Since the six rooms have been determined, they will be listed for posts soon, but fortunately, after Yongkai and others moved to the dormitory, the main house of the Liu family vacated a few empty houses, which happened to be used as the office rooms of the six rooms.

However, all departments have just opened, and their respective systems have not been established, but Liu Ximing can't take care of anything else at this time, and it is only right to hurry up and make money.

Coupled with the craftsmen recruited from Zhengyuan Township before, Liu Ximing now has 106 professional craftsmen, and the quality of the new craftsmen is obviously much more skilled than the previous group of rural craftsmen, Liu Ximing soon discovered several outstanding craftsmen such as blacksmith Tang Hong and carpenter Qian Ze, but in order to avoid being promoted too quickly and affecting the enthusiasm of the previous batch of people, he can only write blank checks to these people first, and then promote them when he has the opportunity in the future.

Now Liu Ximing is mainly busy with the development of industry, after his observation in the past six months, if you want to make enough money in Sichuan of the Dameng Dynasty, there are only a few ways.

Either buy and sell grain, there is famine everywhere at the moment, and the price of grain is rising, this thing is just needed, it is fast, and the amount is large, but Liu Ximing only has a few hundred acres of land at the moment, and he doesn't have the capital to buy him in other places, so he can only put it aside first.

Either it is to resell illicit salt, which is also just needed, but it is more risky, easy to conflict with the local government, and it is not quite in line with Liu Ximing's current positioning.

The rest, through the study of various data, Liu Ximing also had to be convinced, historical development really has its own laws, summed up that the industry that has the greatest chance of making a fortune and is relatively safe is still the textile industry.

But after thinking about it carefully, Liu Ximing found that this was really the case.

First, the textile industry has a single demand for raw materials, only cotton is needed, and since the Meng Dynasty, Shandong, Shaanxi and other places are widely planted with cotton, Sichuan also has a lot of output, from these days to understand the data, Shaanxi's cotton production is still very large, the yield per mu can reach two or three stones, although the war is now, but the trade route is still open, cotton procurement is quite reliable.

Second, the Meng Dynasty textile industry is still mainly based on the family, although there are already a large number of textile workshops in Songjiang and other places, but after all, the distance is too far. These home textiles are still invented by Huang Daopo three spinning wheels, they are learning engineering, not to mention anything else, it is no problem to transform the Jenny spinning machine, of course, it is only the seventeenth century, and it will have to be called Liu's spinning machine in the future, hehe, the improved spinning machine can spin sixteen threads at the same time, which is more than five times more efficient than the original.

Third, the textile industry in the early stage is a labor-intensive industry, do not need too many skilled workers to play, not to mention the last years of the Meng Dynasty, want to sell themselves at a good price of refugees that are more, the source of workers can also be guaranteed.

Fourth, "food, clothing, housing and transportation" is the basic needs of human beings, especially food and clothing, is the top priority, cotton cloth is cheap and good, even civilians can afford it, which means that its demand is strong, as the upstream industry of the textile industry, Liu Zhaolin does not have to worry about market saturation.

Finally, cotton cloth is not a rare object after all, as long as it is not publicized everywhere, it is not easy to attract the attention of local predators.

As long as you let yourself go through the farming period, hehe, if you want to make up your mind again, first ask me Lao Liu's iron rod if he agrees.

Moreover, Liu Ximing also has a secret weapon, that is, the land in the space, as early as when recruiting Yu Yongkai and others, Liu Ximing took into account the problem of planting cotton, and specially set aside an acre of land to cultivate cotton and other species.

Of course, because it has only been bred a few times, it is definitely not as long as the lint of American cotton, but it is much better than the current market, and the space production must be a high-quality product, Liu Ximing himself is a little looking forward to what the cotton cloth spun will look like.

After the last spatial mutation, the land area inside has increased to 35 acres, and this time the homeless people expanded, Liu Ximing still repeated the old tricks, and expanded the space area to 100 acres by pretending to be a ghost, an increase of 65 acres.

