Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong has already made preparations for those people not to stay, why is it different from what Xiao Xuexing said?

After sitting down, Chai Shuren said helplessly, "Actually, there's no particular reason, it's just that they made money."

After he explained it, Xiao Zirong realized that the main reason was that Xiao Xuexing's birthday was too grand on the night, there were a lot of people who came, everyone was not short of money, and the shopping was very lavish.

And Xiao Zirong just let these people come over to join in the fun, they earn as much as they want, and they don't charge their money.

These people can't wait to earn two years' worth of money in one night, they are excited and excited, of course they want to make money like this every day.

You must know that Qi State...or not just Qi State, since the Han people ruled this land after Yiguan went south, they have been very exploitative when dealing with these barbarians.

Although the number of these barbarians is quite large, but because the division is too serious, they cannot beat the Han people, so they can only bear with it. As long as they can survive, they will not resist, and there is no way to resist.

So even if Xiao Zirong forced them to come here before, they would actually come here, regardless of their board and lodging.

However, Xiao Zirong regarded this matter as a transaction, and completely followed the routine of attracting investment in later generations, which did not flatter these people.

If the treatment is good and you can make money, a fool doesn't want to stay.

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong really couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "It was a special situation that day, you go and tell them clearly that you are staying to do coolies, and although you will be paid for things like moving bricks and building walls, you will not be paid. too much."

After Xiao Zirong finished speaking, he felt that these people might not stay again, after all, with such a big gap, most people would not want to stay.

Chai Shuren asked: "Then if they want to stay, where will they be placed?"

Xiao Zirong said: "Isn't there already a private house built in the development zone? You can let the people who work in the factory subscribe, just follow the price given before, and then wait for them to move out, just let these people live there gone."

The residential area has not been fully built, but it is enough for now, because only the workers who stay in the factory can subscribe at the cost price. Of course, such a low subscription price is of course not given to the land, but to the land use right. It will be returned later.

But in any case, 70 years of land use rights should be enough, after all, it is cheap, and the house is well built, with a front and back yard, which satisfies the natural skills of flower growers who want to grow à la carte no matter where they go. Generally, the house is at least enough There are seven people, and if you squeeze it, you may be able to live more.

Therefore, after the subscription conditions came out, many people were envious. However, only if they signed a document with the factory to guarantee to work here all the time, those temporary workers were not eligible.

The houses in the first phase were basically snapped up, and most of the snap-up buyers were workers from cement factories and salt factories, especially young ladies.

Because Xiao Zirong does not restrict the gender of the owner, and does not even need to establish a female household, many young ladies are tempted, and Xiao Zirong also added relevant laws.

To put it simply, a woman's house before marriage belongs to the individual. If a woman dies unexpectedly, the first heirs are the parents, the second heirs are the children, the third is the husband, and the fourth is the brother.

Alas, Xiao Zirong originally wanted the fourth heir to be brothers and sisters, but was opposed. The fact that this law can be released is already the result of his efforts to overcome all opinions, and he can no longer push forward.

In fact, there are some folks who criticize, thinking that what kind of house does a woman want?Why should women be able to buy houses?In other words, why can it still be counted as pre-marital property?

Xiao Zirong's explanation to the outside world is that it is equivalent to a dowry. A girl's dowry is not pre-marital property. She can give it to her husband's family, but the serious heir is her own child, so don't even think about bastards and the like.

This explanation has been accepted by many people, and some families even want to send their daughters to factories so that they can earn dowry by themselves.

It's a pity that the salt factory is no longer recruiting, and the cement factory... No matter how much Xiao Zirong tries to develop the potential of women, he can't really let them work for everything, and men still do most of the hard work.

Of course, it doesn't mean that women can't do it, but where there are many men, it is difficult for women to go.

All in all, the house subscription is still very smooth, and many people have even begun to look forward to the second phase of residential housing.

Xiao Zirong wanted to keep those barbarians in order to build residential houses.

He is still worried about letting these people do the real factory.

But what he didn't expect was that many of the barbarians who thought they wouldn't stay actually wanted to stay. In the end, the number of them who were willing to stay was about four hundred.

Not a lot, but it also surprised him.

Most of these people were unsatisfactory people in the original tribe. They didn't get much benefit and made too much money before, so there is no gap now.

The most important thing is that the King of Jinling provided the residence. Those rammed-earth houses seemed to Xiao Zirong to be just a temporary and simple residence, but for these people, the conditions were very good.

They were willing to stay, Xiao Zirong was of course happy, so he simply found someone to integrate them and set up a professional construction workshop, specializing in various projects.

The workshop naturally also belongs to Yuxu Trading Company, anyway, all the commercial activities of Xiao Zirong's men are here.

After all these arrangements were made, Xiao Zirong turned around and began to study the loom.

