties were also developing the textile industry and they also lacked raw materials. Therefore, these county governors overtly and covertly restricted the hemp and hemp production in their own counties. Thread out. Exporting raw materials is not as profitable as exporting products.
