Soon after her marriage, Huang Yueying devoted herself to her mechanical transformation career.

But this time it's not military equipment.

It's a loom machine.

Originally, Xu Ding wanted to wait for Xiao Er to reveal the information, and then directly hand it over to the people below to enjoy the results.

But Xiao Er's task has been stuck, and the system has been upgraded recently, so he simply found someone to invent it himself.

So the glorious task fell on Huang Chengyan.

But the old man was a rare machismo and insisted that it was only a woman's job, so he didn't do it, but went back to study his steam engine.

Xu Ding had no choice but to tell Huang Yueying about it.

Huang Yueying, who was almost at the end of her research on ordnance, also needed to change her thinking, so she took the initiative to share her worries and take over the job.

Xu Ding didn't want her to explore alone, so they worked together to help sort out their thoughts.

The two worked hard for half a month, and finally came up with a finished product - a textile machine driven by a steam engine.

That is, the original spinning hammer that had been placed horizontally was changed to a vertical erection, and nine more were added, becoming ten side by side.

As a result, dozens of yarns can be spun at the same time, which greatly increases the speed of weaving.

After a simple wipe, the machine had no problem and ran smoothly.

There is also no significant difference in the quality of the spun yarn.

Xu Ding knew that this was a success, and Huang Yueying's face was also filled with a happy smile.

"Husband, we have succeeded again, with this kind of steam engine-driven loom, we can produce gauze faster, and we can produce a lot of cloth in the future, so that more people can afford to wear cheap clothes." Huang Yueying said excitedly.

You must know that cloth in this era is quite expensive, even sackcloth, and most people can change it frequently.

Many people take years or even tens of years to change their clothes.

Without it, the clothes and fabrics are expensive, and the second is backwardness, many people are weaving by themselves, not to mention the backward production capacity, and they can't make money.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, let's take a look at the speed of this machine compared to manual work, and see how many people a machine can top?" Xu Ding hugged Huang Yueying and gently patted her fragrant shoulder, with the same proud smile on his face.

Huang Yueying nodded lightly, and then let fifteen textile girls compete with a machine.

Half an hour later, the results came in.

The machine narrowly won the race.

"Yes, although it is not an absolute advantage to win, but a machine can top fifteen people, it is very good, this is only the first one, there are many improvements, and the operator is not familiar with it, if the operator adapts to the machine, it is okay to fight twenty people at the same time." Promise to give full affirmation, the age of the machine is coming, this is unstoppable, must be encouraged.

Huang Yueying also said: "If you put more spinning hammers, you can change to a large scale and rationalization, and it is okay for a machine to top 50 people." ”

Huang Yueying is a real expert in machinery, and her words were immediately approved by everyone.

Fifty people on top of one machine, oh my God, how much cloth can be produced in a day.

"From now on, I want to set up a textile factory, get a hundred machines first, give me full power, and I want to reduce the price of cloth under my rule by more than two-thirds." Xu Ding announced to everyone present, and immediately greeted everyone's cheers.

The price of cloth has dropped, and the children will have more new clothes.

You don't even have to cut it for the New Year, you can buy one every quarter, and whoever you change is happy.

Coming back from the simulated competition venue, Xu Ding asked people to find Mao Jue.

Mao Jue came over and asked, "Is the lord going to allocate funds again?" ”

Although he did not go to see the weaving machine against manpower, according to his knowledge of Xu Ding.

As long as you let Xingding get started, as long as it is something he tinkers with, it will definitely succeed.

And with Huang Yueying, a mechanical genius, the textile machine that I want to make up will not be bad.

It is inevitable that machinery is faster than manual and has more advantages than manual labor.

Weiyuan Island, Qingzhou Pingzhou's machinery industry has proven everything.

So Mao Jue knew that Xu Ding was going to set up a textile factory.

Xu Dingdao: "It seems that Xiaoxian you thought you were prepared, that's right, this time through the comparative test, the speed of machine weaving is more advantageous than people, I decided to set up a small textile factory first, to build a hundred such finished machines."

At the same time, there are garment factories and printing and dyeing factories; With unified procurement and production, which are specially used to produce our army's unified military uniforms, shoes, hats, and so on, we can reduce a large amount of expenditure every year in this regard. ”

Mao Jue roughly calculated, and the cost of purchasing these factories is about the same when compared with the benefits saved.

That is to say, this is just the left hand out and the right hand in, and it does not cost much money and food, but the funds of the treasury are used, which pulls the GDP and promotes the development of machinery manufacturing.

Of course, it also liberates women's productivity.

"What does the lord mean that in the future, when the machine matures, textile factories will also be established in other states and counties?" Mao Jue asked.

Xu Dingdao: "That's right, this is just the beginning, and machines will inevitably replace most of the manual labor in the future, especially those simple processes."

At that time, I will first build a plush-related textile factory and quilt factory in Liaodong, establish a linen textile factory in Pingzhou, and set up a large factory in Qingzhou at that time. ”

"Then I understand." Mao Jue now knows what to expect.

Don't look at the fact that there are more than 3 million people under Xu Ding's rule now, which looks like a lot, but the area under his jurisdiction is relatively too large.

The reality is that there are too few people, many places are extremely barren, and there is still a lot of undeveloped woodland.

Therefore, it is very necessary to replace all kinds of traditional work with machines.

This is just like the United Kingdom in later generations, the land is vast and the population is small, and only industrialization and industry can make the national output increase and accumulate wealth quickly.

Soon after Mao Jue left, Guo Jia came in a hurry, different from the previous leisurely walk, this time his face was very solemn, and there was a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows.

Even Dian Wei called him a few times at the door, and Guo Jia only responded perfunctorily and entered the hall.

"My lord, something is wrong, the alliance of the major princes, this time they are really going to send troops to attack us." Guo Jia came in first, Xu Ding raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:

"Originally, I thought they would have some scruples, but now it seems that I still overestimate them, let's say, who are they?"

Guo Jiadao: "Liu Bei of Bingzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu of Yuzhou, and Xianbei Budugen. ”

"There are only six families, and there is one foreign clan, not very many, but I didn't expect Meng De to be in a hurry to stand in line, it seems that the last incident made him a little worried." Xu Ding shook his head slightly, obviously Cao Cao had disappointed him a little along the way.

Guo Jiadao: "By the way, the lord, Sun Jian and Liu Biao were also invited, but both of them were silent and did not express their position, according to the news from the 'Tianluo Net', Cai Mao has been in frequent contact with the world's third largest assassin organization in Jingzhou recently, and the members of the 'Desperate' have left Jingzhou, as if they have entered Xuzhou, which is my Qingzhou and Tao Qian, and the specific intentions are unclear.

Therefore, Jingzhou's attitude is a little weird, and in the direction of Yangzhou, I guess he wants to wait and see what kind of fight we have with the coalition forces. ”
