In the historical memory belonging to Qin Xiang, the silk fabrics of China have been developing very steadily, although there is a fault in the middle, but each dynasty and generation has its own characteristics of silk fabrics.

For example, during the ancient Shu period, the Shu brocade that was once famous and worth thousands of gold.

It is like the silk brocade produced during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

And in this era, although the historical advance is similar to that of China, it is very different in many conveniences.

Silk fabrics made by jacquard machines such as Shu brocade and silk brocade have never appeared. Even in history, some silk fabrics of plain weave are extremely rare.

At this time, the western extension was still in the early stage of the development of the textile industry, and the development of various silk fabrics was slow, and even the dyeing technology was just in the middle stage.

Qin Xiang is not a pioneer, she can only be called a porter of history.

The splendid treasures of Chinese civilization will be moved to this dynasty and continued. And some civilizations are not suitable for her to develop, and can only pick some industries that have an impact on history and will not restrict the development of the country.

Moreover, she has the heart to bring in some Chinese culture, but she also has the powerlessness. She is not good at poetry, and she is not good at taking the wisdom of her predecessors as her own.

used "Thirty-six Strategies", she was very empty in her heart, lest it would bring great changes to the world.

Fortunately, so far it has been positive, and there has been no bad impact.

The jacquard machine is Qin Xiang's idea to continue to promote the textile industry. Qin Xiang is not a professional in the textile industry, and he does not know how to restore a jacquard machine, let alone a large jacquard machine. But she had the old craftsman, and his companions who had mastered many trades.

According to Qin Xiang's description from memory, plus some use feelings, the old craftsman made a small jacquard machine.

This jacquard machine is almost not much different from the old-fashioned jacquard machine that Qin Xiang once used, and it is even better.

Therefore, we should never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

The ancients were limited by the times and their horizons, and in the eyes of modern people, they were inevitably short-sighted. Qin Xiang scoffed at this point of view, but if you are willing to read more historical materials and learn more about ancient literature, you will clearly understand that the ancients have much surpassed modern people in military, cultural, commercial and other aspects.

Just as "The Art of War" is put into modern times, it can still be effective. It is an ancient product with a history of thousands of years from modern China.

And not only "The Art of War", the ancestors of China have left too much valuable wealth to future generations.

In Xiyan, Qin Xiang has to live as an ancient person in order to continue more and better culture. The restoration of the jacquard machine is only the first step, only a small step.

And now, even this small step has been ruined, one can imagine how angry Qin Xiang's heart is.

If only she were a black-hearted businessman who was bent on getting into the eyes of money, but the problem was...... Qin Xiang didn't think she was. She founded the art hall and also donated money to the local charity hall, thinking that she could barely be regarded as an ordinary good person. So who is it that knows that there is a jacquard machine in her factory and wants to calculate her?

The old craftsman carefully checked the jacquard machine, and he was also sad: "This machine is temporarily unusable, and we have to wait for the beam to be reinstalled." But don't worry, it's a light job and doesn't take much effort. ”

Qin Xiang bowed his head and asked the old craftsman to repair the machine, while he called the person in charge aside to ask.

"Have anyone been asking about the jacquard machine lately?"

The person in charge has an honest face, a middle-aged white-faced man. He wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, and looked panicked: "The owner is aware that the damage to the jacquard machine has absolutely nothing to do with me." About seven or eight days ago, someone approached me and asked me to steal the drawings of the jacquard machine. But I didn't want to, so I refused directly. ”

He scratched his cheeks a little embarrassed, and whispered: "My eldest girl and second girl are all studying in the skill hall, my mother-in-law is also working in a garment factory, and even the old mother and father of the family have taken over the work of knitting sweaters." In addition to earning a lot of money, our family can also save some savings, and the future dowry of the eldest and second girls has also been settled. The owner is like a benefactor to our whole family, how could I do such an ungrateful thing. ”

Qin Xiang was a little surprised, the person in charge was not chosen by her, but recommended by Shopkeeper Lin.

It is said that this person used to be a shopkeeper of the Lin family, but because of illness, he left the Lin family.

However, Qin Xiang sent someone to inquire, but the facts were a little different from what Shopkeeper Lin said. After Shopkeeper Lin became the head of the house, many people came to disturb him, and the person in charge surnamed Zhou was driven out of the Lin family's shop at this time.

To be in charge of her fabric factory, Qin Xiang didn't dare to be sloppy, so he asked the shopkeeper Lin to ask. Shopkeeper Lin looked apologetic, only saying that Shopkeeper Zhou had absolutely no problem, but that she was ashamed of the Zhou family.

Qin Xiang kept the person for a month, and when he saw that he was doing well, he stayed. I never thought that the Zhou family and her Qin Ji still had so much to do with each other.

"You come with me to the design office."

Qin Xiang asked the shopkeeper Zhou to dictate and drew the appearance of these people. Although it can't be completely like, it is like a seventy or eighty percent. This also praises the excellent memory of the shopkeeper next week, which is not unforgettable, but has a good memory.

