Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1264 Rich and powerful

   became a foreman, and his salary was tripled.

   Ernv Liu looked at Mammy in disbelief.

As for the mother, she said with a smile: "With a new owner, the rules are still the rules of our Xishan cotton spinning workshop. Don't worry, shopkeeper Wang follows Qi Guogong's intention and has made it clear to others that this cotton spinning workshop , you have to follow the rules, so you don’t have to worry, just teach the newly recruited girls in the early stage, and when they are officially put into production, they will lead everyone to work. What’s yours is yours, not only that, This Xishan book is still taught, you can still come to read it when you have free time, sometimes you can buy a few books yourself, and read them when you are busy. Reading... is useful."

   "Yes, yes..." Ernv Liu nodded as if pecking at rice, and wept with joy.

Now, a large number of workshops are preparing for construction, and many merchants have already figured out that this new machine has a large output, can minimize labor, make small profits and sell quickly, and the market in Daming is extremely broad. Now... whoever rushes into production can expect to be rich in the future.

   I even heard that the Siyang Trading Company seems to be preparing to purchase such cloth.

The Siyang Commercial Bank has begun to expand slowly in the Western Ocean. They have their offices in various places. Their main business is maritime trade. Because they have monopolized the foreign trade privileges of the Ming Dynasty, and they have a lot of money, they wantonly recruited people. The price of this cloth is low, and the output is high. As long as there are enough ships to ship it to sea, it can still compete with the homespun cloth of other countries.

  Under such huge benefits, customizing machines, building factories, recruiting skilled workers, training newcomers... has become a top priority.

  This first cotton spinning workshop, with hundreds of female workers, has been in production for more than a month.

  They are already familiar with each production link.

  For merchants, the salary is affordable. As long as the future profits can be expected, not to mention three times the salary, five times or ten times, it is not a problem. What they are most afraid of is that there will be problems after they are put into production. After all, this is a new thing. How to arrange shifts, how to prepare materials, how to put in warehouses, how to deal with problems encountered during the production process, and how to arrange each section of work, etc. is a big problem.

  Thus, the female workers of the No. 1 Cotton Spinning Workshop, including those responsible for machine maintenance and repairs, have now become popular.

  The female nun called many names again.

   Almost these hundreds of female workers have arrangements.

   As for whether they will go or not, it is another matter.

  A workshop requires dozens of foremen, as well as small shopkeepers and big shopkeepers.

   Unfortunately, most cotton spinning workshops can only recruit women.

  If not, if men are recruited, no one will be willing to work.

  Ernv Liu was dizzy, as if fate had pushed her to the cusp of the storm all of a sudden.

It's not just her. In this workshop, there are seven or eight sisters recruited by the No. 1 Cotton Spinning Workshop, and most of them are foremen or shopkeepers. In this way, even if they go to an unfamiliar environment, they will be taken care of. .

The nanny announced one by one, her mouth was dry, and she finally said: "Tomorrow, you guys will go your separate ways, but in the future, no matter which workshop you go to, you guys will be the No. 1 Cotton Spinning Workshop." Those who come out of each other must take care of each other."

  Mammy looked very excited.

  She was originally an ordinary woman, but unexpectedly, she entered a cotton spinning workshop. Now, a new workshop has asked her to be a shopkeeper, fifty taels of silver per month, not counting other rewards.

  That night, there was a banquet, and after eating, they each went back to the dormitory to pack up. In the early morning of the next day, as expected... a lot of carriages and horses came outside, all from various commercial firms.

   All the girls got into the car one after another. These commercial firms only wished to treat these people as their ancestors.

  Ernv Liu only carried a burden and held her chest up. At this moment...it seems that she has confidence.

  She got into the car, opened the curtain, and saw the quiet No. 1 Cotton Mill.

  Without the roar of the machines and the thick smoke billowing from the chimney, this workshop stands alone.

   Ernv Liu was in a trance.

  But suddenly, she saw two familiar voices.

  The man named Zhu Xiucai, people say he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Ernv Liu doesn't think so, because the Crown Prince shouldn't be like this, would the Crown Prince be carrying a big bag shirtless and screaming? Will the prince take out a wrench with him?

  Today, Zhu Xiucai was not shirtless. He was wearing a nice shirt, with his hands behind his back, standing there with Qi Guogong, looking at the chariots and horses from a distance.

  Liu Ernv was immersed in joy.

  In an instant, these countless memories flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

  In an instant, her eyes turned red, and tears poured down like a spring.

  ...

  Zhu Houzhao stabbed Fang Jifan in the waist. ,

  Fang Jifan sternly said, "What are you doing?"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Old Fang..." He took a breath and looked at the women who boarded the car one after another.

   We have been together day and night for more than a month.

  Even that **** Liu Jin, I have been with him for a long time, and I still have feelings for him.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "When they go to other places, will they be bullied by others, will there be men like Ben Gong rushing in in the workshop, shirtless, with malicious intentions?"

