Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire
Chapter 20
"What are you going to give this thing a name?small
cannon?hand cannon?" He Jing played with the flintlock pistol in her hand, she was surprised that Su Zheng actually reduced the cannon, so that one person could operate it.
"Muskets. "
Fire... Guns? It's not like a gun. "
Haha, sooner or later, guns will become synonymous with it, not those cold weapons!" Hearing
Su Zheng's words, He Jing's expression suddenly changed, looking at the gun in her hand and thinking, after a moment she spoke
: "Su Zheng, do you plan to use them for expansion?"
Su Zheng nodded, took a sip of the teacup, and then said:
"That's right, I make these things, of course I have plans to expand."
Hearing this, He Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it, Su Zheng put down the teacup when he saw this, and asked her,
"What's wrong?"
"These things will only make the mortal empire kill each other more cruelly..... And it can't pose much threat to the empire of Central Continent at all...."
After listening to He Jing's words, Su Zheng laughed, leaned back on the chair and spread his hands:
"Hahaha, one cannon can't hurt you, but what if it's ten guns together? What about 100 guns together? What about 1000 doors together? Can't it hurt you? Okay, even if I can't hurt the Magic Empire, it's okay to let it help me occupy more cities."
"Are you still planning to use it to expand?"
"Of course!"
He Jing looked at the gun in his hand for a long time, and then looked at Su Zheng with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, then sighed, threw the gun on the table, and walked towards the door.
Su
Zheng hurriedly picked up the gun and wiped it with distress, this is the world's first gun, and it was made under his own personal guidance, so it is necessary to build a museum, and then list it in the most conspicuous place! Then collect tickets!
With the advent of the first gun, the large-scale manufacturing of flintlock pistols will soon begin, and will gradually be equipped into the army.
Su Zheng then devoted himself to the study of changing the productive forces.
First of all, the first step is to make a radical improvement to the textile industry.
........
"Hey, such a fast way of weaving and weaving..."
Chris clapped his hands excitedly as he looked at the loom in front of him, which had increased the efficiency of an unknown number of times.
The textile machine designed by Su Zheng is not only easier to operate, but also quite efficient.
Su Zheng also made improvements on the basis of the Jenny machine to further improve the efficiency.
And the most important thing is that Su Zheng also made improvements to the production process of linen, such as adding some chemicals similar to 'cellulase' in the process of making twine, which can make the twine softer.
"And this line .... We can now make twine with a large yield of coarse leaf hemp, which is much less expensive than soft leaf hemp. Chris
picked up a thread made of coarse leaf linen, and the burlap made of coarse leaf linen is generally not used to make clothes, because it is too hard and coarse, and although soft leaf linen is also very rough, it is much better than the linen made of coarse leaf linen, so it has become the main material for civilian clothing.
However, compared with coarse-leaved hemp, soft-leaved hemp yields are lower. The growth cycle of coarse-leaved hemp is only one month, and it does not pick the season, and it grows even faster in summer and autumn. However, the growth cycle of soft-leaved hemp has half a year
, "The cloth woven in this way has a low cost and good quality, and it will definitely make a lot of money when the time comes!"
Su Zheng nodded, although he is not short of money for the time being, but who would be afraid of having too much money? Moreover, the future expenses must not be small, so it is better to increase his income as soon as possible.
Suddenly, Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, staring at the loom in front of him with his hands on his waist, and fell into thought.
"Shhhh Great column tutor, thank you. "
Su Zheng clapped his hands, as a thorough materialist, as a believer in Master Ma and Master Lie, Su Zheng suddenly got the 'true biography' of Master Lie.
"Shhhh State capitalism... Hahaha. "
What... What?"
Chris scratched his head in confusion when he heard the word.
Su Zheng turned around and looked at Chris behind him and explained:
"Lower costs mean that we can give better treatment to craftsmen, improve the production enthusiasm of craftsmen, and make products have better quality assurance, which means that we can seize more markets, and at the same time use higher wages and lower prices to attract workers and squeeze the market... This... According
to the theory of the teacher, state-owned assets are the way in which state-run industries raise workers' wages and lower product prices by compressing or even having no surplus value.
However, this is the direction of future development, and now Su Zheng's behavior can only be called 'monopoly'.
"Hey, I understand Your Highness.
Chris nodded in realization.
.
.
As Su Zheng guessed, when this kind of cloth officially began to be sold in Suxincheng, the whole Suxincheng came to hear about it.
As long as the price of the usual linen cloth is half the price, you can buy a softer fabric, and everyone hurried over to buy it.
Everyone thought it was Su Zhengfa's welfare, the opportunity was rare, and it was just about to come to the New Year's Eve, and when it came to the annual "Holy Year's Day", everyone paid for cloth to make new clothes.
The fabrics of other workshops immediately lost their market and could only be sold at a reduced price, but no matter how much they were reduced, they could not be lower than the cost price.
Moreover, the quality of Su Zheng's cloth is better, in this low price, even if other fabrics fall below the price of these fabrics, I am afraid that others will still choose Su Zheng's cloth.
However, to the relief of these shops and workshops, Su Zheng bought all their stocks of these fabrics at the original market price.
This is so that these shop owners and workshop owners can have a good "Holy Year's Day" with peace of mind.
For Su Zheng, this festival is simply dressed in the skin of Christmas, living the Oriental Spring Festival + New Year's Day.
The legend of the Holy Year is the day of the coming of the goddess, which is interpreted almost exactly as Christmas.
But the time of the festival is also the end of winter, and the way everyone celebrates the festival is also family reunion, to eat reunion dinner, to visit relatives and friends after the year, and even on Chinese New Year's Eve, there is also a "goodbye" activity, which is actually equivalent to "Chinese New Year's Eve Celebration".
It's a pity that there are no customs such as eating dumplings, spring rolls, rice cakes, etc., and there are no firecrackers, or there are no such things at all.
Everyone's farewell activities are to light bonfires around the streets, sing and dance, or pray in the courtyard with their own families to celebrate the harvest of the previous year and wish for a safe new year.
Since Su Zheng is here, it is necessary to completely turn it into the Spring Festival of the East! Firecrackers must be arranged, as well as dumplings and spring rolls and rice cakes.
