Chapter 23 Industrial Conception

After returning to Yangzhou, Zhu Hao returned to Zhufu and showed his face, and hurried to the base non-stop. Luo Yunqu had already arranged Wang Boda and the others properly.

The bandits who were willing to follow Zhu Hao left a total of about 400 people and more than 1,000 family members, and Luo Yunqu arranged these family members to a nearby grange and began to train young and strong.

Zhu Hao took out a part of the 400 people and assigned it to other old squadrons, and then transferred some veterans from other teams to form two squadrons, with Wang Boda and Shang Cailian each leading two squadrons, and Wu Cai as the staff officer of the army, and everyone had no objection to this arrangement. He also arranged for Li Dong to pay compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers, 100 taels per person, 30 to 50 taels for each of the wounded, and 20 taels for the rest, and even the bandits who surrendered also received 10 taels of silver each, and everyone was overjoyed, which further enhanced Zhu Hao's prestige. Although more than a dozen people were killed in the battle, the atmosphere was a little sad, but it was quickly diluted by the festive atmosphere, because our Zhu Dashao was getting married!

Zhang Jinyu was heartbroken about Zhu Hao's marriage, and he couldn't bear to disturb him when he saw that his son was busy with military training.

"Son, your marriage can't be delayed any longer, the Chen family has also sent people to urge us several times, we have made an appointment with the master of the Chen family, and the eighth day of the first month of next month is an auspicious day for you to get married." Zhang Jinyu said undoubtedly.

"No, mother, there are still more than ten days, it's not that my son doesn't want to, is it too late in such a short time?" Zhu Hao scratched his head a little.

"You don't have to worry about it, your father and I have already started to prepare, you just wait to be your groom, alas, your father is almost sixty years old, and his mother is more than fifty people, in order to hold my grandson, I am sick quickly, you have to be considerate of us." Zhang Jinyu used both soft and hard, pretending to wipe her tears.

"Okay, okay mother, you can arrange everything, I still have to take advantage of this time to do more things, I'll go first." After saying that, he ran out as if he was running away.

The inner hall of the Earthquake Mountain Dart Bureau.

"Dad, why did you let us join the Zhu family?" Liu Fangze was a little puzzled, as soon as he and Liu Maozong came back today, Liu Zhenshan called the two of them to talk and asked them to follow Zhu Hao in the future.

"It's all decades ago, when my father just built this dart game, because of an important dart problem, offended a big man, was forced to almost break the family, thanks to the Zhu family for me to protect the difficulties, these years I have been thinking about repaying the favor, always no chance, now the young master of the Zhu family is young and promising, there will be great achievements in the near future, I don't think people can be wrong, he is short of people, you two martial arts have just become, help him in the past, one to repay the father's kindness, the other to run a future, the three of you usually get along well, Dad doesn't have to worry about it, you don't have to worry about family affairs, everything is handled by Dad and your eldest brother. ”

Liu Zhenshan explained the reason in a rambling manner, Liu Fangze and Liu Maozong's uncle and nephew had no objections, originally they were close to Zhu Hao as brothers, but now they have an extra layer of relationship, and the two feel that there is nothing wrong with following Zhu Hao.

The day of the big wedding is getting closer and closer, and the Zhu Mansion is busy and dizzy, but Zhu Hao is like a nobody, not caring about his marriage at all, and taking Li Dong and the Liu family's uncles and nephews around.

The troops are stepping up training, and the expansion of the armory room is also being carried out in an orderly manner, Zhu Hao has allocated most of the money from the cottage to the armory room, Xu Sanduo and Bi Zhonglin have a clear division of labor, one is in charge of production, and the other is in charge of research, anyway, the funds are abundant, and the two of them also pulled in some craftsmen who knew each other but had an urgent life, and recruited a group of apprentices, reaching more than 100 people, temporarily solving the problem of lack of manpower, Xu Sanduo also imitated the previous equipment, imitated and improved several equipment, This makes the production efficiency of muskets much more efficient. Up to now, a total of 200 improved electric switches, 20,000 shell shells, and more than 2,000 ignition dragon cannons have been produced. Muskets and bullets are highly classified, and both are presided over by the most trusted craftsmen, so the production is not large.

