Chapter 430 Wool Textile Factory! What Bike Do You Want?

Latest website:

It is about twenty miles east of Yingtian City.

Zhu Gaoxu took four people to the established wool textile factory.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu had already ordered people to start building a wool textile factory and made preparations in advance since Zhou Chen set out to collect wool in the border area of ​​​​Beiping.

"This is the Imperial Manor belonging to the Prince's Mansion. In the past, it was taken care of by the eunuchs in the Prince's Mansion. Last time, I took it over and built it into a wool textile factory."

Zhou Chen: "???"

Big Three:"???"

What?

Donggongzhuangtian?

Are you still shameless?

The palace of the Han Dynasty is as rich as the country, but you can't use your own land?

You are noble, you are great, you use the prince's family property to dedicate...

Huangzhuang, as the name suggests, is a farmland directly operated by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

All harvests from the farmland under His Majesty's name go into the internal funds and are left to the palace's discretion.

The Empress Dowager's farm is also called Gongzhuang, and the Crown Prince's farm is the East Palace farm.

In other words, this is someone's private property, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is in charge of the country's money and food, has no right to interfere.

But you, Prince Han, are lucky enough to build a wool textile factory on the land that belongs to the prince!

Phew, I have never seen such a shameless person!

Zhu Gaoxu shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile: "The prince is the crown prince after all, and the entire Ming Dynasty will belong to him in the future. I am contributing to the court and seeking the welfare of the people. In the final analysis, it is his prince who takes advantage!"

When the four of them heard this, they were even more speechless and rode their horses forward without even bothering to pay attention to him.

Huangzhuang is called a "village", but in fact it is almost a small town, and the area is not small.

The common people living in Huangzhuang are all guests of Huangzhuang.

Some of these villagers donated their land to the farmers of Huangzhuang, and some were people who had no land in the first place and were recruited to cultivate the land.

After all, it is the farmland that belongs to the royal family. If the court has any new policies that benefit the people, the people of Huangzhuang will naturally enjoy it the fastest, so their life is slightly better than that of other farmers.

Zhu Gaoxu rode a tall horse, with the three giants following him, while Zhou Chen took a slow step in a sensible manner, and behind him were the Jin Yiwei led by Nie Xing and Guo Deng.

"Now there are about 400 households and more than 1,200 people living in this village. Among them, there are more than 200 people over the age of 50, more than 200 people over the age of 40, about 500 women and children, and the rest They are all young and strong!"

Xia Yuanji, as the Minister of Household Affairs, is particularly sensitive to numbers.

After hearing what King Han said, he frowned slightly.

Jian Yi saw this and asked subconsciously: "What? Is there any problem?"

"No." Xia Yuanji sighed, and said quietly: "There are more than 1,200 people, but less than half are young and strong. This place used to be an imperial village, and the lives of the common people should be much better than those of other common people. Only a few are right!”

"A leopard can be seen through a tube, and autumn can be seen through a leaf. It is conceivable that the lives of the people all over the world are not as good as reported by the local authorities!"

Jin Zhong and Jian Yi were startled when they heard this and were speechless for a long time.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he did not hide it at all, and directly bombarded: "I have said it many times, the best show of the literati and gentry is to ostentatiously watch and whitewash peace!"

"Nowadays, the rural gentry are annexing fields on a large scale. Farmers and farmers have to pay taxes. How can they live a good life?"

"There is no peace in the world, there is no peace and prosperity, it is just a joke whitewashed by literati."

Zhu Gaoxu sneered and continued to ride his horse forward.

When Xia Yuanji and the other four heard his extremely bitter taunt, they looked at each other for a moment, but they were unable to refute, and in the end they could only remain silent.

Soon before the four of them arrived at the manor, someone was already there to greet them.

This person was none other than Zhou Chen's old acquaintance, the wealthy businessman Qiu Guangde who had hosted the tasting party.

"Caomin Qiu Guangde meets the prince!"

Upon seeing Zhu Gaoxu's face, Qiu Guangde shouted with excitement and excitement, and fell to his knees without hesitation.

Seeing that look, if there was no one around Prince Han, he would definitely rush forward and hug his thigh.

"Okay, let's get up. How is the construction of the factory going?"

Zhu Gaoxu got off his horse, then stepped forward to help Qiu Guangde up.

"Back then, I drew the drawings of the textile factory and specifically marked the areas that needed attention. I also deployed an engineering team from the Royal Manufacturing Bureau to cooperate with you in the construction. Now that it has been so long, don't tell me that it hasn't been completed yet. !”

"Okay, okay!" Qiu Guangde explained with joy: "It has been built a long time ago. The factory has already produced thousands of pieces of cloth. Now we are just waiting for the wool to arrive so that the factory can start producing woolen cloth."

"And the factory has purchased some wool on the market in the past few days and has started trial operations, and the results are very good!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhu Gaoxu's face.

This Qiu Guangde is indeed a wealthy businessman who made his fortune from scratch. He can rest assured that things will be handled by him.

However, at this moment, Xia Yuanji raised another objection.

"Your Highness, the King of Han, if this factory is built in Zhuangzi, it will definitely occupy the manor's land. What should those Zhuangke people do? Is it possible to drive them all away and leave these Zhuangke people to fend for themselves?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously blurted out: "Of course they join the factory as workers. The factory will pay them a certain amount of money according to their working hours. UU Reading www.uukah.net "

"And not only this factory, if nothing else happens, when the wool industry officially gets on the right track, the entire place will be converted into a wool textile factory to supply demand, so I still think there are not enough manpower here!"

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji's face turned red with embarrassment and he was confused as to what to say.

Seeing his friend like this, Jian Yi hurriedly came out to smooth things over, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Highness is wise!"

After such a gag, the atmosphere instantly relaxed a lot.

Everyone soon arrived at the location of the factory, which was located next to a river bend and the terrain was very flat.

Under the leadership of Qiu Guangde, everyone walked into the factory.

Most of this factory uses cement concrete from the Royal Manufacturing Bureau. It is extremely spacious, strong and durable.

"Your Majesty, the textile factory now has a total of more than 500 beds of textile equipment. If it is fully produced, it can produce more than 10,000 pieces of silk cloth of various colors a year, and the daily production efficiency is about 20 to 30 pieces."

"We only produce 10,000 pieces of cloth a year. Isn't this a bit inefficient?"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned, but after thinking about it, he could only sigh.

The textile industry in the Ming Dynasty actually made great progress.

Especially when it comes to cotton weaving, the Ming Dynasty had no restrictions on cotton. From top to bottom, no matter how high or low they were, they could wear cotton to keep out the cold.

Therefore, it also played a great role in promoting the cultivation of cotton, and the corresponding was textile technology.

These changes have greatly promoted the development of the textile industry.

But compared with future generations, this is nothing.

Zhu Gaoxu can also understand. After all, he built this wool textile factory initially to cooperate with the shepherding plan, but now that the shepherding plan has been stopped, all that is left is to increase income for the court.

If that's the case, what else do you need a bicycle for?
