Chapter 157

"By next year, there will be more hydrolooms and spindles. "

Meng Liang, Tang Long and the others also had smiles on their faces.

Although the day-to-day management mainly depends on those experienced officials.

The whimsical ideas, including the idea of this water-powered loom, were all put forward by the big masters.

But the prototype was made, all the way to the launch test, they made it with one hand and one foot.

Wang Lun is also very positive about their work, so Meng Kang and others are also quite confident.

Everything in front of them is also their hard work.

Hydro-loom machines, Jenny machines are also always improving.

The idea put forward by Wang Lun, with the blessing of "heavenly work" and the efforts of Meng Kang and others, has taken fewer detours than the British for decades.

The British used it for less than a hundred years, and when the animal-powered and water-powered looms reached their limits, the steam engine appeared.

The steam engine is actually not difficult.

Once you understand the principle and keep tackling key problems, sooner or later there will be a breakthrough.

But Wang Lun is not in a hurry now.

The existing base is sufficient.

When he took the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty, he destroyed Liao, Jin, Mongolia, Western Xia, Western Liao, Black Khanate, Uighur Khanate, Tubo, and Dali...... After these things were done, it was almost twenty or thirty years later to subdue Korea, the Japanese state, take back Annam, suppress Siam, Chenla and other countries, and take Nanyang.

At that time, steam engines and steam warships were on the agenda.

Under his rule, it is estimated that the population will not exceed 100 million.

The development and utilization of land in China is almost the same, and it can develop eastern Liaodong, the outer northeast, the grassland and the western regions.

At the same time, it can march to Singapore, Australia and North America.

These great places are truly the place of choice.

After taking it down, Wang Lun almost completed the task.

It's up to posterity.

has laid such a deep foundation, if future generations still spoil the "four three zeros" and are bullied again, it can only be said that they have done it themselves.

Of course, after there was practical learning, Confucianism was suppressed and abandoned.

After that, it will be difficult for China to decline.

These spindles in front of him are silver to the people around Wang Lun, and they are a sharp tool for making silver and copper coins.

It is a tool to make money, a machine.

For Wang Lun......

The meaning is much more profound.

This is industry, it is a real factory, it is a real germ of capital.

With a large number of handicraftsmen, one person and one machine with mobile phones, there is no improvement, only manpower, which has nothing to do with the process of industrialization, and it is not budding at all.

A large number of machines are used, one person uses multiple machines, and the machines are constantly being innovated.

Respect for technology and protect professionalism.

There is a law over power.

Only then can the financial industry be born, and there will be banks, lawyers, and various guilds.

That's where the real sprout really begins.

Now that Liangshan is almost on the right path, it will either sprout in a few decades, or it will be time to take full shape.

At that time, Wang Lun was almost able to retire.

"Fourth Prince," Meng Kang said with a smile: "Last year, we collected one million catties of lint, which can be woven into more than 300,000 pieces of cloth, and we purchased cotton from all over the country, and we can complete the output of one million pieces of cloth in the autumn of next year." You Jinguo, we can give more than 50,000 pieces of cloth every month, and if we need it, 100,000 horses. When the cotton arrives in the next autumn, we can give as much as you want. "

Under Liangshan's rule, at least 4 million mu of land will be planted with cotton in April next year, and the output will be more than 100 catties of lint per mu, or tens of millions of catties of lint, which can be made into millions of pieces of cotton cloth.

That's a huge number.

For local use, a maximum of several hundred thousand horses is enough.

There are nearly 10 million pieces of cotton cloth that can be exported, and this profit is also big and scary.

Whether it is Jin, Liao, Western Xia, Great Song, and the southern countries.

It can be sold as long as there is a demand.

There are also North Korea, Japanese countries and other countries, the demand for cotton products is also huge.

It can be said that as long as the textile is spun, it is not afraid that it will not be sold.

And it's quite profitable!

Even if the cost of hydrotextile is reduced in the future.

After large-scale planting, there must be many who follow suit.

The profit margins will not be as large as they are now.

But......

A piece of cloth must have a profit of more than consistent money, right?

With an income of tens of millions a year, what is there not to be satisfied with?

After salt and iron, Yangsan has a near-monopoly industry!

Like mirrors, lighters, nearsighted glasses, binoculars, glassware, soaps, these products are now also very popular.

There are also Seiko fur products, ginseng, Dongzhu and other Liaodong goods.

Changing hands is also very profitable.

But these products, don't look at the fact that only Liangshan can make them, but they are not irreplaceable.

Of course, it's good to have a mirror, but if you can't eat, what do you want a mirror for?

Lighters are convenient, and if you're not that rich, why can't you bother in the stove and leave embers to start a fire?

The glassware is beautiful and the windows are shiny, but without them, you won't starve or freeze to death.

