Chapter 41: The Iowa Rifling Machine
Gold brick is also called dry kiln Beijing brick, is a kind of tribute brick specially spread in the palace of the Forbidden City and the mansion of dignitaries, the texture is delicate, and the sound of gold and stone can be made when knocked on it.
A dry kiln Beijing brick costs fifty taels of silver, even if it is a high-grade fine porcelain, it is only three or five dollars of silver, because the price is too high, so it is also called gold brick.
Huang Yonggui didn't expect that this Western businessman was really a knowledgeable owner, and he would exchange his mouth for gold bricks, which was a good thing with no price.
Now don't say it's a gold brick, even if it's a hundred taels of Doucai chicken bowl cups, as long as it can be exchanged for a hundred spindle spinning machines, Huang Yonggui will also find a way to get a batch of Doucai chicken bowl cups: "Western master, let's make a price." ”
The cost of the water-powered spinning machine is only twenty taels of silver, or the Jenny spinning machine equipped with a water-powered transmission device, which can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, Zhu Shun Lion said with a big mouth: "Two hundred taels of silver." ”
Huang Yonggui nodded and said with emotion: "I didn't expect the Western master to be so kind, let's make up our minds." ”
"I want a hundred of these spinning machines."
According to the calculation of two hundred taels of silver, one hundred water-powered spinning machines are twenty thousand taels of silver, and after Zhu Shun knew about the gambling from Wang Chengen's mouth, he already knew that he had cleaned up Huang Yonggui's family property in the capital.
Unexpectedly, Huang Yonggui's hometown still has so many industries, and it seems that he still underestimated the strength of Jin Shang.
Zhu Shun was worried that Huang Yonggui, who had slowly come to his senses, would find a flaw, after all, the Jin merchants who could buy such a big business, all of them were elites, so he ended the conversation as soon as possible: "Huang, in a month, we will trade in Liangxiang County." ”
Hearing that the location of the transaction was in Liangxiang County, Huang Yonggui nodded with satisfaction, this kind of treasure is good to have it alone, Liangxiang County is a good place to be clean.
After finalizing this matter, Huang Yonggui, who was reluctant to return to his hometown in Shanxi, couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back, and after respectfully saluting the Western master, he left here in a hurry.
Zhu Shun watched Huang Yonggui's figure gradually disappear by the canal, and smiled faintly.
The Gyeonggi Massacre began in Yangxiang County.
The yarn of Zhu's spinning factory solved the problem of sales, and with money, the first thing Zhu Shun did was to pay the three female workers a monthly payment, because it was delayed for a few days, he really couldn't go, and he gave them an extra five cents of silver.
After settling the cotton money outside the Zhou Yuan, he gave him the dividends of the third uncle, and took it back to buy rice to support the family, and there were twenty-one taels of silver left.
It's just enough for the material money of a water-powered spinning machine, and it's an extra silver tael.
Zhu Shun bought fir wrought iron from Wang Gong Factory out of his own pocket, and took out an extra tael of silver and handed it to several craftsmen, so that they could build parts.
These parts look like nothing individually, and only when the parts are assembled are a water-powered spinning machine.
There are many people and great strength, and it only took a few days to build the parts, and Zhu Shun pulled the parts to the Zhu's spinning factory after the ya, and assembled the parts little by little.
On the edge of the Yongding River, Zhu Shun looked at the second water-powered spinning machine that started to run, and couldn't help laughing: "Two units a month, four units in two months, eight units in three months, and sixteen units in four months." ”
"One water-powered spinning machine can be doubled to more than 2,000 units in just one year, and this exponential growth is really refreshing."
It's not cool, this feeling of doubling layer by layer made the third uncle next to him feel a sense of fear, and the multiplication was too exaggerated, so exaggerated that the third uncle Zhu Zhongli thought it was just a dream.
In just one year, from a poor family that almost couldn't even make up twenty taels of silver, to a big businessman who earned more than ten thousand taels of silver a year, who would dare to believe it.
Zhu Shun knew that the third uncle around him couldn't understand it, even if he came to the first assistant, he couldn't understand it, there was no way, this was the power of the first industrial revolution.
Zhu Zhongren, the father standing at the front, slapped his chest violently, and almost smashed the patched clothes: "Doesn't that mean that next year's father and I will also be the master." ”
Zhu Shun hurriedly cooperated and shouted: "Master Zhu, the little one will retreat." ”
Zhu Zhongren turned around, looked at his son who was walking away, and scolded with a smile: "This little rabbit cub is gone." ”
Thinking of one thing, Zhu Zhongren looked at the dizzy third child and kicked him: "San'er, don't stand stupidly here, hurry up and contact the matchmaker, it's time for our old Zhu family to prosper incense." ”
After saying this, Zhu Zhongren really walked away with his hands behind his back, and before he had walked a few steps, he suddenly remembered one more thing, and turned around and said, "Our family is now considered to be outstanding." ”
"If you want to find some good ladies for your children, remember one thing, family is not important, but you must be knowledgeable."
The third child, Zhu Zhongli, heard the eldest brother say a sentence of literary crepe, hehe: "Knowing the eldest brother, you can rest assured about this matter." ”
"But the first thing we do, don't we buy some meat and go back first to satisfy our cravings?"
Hearing that he wanted to buy meat, Zhu Zhongren, who is usually very generous, kicked the third child, and said with a tiger face: "I know how to eat, we have to save money now, and save the money to make this kind of thing that spins in the water." ”
The third child, Zhu Zhongli, has always had a person who wants to spend two of his life, where will he listen to the words of the eldest brother, take advantage of the darkness of the female worker to go home to rest, and secretly go to the restaurant to buy three Dongpo elbows.
It happened to be one for the family, and after eating, I went to the second brother to discuss the recruitment of female workers.
The second water-powered spinning machine was built, and the military line of Wang Gong Factory was also on the right track.
Zhu Shun sat in his own workshop and began to build a second machine.
Iowa rifling.
The Iowa rifling machine is also a relatively simple precision machine tool, although it is simple, but it involves a lot of mechanical knowledge.
The ancients who did not have this kind of knowledge could not have built an Iowa rifling machine, no matter how simple it was, and besides, they didn't even know what rifling was, let alone build a rifling machine.
Compared with the parts used in the Iowa rifling machine, there are many fewer parts, and Zhu Shun only took three or four days to draw the structural drawing of the Iowa rifling machine.
The details have also been scrutinized, and then you just need to build it according to the drawings.
The main body of the Iowa rifling machine is also made of wood, and the choice of wood is very important, and good fir wood needs to be used.
Zhu Shun selected the wood, and he picked it for most of the day, looked at the fir wood in front of him, rubbed his temples and smiled: "If it is a handmade rifling, even an old craftsman will need several months." ”
"But with this Iowa rifling machine, it can be drilled in a day at most."
"The hydraulic drilling machines in Wang Gong's factory are increasing, and it is estimated that a hundred units are enough, and if there are more, Chongzhen will not have so much money to make flintlock pistols."
"In this way, only 100 Iowa rifling machines are needed to meet the needs of production."