After Bi Zhonglin successfully developed the bolt-type electric switch, Zhu Hao asked him to put his mind on artillery to see if he could build a Franc machine, and in the future large-scale battles, artillery is a must-have.

Military training is in charge of Luo and Zhang, the armory room is operated by Bi Xu, Zhu Hao has nothing to worry about for the time being, so he put his mind on how to make money, the Zhu family's financial resources are no problem to support a small number of troops, but in the future, the army will be expanded, and there are still a lot of places that need money, so it is a little difficult, and it is even more unreliable to rely on the imperial court to allocate food and salary, and the poor emperor in the palace is about to be pants, and to ensure the control of the army, you can't rely too much on others, you can only find your own way.

After listening to Zhu Hao's suggestion last time, under the auspices of Zhu Ying and Zhang Chang, the Zhu family's business began to transform intensively, purchased and built hundreds of looms, and began to purchase a large number of raw silk and hire workers to produce.

Zhu Hao considered that there are too many workers at present, it is difficult to reduce costs, it seems that the improvement of textile machinery is imminent, he suggested that Zhu Ying select some skilled and active workers, and invited a few craftsmen to form a loom research group to study new looms, textile machinery does not have much technical content, the requirements for materials are not high, Zhu Hao judged that it will not take long for the new loom to come out, and the output will be greatly increased at that time, and the cost will be greatly reduced.

However, Zhu Hao did not limit his vision to the textile industry, textile as a traditional industry, the domestic market is basically saturated, and now it is unrealistic to expand foreign markets, so it is necessary to develop new industries and new products, Zhu Hao thinks about it, according to his own ability, there are currently two industries can be tried, one is women's products, mainly underwear series, the other is matches, which are relatively easy to produce goods. However, he can't do it himself, so he can only come up with ideas and find someone else to take care of it.

The production of matches is relatively easy compared to other chemical products of later generations, mainly for the rational use of phosphorus and sulfur, our country has invented primitive matches since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it is inconvenient and unsafe, so it has not been continued, Zhu Hao asked Bi Zhonglin to find a few gunpowder craftsmen, taught them the basic principles, and the rest is up to them to explore.

As for women's underwear, it is simpler, mainly to test the skills of the tailor, the difficulty is how to beat the product out, you must know that the etiquette and atmosphere of the feudal society determine people's behavior, underwear can only find a breakthrough first, and slowly cause social repercussions, so that women must take care of this business.

After thinking about it, I didn't think of a suitable candidate, there was only one woman under him, Shang Cailian, who was still a female man, and it was impossible to find her. The third sister, Zhu Ying, is busy with orthodox business all day long, it is difficult to separate, and no one is available!

Zhu Hao was a little helpless, he had to think about everything, it was really brain-consuming.

I didn't sleep all night, the next day Zhu Hao took Li Dong and the uncle and nephew of the Liu family to the street to relax, the matter of exterminating the bandits had already spread quietly, many people were impressed by the notorious second ancestor, and there were good people who recognized him along the way to greet him, Zhu Hao smiled and returned the salute one by one, with a modest attitude, and everyone looked at this arrogant and arrogant prince who did not learn in the past, as if he had changed a person, and cheered for him.

Zhu Hao sighed a little, the people of this era really love and hate, and he just showed a small hand and left a good impression in the hearts of the people. As long as you sincerely seek the well-being of the people, why worry about people's uncertainty.

Just thinking about it, Li Dong's obscene voice came to his ears: "Young master, there is a place to drink flower wine, look ......"

"Huh?" Zhu Hao raised his head and glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Lichun Courtyard? Isn't this Lord Wei's territory, is there really such a place? I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, I came to this world and witnessed a lot of coincidences.

"There you go, brothel!" Zhu Hao suddenly thought that the underwear industry would open from a brothel! The girls here are doing everything they can to keep their clients, and underwear will definitely open up the market in these places, so it's time to find a reliable agent to come forward.
