With the arrival of the rainy season, the weather in Guanzhong is getting hotter and hotter, and the demand for summer clothes has increased greatly. —{2}{3}{}{x}]

Xia Yu was busy with her feet on the ground, she had not rested for two consecutive months, and there were thousands of female textile workers who were as busy as her, lighting lamps and boiling oil in three shifts of relay fighting on the front line, and she had not rested since the spring blossomed.

Wei Zifu came over with a stack of solid data: "The test results of the new textile machine, Sister Xia Yu come and take a look." ”

"Well, I heard that this development seems to be very smooth, and the prince also personally went to the workshop to guide the direction of research." Xia Yu greeted the younger sister of the Wei family with a smile.

Originally, in the Hou Mansion, Wei Junru and her were in the same competitive relationship, she would never give a good face to the Wei family, since Wei Junru was raised as a concubine, Xia Yu was beaten to the garment workshop, and her status became precarious, and when she saw the Wei family again, it was inevitable that her confidence was a little insufficient, and the tone of her speech became more gentle, not to mention that Xia Yu learned from Princess Yangxin that Wei Zifu had a special identity, and she must be more wooed and cultivated to maintain her intimacy with the Hou Mansion.

Therefore, in the few months that Wei Zifu came to the garment workshop, the thirteen-year-old girl became the second manager of the garment workshop, and her real power was limited to Xia Yu, the confidant of Princess Yangxin.

After taking the thick kraft paper bag and opening it, Xia Yu couldn't help but gasp, Xia Yu exclaimed: "Textile machine instruction manual, this is not a testing machine!" ”

"Really? I didn't look at it just now. ”

When I opened the brown paper bag, I counted at least five or six hundred pages of scattered materials, and people were dizzy when they looked at the complex structural diagram. The supporting function description data and equipment maintenance data are dazzling.

"Really! It looks like the new loom is amazing. ”

The second daughter flipped through the manual with great interest, and the more she looked down, the more thrilling she felt. The new weaving machines have significantly increased the efficiency of spinning and weaving.

The new loom is similar to a spinning wheel, but there are some differences.

The spinning wheel is the loom handed down by the ancient ancestors, a small yarn wheel with a stream of silk thread slowly rotates, so the traditional process has hardly been improved from the past to this day, people use such primitive tools to spin and weave cloth day after day, low efficiency, less output and waste of labor, resulting in expensive cloth.

The grinding wheels of the new textile machines are much larger than those of the traditional spinning wheels. The wheel, which resembles a grinding disc, rotates slowly under the drive of a waterwheel, and the spindle wheel drives forty strands of spindle spinning at the same time, and the raw silk and twine extracted will be forty times as much as before.

"Forty times. What a great weaving machine! ”

"What's a shuttle?"

"The instructions for use are shuttles that do not require two people to write, and can be woven by one person, doubling the degree of weaving, and weaving twice as wide as before."

"That means it's not like weaving a horse before. Now weave two horses. The cloth used to be five feet wide, but now the cloth is one foot wide? ”

"Seems like so."

A large textile machine can increase the spinning degree by 4o times.

A large loom can increase the weaving efficiency by 4 times.

It takes more than a dozen workers to work together to play, requiring an extremely complex division of labor, and also requiring each textile female worker to have professional textile operation technology, even though there are so many demanding and complex requirements, but the work efficiency is there. The raw silk produced in one day is 4o times that of the previous one, and the cloth is 4 times that of the previous one. No one will say no to it.

As it turned out, Binh Duong Garment Factory soon added 20 sets of looms, each set is a large loom and a large loom, and 9oo excellent female weavers will be responsible for 12 hours a day uninterrupted operation, striving to maximize production efficiency.

Only three months have passed, that is, in July of the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and in August of 141 BC.

Every day from the Binh Duong garment mill pulled out of the raw silk reached an astronomical amount, the market also from short supply to oversupply, the price of raw silk began to dive all the way, from 1oo money to 5o money per spindle, the price of twine from 2o money per spindle to 1o money per spindle, the price of raw silk and hemp was cut in half, the impact was that the price of silk and linen cloth was cut by a full 3 percent.

The merchants were almost crazy, they ate as much cheap cloth as they could, a steady stream of carriages and ships went to the Kanto, and cheaper linen and silk rushed to every corner of the country, not only the ordinary textile households in Guanzhong had to face the crisis of bankruptcy, but even the prevention households in the Kanto region were also full of complaints.

Until one morning, nearly 1,000 yellow-skinned textile households held large signs and came to protest outside the Binh Duong garment factory.

"Our family is about to run out, our children are waiting to be fed, please give us a way to live, I will kneel down and kowtow to you!"

"You Pingyang Garment Workshop can ignore the price reduction, we have to eat, you are going to force all of us to death if you are so low-priced, you are too much!"

