Without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, the jailer on the side walked over with a smile and said, "I said two adults, this is the place to talk, if the younger one is two adults, go to the Wanghai Tea House to ask for a pot of the best dragon well, and talk while drinking." ”

As soon as the man heard this, he laughed a few times, stood up, and said, "I'm so anxious that I forgot about these things, Lord Lin, please go to the teahouse with me for a while, I have something important to ask for." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "If we have something, let's talk about it on the road, we still have something, so we won't go to the teahouse." ”

When he got out of the prison, the man glanced at Shen Wanqing who was following him, and the meaning was very clear, men wanted to talk about big things, women should go away, Shen Wanqing, who lived in the 21st century, obviously did not have such an awareness, she ignored the man's eyes at all, and walked by herself.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't say anything, the man had to give up and let Shen Wanqing listen to the side, and the man smiled: "Lord Lin, I've seen you, I don't know if you still remember me?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I see that you are familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen you." ”

The man smiled: "In the next surname Zhang, the name Jian (pronounced "Jane"), also went to the opening ceremony of Mr. Manshan's Daxin Yarn Factory, but in the lower official and in the back, Lord Lin is in a high position and in the front, so the adults may not have seen me." ”

Shen Wanqing exclaimed "ah" and said, "It turns out that you are Zhang Jian!" ”

As long as you have studied modern Chinese history, it is impossible not to know Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian is a famous industrialist in modern Chinese history, he single-handedly founded the Dasheng Yarn Factory, almost the founder of China's modern light industry, and he is also a famous educator, in 1905 and Ma Xiangbo founded Fudan Public School, which is the predecessor of Fudan University.

Shen Wanqing had only heard of Zhang Jian in history textbooks, but she didn't expect to see it alive today, so she exclaimed, Lin Yuan thought to herself: "What are you so surprised about, Zhang Jian hasn't run a yarn factory and school at this time." ”

So Lin Yuan covered up and said: "She has long heard that there is a champion named Zhang Jian, but she didn't expect to see it today, so she was surprised." This is another legend of Zhang Jian, who was appointed in 1894.

Zhang Jian smiled humbly and said: "Where, where, as the saying goes: useless is a scholar, and the title of the champion is not mentioned." Lin Yuanzhi said that he was being modest, and the literati of this era attached great importance to fame, otherwise Zhang Jian would not have participated in the imperial examination several times in a row.

Zhang Jian humbled himself, and then said: "That day I was like sitting on pins and needles at the opening ceremony of the Daxin Yarn Factory, the sage ruled the world with rituals, and used spinning silk and linen as thread to make clothes to cover the body, but today, our clothes have to rely on the Japanese people, isn't this a shame for my Celestial Empire?" ”

Zhang Jian said: "So I also want to open a yarn factory, and I ask adults to help!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "How can I help?" ”

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "If you don't mean to flatter your lord, in the lower view of this court, there are no more than ten people who are loyal to the people, and your lord is one of them. ”

The main work of the yarn mill is spinning, the so-called spinning is an important part of the textile industry, the raw materials used in textiles, such as hemp, cotton, silk, are stirred into a large ball at the beginning, and the weaving needs to be a thread, spinning is to turn these large clusters of raw materials into a line.

Lin Yuan smiled: "Okay! I've got you covered, but you'll have to promise me one condition. ”

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "Don't worry, I must be indispensable to the adult." ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't want your shares, I want you to go to Germany to buy a batch of goods in the name of the yarn factory." ”

Zhang Jian, who had never heard of this company, asked, "What to buy?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "You need to buy a lot of things, tomorrow I will send someone to send you the list, you can rest assured, the money will be paid by me." ”

Zhang Jian said again that he would pay for Lin Yuan to buy it, and after some resignation, Zhang Jian said goodbye and left.

Shen Wanqing asked Lin Yuan: "Aren't you going to make weapons on a large scale?" Why do you want him to buy things for you, a person who is engaged in textiles, and what use can he buy be? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "If I tell which company I went to buy goods, you will understand, I want him to go to Zeiss in Germany." ”

Shen Wanqing suddenly realized: "Zeiss company, I have heard of this name, and many of the camera lenses I use have this name. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Yes, in our time, ZEISS has developed into the largest manufacturer of camera lenses, in this era, they have not yet developed to that point. ”

Shen Wanqing asked again: "Then what are you buying the lens of the camera for?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "What I want is not their lens, what I want is their optical glass." ”

Seeing that Shen Wanqing was a little dazed, Lin Yuan said: "Optical glass is an important component in the manufacture of optical equipment, such as telescopes used by commanders and sights used by artillery, all of which need to be made of optical glass, so these optical glasses are the eyes of an army." In previous battles, I found that the Qing army was extremely lacking in these optical equipment, so sometimes, the role of artillery was very close, not only that, because the existing optical ranging equipment was not accurate enough, resulting in inaccurate artillery. ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Don't you have these things in China? I also have to go to foreign countries to buy it. ”

Lin Yuan said: "The optical industry is considered an emerging industry in the entire world, and only the industrial powers such as Britain, France and Germany can manufacture optical glass. ”

Shen Wanqing asked again: "Then can't we make it?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "We have technical materials, but we lack manufacturing equipment, the modern optical industry in the optical glass crystallization, most of the use of metal platinum crucibles as containers, but we do not have platinum now." In this era, refractory materials are used as containers, but we do not know how to ensure purity, once there are impurities in the crucible into the liquid to be crystallized in the optical glass, then it will greatly affect the performance of the optical glass, however, sooner or later we will have our own optical industry, with our ability, will be far ahead in the world. ”

Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "In this way, you are using a spinning machine to weave the eyes of the army." ”

Lin Yuan laughed twice, and Shen Wanqing suddenly said, "I'm afraid you can't realize this plan!" ”
