"Virtuous nephew, can this shuttle loom really be one as eight?"

In the Lin Weaving Workshop, Liu Jiangbai inspected the loom at work with his hands behind his back, looking at the shuttle that automatically went back and forth between the cotton yarn, he showed an incredible look.

"Uncle Liu, how dare my little nephew tell you, here are all cut out of cloth, just one morning, a weaver weaves five pieces of cloth, and the current loom of the Hua Dynasty can weave one piece of cloth at most during the day and in the middle of the night." Lin Mu looked confident, today was the first day of the official production of the Lin Weaving Workshop, and he never thought that Liu Jiangbai would suddenly visit at noon.

"Generally speaking, a family of five can make a profit of 100 wen a day by weaving one horse, and your loom seems to be able to make a profit of 800 wen a day." Liu Jiangbai exclaimed.

Lin Mu laughed at this time, and he said to Liu Jiangbai: "Uncle Liu, your account is wrong, this loom of the little nephew can make a profit of two taels a day." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Jiangbai asked, his attitude was modest, he didn't dare to pretend to be big in front of Lin Mu on this kind of issue.

Lin Mu explained: "The little nephew's weaving workshop adopts a shift system, a loom needs two weavers to work in turn, one is responsible for the day shift, and the other is responsible for the night shift, so it is equivalent to the shuttle loom is weaving all day long, plus the efficiency of the loom is more than eight times higher than that of ordinary looms, with the estimate of the little nephew, the loom can weave twenty horses a day, which removes the cost, and the profit is naturally two taels." ”

"Shifts, that's a fresh word."

Liu Jiangbai gave a thumbs up, and Lin Mu's explanation, which contained a lot of fresh words, made him more and more convinced that Lin Mu was not bragging that day.

After a pause, he continued; "According to what you said, your small weaving workshop makes a profit of at least two hundred taels a day, six thousand taels a month, and an income of more than seventy thousand taels a year.

Lin Mu Zhengse said: "Uncle Liu, the loom that the little nephew took out is not an advanced machine in today's West, which is why it is still profitable for Westerners to transport cloth to the Chinese Dynasty thousands of miles away." ”

Liu Jiangbai nodded slowly, what he saw today and Lin Mu's words strengthened his determination to change the law, the Hua Dynasty has declined to this point, if he doesn't think about change, I'm afraid that this country will not be able to be saved.

After a turn in the house, Liu Jiangbai and Lin Mu arrived in the courtyard, Liu Jiangbai continued: "Virtuous nephew, your weaving workshop consumes a huge amount of cotton yarn, but I am afraid that the cotton yarn in Jiangning will soon be in short supply, the family of five in the Hua Dynasty is often a collaboration of five people, some people spin, some people weave, spinning is thin, weaving cloth is thick, and farmers are generally self-sufficient, so there are not many cotton yarns on the market." ”

Lin Mu was already prepared at the same time as opening the weaving workshop, so yesterday he handed over the task of manufacturing Jenny's spinning machine to Ding Li, once his loom and spinning machine operated together, the weaving and spinning industry of the Hua Dynasty would undergo earth-shaking changes.

"The little nephew has already prepared for this, and Uncle Liu only needs to witness it when the time comes." Lin Mu sold it.

Liu Jiangbai bowed slightly, he looked at Lin Mu with satisfaction, "The Lin family is in trouble, but you are a blessing in disguise, and at this time, I was demoted to Jiang Ning and met you, maybe this is the will of heaven in the dark." ”

Then he said to the door, "Come in." ”

As his words fell, two young scholars of the same age walked in, led by a young man holding a delicate paper fan, wearing a luxurious silk robe, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was like a crown of jade, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

And the person who followed the young man, Lin Mu, knew him, he was Liu Jiangbai's youngest son, Liu Rumian.

"San Lang, this is Lin Mu." Liu Jiangbai introduced the young scholar, and then he scolded Liu Rumian, "What are you rubbing!" Don't apprentice to Lin Mu yet! ”

Lin Mu smiled dumbly, he didn't expect Liu Jiangbai to bring someone this time.

"Dad, since the child has promised you to worship Lin Mu as a teacher, at least let the child see Lin Mu's ability, otherwise the child will not let the classmates of the Guozijian laugh off their big teeth." Liu Rumian didn't take it and looked at Lin Mu.

He has a reputation for genius since he was a child, he was only thirteen years old when he was lifted, and then he was elected to continue his studies in the country, not surprisingly, after two years of graduation he can enter the court as an official, and now he is forced by his father to recognize a person who has no fame as a teacher, he is naturally extremely reluctant, if it is not for the Lin family's kindness to his family, he will not come to die.

"Duke Liu, Ru Mian's words are not unreasonable, and I also feel aggrieved for him in this matter, after all, Ru Mian is going to enter the court as an official." The young man glanced at Lin Mu, and his tone was flat.

Liu Jiangbai looked at Lin Mu in embarrassment, and the meaning in his eyes was to let him show his hand.

Lin Mu had been observing the three of them just now, and he found that although Liu Jiangbai tried his best to cover it up, he still inadvertently showed his respect for the young man, and Liu Rumian walking behind the young man when he came in was enough to show that this young man's identity was not good, and Jiang Ning, who could make Liu Jiangbai like this, was afraid that he was from Lin'an Imperial City.

There was a plan in his heart, Lin Mu deliberately pretended not to know, he was used to idle fish and wild cranes, and his body was a soul from the contemporary era, without the consciousness of being three points shorter when he saw the powerful in this era, it would be even more impossible for Liu Rumian.

"What Ru Mian said to this son makes sense, but not everyone can be my disciple, otherwise it will disgrace my reputation if I accept it." Lin Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Arrogance!" Liu Rumian almost jumped up, who didn't want to take him under the door of this famous teacher in Lin'an City.

The young scholar said to Liu Jiangbai: "Liu Gong, I'm afraid that as Liu Xiaoniang said, you were drunk and confused that day." ”

Liu Jiangbai's confidence in Lin Mu was very firm, Liu Rumian and the scholar's questioning made him a little angry, and he said to Lin Mu: "Virtuous nephew, you don't need to hinder my face today, let this inferior man understand what it means to have someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky." ”

Liu Rumian has long been dissatisfied with Liu Jiangbai because of this incident, and he also said to Lin Mu: "Even if you let the horse come, I will demolish you in front of my father today!" ”

Lin Mu was almost amused by the father and son, he shook his head helplessly, and then entered a room, and came out with two metal balls in his hands.

"In that case, let me give you a simple question, I have three hollow balls in my hand, the same size and weight, but I can tell you that one of them is copper, one is gold, and one is lead, and the surface of these three balls is now painted with paint, and it is impossible to distinguish from the appearance, so I want you to tell me in the easiest way without destroying the surface pigment, which is gold, which is copper, and which is lead." Lin Mu was full of malice, and the three balls he took out from a school physics laboratory.

"Can't break the paint?" Liu Rumian was dumbfounded, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The young scholar's expression also became solemn.

Lin Mu continued to hit the two, "Give you a day, if you can't think of it, I can't accept a stupid person like you." ”
