"Unfortunately, I have recently been studying the natural sciences of the governor, the Four Books and the Five Classics, etc., and I haven't reviewed them for a long time." Whenever Xu Yi has free time recently, he reads the natural sciences written by Sun Yu, and the more he reads, the more he becomes more and more interested.

I think it is profound and profound, much more engaging than the Four Books and Five Classics. For example, the earth is round, and it is not the center, but revolves around the sun. Another example is where does the rain come from? What is lightning? Why do you see lightning first and then hear it?

Xu Yi often stayed up late at night to read about thunder and other topics. This level of study was comparable to that of taking part in the imperial examination.

"You are so shameless!"

...

"Both of you, can you each give in?" Zhang Daqiu shook his head. If these two people continue to quarrel, there will be no result. He can just come out and be the peacemaker. Now in Jianzhou, he is the only one who is qualified.

"no"

"No need to discuss"

The two of them were like fighting cocks, they unanimously opposed each other, and they didn't believe they could suppress each other.

When Zhang Daqiu saw this posture, he felt embarrassed, so he put his arms around Sun Sandao's neck and whispered.

"Ahem, I suggest that the recruits be divided into two groups. Each group will train for half a day and work for half a day until the adults come back. Raise your hands if you agree!" Zhang Daqiu raised his hands directly first, and Sun Sanda also raised his hands.

It's such a quarrel, it's better to compromise and finally get a result.

"Okay, my suggestion is two votes, and your suggestion is currently one person, one vote. Do you two need to discuss it? If you two can reach an agreement, there is still a chance." Zhang Daqiu naturally knew that these two people would not

Reach an agreement, otherwise there would be no need to quarrel until now. It is just to disgust them, who told them not to give face just now.

"Okay, since you two have no objections, let's go with my plan." Zhang Daqiu saw that the two of them had stopped, and he accepted the reality and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have to redeploy some of the veterans, otherwise I won't be able to train." Cheng Zhenbei could only try harder and try to improve the effectiveness of the training. Half a day is better than nothing.

"It's what it should be." Zhang Daqiu nodded. He couldn't train tens of thousands of people by himself. What a fool. There is no need to discuss this matter.

"Also, can the people over at the academy lend me some and teach them how to read? Your Excellency said that all soldiers in the Jianzhou Army must be literate." Cheng Zhenbei saw that he was so happy, so he tried again.

, anyway, you can’t do physical training all the time, just relax.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements later." The two of them were just arguing over ideas. Now that it's over, what needs to be done still needs to be done. Xu Yi nodded. After all, he is a serious scholar, so he naturally knows that this person

Whether they are literate or not makes a huge difference. If Cheng Zhenbei can think of teaching them how to read, he has to spare no effort to support them.

"It requires training and hard work. The food here needs to be improved. There is obviously less meat recently." Cheng Zhenbei saw that all his suggestions were accepted, and he couldn't help but push further.

"Go away," Xu Yi said angrily. Most of the big pigs were eaten except for the seeds. If they continued to eat like this, the breeding pigs would not be saved. At that time, there were only a few seeds left. Xu Yi had already asked Jian again.

Go to the State Commercial Bank

We have collected pigs and are preparing to expand breeding.

Although the Jianzhou Army eats less meat, it has more eggs. The drying room in Jianzhou has already worked, and almost every household raises chickens. There are more and more eggs on the market, and the price is cheaper, which is much more cost-effective than eating pork.

When spring comes next year and the roosters grow bigger, we can purchase a batch to improve our food supply, but that's all we can do for the time being.

"Master Sima, if it's not Old Cheng, I'm telling you that you are the best in the world." Seeing that there was no chance, Cheng Zhenbei didn't bother to continue to mess around, so he went out directly. He had to start training tomorrow, and there were a lot of things waiting for him.

Jianpu City is becoming more and more prosperous, and there is no curfew. People come and go at night, and there is a constant flow.

The Jianzhou Army's daily consumption is astronomical. Xu Yi organized manpower to set up various workshops to meet the needs of the Jianzhou Army. According to Sun Yu's plan, Jianpu City will become an industrial base in the future, utilizing the current Jianzhou Army's

meet the needs, cultivate a large number of skilled workers, and at the same time carry out processing of civilian products and promote standardized assembly line operations.

The most successful industry currently being developed is the garment industry. In the entire garment workshop, there are more than 500 skilled female workers, producing thousands of garments, beddings, shoes and socks every day. In addition to meeting the needs of the Jianzhou Army, Jianzhou also

The commercial bank also placed a lot of orders and began to sell them outside. Due to the booming development of the clothing industry, the demand for fabrics has surged. In order to save costs, textile workshops are also being planned and are expected to be put into production next month. By then, only cotton and linen and other raw materials will be purchased.

Can.

