The loom can not get rid of the traditional style, but the silk reeling is different, the reeling of the Song Dynasty is still in the manual stage, if there is a machine for silk reeling, the improvement is not simply a matter of labor productivity.

Looking at the diagram again, a large number of gears and the main structure of the machine are all made of metal, and the parts of each part are also explained and annotated next to them.

Su Cai'er Bingxue is smart, as soon as she saw the large number of metal parts drawn in Xiao Ming's drawing, she understood what Xiao Ming meant, and her impression of Xiao Ming in her heart improved not only a little bit, but also surprise and speculation.

What is the origin of this young man, and why does he have such a clever trick in his head? Father said that Xiao Ming designed a very delicate bow and crossbow, the picture is extraordinary, and with this he also received a huge order from the government, Gu's refining workshop has developed into a famous big merchant in a short period of time by relying on this person, all kinds of circumstances show that this person in front of him should not be underestimated, both mysterious and powerful.

Su Cai'er lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was pondering things, but Na Jie Zhicong said: "May I ask Mr. Xiao, how can such a machine be driven by manpower?" ”

Xiao Ming smiled slightly: "It can be driven by hydropower." ”

"How do you hydraulic?" Jie Zhicong continued to ask.

"The power of water pressure," Xiao Ming replied.

The method of hydraulics belongs to basic physics, which was widely used in the Song Dynasty, and Jie Zhicong seemed to have found the answer, so he also bowed his head and pondered.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "I heard that Tianzhu and other places in the West are rich in a cotton crop, the silk wool produced is excellent, can be spun to make thread, there are also drawings of tools and machinery here, if Richanglong can be introduced, you can find a wide range of raw materials for machine spinning, ordinary people can also buy cheap and high-quality cloth."

Cotton was introduced to China in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Xiao Ming also saw from the information that before that, ordinary people could only wear linen, and silk silk and other fabrics could only be worn by wealthy royal families.

But Su Caier and Jie Zhicong know that nowadays there is an imported "Tianzhu cloth" with dense texture, strong and durable, and the warmth and breathability are stronger than linen, obviously what Xiao Ming said is not bad.

Su Cai'er Yu Jiezhicong's face became more and more solemn, Jie Zhicong looked at Xiao Ming, then looked at Su Cai'er, and found that Su Cai'er was a little stunned, so he called softly: "The big shopkeeper ......!" ”

Su Cai'er came back to her senses and smiled embarrassedly at Xiao Ming: "Sir's proposal is very good, and I know what you want to cooperate with our Richanglong, but this is a big matter, can we discuss it?" ”

"Of course, I don't know when I will be able to reply" Xiao Ming arched his hand, although he knew that this was not polite, but Xiao Ming had to be anxious, this was an important part of his plan.

"Up to three days"

"Okay, then we'll make up our minds, Xiao will say goodbye!"

"Wait" Su Cai'er suddenly shouted, Xiao Ming looked back in amazement, and looked at her in confusion.

Su Cai'er smiled faintly: "The slave family has a question, I want to ask Mr., I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Xiao Ming bowed down and said, "Big shopkeeper, excuse me." ”

Su Cai'er said: "Mr. don't have to be so polite, you and the slave family have a life-saving grace, and you will ...... in the future Just call the slave family...... Cai'er is fine. ”

Jie Zhicong looked at her in surprise, and said in his heart, what's wrong with the big shopkeeper today? On weekdays, he is extremely majestic, decisive in killing, and does not drag the mud and water, but today is an abnormal situation, he speaks in a slurred manner, and even the name of the eldest lady is said to make people scream! Could it be that the hearts of mortals have been moved?

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "How can Miss's maiden name be called nonsense, the rules in front of outsiders still can't be changed, it's better to be called the big shopkeeper." ”

Jie Zhicong secretly laughed, "In front of outsiders? You and the eldest lady are now insiders, right? This kid really knows how to climb the pole."

Su Cai'er pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't say anything, and opened her mouth to ask.

"Have you heard, sir: The House of Microink?"

Xiao Ming shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."

Su Cai'er saw that Xiao Ming's face showed a blank look, not as if she was faking, so she let out a light sigh in her mouth, but asked again.

