After the research of the carding machine was successful, and it could be put into practical use after testing, Zhu Shun immediately sent someone to call the people of the textile association to hold the second factory meeting.

Half a day later, all the factory owners of the factory meeting arrived, and this time there was one more big man, the head of the new Ningbo Mansion.

The factory owners here are basically white, and the second master of the New Ningbo Mansion came over, and he didn't comply with the rules, and it was already very face-saving for the manager to come.

Normally, a steward would be sufficient.

Zhu Shun held a factory meeting this time for the carding machine: "Everyone, the carding machine has been invented. ”

Hearing that the carding machine was invented, the happiest thing was to say that the factory owners of the spinning factory could finally make the semi-metal Zhu's spinning machine fully produce.

Zhou Yuanwai was the first to stand up, turned around, arched his hand to the factory owners present, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the old man has a lot of cotton land at home. ”

"This carding machine, the old man bought a batch first."

Zhou Yuanwai can be said to be full of spring breeze recently, and his eldest son has become a guerrilla general in the fire cavalry battalion, holding a thousand heavy soldiers.

That's it, I don't know which incense to burn, it's still in the emperor's heart.

Ordinary guerrilla generals may not be able to see the emperor in their lives, but Zhou Yuji, the eldest son of Zhou Yuanwai, is good, and he can see the emperor once in a while.

Now no one outside knows that the firearms battalion is the emperor's heart, so he sent the firearms battalion to be stationed in the Forbidden City.

It's almost the same if you don't stay in the palace, and you can stay in Jingshan, which is very close to the Forbidden City.

The factory owners can only laugh and scold, let it be you, please have a meal of flower wine first.

Others can let Zhou Yuanwai because of Zhou Yuji, Huang Jingbian is not afraid, his father is about to be promoted to deputy commander-in-chief: "Outside Zhou Yuan, it's not good to eat alone." ”

"Anyway, it's one and a half."

When the factory owners heard that Huang Jingbian wanted half of the people, they couldn't help but laugh and curse again.

"Okay, just said that Zhou Yuan eats alone, aren't you kid?"

"Haha, you kid don't have to laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps, it's all the same."

"That's called a raccoon dog."

"No, no, it should be an embarrassment."

Over the years, everyone has been growing up, and Huang Jingbian's father, Huang Degong, was just a guerrilla general in the past.

With the support of the steam spinning factory, a large amount of silver was sprinkled to replace the armor and weapons of the 3,000 elites under his command, and the soldiers who died in the battle were compensated, and the ability of the new sergeants to fight greatly increased.

This year, because of his military exploits, he has been promoted to a staff general, holding seven or eight thousand sergeants.

Most of the other fathers who will seed their younger brothers have been promoted and gathered under the banner of Cao Wenzhao and Huang Degong, forming a force that is not weak.

This group of vested interests is the seed sown by Zhu Shun in the eastern Liaodong border army.

Today, I called these factory owners to come over, not to discuss how to divide the carding machine, but to have another important matter related to the people's hearts.

Zhu Shun knocked on the table and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "I called you over today, there is something important to discuss, and we will talk about the carding machine later." ”

The output of the steam factory was extremely high, and the things were cumbersome, and the factory owners rarely got together, and they wanted to make a few jokes.

Seeing Zhu Shun signaling everyone to be quiet, the factory owners restrained their jokes, and the hall returned to quiet.

Zhu Shun waited until no one continued to joke, and said again: "You feel that the mass-produced and cheap goods of the steam factory are the most affected by whom. ”

Zhou Yuanwai stroked his beard and smiled confidently: "Donglin Party." ”

"In the past few years, I have not cheated them."

"Haha-" Speaking of the Donglin Party that was pitted, it immediately caused the factory owners to laugh.

But no, the Donglin Party, which is known for its conspiracy and calculation, has expelled the Chu Party, the Qi Party, and the Eunuch Party with its outstanding ability to calculate the temple, and finally became dominant.

Who knew that when they met Zhu Shun, it was like meeting a disaster star, they were disgraced in the pit, and even the Ministry of Industry Shangshu died tragically in the hands of Ma Shiying.

Huang Jingbian retorted again: "How can it be the Donglin Party, it is clearly a Jin businessman." ”

The factory owners did not laugh this time, but felt frightened, and after listening to Huang Jingbian's words, everyone reacted.

In the past few years, there are only five major Jin merchants left, and the Huang family, the Wang family, and the Zhai family have been destroyed one after another.

"Huang Boy's words are very right, it should be Jin Shang."

"Jin Shang? The Donglin Party was pulled down with a book, and the three Great Jin merchants were not as good as a book. ”

"What you said is not right, the three major Jin merchants have an intertwined relationship in the capital, and there is still a military leader standing behind them, otherwise how could they transport so many grain and iron weapons to Liaodong, which can be worse than the Donglin Party?"

Zhu Shun's words set off a miserable meeting, and the factory owners stood in line with the Donglin Party or Jin merchants.

It's worse than the other.

Just when the crowd was arguing.

Song Yingsheng, the son of the Song family, put down the scroll in his hand.

Song Yingsheng had taken over the Song family's steam mill with full authority, and let his father enjoy Qingfu, and said with a somewhat heavy face: "It should be the people." ”

Commoners?

If the factory owners hadn't known Song Yingsheng's identity, they would have scolded them a long time ago, and the people of Shuntianfu have enjoyed the dividends brought by industrialization over the years.

Cheap flour, cheap cotton cloth, and now there are croppers who have bought a set of Eight Immortal Tables and Hats and Chairs at home.

The price of wood has dropped, and the price of the Eight Immortals table official hat and chair has plummeted, and it has begun to enter the homes of ordinary people.

It was also hit the hardest.

It should be the most beneficial.

Song Yingsheng's words made Zhu Shun set his eyes on him, but he didn't expect the eldest son of the Song family to see the current situation so thoroughly.

Song Yingsheng nodded towards Zhu Shun on the stage, and continued: "Since ancient times, most of the common people have lived a life of male farmers and female weavers. ”

"Men plough the fields and eat, and women weave cloth to supplement their households."

"The first industrial revolution mentioned by Mr. Zhu is indeed a great change in productivity, but it will also deal a devastating blow to the hand-industrial economy."

"The market is flooded with a large number of cheap Shuntian cloth, and the cotton cloth produced by the people by hand will not make any money, or even lose money."

"The handicraft economy was destroyed by industrialization in an instant, leaving the people without income."

Huang Jingbian was dissatisfied when he heard this, and shouted: "If this is the case, the people who can't survive would have rushed over and smashed all the new machinery on the edge of the Yongding River." ”

"Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

"Don't talk about smashing the new machinery, don't you see it, every time after the New Year, the people who go to kowtow to Zhu Yuanwai can block the Yellow Village."
