On a rainy day, Mei Yi took Illya and the others to the textile factory to have a look. He was relieved that several goblin craftsmen involved in the steam engine project did not leave because of his cold relationship with Liumei.

The fairy craftsman Mouton said disdainfully: "The North Fairy Forest is not the fairy forest of ordinary people like me, but the fairy forest of those powerful and ladies, I have a clean and spacious residence here, a decent income, and no need to be bullied by the nobles, why do you leave?" Not only did I not leave, but I also took over my wife and children. ”

Another goblin craftsman, Mu Shan, said, "Those goblins who go must have bad brains. I have a hunch that Sombra will become the greatest city in the kingdom in the future, and it will not be inferior to the flower spirit and the true spirit. Your Excellency, you need not be discouraged. ”

Caroline was dumbfounded as she heard from behind, and she quietly asked Evelyn, "Are you people in Sombra usually talk to the lord so unruly?" ”

Evelyn spread her hands and said, "What kind of lord there is, there are what kind of lords. I still remember the first time the Grand Lord of Meiyi went to our Duke's Palace, when he was still a poor student, but he had a lot of backbone, refused to kneel to Lady Alicia in person, and unceremoniously ate the fruit on the table. Just ask you if you are convinced? ”

Caroline was dumbfounded, raised her hand and said, "I'm convinced." ”

Under the leadership of the fairy craftsmen, Ai Qilu and the others came to the roaring factory and saw a scene that they would never forget. It was the first time they and the first time that the world touched the pulse of modern human civilization, and the inherent concept of the world was instantly subverted.

Mouton led a few people through the roaring machine, and explained in detail all the processes from raw cotton to cloth, including cleaning, carding, strip rolling, combing, drawing, roving...... On the machine, weaving, etc. Most of these processes have stable machine power, and the production efficiency has been increased by hundreds of times.

Thanks to the ingenuity of the fairy craftsmen and the full support of the mansion psychics, there were no problems with the sturdiness of the boiler and the airtightness of the cylinders, which Meiyi was most worried about. After trial production, improvement, and debugging, the steam engine was soon manufactured and put into use.

Illya watched in disbelief as the white cloth spouted out like flowing water, curling into huge white cloth embryos, and sighed deeply at the thought of the backward handloom and poor weaver she had ever seen.

Caroline exclaimed, "What is this?" Did you make it? How did you come up with the idea? ”

Mouton shook his head and said, "Not exactly us. This is called the steam engine, and it is a design drawn by the Great Lord, and the main part is made by us, and there are also a large number of fire and water spirits in the mansion who participate. ”

After a few people walked out of the factory, Caroline quietly asked Mouton, "Lord Meiyi must be watching you very closely, right?" If this kind of thing were to flow out, it would be a huge loss for Sombra. ”

Mouton said, "No." There are indeed people who secretly copy a design and then run to other consular districts, intending to sell it for a high price. But none of the lords believed in the value of such things, and some of the lords thought they were liars, and beat them up and dared to go out. ”

Ai Qilu asked Mei Yi some technical questions, and Mei Yi said a little unhappily: "Elolo, this is not your business, don't forget your position in everything." What you have to do in the future is to provide these craftsmen with a relaxed environment and favorable conditions, and rely on them, not meddle in technical matters. ”

Ai Qilu nodded and said, "Teacher, I know." ”

A few people went to the printing and dyeing factory next door. Seeing the brightly colored and richly colored cloth printed and dyed, several girls were excited—what girl didn't love beauty? They were already imagining what these beautiful clothes made of cloth would look like on their bodies.

Mei Yi had learned a lot of color schemes in chemistry class in his previous life, and it was not difficult for him to improve the color matching process.

After that, it's time to go to the garment factory. In the design department here, they saw many art graduates from Hualing and Zhenling. Some of them are quietly copying paintings, some are immersed in design, and some are carefully communicating details with the costume maker.

Meiyi said: "Innovation can produce progress, and division of labor can produce efficiency." The design is dedicated to design, the board is dedicated to dressing up, and the production is dedicated to production, and no one has their own value. This is true for factories, and so is for the country. The nobility cannot govern the country well, and the kingdom needs a large number of technical talents. ”

"Well, teacher, I understand." Ai Qilu said.

As soon as those designers heard Meiyi's voice, they all came over happily. The fairy designer Yuehua complained: "Lord Lord, we wanted to worship you as a teacher and learn to paint with you, but you didn't agree, saying that we would no longer accept students. Why did you collect it again? ”

Elf designer Merry looked at the incomparably beautiful and heroic Ai Qilu, and teased: "Lord Lord, you are too partial, right?" Why can she follow you and accept your words and deeds? Is it just because it's pretty? ”

Mei Yi said depressedly: "I'm still biased? The paintings you have copied are all genuine originals that I have collected at great expense from all over the kingdom, and I have painted many of them myself for you. I've told you frankly that my paintings are very average, but you haven't seen the technique. You're all better than I can do now. ”

After chatting a few words, Yuehua took Meiyi and others into the exhibition hall.

As soon as Ai Qilu and the others walked in, they felt that they couldn't breathe. The various costumes on display inside are so beautiful that they can satisfy all the fantasies of girls for beautiful clothes.

Yuehua said, "Ladies and gentlemen, some of these costumes have been recreated by us based on paintings from various eras collected by the Great Lord, some are improvements to existing costumes, and many of them have been designed from scratch. ”

Illya wandered in it, and the girl's heart, which had been suppressed by the boring and rigid life of the temple for a long time, completely exploded.

She has always been very particular about dressing, Wannian white shirt with red skirt or black skirt, or black dress, a strong ascetic wind, and she herself is used to it. Now I can't help but want to change into these clothes and take a look.

Even Ai Qilu, who has lacked nothing since she was a child, wants to take these beautiful clothes home.

She said, "Teacher, it seems that all of them are women's clothes here?" ”

Mei Yi explained: "Women's money is easy to make, and it has been like this since ancient times. ”

"What are you going to do with these clothes?"

"Make money, Miss. After the New Year, it is just the time when the spring clothes are on the market, and Sombra City will go to the True Spirit and Flower Spirit to hold a fair. I hope to make a lot of money with this. The residents of the consular district earned wages, the factories made money, and the lord's mansion collected taxes. ”

Mei Yi saw that Illya was indulged in it and couldn't extricate herself, so she said, "Lord Mary, if you like it, you can ask Yuehua and them to help you measure the data, and then go back and send it to the mansion for you." ”

When Illya saw the price, her eyes widened, and then she was deflated, and said in her heart: This kind of thing is still too gorgeous for me, let's go and earn the money of the noble ladies of the True Spirit and the Flower Spirit.

She looked back and saw that Yuehua and Melly were measuring Evelyn, Agilu, and Caroline, and she felt a little envious and jealous. Evelyn said, "Mary, don't you choose a few, it's rare that the Lord of the Great Lord promised to pay for the female staff of the mansion as a New Year's gift." ”

"I want it! I'm going to! ”
