"I understand a little......" Chen Zhengzhi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The cloth produced by this spinning machine is thick and strong, but the efficiency is dozens of times higher than that of hand-weaving, which invisibly reduces the cost a lot.

As long as there is enough cotton, it is produced in large quantities, and it is sold at a slightly lower price than dumped, and the profit is many times higher than before.

"Mingda, you are really capable of anything...... Chen Zhengzhi praised excitedly after thinking about it.

"Fu Muzhi is the first credit." Xu Zixian said with a smile: "I just provide ideas and methods, and I really have to rely on talents like Fu Muzhi to really succeed." ”

"I want to reward the shepherd."

"Of course." Xu Zixian smiled at Chen Zhengzhi and said aloud to everyone: "If the trial spinning wheel is successful, Fu will be rewarded with 3,000 yuan to join the army, and the participants in the entire project will have their own rewards, and no one will be disappointed." ”

Of course, Fu Qian's water-powered spinning wheel will not be the credit of one person, in addition to the water-powered spinning machine, there are also water-powered looms, in addition, Xu Zixian has a few ideas that need to be implemented by Fu Qian, and there are several groups to help Fu Qian, all of whom are craftsmen and miscellaneous masters who are from Fujian Road.

Of course, these people also hope to be rewarded, and after hearing Xu Zixian's words, everyone is thunderous with joy.

Of course, the one who made the most profit was Fu Qian, and his reward of three thousand yuan was enough to make people jealous.

Ordinary people can save five or six yuan a year, and they have to have a good year.

Fu Qian's current situation is equal to the annual income of a county magistrate and the net income of 500 households for a year!

"Thank you, Prince." Fu Qian looked happy, bowed down and said, "I must work hard to make the equipment that the prince envisioned, especially the affairs such as table clocks and telescopes, all of them." ”

"Take it easy." Xu Zixian smiled: "Don't be tired of yourself, and don't be tired of others." I have the money here, and you are waiting to get it. ”

Everyone laughed, and Chen Zhengzhi smiled and said to Xu Zixian: "Mingda, I'm afraid this hydraulic loom will be hindered by the location, right?" ”

"Yes, that's right." Xu Zixian said: "It is necessary to choose a river with enough water flow, and at the same time, it is best not to have an obvious dry period throughout the year, otherwise the water will be cut off or slowed down, and the machine will be broken." It is best to make some water storage facilities, store water during the high water period, and release water during the dry season, which is the safest way. ”

"I'm afraid it's not suitable here in Nan'an?"

"I'm going to put it in the Eastern Domain." Xu Zixian explained: "I heard Uncle Jiu say how many streams there are in the Eastern Domain, saying that it is a stream, but in fact, the water flow is turbulent, and there is no obvious dry season throughout the year, which is quite appropriate. ”

There are several famous streams in Taiwan, fresh water storage is of high mountain origin, all the way into the sea, there is no problem with water conservancy, Nan'an is close to the Min River, there are also tributaries, but the depletion period of the water potential is much longer than the streams in Tainan, and it is not very suitable.

The most important reason is that although Nan'an is under Xu Zixian's control, it can't be said to belong to him completely after all.

The Eastern Domain is different, one of the defense envoys is Chen Duzhong, the ninth uncle of the Chen family, who is regarded as his own person, and all the households are owned by Xu Zixian, and the land of Kai Ken is also owned by Xu Zixian according to the laws of the Great Wei.

In fact, in the past 200 years, it is not that there have been no rich families who have gone to the Eastern Domain to plead, but few people have made a real determination to throw millions of dollars to this desolate island, which can be regarded as a blessed land given to Xu Zixian by God.

Such a large island, fully developed, can accommodate hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in the Tainan Plain, coupled with the continuous overseas trade, it is not possible to be cut off from trade by the Dutch like the Zheng family, and it is still easy to stand on its own.

Even if you can't defeat Donghu on land, at least there is a room for regression, an overseas foundation, this is a major event that Xu Zixian had conceived at the beginning of the crossing, and now it has finally come to the point of realization step by step, Xu Zixian is impossible, and will never give up the foundation of the Eastern Domain, placing a large-scale textile factory in the Eastern Domain, plus opening up the cotton field, is the first step to implement his plan.

"Except for water conservancy." Xu Zixian said to Chen Zhengzhi: "The nobles of the clan are not allowed to operate factories according to the regulations, and this is not the case in the Eastern Domain. ”

"I see." At this time, Chen Zhengzhi's doubts disappeared in his heart, and he smiled: "Mingda really has a heart. ”

The Eastern Domain encouraged development, and many laws and regulations were quite taken care of, such as the clan could also set up factories, which was also expressly allowed.

Although the laws and regulations are abolished now, for example, the clan in Jiangling also secretly set up factories, but Xu Zixian, a clan like Xu Zixian, who has attracted the attention and attention of the imperial court, had better act carefully, so as not to be caught by others and cause a lot of trouble.

"The manufacture of a spinning wheel is not an easy task...... Xu Zixian continued: "The cost of a spinning wheel is about 100 times, take your time, and wait until August and September, you can make more than 300 machines, plus some single-pedal machines and looms, and there will always be a large number of stocks in the Eastern Domain before the year." ”

"I hope so." Chen Zhengzhi agreed, this time the Changwen Marquis Mansion was tied to Xu Zixian as a whole, of course, he hoped that everything would go well.

