On the second day, Yang Mu personally inspected the Ministry of Science and Technology, where layers of heavy guards were held, and a research and development team of more than 20 people was getting together to study.

Loom!

This is the first time that Yang Mu has seen something similar to the machinery of later generations in this world, although the whole body is made of wood, but its structure already has the prototype of a mechanical locomotive.

For a while, Yang Mu touched the machine, a little uncontrollable!

The surrounding officials don't know why, His Majesty the Emperor was fine just now, laughing happily, why are there tears in the corners of his eyes all of a sudden?

Do you continue to laugh along? Or should I cry like this?

"Good!" Yang Mu took a deep breath and asked, "How long will it take for this mechanical loom to succeed?" ”

"It will take at least three months to return to Your Majesty." Ou Ye bowed down and replied, secretly glanced at Yang Mu's face, and quickly explained: "The main thing is the new measurement taught by His Majesty last time, and there are some levers to stay away and the like, everyone has not yet adapted to it, we must strive to make this first mechanical textile machine perfect." ”

"Three-month ......"

Yang Mu nodded, the so-called lever principle is not necessarily applicable to straight sticks, but the principle of dynamic pulley labor-saving that he learned in junior high school before, which can be regarded as one of the lever principles, anyway, there are many places to use in the future, so he simply used the design of the gear transmission and explained it in detail with drawings.

It is clear that the Ministry of Science and Technology is conducting in-depth research on it.

"So, what about the simpler looms?" Yang Mu asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the simple textile machine, just in today's spinning wheel to improve, did not take much effort, a few days ago has been handed over to the Ministry of Industry for mass manufacturing, is expected to be sold in half a month."

"Not bad." Yang Mu nodded and said: "Your Ministry of Science and Technology has a long way to go, and you must cooperate well with the Ministry of Industry. ”

"Your Majesty, Thank You, Weichen!"

Suddenly, the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology were overjoyed, most of them were originally from the Ministry of Industry, and in the past six months, it was like a dream, from the lowest craftsmen to the pillars of the country, and the salary rose tenfold, and now there is a chance to be awarded a knighthood!

That's the title of the glorious ancestors, the descendants of Fuze!

Incredible!

Let's ask, apart from Cangguo, which country can value craftsmen so much?

"Pass the decree, let the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households organize, all the people of Cangguo, as long as there are spare people, will plant and cultivate mulberry trees for me to die, as long as it is a silkworm breeder this year, all the silk will be purchased by the government at a high price!"

"Yes, the minion obeys!"

Yang Mu's holy decree was issued, and the government offices at all levels immediately took action, from the six ministries to the local government offices, and then to every village, overwhelming publicity.

As soon as the people heard that His Majesty the Emperor encouraged everyone to raise silkworms, and all the silk was purchased by the government, it was like finding a way to make a fortune and setting off a wave of silkworm raising.

In the past, the scale of silkworm raising was very small, mainly because there was no market, and the selling price was low, so it was mainly for personal use.

But now it's different, silkworm seeds have suddenly become a hot commodity, and no one discards them like before, but takes them all out to hatch!

Within ten days, every household began to raise silkworms, for families with many children, this is a great blessing, silkworm raising is not difficult, even if it is a child of five or six years old, it can be easily taken care of.

This is equivalent to the fact that children have also become laborers and can earn money for the family!

Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of some nobles.

After some inquiry, it turned out that the Ministry of Industry had already begun to build a weaving factory, and it may be possible to start production after spring ploughing.

As a result, the news spread among the upper nobles.

Since everyone can't get into the weaving factory, the raw materials of the weaving can be!

Weaving cloth doesn't have to be as good as silk, cotton and ramie are also okay!

Not only cotton and ramie, goose feathers and wool, but even rabbit fur, isn't it?

Some big families have also organized people to start planting cotton on the dry fields with low yields.

Of course, this also attracted the attention of foreign businessmen.

Even if it is them, they have to admit that Cangguo is a magical country, from a weak and small country in a short period of time, suddenly rising, successively annexing several times their own territory, and then making out the big white paper and books that everyone in the world is eager for, in just two months, with this crazy roll of millions of silver.

Even, this is just the beginning, these two businesses can definitely go on forever!

Whether at home or abroad, everyone understands that everything is created because of the supreme controller of the Cangguo in the palace.

And now, the mysterious emperor has made another puzzling decision.

even encouraged the common people to raise silkworms, and said that all of them would be purchased by the government at a high price!

The emperor of a country, was his brain kicked by a donkey?

More than three million people, every household raises silkworms and mulberries, and the accumulation of them will definitely become a small mountain, and it is not a small amount to buy, at least four or five million taels, right?

Even if Cangguo is not what it used to be, it can afford such a large sum of silver.

But the question is, can a country of more than 3 million people use so much silk?

It can't be that the little emperor is whimsical and wants to transport it to other countries through the caravans of various countries to sell, right?

Dream!

Each country also has its own silkworm breeders, silk fabrics and the like, which are basically self-sufficient, so that the caravans of various countries will not be so stupid, and they will not do it with big profits, and do the business that makes these money.

Although there are all kinds of incomprehension and disdain in my heart.

However, no merchant dared to take it lightly, and the merchants' instincts told them that the emperor of Cangguo was by no means a dumb man, and that things were far more simple than they seemed.

Sure enough, a few days later, they were taken aback.

Because in the latest issue of the "Dacang Times", there is the latest news about this decree, and from the mouths of some court officials, they have also heard some words, the Ministry of Industry of Cangguo is manufacturing a batch of textile machines that can weave cloth quickly, and every ordinary person can easily weave cloth at that time!

What does this mean?

Merchants have been dealing with goods all year round, and of course they know very well that if this kind of textile machine really comes out, it will greatly reduce the cost of cloth and clothes!

A silk garment sells for a hundred cents, and no merchant wants to buy it in large quantities.

However, if the price of the same piece of clothing is only 50 yuan, the profit is huge!
