Speaking of which, Deng Ai and Guan Xing are a bit similar, both of them are tiger-headed and fat.

Fat-faced Guan Xing and fat-faced Deng Ai.

But this is also when I was a child, whether it was a human or an animal, I was fat and cute when I was a child, and most of them grew crooked when I grew up.

I hope that my fat-faced Guan Xing and fat-faced Deng Ai won't be crooked, even if they are crooked, they won't be too ugly.

Guan Ping is usually like this, very casual, not at all like a Taishou adult, a little prince.

After eating, Guan Ping planned to go to the bedroom to lie down for a while, and do some unsightly things by the way, so he pulled Zhang Yu's little hand, but Zhang Yu shook his hand, shook Guan Ping, and left with Deng Ai with a tense face.

I've made the little prince weak and forgetful, and if it goes on like this, will it be okay?

It is necessary to reduce the number of intercourse.

Guan Ping is stupid, why does he seem to be unhappy?

Vignette, vignette. Guan Ping can also go to rest alone, go to the bedroom to lie down for a while, and after sleeping, he walked out of the bedroom energetically, carried his big knife weighing dozens of pounds, and went to the front yard to practice martial arts.

In the first battle of Miliang Mountain, Guan Ping once personally straddled the horse and held a knife, fought Wang Wei's soldiers and horses, and killed many people. This incident told Guan Ping that it is still useful to practice martial arts diligently, and he may need to use it at any time.

However, Guan Ping had just put on a posture and was going to practice the routine, when he saw his own soldiers guarding the gate walking in with Ma Sheng.

Guan Ping squinted his eyes and threw the big knife to a personal soldier beside him, who bared his teeth and caught the big knife while hanging on the ground without falling to the ground.

Guan Ping's knife is too heavy, and it is not for idlers to be able to hold it and move it.

The reason why Guan Ping squinted was because Ma Sheng was a little abnormal, and he saw that the blacksmith, who was as strong as an ox, was thin at the moment, as if a gust of wind would blow him down, but his eyes were extremely excited.

Guan Ping has a score in his heart, this kid must have created a new type of loom.

The loom matter is Guan Ping's top priority. Second only to the development of the population. Because if you set up a factory, you can make money.

Not only can the government generate income, but women workers also have more jobs, and when women workers increase their income, they will increase consumption and prosperity.

Commerce, trade will increase.

At present, the efficiency of the loom is relatively low, and each female worker can weave one meter of cloth in half an hour on average.

If you can increase the efficiency of the loom, then you can make a big deal out of a small one. Producing more cloth with less labor and thus increasing the factory's share of the weaving industry is only good and not bad.

Perhaps in the future, this weaving business will be able to support a medium-sized war. For example, attacking Hanzhong.

"Lord Taishou." Of course, Ma Sheng also saw Guan Ping, and hurriedly stabilized his footsteps, but he almost fell to the ground because of his weakness, barely stabilized his body, and bowed to Guan Ping.

Because of Guan Ping's order (and also because of the heavy reward of gold), Ma Sheng did his best to study the loom, and really let him lead the craftsmen to improve the loom.

Of course, Ma Sheng also stabilized and did not come to see Guan Ping immediately. Instead, the loom was experimented with, and after making sure that there was no problem, he came to see Guan Ping.

"Can you build a loom?" Guan Ping asked impatiently.

But he didn't have time to care about Ma Sheng's thin body.

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Ma Sheng clenched his fists and said.

"How much cloth can you weave in an hour?" Guan Ping said excitedly.

"Eight-foot cloth." Ma Sheng also said excitedly, this is the result of his and the craftsmen's day and night research.

Guan Ping was a little disappointed, eight feet is about two meters four.

The original loom could weave one meter of cloth in half an hour, but now it can weave one meter two in half an hour. Efficiency has increased by 20 percent.

This effect is not as big as Guan Ping imagined, if you can double the efficiency, then you will be rich.

But soon Guan Ping knew that he was so ambitious, and this kind of thing was the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors for thousands of years, and it was already very good to be able to improve a little bit.

Ma Sheng's 20 percent increase in efficiency is already very impressive.

Unless there is an industrial revolution, with the invention of the Jenny loom, the production of cloth, there will be a qualitative leap, otherwise relying on a pile of wood, even if it is improved, there will be no qualitative leap.

Immediately, Guan Ping was full of energy, and he first sent someone to send Ma Sheng to the small hall to rest, this guy is a baby.

The Almighty that turned out.

In the future, the cement will have to be made by him.

He is simply the president of the Academy of Sciences, an advanced worker.

After arranging Ma Sheng, Guan Ping sent someone to invite Li Zhong over, the businessman who wanted to cooperate with Guan Ping to open a weaving factory.

Guan Ping promised that the government would be responsible for providing the space and recruiting female workers, and the merchants would be responsible for buying cooked silk thread and marketing cloth at lower prices.

Divide the merchants into three percent of the dry shares.

The factory building has been completed a long time ago, and the nine county towns have built a factory of corresponding scale according to the scale of each county, and it is planned to recruit a total of 5,000 female workers.

