Chapter 159:

"Will you go for the imperial examination?" Zhao Lin asked while sorting out the books. He didn't do anything in Zhou Rong's hands before. Zhou Rongque told him afterwards that he was still coming, thinking about brotherhood, and was afraid. When the family scolded him, they hid from home and went to Zhou Rong's house to eat and drink.
Zhou Rong's family is different from other families. His family has suffered and knows the benefits of being early. There are children in the family who are willing to take their lives to change their careers, and they are also willing to follow them.
Zhou Rong was still reading the words. His eyes hurt when he looked at the words recently. He had to think carefully about how to change and simplify each word, so that the illiterate could feel simple. He took a deep breath: "No. "
Zhao Lin: "I really don't want to go? What a good opportunity? The first time the new dynasty went to the imperial examination, how much did it show up?"
"I don't want to be the No. 1 scholar, I don't want to have a second place or Jinshi."
"I heard that your majesty has added another one, choosing a concubine from the Jinshi, and the concubine can be like a Hanlin." Zhao Lin inquired clearly.
Zhou Rong waved his hand: "I'm busy. I'm already an official. How can I go to the imperial examination? You are in a white body.
Zhao Lin choked up: "What are you talking about? You compare it like this."
"Forget it, I won't tell you." Zhao Lin rolled his eyes and moved the booklet to the other side. "I will pass the exam by then. The officer is older than you, so don't be scornful."
Zhou Rong didn't even look at him: "Then the official congratulates Master Zhao in advance."
Zhao Lin couldn't say that he could only continue the dialogue before returning to the case.
Outside because of the imperial examination, Lin Yuan didn't care. He was looking at the pencils made by the craftsmen.
Pen craftsmen are still studying, but pencils are already doing well. Don't underestimate the wisdom of craftsmen in this era. They sometimes have enterprising spirit and pioneering spirit. As long as the above policies encourage them to forge ahead, they will be able to do so. Study hard.
There is also the improvement of paper, which people cannot afford now.
Especially rice paper.
Lin Yuan was also anxious for a group of technicians to improve.
The main reason is that there is no machine, and it depends entirely on labor. Labor is also included in the cost. Of course, the price cannot be lowered.
Lin Yuan looked at the pencil.
Stronger than modern ones, as thick as a finger of an adult man.
Lin Yuan asked: "Can it be more detailed?"
The craftsman was very frightened, and didn't dare to lift his head: "Just, as long as you spend a little more time...it will definitely be more detailed."
Lin Yuan smiled: "It's done well."
The craftsman breathed a sigh of relief.
Reward people will not be rewarded face to face, they will be rewarded after going down.
It was a pair of father and son who made the pencil, both of them are as careful as dust. They made the pencil after countless experiments.
When they returned to the workshop, the emperor's reward came down.
Four pieces of cloth, twelve pieces of gold, two jade rings and one piece of silk, and other gold and silver jewelry for female families.
These rewards were sent by the father-in-law and the young eunuch, and the eyes of the craftsmen were wide.
Although your Majesty said that there is a great reward for doing well, no one thought it would be such a heavy reward.
Twelve taels of gold... As long as you don't mess around, it will last a lifetime.
Let alone other things.
Other people look jealous and work harder at their own work. As long as they do well, they might be rewarded even more.
Don't you just make a small pen? They can do more amazing things!
Suddenly, competition among craftsmen rose.
But this kind of competition is benign, and Lin Yuan didn't specifically manage it.
In addition to pencils and paper, Jenny Jihe was also released by Lin Yuansu. He remembered the general drawings and rough operations, and the rest could only be improved by craftsmen.
Jenny's machine can only be regarded as a beginning, after all, Jenny's machine is still human.
Lin Yuan remembered that there was a hydro-spinning machine after the Jenny machine. Although it was hydraulic, it needed to build a factory based on water, and hundreds of workers were required to act together. It was not until the emergence of a steam engine that provided new power to get rid of the building based on water. Limitations of the factory.
The principle of steam is well understood by modern people. It is nothing more than the conversion of steam energy into mechanical reciprocating power.
Lin Yuan is impatient. He doesn't know if he can regenerate a steam engine, but if he has this idea, he will try. If he fails, he will lose some money and not a lot. If he succeeds, it will have a huge impact on the development of the entire society and industry. of.
And his biggest advantage is that he knows these principles and the general structure of the steam engine.
As long as a basic version is made, it can be revised and improved continuously.
The original steam engine manufacturing is not difficult.
Almost all the craftsmen in Beijing were gathered by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan is not worried about these basic industrial equipment.
The worry is electricity.
It is impossible to develop electricity without a basic industry.
The sources of electricity include thermal power, hydropower, wind power, nuclear power plants, solar power, and hydrogen power.
All these need the support of industrial foundation.
After thinking about it, Lin Yuan finally decided to take his time.
At least basic industrial equipment can be considered.
And he will be able to lay the foundation for industrial equipment in his lifetime.
