Zhu Shun returned to the Beijing Normal University Hall and learned about the attack, first called the sniper team over, severely reprimanded them for the loophole in their defense, and deducted the monthly money for this month and let them go back to reflect.

But what Zhu Shun didn't expect was how lofty his status was in the eyes of these croppers who had never read any books, and the sniper team who felt deeply guilty decided to commit suicide collectively that night.

Fortunately, Hu Blind, who had already taken off his official uniform and became the head of the sniper team, discovered the situation in time during the night patrol and stopped the sniper team, which prevented a tragedy from happening.

The next day, Zhu Shun learned about this from Hu Blind, and he couldn't help but be afraid, forgetting that he handed over the militia training manual, which is known as one of the three magic weapons of crossing, to the second uncle.

This thing can develop a strong iron will, a firm faith.

Zhu Shun had no choice but to slap and tell the first sniper team that as long as they could get the first place in this month's training, they would be given the breech-loading rifled guns first.

The sniper team, which was distracted and ready to commit suicide at any time, immediately raised their morale and swore to win the first place.

After dealing with the sniper team, Zhu Shun found the clever Song Shiyi and praised him for his quick reaction to catch the bandits.

Before he could say a few words, Song Shiyi took out a drawing: "Teacher, this is the 300-spindle spinning machine that Lecturer Wang said." ”

Zhu Shun originally thought that the drawings were the second disciple's breakthrough for the second-generation loom, but he didn't expect it to be a 300-spindle spinning machine that spun more yarn, and understood what the second disciple meant.

Presumably it was the incident that Mrs. Song gave him five hundred taels of silver some time ago, which let him know that the Zhu family was very short of money now, so he first improved Jenny's spinning machine.

Song Shiyi is worthy of being one of the top inventors of the blowout, not to mention the improvement of the Jenny spinning machine in just a few days, half of the parts have been replaced with metal manufacturing, and it already has the prototype of the spindle worsted spinning machine.

The spindle worsted machine, which is made entirely of metal, can spin 400 spindles at first, and the final shape can reach an astonishing 900 spindles.

One spindle worsted spinning machine is equivalent to 900 spinning women.

Zhu Shun rubbed the little golden boy's head, and said with a flat smile: "Shiyi, you mentioned this matter, and I will tell you some reason as a teacher." ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Shun asked Song Shiyi to call the eldest disciple Song Shihui and the third disciple Jiao Miao, and when the three disciples arrived, he continued: "In the industrial era after the first industrial revolution, the fundamental reason for the mass production and cheapness of various items lies in three words. ”

"Industrial chain."

"Let's not talk about the economic aspects of this, let's only talk about industrial production today."

"To put it bluntly, it's actually two words, matching."

"Take this 300-spindle spinning machine as an example, the 300-spindle spinning machine can indeed be manufactured and put into production, but at most 130 spindles can be spun at the same time, and it will be the limit."

"Because of the last process of spinning, the cotton sliver is still a manual production of the small-scale peasant economy, and it cannot keep up with the speed of the 300-spindle spinning machine."

"Only after the initial industrialization of the cotton sliver process, and the spinning of 300 spindles in the next process, can the two machines be completely operational."

"And with the shuttle loom, the initial industrialization of the textile system is realized."

Song Shiyi's dripping face, a rare seriousness, asked seriously: "Teacher, that is to say, what is most needed now is to invent a cotton sliver machine?" ”

Zhu Shun nodded, looked at Song Shihui and Jiao Miao, who were also thoughtful, and continued: "That's right, the current priority is to invent a cotton sliver machine, also known as a carding machine. ”

"The carding machine has two major functions, one is to clean up the broken seeds, impurities, and linters in the cotton, and the other is to collect the clean cotton into a certain specification of cotton slivers, which are stored in the cotton barrel and waiting for the spinning machine to be extracted and used."

Zhu Shun looked at the black and thin eldest disciple Song Shihui, pondered for a while and said, "Shihui, the teacher knows that you want to research a new type of cotton, a kind of red cotton or green cotton that is equivalent to the purple cotton of Songjiang Mansion. ”

"As a high-priced cash crop, let the people plant it, and grow more silver on the limited land."

"There is also a truth in the production chain, such as the chemical fertilizer that the teacher talked about before, with chemical fertilizer, the land can grow more new cotton, so that high-priced cash crops can become more productive."

Speaking of which, Zhu Shun won't say anything, it's easy to be greedy and chew too much if he talks too much, but it's just that the industrial chain is enough for them to chew for a while.

Song Shiyi suddenly interjected: "Master, this kind of carding machine is also too powerful, and it solves the problem of impurities and tampons in cotton at the same time." ”

"In particular, the problem of impurities in cotton has taken a lot of time to clean up the cotton, which has greatly increased the price of cotton."

"If we build a carding machine, the mills can buy cotton at a lower price."

"For example, the cost price of a load of cotton is seven cents of silver, and it takes three cents of silver to clean up the cotton, and the cotton farmer earns another two cents of silver, and the final purchase price is twelve cents of silver."

"If the process of cleaning cotton in the middle is omitted, cotton farmers sell it for one tael of silver, not only making a penny more than in the past, but also saving a lot of time, which can be used to do long-term and short-term work and earn more silver."

"For the workshop owners, it is also a cost saving, which is simply a win-win situation that the teacher often says."

Song Shihui, who has always been silent, said coldly: "Three wins." ”

After saying this, he didn't say anything, and continued to be silent, Zhu Shun set his eyes on Jiao Miao, hoping that he would express his opinion.

Who knew that this kid was copying the fat cuffs, and his two hands were moving around in it, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with.

Zhu Shun smelled a faint smell of gunpowder, presumably this kid was fiddling with the cannon again, patted his head lightly, asked him to pay attention, and said again: "That's right, it's a win-win." ”

"Cotton farmers make more money, and the mill owners make more money, and the price of cotton cloth is also lowered again."

After saying this last sentence, Zhu Shun waved his hand and asked them to go to work, stood up and went to Zhang Tao, and told him to pay attention to safety recently, and it is best to say hello to the sniper team when he goes out, so that the sniper team can divide two people to protect him.

Walking near the thatched house where Zhang Tao was, Zhu Shun actually saw something that only existed in later generations, but he didn't expect Zhang Tao to invent it so early.

Zhu Shun quickened his pace and walked over, Zhang Tao, who was cutting rubber, put down the scissors and rubber in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Shipeng, show you a good thing." ”
