Chapter 374: Rapid Development II

The textile industry happens to use a large number of female workers, and there are many examples of weaving mills recruiting female workers in various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

Due to the popularization and use of the steam engine, Su Ziheng improved the spinning machine according to the information in the encyclopedia and manufactured a steam-driven power textile machine.

Large quantities of cotton, linen and silk were spun into cloth, which was then transported to various places by land, water and land. From the purchase of raw materials such as hemp and silk to the delivery of finished fabrics, the profits in the middle have increased several times.

Even Su Ziheng has designed dozens of various ready-to-wear clothes for sale, each size and model are in place, and basically most people can buy clothes that fit.

As soon as these exquisite garments were launched, they immediately attracted the attention of countless merchants, many merchants who were originally just buying cloth purchased ready-to-wear and went back, and after finding that these ready-to-wear clothes were selling very well, they no longer purchased cloth when they came to Tokai Province next time, but directly purchased ready-to-wear garments.

Su Ziheng also designed several sets of clothes suitable for work, and the students of Bailu Academy also wore uniform student uniforms, forming a very beautiful landscape.

The boom in the textile industry consumed a large number of female laborers in Tohae Province, and some of the remaining female laborers went into the food industry.

The large number of sweet potatoes is cultivated, and a large amount of harvest is obtained during the autumn harvest, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of tons of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, it is far from being eaten by fast food restaurants and ordinary people.

Su Ziheng considered setting up a food processing workshop to process them into a variety of delicious foods to sell around the world.

Especially sweet potatoes, especially suitable for making all kinds of dry goods, sun-dried sweet potato fries are the favorite of girls such as Zhong Qinghan and Zhao Wan'er, and they will put a lot in the drawer every day, and when they are greedy, they will take them out and chew two, not to mention how beautiful the taste is.

However, sweet potatoes are most commonly used to make wine, and in this world, many wines are made from grain. Because in recent years, various countries have been in turmoil, except for the Southern Zhou Dynasty, which was slightly stable, and a small amount of wine flowed to the market every year, and the Great Xia and Eastern Wei Dynasty banned the use of grain to make wine, resulting in the price of wine in the market rising steadily.

Because of the high yield of sweet potatoes, sweet potato wine is not only delicious, but also can be balanced and nutritious after long-term drinking, strengthening the body and prolonging life.

As soon as it was launched, it was well received by people from all over the world. Nowadays, many businessmen come to Donghai Province to do business, and no matter what kind of business they do, they have to buy more than a dozen jars of good sweet potato wine when they go back.

In addition to fruits and sake, Tokai Prefecture also offers a variety of canned foods, most notably a variety of canned fish.

Many fishing boats go to the sea every day in Tokai Province, and most of the fish they catch go to the market and are sold in canning factories.

Thanks to the cultivation of various spices at Tuntian Farm, there are countless spices used in cooking, so canned fish of various flavors can be produced.

Every month, the canned fish in the canning workshop can bring a lot of income to Donghai Province, and now the director of the canning processing workshop has begun to research and produce other canned meat in addition to canned fish under the secret recipe given by Su Ziheng, the most important thing is canned pork.

In addition to issues closely related to food, clothing, housing and people's livelihood, Donghai Province is also developing rapidly in several other industries.

The most obvious performance is in the communications industry, where the headquarters base of the Secret Investigation Division of Longwangfeng has been completed, and the signal tower has been put into use.

The radio station also has a special person who is responsible for broadcasting every day, the most important of which is the weather forecast every morning and the punctual time every hour. The time is automatically broadcast by a machine-controlled radio station, which replaces the role of the shifter.

In his spare time, the radio station also broadcasts entertainment programs, such as storytelling, songs, the latest current news, etc.

As the top priority of the telegraph industry, the wireless telegraph has also been put into use, but this price is relatively expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to use it at all, because it is charged by the word, and a word has to be charged for one dollar, at least from the cross. That is to say, to send a telegram, the cheapest is ten dollars.

This price sounds very dark, but in fact it is not, because after the telegram is sent, it has to be delivered to the door, so the price is not very high.

It's just that for Su Ziheng, he doesn't plan to promote the telegram to the people's livelihood industry for the time being, but uses it as a secret contact. Occasionally, it was also used by merchants, and this telegram was relayed through a signal station.

This means that whoever gets their hands on the wireless telegraph will have to send the information to the cell tower relay station, which will then be relayed to another receiver. It cannot directly transfer messages between two transmitters.

On the surface, this may seem like a superfluous move, but for the sake of safety and security, it is necessary to prevent the wireless telegraph from falling into the hands of the enemy, and to be able to directly exchange messages to each other and bring adverse consequences to the Tokai Prefecture. It is equivalent to a listening effect, and any news that intends to be unfavorable to the East China Sea Mansion can also be cracked as soon as possible.

At present, in the city of Donghai Prefecture, in addition to the government office, there is only a residential area, industrial area, commercial area and wharf, as well as a wireless telegraph machine installed in the pass in the west of the city, and a secret base is arranged in several places such as Jiangning Mansion in Daxia, Haizhou City in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and Nanping Mansion in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

If it weren't for the fact that the new secret agents recruited by the Secret Investigation Department were still being trained, this scale and scope could have been expanded even more, at least within a 1,000-kilometer effective transmission range of wireless telegraphs, all over the secret bases.

In this way, no matter what happens in other places, the Tokai Prefecture can receive timely information and take countermeasures.

In the research institute of the workshop, Su Ziheng sorted out all the black technologies that can be produced by the current technology and asked the craftsmen of the research institute to conduct research.

Su Ziheng does not require them to fully understand and grasp the principle, at least they must be able to imitate it and be able to use it. As for the principle, I will wait for the students who have grown up in Bailu Academy to study it slowly.

In terms of the army, the Crows have phased out the cold weapons they used and replaced them with breech-loading flintlock pistols.

Among them, a musket battalion of 300 people has been replaced with various new weapons and equipment developed by the research institute, and Su Ziheng is usually trained by Xu Lin and they are trained in the way of special forces, and they don't have to worry about anything else except training every day, they are professional soldiers.

After training like this for half a year, Su Ziheng lined up this musket battalion on the battlefield, accepted the employment of Song Yingjun, the sword king of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and Ji Gou, the king of Kang, and appeared on various battlefields in the Eastern Wei Dynasty to achieve the purpose of actual combat training.

The musket battalion of 300 men is not fixed, but will be rotated back to Donghai Province every month. What Su Ziheng wants is not a strong combat force of 300 people, but to take the opportunity of military training to build the entire Black Crow Army into an invincible and strong army.
