Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guanjia said that he would fight to the end with the Great Yuan in the north, and Wen Tianxiang firmly believed that this was true. In the Great Song Dynasty, most people who knew the past of the Zhao official family believed that the Zhao official family would never give up easily.

When leaving from Zhao Guan's house, Wen Tianxiang frowned and pondered. Listening to what Zhao Taiwei meant, the exposition on the basic concept of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty will soon be completed. In this discourse, Zhao Guanjia wants to tell the past of the Great Song Dynasty and depict the future of the Great Song Dynasty. And listening to what Taiwei Zhao meant, this exposition will be completed before his enthronement ceremony.

The ascension to the throne of the Zhao official family was only a small ceremony. Empress Dowager Yang, who was stripped of the title of Queen Mother, moved away from the imperial city with the small official family, and Zhao Taiwei carried out the enthronement ceremony on the Golden Palace, and Zhao Taiwei became Zhao Guan's family. At present, there are only two countries that have relatively formal diplomatic relations with the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Yuan and the Wa Kingdom, and the Ministry of Rites sent a message to these two countries. The Mongol envoys came, and the Wa Kingdom also sent congratulatory envoys. And so the matter ended.

This is at most a small ceremony, and the big ceremony prepared by Zhao Guan's family seems to be about to do something earth-shattering. Wen Tianxiang is a little obvious now, and he doesn't understand it.

In the new Hangzhou plan, the area centered on the West Lake was the political center of the Great Song Dynasty. In the new Hangzhou plan, the city of Hangzhou will expand farther away, and as the prefect of Hangzhou, Wen Tianxiang will have to take on a lot of work. For national affairs, he left it behind for the time being.

In recent years, the rainy season means that a new round of silk textile industry work has been fully launched, Wen Tianxiang served as the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, and the textile boom in Songjiang Prefecture began with the cotton harvest after August every year. Then the cotton is deseeded, spun and woven under the drive of a hydraulic machine. Cotton cloth generated huge incomes and quickly replaced silk and linen as the mainstream cloth.

Just when many people thought that the strong demand for cotton would lead to cotton fields in Hangzhou, Zhao Guanjia ordered the start of large-scale cotton planting in the Huai River Valley. As a result, the cotton spinning industry that may have appeared in Hangzhou disappeared, and the silk industry, which was already very developed, continued to develop. Wen Tianxiang is now going to the silk factory in Hangzhou to visit and study.

Originally, when an official of Wen Tianxiang's level arrived at a factory, it was condescension. However, the society violently attacked this statement, if it is condescension, then there is only one possibility, that is, Wen Tianxiang himself is a master of silk. In order to solve the problem, Hangzhou Silk Factory will invite experts to inspect the factory and make suggestions.

Since Wen Tianxiang himself is a white-necked man in the textile industry, he can only go there in the name of learning.

Sitting in his carriage, Wen Tianxiang felt uncomfortable when he thought of this name in his heart. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and it was precisely because it was right that Wen Tianxiang felt unhappy in his heart. He is a dignified prefect of Hangzhou, which is equivalent to the mayor of the capital of Kaifeng Prefecture. At the same time, as a cadre of the headquarters of the China Society, he actually had to 'learn' from a group of ordinary people. It's not right or wrong, it's just a little bit of a sense of negativity that people can't swallow the term brings.

When Wen Tianxiang entered the textile factory, he still felt very unhappy, and after he entered the workshop, he didn't care about such a mood. The smell in the silk reeling workshop made Wen Tianxiang feel uncomfortable, and it was difficult to describe the taste, like cooking some kind of meat, but not like it. It's like the smell of pigskin being scorched by high temperatures, but it doesn't have that mushy smell.

Because of his lack of knowledge, Wen Tianxiang didn't know that silk was actually a protein, and the silkworm chrysalis inside the cocoon in a cauldron filled with hot water was also rich in protein. It's normal to have this smell.

The silk reeling workshop has high temperature, high flavor and high humidity. Feeling very uncomfortable. So the unit personnel of the factory introduced, "Wen Zhifu, we have four shifts here, each shift is six hours. In the middle, I still go out to rest. ”

Wen Tianxiang is tall and over 185. He looked at these running devices condescendingly and asked, "But I don't know what this silk reeling is all about?" ”

At first, the director of the factory had the instinctive idea of asking questions from the government university, but when he heard such a question, his eyes lit up, and he immediately had confidence in his heart. So the factory director hurriedly introduced.

The silk reeling process includes the thread of the cooked cocoon, the arrangement, the collection of the cocoon silk, the sheath, the reeling, the addition and connection of the cocoon silk of some cocoons after reeling or breaking in the middle, and the winding and drying of raw silk.

Suoxu is to put the cocoon into a pot with a high temperature of about 90 °C, so that the surface of the cocoon broom and the cocoon layer rub against each other, so that the silk. The cocoon of Sodex is called a cocoon.

Remove the messy threads on the surface of the cocoon layer and sort out the correct thread. The cocoon that is properly organized is called the cocoon.

After the process of collecting and sheathing, the Zhengxu cocoon is put into the silk reeling soup at a temperature of about 40 °C to reduce the glue force between the cocoon silk and dissociate the cocoon silk in order. If the strength of the cocoon filament in the dissociation is less than the glue force in between, the broken head will occur, and this phenomenon is called falling thread. The cocoon reeling to the chrysalis lining and falling is called natural falling; The one that is reeled to the middle of the line is called the halfway line.

