Chapter 860: Industry

"Huh?" Chang Jinyou glared and said, "Do you still want to expand the army?" ”

"Of course. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Song Yingxing smiled: "There are still sets that have not been removed, the Western Regions have not been served, and the East has not been settled, it is impossible for Lord Zhang to stop." ”

Chang Jin said with some frustration: "Wen Lan is indeed such a character, in fact, in my opinion, doing business and doing business, now that he has won Qingcheng, his safety will be guaranteed in the future, so why bother to fight again." ”

"The situation is correct, if you don't advance, you will retreat." Song Yingxing said in a deep voice: "I can't see the general trend clearly, but in the past two years in Heyusheng, one thing is still very clear, Lord Zhang is decisive and resolute, since he is bent on improving the size and combat power of the army, I am afraid it is not for no reason, but for a purpose, and to take precautions." ”

"Brother Song," Chang Jinquan suddenly changed his title, his eyes were also bright, he stared at Song Yingxing, and said in a deep voice: "Look at the meaning of your words, I'm afraid I don't want to take the exam next year, right?" ”

"Of course." Song Yingxing smiled bitterly and said, "My brother still wants to go, but I took a reward of 10,000 yuan yesterday, and I think his meaning is also active." Actually, we have been working here for two years, and the imperial court has been more and more jealous of He Yusheng recently, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven is a kind person and has not done too many outrageous things, but sooner or later he will still be swayed by the courtiers. I think it has been a few years since He Yusheng and Daming tore their faces, and now Qingcheng's family members are about to move out, and only a few people are still here. I think that within two years, most of the manufacturing bureaus and factories will also move to the north, which is to plan and prepare for the future. With the experience of my two brothers, I am afraid it is difficult to stay out of the matter, rather than being excluded or even arrested and interrogated by Dongchang or Jinyiwei at that time, and causing trouble to the family, it is better to make some preparations in advance. ”

"In that case." Chang Jin said: "I will tell Wen Lan that the Military Intelligence Department will handle the affairs of the clan for you, take your family members over, and go to Qingcheng and various military forts to live in batches." ”

Song Yingxing stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you for this matter first." ”

"Gossip." Chang Jinyou waved his hand, and his face returned to the stereotypical nerdy atmosphere of a technician, he looked at Song Yingxing and said, "Brother Song is here today, there must be something very important?" ”

"Yes." Song Yingxing also changed to the same expression, and he said with a straight face: "Lord Zhang used to put the hope of the textile machine on the Taixi people, but the other party's machine is not as good as my Daming's machine. At least my Daming spinning machine can use three spindles, spinning three yarns at the same time, and the efficiency is not low. Tessie's side is still a single spindle and a single yarn, and there is nothing special about the structure. It seems that the adults have misbelieved the information, and there is nothing magical about the machines of the Tessie people. ”

"I'm thinking about it, too." Chang Jin Youdao: "The original idea of digging the north-south canal is irrigation first, and this goal has been achieved. Now there is drainage to drive the rolling machine to press copper coins and plate armor, which is also for He Yusheng to earn considerable profits. However, adults have invested heavily in reclaiming wasteland in the north, and the goal may eventually be more than one million acres, or even millions of acres, and these places are to plant a large amount of cotton, and to grab the cloth market in the entire north, which is the scale of millions of pieces of cloth a year, and the profits are very considerable. If we don't have the right spinning machines and looms, if we want to weave on a large scale like Songjiang Prefecture, we in Datong will not have enough manpower......"

"yes." Chang Jin nodded and said: "Songjiang and Suzhou two houses, almost every woman will be a household weaving, I have traveled to two places, I have seen with my own eyes, people's textile machinery is used fast and good, a family of several people, with a woman a textile machine can live very well, we are the same here, although most of them spin their own cloth, but most people spin very slowly, the quality is poor, even a village may not have a few spinning machines, and Songjiang side, but every household has, and is spun to sell money, the level of the two is very different, It's not going to be a moment or a half to catch up. ”

Songjiang is indeed the textile center of the Ming Dynasty, the scale is incomparably large, it can be said that it is the largest production center of the entire Ming Dynasty, from cotton planting to textile is the entire one-stop industrial chain, and the silk in Suzhou is different from the export in addition to its own use, the main market of Songjiang cloth is of course in the country, and in addition to the cotton and spinning area in Shandong, the rest of the place is almost a blank, the cloth in the north is mostly Songjiang cloth except for a few Shandong cloth, most of them are Songjiang cloth, From the cheapest a few dollars a horse to a few taels or even a dozen or twenty taels of high-end goods, there are dozens of categories alone.

If Heyusheng can produce more than one million pieces of cloth in the future, the blow to Shandong cloth will be devastating, and Songjiang cloth will of course be greatly affected, and its sales will be reduced by at least more than 30%, but it is not about Heyusheng.

"I wonder what Brother Song thinks?"

