Chapter 216 Decide on the path of industrialization
Sometimes, Cao Yan likes the slow pace of ancient times,
For example, the construction of this city, Cao Yan has been away for two months, and the city is still the same old appearance, which has not changed at all.
Of course, there has been a great change in the mental outlook of people.
This year, the situation in Jiangning Mansion is also much better than in previous years, at least, it is much better in terms of food and clothing.
The roadside is no longer full of shivering poor people huddled in the corners of the city wall in the winter, as long as they are not lazy, they can find things to do in the workshops outside Cao Yan City that build houses, make iron, build ships, etc.
For this reason, many people thanked him in their hearts.
This is what Cao Yan is most satisfied with, because it is linked to the good guy value in his system.
When Cao Yan appeared in Jiangning Mansion again, the people who saw him obviously had the same expression, that is, they were stunned for a moment, then they saluted or bowed, and some even hurriedly returned to their homes, took out the things they felt best, and handed them over to Cao Yan.
This makes Cao Yan a little chaotic along the way.
Fortunately, Cao Yan had a lot of guards, and he stopped those enthusiastic people.
Later, even Li Zhutou, who was patrolling the streets, came with his subordinates and shouted: "Don't stop Mr. from doing things, you don't want to disturb Mr., right?" ”
These words made those people leave eggs in tears, and the tea slowly retreated to both sides of the road.
"Why is that?" Cao Yan asked a little confused, with Li Zhutou who was sweating profusely.
Who knows, Li Zhutou first wiped a handful of sweat, and then gave Cao Yan a big salute.
This made Cao Yan even more confused.
"Sir, I'm afraid I don't know, the people near Jiangning Mansion have at least eight floors, let's help Mr. set up an immortal card." Li Zhutou looked at Cao Yan with respect.
"Why?" Cao Yan was a little puzzled, he was born as a modern person, he didn't know the meaning of this matter, although he had heard about it in books before, but he didn't think that he could get so much favor from them.
"Hehe," Li Zhutou was laughed at by Cao Yan's question, "Mr. has done all this in the past six months, and he still needs someone to explain it?" ”
Cao Yan was a little puzzled, he didn't feel that he had done much, didn't he just raise the price of grain and sell grain, and open some fast food restaurants? Did you run a newspaper twice for food?
But Cao Yan forgot that the big fight came out, and the small fight entered this allusion, and it all depended on the fact that there was no such allusion in this world, and he was still under the banner of the empress in the newspaper, pulling Xiang Yixin to do these things together, otherwise Cao Yan would only be able to pull the flag and rebel now.
……
When I arrived at the door of Rodming's house.
Luo Ming was waiting for Cao Yan in the door early in the morning.
As soon as he saw Cao Yan get out of the carriage, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Well, this thing is for you." Cao Yan took a small bag from Lin Ruyi's hand beside him and handed it over.
"What is it?" Luo Ming asked.
"Clothes drawings."
"Clothes drawings?"
"Well, I taught you how to make clothes." Cao Yan replied.
"But we can make clothes." Joke, how many years of cloth merchants in his family, who can't make clothes, has long gone out of business.
"Do you want to? Don't give me back. After Cao Yan finished speaking, he made a gesture to get it back.
"Yes! Yes, how not. Luo Ming smiled as he opened the bag.
Inside are drawings one by one.
"What is this?" Luo Ming didn't understand it very well.
"Go in, take something and talk!" It's hard to explain that there is no physical object like this, and Cao Yan doesn't want to waste his saliva.
"Good, good!"
……
After visiting the elders of Luo Ming's family, he found that even the old lady of Luo Ming's family had a woolen ball next to him, and after adding four bamboo sticks, Cao Yan secretly shook his head for them, this is really a fight!
Under the leadership of Luo Ming, Cao Yan and the others came to the workshop where clothes were made.
Look at the respectful subordinates standing on both sides.
Cao Yan is still a fine tradition of giving full play to his ability to speak and never do anything.
