At the beginning of the new year, the people of Suxincheng are busy again, and the farmers are about to start preparing for spring ploughing, which belongs to the tropical region and has two crops a year.

Ploughing in early spring, harvesting in late summer and then plundering, and harvesting in early winter.

In a year, it is only idle for a period of time in mid to late winter.

The Xinqiong Empire is geographically located in tropical and subtropical regions, with flat and fertile land and relatively stable and high field yields.

Su Zheng is also very glad that the opening position is so good, at least it will not be bad for food.

The textile industry, as Su Zheng expected, soon squeezed the market of other weaving mills due to Su Zheng's cloth, which had high output, good quality and low price.

Fortunately, there are only two weaving workshops in Suxincheng, one is the cavalry captain Li Zhen, including him and Lei Ming, who have always handed over their own industry to Chris to take care of, and a group industry was formed early.

Chris directly changed the equipment of this weaving workshop.

The owner of the other weaving workshop was a commoner, and Su Zheng also took care of it generously, and all his hired workers were brought over.

He was then given a permit to do business on the move, and cloth was given at a low price for him to resell.

For Ted City and Merlin City, Su Zheng was not so polite, and directly asked Chris to invest in textiles, weaving and weaving, and quickly monopolized all the textile weaving and weaving in the two cities through high wages and low-price sales.

In just three days, the profit from selling cloth alone was as high as 10,000 copper coins!

In addition to the textile industry, there was also the food industry.

However, at present, the food industry is in the investment stage, after all, the food industry has quite a lot of processes.

For example, a plate of chicken, how to minimize the cost and improve the taste of the best requires a long industry.

The high yield of chicken meat should start from the feed, and the feed should start from the raw materials of the feed, such as yeast, crude protein, crude ash, crude fiber, etc.

Then there are the various seasonings needed to make this dish, and the raw materials for these seasonings also need to be planted.

This requires a long-term investment.

Su Xincheng, in the blacksmith shop,

"This time it's much better than last time, let's keep this part first, if it can be used, you don't need to build it again, make do with it first." Su

Zheng, whose face was covered with ash, wore a black apron and personally instructed several craftsmen to build things in the forging room of the blacksmith shop.

These things are important parts of the steam engine, and Su Zheng has designed several drawings, but none of them have been able to operate normally.

For so long, the only thing that has progressed is that the blacksmiths have created something that is barely in line with the Soviet government, and the parts can't even be spliced together at first.

The parts of the steam engine require a lot of effort and cost. For example, the sealing bar of the steam engine can not be made as rough as the redcoat cannon, and it requires the blacksmith to be more serious and delicate in manufacturing, and

the main problem now is that there are still problems with Su Zheng's design drawings.

Now Su Zheng only has literature and schematics of various technologies, but the schematic diagram cannot be created directly, so Su Zheng needs to read papers and textbooks, first understand these principles, and then use his own brain to design them.

There is no doubt that there will be many drawbacks in this, which need to be discovered by Su Zheng in practice.

The principle of the steam engine is actually very simple, but the improved steam engine, or the steam engine that can operate with high efficiency and can really be regarded as industrial equipment, is impossible to design a crude steam engine at will.

Inefficient steam engines, let alone carrying out the industrial revolution, may be counterproductive, but rather drag down development.

Therefore, even if the last drawing was barely moving, Su Zheng still found some serious problems that increased power consumption, so he could only revise and redraw it, and then build it all over again.

And even this drawing has been modified many times by Su Zheng and several units have been rebuilt.

.

"Let's do what I say, and I'll go out and cool off.

Su Zheng wiped his sweat, took off his apron and walked out, looking at the drawings as he went, thinking about the paper he had viewed through the bracelet last night.

The paper described in detail the difficulties in the design and manufacture of the steam engine, which was very helpful for this improvement.

"It's hot, drink saliva..."Su

Zheng walked to the tea stall opposite the blacksmith shop, the tea stall has been renovated, and it itself is specially prepared for Su Zheng, but now it has become the exclusive property of He Zheng.

He Jing was stirring the coffee in the cup with a small spoon in his hand, looking at Su Zheng who was gulping down water in front of him, He Jing asked him,

"What the hell are you doing?"

Su Zheng finished drinking a bowl of water and nodded.

He Jing sighed and looked at the blacksmith shop next to him in thought.

At this time, Chris rode over on a horse, and before he got off the horse, he hurriedly said to Su Zheng:

"His Royal Highness the City Lord... News came from Duotu Port that our textile industry in Duotu Port had suffered..."

"What's the matter?"

Su Zheng frowned and poured another bowl of water, but this time he didn't dry it in one gulp, but drank it in small sips.

"Relying on high quality and low price, we have completely monopolized the textile and weaving industry in Dotu Port, which makes Dotu Port somewhat blushing, and the manager we sent to Dotu Port is just an ordinary civilian, so they snatched a textile machine in the name of imposing taxes.

Chris got off the horse and said to Su Zheng, who laughed out loud when he heard this, and said disapprerovantly:

"Snatch one? What does it matter? It is not enough to improve efficiency, without cellulase and other chemicals, they will not be able to weave soft burlap at all."

Chris patted the back of his right hand on the back of his left hand with a bitter expression and said

, "Yes, after they forcibly took one, they found that they could not weave such good burlap as ours, so they became angry and instigated some unemployed workshop craftsmen to burn down all our shops, and did not allow our caravans to trade in Dottu Harbor."

Hearing this, Su Zheng put down the bowl in his hand and said a little angrily:

"Hiss... Boy... This port of Dotu is so bold!"

"Your Highness, in addition to the cloth that is sold directly to Notting, the port of Dotu is the place where we sell the most, after all, there is a fleet docked there, and they have caused us great losses in this way, and.... The other city-states are also ready to move..."

Su Zheng slapped the table, stood up, waved his hand and said,

"Let Thunder gather the team."

Hearing this, He Jing immediately asked,

"What do you want to do?" "

Pry open their gates so that our cloth can continue to be sold."

Su Zheng clasped his hands to his chest, looked at He Jing and said.

He Jing also stood up and said with some puzzlement:

"People just don't let you do business, so you're going to start a war?" And you were squeezing other people's industries in other people's territory, and people are right to do so."

Chris also nodded, this is indeed someone's territory, what people are doing Su Zheng has no right to ask at all, and the Su Group is actually an ordinary person over there, even if it is Su Zheng's industry, they have the right to drive it away, after all, the entire territory is the lord's private property.

"Now the other city-states also have a lot of opinions about our textile workshops, and if we don't give Dottu Port a little color, then the nobles of the other city-states will imitate Dottu Harbor and burn our workshops.

He Jing wanted to refute when she heard this, but she stopped talking, stopped talking, and finally she didn't speak again.

"But Your Highness, if we send troops directly, will the division be nameless..."

Chris's words made Su Zheng a little confused:

"Hmm, isn't it a reason to burn down our workshop?"

"This... It really can't be counted, after all, on the one hand, the burning workshop is only done by the nobles and ordinary craftsmen, on the other hand, it is indeed the people's grievances, and our workshop is highly efficient, so that many textile craftsmen are unemployed... There are also many cloth shops that have gone bankrupt...

"Hmm..... I've got to find a reason.... Hey, let's just say that they smashed our workshop and injured our craftsmen, and then used this to send troops!"

However, they all understand what Su Zheng means, and to put it bluntly, they must fight.
