The discovery of this case of plague aroused the great attention of Chongzhen and the elites in the DPRK and China, and the epidemic prevention bureau, which had not been stopped for a long time, began to act again.

Zhu Shun, who had been wandering around the Zhu's Spinning Factory and the Jingshi University Hall, did not have the spare time to care about the affairs of the Epidemic Prevention Bureau, and after dealing with some matters of the Wang Gong Bureau, he rode the little donkey to the Song family's textile workshop.

The Song family's textile workshop is not close to Wang Gongju, and now it is almost noon, and there is a depression in all parts of Beizhili, and there is no longer the prosperous scene of a wine shop in ten miles and a tea shop in five miles.

There was no wine shop and tea shop on the road that sold food, Zhu Shun sat on the back of a little donkey with an ancient building to solve lunch, and took a sip of the cool white in the kettle from time to time: "The spinning mill now has seven Jenny spinning machines. ”

"Five of them are responsible for providing yarn to the Song family's workshop, and the remaining two are responsible for providing yarn to Lu Yuanwai's workshop."

"If you add Jenny spinning machines, no one wants the yarn produced, after all, the Song family workshop and the Lu family workshop can no longer eat it."

"Therefore, if you want to expand the spinning mill, the most important thing is to let the two downstream workshops eat more yarn."

The larger the scale of the Zhu's spinning mill and the more money it makes, the faster Zhu Shun can develop the steam engine, so the main plan this year is to expand the Zhu's spinning mill.

If a modern industry wants to expand, it depends on the size of the market, and the price of yarn produced by Zhu's spinning mill is far lower than the price on the market, and basically has almost unlimited market potential.

It's a pity that Zhu Shun tortured the Jin merchants to death, and of course the most powerful merchants in the Ming Dynasty would not let Zhu Shun go, and in a word, Zhu Shun's market was narrowed to only two textile workshops.

In order to expand the scale of Zhu's spinning mill, it is necessary to first expand the scale of the two weaving workshops downstream.

The second disciple, Song Shiyi, is studying the water-powered loom, and in two years at most, he will be able to let those Jin merchants who think they control the cloth market see what the power of the industrial revolution is.

With only these two weaving workshops, they can pry into the huge cotton, linen, kudzu cloth and even silk markets in the north, bringing an earth-shaking earthquake to the cotton textile industry in Daming.

Zhu Shun went to the Song family workshop today to expand the scale of the downstream, although there is no hydraulic loom yet, but there are other ways for the Song family workshop to eat more yarn.

Riding a donkey on the official road for most of the day, I used to see curling smoke every few miles, but now I can't even see a ghost.

Riding from the Lugou Bridge carved with a lion cub, it didn't take long to come to the Song family's workshop, and the Song family's steward was sitting at the door knocking on the plan.

When the steward of the Song family saw Zhu Shun coming, he put down the account book and abacus in his hand and took the initiative to respond: "Ambassador Zhu is here to find the third master, or the fourth master." ”

Zhu Shun came here to sell more yarn, of course, to find Song Yingjing, the fourth master of the Song family: "I'll come to find the fourth brother." ”

Song Shihui and Song Shiyi, two world-class geniuses, worshipped Zhu Shun as their teacher, and Zhu Shun and several masters of the Song family are equals, although they are more than 20 years older, even if they are 50 years older, they are also equals according to their generation.

The relationship is also closer than before, and it is reasonable to shout a fourth brother.

The steward of the Song family pointed in one direction and said with a smile: "Ambassador Zhu has come to the wrong place, the third and fourth masters of my family are in the porridge shed over there." ”
