Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

Since His Majesty handed over the textile factory to Sun Jiumei, this girl who has not yet married became the first female official of the Song Dynasty. In order to repay His Majesty's kindness, she devoted herself to the factory.

Sun Jiumei has five hundred craftsmen and a dozen cooks, all of whom are under her charge. In order to carry out her work better, Sun Jiumei brought her parents to Bianliang, and asked her mother to manage the cooking and her father to manage the production of textile machines as an assistant.

From morning to night, Sun Jiumei hardly stopped, because she had to make dozens of textile machines at the same time, she had to close it well, and she also gave instructions to these carpenters on how to make them. Finally, the finished textile machine must be inspected to see if the quality has passed the test.

When she was busy and not idle, although Sun Jiumei was a female class, her diligent and carpenters all saw her. Originally, these people were still a little uncomfortable. What is it like being managed by their daughter? But gradually, they calmed down. She asked the craftsman what to do with a little bit of a problem.

On this day, a large number of officers and soldiers with swords suddenly entered the door, and a shrill voice shouted, "The emperor is here!

The emperor is here!

Everyone panicked and lined up quickly, Sun Jiumei was naturally at the front, "Congratulations to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live!""

Zhao Ji walked in slowly, "Be flat!"

"Hehe, how is Director Sun feeling these days?" Zhao Ji and Yan Yue~se said to Sun Jiumei.

Sun Jiumei asked by His Majesty De Meng, and immediately said respectfully, "Weichen is very happy, watching the textile machines take shape every day, they are like Weichen's children, thank you Your Majesty for giving Weichen such an errand!

"Haha, work hard, I want to see - your results!

"Yes, Your Majesty is going this way, it's just a little messier...

Zhao Ji came suddenly, and Sun Jiumei didn't have time to clean up.

"It's okay, I just happened to take a look at your working environment!"

Zhao Ji looked at it as he walked.

It is really messy here, there are wood blocks everywhere, saws, planes and other things everywhere, and there is a fragrance of trees in the air. They all used solid wood. Zhao Ji saw rows of spinning wheels in the warehouse of the factory building. He pressed it hard, and it was very strong.

"Your Majesty, so far, we have produced one hundred and thirty-two spinning wheels, and there are dozens more to be completed... At the beginning of the production, those products had many problems, we are slowly exploring, these are the final debugging. passed, product without any problems, 55

Speaking of the spinning wheel, Sun Jiumei talked freely, she was very familiar with it, and she also demonstrated how to spin yarn in person.

These spinning wheels are all water-turning spinning wheels, that is, spinning wheels driven by water, which are specially used for long fibers and are mainly used for processing hemp and silk. The hemp spinning wheel is larger, with a total length of about 9 meters and a height of about 2.7 meters. It is different from the human-powered spinning wheel. It is equipped with 32 spindles. The structure is relatively complex and huge. The 32 spindles are driven by two leather ropes.

Of course, when the demonstration is now carried out by several people, the effect is not bad.

Zhao Ji nodded with a satisfied look on his face. Now that the steam engine has not been made, we can only use the hydro-spinning machine for the time being. And there have been so many large spinning wheels, so of course productivity must be formed as soon as possible.

Encouraged Sun Jiumei and these craftsmen, Zhao Ji asked people to give some silver taels, and these people were going crazy when they were happy. Since then, Sun Jiumei's prestige has been even higher. She is someone praised by His Majesty. Who dares to stab her?

The next day the spinning wheels were pulled away.

Zhao Ji had ordered a spinning mill to be built, just by the Bian River, and left half of the spinning wheel as the official's own use. There is still half of the spinning wheel, which Zhao Ji intends to sell. It is like the state-run and the private sector. There is competition, there will be vitality. Without competition, there will only be a pool of stagnant water.

The first spinning mill was started, and Zhao Ji participated in person.

I saw dozens of tall spinning wheels on the river bank. Following Zhao Ji's order, people put the windmills into the water, and then drove the spinning wheels to turn. Around the spinning wheels, the women who had been prepared for a long time began to work hard. Because they were driven by water conservancy, they did not need people's efforts, as long as they looked at the spindles.

I saw countless rows of spindles spinning madly, each thread entwined, and the sound of clanging and clanging was incessant...

"Yeah, so fast..."

"Such a textile machine can be worth dozens of people?

"Dozens of people? Who can stop without stopping, but this machine can. As long as the river doesn't stop, it can keep running...'

"It seems that spinning will depend on this loom in the future!"

Standing in front are Zhao Ji and many ministers in the court and middle, and behind are some wealthy countrymen and businessmen. Zhao Ji wants to make a big splash and let everyone realize the convenience and effectiveness of this water-powered textile machine, and it seems to be working well now.

.0......

The ministers also praised it.

Of course, there are also people who see the shortcomings of this machine.

"Hydraulic drive is really good, but it must be built by the river, and when the river is full, if there is no water in the dry season, it will not work..."

"And it seems that this kind of thing can't be bought by ordinary people..."

Zhao Ji naturally understands these shortcomings, but the flaws do not hide the beauty.

Zhao Ji saw that the goal was achieved, so he left the stage, and the following things were handed over to the people in the Ministry of Industry.

"Everyone, there are 50 textile machines of this type here, each one costs 1,000 taels of silver, and each person is limited to five, so hurry up if you want to buy them!" The Minister of Industry said loudly on the high platform.

I didn't expect that the imperial court would sell such a water-powered textile machine. One thousand taels of silver is nothing, and it will soon be able to return to its original value. So many people started to sign up, and they all saw the great prospects of this hydrotextile machine.

Fifty looms were quickly sold out, and there were many who were not given the opportunity at all, but were just downcast.

The promotion of the hydraulic spinning machine will inevitably make some people unemployed, and many hand-woven people will lose their competitiveness. However, there is no way to do this, and those who cannot adapt to the times will inevitably be eliminated.

Zhao Ji had long anticipated this kind of thing. Of course, it would take a process. All he had to do was to organize those who lost their jobs and set up a new factory. Anyway, the unemployed will not starve to death... Next.