"Sir, a man from the Hammer Camp?"

Xiao Ming shook his head, "No, I haven't heard of it, I know what Miss means, but it's not the time yet, so please forgive me for not being able to tell the truth." ”

Su Cai'er nodded, "Mr. and I have a kindness, and this time there is a gift to give, but Richanglong can't repay it, please accept a gift from me?" ”

Xiao Ming just wanted to resign, but after thinking about it, if he wanted to have a close relationship with Richanglong, he couldn't behave very well, so he thanked him, "Thank you to the big shopkeeper, but Xiao is disrespectful"

……

Xiao Ming was a little dumbfounded when he saw the gift, the gift Su Caier gave him turned out to be that special carriage, and there were also four martial artists in the courtyard, and there was no need for Xiao Ming to pay money, the salary was taken care of by Ri Changlong, just to protect Xiao Ming's safety, Xiao Ming was very moved in his heart.

Looking at Xiao Ming's departing figure, Su Cai'er's eyes showed a confused look, a face full of pity and concern, and she reached out to brush her hair...... This image slowly coincides with Xiao Ming's back......

Xiao Ming took the car back to the Gu family's refining workshop, and before he entered the door, he got the news that Gu Shouzhen was injured! Xiao Ming hurriedly rushed to visit, only to see Gu Shouzhen leaning on the bed, with bandages wrapped around her shoulders and back.

Seeing Xiao Ming coming in, Gu Shouzhen smiled and said: "Brother, I am known as the golden shoulder and iron back, and I have all my kung fu on my back, this time my face is embarrassing, haha"

Xiao Ming saw that his expression was normal, and it might just be a foreign injury, so he asked what happened.

It turned out that Gu Shouzhen went to the Xicheng factory to check, and on the way back, he was suddenly hit by a fallen tree, resulting in injury.

Who did it to Gu? Although the Gu family is developing rapidly, it is inevitable that some people will be offended, but no one wants to kill the Gu family? And the other party's goal is very clear, and the timing is good, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an ordinary gangster.

Xiao Ming and Gu Shouzhen were both analyzing, thinking of the recent Demon Sect assassination incident, the two felt that the murderer basically could not be ruled out as a Demon Sect person, but why would they attack a merchant like Gu's?

Xiao Ming analyzed: "What does the Gu Clan's Refinery do? That was to create weapons for the government's army, and to attack the Gu clan was to indirectly attack the official army, so this reason is very good. ”

Gu Shouzhen said: "Then what should I do?" ”

"It's okay, we now have four martial artists sent by Richanglong, let them protect your safety in the future, and we have to make some preparations ourselves."

Xiao Ming secretly thanked Su Cai'er, he only now knew why people sent four martial artists to him, it seems that Ri Changlong not only has his own intelligence system, but also has a large sphere of influence.

Due to the limited military strength of the Hangzhou government, the prefect has allowed the private wealthy to form a village warrior, as long as the government is not responsible for the salary, the more township warriors can be raised, the better, of course, this requires you to have money.

Now the stalls of the refinery are getting bigger and bigger, and from the perspective of anti-theft, they also need their own guards, so Xiao Ming has always wanted to use the origin of the government to develop private soldiers.

This time, under the pretext of Gu Shouzhen's injury, Xiao Ming began to recruit Xiang Yong, first from the team of craftsmen, to find the strong, agile man, organize together, practice martial arts together in his spare time, and also find some craftsmen's families to inspect the factory, and the refinery provides salaries, everyone is now working in the refinery, the salary is high, the welfare is good, the boss is kind, and he is responsible for medical treatment when he is sick, and the family members and children are also sent to study, all of which are paid by the refinery, and now the factory is like their own home, It is a matter of course to protect your home, not to mention that there is money to take, no one has an opinion, and the people who signed up were very enthusiastic, and even many elderly people and children in the family came to sign up.

The recruits were all issued with brand-new black winter coats, rattan cards and sticks, and specially inspected the factory and the periphery at night, watching the hot work scene in the factory, because not long ago, the refinery received another big business, building a thousand sets of iron armor and a number of knives and guns for the officers and soldiers of Jiangning Prefecture.