But Liu Ximing found another bad news, the growth conditions of this space seem to be constantly improving, it only takes about 20 people's beliefs to increase 1 mu, but this time it is 25 people who can increase 1 acre, which scared him for a while.

Liu Ximing left 10 acres to continue planting and cultivating rice, and the rest was used to grow cotton. Originally, according to his estimates, the yield of cotton per mu should also reach about 10 stones, who knows if it is because of the decline in the richness of spiritual water, or because Liu Ximing extracted too much spiritual water from outside the space, and at present, it can only produce about 9 and a half stones per mu, which makes Lao Liu depressed.

Cotton can only be regarded as seed cotton from the cotton plant, and it must be gowned out of the cotton seed, this cotton fiber can be called "lint", and now the cotton clothing ratio on the market is about 3:1, that is, 3 catties of seed cotton can produce 1 catty of lint, but the cotton clothing ratio produced in Liu Ximing's space can reach 1.5:1, which is really a good thing.

Now there is smoke everywhere, the price of cotton is surging upward, and it has risen from one or two or five cents per stone to two taels per stone, plus the loss of labor and raw materials, Liu Ximing estimates that the cost of spinning a stone yarn on the market is about six taels and five cents.

A piece of cloth in the Meng Dynasty is three feet and two feet long, about ten meters, and one foot eight inches wide, that is, about half a meter, which is a total of five square meters. A piece of cloth with yarn is six taels a catty, which is equivalent to two catties in modern measurement, and the price of each piece of cloth is one dollar and six cents, so a stone yarn can weave seventy-five horses, with a total value of about twelve taels.

You must know that the cotton produced in your space is cost-free, and after the technical improvement of the labor cost is reduced, you can also push the price to a piece of cloth and a penny, and you will not be able to occupy the market at that time.

In this way, 90 acres of land can earn 6,840 taels of silver a month, and it is estimated that there are more than 6,000 taels after deducting labor.

"Hahaha, the business of the king starts today."

"What a common man today, I'm really happy." After carefully calculating, he found that the money was bright, and Liu Ximing was even more confident, and he kept his hands and feet, and hurriedly drew the design of Jenny's spinning machine.

But after all, it is a modern person, and he can't say how familiar he is with these, Comrade Liu also specially found a three-spindle spinning wheel to come over, and brought Qian Ze and a few other carpenters and people with good weaving skills to come over to discuss together, a group of people pondered for a few days, plus Liu Ximing mentioned it on the side, and finally made the Jenny spinning machine.

Although the Jenny spinning machine is a product of the 18th century, it is actually just an upgraded version of the spinning machine, so its structure is not complicated, mainly to change the original horizontal placement of spindles to vertical arrangement, so that multiple spindles can work together at the same time.

The Liu family has thoroughly understood the technology of the three spinning machines, but it is not difficult to design this Jenny spinning machine, and because the technical span is not large, all the parts of the Jenny spinning machine, including spindles, rollers, tension rods, transmission belts, etc., do not exceed the technical level of the current era.

"Owner, this thing is really a divine object, isn't it five or six times faster to spin yarn with it than ordinary machines." Qian Ze and the others looked at the finished product and their eyes widened, and a group of people never thought that they could change the spinning machine to look like this just by changing their thinking.

"Ahem, this spinning machine will be called Liu's spinning machine in the future, everyone pay attention to confidentiality, and Ding Fang will sign a confidentiality contract with each of you when you go back, whoever leaks the news, I can't spare him."

Liu Ximing repeatedly told the participants, no way, the technical content of this spinning machine is not high, others can learn the past soon, and how to seize the market when the time comes, but at the moment there is no need to worry too much about leaks, Liujiacun is now not connected to the outside world, everyone is working, eating, and sleeping every day, and there is no place to say if they want to leak.

Coupled with the feudal superstitions that the Liu family has engaged in so many times, Liu Ximing is still somewhat mysterious in the minds of the whole village, and the secrecy has been further improved.
