Everyone cheered, especially Ye Meng, Li Ming, Shui Yun, Tang Long and others who participated in the development and production of hydraulic silk reeling machines, all of them were even taller, and their eyes were full of pride and pride.

"In addition to the celebration banquet, everyone who participated in the research and development was rewarded with a great achievement, and all other craftsmen and apprentices were also rewarded with a silver dollar. I hope you will continue to work hard, and by the way, you will also make a water-powered spinning machine. ”

Lin Chong had already calculated, bought a large number of silkworm cocoons from the Song Dynasty, processed them into raw silk for sale or woven them into silk silk and satin by himself, and finally sold them to the Liao, Jurchen, Goryeo, Wa and Nanyang countries in the north.

On the other hand, a large number of wool from the Liao State or Jurchen were purchased, and the quality was sold to other merchants of the Song Dynasty, and the good quality was left to be processed into various wool textiles, woolen threads, carpets, blankets, tweed coats, etc.

Communicate with each other, and make money on both sides.

In fact, like silk, wool has a long history of use, and there were various wool textiles as early as the Neolithic Age.

It's just that later, because the main product of the Han people was silk, and the scientific and technological level of the Saiwaihu people was too low, for thousands of years, the processing and weaving methods of wool were not much stronger than those in the pre-Qin period.

For example, this time Lin Chong's brother-in-law Hu Chengcheng bought some blankets from Liao, the patterns are very beautiful, and the price is expensive, but there are also a lot of shortcomings.

First of all, the softness and hardness of the wool are inconsistent, the wool is rough and uneven, and the most important point is that the degreasing is not complete, and there is always a smell of sheep's hair, anyway, if Lin Chong sleeps with such a blanket, Lin Chong can't sleep.

However, these problems naturally do not make it difficult for Lin Chong. The problem of silk washed more than wool can be solved, and the problem of wool is not easy to solve?

The first is the selection of wool, this only needs to be strictly graded when buying wool, the price of good quality wool is high, you have to mix it up and sell it to me, I'm sorry I can only give you the lowest price, those Liao herdsmen will naturally do all this well.

The second is skimming.

The wool surface is covered with a layer of grease film, and degreasing is to remove this layer of grease film, otherwise it is not only not conducive to production and processing, but also the final wool textile is full of smell and greasy to the touch.

At this time, the most advanced method of degreasing is to scrub it in boiling water, although it can also remove some lanolin, but it is really limited.

The method adopted by Lin Chong is to configure a sapon-alkali solution and rinse it with warm water.

Although it is not as efficient as modern industrial ether, chloroform and other solvents, it was the most advanced technology in the Song Dynasty and more than 800 years ahead of this era.

The defatted wool can be spun into yarn (fine wool), or made into wool, and then spun into various wool textiles or teach people to weave sweaters and pants around the neck for sale.

Of course, all of this would be inefficient and of varying quality if it were all done by hand.

On the contrary, if everything were to be powered by water-powered machinery, or if the steam engine was invented in the future, it would undoubtedly not only be at least ten times more efficient, but also greatly improved in the quality of all kinds of woollen fabrics.

When everyone heard Lin Chong's encouragement, they patted their chests excitedly, saying that they would work hard and complete the task excellently.

Here, Lin Chong turned his head again and said to Ye Meng and the others: "Master Ye, go back and hand over the list of meritorious personnel you have listed to Mr. Gao, and I will give you a reward." Especially you and Shui Yun, this time the credit is the greatest, what do you want to say, do you want to have a leisure villa next to the reservoir? ”

Everyone in the factory was boiling when they heard this, and at this time the reservoir had been repaired, not only the vegetable gardens on both sides of the slope, but also the orchards were also being built, and the leisure villas were also built in the middle of the mulberry forests on both sides of the reservoir.

Although the foundation of these villas has only just been laid, it is expected that they will be beautiful and valuable when they are completed.

That's a real reward!

Ye Meng and Shui Yun became excited, and hurriedly bowed to Lin Chong and said, "Military master, this can't be helped!" The design drawings were drawn by the military master alone, and the military owner contributed the most during research and development. ”

Lin Chong hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said seriously: "I said that you deserve it, you deserve it." I also want to tell everyone that as long as you do things with your heart, whether it is killing enemies on the battlefield, spying on intelligence, or rear management, building tools, as long as you make contributions, I will not bury your credit! I will not be stingy with your reward! ”

The power of role models is endless, especially for Chinese, who are full of genes to work hard and yearn for a better life.

At this time, hearing Lin Chong's encouragement, they all felt that they were full of inexhaustible energy, and they were full of enthusiasm for work. They all thought in their hearts that they must make more contributions, make more contributions, and get more rewards, so that they and their families can live a better life.

The craftsmen followed the firewood to receive the reward with smiles, and the female silk reeling workers pulled the reeling switch again and continued to familiarize themselves with the silk reeling operation.

At this time, Lin Chong came to Shi Jin and said, "Brother Shi Jin, what happened?" ”

Shi Jin hurriedly reported: "Uncle Zhang, the court's waiter of the Ministry of Rites, arrived at night, and Lu Junshi sent someone to tell my brother, I saw that the matter was urgent, so I hurried over." ”

As soon as he heard Shi Jin's words, Lin Chong couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said in his heart that Shi Jin was still a child who hadn't grown up after all, and he just couldn't bear it.

"yes, I see. But I said Brother Shi Jin, in the future, this kind of letter delivery will be handed over to Chuanqi. ”

In fact, not long after Uncle Zhang came out of Bianjing, Lin Chong got the news, but he didn't expect Uncle Zhang to arrive now, it should be delayed on the way because of something.

"I ......"

Shi Jin heard the displeasure in Lin Chong's tone, and couldn't help but blush, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to speak, after all, he was indeed out of his own job.

Lin Chong patted him on the shoulder at this time, and said gently, not in a high tone: "Brother Shi Jin, I know that training recruits is a bit boring. But if the army is not trained rigorously and systematically, how can there be fighting? ”

Shi Jin suddenly became more and more guilty, like a child who had done something wrong, and then he heard Lin Chong pause, and then said: "Besides, you are a person I trust, and a good brother of my senior brother, I let you lead an army alone, and wait for you to lead the troops on the battlefield to make meritorious contributions and win glory for me, so you must not be sloppy in training." You know, sweat more in training and bleed less on the battlefield! ”

Hearing Lin Chong believe in himself so much, Shi Jin's blood in his whole body was almost boiling, and he hurriedly said with light in his eyes that he would go back to continue recruit training.

Lin Chong smiled and said that since he came, he would go back to the mountain with him to meet this Uncle Zhang, and just by the way, he would teach him some more training experience, and Shi Jin, a straight man, was so grateful that he couldn't wait to take out his heart.

Speaking of which, Lin Chong also valued Shi Jin's advantage, so he reused him.

In Lin Chong's opinion, the "one hundred and eight heroes" in the original story actually had few good characters, but Shi Jin had to be counted as one.

Although this product also has stains, such as not doing his job since he was a child, he only loves to stab guns and sticks, his mother said that he didn't listen (change), and finally made the old lady angry to death.

It can be seen that this product has been a stubborn bear child who does not let his parents worry since he was a child.

However, Shi Jinsheng is talented, bold, righteous, and tough, like Lu Zhishen, he is the kind of person who can really stick a knife in his friend's ribs.

That's a rarity......