"Mingda, when will you go to Qizhou to take office?"

Chen Zhengzhi is also quite curious, according to Xu Zixian's temper, he has settled down here, and he has also gone to Fuzhou Fucheng once, so it stands to reason that it is time to take office.

"Go to Fucheng tomorrow and meet His Royal Highness King Qi, please be opportune." Xu Zixian smiled: "I know there are floating discussions, they are all bastard babies, don't pay attention to it." Think about it, I don't have a water camp boat master here, what can I do to fight Chen Yutai? ”

"Yes, we know your difficulties too." Chen Zhengzhi said with some indignation: "It's just that some dizzy people came out to stir up trouble...... Wei Yanke is not here, otherwise his penmanship is good, and he can argue for you in the newspaper. ”

"Those who are clean are self-purifying, and now public opinion is that someone is bent on roasting me on the stove." Xu Zixian said with a smile: "I was too strong in the limelight before, and I was not afraid of anything if I suffered a loss, and the real smart people could see it at a glance." ”

"We're afraid you're still young." Chen Zhengzhi said with relief: "It is easy to be irritated by people under impulse, you can see it, we are all relieved." ”

"My roots are in the martial arts." Xu Zixian said calmly: "If the martial arts are not practiced, it is useless for anyone to provoke me." ”

……

In the early morning, Fujian Road in early March is still slightly cool, and after the sun comes out, it is spring and warm, and even a little stuffy feeling comes out.

After entering the camp for a few days, today the new soldiers began to officially receive equipment, number plates, and compile a roster, which can be regarded as officially entering the camp.

But the current waist card is still a temporary card, and if you want to change it to a formal warrior's waist card, you still need to work hard.

Huang Laigui, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, stood in the crowd like a giant, and the robes issued to him were specially handed over to a few women to be made overnight, which was several sizes larger than ordinary people's.

The robes of the military guards are mainly cyan, the Great Wei Forbidden Army is still red, the red flag is red, and when the forbidden army is dispatched, it is like a sea of red.

The gray-black robe of the military is much more ugly in color.

The warriors were originally also gray and black, but from the fourteenth year onwards, they were changed to cyan robes, and gray and black were used for training, for no other reason, that is, they were resistant to dirt.

Xu Zixian is scheduled to go to Fuzhou this afternoon, and before leaving, he is still surrounded by Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Zhang Huchen and others, and watches the new military soldiers in the school field to receive the license.

Each new soldier is lined up separately, according to his place of origin, name, age, height, weight, one by one to write a book, and register.

Then receive the card, each card is written with his place of origin name, height and physical appearance, not allowed to lend others to enter and leave the camp without authorization, of course, it must not be lost, and the offender will be punished.

After receiving the waist card, then lead the army robe, every five people are a team, set up a temporary captain, eleven people are a tithe, and set up a temporary chief.

Each tithe is registered with the waist card, receives the robe, and then changes clothes uniformly.

After a few days of queue training, at least all the new soldiers knew about lining up and followed orders, so the scene didn't look chaotic.

All the old robes taken off are collected, and each recruit has a new identity.

The well-fitting and one-color uniform, the waist badge hanging from the waist, the queue, the flag, these things all have a strong psychological hint, and at this moment, all the soldiers clearly understand their new identity, and this moment will be remembered for a long time.

The old warriors trained as usual, training on the other side of the school field, and the sound of fighting was quite loud, spreading to the new warrior group here.

Huang Laigui already knew that his brother had become the boatswain of Fu No. 1, and his parents were going to be taken over, his heart was full of joy, expectation, and the expectation of integrating into the collective.

Many people looked at this big man, including Nan Anhou, Huang Laigui was a little nervous and scared, but he didn't dare to bow his head, and still maintained a military posture of raising his head and looking directly.

Each tithe is given a small flag and a flagpole, which is managed by the chief.

He has a shield on one side, a long one, an iron armor or leather armor, and an iron helmet.

According to Xu Zixian's idea, all the staff are bound to armor, but now the financial resources are far from meeting this need, even if it is long, it can only ensure that each person has a leather armor or chain mail.

In addition, there are four archers, one leading bow, two strings, ten heavy arrows, twenty light arrows, two insert pockets, a horizontal knife, a lunch box, an iron kettle, a knife, a small purse containing flint, a cow belt, a pair of leather military boots, and a pair of training boots.

There are six people, one leader, and the rest of the kettles, lunch boxes, and knives are the same as the archers.

Originally, there was still a long axeman, but considering that the recruits were still standardized training, and then decided whether to be a ricketer or an axe hand according to the difference in height and strength.

Xu Zixian also planned to make up two shield players in each of them, so that long and short weapons, protection capabilities, and long-range attacks were all ready.

However, this will weaken the formation, and if the archers are reduced, the ranged attack power will be insufficient.

Now Xu Zixian hopes to develop the artillery as soon as possible, so that the lack of long-range attack power can be changed to artillery output, the archer will be reduced, and two shield players will be added, and the number of long-term players will still be six.

Each post has three shi, each has three posts, and each battalion has five posts, which is roughly the same as the military system of the Wei army's forbidden army.