Soap is of course a good thing, but without it, you can't wash your clothes, bath and hair?

These things are used to improve the quality of life, and it is good to have them, but if you choose one between life and survival, everyone will definitely give priority to survival.

You can't even survive anymore, what kind of quality of life are you talking about?

Even the ancients knew that not eating salt for a long time would lead to general fatigue and even life-threatening concerns.

Ironware, too, is not necessary.

Even if you don't eat stir-frying, you don't use an iron pot, an iron kitchen knife, an iron plough to plough the ground, and forks, rakes, shovels, etc., do you use them?

That's right, until a few hundred years later, many barbarian places still used stone plows, stone knives, and stone shovels.

But why are they barbarians?

He's lagging behind!

The kind of backwardness that can't even get enough to eat.

If there is an opportunity to use iron tools, they will definitely throw away the stone tools in their hands as soon as possible, and throw them as far as they can.

Then there are textiles.

Whether it is cotton or wool fabric, people not only cover their shame, but also have several functions such as keeping out the cold and preventing mosquito bites.

From the ancient animal skins and fish skins to the wearing of textiles, it took many thousands of years for human beings to wear.

Nowadays, human beings can't get rid of it as long as they wear cotton textiles.

You won't die if you don't wear cotton clothes, but you'll freeze, you'll get cold, and you'll get sick.

So, this is also a rigid necessity.

The textile industry in Liangshan has naturally become a pillar industry.

Moreover, Wang Lun's layout is obviously also aimed at overseas markets.

In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, Yanzhou in Shandong Province had about hundreds of thousands of acres of cotton fields.

Songjiang Province in Jiangnan has 1.5 million acres.

These are the two large-scale cotton fields in the Ming Dynasty, and they are also the largest cotton and cloth producing areas in the country.

The rest of the places, scattered and scattered, including Yunnan, add up to only one or two million mu.

The national cotton production is definitely insufficient.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, cotton cloth was also exported to the Wa Kingdom and Luzon, and the quantity was not large, because the domestic market was far from sufficient.

According to Wang Lun's current layout, in a few decades, Liangshan cotton cloth will be able to occupy the market of more than ten or twenty countries in later generations.

And even much more.

The Tianfang people have their own textile industry, the silk weaving industry in Egypt, and the wool spinning industry in Persia, all of which are quite developed and advanced.

There were also trade routes through Europe and Asia, as well as developed animal husbandry and agriculture.

This caused the caliphs to accumulate a terrible riches.

When the Mongols conquered the Celestial Empire, they melted the gold, silver and jewels of the caliphate's palace and poured them into the caliph's mouth.

Scalded the venerable caliph alive.

At the time, he must have regretted that he had too much wealth.

Although the textile industry and silk weaving industry of Tianfang people are developed, they do not have a large-scale industrial chain.

The production of cloth fabrics is pitifully low.

In the future, Liangshan cloth will be able to sell it sooner or later.

It can also be sold to Europe.

When the British came to China, they didn't want to sell opium at first.

They wanted to do business and sell their cotton cloth and wool products.

At that time they already had the first industrial revolution.

But what can really be dumped on a large scale is cloth products.

It's a pity that Huaxia is different from other places.

Small-scale peasant economy, farming and heirlooms.

It is a tradition to spin your own fabric. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Homespun has a deep-rooted market.

At that time, the scale of black tea in Sri Lanka was not large.

Bone china has just begun to be developed.

The three major artifacts of raw silk, porcelain, and tea in China were defeated by the colonists.

The Manchu chieftains did not care about trade business, closed off the country, and were unwilling to trade normally, so they only opened 13 lines in Guangzhou, seized goods at every turn, and cut off trade.

They could only use opium as an abnormal means to break into the Chinese market, and then use war to open more trade ports.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, foreign cloth was flooded with China, this kind of cloth was lighter and thinner than homespun cloth, but the toughness was not under the homespun cloth, and the dyeing was better, the quality was better, and the price was cheaper.

Handmade products don't come cheap.

In fact, after the electrification of the Industrial Revolution, all manufactured goods were cheaper in cost than handmade products.

And it's much cheaper.

The homespun cloth was beaten by foreign cloth and retreated, and the market was completely lost.

And then there's the kerosene lamp, which is a foreign lamp.

Matches, that's called foreign fire.

The nails are all foreign nails.

Wang Lun would never want such a thing to happen in this time and space after he appeared. []

He hopes that in the future world, there will be Chinese cloths, Chinese nails, and Chinese lanterns......

Wouldn't that be better?

Of course, the Chinese people also have times when they open up their territories, and they also hold a plow in their left hand and a sword in their right hand.

Either become a Chinese or a ghost.

But the period of this bloody development has long passed.

Plus the influence of Confucianism for thousands of years.