Xiao Ming has put his mind on the carriage given to him by the eldest lady of the Su family in the past two days, because of the problem that has been bothering him, he wants to understand, that is, how the carriage absorbs shocks.

When the box under the axle was removed, Xiao Ming finally realized that the box turned out to be a very complex suspension system, a lot of wooden gears and balance parts, the carriage vibrated during driving, and transmitted to the head of the carriage through several eccentric gears and ornaments in the box, which can have a good shock absorption effect.

This kind of thing is too ingenious, the ingenuity of the Chinese is simply vividly reflected, making Xiao Ming sigh, Ri Changlong got this thing from nowhere, Xiao Ming really wants to know who designed this thing, if this person helps, he and Ding Jianpeng's laboratory, maybe it can really be built.

The next day, I received a reply from Ri Changlong, the big shopkeeper was invited, and Xiao Ming was invited to go to the villa of Su's manor on the morning of the third day, and there were important matters to discuss, but the invitation was not signed by the big shopkeeper, but Su Shouchen, and Gu Shouzhen was not among the invited.

Thinking that Gu Shouzhen's injury had not healed, Xiao Ming asked him to recuperate at home, and he still went to the Su family alone, and the four martial artists did not accompany him, and even the person who drove the car, Xiao Ming did not bring it, but drove it himself, he wanted to try the handling of the carriage, but he came back as soon as he went out, because it was too difficult to drive the carriage, the so-called specialization in the art industry is this truth, interlacing is like a mountain, a good handlebar style is not good without a few years of experience at all, this time Xiao Ming is convinced.

When entering Su's villa, the old housekeeper Su Fu welcomed Xiao Ming in, and then came to accompany the guests turned out to be Jie Zhicong, through small talk, Xiao Ming also knew that Jie Zhicong was the second shopkeeper of Richanglong, and he was in charge of the mulberry hemp weaving business south of Liangzhejiang Road.

After a while, Su Bi and Su Shouchen came out with his daughter, and there was another person behind him, this person was dressed in a green shirt, three long beards, plain clothes, and showed craftsmanship in his gestures, Xiao Ming guessed that this person might be the chief craftsman of Richang Garden.

After Su Bi and his daughter came in, they first greeted and thanked them politely, and then asked Xiao Ming about the business situation of the refining workshop, Xiao Ming was a little breathless, but it was not good to take the initiative to ask about cooperation, in order to cooperate with Richanglong this time, Xiao Ming made a detailed plan, and if he wrote it with a brush, he might need a few thick books, but Xiao Ming didn't have the leisure to practice calligraphy, but he just typed the manuscript several times in his stomach.

Both the guest and the host were very polite, but they didn't talk about any substantive topics, Su Caier didn't talk much, just sat on the side, it stands to reason that if it is a business negotiation, it should be the big shopkeeper who talks about it personally, but today she doesn't seem to mean it at all.

The green-shirted guest who came out with him was like a soy sauce maker like Jie Zhicong, and he didn't say a word, just quietly observing Xiao Ming on the side.

Xiao Ming gradually became a little angry, and said in his heart, what is this for? It's not a blind date, it's not a fortune teller, what does it mean to keep staring at people? Do people feel sluggish? The two big eyes have been staring at me, can you still tell if the flowers are coming?

"Are these people tempting me? I gave them the machine drawings, it took a lot of thought, I don't believe that the other party doesn't pay attention to it, let's see who can't hold their breath in the end."

After talking about the current situation for a while, Su Bi suddenly asked, "I don't know what Mr. Xiao thinks of this Demon Sect rebellion?" ”

Xiao Ming briefly talked about his own experience, because some of them were experienced with An Daoquan, so there is no need to hide it, "There is nothing to say about the teachings of Mingjiao, the vegetable eating demon is just a misunderstanding of the world, but these people act sneakily and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, they are really not good people."

Su Bi nodded secretly, and glanced at the green-shirted guest, "Mr. Xiao, please come with the old man, I invite you to see something." ”

Xiao Ming said secretly: "Here, it's finally time to get to the point, finally you haven't calmed down......"
