Duran was shocked.

Claims that King Eagle was inspired by the Creator God have slowly spread over the past few days.

Of course he had heard of it.

In this world, people still believe in the existence of gods, and there are many legends circulating on the mainland.

Therefore, for this set of statements, there is a large market.

Of course, what really frightened Duran was not about the mysterious creator god, but about the word "plan" that came out of Zhang Xun's mouth.

These two words deserve his attention.

You must know that the most critical factor that turned the tide of the war between Yingyang and the Western Frontier was the new metallurgical plan that King Yingyang came up with.

So, hearing this word again, Duran couldn't help but think to himself, could this be another thing comparable to a new type of metallurgy?

No, it won't.

How can that kind of thing be given away for nothing?

Although a hundred thoughts flashed in his heart, he still asked decisively on the surface: "I don't know, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Xun bought a pass here, and said with a smile: "There is no basis for what you say, seeing is believing, so let's go down and rest first, it's not close from the east to Yingyang Road, I'll show you something in two days." ”

With that, he got up to see off the guest.

Although Duran had a stomach full of doubts, he had no choice but to say goodbye when he saw that King Yingyang's intention to send off the guests was obvious.

After sending people away, Zhang Xun and the prime minister were left in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, what exactly are you going to do?" asked Levi anxiously.

Zhang Xun looked at the palace door, twisted on the very uncomfortable iron throne, and then said lightly: "As I said, I have a new plan, which is about textile machines." ”

"Can you really boost cotton spinning?"

"Of course. ”

"How much can you improve?"

Zhang Xun thought about the plan he inquired, Jenny Machine was first added with eight sets of spindles, which was increased by eight times, but in his plan, the industrial revolution will soon be promoted, so there is no need to be so conservative.

So he paused and said, "Preliminarily, you can improve your ...... Twenty or thirty times. ”

Twenty or thirty times!

Levi was frightened and moved.

He gasped and silently made a calculation in his mind.

Then he was even more shocked and speechless.

He is not a skilled worker, and he is only shocked because it is conceivable that if the existing textile efficiency can really be improved so much, then the profits that the East will absorb will reach a terrifying level.

"What does the Earl think?" asked Zhang Xun.

"Very impressive!" Levi took a breath to calm his mind, and then said, "Is there such a machine?

"I'm not that generous," Zhang Xun shook his head, then looked at Levi's and said, "I'm wondering, do we have the ability to make textiles?"

"You're saying we'll do it ourselves?"

"Well, with this kind of machine, it is completely possible to snatch a large piece of meat from the mouth of the East Realm through price competition, but I don't know if the Eagle Yang folk have the ability to do so. ”

Seeing Zhang Xun's serious appearance, Levi couldn't help but bow his head and think for a while, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "I thought it was inappropriate." ”

"Why?"

"Yingyang has made a living from minerals since ancient times, and then there was metallurgy, which is completely different from the rest of the four countries, we Yingyang people have very few experience in cotton spinning, and it is too difficult to make people give up their jobs to engage in textiles, and this is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that of course we can do cotton spinning, but there is no commercial ability compared with the east. ”

"The commerce in the east is the most powerful, and we have many trade routes to the rest of the continent, and there are trading houses all over the five countries, so we have no foundation at all, so even if we produce it, it is difficult to sell. ”

"Also, if you want to prevent it, we don't have sericulture either, because of the land and the environment, we can't do it ourselves like the eastern border, we can only buy materials from the southern border, but the relationship between the king of the southern border and us is ...... So, I don't think it's appropriate. ”

After Levi finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xun sitting on the Iron Throne thinking.

I have to say that what Levi said is very reasonable and well-organized, and Zhang Xun has no way to refute it.

This also made him completely dispel the idea of forcibly doing this business.

"I see, if that's the case, then we're not going to do it. Going back to the previous topic, I do want to sell that machine to the East, and as far as I know, the Eastside royal family should need it. ”

"And rightfully so. Levi nodded.

On this point, the monarch and ministers reached a consensus.

Speaking of which, the Kingdom of the East is indeed quite wonderful.

Due to historical reasons, the royal family of the Eastern Realm has very weak jurisdiction over the entire kingdom.

The eastern territory is heavy on commerce, and each great nobleman has established its own trading houses, and through the commercial houses, they hold the lifeblood of the country's economy.

The royal family in the east, on the other hand, does not have much power except for the army, and if they want to control the kingdom, they even need to rely on the taxes of the major noble merchants.

The specifics are more complicated and don't matter.

In short, it can be simply understood that the East is a kingdom that has begun to take on the rudiments of capitalism.

Of course, if it is said to be a rudiment, it is really only a rudiment, there is no colonial invasion, there is no primitive capital accumulation in the East that can have a large amount of crime in a short period of time, there is no industrial revolution, and the ability to plunder wealth is not enough.

And the kings of this generation of the eastern royal family have only one queen in power because of blood problems.

This has virtually weakened the power of the royal family a lot.

In Luke's memory, the Queen of the East is not incompetent, and since she came to power, she has worked extremely hard to increase investment in royal industries, intending to use royal industries to compete with major aristocratic trading houses.

However, historically, state-owned industries have struggled to compare with private industries.

Therefore, the queen's business has always been tepid.

After Zhang Xun learned this, he had an idea, he kept the Jenny machine this thing useless, but it could be taken out and sold to the queen of the East, I believe that as long as she saw the ability of the Jenny machine, the queen should not hesitate, with the new machine, the royal family of the East can completely defeat the major trading houses in the pillar industry cotton textile industry.

"If so, the Queen of the Easts will definitely not give up. ”

Levi's tone was serious.

"When we started a war with the western realm before, there were many different voices in the eastern realm regarding the material aid to us, and many great nobles stood up against the aid, and in the end, although those opposition voices were suppressed under the promotion of the queen, but ...... This is obviously an extremely bad sign, if the queen does not find a way to stabilize the royal power, I am afraid that she will really be controlled by noble businessmen in the end. ”

The Prime Minister said in a complicated tone.

"So, it's all the more important for us to help our allies. Zhang Xun squinted and said.

……

When the prime minister left, Zhang Xun ordered to summon Lu Er, the director of the Metallurgical Research Institute, as well as a deputy director and a young clerk.

And in addition, people brought in a single loom that is now common in five countries.

After looking at it, there were not many that needed to be transformed, and he was very satisfied.

After a while, when several alchemists from the institute came to the king's study, they saw a loom on the ground.

Next to it is Zhang Xun's small blackboard.

His Majesty the King is writing in earnest with newly produced chalk.

It's like a thing of the past.

Ruhl, who was already the director, looked up excitedly, reverently, and inexplicably.

Say those three words softly.

"Jenny?"

Zhang Xun put down the chalk, turned around and smiled, "That's right, it's Jenny Machine!"
