Chapter 14 Hydro-Spinning Mill Scheme
It's hard to leave your homeland.
The local complex of the common people of Daming is very strong, and now several ancestral patriarchs in Yanchi Village are willing to abandon the ancestral graves of their ancestors for him.
Abandon your hometown where you don't know how many generations you have lived in, become a homeless together, and escape to a land full of unknowns.
Wang Youzhen's heart was very touched, and he stopped his grandfather who was about to agree: "We don't have to leave Yanchi Village uprooted." ”
"As long as it can drag on for a month, I have my own way to bring down Sun Baohu."
Several patriarchs of the ancestral hall usually don't give Sun Baohu face, but Sun Baohu's domineering is beyond doubt.
Just saying that the fifty or sixty gang tigers raised by Sun Baohu's family are enough to destroy the entire Yanchi Village, after all, there are only one hundred and fifty or sixty people in Yanchi Village.
In addition, Sun Baohu had a deep relationship with the yamen, and he could borrow a group of officers and soldiers with silver.
Unless Sun Baohu suddenly fell seriously ill and died violently, otherwise in this Ming Dynasty, which was controlled by bureaucrats and gentry.
Ordinary people like them, who are at the bottom of the salt class, will never be able to bring down the contractors who are responsible for the salt class.
Wang Youzhen said that he was able to bring down Sun Baohu in a month, which brought unbelievable to several ancestral hall patriarchs, even surpassing the 100-spindle spinning machine.
It's like someone told them that men can have babies and that the sun will come out in the west.
However, thinking that this sentence was said by the little immortal, several ancestral hall patriarchs didn't believe it in their hearts, but they still chose to believe it.
It's just that the price of this belief is a bit big, blocking the lives of one or two hundred people in the entire ancestral hall.
Wang Youzhen saw that these ancestral patriarchs had no intention of continuing to leave, and obviously decided to stay in Yanchi Village.
The idea of letting the people at the bottom live a good life has become even stronger.
Because.
He also knows how heavy this trust is.
After talking about this heavy matter, the next thing to say is a relaxing and pleasant thing to relieve the solemn atmosphere in the backyard of the ancestral hall.
Wang Youzhen walked to the side of the 100-spindle spinning machine and patted the 100-spindle spinning machine that was running: "Next to our village happens to be Weishui, which runs through the two prefectures. ”
"Water resources are extremely abundant."
Water resources?
Several ancestral patriarchs didn't understand what these words meant, and if they didn't understand them, they thought they were immortals and pondered them carefully.
Wang Youzhen put on a coat of a little fairy, everything is unreasonable, it is very reasonable.
Otherwise, with his cautious and cumbersome temperament, he would never say words that the Ming people did not understand.
Wang Youzhen is deliberately cultivating a habit of his own, deliberately saying some words that the Ming people can't understand, and the details are very meaningful.
In the future, even if you meet those masters who are full of poetry and books, you will feel that Wang Youzhen has a university question.
Wang Youzhen knew that several ancestral hall patriarchs couldn't understand, so he paused and explained: "Weishui flows from Qingzhou Mansion in the west. ”
"It runs through Laizhou Mansion, where our village is located, and flows into Laizhou Bay in the north."
"The water flows fast, and the dry period is relatively short."
"It is completely possible to use water power instead of manpower or animal power to weave spindles."
Can running water still spin spindles?
When several ancestral hall patriarchs heard such a beprising sentence, they almost knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Youzhen again.
I was very conflicted in my heart, I didn't believe that the river could spin yarn spindles, and I believed what Wang Youzhen said.
If the river can really spin yarn ingots, it is also a new immortal spell used by Wang Youzhen.
The general meaning of Wang Youzhen's words was actually to establish a water conservancy spinning mill on the bank of Weishui in the east of the village and start spinning spinning spindles with water power.
In this way, the 100-spindle spinning machine completely got rid of the manpower and animal power in the era of small-scale peasant economy, and greatly improved its efficiency.
Second, by equipping each ancestral hall with a certain number of spindle spinning machines, he could use a water-powered spinning factory to completely turn Yanchi Village into an industrial class, and the entire Yanchi Village was under his control.
Thirdly, and most importantly, there is the issue of security.
Wang Youzhen has seen the wisdom of the Ming Dynasty from the matter of Sun Baohu, as long as he starts large-scale textile spindles, he will definitely reveal all kinds of clues.
Not to mention anything else, it is the bulk cotton bought every month, and once it is traced, it cannot be concealed.
Since he couldn't hide it, Wang Youzhen decided to simply put it on the bright side and build a water-powered spinning factory in Yanchi Village.
On the bright side, it is a spinning workshop that occupies a large area, and there are water-powered spinning machines placed inside.
Wang Youzhen roughly said a few words to several ancestral hall patriarchs, so that they could have the bottom of their hearts and no longer be panicked because of Sun Baohu.
As for the detailed content in this, I can only tell my own family members like grandpa and second uncle.
Wang Youzhen has done a lot of things in the past few months when he was recuperating at home, and he has already chosen the address of the hydro spinning factory.
In addition, about the construction of the plant, the parts and components needed to transform the 100-spindle spinning machine into a water-powered spinning machine were told to the grandfather in detail.
With his grandfather leading the establishment of a water-powered spinning mill, he can go to his next step with complete peace of mind.
Wang Youzhen finally said a few words to several ancestral hall patriarchs, and turned around to talk to the second uncle about some things.
Evening.
It was getting dark.
The steward of the Sun family really took fifty or sixty helpers and the dozen or so birds, and quietly touched the entrance of the village.
Before he could rush in, the steward saw the person he wanted to see, and he also saw a person he didn't expect.
The person I miss is naturally Wang Yanren, and what I didn't expect was the red-haired businessman who hitched up with Xiangma.
The steward immediately made a decision and shouted in a low voice: "I'm going to do it, even this red-haired ghost will be killed together." ”
But before he could help the tiger, the steward decisively asked the tiger to stop what he was doing.
They didn't know when a large number of young and strong salts appeared, but the steward just glanced at them, and basically determined that more than 100 young people in the entire Yanchi Village were here.
What really made the steward decide to stop was not these salt dices, but a sentence from the red-haired ghost merchant: "There are ...... here Sevenths and a half cents of silver a pound of spindles...... How much and how much to have. ”
The red-haired ghost's words were intermittent, and there were some preambles that didn't match the afterword, but the steward understood the meaning of this sentence.
The red-haired ghost wants to do business with the Sun family, or how many sevenths and a half cents of silver a pound of yarn ingot business.
Where is the steward willing to let the tigers do it, as long as they take the line of the red-haired ghost, the great wealth of the Sun family will really come.
That's seven and a half cents of silver a pound of spindle, and how much more you need.
As long as the Sun family can monopolize the spindle of seven and a half cents of silver alone, it can monopolize the spindle business of the entire Changyi County and even the entire Laizhou Prefecture.