"These are the few people." Shopkeeper Zhou looked surprised, "Apart from them, I can't think of anything else." ”

"I'll send someone to investigate, and don't let people approach this room for the time being. I've had the other looms checked to avoid any further mistakes. ”

It doesn't matter if you don't check the results, you really found some problems.

Many parts are man-made damage, and once the wear and tear is exceeded, it will cause irreparable results.

Even Qin Xiang was shocked by the news and broke out in a cold sweat.

Not to mention Shopkeeper Zhou, he was almost paralyzed to the ground.

"How good is that......"

"Don't be in a hurry, this matter is not something you and I can handle, let's report to the official."

Qin Xiang still trusts the government of this dynasty very much, at least the government of Fucheng has a good impression of Qin Xiang. The cases she entrusted several times, they all handled them well and were very fair.

Ordinary people don't like to get close to the government, but because Qin Xiang is a modern person, he naturally has a good impression of the government. What's more, she sends people to the government every month to send a lot of money.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and Qin Xiang still knows how to maintain the balance between them. After all, this is not a socialist China.

Every time she arrives, she misses the equality of Huaxia. Although there is no absolute fairness in this world, compared to the 'oppression' of the people by other countries outside of China, she is still happy because she is born as a descendant of Yan and Huang.

The topic is far away, and she has recently added a new problem with crankiness.

Because Qin Ji is a large local taxpayer, the monthly offerings to the yamen are also sent early, and he is a first-class and easy family to get along with in the yamen.

“…… That's the way it is. Qin Xiang's face was sad, she sighed and said: "It's not easy for me to run these things as a woman, and I don't know who is red-eyed, and I want to make this kind of harmful business." If there is a case, it is small to lose money and miss work, which can cause disability. ”

When the official heard this, he felt that it was a little serious, and he hurriedly agreed: "We will definitely investigate with all our hearts and give Boss Qin justice." ”

After the people from the official mansion left, Qin Xiang's complexion was slightly tidy, and he returned home with Xiaoyu first.

Chen Wuliu and others were well-informed, and they also heard about the incident and volunteered to inquire.

"The investigation of the case by the government will definitely alarm the other party, you must be careful. I think the other party is here for these looms, especially the jacquard machine, and there is a high probability that the other party is also in the cloth business. If you follow this direction, you may be able to gain something. ”

Qinxiang's cloth factory is a new addition recently, and the scale is not large. Simply set up a few other rooms in the courtyard of the garment factory, set up looms, and find workers.

The speed of hand-weaving is not fast, and it cannot catch up with the large-scale mechanized production of later generations. Therefore, Qin Xiang's cloth factory produces expensive silk fabrics, which are intended to be sold to more high-end customers.

The market is a big cake, she can't eat it alone, and she doesn't want to occupy the whole market. But some people want to use this kind of subordinate means to harm others and themselves.

Since the other party destroyed her loom, he had planted human hands among the workers. Therefore, Qin Xiang also wanted to investigate who was the ghost under the pretext of letting the old craftsman repair the machine.

The inner ghost must be found out, otherwise it will bring more danger to disgusting people.

Qin Xiang doesn't care what this person has inside, betrayal is betrayal.

For the sake of profit, this person broke the loom, which is very likely to bring huge losses. And these workers who use looms may also be disabled and killed due to the damage of the machine, which leads to operation errors.

Qin Xiang sighed a little now, fortunately, her looms were all supported by wooden components, and their power was not as great as that of the steel machines of later generations. Otherwise, it would be too scary to have your hands and feet cut off.

"The owner." Xiaoyu looked worried, "You've been sitting for an hour and haven't spoken." ”

Qin Xiang suddenly realized that she was thinking too engrossed just now, and she didn't notice anything else at all.

"It's okay, I just get carried away. You go and get the drawings, I still have a few parts to finish. ”

Xiaoyu nodded, walked halfway and came back, "Does it really matter if the owner is there?" ”

Qin Xiang shook his head and said funny: "I've even been to Gancheng, I've seen the battlefield, I'm not afraid of the dead, can this little trick still scare me." You girl, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about your own studies. Don't look back and complain, saying that you taught an elm pimple. ”

Angry, Xiaoyu stomped her feet and blushed, like an angry calf.

It made Qin Xiang laugh, and the previous depression was swept away.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you are really my pistachio."

Xiaoyu, who is a pistachio, was not happy, and even wanted to cry a little, "Boss, why do you bully people." ”

Qin Xiang smiled like a strange aunt, and quickly pinched Xiaoyu's little face before she could react, "Of course, it's because our Xiaoyu is cute." ”

After saying that, she hurriedly ran away, for fear that Xiaoyu would catch up again. This girl followed Chen Wuliu and them to learn boxing in Gancheng, but she practiced her strength, but she was very afraid that Xiaoyu would lift people up if she didn't agree.