But the factory has not been set up because Fangling County has been too busy lately. After all, the matter of settling the population is the first condition.

The government also had to build a corresponding number of curved ploughs and equip new waterwheels for farmers to use. I have to be busy with a lot of things, and I don't have time to set up a factory.

Now that spring ploughing has begun, everything is going well. You can also free up your hands and show your strength.

But now Guan Ping has another problem, that is, he has no money, because Ma Yan's stinky boy took 3,000 gold and invested it in something unseemly.

And the purchase of cooked silk thread requires money, and Guan Ping plans to let the businessmen pay some blood first.

Li Zhong, these businessmen, were local merchants in Fangling City, so they naturally summoned them immediately. The two met in the study, and Guan Ping said bluntly: "I have ordered someone to improve the loom, which can weave eight-foot cloth in one hour." Now there is no shortage of craftsmen in the Fangling government, and 5,000 looms can be built soon. When the loom was built, the government also issued a notice to recruit female workers. Things are already very tight, but I don't have the money to buy cooked silk thread, can you businessmen pool the money and advance money to buy cooked silk thread first? ”

Guan Ping used a tone of consultation, because it was agreed that the government would fully fund the businessmen, and the merchants would be responsible for selling the cloth and purchasing cooked silk threads, and the merchants would occupy 30% of the dry shares.

Now that the government has no money, Guan Ping is in a hurry to build a yard, so he asks the businessmen to contribute to help.

But Guan Ping believed that Li Zhong would agree to this, because the merchants lacked the confidence to resist in the face of the government. Furthermore, Guan Ping is a good official, has prestige, and the brand is okay.

Finally, the new loom has been built and the future is promising. The sooner the factory is run, the sooner they can share the profits.

There is no reason not to contribute.

"Okay." Sure enough, after Li Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment, he agreed to the matter. Guan Ping smiled, and personally took Li Zhong to meet Sun Gan, and in the future, the cooperation between the two sides will be enough for Sun Qian to represent the government.

Guan Ping, the shopkeeper, still does not control the details.

After dealing with the matter, Guan Ping came to the small hall to see Ma Sheng. After resting for a while, Ma Sheng regained a little refreshment, and ate a little pastry with an appetite.

Seeing Guan Ping coming in, Ma Sheng hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lord Taishou." ”

"No need to be polite." Guan Ping waved his hand very easy-going, and after sitting down, Guan Ping said to Ma Sheng: "Ma Sheng, you did a good job in this matter." The reward of my promise, you will go to the account office and take it later. And the last time I asked you to make cement, what happened to it? ”

Ma Sheng's face was bitter when he heard this, he glanced at Guan Ping cautiously, and replied. "Returning to the Lord Taishou, the villain has no clue about cement."

Guan Ping is not surprised by this, cement is really created out of thin air, not as easy as improving waterwheels and looms.

Moreover, Guan Ping only provided the idea that limestone can be used as a material for firing, so it is strange that it can be easily created.

There is also a great deal of urgency about this matter, but there is one thing that is also urgent.

"You put aside the cement thing for the time being, I want you to improve the paper first." Guan Ping said to Ma Sheng.

In this era, paper has appeared, and the cost is very cheap. because the material is everywhere. But the quality is not flattering.

At present, the paper is just used to wipe the butt and wrap a bag of medicinal herbs. If you write on paper with pen and ink, it will be a mess.

Guan Ping attached great importance to his cultural undertakings, and ordered Ma Jie to establish a literature museum, unify the pronunciation of Luoyang official dialect, and create pinyin usage and dictionaries.

Write a good textbook.

This is very helpful for future children to learn the written word. But there is one factor that greatly restricts this matter.

That's the price of bamboo slips.

Once bamboo slips are used, it is impossible to truly eradicate illiteracy.

Bamboo slips are too expensive.

Papermaking and printing must shine on the scene. The simple papermaking technique had already been created, and the eunuch Cai Lun had improved it to reduce the cost of the materials needed to make paper.

Guan Ping only needs to further improve the papermaking technology.

As for the printing press, that doesn't need to be created at all. Let a skilled craftsman engrave the engraving and carry out a hard brush.

Thread-bound books, must appear.

This is the most advantageous weapon in the eradication of illiteracy.

The eradication of illiteracy is not only conducive to the spread of the Chinese language, Han culture, and Chinese characters, but also uses Huairou means to integrate the Ba people, Yi people and other ethnic minorities living in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

For Guan Ping's rule, it is also very powerful.

Until then, knowledge was in the hands of the great families. Therefore, in the Cao Wei period, the family even dared to propose a hereditary system of official positions.

That is, the infamous nine-product zhongzheng system.

Although Cao Pi, the founding king of Cao Wei, became the emperor, he left a huge hidden danger, so that the emperor's power was controlled by the family.

From a long-term point of view, if Guan Ping can really swallow Yizhou and Jingzhou in the future, it will also be the cause of the overlord.

Eliminating illiteracy, increasing the number of scholars, and breaking the monopoly of the family on knowledge and official positions are also beneficial to Guan Ping.

Big benefits.

This matter cannot be delayed.
