Chapter 62: The Third Jenny

Zhu Shun returned to the palace of Wang Gong's factory and found that there was still a lot to be done, and the Zhu spinning mill had to expand, and only by expanding to a certain scale could it provide a steady stream of silver for the study of steam engines.

It also costs money to build a new school, not to mention a steam engine ship, a bottomless pit that swallows silver.

This is a real world, the first industrial revolution can only be built step by step, from the official debut in the Ming Dynasty has been almost a year now.

At present, there are only two Jenny spinning machines on hand, and Zhu Shun also wants to research many things from the first industrial revolution at once, such as steam engines, steam engine ships, steam trains, etc.

It's a pity that the conditions don't allow it, there is no silver, and there are no new-style students.

Zhu Shun could only compile books in the public hall with his head down, and first compile the teaching materials, and the grass platform team of the new-style school would be easy to build.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as there is a beginning, the first industrial revolution can be set off step by step according to this beginning.

Month.

The third uncle, Zhu Zhongli, carried a pound of pork and walked back to the courtyard humming Kunqu Opera, and the Jurchen army was still on the outskirts of the city, cutting off the supply of materials from the capital and outside the city.

Pork has skyrocketed from one dollar and eight cents of silver a pound to four dollars of silver a pound, catching up with the price of goose meat in the past.

Although the hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine is not as good as the water-powered spinning machine, after removing various costs, it still earned thirty taels of silver this month, and the third uncle Zhu Zhongli divided six taels of silver, and the rest was handed over to Zhu Shun.

With money in his hand, the third uncle Zhu Zhongli bought more than two stones of brown rice, and the rest of the money was only enough to buy a pound of pork, otherwise he would like to sell half a pound of wine.

Zhu Shun started building the third hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine seven or eight days ago, and when the yarn was sold at the end of the month, he handed over the money to Ambassador Zhang of the Ordnance Bureau, and brought the hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine back.

Zhu Shun was directing several younger brothers in the courtyard to install a hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine, and when he heard the Kunqu opera that was back and forth, he knew that the third uncle was back.

Looking at the back door, the third uncle really walked in from the back door: "Shun'er, how is the third spinning machine?" ”

Zhu Shun walked over and shook it twice, the hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine spun, and the third uncle Zhu Zhongli saw that the spinning machine was turning, and shook the pork in his hand happily: "There is still a lot of sugar left from the last time I made sugar nests." ”

"Today, the third uncle will cook himself and cook you a meal of Dongpo meat."

There are a total of thirteen people in Zhu Shun's family, and they have to eat hundreds of catties of grain every month, and now the price of food is so high, the money earned by Zhu's spinning factory will be used to build a new Jenny spinning machine.

Zhu Shun hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and when he heard that Dongpo meat was eating, he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Zhu Shun, who was about to have a big meal at night, didn't know that the Donglin Party was about to move again, and impeached him with the help of the Beiping Firearms General Bureau.

The Chongguo Temple Tea House, where the Ministry of Officials is located, was originally a place of meditation and meditation, but now it has become a vegetable market.

Many members of the Donglin Party are cautiously discussing how to impeach Zhu Shun, where to start, and how to implement it.

The Donglin Party has suffered three big losses in a row on Zhu Shun, and has to be treated cautiously, for fear that Zhu Shun's tricks will be pitted again.

There are many views and many different plans among the members of the Donglin Party, but there is one point that is unanimous.

Absolutely no longer participate in any gambling games, especially those related to Zhu Shun.