The way of benevolence and righteousness will be retained even if there is practical learning....

After China became strong and prosperous, the people would not be permeated with blind enemies and xenophobia, but would be more ambitious and self-confident.

The exploration of the world will not be as bloody and brutal as that of the colonizers.

A good thing for the entire human civilization.

A lot of people won't understand.

A weapon to open up the world, in addition to weapons and warships......

Even more powerful weapons are the machines in front of you.

Civilized things, made things plundered.

This is a more subtle means.

Wushu always had some fantasies at first, and even thought of going south to fight the grass valley of Liangshan.

But at this moment......

Look at the machine that can't see the edge at a glance.

Watching the flowing water impact the bearings, the machine turns.

The spindle rotates automatically.

A single worker can look at many machines......

At this moment, the thoughts and beliefs in his heart completely collapsed.

If you can weave cloth, you can make iron, you can make armor, and you can make more sophisticated weapons.

Wushu already knew that Liangshan had such a sharp weapon as artillery.

It is also known that Yangshan has a strong cavalry.

Including Aguta and others, they also knew that Liangshan had defeated more than 100,000 Song troops.

But before that, there was always some luck, and even thought of going south to fight the grass valley.

Now the vulture has been fully understood.

The gap between Jin Guo and Liangshan is all-round, and if it really fights, the Jin Guo side has no chance!

......

"Bang!"

A bag of grain landed on the ground with a loud thud.

There are at least three hundred catties, three stones and many fine noodles, Rao is Yue Fei has begun to grow, and his strength is terrifying, and his face is also red at this time.

Brother Yun, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Niu Gao and the gang behind him were also tired and panting, and put down the food bags on their bodies one by one.

"You stinky boys, you all said that you pack small bags and carry labor-saving, don't believe it......"

A middle-aged woman smiled helplessly, although she was counting Yue Fei and her group, she hurriedly asked someone to make honey water and give it to the children in her eyes.

There are still a few days to go before the New Year's Day, and the snow is everywhere, and this childcare bureau built in the village, that is, the orphanage, is inaccessible, and the courtyard is a group of middle-aged and elderly women, most of whom are on the way to escape, or have lost their relatives in the first place.

They are widowed and lonely, unable to farm independently, but they still have a certain ability to work.

Either in the textile workshop, or in the various departments to do some internal work, such as sprinkling sweeping, miscellaneous in the yamen, in the schools everywhere is also doing similar handymanship, sprinkling sweeping, or cooks and so on.

They can also support themselves, go to rich families to do things, and they also have food and shelter, and their lives are not bad.

But here in Liangshan, these women who have lost their families would rather be sheltered by Liangshan and work under Liangshan's arrangement.

This is the case with this childcare bureau.

The children are all orphans, most of whom are refugees, and some of them are at home, when adults die of epidemic and starvation, and the children follow their clans or fellow villagers all the way back.

Some are so skeletons who lost their relatives on the way, and when they arrived in Liangshan 0.2, they were already thin and hungry.

Similar floods and droughts actually occur every year in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, few displaced people have been properly resettled.

Basically, recruiting a man in the prime of life as a box army is all about disaster relief in the Great Song Dynasty.

During the reign of Shenzong, there was a famous "Wandering People" incident.

Wang Anshi resigned as a result.

But the old party, which attacked the new law and the new party, did not see how good they were to the displaced people.

It's business as usual.

When they arrived in Liangshan and entered the Child Care Bureau under the Department of Health and Welfare, these children could really settle down.

Yue Fei and his gang completed the internship task in the martial arts hall, and they also returned to school a few years ago and participated in the graduation assessment.

Now they are official military attachés, Yue Fei has awarded the deputy thousand households, the head of the capital, and the rest of the gang are also the heads of the capital.

Their study time is very short, more than half a year less than other students.

The main thing is that during the big war, they participated in the battlefield and participated in actual combat.

Graduated more than half a year early.

This group of teenagers is still fourteen or fifteen years old, but they eat well, exercise a lot, and they have grown up one by one, and judging from their body shape, they are already adults.

Niu Gao even grew a beard on his face, and he looked extremely vicious.

But none of the children in the Childcare Bureau were afraid of them, because they were all wearing the uniforms of the Liangshan Army.

This time it was a graduation homecoming holiday, and when I returned to the village where I lived, I took over the task of the pavilion chief and went to the granary of the Quartermaster Department to receive the materials for the New Year from the Childcare Bureau.

Yue Fei and the others all accepted the task quite happily.

Fine noodles, vegetables, cured meat, sauerkraut, pig's head, washed and peeled whole sheep, and after a while, the kitchen of the Childcare Bureau was full of all kinds of food.

The children are just out of school, and their little faces are red and cold, but they are all cheering.
