This time Bai Shi also came to watch the excitement, looked at the strange spinning machine and asked Chang Xi, "Is this really useful? Why is this big wheel installed here? Can turning it spin more yarn? How many more are there?" There are so many rows of spindles, can this big wheel drive so many spindles to rotate..." The more he talked, the more excited he became.

"Madam Ba Shao is interested, why don't you give it a try?" Chang Xi urged.

She doesn't know how to weave, although Chang San'e has seen it in Chang San'e's memory, but the real practice will reveal her secrets, so she directly uses her strengths and avoids her weaknesses, and let Bai Shi, who is incarnate as a curious baby, come.

Baishi had learned weaving before, and he was good at spinning. As soon as he heard this, he was eager to try this new type of spinning machine without saying a word.

This is different from the traditional spinning machines in the past. In the past, you had to sit down to spin, but now you have to stand up to work with this new machine.

Chang Xi watched from the side, and let the talented carpenter Yang Jiang explain the key points of use to Bai, while she explained a sentence or two next to him, the purpose was to prevent Xie Jin who was watching from the side from becoming suspicious. After all, the original sketch was she provided.

Bai Shi got started very quickly. The big wheel drives the rope sleeve Sui Kai and the small wheel to rotate. The small wheel is equipped with a spindle with a hook on the spindle, and the spindle is installed on the spindle.

When spinning, a small strand of cotton yarn is fixed on the hook, and then twisted by hand. When spinning, the large wheel drives the small wheel to twist the cotton thread, and the yarn is stretched while twisting. After certain steps, the cotton yarn is spun. onto the spindle.

Compared with the traditional spinning machine currently used, this spinning machine can increase the workload several times.

Mrs. Bai liked it more and more. After a while, she saw that the fruits of her labor were extremely gratifying, and then said to Chang Xi while spinning, "Ms. Chang, this is good. You see, I have spun so many years with such a little effort." For the spindle, if it is spun by a large group of people, the results will be great." The tone seemed to embrace a golden mountain.

Chang Xi looked at it, and it was actually just like that. Compared with the later generations, this is nothing compared to the future, but everything has to have a process of evolution, and she can't overwhelm the seedlings, she can only take it step by step.

Craftsman Yang on the side said, "If there is any weakness of this machine, it is the conveyor belt, which can only be made of genuine leather. The cost is too high, and it needs to be replaced frequently."

"It's not difficult." Xie Jin said.

When Chang Xi heard it, she knew that he had a way to get the leather, but this problem still needs to be solved. At that time, the mechanized production of tea bricks will also be used. She pretended to meditate for a while, and said, "I heard that there is an island country in Nanyang. A kind of rubber tree is abundant, and its sap can be made into a kind of rubber skin, which is strong and durable, and the cost can also be reduced..."

"Ms. Chang, does this kind of tree really exist?" Carpenter Yang said in surprise.

Chang Xi nodded, "But people have to search for it. By then, the southernmost place of Daewoo can be transplanted. The climate there should allow a large number of this kind of tree to be planted."

Xie Jin was full of surprises, because it was the first time he had heard that before today, he had claimed to be rich in learning, but now he found that he knew less than Chang Xi, so he said curiously, "That's why you came from a foreign devil. Did you hear it there?"

Chang Xi blushed and said honestly, "Yes, otherwise, where would I know this kind of tree?"

Xie Jin thinks about it for the same reason. When Chang Xi was still Chang San'e, she didn't even know a few big characters. It was only after entering the Jiefu that she learned how to read characters. If she read it from the book, then she was too rebellious. Holy shit, after all, he has read all the books in Jiefu Zangshoushuge, and none of them mentioned this kind of tree.

"I'll send someone to look for Nanyang you mentioned..."

"No, there are people I can use to find them. They are more familiar with the waters near Daewoo, so it will be faster for them to find them."

Xie Jin thought of all kinds of foreign devils that Chang Xi knew. No matter where she came from, she seemed to be able to communicate with others, so it was not surprising that she would say that. He was indeed not as deep as her in this area, so he clicked Nodding, agreeing with what she said.

Chang Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and finally managed to get over the incident.

Xie Jin really saw the spinning capacity of the new machine, so he ordered Zhou Nandao, "Find someone to spin with the old and new spinning machines, see how much the production capacity has increased, and give me an exact answer when the time comes." Give me the value."

Zhou Nan agreed to take over the errand, and there was one more errand, which made him secretly complain that this day was almost unbearable, and he was much busier than before.

Chang Xi saw that Jin said what she wanted to say, so she didn't mention it, but said to Carpenter Yang, "You first find all the carpenters around here to specialize in this kind of spinning machine, but everyone has to sign the contract." Confidentiality contract, if there is a leak, I will definitely sue the government to hold you accountable."