"Protest against cheap cloth ruining our lives, let the price return to its original place, and let the unscrupulous profiteer Binh Duong garment factory be severely punished!"

"If you don't give us an explanation, we will die here today and never leave!"

The crowd of protesters was excited, and some excited people bit their fingers and wrote bloody letters in protest, and even the patrolling soldiers of the Northern Army did not dare to do it lightly.

Li Dang led three hundred cavalry to patrol over, looked left and right, turned around and walked back.

The subordinate head was puzzled: "Captain, aren't we going to help Pingyang Garment Factory?" That's the property of the Hou family in Pingyang. ”

"Help's! Are you stupid to be Lao Tzu? You see that those weavers are all poor families near Chang'an, how can they talk to their hometown elders after they are done? Don't forget that the children of the Northern Army come from a good family in Longxi, Guanzhong, and these weavers may have your fellow villagers and elders. Li Dare snorted.

Tun Chang thought to himself that you were the same, but changed his words: "But I heard that the garment workshop is presided over by Princess Yangxin, what can I do?" ”

"So I'm going back, hurry up and tell Lieutenant Sù that something big is going to happen to the Hou family in Pingyang!" Li Dare shouted and slapped the horse and hurried away.

The Pingyang Hou family has caused a big incident again, and the reason why one word is used is because the things that have been caused in recent years have a lot to do with the Pingyang Hou family.

This time it's better than ever. Because his family provoked the ordinary weavers in Guanzhong.

Wu'an Hou Mansion.

Tian Wei looked surprised: "Weaver protest? What did Pingyang Hou say? ”

"There's no news yet, and I'm guessing I'm scratching my head about this, and the prince has encountered a rare good thing!" Ji Fu said proudly.

"Oh? Good for me too? ”

"Of course there are benefits. You are the Tingwei, it is most appropriate to intervene in the name of the Tingwei Mansion, but when you are an official, you should be the master of the people, as long as you take a little side to the side of the weavers, the Marquis of Pingyang will suffer this loss. ”

Tian Wei shook his head: "No, the Pingyang Garment Factory is my niece's property, and it is inconvenient for me to do it." ”

"Are you worried about ......?"

"You know that my sister is the Queen Mother. You should know my sister's character, she can't tolerate infighting in her own family, and I can't fall out with my own family. The fight between me and Cao Shi is for the public, but I can't attack Wan'er, it's not allowed. ”

Tian Wei was very embarrassed in her heart, and her sister Wang Huan's sons and three daughters were all golden branches and jade leaves. It's not good for him to be an uncle when he attacks his niece. Besides, he himself is not a close relative of the Wang family, and his status is not as good as that of Gaihou Wang Xin.

Wang Wan has a red line in her heart, and if there is a big conflict in the family, she can't let outsiders see jokes.

Tian Wei stumbled on Cao Shi, and was later warned by Wang Huan, if it weren't for his rhetoric to erase the matter, and plant a thorn in Cao Shi's status as a prince, I am afraid that he would not even have a chance to fight with Cao Shi seriously.

Prime Minister's Office.

Xu Chang was lying on the soft collapse and napping, and when he heard the commotion from the Pingyang Garment Factory, he sat up suddenly.

"Where is the Marquis of Pingyang?"

Prime Minister Shi Tianren said: "It should still be in Weiyang Palace." ”

The old man said. It is strange that the price of cloth in the market has been falling recently, and it turned out to be a disturbance caused by the clothing factory in Binh Duong. That's not good! ”

"What does the prime minister mean?"

The old god of Xuchang was lying back to the soft collapse: "The old man is not interesting, he just feels that he is competing with the people for profit, and the practice of Pingyang Garment Workshop is to be discussed, and I hope that Pingyang Hou can survive this catastrophe." ”

"I hope to get over it." Tian Ren said absentmindedly.

The protests in the city are not small, and the distance between Chang'an East City and Weiyang Palace is not short, and it has not yet reached Weiyang Palace at this moment.

Weiyang Palace Map Room.

"Your Majesty, please see, this place is Huangshui, both sides of the Huangshui are very good pasture pastoral areas, this place is the river, the upper reaches of the Jiuqu River that meanders for thousands of miles, the river water here is not polluted by the mud and yellow sand of the Hetao, and the river water is still clear."

"My brother-in-law just said that the pioneer team took root in the Hehuang Valley, so did their development achieve any results?"

"Yes, just chopped off a couple of troublesome thorns."

Liu Che's brows furrowed: "Something happened again?" ”

"It's inevitable to cause trouble, those people also know what kind of goods, in Chang'an City, they are the ruffians and scoundrels who invite disasters, their parents have long been unaccustomed to seeing lazy faces, and take the opportunity to drive them all to the side of the river, and if they do a good job, they will have the opportunity to return to their hometowns in the future, and if they don't do well, they don't want to come back again in this life, that kind of person will definitely cause trouble if they can't eat and sleep well in Hehuang."

