When the new hydro factory started and the first batch of cotton yarn was spun, many people who got the news were a little shocked. Among them, of course, Tian Xiuying's father Tian Hongyu, is different from the previous heavenly family, because of the special harem and new mechanism, Tian Xiuying is the only person in the entire harem who has a legal public identity, and he has a unique transcendent status. Although over the years, because of his understanding of Xiao Xuan to a large extent and avoiding some historical lessons, Tian Hongyu has been cautious on many issues from Tian Hong's encounter with Tian Xiuying, but at this time, Tian Hongyu finally planned to beat his daughter.

When I visited my relatives after the New Year, I couldn't help asking: "Back then, my daughter used to be the king's right-hand man on the battlefield, and even government affairs and government affairs did not help to deal with them. Why do things like today seem to be as uneasy as many of our Tian family's old people? ”

Hearing this, Tian Xiuying said bluntly: "Of course, the king has also said this matter unceremoniously: he said that people are born in the red dust, and the old environment will inevitably be affected in one way or another, such as relationship culture and face culture, which is easy to suffer." In fact, similar imperial merchants could have reopened a long time ago, but it was because of many concerns that the monarch had to do this when the new generation of newcomers was already available to a large extent. They don't have many acquaintances, relatives and friends who have various interests to worry about, so they can avoid all kinds of management shortcomings to the greatest extent. But father don't worry, you have to believe that the interests sought by the king are obviously not only that, the king is rich, and our benefits will definitely not be less... ”

In fact, at the beginning, Xiao Xuan was not sure that these new inventions were not long ago, and the related manufacturing equipment had just been tested in the workshop affiliated to the Central College, and the textile machinery could maintain its original quality when it began to be put into large-scale operation in a real sense.

However, about half a month after the factory was fully operational, the daily output gradually increased after the initial familiar stage, and the cotton yarn produced seemed to have the original quality level, and the daily output had obviously not decreased, which made Xiao Xuan feel even more gratified.

With such quality, in fact, it is obvious that it cannot be compared with the cost of ordinary cloth, because it is at least equivalent to two or three taels of silver and one horse of three-shuttle cloth, that is, only in terms of the added value of the process excluding the cost, each horse can also reach about one tael of added value. According to the current rate estimates, the annual added value of only six or seven thousand people should be about two million taels, which also made Xiao Xuan begin to understand why the benefits brought by capitalism in the early modern period were so crazy. There is no land price, no water and electricity environmental cost, the relative proportion of plant and even equipment costs, because the relative simplicity and reliability of machinery are also very low, and more importantly: if the bourgeoisie has a considerable position to avoid the exploitation of bureaucrats or feudal lords, then it can get at least eighty percent of the value of the entire added value. In just a generation, or even a momentary technological revolution, labor productivity has increased tenfold, and it is true that labor relations will to a large extent seem to be completely different from the past.

In this way, the workshop unit of these thousands of people can bring the equivalent of 1.5 million taels of silver a year, which is equivalent to millions of dollars in annual benefits in the Republic of China era. If the scale is expanded to about ten times the original in a short period of time, then the transfer from Songjiang to Nanjing can be completed to a large extent, and at the same time, a certain upgrade in quality can be completed to a large extent, providing fifteen million taels of silver per year, although there is still a long way from Xiao Xuan's ultimate expectation, but there is no doubt that it can greatly alleviate the financial deficit of 30 or 40 million taels of silver in the current disaster year, and in normal years, it will be overdrawn by about 20 million taels because of various expenses.

Of course, the new order in the textile mill is starting to become uncomfortable. Although the daily settlement method has greatly improved the pressure caused by people's boredom in labor, and the daily income of sixty or seventy yuan is also a completely non-negligible income for female workers who are not the main labor force in the family, the labor intensity is completely incomparable with that of previous weavers.

In the past, the working hours of the weavers in the related trades did not exceed 200 days a year in most cases, and the average daily working time was only six hours in a few days, and only five hours in most cases. However, in the newly established workshop, even the shift was almost no rest day, and the average income per hour was limited, and the average income per hour was limited, and the labor was long hours.

Unlike the bourgeoisie transformed from the European feudal aristocracy, which had a right-wing conservative mentality in their bones, because of the influence of the long-term literati rule and even the Confucian tradition, although there are actually countless tragedies in this world, the tradition of completely deviating from "leisure" and "freedom and leisure" quickly caused people discomfort. This even made Xiao Xuan see a lot of things more clearly: the Han people are indeed the most tolerant nationalism, but because the long-term grassroots oppression is not prudent in most normal circumstances, the degree of industriousness is not as prominent as imagined even if it exists under the same circumstances and conditions.

For this problem, of course, Xiao Xuan has already made some preparations: "If someone is unwilling to do it, you can make an appointment to quit, and if you want to come to the North Koreans or Dongying people, there should be no shortage of corresponding labor... ”

At this time, the newspapers and magazines in the area from the Hero's Outer City to Yingtian began to have a kind of "Shaozhuang faction" thinking that rekindled the flames of war. And some people have pointed out that the reason why the expedition to the West had to use hundreds of thousands of troops and lose 200,000 or 300,000 troops was fundamentally that Taixi at this time was far stronger than many people had imagined and expected before. If troops are re-employed in these places, the losses should not exceed 10,000 people.

Of course, Xiao Xuan was also seriously considering whether it was time to go on an expedition to Korea or Dongying at this time, especially when the chaos in Taixi gradually calmed down and many troops began to return to China. In fact, not only the labor force, but also the wealth that supports the two million non-agricultural urban class is also a surplus food that cannot be ignored.
