In the Liaodong region, there are not many ways for the Han people in Liaodong to escape. To the north is the bitter cold mountains and forests, and to the south is the sea. Aside from these two directions, except for those who fled to Daming and the grassland in the west, only those who fled to the east fled to North Korea.

For the fleeing Han people, the first choice is to flee to Ningyuan.

The Ningyuan defense line under Sun Chengzong's command ushered in the largest wave of refugees from Liaodong.

Whereas, Nurhachi made good use of the internal response to attack the city. In order to prevent the refugees from causing chaos, Sun Chengzong did not dare to accept the refugees on the spot, so he could only send the refugees to the Guannai and hand them over to the imperial court for disposal.

This huge group of refugees is not a few hundred or thousand, but is approaching more than 100,000 one after another. In the face of so many refugees, the magistrates of the Ming Dynasty were completely helpless. The refugees can only be allowed to move towards the capital.

And the refugees just instinctively marched in the direction of the capital of Daming, and it seemed that they could get a way to survive when they arrived in the capital.

When the message reached the capital, the Ming court became in a hurry.

With so many refugees, once there is a riot, it will be a major event that shakes the world.

Several court meetings in the court did not reach a clear result.

In order to accommodate these refugees, it is necessary to provide basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

For the imperial court in charge of Gonggong Wei, money was still a trivial matter. As long as there is a serious land annexation in Kannai, where is there any free land to accommodate such a large number of refugees?

The huge flow of refugees disrupted Wei Zhongxian's rhythm, and Wei Zhongxian had to suspend his reform program and deal with the refugees from Liaodong with all his might.

The arrival of the refugees from Liaodong is good news for Zhu Youzhen.

In a small courtyard in Huangzhuang, Zhu Youzhen watched the wool go from messy to messy, through a series of steps such as screening and grooming, and finally spun from the spinning machine into wool. Although the yarn is still a little rough, it is already a suitable product.

The first cart of wool sent by the Zheng family, after many experiments and explorations, finally succeeded in the experiment.

Zhu Youzhen never thought that it would take so many steps to spin wool into wool. This success is really a fluke.

"Thanks, sir?" Zhu Youzhen bowed solemnly to Xu Guangqi.

"Your Highness, there is no need for this." Xu Guangqi returned the salute, and he looked at the formed yarn with satisfaction. A new chapter could be added to his "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration".

The wool spun into wool this time has basically nothing to do with Zhu Youjian. The only contribution Zhu Youzhen made was to give instructions. can be spun smoothly into wool, Xu Guangqi is a great contribution.

Everything needed for wool spinning, from the solvent for washing wool to the machinery for weaving, was personally experimented by Xu Guangqi with the craftsmen step by step.

was able to recruit Xu Guangqi, and it cannot but be said that it was Zhu Youzhen's luck.

In this era, craftsmen made machinery in the family lineage, and there was a serious lack of theoretical basis. Most of them know it, but they don't know why.

For a skilled craftsman to make improvements to a molding machine, in addition to whimsical ideas, it takes a long time to experiment before daring to act.

They are completely relying on experience, and the optimization and improvement of machinery often takes a lot of detours and wastes a lot of time.

But these machines are completely different in Xu Guangqi's eyes, and he can easily figure out the principle. And can optimize and improve the machinery according to the principle.

Xu Guangqi's optimization and improvement of machinery in principle is much easier than empirical improvement, and the probability of success is also higher.

For example, the cotton spinning machinery was changed to wool spinning machinery, which is the best embodiment of the combination of theory and experiment.

For the changes that the craftsmen need to determine after a lot of long-term experiments, Xu Guangqi easily finds the difference in principle.

The modifications he drew up were easily successful by the craftsmen simply by making minor adjustments during experimentation.

That's where the true value of a top scientist lies.

In the courtyard of the Imperial Estate

"Your Highness, this is John Soup, a missionary from Tessie. Without his help, it would have been difficult to complete the wool carding process. Xu Guangqi introduced a companion to Zhu Youzhen.

"John Tang? The name seems to have been heard. Zhu Youzhen searched for memories in his heart as he looked at the missionary.

This is a typical foreigner with a high nose and sunken eyes, and his body is rather stout, and it is not easy to tell how old he is. Dressed as a Chinese farmer, with that face, it looks quite awkward.

"See His Royal Highness King Shin." John Tang bowed down, except for some strange surprises in his words, he was completely a Chinese scribe. This made Zhu Youzhen very curious.

Yes, this is not modern China after the Opium War.

In this era of the Ming Dynasty, China is not outdated.

"Excuse me, sir." Zhu Youzhen greeted politely, and did not show surprise.

Seeing Tang Ruowang's decent behavior, Xu Guangqi was greatly pleased.

"Mr. Tang" Zhu Youzhen pointed to the wool and asked directly, "I don't know, what is this raw material generally processed into in your hometown?" ”

Zhu Youzhen is really curious about this question. In his previous life, he had only heard the story of English sheep eating people, but he did not know what the final product of woollen spinning was.

"This," John Tang replied after a pause, "this high-grade material is usually woven into cloth to make ready-to-wear." ”

"Well, thank you, sir." Zhu Youzhen casually asked again, "How do you know Mr. Weaving?" ”

"This, the villain doesn't know." John Tang replied with a wry smile.

The little prince was really amusement, and how he knew the art of weaving cloth as a non-textile technician.

Zhu Youzhen was a little disappointed, and Tang Ruowang didn't know, so let's use this wool to knit a sweater first.

This kind of rough wool needs to be improved again in order to meet the requirements of weaving. But knitting sweaters is no problem.

For the knitting of sweaters, Zhu Youjian's only memory is that 4 bamboo sticks are worn back and forth.

What are the weaving techniques? How would he know as a big man.

However, Grandpa Mao said that the power of working people is infinite.

Zhu Youzhen now believes in this completely unconditionally.

With the wisdom of the working people, he just needs to give the way.

30 sets of bamboo skewer sweater needles in memory were distributed to the woman who was recognized as the most skillful in Huangzhuang. All Zhu Youzhen could do was simply tell them about his weaving ideas, and offered a reward of 10 taels of silver for the success of weaving.

The power of silver is great, and the wisdom of the working people is not blown.

The progress of the sweater greatly surprised Zhu Youjian's expectations.

The next day, a woman figured out how to knit a sweater.

It's genius.

Over the next few days, the women began to discover many different weaving techniques.

Since then, the pattern has continued to be renovated.

With the ready-to-wear example, Zhu Youzhen's dream wool industry can finally be launched.

In my memory, the wool mill will be a typical labor-intensive industry that requires a lot of manpower support.

The Liaodong refugees were undoubtedly his best candidate for workers.
