My Empire War Game
Chapter 176 interests first
The arrival of the half-elves injected new vitality into the territory. After Suren heard that there were weavers in the half-elves, he immediately ordered the establishment of a weaving factory.
The amount of cotton originally planted in the territory has also doubled. Originally, cotton was grown to make cotton clothes. Now Su Lun has a new plan to make cotton cloth. You must know that although silk is smooth and comfortable, the price is too high. The same is true for cotton cloth. It is a high-grade fabric, and it is more popular in the north, and its thermal insulation effect is better.
In addition to skilled workers, the establishment of a weaving factory also requires professional looms. There are not many looms in the territory, the weaving efficiency is not high, and the woven fabrics have large gaps. Su Lun looked at the spinning machine in front of him. It was a single-spindle spinning wheel that could only spin one silk wool at the same time.
And the half-elves now use the spinning technology of three spinning wheels, which can spin three strands of silk wool at the same time. Not to mention other things, only the efficiency has been improved three times.
After studying the structure of the looms, Suren remodeled and upgraded the existing looms.
Possessing the powerful skill of mechanical control, Su Lun knew these machines very well. After talking with several master weavers for a while, Su Lun modified these looms based on their suggestions.
The technology of the three-spindle spinning wheel is not difficult. To put it bluntly, as long as you understand the principle, you can easily make it. In many cases, it is not the technology that cannot do it, but the thinking that falls into a misunderstanding. After figuring out the problems of these looms, Suren first made a three-spindle loom.
Since you can spin three spindles at a time, why not add more spindles? Finally, after some renovations, Su Lun successfully produced a textile machine that can spin five spindles at a time and a textile machine that can spin nine spindles at a time.
The structure of a five-spindle loom is not difficult, similar to that of a three-spindle, but the structure of a nine-spindle loom is much more complicated, and it is essentially different from a five-spindle loom.
The efficiency of the nine-spindle spinning machine is already comparable to that of the Jenny spinning machine in the pre-industrial revolution of the previous life. As for making a spinning machine that can spin more spindles, Su Lun has no plans for the time being. It is true that it can be produced if it continues, but this era is not the highly prosperous society of the previous life.
Too much production will directly reduce the price of cotton, which is not good news for Suren. The production level in this world is only the level of the Middle Ages, and the consumer market is limited. The emergence of a large number of cotton cloth will directly lead to a drop in the price of cotton cloth. Cotton cloth is not sugar, but a consumable item.
At that time, a large number of cotton fabrics will be listed, but the market has not expanded, and the price of cotton fabrics will plummet directly. The more powerful and efficient the loom that Su Lun finally made, the more the price of cotton fell.
The cotton cloth that could make money easily had to be turned into small profits but quick turnover. Similarly, the increase in cotton production will also increase the scope of cotton planting and the price of cotton, which will further reduce the profit of cotton.
Of course, in this way, the commoners will get a lot of benefits. For example, after the price of cotton cloth falls, they can also wear it, but what does this have to do with Su Lun? Therefore, the best technology is not the best choice. He doesn't want to turn luxury goods into Chinese cabbage, which is not good for him.
In many cases, technology is not as strong as possible, but needs to consider economic interests.
In order to prevent the technology of the textile machine from leaking, Suren deliberately used the nine-spindle spinning machine with the most complex structure, and another advantage of the nine-spindle spinning machine is that it requires a small number of weavers. The fewer the number of people, the lower the risk of leaks. The technology of the nine-spindle textile machine is very complicated, and it is very difficult to steal it.
[New type of textile machine: The improved and upgraded new type of textile machine has a leap-forward improvement in efficiency and quality, working efficiency +30, quality +10, output +40, durable +15, hard work +15]
With the new type of textile machine, the weaving factory was built soon. However, there were some problems with the establishment of the weaving factory. At this time, it was completely green and yellow, the cotton had not been planted, the ice and snow had not melted, and the business road had not been opened, even if there were machines. Unable to produce, Zhenbei City now has machines but no raw materials to start work.
However, although there is no cotton, there are many plants such as flax, ramie, and jute growing in the wasteland. The half-elves often collect these plants and then process them and weave them into cloth. Since there is no cotton, they will first make all kinds of linen.
And some linen fabrics are no worse than cotton fabrics. Just like fine linen and ramie woven by masters, they are also very comfortable to wear. Many churches use fine linen and ramie to make clothes.
Some churches stipulate that clothing such as cotton and silk is not allowed. The original intention was to let church members wear ordinary linen to sharpen their will. As a result, they did not wear cotton and silk, but fine linen and ramie.
