There were also many things left in the barracks, Gongsun Lian explained a few times, and then left with Niu Dazhuang and returned to the Dongshan barracks.

Standing on the high east mountain, looking from afar, Gongsun Lian found that the bottom of the mountain was a little different.

Gongsun Lian got closer and closer, and found that many houses had been built on that barren land, and many people continued to be busy.

"Who built a house on Mrs. Li's territory?" Gongsun Lian pointed into the distance, his brows furrowed slightly.

The title deed he gave to Li Xiaoyue included this land.

Niu Dazhuang smiled and teased quite proudly, "Military advisor, you said that it is Aunt Li's land, and the house is built on it, of course it is Aunt Li's home!" ”

"It's not just a house, it's a workshop. The wool thread was made out by Aunt Li. An ordinary spinning machine can only spin one strand of thread. Strategist, guess what, how many spinning machines can Aunt Li spin? ”

At this time, Niu Dazhuang sold Guanzi.

"Three?" Gongsun Lian thought about it and felt that it would be at least twice as big as it would be shocking.

Niu Dazhuang shook his head, his eyes were excited, like a child who loves to show off, "Less!" Guess again! ”

"Five?"

"It's still less! Guess again! ”

"Ten?" Gongsun Lian's voice rose sharply, if it can be improved by nine times, this spinning machine will definitely make a lot of money if it is transported to Jiangnan.

"It's still less! ...... again" Niu Dazhuang still wanted to show off, but was knocked on the head by Gongsun Lian's folding fan.

"Tell me, let me guess again, knock your dog's head." Gongsun Lian couldn't wait to know the result, and didn't want to guess and let Niu Dazhuang see the joke.

Niu Dazhuang raised two fingers, "Military Division, it's twenty, a full twenty." Although the spinning wheel is larger, it is nineteen times more efficient. ”

When Gongsun Lian heard this, his pupils shrank, and he was shocked, and he turned directly to the bottom of the mountain, wanting to go to Li Xiaoyue to see the new spinning machine.

"Strategist, aren't we going back to the barracks?" Niu Dazhuang saw that the military advisor was gone, and hurriedly asked after him.

Gongsun Lian didn't look back, and quickened his pace, "The military camp is over there, and I won't run, and I won't delay if I go back later." ”

Seeing that the military division was much faster than in the past, Niu Dazhuang followed closely, and Aunt Li of Lihua Village was too smart, every time she made something, she could make the military division who had always been as stable as Mount Tai break the defense.

When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Gongsun Lian passed by the place where the house was built, which should be Li Xiaoyue's workshop.

When Li Laohan saw Gongsun Lian coming, he smiled kindly, like an old fox who kidnapped chickens, "Gongsun, you must want to see the new spinning wheel." ”

Gongsun Lian bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "Uncle Li, I heard that the speed of the spinning wheel has increased by nineteen times, and I am very curious, so I will take a look." ”

"Satsuki is teaching the girl red spinning, in the four northernmost rooms." Li Laohan personally showed Gongsun Lian the way, not like before, like a wolf.

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Gongsun Lian thanked him and walked quickly to the house where the thread was spinning.

Li Xiaoyue patiently trained the newly recruited female workers, explained the details, and found a way to solve problems if they occurred.

Gongsun Lian didn't speak, he watched seriously and silently, and those female workers gradually became skilled from rusty under the guidance of Li Xiaoyue, and they also saw that the thickness of twenty threads was evenly wound on the spool.

Although he had just heard the result from Niu Dazhuang, after seeing it with his own eyes, Gongsun Lian was even more shocked.

What kind of brain could come up with such a spinning wheel?

Not only is it big, but it's also complex, and the key efficiency is extremely high, and one person can do the work that twenty people did before!