He instructed the girls who came with him, "Draw the cloth according to the drawing." ”
"Got it, father." A few girls agreed, took the triangle board, compass, angle ruler, and other tools in their hands, opened the drawings that Cao Yan had just handed over to Luo Fatzi, and drew them according to the lines.
Compared with the ancient clothes, the drawings that Cao Yan took out were much simpler.
In fact, this is also a waistcoat, but there are a few intersecting strips of cloth at the sleeves.
The sleeves are also relatively independent design, which is also in the position of the cuffs inside, with a few strips of cloth, if you want to fight it can form a complete dress, of course, if the weather is hot, you can also remove the sleeves and turn it into a vest.
As for the mezzanine, the clothes are sewn into checkered and filled with wool, and that's it.
It's simple, practical, fast, and the key is that the ready-to-wear is very fast.
These skilled tailors, to say the least, have been making clothes for I don't know how many years, and when they saw this, it didn't take long to understand what Cao Yan meant, and they immediately divided into several groups of people to complete different steps.
is also because there is no sewing machine, otherwise Cao Yan looked at their neat appearance, he felt that if such a piece of clothing was made into an assembly line operation, it was estimated that it should not be a problem to make thousands of pieces a day.
But should I get the sewing machine out? If it is made out, will it have an impact on the people at the bottom?
With this kind of question, Cao Yan decided to ask the professional Luo Ming.
"Fat Luo, I want to ask you a few questions." Cao Yan frowned slightly and said.
Luo Ming withdrew his gaze from the tailors who were looking at the clothes, turned his head to look at Cao Yan and asked, "If the master has anything to say, just ask directly." ”
"If, I say, if there is something that can make the tailor many times faster, will it make the lives of those commoners miserable? Well, you know what I mean, right? Cao Yan thought about the words for a while, and then said.
"Hehe," Luo Ming laughed, he didn't answer Cao Yan's safety, but asked a question: "Master, what kind of people do you think my clothes are bought for?" ”
Well, Cao Yan felt that he understood, this clothes, poor people, are weaving cloth by themselves, making clothes by themselves, so doing more and less of this thing has little to do with those poor people, plus, after more than 100 years of annexation, there are more and more landless farmers.
If you vigorously develop industry yourself, you only need to pay the wages in place, and then you can make these people at the bottom rich.
It seems that he is also going to learn reform and opening up, and he has crossed the river by feeling the stones.
Seeing that Cao Yan was contemplative and not speaking, Luo Ming was a little anxious, judging from his understanding of Cao Yan, Cao Yan would definitely not be untargeted, so he hurriedly asked again: "Does the master have a way to improve the efficiency of the tailor?" ”
He learned the word efficiency, and he has been with Cao Yan for a long time, and he understands the meaning of many new words.
"Yes, but isn't the amount of this cloth a little too much to keep up with now, and is there enough raw material?" This textile industry is a labor-intensive industry in the future, of course, this must be able to keep up with the raw materials, Cao Yan asked a little worriedly.
"Actually, master, you are a little worried, next year we are going to plant cotton on a large scale, and the purchase of wool should be able to go to a higher level, and Jiangnan itself is the largest silk and hemp producer."
"Okay," Cao Yan made up his mind, the road of industrialization must be taken.
Otherwise, if we continue to follow the road of agriculture, we will not have much prospect for development.
And some sacrifices are inevitable on the way forward, and in a situation like the present, the lives of the poor are not much better! So how bad can their life be when they run their own factory? In case of any accidents, I can go back to other countries to subsidize myself!
Thinking about this, Cao Yan suddenly smiled.
He patted Luo Ming on the shoulder, "I'll show you something good in a while." ”
This time, Cao Yan didn't want to use his armor to shape items, and he recruited so many blacksmiths and craftsmen, but it was no joke.
I have not allowed them to participate in the production of precision items, which is tantamount to erasing their development, and this time I have to test their level.
So this time, Cao Yan is going to disassemble all the items and make a sample, let those subordinates take them to the blacksmith shop, and let the craftsmen find a way to produce according to the sample.