The land outside Zhenbei City has been reclaimed in large quantities, and more than a hundred oxen have also been pulled out to cultivate the land. After some savage training, the wildness of these wild oxen has been greatly reduced.
Barbarians are not human, especially those barbarian warriors, who also help to train them when they are idle. These barbarian warriors can easily suppress those wild bulls and make them have to act according to the will of barbarians.
After being cleaned up several times, these wild buffaloes have become qualified cattle. However, with more than 100 cattle, it is basically unrealistic to cultivate 50,000 mu of land. In many cases, only manpower can be used. After defeating the orc coalition, a large number of orc slaves, gnoll slaves, hobgoblins and bear goblins were captured, and these slaves were powerful enough to cultivate the land.
Outside Zhenbei City, there is a simple sewage treatment plant, where all the sewer drains are gathered. At this time, Su Lun was wearing a mask and instructing the apprentices to make farmyard manure. In addition to domestic sewage, there are also excretion such as feces. Even the cow dung, horse dung and sheep dung in the territory have been collected and sent here.
In addition to a few humans, there are more goblins and kobolds here. The feces are fermented and then processed in several processes to make farmyard manure. Although the fertility of these farmyard manures is not as good as that of chemical fertilizers, the effect is not as good. Not bad, coupled with the effect of the Harvest Altar, the land output of Zhenbei City will definitely increase this year.
Only half of the newly established land is used to grow food, and the rest is generally used for various crops, such as soybeans, sesame, ramie, fine flax, sugar beets, cotton, etc.
In addition to potatoes, wheat and barley are the part of growing grains. The brewery in Zhenbei City is trying all kinds of grains to make wine. He is going to brew some high-altitude wine. The weather in the north is cold, and high-altitude wine is more popular.
After this year, the grain in Zhenbei City will definitely be too much to be eaten. These grains will deteriorate and become moldy after a long time, so the best way is to sell or consume them. Over-delivery of food from the northern wasteland to humans does not need to think about it, definitely At a loss, it can be sold to some tribes in the wasteland who are willing to befriend Zhenbei City, such as the centaur tribe. Speaking of which, Su Lun hadn't seen the little mare for a while, and she didn't know how she was doing.
If the operation is done well, Su Lun will soon be able to use grain to pull up an alliance on the wasteland. In addition to selling grain, winemaking is also the largest consumption of grain, and the price of wine is much higher than that of grain. Other races in the wasteland also like to drink, but because of the problem of food production, alcohol is more precious, and even if it is sold to Carter City, there is a lot of income.
There are two kinds of alcohol in this world, one is wine, which is for the aristocracy. One is ale, which is aimed at ordinary people. The rum produced by Sulun from waste honey is also aimed at the nobles. The sales of low-end rum are not good. Those mercenaries and caravan guards think it is too weak. The southern provinces will be more popular, but the channel of Zhenbei City cannot extend there.
For oat barley and potato brewing, there are attempts in the brewing workshop. If you want to brew high-level wine, you need to distill. The production of wine stills is not difficult. The only problem is sealing, but in this magical world , there are many means to solve the sealing problem.
These technologies need to be explored and tested slowly. Many times, a lot of knowledge that Su Lun brought from his previous life cannot be used in this world. In the past few years, Su Lun has already practiced a lot, such as black gunpowder. The big killer, Su Lun made it according to the proportion, but it turned out that the black powder could not explode in this world.
In this world, there is something similar to black gunpowder, called dwarf gunpowder. Suren does not know the specific formula. The dwarves strictly keep their secrets and do not leak it. It is said that the cost of this gunpowder is very high. Of course, there is another reason. The senior professionals in this world are too strong, and the power of dwarf gunpowder is not as powerful as imagined. At least one fireball blast from wizards is more powerful than a bucket of dwarven gunpowder.
Su Lun was very busy during this period. With his hard work, a large number of fertile fields were reclaimed, and the irrigation facilities outside the territory were gradually improved. The oak forest is also growing very well.
Miss Chrissy was also very busy during this time. Su Lun entrusted her with the affairs of the Consultative Hall. At the same time, in order to improve her strength, she took time to go to the training ground to train dodge every day. During this time, she has made great progress. .
The weaving factory is also entrusted to her. Chris is still learning all kinds of management knowledge. The little maid's studious attitude is worth encouraging. He really needs a capable head maid.
At present, Chris is still very capable, but in the future, Su Lun's strength will become stronger and stronger, and there will be more and more matters in the territory. Chris will definitely not be able to take care of it alone, Su Lun needs to recruit more Some maids came to share her pressure.