Gongsun Lian walked in and took out the spool full of woolen thread from the basket, "Xiaoyue, can these woolen threads be used to make clothes?" ”

When Li Xiaoyue heard the voice, she knew that Gongsun Lian was coming, and nodded, "Yes!" It can be knitted into a sweater or into a cloth that is then cut to make clothes. ”

"However, if it is made into cloth, I think adding some softened fine twine to the wool can increase the toughness and make it stronger, which is suitable for the people here to use."

Gongsun Lian held these good-looking wool yarns in his hands, and his face was surprised, "Xiaoyue, aren't you going to sell such good-looking wool to the capital or other more prosperous places to make money?" ”

Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and chuckled, "It's important to make money, but I want the soldiers at the border pass to wear warm clothes, so that they can devote themselves to the battle in a better state." ”

"I also hope that the people at the border can dress warmly, so that more elderly people and children can survive the cold winter. When there is spare energy, the wool will be sold to the capital and other prosperous cities. ”

"Although this will make less money, we have a lot of wool here, everything has to be carried out here, we control the source, and we don't have to worry about the business being robbed."

Gongsun Lian stroked his beautiful hair, his eyes shining, "Xiaoyue, you're right!" ”

At the same time, Gongsun Lian admired Li Xiaoyue's local feelings even more in her heart, she loved this land and cared about the people in this land.

But soon, Li Xiaoyue thought of another question, "Mr. Gongsun, is there still a shortage of military salaries?" ”

Gongsun Lian was stunned for a moment, his face was bitter, "The military salary has always been short, but the major general and I will not accept your donation, after all, your family's honeycomb coal can't earn much in a month." ”

"Now it's buying wool and building a workshop, which costs a lot. Major General and I will find a way, believe us, we will definitely be able to hold Zhenxi Pass. ”

Li Xiaoyue smiled lightly, "Believe!" ”

With gunpowder, and by surprise, if she can't repel the invasion of the Treaty State, it can only be said that she deserves to die.

"I asked you to tell you. This spinning wheel can also be used to spin silk, the land of the south of the Yangtze River, and the agriculture is more. I can give you the drawings of this spinning wheel. ”

"No, it's too expensive." Gongsun Lian shook his head and refused, "If you want to sell, I can have someone sell it for you, I won't take your money." ”

Li Xiaoyue waved her hand and patiently explained, "Even if this thing is not sold, it will spread sooner or later." Rather than others learn to take it out and sell it, let's sell it. and the money they received bought more rice and wheat. ”

"When the time comes, even if the war is chaotic, at least the soldiers and ordinary people on our side will have food to eat and not starve, so that they can have the strength to fight. Mr. Gongsun, this silver is not for you, but for the border soldiers and ordinary people. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Lian couldn't say anything to refuse, his eyes flashed slightly, and there was inexplicable emotion in the depths of his eyes.

Li Xiaoyue is righteous!

"Tens of thousands of taels of silver, and even more silver. Are you really willing to do it? Gongsun Lian asked again.

Li Xiaoyue's tone was sincere, "If you are willing to give it, you will get it if you give it." As long as the Treaty State can be defeated, the border can have peace for ten years or even longer, and when the time comes, it will be a good time to make money. ”

Gongsun Lian bowed down to Li Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, Lian for the tens of thousands of soldiers at the border and countless villagers thank you." ”

"I accept your gratitude." Li Xiaoyue said with a smile, "When I do business next year, I hope Mr. Gongsun will provide more convenience." ”

"Good!" Gongsun Lian readily agreed, and in addition, he had good news to share with Li Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, come out, I have something to tell you." ”

Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, she smiled happily, thinking of the improvement of gunpowder and the manufacture of mines, there might be results, "Okay, I'll come now." ”

Watching Li Xiaoyue go out with Gongsun Lian, Sister-in-law Liu, who was spinning thread, asked with a smile: "Second sister-in-law Li, Mr. Jun's eyes were shining when he looked at Xiaoyue just now, is it that a good thing for your Xiaoyue is about to happen?" ”