The Jenny machine came out very quickly. The craftsmen used to make spinning wheels. They were all spinning fabrics. After drawing up the drawings, they could understand each other by analogy. In addition to the Jenny machine, there are also matching flying shuttles.
The flying shuttle can speed up the spinning, and the Jenny function can speed up the spinning, the efficiency is more than three times higher than that of the traditional textile industry.
But the Feisuo was still called Feisuo, but Jenny had to change her name. Lin Yuan took the simple and easy-to-understand name, which was called Spinning Machine.
These are not yet complete industries, but only handicrafts.
The motivation still comes from manpower.
Things are done, but how to let the people use them has become a problem.
In the end, Lin Yuan called Yang Shaowei and asked him to publish the drawings. They must be available everywhere, and they must be done, and they must be promoted.
Yang Shaowei has been idle for all these days, and he has become uncomfortable. With work, his whole person has become more energetic.
Although he did not marry a wife, he still has a confidant.
He didn't know how to spin and weave, so he took the drawings to ask his confidant.
The confidant learned that the spinning machine and the shuttle can more than triple the efficiency of weaving, and the whole person is stupid.
Weaving is hard work, and spinning is the same. How many people use up their eyes and can't see things clearly when it gets dark in middle age.
However, most of the female relatives of small families rely on textiles to supplement their families.
With such a thing, they don’t have to suffer as much as before.
The confidant shed tears: "I knew that your majesty loves his people earlier, but now the slave family understands it."
Yang Shaowei sent people to various places and distributed non-stop, carpenters everywhere would have work to do, the court would provide food and shelter, and pay monthly money.
Each village can be assigned one machine spinning machine, and the same goes for flying shuttles.
The drawings are also hung on the bulletin board, and people can explore it at will.
Gaoyou’s Lizi Village was the first village in Shili Baxiang.
The villagers in Lizi Village do not have the surname Li. The Lizi in their village has grown well in years, so that's why.
When the loom arrived, the entire village was dispatched. Men, women, and children gathered together and looked at the loom like a monster.
"so big……"
"Just don't know what to do."
"Do you do the same as ours?"
Fortunately, the court also sent people down to teach them how to use it.
There are many women in the village who can weave. After all, Gaoyou is richer than other places. The female relatives bought a spinning wheel at home and weave more cloth. Although I don’t know whether the current tax can be used to pay for the cloth, it doesn’t matter if they can weave. There is definitely something to earn.
"Hey! So much! So fast!"
"The spinning ones are also great! Why are there so many!"
The villagers in Lizi Village watched the excitement all day, and the women tried them all. They didn't want to stop at all when they moved their hands.
But this one is the only one in the village, so if you want to go to the city to make drawings and find a carpenter to make it yourself.
But the carpenters are all in the mansion now.
At this time, the merchant's ability is revealed.
They found that it was profitable, so they hurriedly expanded the drawings to make them, and rushed to work overnight. As soon as the court’s looms were released, the merchants began to sell them. They also asked the Chamber of Commerce. Now the Chamber of Commerce and the court are connected. It means that the Chamber of Commerce is also aware that they have not prohibited them from selling.
A loom costs two taels of silver.
For ordinary people, it is an unbearable weight in life.
But the people in Gaoyou can't stand the money.
Gaoyou produces salt. It not only produces salt, but also has developed commerce. Taizhou is affluent and Gaoyou is the richest place in all areas of Taizhou.
The merchants’ first shipments soon sold out.
The merchants were not able to find enough carpenters at home, so they began to make the idea of ​​a carpenter from another place. However, the carpenter from another place was also recruited by the local government, so the businessmen went to the carpenter's apprentice and son.
Carpenter suddenly became a sought after profession.
Many families are preparing to send their sons to learn carpenter's craftsmanship in the future, and maybe they can bring the whole family to make a fortune.
Now a carpenter who can be a loom can get two dollars a month, which is not the highest.
If you can be a master, you will have two in a month.
There are also businessmen who find someone to make a loom by themselves, then build a house, and then invite female workers to do the work.
Why not invite a man? Because looms do not have much difference between men and women, and female workers are cheaper than men, of course women are selected.
When the businessman who was still selling looms reacted, the businessman with the single surname had already taken the lead. He had a shop selling cloth at home and weaving by himself. There were many links that needed to be opened up in the middle, and he naturally earned the pot. Full.
The people are very adaptable. Although the world has only been stable for a few years, they are already full of vitality.
The poor are still poor, but there are very few cases of starving to death. Open up wasteland and cultivate land, potatoes and sweet potatoes fill the belly of the poor.
People’s goal has never been to starve to death to be able to live a better life.
The weaving factories were built one by one, but Lin Yuan didn't care about it.
The domestic market is bound to be saturated.
I just don’t know if I can sell it to Korea or Japan.

What can be done now is the transformation of the handicraft industry, which is to lay the foundation. Only when the foundation is laid can the machinery industry be ushered in.
Moreover, the handicraft industry does not appear to be too bad when it is turned on and off. It is too scary to have a generator or power plant when it comes up.
