The latest edition of Qiushi Bao was almost dominated by Guangdong.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yunwen is very happy about Guangdong's technological innovation and progress, but it is far from enough to say that he is surprised and jaw-dropping.

The perfect water supply and sewage system is only a few steps up on the shoulders of the ancestors, and the so-called hand-cranked water pump water supply is the predecessor of the modern water supply system, which is more than 200 years ahead of the times.

It wasn't until the early 17th century that the original plane was invented by John Bull.

Guangdong is located on the southern coast, close to the South Seas and India, and all kinds of resources are extremely rich and even cheap, coupled with the seemingly innate business acumen, enterprising spirit of reform, and unbridled thinking of Cantonese businessmen, the seeds of technological progress can be stimulated even if there is fertile soil for vigorous growth.

As for the extraction and utilization of pickled materials such as manure, and then the proficient manure steaming method, manure brewing method, and sludge composting, it is purely the influence of businessmen's careful calculations.

Make the best use of everything and squeeze out the value of every production capacity.

Don't let go of even.

It is a tael of silver that can be earned.

"The notebook sent by Zeng Wenji hopes to vigorously promote this new type of housing, save more land use, plant cash crops, and set up cluster workshops and factories."

Yang Shiqi pinched the notebook and reported Guangdong's plans one by one: "Moreover, Zeng Wenji is a bold official, he only stretched out his hand to the cabinet and hoped to approve 30 million special expenses, and the rest, with the guarantee of the Guangdong political envoy, borrowed 50 million from the Bank of Guangzhou, and mobilized the Guangdong Federation of Industry and Commerce to organize Guangdong businessmen to raise funds, and made more than 100 million. ”

"It's a good thing to dare to fight, and we must encourage the spirit of the locality."

Zhu Yun shook his head: "Publish it in the Qiushi newspaper, erect the vane of Guangdong's determined reform, and hope that the local provinces will learn more from it******** and affirm the achievements of Guangdong's development.

Perhaps only two provinces, Fujian and Jiangxi, are not very interested in this.

The latter still has a deep-rooted literary atmosphere, and the way out of life is to become a nobleman.

And the former's disdain is purely because he is not convinced.

In terms of wealth, Fujian, led by Quanzhou, is not inferior to Guangdong, and even in terms of consumption and entertainment, the diversity and hierarchy are much richer than Guangdong, and factories in coastal areas such as Quanzhou are not less.

"Your Majesty said that only industry can prosper the country, and they will engage in some bells and whistles, in the past, they used to attract merchants to send houses, but now they directly build houses, and then sell houses."

The officials in Fujian were dismissive of this, but after the joke, they still straightened their attitudes: "Since the cabinet has written a word, let's organize a study group and go to Guangzhou, and by the way, see the so-called new-style buildings and learn some techniques."

By the way, I would also like to invite them to come and learn about our textile technology. ”

Whether it is the domestic demand of Daming at this time or the export dumping to the overseas garment market, the demand is huge, and Quanzhou has opened several large-scale handicraft workshops that are completely unable to catch up with work.

Tailoring ready-to-wear garments is better, but the process of turning raw materials into cotton yarn is extremely time-consuming.

Tedious conversion requires more than just a lot of manpower.

So, a group of elderly spinners came up with the idea of their weaving tools.

Without understanding the principle of mechanical operation, they will only carry out improvement experiments on the failure point again and again, and the emperor has lived up to his painstaking efforts, and after a few years of tossing, they have really made a strange hand-loom.

Because it was developed by several women working together, it was named Duojiaoji.

The textile efficiency of this multi-delicate machine is almost dozens of times higher than that of the previous traditional technology, and the amount of weaving in a day of one machine for a woman is even more than the shipment of a cluster workshop earlier.

The pressure on foreign trade exports has decreased sharply.

Fujian takes Quanzhou as the center, with this Duojiao machine as the core, large and small built dozens of large-scale weaving mills, looms almost day and night, piece by piece, a piece of excellent workmanship, silk cloth is packed, and then sold to all parts of the country by transport, or sold to various countries by sea.

"Our achievements in Fujian are actually very outstanding, but the official doesn't like to be high-profile, everything is reported to His Majesty and the cabinet, a small loom, a few more clothes, what kind of national event?