   "No way." Fang Jifan comforted Zhu Houzhao; "Ordinary people, they want face."

  Zhu Houzhao sniffed, feeling a little bit reluctant, and sighed: "Stop talking weird here."

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Don't talk, don't talk, Your Highness, there is no permanent banquet in the world. Once we sell the machines, the First Cotton Spinning Workshop will be unprofitable. Instead of letting the workshop compete with other workshops, it is better to Provide machines to the cotton mills and let them compete themselves."

   "Yes." Zhu Houzhao nodded.

  At this time, an **** came: "His Royal Highness, Duke Qi, the Empress is here to invite you."

  ………

  Early in the morning, Xishan sent people to deliver a lot of books.

  Now Xishan has a special library, which houses countless masterpieces of Xishan Academy.

   It involves economics, engineering, chemistry, medicine, and arithmetic.

   These books were compiled by Jiang Chen.

Some books are more popular, so they are released for printing, but some books are too difficult to understand, and not many people can understand them. In addition to seeking the income from the periodicals, the authors are only interested in them. Sort out the knowledge, then bind it into a volume, print some, and store it in Jinzangshuge.

  Every day, there are many people who go to Zangshuge to study.

   Not only ordinary students, but also people from outside.

  In the eyes of many people, if they encounter any doubts, they can always find a way to find the answers in the library.

  Empress Zhang looked at the boxes of books, dumbfounded.

  Chemistry...don't understand...

  Mathematics... I am dazzled and dizzy.

  Medicine... Looking at the human anatomy diagram, Queen Zhang felt a little scary.

  Engineering…

  Agronomy…

   Fortunately, a new student... Empress Zhang can understand a little bit, but...

  Empress Zhang couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Ruying."

   "Your Majesty." Liang Ruying was on the side, looking down at a book.

   Sitting beside Liang Ruying is Fang Xiaofan.

  Fang Xiaofan was brought up by Empress Zhang, she usually loves to read, and always quietly accompanied Empress Zhang, silent.

  Empress Zhang rubbed her temples: "Oh, I just glanced at these books and felt a severe headache. This knowledge is too profound."

   "It's not advanced at all." On the side, Fang Xiaofan said: "It's very simple, ma'am, look, it's just a matter of arithmetic, it's nothing more than a function, this function..."

   "Xiaofan, go read your book." Empress Zhang said to Fang Xiaofan with a smile.

  Fang Xiaofan let out an oh, and continued to lie on the desk.

  She is almost twelve years old, slim, delicate and lovely.

  Now, Xiurong is married, and Empress Zhang feels empty. Looking at Fang Xiaofan, Empress Zhang can think of Zhu Xiurong when she was not out of the cabinet.

  Liang Ruying smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no limit to learning. If you want to learn knowledge, you must work hard."

   Empress Zhang nodded with Liang Ruying's encouragement, "It makes sense, others can learn it, so why can't I learn it? It's just, where is the best place to start."

  Liang Ruying: "..."

  Facts have proved that it is easy to give Queen Zhang a little chicken soup for life. It is nothing more than hard work, success, and you are not stupid than others.

   May relate to specific…

  Liang Ruying coughed slightly: "It's better to study medicine."

  Queen Zhang said: "When I saw blood, I became dizzy."

  Liang Ruying had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, in fact, your Majesty is the mother of the country. What's the use of this specific knowledge, your Majesty has learned. Your Majesty is just like Your Majesty, who takes care of the overall situation."

   "Overall?" Queen Zhang frowned, staring at Liang Ruying.

  Liang Ruying coughed: "This, this..."

  Empress Zhang said with emotion: "I know, you think I'm stupid."

   "No, nothing." Liang Ruying said.

  Empress Zhang smiled: "I don't mean to blame you, but you said that you are in charge of the overall situation, and I have some clues. Come on, invite my brothers."

  ...

  The two brothers, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, have kept a low profile since they made a fortune.

  The worries of rich people are not afraid of thieves stealing, but they are afraid of thieves thinking about it.

  As soon as they heard their sister summoning themselves, their faces turned green with fright.

   Arrived at Kunning Palace, saw Empress Zhang, Zhang Heling slapped, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have summoned my ministers here, I don't know what to teach you."

  Seeing that their clothes were patched, Empress Zhang couldn't help saying: "Look at you, what it looks like, it's so shabby, I don't know, I think someone has treated you badly."

  Zhang Heling burst into tears immediately: "Your Majesty, you don't know, minister... Poor, early this morning, I was knocked on my teeth by the sand in the porridge while drinking porridge, and it still hurts now."

  Empress Zhang became concerned, and said in surprise: "If you drink porridge, you have to order someone to wash the rice with water."

"It can't be like this..." Zhang Yanling said: "Didn't there be an agronomist who wrote an article in the search journal, the nutrition in the rice is all in the rice, and when the rice is washed, this good thing is washed away, wasteful what."