"The gears of a clock." Song Yingxing didn't sell Guan Zi either, and took out a sketch from his arms.

Song Yingxing said: "This is the result that I have recently considered, to drive the spindle with the rotation of the clock-style gear, if we design the method, not only drive the three spindles, can drive multiple spindles, one end of the gear can be connected to the screw driven by water power, so that you can use water power, this is the hydraulic textile machine." ”

"Okay, good ......" Chang Jin almost the whole person was lying on the drawing.

A researcher hurriedly handed over the polished crystal glasses, this is a gift from the Jesu Society, there are not many craftsmen who can sharpen the lenses in this era, and there is not one on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

After Chang Jinyou put on his glasses, his eyes were really much clearer, and he stared at the drawings according to the drawings.

Many researchers have given up the work at hand and have instead stood behind Chang Jinyou's research.

The drawings show the prototype of the Zodiac spinning machine, with layers of clock-style gears, gears and screws to drive the spindles, and the other end is a structure connected to the hydraulic force.

If it can be successfully manufactured, a large number of hydraulic looms are automatically spun along both sides of the north and south canals, which not only saves a lot of labor costs, a worker can take care of several mill machines, but also is 24 hours a day of non-stop spinning, manpower spinning is to rest, sleep, eat, this is the most basic needs of human beings, machines and water flow are not needed at all!

You don't have to think hard to know how much these machines will reduce the cost of Heyusheng's fabrics.

The cheapest Songjiang cloth is only sold for three or four dollars of silver in the place of origin, in recent years, a large amount of silver has poured into the Jiangnan area, and the price of prices has begun to rise sharply, and now the price of Songjiang cloth is rising, at least one or two or five more than one horse in the north.

A homesteader family with more than 10 to 30 acres of land, if the wind and rain are smooth and there is no disease or disaster, after removing the positive tax and miscellaneous tax apportionment, the net income of a year is between 6 taels and 10 taels, and the annual income is enough to buy a few pieces of cloth.

In fact, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, clothes were still hard currency, especially jackets with cotton, the price of which was enough for farmers to exchange money when they were nervous, used to buy agricultural tools, seeds, salt and other necessary daily necessities, and when the weather was cold, the cotton jackets were redeemed.

There are many places where a family only has one set of clothes to go out to work, and it is not uncommon for teenage girls to curl up in the quilt with bare butts.

Chang Jinyou slapped the drawings and said, "Good idea, good design!" ”

"It's just a matter of course." Song Yingxing reminded him: "If you want to succeed, the structure of the machine with spindles is very complicated, and to drive the spindles, not to make them chaotic, and then spin the yarn, the machine with multiple spindles requires a lot of tricks......"

"It's going to work." As long as the problem of structural cohesion is solved, the machine from the drawing design to the model machine, and then the experimental machine, and finally put into production to create a large number of machines, which is only a matter of time.

"This is the enlightenment of industrialization that Wen Lan said?" Chang Jinquan's eyes were a little moist!

The real water-powered loom was only made after a hundred years by the British who urgently needed to get rid of the shackles of manpower, after the sheep ate people in the wool mill weaving industry, the British began to march to cotton weaving, and then the emergence of the water-powered spinning machine, and then it was to solve the problem of the steam engine moving from the curved rod to the circular motion, Watt and others finally improved the steam engine, in the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century, the biggest achievement of the first industrial revolution was in the textile industry.

A large number of cheap and productive fabrics began to hit the world market, and in a short period of time the number of spindles in England reached several millions, and then until the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a full two hundred years, how many spindles a country has has become the standard of industrialized countries!

Japan is the first to introduce steel mills after the beginning of the large-scale development of the textile industry, to the beginning of the twentieth century from an uncivilized island country to the early industrialized country, the steel mill is just the beginning, really make it the first pot of gold, create a large number of early profits to support the country to continue to move forward is the textile industry, Japan's spindles from scratch, to the Meiji period of thousands of spindles rapidly developed to have nearly 400,000 spindles, from a cotton yarn importer to an exporter, a large number of Japanese cloth began to dump in China, It is all too convenient to plunder the wealth of agrarian countries by industrial dumping. China seems to be very large, but the economy is scattered by peasant households, with the method of hand-weaving by farmers, can only meet the self-sufficiency of a small number of people, even in the Ming Dynasty is impossible to weave by themselves, not to mention that after a few hundred years, social mobility is greater, and the economic damage of small farmers is more serious in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

It can be said that now and more than 300 years later, the number of spindles and the tonnage of steel is the same, the tonnage of steel produced is the benchmark of a country's industrial capacity, and steel output is also the best standard to measure national strength, and the number of spindles is the standard to measure the degree of industrialization of a country, without a large number of spindles means that there is no real industrialization, like the Qing Dynasty invested heavily in several large steel mills, there is no trick to industrialization at all, you know, Japan in the Meiji period in the thousands of spindlesAt the same time, the United States already had more than 10 million spindles!
