After a while, after she offered the spun yarn, Zhu Youlang's face showed unconcealed joy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After taking the cotton yarn in his hand and looking at it carefully, he said with satisfaction: "The thickness is uniform, tough and firm, and it is a high-grade cotton yarn." Everyone on his side was overjoyed when he heard this.

The new spinning wheel was successfully manufactured, and Zhu Youlang was in a very good mood.

"These days, you've been working hard. Rest assured, I will not treat those who have merit badly. Glancing at the people beside him, he smiled and continued: "This time to make a new spinning wheel, Zhao and Liu Dajiang are the first, and today they will give one hundred taels of silver and thirty horses of Songjiang cloth!" The rest of the meritorious people will each give ten taels of silver, and three horses of Songjiang cloth! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The crowd bowed and bowed down in thanks.

After receiving such a great reward, the Zhao family and Liu Dajiang were extremely surprised, they did not expect His Majesty to reward them so generously.

The rest of the people were also very happy when they were rewarded, of course, they were more envious of Zhao and Liu, and regretted that if they had a little more mind and carpentry skills at that time, they might be able to win a huge reward of one hundred taels of silver.

After the reward, Zhu Youlang's face suddenly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The function and manufacturing process of this spinning wheel must be kept strictly confidential, and not a word or half a word shall be disclosed to the outside world. ”

When everyone heard this, they gradually understood the powerful relationship and knew how much impact the emergence of this new spinning machine would have on the market.

Fortunately, they are all regarded as the emperor's royal craftsmen at this moment, and the relationship with the royal family can be described as a glory and a loss, from this rich reward, I know that the emperor is not a harsh and stingy person, if the royal family makes a lot of money in the future, it will not be less of their benefits, so everyone has no crooked thoughts.

At this moment, under Zhu Youlang's murderous warning, he didn't dare to do what he thought, and hurriedly responded.

Seeing that everyone had written down his words, Zhu Youlang smiled with satisfaction.

After leaving the carpentry workshop, he had already begun to estimate in his heart how much income he could bring if he opened a textile workshop in the Lindu craftsman camp.

With this new spinning wheel, if the weaver is skillful, not only the spinning speed can be increased several times, but also the quality is excellent, and the human participation can be reduced, one person can be at least four people, which greatly reduces the labor cost.

If we can improve it again in the future, maybe we can put eight spindles or even a dozen spindles vertically at the same time, if we can combine the water spinning wheel with the current new hand-spinning wheel to create a large-scale spinning machine with higher efficiency, then it is estimated that the spinning speed will be faster, maybe it is no problem to put thirty or forty spindles, and cotton, wool, and linen can be spinned.

Another significant significance of the improvement of the spinning machine is that Zhu Youlang can open up the cotton trade. The foreign cloth trade of the British to India in later generations is a typical example of capitalism's exploitation of the market of feudal countries, because the low cost of weaving cloth on new spinning machines led to the loss of the market for Indian homespun cloth, while foreign cloth opened up the situation in one fell swoop. This trade was relatively unprofitable, but stable, and was a major source of revenue for the British Indian Company.

Now on the market, a pound of cotton yarn is sold for about one or two or five dollars, compared with the southeast region where the cotton textile industry is developed, the price is relatively high, Guangxi is remote, the people live in poverty, such a high price, resulting in most poor people can not afford to wear a few cotton clothes in their lives.

Compared with cotton yarn, the price of linen yarn is much lower, a pound of linen yarn costs about six yuan, less than half of cotton yarn, and the woven linen cloth is relatively cheap, so linen is the first choice for most poor people.

If Zhu Youlang uses this new spinning wheel to spin cotton yarn or linen yarn, the cost will become very low, even if a pound of cotton yarn is bought for eight or nine yuan, it is estimated that he can earn a lot, if he spins linen yarn, he may have to make money by selling it for three or four yuan a pound.

However, in view of the turbulent situation and frequent wars, the market of cotton cloth trade in the south will definitely be greatly affected, and Zhu Youlang feels that relying on domestic sales alone may not make much money in the end, but it is better to carry out domestic sales and exports together. As soon as he thought of exporting, Zhu Youlang roughly listed some countries that can be exported now.

1. Adjacent to Guangxi, Yunnan-Guizhou Annam, Siam and Myanmar, these three countries are relatively the most convenient to export, and they are also the safest and fastest, without having to travel long distances.

Second, India can learn from the practices of the British in later generations. But now you have to go through the Strait of Malacca, which is still the land of the Dutch, the 'sea coachmen'. The Dutch were the number one in the world at this time, and they had a monopoly on almost all the bulk trade at sea.

The main export trade content includes sugar, deer skin, venison, antlers, rattan, rice, and the transshipment trade content includes Dutch metals and medicinal materials, Batavia's spices, pepper, amber, linen, cotton, opium, tin, lead, Chinese silk fabrics, pottery, gold, etc., most of which are transshipped by Dutch merchant ships and sold by Dutch merchants. However, most of these bad men are also pirates, and they must always be prepared to be robbed when doing business with them.

Some time ago, because the 'King of the Fujian Sea' Zheng Zhilong was imprisoned, the department was divided, and now there is a power vacuum in the South China Seas, all parties are competing for the status of the hegemon of the South Seas, and now the South Seas are very chaotic, pirates are piled up, and the composition is also very complicated, not only the Dutch, but also the Spaniards, the British, the Portuguese, and even the pirates and maritime merchants of Liangguang and Fujian.

3. The Japanese kingdom, Korea, etc., and what is now Japan can be said to be a silver island floating on the sea. If you don't want to find a way to loot their silver, you're too sorry for the identity of the traverser. Moreover, the Wa Kingdom is not far from the Ming Dynasty, although it is in the era of the Tokugawa Shogunate's seclusion, but there has always been trade with the Ming Dynasty. However, it is not so simple to think of a share of the pie. Although Zheng Zhilong's pirate group disintegrated, but after all, there are still some remnants, his son Zheng Sen, Longwu gave the name 'Zhu Chenggong', did not surrender to the Qing, at this moment in the name of 'loyal and filial piety to recruit the general's criminal vassal surname', led his father's remnants in Fujian Kinmen, Xiamen, Nanao Island and other places with naval advantages to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Chenggong's ministry has always respected Longwu, and has not yet recognized the orthodoxy of Yongli, and naturally there is no subordinate relationship between monarchs and ministers. Once there is a conflict of interests between the two sides, it is not easy to get the other side to make concessions. Moreover, not to mention the rest of the Zheng clan along the coast of Fujian, as far as the Japanese invaders in the Japanese country and the Dutch stationed in Taiwan are not fuel-efficient lamps, and if they want to take food from the mouth of the Dutch lord, there will be a fight when the time comes.
