The textile industry, to be precise, the cotton textile industry, was the beginning of the transformation from an agrarian country to an industrial country.

The cotton textile industry requires a large number of industrial workers (both men and women), as well as the innovation of processing machinery and the coordination of each process.

In the entire industrial chain, it is necessary to realize the supporting mode of raw materials, production and sales, and also to continuously cultivate cotton varieties and expand the planting area.

Rao is still unable to start the modern industry of capitalism.

Otherwise, why didn't the Ming Dynasty, which had a large export volume, not materialize?

Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty, which was already in the late stage, together with France and Germany in the West, was not the birthplace of the first industrial revolution.

The first industrial revolution took place in the "island nation of Ppur".

There are two reasons for this, one is "survival" and the second is "market".

The urgent need to survive led to the industrial development of England.

Great victories in centuries-old naval battles provided England with a huge market.

Specifically in Liaodong.

Because at that time, Jinzhou was facing the dual pressure of the Later Jin and Ming courts, as well as the chaos of the feudal order and the narrowness of the land, prompting women to leave the land and enter the textile factory.

The huge benefits brought by the textile mill continue to open branches.

In order to become proficient in the factory's machinery, the enrollment rate of girls' schools near the textile mill is much higher than in other areas.

Today, the problem of survival has been solved, but factories in the form of modern organizations have become widespread.

He led the fleet and merchant ships to sea, that is, to open up the market.

Yang Chengying has a plan.

First of all, an all-steam machinery textile factory was opened in Shenyang, and this textile factory only sold cloth to the outside world.

After fully mastering the steam loom, the machine will gradually spread to other textile mills, and then it will be released and allowed to be sold in the country.

If the domestic market is blindly opened, not to mention small textile workshops, even government-run textile factories will go bankrupt because they can't stand dumping.

You can't get yourself into the IcU.

Sujiatun, which Kong Youxing selected, is the site of the new textile factory.

"The merchants taught you, and I'll go to the new textile factory to have a look."

After Yang Chengying finished explaining, he left the palace with the guards and went straight to Sujiatun.

It is adjacent to the steel factory, and there are also gunsmiths, machine factories, ordnance bureaus, etc., which facilitate the maintenance of machinery.

"King!"

Seeing Yang Chengying coming on horseback, Xie Simei, the director of the textile factory, stepped forward to greet him.

Under her leadership, the female workers who participated in the greeting were all in good spirits.

Yang Chengying got off the horse and said with a smile: "General Xie, it's a bit condescending to let you, the general of the female battalion, serve as the director of the new factory." ”

"No matter how big or small the official position is, it is to contribute to the people."

Xie Simei said very consciously: "What's more, it is the honor of the last general to be loyal to the king." ”

"With your words, I'm very relieved."

Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Wang Fuchen and Cao Bianjiao, "The two generals you trained have made a great contribution on the road of this expedition. ”

Xie Simei laughed, walked up to them, and asked, "Are you two shooting accurately?" Wouldn't it still be lantern marksmanship? ”

There's a story in that.

Xie Simei trained them to shoot and let them aim at the target.

As a result, it hit the lantern to the right of the target.

Wang Fuchen's face flushed: "Shibei should be impressed by each other for three days, we are very powerful now." On that expedition to Chita, I rode on my horse and killed a Sauron clan chief with one shot. ”

"Me too, I also killed an archer." Cao Bianjiao was not convinced.

Fourth Sister Xie laughed: "Don't show off." If I hadn't reached the age of retirement, I wouldn't have given you a chance at all. ”

The two young men were speechless.

Yang Chengying smiled slightly and came out to play a round: "Let's go, take me to see the factory." ”

"Yes."

Xie Simei let them go, led the way in front, and led Yang Chengying into the factory to inspect.

Cao Bianjiao and the other guards did not follow, only Zu Zepei followed alone.

After all, it is a women's textile factory, and there are too many men, so it is easy to be said to be "immoral".

The new plant adopts all-steam machinery, including steam wooden stick ginning, spinning, and looms.

Covering an area of 300 acres, it is not fully mechanical production because the manufacturing speed is not fast enough.

For the time being, it is still mainly based on water power or manpower.

However, Yang Chengying walked and felt that something was wrong.

"Why is the number of steam engines so small, doesn't it mean that after the new plant is built, all the new machinery will be shipped to the new factory?"

Yang Chengying turned his head and asked Fourth Sister Xie.

"Back to the king, the last general doesn't know why, only a few units came after the establishment of the new factory, and I never saw it again."

Xie Simei replied helplessly.

Compared with Xie Simei's emotional stability, a female worker behind her had a lot to say.

But the female worker was stopped by Xie Simei and gave a warning look.

"I see." Yang Chengying's eyes lit up, "I have something, I'll come to inspect next time." ”

"Congratulations to the king."

Xie Simei clenched her fists and watched Yang Chengying leave.

Waiting for Yang Chengying to walk away, the female worker said: "Factory director, why don't you let me say it." ”

"Say what? The king's heart is like a mirror, and he already understands everything. ”

Xie Simei said: "We don't need to talk too much, we offend people in vain." ”

Shenyang, Wangfu.

Kong Youxing walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard outside the study.

He was a little nervous.

As soon as the king returned, he summoned him, and the situation was not good.

The trouble is that Kong Youxing knows exactly why the king is angry.

Li Dingguo stopped him.

Kong opened his arms with sexual interest and was examined.

Li Dingguo took a magnet and swept it around Li Dingguo's body.

"Little brother, how is the king's face?" Kong Youxing asked in a whisper.

"The face is not very good." Li Dingguo replied in a low voice, "General Kong, I can only wish you a lot of blessings. ”

Kong Youxing was so frightened that he coughed lightly, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Is Kong Yousex coming?"

Yang Chengying's majestic voice came from the house.

There was a hint of anger in his voice.

Kong Youxing's body trembled, and he hurriedly replied: "The minister is." ”

"Come in, I have something to say to you."

"Oh."

Kong Youxing smiled bitterly and glanced at Li Dingguo.

Seeing Li Dingguo nodding, he entered the house.

Inside the room, Yang Chengying sat behind the table with a cold face.

Kong Youxing swallowed his saliva and stepped forward to clench his fists: "The king, the minister Kong has sex ......"

"Hole has sex!" Yang Chengying interrupted directly, "What is the order I gave you?" ”

"Give the steam spinning machine and the textile machine to the new factory."

Kong stammered in reply.

"Did you do it?"

"Minister...... Didn't do it. ”

"Why?"

"The king, the ministers also have difficulties. There are as many as five state-run textile factories in the territory, all of which are clamoring for steam machinery. If the ministers don't give it, they will say what 'raised by the mother' and 'raised by the stepmother', saying that the weaving department is not doing things fairly. ”

"So, you're going to divide the steam machines equally?" Yang Chengying asked coldly.

Kong Youxing swallowed his saliva again and nodded with difficulty.