The society relies on the leadership of the emperor, the overall planning of the local government and the connection between the upper and lower levels, how can the officials use the gadgets tinkered with by a few women to invite credit to His Majesty? ”

Chu Zhijie did not think that this was a great achievement, although the price of cloth and clothing in Fujian has been low to less than 30% of the previous level, and the quality of life of the people has improved linearly.

"Isn't it the duty of those of us who are officials to improve the quality of people's livelihood and stabilize living prices?"

Chu Zhijie didn't think this was a big credit, even if he was trying his best to promote the expansion of Duojiaoji, but he had never given a recital to the cabinet.

only said one sentence: "Fujian's local spinning and garment production has expanded nearly 30 times." ”

The cabinet told Zhu Yunwen about this matter at that time, and Zhu Yunwen thought that Fujian had expanded the number of workshops and increased the number of textile manpower, and he didn't think about new tools at all.

Chu Zhijie doesn't like to give Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, some strange things, and he doesn't like to invite merit and receive rewards, but when other provinces look at Guangdong's posture, this careful thinking is opened.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Qian retired, and Zhu Gaochi took over the class of university scholars; There are also many honorable retirees in the various ministries, and there are four vacancies in the ministry, although most of them are taken over by the deputy Zuo Shilang of the ministry, and there is only one Ministry of State-owned Assets left, which is also a book.

If you work hard, you may not be able to be selected to enter the Central Committee, after all, Ding Jingfu, the political envoy of Shanxi's Zuobu, will not now run to the Ministry of Officials as a Zuo Shilang.

When everyone's hearts are in one place, many problems will be solved.

Baoding Mansion is the base camp of the kiln, especially after the change of the dynasty of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the scale of the industry has shrunk sharply, but it is still struggling to support, especially when the political envoy of Beiping began to support it, the Dingyao that was about to decline ushered in the New Year.

"Relying on porcelain, our competitiveness is no longer as good as Jiangnan, so we have to find another way."

As the master and chief craftsman of the Dingyao, Wu Laosan has worked hard for the development of the Dingyao.

"Last year, Xiao Wu made a new porcelain, which is the bone china that was burned with beef and sheep ashes, although it can be regarded as a momentum to revitalize our kiln and re-launch the banner.

But bone china is a small family to buy, the royal family and the prince will not look down on each other, especially a few years ago, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province made what so-called blue and white porcelain, compared with one of them, our bone china is too level.

So, we've got to burn something new. ”

"Master, just say it directly, let's do something next."

A young man stood up, he was the little five who made bone china by name by Wu Laosan, and judging by his age, he was only about twenty.

"Let's do this."

Wu Laosan took out a thin slice from his arms, and the color was a little cloudy.

"This thing is too ugly."

Xiao Wu took it and looked at it, a little dissatisfied: "And the color is too poor, isn't it smiling and generous to use it to make porcelain." ”

This thing is not as good as bone china.

"Who told you it was for making porcelain?"

Wu Laosan smiled, picked up this small slice and aimed it at Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Can you see yourself?"

Xiao Wu closed his voice this time, because in the turbid flakes, there were rare human faces.

"This is, the mirror?"

Xiao Wu couldn't make up his mind: "If it's a mirror, this imaging effect is not too good, and the tin covered on the back also affects the reflection, and the distortion is too serious." ”

"That's why we have to work hard."

Wu Laosan sighed: "This is also made by the old man by accident, I think as long as the kung fu is home, we can make a perfect mirror without any distortion." ”

The kiln factory does not produce kilns, but switches to the production of mirrors?

Everyone looked at each other, but Wu Laosan was a master master, who had been in charge of the production of the kiln for so many years, and most of them were his apprentices and grandchildren, so naturally they did not dare to object.

"Since there is no objection, it is decided."

Wu Laosan clapped his hands: "Our generation of Dingyao people, we can't let the Dingyao be destroyed in our hands, I now announce that the production team of Xiaowudai will continue to produce bone china, which is the source of funds for our future research and development of new objects."

The rest of the production team stopped the production of porcelain and followed me with all my efforts to make the perfect mirror as soon as possible. ”

"Good!"

Everyone responded with a clamour, and the scene was very enthusiastic.
