In fact, Lang Tingzuo also felt that Geng Jimao would not give up.

This person inherited the cruel character of his grandmother, and anyone who has an enemy will take revenge fiercely. The Ming army humiliated him so much that he almost lost his life, how could Geng Jimao endure this evil breath?

And Geng Jimao and Shang Keg's gratifying situation is different.

Shang Kexi and his son Shang Zhixin are in the hands of the Ming army, and they will definitely throw a mouse bogey.

But Geng Jimao had no such concerns at all. If you let go of your hands and feet, you can at least cause some trouble to the Ming army.

It's just that...

Lang Tingzuo felt that he couldn't take the initiative to stick to Geng Jimao's cold ass.

It is true that this person has a grudge against the Ming army, and I am afraid that he does not have a good impression of the Qing court now.

In this case, if Langtinzo rushes over again, I am afraid the effect will not be good.

If you think about it carefully, the only one who can be relied on at the moment is Shi Lang.

I don't know if it's sad or lamentable.

It can only be hoped that the imperial army will go south, and at that time, they will have a chance to turn defeat into victory when they are flanked from the north and south.

...

...

In the Forbidden City of Nanjing, Zhu Youlang convened an official of the Ministry of Labor to discuss important matters.

Now there are five or six provinces under the actual control of the Ming Dynasty, which is not too much, but it is definitely not less.

If Zhu Youlang has always focused on fighting wars before, then there is no problem in focusing on the technology tree now.

After all, only when the science and technology tree is lit up, can the Ming army and the Ming Dynasty develop in a more reasonable way.

Zhu Youlang first focused on the textile industry.

The handicraft industry of Daming is very developed, and weaving is not a problem.

But there's one problem, and that's efficiency.

If the centralized production is carried out in the name of the imperial court, a batch can still be produced, but it can't be pressed by will every time, right?

For example, the military uniform of the Great Army.

Zhu Youlang has always wanted to unify the military uniform for the Ming army, which will help distinguish between friend and foe, and cultivate a sense of identity and honor among the soldiers.

But there is an obvious problem, that is, it is difficult for more than 200,000 people to produce clothes in a short period of time.

Even if all the weaving craftsmen in Nanzhili and Zhejiang are added together, I am afraid it will not be enough.

You must know that this is not a refined line like weaving dragon robes for the royal family, it is a quantity.

I'm afraid this amount will scare people to death.

Of course, in the future, with the expansion of the Ming army, the number of military uniforms required will increase dramatically.

The existing weaving technology is certainly not enough to meet the demand.

So Zhu Youlang is ready to imitate the Jenny machine to solve this problem.

The Jenny Machine is an iconic product of the British Industrial Revolution.

In a way, the Jenny even represents the Industrial Revolution.

Whether it is the elderly or children, as long as they mention the industrial revolution, they generally think of the Jenny machine.

It not only greatly improves the efficiency of weaving, but also reduces the cost of weaving to a large extent.

After all, weaving used to be done by hand.

In the case of huge labor costs, it will definitely lead to the price of not getting it to go up.

In this case, in order to reduce costs, one is to introduce competition, and the other is to improve efficiency.

The latter effect is more pronounced.

How can we improve efficiency?

The easiest way to do this is to get a machine.

The cloth woven by Jenny may not be as delicate as handmade, but it is completely sufficient.

Zhu Youlang didn't want to use Jenny machine to make a dragon robe, and he didn't have such high requirements.

When Zhu Youlang was studying in Europe, he visited a museum in the United Kingdom, and he was very interested in Jenny Machine, and he consulted a lot of materials afterwards.

Although it may not be possible to reproduce the entire structure of the Jenny machine, the large frame can still be built. He also remembered the core components.

Although Zhu Youlang studied industrial design at the beginning, he took sketching because he was interested in art.

It can be said to be a combination of a science and engineering man and a literary youth.

This experience was very helpful for him to recreate the Jenny machine.

Zhu Youlang first drew a sketch, and then dismantled the key components from a perspective perspective, restoring the Jenny loom to the greatest extent.

He then described in detail how the Jenny machine works on a single page, not only in terms of the principle but also in some details.

This is undoubtedly extremely helpful for the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

Although they had never heard of the Jenny Machine, after His Majesty the Emperor's explanation, they were basically able to imagine what the Jenny Machine looked like.

Of course, there is a specialization in the art industry.

They definitely can't build a Jenny machine.

They were only responsible for transmitting His Majesty's intentions to the craftsmen.

There are countless craftsmen in Nanjing City, and it is not difficult to realize the intention of His Majesty the Emperor to make this Jenny machine.

Zhu Youlang was very satisfied with the reaction of the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

At first, he was a little worried that these officials would not be able to understand Zhu Youlang's intentions.

But now it seems that these people are very smart.

We still can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

Judging by the available resources, it should only be a matter of time before they make a Jenny machine.

Zhu Youlang is not a person who thirsts for perfection.

He also knew that the Jenny machine he had built for the first time would not be as perfect as the sample he had seen.

It doesn't matter, slowly iterate and improve slowly, and one day you will be able to reach that perfect state.

Zhu Youlang is now looking forward to the popularization of Jenny machine more and more.

That means that it can not only solve the problem of military uniforms of the army, but also benefit the people to the greatest extent.

Mass production means reducing costs, and when the cost is very low, even the poorest people can wear new clothes.

Isn't the so-called prosperity just a time for the people to eat and wear clothes?

After the officials of the Ministry of Industry stepped back, Zhu Youlang scribbled on a piece of paper again.

There are a lot of similar things in his mind, and he may not remember it as clearly as Jenny Machine, but Zhu Youlang is trying to restore it as much as possible.

After all, if you can remember some of the help to Da Ming, it is very great.

Another reason that prompted Zhu Youlang to do everything in his power to build these advanced machines was that he found that he could no longer enter the museum space.

Perhaps it was after he fought Huguang and prepared to march into Jiangxi that his connection with the museum became weaker and weaker.

At first, I tried a few more times and I was barely able to get in.

But in the end, no matter how much he turned it, the jade seal just couldn't enter that museum space again.

This is not a good thing, which means that Zhu Youlang cannot directly obtain gun supplies.

He must rely on his industrial knowledge base and existing resources to light up the tech tree as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, in the next Northern Expedition, the Ming army would have no obvious advantage at all.

Imitation is not so easy, in Wuchang Zhu Youlang ordered craftsmen to study flintlock pistols and Prussian cannons.

The craftsmen all said that it was completely impossible to make with the existing technology.

Zhu Youlang also asked the same thing after coming to Nanjing, and the result was naturally the same.

Jenny Machine is just a pilot and a start, and there are many, many more waiting for Zhu Youlang to do.