Craftsman Yang has been working in this other courtyard for a while, so he has heard of the confidentiality contract, and he agreed without any objection. Although people in this industry have a living, not everyone has a job for a long time. So it was not difficult for Mrs. Chang to ask him to set up this workshop.

"My apprentices are going out to recruit people."

Chang Xi nodded. She doesn't care about recruiting people. After all, she has limited contacts and does everything by herself. Not to mention that she will be exhausted, but her work efficiency is not high.

The few people discussed everything, and Mrs. Bo was still spinning yarn with great interest. She has great strength and strength, and she can do this for a long time.

Chang Xi looked at it for a while, but did not ignore the smile on Bai's face. It is rare to see such a genuinely smiling Bai, so she said, "Madam Ba Shao, are you interested in joining this spinning workshop?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Bai almost broke the yarn, so she stopped and pointed at herself in disbelief, "Me?"

"to you."

Hearing Chang Xi's affirmative answer, Bai Shi was stunned. She never thought of going out of the besieged city to work outside.

However, she thought that Chang Xi had established a tea brick workshop, and it was running very well, and the maidservants who followed her seemed to have a new look, which looked very different from the maidservants in the back house. She was actually quite envious after seeing it. But she still hesitated.

Chang Xi saw that Mrs. Bo was both moved and hesitant, so she said, "You don't need to answer me now, you can go back and discuss it with Master Xie or your natal family."

Bai Shi definitely has the ability to come out and do things, it depends on whether she wants it or not. For wealthy women in this era, this issue is a bit out of line, but Chang Xi still wants to give Bai Shi this opportunity.

"Then let me think about it." Bai Shi said.

Chang Xi nodded, letting her continue spinning here, turned around and walked out with Xie Jin, and had to go to Lin Yuqi's laboratory to see how it was going.

"Are there really so many miraculous species overseas?" Xie Jin asked on the way.

Chang Xi is not surprised that Xie Jinhui asked this question. In fact, Daewoo is not looking at overseas trade in full swing, but not many people are looking outward. In other words, they have no idea of ​​​​expanding overseas. , Overseas are all barbarians.

"Of course, if you think about how big this world is, how much does the Daewoo Kingdom occupy? If our surrounding waters can be included in the territory of the Daewoo Kingdom, the resources that the Daewoo Kingdom can obtain will at least double."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chang Xi instilled in Xie Jin some places overseas where rice can be harvested three times a season, and their climate is particularly suitable for the growth of rice. Will so many people starve to death?
And if Daewoo Country can achieve industrialization, the products produced can be dumped overseas, which is tantamount to realizing an economic internal cycle, which will double the national strength of Daewoo Country.

Such words were a shock to Xie Jin. Xie He, who taught him, never mentioned these things, or even Xie He was not aware of these economic problems.

Seeing that Xie Jin was silent, Chang Xi closed his mouth in a timely manner, and he must give him some time to digest this problem.

After a long time, Xie Jin said, "Do you know that the coastal area is not peaceful. Before that, many people wrote to the emperor, requesting that the sea be banned, so that the pirates would not have the opportunity to burn, kill and plunder on land."

It is not that Chang Xi has not thought about this issue, "Master Xie Jiu, then we need our strong ships and sharp guns, which are indispensable for guarding the country's coastline. As for the forbidden sea, it is impossible to forbid it. You know that people on this coastline rely on the sea to eat the sea. If you ban the sea in front, others will smuggle in the back. It is a complete industrial chain. No loss of tax revenue."

Speaking of this, she felt that the Municipal Bureau really needed to be reformed, but she could only shelve it for the time being if she was not in her position, so she sighed in her heart and couldn't say much.

Xie Jin looked at the ambition shining in her eyes, and smiled, she didn't know that sometimes she wrote ambition on her face, but fortunately, her ambition is not the kind that makes people feel disgusted at first sight, On the contrary, he could feel the vigorous vitality in her.

On the other side, Mrs. Bo waited for her husband to explain Chang Xi's proposal after he came back, and finally said eagerly, "Do you think I should go to the newly built textile workshop?"

Jie Ming looked Bai Shi up and down, and said bluntly: "Do you think you have this ability? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you don't do it well?"

Hearing this, Bai Shi said unhappily, "A dog can't spit out ivory. Why can't I do what you can do?"

She refused to admit defeat.

Xie Ming said that he couldn't beat her, so he shut up immediately, leaving only one sentence, "Just as long as you are happy." He quickly slipped to tease the child, so he didn't want to be in the same room with her, hum, don't you know how much you weigh?He doesn't take a basin of water to take care of himself, so what can he compare with Chang Xi?
Bai Shi directly grabbed what was at hand and threw it at the back of Xie Ming's head, hum, she let him hurt her?
Xie Ming quickly dodged in response, turned around and Qi Bai said, "I don't have the same knowledge as women."

"go away!"

Mrs. Bo was explaining that she didn't get a good word here, so she went back to her mother's house from another courtyard to discuss with her mother.