This is what he thought of recently. If you want to increase productivity, you must mobilize the power of women, but men and women are different. If men account for the majority in a factory, there must be no women. If women account for the majority, it is impossible for men to pass by. .

Strictly speaking, the salt factory does not belong to Xiao Zirong personally. It belongs to the imperial court, but it is under Xiao Zirong's management, so he can still carry out private work.

But how many people can a salt factory use?Even if he expands production, it is impossible to mobilize all the women who can work in Jinling if he supplies domestic salt while also supplying the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Not even a tenth is used.

It just so happens that the most important part of the light industry is weaving. Weaving now takes the path of small households and households. Ladies weave at home, and then part of the woven cloth is kept for tax payment and sold.

However, the production capacity was too scattered and backward, so Xiao Zirong came up with the idea of ​​looms.

He doesn't need to make the loom too advanced. If there is no need for human kind at all, then the living space of ladies will be further compressed.

Some women who are congenitally weak may have to go to the fields to ensure their livelihood, so what Xiao Zirong has to do is to improve a little bit, and then make more looms, and hire people to go to the textile factory to weave collectively.

To be honest, it is not difficult for Xiao Zirong to reach the limit of the existing loom in one step, as long as he overcomes some of the difficulties, but it is very troublesome for him to upgrade the existing loom, because he It is necessary to keep reading the materials, and then record all the materials and hand them over to Zhai Ling and the others to make them.

After Xiao Zirong was ready, he brought over the notebook he had used to record the data. As soon as he opened it, he saw that he had recorded various two-player games on it, all in order to try it with Xiao Xuexing when he went back. He did not expect that he would actually I put this book in the study room, opened it and saw the entries on it, and closed it in a hurry with red faces and bare hands.

He sneaked a look around. Fortunately, he didn't allow anyone to wait on him when he was recording materials in the study. The main reason was that he was worried about being discovered, otherwise he might die in front of his subordinates.

He put the book in his sleeve and prepared to take it to his room to hide it.

After starting the search, Xiao Zirong read the entire history of loom evolution.

To be honest, if he is asked to come without considering the reality, he may be in place in one step and directly engage in shuttleless looms. After all, it will be the general trend for shuttleless looms to replace shuttle looms in the future.

It's a pity that it can't be done like this. If this is done, the entire textile industry will be impacted, and many families may have to rely on women's weaving to survive.

In the end, Xiao Zirong could only choose a large-scale loom from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, called Yunjin Dahualou Wooden Loom.

You can tell from the name that it is specialized in weaving brocade. There has always been a legend that every inch of brocade is gold, and this loom was specially used for the royal family or the emperor in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Yes, Xiao Zirong had no intention of making ordinary looms at all. He would improve and promote ordinary looms a little, but the textile factory wanted to produce high-end cloth, so it was no fun competing with ordinary people for profit. The production system in China has been impacted in all directions, so let alone stability, I am afraid that there will be uprisings everywhere.

Another feature of the Yunjin Dahualou wood loom is that two people must operate the loom at the same time. Not only that, but the two people have to shout slogans and beat the beat when operating, in order to be able to coordinate with each other's movements.

As long as the production method of this thing is not stolen by others, no one can compete with him.

As for the existing state departments that specialize in making these, Xiao Zirong also knows that their efficiency is extremely low, and it takes a long time to make a piece of clothing for the emperor.

Therefore, it often happens that when some unexpected situations are encountered, all the officials of these departments are caught in one pot-delaying things.

After Xiao Zirong drew the drawings, he took them to Zhai Ling and the others.

When Zhai Ling saw the blueprint, he was a little confused and asked, "This is... a loom?"

A young gentleman beside her stared wide-eyed: "Such a big loom? What is it for?"

"Yunjin, the upper part is the flower building and the lower part is the fuselage. This loom may be a bit more complicated. The flower building is responsible for the jacquard part, and the fuselage is the part responsible for the weaving. Please study it to see if there is anything you can't fix. "

This kind of loom has not yet appeared, so it may be very technically problematic.

Zhai Ling said: "My sister and I have done it before, but we haven't done such a big one. I need to study it first."

Xiao Zirong nodded: "Research slowly, it shouldn't be difficult."

Technically, there should be no difficulty. There may be some small problems in the middle, but they are all easy to solve.

When Xiao Zirong came out from the Ministry of Industry, he saw Jiang Yu, the guard who had just been transferred to him, hurried over and said, "Master Lang, Chang Shi has something important to report."

Xiao Zirong sauntered over and saw Chai Shuren's solemn expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chai Shuren took a deep breath and said, "I told you, don't be angry."

Xiao Zirong frowned: "Is something wrong with the barbarians?"

Chai Shuren shook his head: "No, it's the salt factory."

Xiao Zirong was shocked immediately: "What's wrong with the salt factory?"

Chai Shuren said: "Female workers in the salt factory have had accidents one after another in recent days, and dozens of them have died today."
