Chapter 541: Expanding the Force
"This thing is really unusual, with this machine, this production capacity can be increased dozens of times!"
In the workshop, everyone looked at the somewhat simple machine in front of them, but their faces were full of surprise.
This is the weaving girl machine developed by Lu Chensheng, which was originally called Jenny Textile Machine.
It's just that now Lu Chensheng uses it, and it's a bit awkward to call it such a name, so he replaced it with a weaver girl loom to use it.
The Weaver Girl was originally the patron saint of the weavers, and it was the most appropriate name to put on it.
"It can be used, and the efficiency is good, so let them build more machines like this as soon as possible."
Lu Chensheng looked at it, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he spoke.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with this machine, Lu Chensheng naturally asked the craftsmen to increase their production.
With this machine, the textile industry will make rapid progress and provide a lot of jobs.
When the time comes, the cloth will be cheaper, and the burden on the people will be reduced.
This machine is not particularly difficult for the craftsmen.
Compared to the construction of some palaces, this machine is simply too simple, especially this thing, which can be made entirely of wood, so it is even easier to make.
The craftsmen have already seen that from time to time their own shopkeepers come up with some amazing inventions.
It's just that now that I see it, I'm still shocked.
There is always a kind of knowledge that has been constantly refreshed by the shopkeeper for many years.
After solving this matter, Lu Chensheng clapped his hands and left.
He can rest assured that the craftsmen are doing things, and since the matter has been explained, then he can relax for a while.
When Lu Chensheng returned home, he saw that Bai Yi was already sitting in the yard, holding Yiyi in his arms at the moment, breastfeeding, revealing a scene that was surprisingly white and quite eye-catching.
Because of this, outsiders are no longer allowed to enter the courtyard.
The attendants who have been reporting have now been replaced by women.
Bai Yi listened to the movement, and after seeing that it was Lu Chensheng, he still continued to feed Yiyi in his arms.
"The lady is back."
Seeing this, Lu Chensheng immediately smiled on his face.
Bai Yi responded, "Everything is fine over there in Jiyun City, and you can rest assured." ”
Xinghan City, which had been recovered by Lu Chensheng once, was recovered again now that she came here.
"Is there a recruitment of soldiers starting over there? Is it easy to recruit? ”
On the side of Xinghan City, due to the autumn harvest this time, many refugees outside the city have passed the assessment and can enter the city.
The number of people suddenly increased a lot, and many people were happy, and the craftsmen who were in charge of the construction of the palace began to recruit people to work there.
On the docks, now that the fighting has passed, the Tartars have been driven away, and the ships have come and gone on the docks, and the workers have also increased.
The Tartars, who had been captured in the tens of thousands, were now all sent to dig canals.
Because there were too many people, thousands of people were sent to take care of these Tartars.
The Tartars only had some shovels or something in their hands, and even if they wanted to make a rebellion, with the crossbows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers, they had no ability to resist
So the canal was always quiet, and no one escaped.
There are no horses, no food, and there is nowhere to run.
What's more, there is also a continuous sitting, one person has run, and the team of dozens of people has to accompany the funeral, which directly restricts their thoughts.
Due to the increase in the number of people in the canal, the progress of excavation has been accelerated a lot.
In Xinghan City, soldiers have also started a new round of recruitment.
A few days ago, Lu Chensheng had just held a funeral for the soldiers who died.
Under the grand funeral, coupled with the respect and kindness of the soldiers, many men were infected and joined the ranks of recruitment.
Originally, there were only about 10,000 soldiers, but now the number of recruits has reached 40,000. Thirty thousand are new recruits who still need training.
The number of soldiers increased, and the expenses suddenly became much greater.
However, just such a small number of soldiers are still not enough now, and Lu Chensheng needs more troops.
Xinghan City can almost only recruit these, and now it depends on Jiyun City and Vertical Border City.
"Recruitment has begun, our soldiers have a very good reputation in Jiyun City, they are very loved by the people, and with the good strategy required by the minister, more and more people have joined the ranks of soldiers, and when the concubine left, Jiyun City had already recruited 20,000 soldiers."
In fact, there is another reason why so many soldiers can be recruited, that is, the treatment of soldiers is too good.
It's late autumn now, and it's winter in a while.
This year's late autumn was not so good, the Tartars were repulsed, but such a large-scale southward movement, plus the advance time, many of the people's land was wasted.
It is worried about how to spend this year, and now that I have this military salary, it looks very rich, and I can directly eat military salary after becoming a soldier, and I also have military salary to support the old and young at home.
Under such temptation, more and more people joined the army for natural reasons.
Especially after reading the other party's military discipline, the people were very relieved to let their son join the army.
"That's good, Xinghan City has made a lot of money this year, although the cost of military salaries is huge, but it is necessary to raise such an army."
How can you do it without troops?
When the time comes, there will be no one to defend the cities that have been defeated.
According to the practice of some people, when the time comes, they will recruit those soldiers while fighting, or they will recruit some strong men to join the army, so that they can expand the size of their army.
But Lu Chensheng didn't want that.
In this way, there is really some corruption of military discipline, and with the addition of these people joining the army, it will make the original army scattered, which is not what Lu Chensheng wants to see.
It's better to directly recruit enough elite soldiers to deal with all kinds of situations.
"Over there in Jiyun City, there is Chengxue guarding it, and everything is fine."
Bai Yi then said again.
Jiyun City is recruiting soldiers, and the same is true of the Vertical Border City, which has exchanged letters before, and knows that the situation over there is also good.
Bai Yi is still quite relieved, with such a generous military salary, it will naturally be much easier to recruit soldiers.
Lu Chensheng's face relaxed slightly when he heard this, and then nodded, "That's fine, as long as there are enough soldiers, we can start next year, and finally complete my small goal." ”
Lu Chensheng had a faint hint of excitement on his face.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and now the time was finally ripe.
