First of all, the improvement of the textile machine is not able to play with the current ability of Zhang San, and even if there is a strong textile machine, there is no suitable raw material, now the cotton is available, but the promotion is not very good, Zhang San wants to engage in textile may not even collect enough raw materials.

If you want to plant cotton on a large scale, the conditions are not mature, the first is that the cotton yield is not high now, and the second is that cash crops will occupy farmland, and the bigger Zhang San does, the less grain production will be, and in the end, if you don't do well, you will make the Great Song Dynasty short of grain, that is a sin.

I remember that after Zhao You came to power, the earth ushered in the Xiaoice Age, the rapid growth of population, frequent natural disasters, ethnic minorities going south and other problems made the Great Song gradually become short of food, Zhang San did not want to cause starvation everywhere because of his greed for textile profits, so that the number of Han people decreased.

Now the population of the whole Song Dynasty plus the Han people in Liao is only about 100 million, which is obviously not enough for people to expand their territory and occupy territory, it is easy to conquer a piece of land, but if you want to digest a piece of land, you need the majority of the Han population.

Not to mention the occupation of Australia and America, Zhang San felt that it was not enough to occupy a single region in the South Seas, Northeast China, Siberia, Central Asia, the Gulf and other regions, even if Zhang San encouraged childbearing, the number of poor Zhang San Yisheng estimated that the number of Han people would not necessarily exceed 500 million.

Therefore, Zhang San hoped to try his best to avoid large-scale population loss, and each of the Han people was precious, so Zhang San knew that as long as he got the textile and steam engine, he could achieve the industrial revolution, but Zhang San was not prepared to do it until he obtained a large amount of stable grain output.

However, if you don't engage in textile innovation, it doesn't mean that you can't do textiles, since there is an idle population here, Zhang San plans to build a small textile workshop first, not for anything else, that is, it is good to settle the population alone.

As for the garment factory, this is even more needed, and now Zhang San's school has begun to popularize school uniforms, which are made by Zhang San according to the template of fabrics and subcontracted to children and women in nearby villages, and then pay them the corresponding wages.

In the next step, the uniforms of the dart bureau should also be unified, and even all the people who work for Zhang San must be issued at least two sets of work clothes a year, so it is necessary for Zhang San to set up a garment factory, although there is no sewing machine now, but even if it is the use of manpower, the garment making process is unpacked and then made into a production line, which can also improve efficiency.

Zhang San told Shuang'er his thoughts, and Shuang'er was very happy to hear it, but Zhang San really didn't plan to let Shuang'er do it, one was that she had no relevant experience, and the second was that this work was too tiring, and Zhang San didn't want Shuang'er to be distracted.

Zhang San wrote down this matter in the notebook and wanted to arrange Li Si to do it specifically tomorrow, but Shuang'er really disagreed, she volunteered to invite Li Si over, and wanted Zhang San to arrange things tonight.

Zhang San didn't postpone seeing that she was anxious, she sat in the room and waited, and after a while, Li Si was called over by Shuang'er, and Zhang San was not polite, and told him his thoughts.

Li Si thought for a while and said: "Third brother, this matter is not difficult, the first few times I made clothes and shoes for the children, they were all in charge of the first batch of recruited sisters-in-law, thousands of sets of clothes were made, and they also figured out the doorway inside, we can let them make a group first, organize a group of people to try first, there is no problem in building a workshop."

The workshop can also be managed by them, anyway, they just make clothes for their own people, and it doesn't matter if they look good or not. I just asked them to speed it up. ”

Zhang San shook his head and said: "It is precisely because we are the people inside the people who wear it, so this dress must be designed to look better and the quality must be higher, this is not only our face but also our attitude towards them, and people like Weiyuan Dart Bureau who run all over the world, a beautiful and recognizable dress can be remembered by people along the way."

The style of these clothes must be good-looking, we have to find ingenious people, design good-looking clothing, and then make it, the clothes must be beautiful, practical, strong, durable, and easy to clean. ”

Zhang San was afraid that he wouldn't understand well and said: "You find someone to design several styles first, and after you do it, bring it over and I'll choose it." ”

Li Si nodded and took the order, Shuang'er saw that Zhang San was so concerned about this matter, and also felt sweet in his heart, Zhang San didn't care to talk to her more, the dart boat prepared by Weiyuan Dart Bureau had already stopped at the dock.

Zhang San found a group of trustworthy workers and began to send bags of copper coins to the ships at the dock, and these copper coins would be sent to Sea Shark Island for use.

Zhang San's last trip to Jiangnan was all silver, and when he used it there, the large amount could be paid with silver, but the small amount of money still had to be exchanged for copper coins in the silver number.

Especially on Sea Shark Island, everyone used to have no money, and there was no shopping demand, so the island still used the original barter model, with Zhang San went to the island, and then began to purchase materials from outside the island and transport them back to the island, paying wages to the people who worked, and the island's commodity trading began to use coins excessively.

But there are not enough copper coins on the island, Zhang San also used copper coins to hire workers at the beginning, but Zhang San did not have enough copper coins in his hands, and the silver number in the Jiangnan area not only had to charge a handling fee, but also mixed with a large number of inferior coins and even sometimes used iron coins.

Therefore, according to the law of eliminating good money from bad money, Zhang San received almost all the bad money used by Zhang San from the grocery store on the island, which was nothing to Zhang San, but he turned around with bad money on the island and returned to his own hands, which still made Zhang San feel a little uncomfortable.

And this batch of copper coins in Tokyo is indeed the opposite, before each store pays the bill, it will definitely go through a simple selection, inferior currency will be used in the purchase, and the coins that can be collected by Yang sister-in-law are basically the ones in good condition.

Therefore, Zhang San planned to take these copper coins to the island for circulation from the beginning, and Zhang San needed to transport more copper coins to the island in the future, until he had his own copper mine and produced his own currency, and before that, Zhang San needed to raise enough copper coins to invest in the circulation field.

Zhang San didn't know much about finance, but Zhang San knew that in the future, whether it was Sea Shark Island or Ryukyu Island, the people he recruited would definitely be refugees, and these people would come to the island empty-handed and start a fire, and they would create value on the island, and these values needed to be expressed in currency.

For example, if someone hunts a deer and can't eat it themselves, and takes it to the market, if there is not enough copper money in the whole of Ryukyu, what kind of scene will it be?

I was busy until midnight, the money was all loaded, Ling Zhen quietly came up to the boat with a large group of craftsmen, Yang sister-in-law packed a package for Yang Tai, and gave a few instructions, Yang Tai strode up to Zhang San, hugged his fists and saluted.

Zhang San patted him on the shoulder and said: "The money on the ship is important, but you are more important, if you really can't do it, I ask you to give up the protection task and come back first, we are trying to find a way to get it back, don't be angry, pay attention to safety." ”[.]