These need to be followed by threading and threading.

That is to say, when the cocoon is finished or falls halfway, in order to maintain the denier specification of the raw silk and continuous reeling, the thread of the prepared cocoon must be added, which is called threading. The vertical reeling is manually added, the automatic reeling is added by the machine, and the threading is completed by the connector. Due to the different titers and thicknesses of the cocoon silk of a cocoon, in order to ensure the quality of raw silk, in addition to ensuring the graining, cocoons must also be matched when adding threads, that is, each thread maintains a certain proportion of the number of thick skin cocoons and thin skin cocoons.

Wen Tianxiang listened very carefully, and even so, he soon began to feel dizzy. For a brain worker like Wen Tianxiang, this situation is not common. Generally speaking, it is everything that Wen Tianxiang knows that makes others dizzy.

Looking at the introduction of the factory director, Wen Tianxiang suddenly had a sentence in his heart, pay attention to knowledge everywhere. He originally thought that silk production was similar to cotton production, but he didn't expect that the process of this technology was so complicated, and there were too many doorways in it.

Silk reeling is very complex and highly technical. When he arrived at the textile workshop, Wen Tianxiang felt that he could understand everything in front of him. The cotton mill in Songjiang Province has similar equipment to the silk mill. The difference is probably that the cotton yarn in the textile mill is coarse, while the silk is thinner. Everything else works in the same way. In other words, the sound of the textile equipment in the workshop is so loud that the surrounding sound becomes very small. Even if he spoke with his throat pulled, the person next to him could only hear a small voice.

After the visit, Wen Tianxiang only felt that his liver was fluttering. When wearing silk clothes, Wen Tianxiang felt smooth and delicate, and the feel was excellent. Personally experience the process of producing silk products, wet, hot, smelly, noisy, and all kinds of other things, all of which have nothing to do with beauty, delicacy, nobility and magnificence.

"You've worked hard." Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but say what Taiwei Zhao often said to the workers.

Hearing what the prefect said, the factory director was quite excited, and he hurriedly said: "Where, where." The prefect of Wen is too polite. ”

After Wen Tianxiang visited the factory, he went to the canteen of the factory, and visited the kindergarten, primary school and middle school near the factory area. Then I went to the residential area of the factory to see. Compared to Wen Tianxiang's residence, these residential areas naturally appear shabby and narrow. It is also a three-story building, that is, a corridor with seven or eight houses densely lined up on both sides. These rooms are provided for single workers and workers who have just arrived in the factory. As for each floor, there is a toilet at each end of the building. Workers don't have to run to a distant public toilet.

Workers with wives and children can ask for a house with a coat room if they can work in the textile workshop for two years according to the number of years. If you can become a managerial position or work for five years, you can get a two-bedroom house. It resembles an apartment building.

This is the limit of state-subsidized houses, which only charge rent, and the property rights belong to the state. If you still want a better house, work hard, save hard, and buy it yourself.

It's not easy to buy a big house. Wen Tianxiang's own family was very wealthy, but when the Great Song Dynasty faced a crisis, he sold most of his family property and used the money to form a militia group. Very fortunately, at that time, Wen Tianxiang had a lot of bills in his hands that looked like they had been scrapped. The banknotes were handed over to Wen Tianxiang's younger brothers for safekeeping.

When Zhao Taiwei came to power and quickly restored his purchasing power, Wen Tianxiang's property recovered a lot. Even so, now Wen Tianxiang can only rely on the money in his hand to buy three houses at market prices.

After visiting the silk factory, the prefect visited other factories one after another. Time flies quickly, and it's July.

In the 21st century, most people know this sentence. And understand it with 21st century thinking.

The July in 'July Flowing Fire' does not refer to the seventh month of the solar calendar, nor does it refer to the seventh month of the lunar calendar, but refers to the seventh month of the 'Zhou calendar'. "Xia Zheng Jianyin, Yin Zheng Jianchou, Zhou Zheng Jianzi", the July of the Zhou calendar is the September of the summer calendar, that is, the September of today's lunar calendar, which is roughly equivalent to October of the Gregorian calendar.

'Flowing fire' does not mean that the scorching sun scorches the earth like a flame. 'Fire' is the name of the star, not the planet Mars in the solar system, where 'fire' refers to Great Mars, which is Antares. A red supergiant star in the Antares Milky Way and the 14th brightest star in the Earth's night sky. Every year in the summer calendar in the fifth month of the twilight in the middle of the sky, after the summer calendar in June, it gradually moves westward. The heat begins to subside. Hence the name 'Flowing Fire'. The ancients discovered that the Great Mars gradually migrated to the west, and the weather began to cool down when it fell.

Like the July Stream, most people in the 21st century have heard the phrase 'a strip of water' and understood it according to their own ideas.

In his signed commentary on the agreement resigned in July, Mr. Zhao described the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Yuan as 'a strip of water', and those who had read the book knew Mr. Zhao's attitude toward Mongolia. And Hao Ren Wanhu saw that there was no way to participate in the ceremony, so he went back to Dadu. Peace will continue for the time being.