During his last trip to Quanzhou, Sun Yu not only brought back cotton cloth, but also brought a batch of cotton seeds. He will start promoting planting next year and prepares to turn cotton clothing into a specialty industry in Jianzhou to promote employment and income.

In the craftsman camp, in addition to forging weapons and equipment and casting artillery, textile equipment must also be improved and mass-produced to meet the needs of textile workshops. According to requirements, all textile machines must be of the same size, with universal parts and easy wear and tear.

All parts are made of iron to improve durability.

At present, the craftsman camp has completed the manufacturing of the first spinning machine and loom, and then begins mass production of parts, which are then assembled and delivered to textile workshops. Both spinning machines and looms use feet

Use the pedal as power to free up your hands for other operations to improve production efficiency.

"Madam Shen, let's go have a bowl of rice noodles and then go back." The clothing workshop got off work late today because they had to rush to make the recruits' clothing. Two good female workers came out of the workshop door and one of them suggested. This Jianpu City vendor

It was set up very late, so there should still be something to eat by now.

"Ms. Qi, I have to go back. The baby is alone at home, so I don't worry." The Shen family is a widow, dragging the baby alone. The head of the family died the year before last, and she can't figure out who killed her.

. She is a woman who hid in the mountains with her fellow villagers. It was not until two months ago that she came out of the mountains when she heard that female workers were being recruited here.

If she didn't have a job, she wouldn't dare to go out casually. In this city, daily expenses are huge, and money is needed everywhere. She was reluctant to rent a big house, so she rented a room near the workshop.

Please let the neighbors take care of the child.

one time.

"Tell me about you, why are you trying to be strong? There are not many other things in Jianpu, but there are so many men. It's just a matter of starting a family." Aunt Qi shook her head, knowing that she was reluctant to part with those two dollars. After all, one person

It's not easy for people to pull children. But there are a lot of men in Jianpu City, and I heard that the Jianzhou Army's military salary is very high. Even if you have children, it is easy to find them.

"It's not that easy." Madam Shen also wanted to find a place to live, but she got up early every day and stayed late every day, so she couldn't get in touch with anyone. And she couldn't go up and talk to men on her own, so she was too shameless.

"As long as you are willing, I'll take care of it for you. My guy is carrying bricks for the Jianzhou Army. I know him a lot. I'll talk to him when I get back and I'll make sure I find someone reliable for you." Aunt Qi knew.

She had a tender face, so she helped him lead the way. The Jianzhou Army has strict management, but it is still relatively loose in this area. If you get married, you don't have to live in the military camp during non-war times. Sun Yu's move is also to allow soldiers to stay in the military camp.

This settlement took root and promoted population growth.

"Thank you, Aunt Qi. Let's go buy some steamed buns." Mrs. Shen is also hungry, but the rice noodles are a bit expensive, and the steamed buns are cheaper. Buy some back, and the children can eat the rest tomorrow.

"Okay, steamed buns are just steamed buns." Aunt Qi didn't care, as long as she had something to eat, she couldn't sleep because she was hungry at night.

Although Jianpu in winter is not as cold as in the north, it is far from warm. The cold wind blowing from the north still makes people hide in bed and don't want to come out.

Glancing at the bare branches outside the window, I didn't know if Sun Yu and the others were back. I guess it was going to snow heavily in Jiangning.

Xu Yi put on a cotton-padded jacket. This is a new style from the clothing workshop. The lining is cotton, the middle is stuffed with reed catkins, and the outside is made of linen. It is warm and comfortable to wear, and the cost is not expensive. Currently, the Jianzhou Army only has one for everyone.

.Exit the gate of the Governor's Mansion and walk towards the east. Today is the day when the textile workshop is completed, so I have to go and see it.

When they arrived at the textile workshop, the craftsman camp was already being installed. The first batch had thirty textile machines and thirty looms each, so sixty female workers had to be recruited. Xu Yi had a headache. It was difficult to recruit these female workers. He had to recruit more

It would be better to send people to the surrounding countryside to promote it.

At this moment, in the north of Jian'ou City, a dozen horsemen-like figures were driving more than a hundred horses towards the city gate. Horses were also a rarity near Jian'ou City, so many horses appeared at once.

Naturally, it caused quite a stir.

"Quick, hurry up and call the eldest young master. He has always wanted a BMW. The opportunity has come." The guard at the gate of the city took a look and said, "Hey, most of them are high-quality, tall horses. This is a rare thing."

He is a branch of the Zhou family, a wealthy family in Jianou, and he got this job because of his connections with the Zhou family. Naturally, he must not forget to fawn over his eldest young master if he has something good to do.

These horsemen were Sun Yu and his party. It was too cold, so they had put away their armors long ago and were only wearing cotton clothes. They were already disgraced after running around for days. It was considered a trip at public expense when they went there, but when they came back they became horse dealers. Wherever they went, the stench was everywhere
Chapter completed!