Cao Shi said very lightly, the actual situation is not so simple.

Yuan Chong couldn't suppress the children of Xungui, and in less than two months after arriving in the Hehuang Valley, he provoked a big basket, and several Xungui children took a fancy to a shepherdess, and even coaxed a few people to do it, the shepherdesss girl was originally a yellow flower girl, although she was set to in-law, but after all, she was not married, and it didn't matter if she was with the Han people, but what made her angry was that the Han people shamelessly regarded him as a desire, and several people took turns to come up.

Turning his head to eat and wipe clean, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, the unlucky shepherdess had no way to appeal and had to go home, and it didn't take long for her to be pregnant, and her fiancé's wife who had not passed through the door was pregnant with Liujia, and when she was forced to learn that the cunning Han had taken away his lover by despicable means, the seven-foot man was immediately furious and wanted to ask for an explanation.

The fiancé of the shepherdess, as well as her parents and brothers, brought dozens of people to ask for an explanation, and her fiancé kept saying that he was going to kill those boys and had some hatred in his heart, but it is conceivable that the sons of Xun Gui immediately quit.

Good students dissuaded can't do it, more than 100 people on both sides staged a full martial arts, the Han people are tall and strong, and they take a lot of advantage, Sheng Rong saw that his fists and feet were at a loss, so he pulled out his knife, and put down a few noble children in front of him.

The two sides drew their knives one after another as soon as they saw this posture, and finally turned into a fire, killing more than a dozen people and injuring dozens of people, Sheng Rong's knife was not sharp, and Xun Guizi's loss was not large, but it was Sheng Rong who drew the knife first who suffered heavy casualties.

Get the news, that's it!

Sheng Rong, who was originally very enthusiastic, suddenly wiped his face and took thousands of people to settle accounts with the Han people.

Sheng Rong's knife is not as sharp as the Han people, but the bow and arrow are not bad at all, the two sides are tense and tense, and the situation is very critical when it seems that a fight is about to start.

Yuan Chong invited Wu Yingqi, and the two of them personally found a few noble leaders to have a showdown, and laid out two paths for them to choose, either hand over those few people who would die, or everyone would die for those people.

The cruel facts were in front of him, and there were still people who made a posture of stubborn resistance, Zhao Yingqi became angry on the spot, and all the stubborn resistance was taken down, and punished according to the standards for violating military orders.

Early the next morning.

A few unlucky ghosts were handed over, and they were captured on the spot by several wolf-like creatures, supposedly to kill them as a sacrifice for the victims.

After dealing with the contradictions, the two sides reached a consensus through secret negotiations, and continued to follow the original bilateral trade agreement to export worthless saline-alkali cattle and sheep, herbs and ores, horses, in exchange for Han iron cooking utensils, refined coal, silk cloth, tea and ceramics, as well as wicker, bamboo, wooden zuò bags, shoes and hats and other handicrafts.

"Small troubles are easy to deal with, there will always be conflicts between new immigrants and natives, the contradiction between the two sides lies in the distribution of benefits, we will traffic the surplus cheap goods in Chang'an and dump them in the past, in exchange for useful items for us, this is the right way of thinking, and similar means can be used to deal with the Xiongnu in the future."

"What I said is very reasonable, I want to lead the Rongdi tribe in northern Xinjiang, and I can't bring them enough benefits to move Rongdi's heart."

Liu Che thought about the promotion of military reform again, and he was ready to make some changes to the Northern Army, and set up eight captains in the Northern Army system, independent of many captains.

The eight lieutenants are named separately, the lieutenant of the middle base, the captain of the tun cavalry, the captain of the infantry, the captain of the Yue cavalry, the captain of Changshui, the captain of the Hu cavalry, the captain of the shooting sound, and the captain of the tiger ben.

The dispatch of the Han army was based on the whole thousand, so the eight colonels controlled 1,000 people, and these 1,000 troops were all heavy cavalry with helmets and armor, and these 8,000 heavy cavalry were the core content of the military reform.

Liu Che paced.

"Iron armor, the iron armor you said is called Mingguang is good, how many sets can be forged in a month?"

"About ten sets."

"What? Only ten sets? This is not good, 100 sets per month is not enough, at least 500 sets per month is enough to change clothes. ”

Cao Shi said with a solemn expression: "Do you really plan to show eight thousand heavy rides?" The minister thought that a thousand was enough, too much cost and expensive maintenance could not be tolerated. ”

"That's right! I need 8,000 heavy cavalry instead of 1,000, 1,000 is too little, and I must fight the Huns to the death, it must be 8,000! (To be continued!)
