The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

After handing over the rifles and grenades to Xu Tiangong, Zhu Heyu took people to visit several other factories.

The pharmaceutical factory, food processing factory, cement factory, and watch manufacturing factory have all been completed and put into production, but the output of the cement factory failed to satisfy Zhu Heyi.

"Mr. Liu, how much finished cement can our cement factory produce every day?"

In the cement-rolling factory, Zhu Heyi frowned and asked as he watched the indigenous people with towels around their mouths and noses and their bodies dyed gray and white laboriously pushing stone rollers to crush the fired cement blocks into powder. .

Of course, he is not feeling sorry for these natives, but the current production method is too inefficient!

There are currently so many factories, but this cement factory is the only one that uses all indigenous workers. This is because Zhu Heyi knows that cement dust will have an impact on the human body when inhaled into the lungs in large amounts, especially with this primitive production method.

"Back to Your Majesty, our current daily output is 10 tons of cement."

"so little!"

Although Zhu Heyi knew that the output of such a primitive production method would not be very high, he did not expect that it would only be this little.

At 10 tons per day, this kind of output would only be considered a small workshop in future generations.

Nowadays, the daily cement consumption in Manila is close to one hundred tons, and the production speed has been far unable to keep up with the consumption rate. If it were not for the support of the 1000 tons of finished cement, I am afraid that the construction sites in various parts of Manila would soon be affected by the lack of cement. And shutdown.

"Your Majesty, the firing of cement is not a problem. What restricts the output is rolling and fine grinding. As you can see, this process is both labor-intensive and time-consuming. Currently, if we want to increase cement output, we can only continue to increase manpower. .”

After hearing Liu Yongxiu's words, Zhu Heyi nodded slightly.

But the problem is that although there are still 6 or [-] indigenous people in Manila today, the elderly and children with little labor force account for one-third of them, and among the remaining part, young and strong men only account for less than Three floors.

Just these young indigenous people in their early [-]s have to be allocated to various construction sites in the city. There is really a shortage of manpower!

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Heyi said:

"Mr. Liu, people are needed everywhere in Manila now. There are already nearly [-] indigenous workers in the cement factory. It is impossible for me to continue to add more manpower to you, but you can use water power to replace manpower. The waterwheel mill should not be difficult. It’s up to you, this place is not far from the Pasig River, and a factory dedicated to crushing and grinding can be built on the bank of the Pasig River. The cement blocks fired here will be transported there and crushed by hydraulic power.”

Zhu Heyi's words made Liu Yongxiu's eyes brighten obviously.

yes!If manpower is insufficient, water power can be used instead!Then the big Pasig River is right there!

"Your Majesty! This method can not only save a lot of manpower and material resources, but also greatly speed up the grinding efficiency!"

……

Towards evening, Zhu Heyi ended his inspection trip for the day and returned to the Governor's Manor.

After having dinner with his sister, Zhu Heyi returned to the room, and then he couldn't wait to open the Miracle Market in the virtual space.

After a busy day, I finally have time to see what’s new in this week’s Miracle Market.

[A reel spinning machine, with parts drawings, priced at 8000000 taels of silver! 】

[A shuttle loom, with parts drawings, priced at 400000 taels of silver! 】

"I boil it!"

Zhu Heyi couldn't help but burst out after seeing the first two items.

This is not because the reel spinning machine costs as much as 80 taels of silver, but because the emergence of this machine will completely change the entire textile industry!Or even change the world!

Even though the price of this machine in the Miracle Market is 80 taels of silver, when it comes to its actual value, 80 taels is probably less than one ten thousandth of that!

We must know that in the history of previous lives, the emergence of the Jenny spinning machine not only affected the entire textile industry, but also opened the prelude to the British Industrial Revolution. As the successor, the reel spinning machine appeared in this era, its influence will be How terrible.

If Zhu Heyi remembered correctly, the British Empire was currently engaged in a large-scale land enclosure movement, which was also known as the famous sheep-cannibalism incident.

Just the year before last, the British government issued a decree to openly support the enclosure movement.

At this moment, nearly half of the land in the UK has been turned into pasture. The animal husbandry and textile industries account for almost half of the UK's GDP!

Zhu Heyi is still not sure what kind of impact he will have on the UK when he enters the textile industry with these two advanced machines.

But what is certain is that when the exquisite and cheap cloth of the Ming Dynasty appeared on the market, the British aristocrats who ran textile mills would probably not be able to cry anymore.

But what does this have to do with him?

Without any hesitation, Zhu Heyi immediately bought these two machines, and then he turned his attention to the next item.

"An improved steam engine, with equipment drawings attached. Priced at 1000000 taels of silver!"

……

Looking at this product, Zhu Heyi couldn't help but start to doubt his own system. Miracle Mall was the main body, and the rest of the building functions and recruitment functions were all included.

After all, these three items were enough for him to start the Industrial Revolution.

The beginning of the industrial revolution also heralded the rapid progress of military technology and the batch production of advanced equipment.

These are not what his current first-level system buildings can do, but now because of the emergence of these products, his first-level buildings have directly developed by leaps and bounds?

Suppressing his inner excitement, Zhu Heyi immediately bought the improved steam engine.

After three golden legends were released in a row, the subsequent products finally returned to normal.

A box of beer, a small-power gasoline generator with 100 liters of gasoline and a high-magnification Zeiss telescope.

The selling prices of these three items were almost negligible compared with the above ones. Zhu Heyi cleared them out without hesitation. From now on, he no longer had to go to Xiao Zhaoyu's house to use the air conditioner.

After shopping, Zhu Heyi lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

"This week's miracle market is a big surprise, but the consumption rate of these silver taels is also exaggerated. If we can't keep the treasury full at all times, I'm afraid we will miss a lot of good things in the future. It seems we must seize the time to make money!"

At this moment, there were only more than 20 taels of silver left in his system treasury, which made him extremely insecure. After all, the incident of missing the armored cruiser in the first week because he had no money was still vivid in his mind.
