Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

In the castle in Xiyang City, Liu Feng was flipping through government documents in his study.

"Bang bang bang..." There was a knock on the door.

"Master." Mina's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in." Liu Feng's mouth curled up.

"Crunch..."

"Tatatatat..." Mina pushed open the door, walked in, and placed a stack of papers on Liu Feng's desk.

"This is the information on the shares purchased in the past two days." Mina sat on the desk with her hips up.

"En." Liu Feng nodded, looking at the several names on the front page that he was familiar with.

He turned his head and asked, "How many shares have you sold in the past two days?"

"Including those who haven't taken away the contracts, a total of more than 70,000 copies were sold." Mina picked up the notepad she carried with her, flipped through a few pages, and responded.

Those who haven't taken away the contract, of course, haven't settled all the money. Only after they have replenished the goods and gold coins, the shares they subscribed will truly belong to them.

"It's more than I imagined." Liu Feng smiled.

"In two days, there will be more buyers." Mina firmly believed.

The news hasn't spread in the past two days, and there are many nobles in other cities who don't know about it. When they find out on 3.3, they can sell at least another 50,000 to 60,000 shares.

In addition, the newspaper in Xiyang City reported this matter early this morning, and the earnings for each quarter of each year will be published in the newspaper, and at the same time, it will be announced simultaneously on the Xiyang City Exchange.

When the time comes to see that it is really making money, more people will naturally buy shares.

He has already begun preparations for financial means.

"Very good." Liu Feng nodded. How long will it take for the 200,000 copies to be sold out? Perhaps after they make the first sum of money, they will regret not buying more shares at the beginning.

"By the way, young master, we have found a suitable place to build a vegetable greenhouse." Mina suddenly remembered something and said.

"Where is it?" Liu Feng raised an eyebrow and asked.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"One more, (￣▽￣). Please support."

Chapter 849 Preparations for military uniform change. (2 for support)

"Six hours away from Xiyang City, there is a basin surrounded by mountains on three sides, which meets the young master's requirements." Mina replied while flipping through the notepad.

"Six hours? Is it the carriage distance or the flight distance?" Liu Feng asked.

"Carriage." Mina responded.

"Well, this distance is fine." Liu Feng nodded, then he can go back and forth in a day, and it's not too far away.

"Then young master, do you want to arrange a field visit?" Mina asked.

"Well, leave tomorrow morning and return in the afternoon." Liu Feng counted the time and could return to Xiyang City before dark.

"Okay." Mina wrote it down.

"Now go to the workshop and have a look." Liu Feng stood up and stretched his waist. After sitting for a long time, he wanted to get up and walk around.

"Okay." Mina followed Liu Feng out of the castle and got on the carriage to the workshop.

"Tap Tat Tat..."

"My lord, Workshop 25 is here." Sink erected the wooden ladder and said respectfully.

"Crunch!"

Opening the door of the carriage, Liu Feng took Mina out of the carriage and walked towards the workshop.

This time Liu Feng came to inspect the weaving workshop, and this time he wanted to see the weaving of wool. A lot of wool has been brought back from the prairie, and wool has been made into wool long before, and now it is woven into woolen cloth.

The woolen cloth workshop also uses looms driven by steam engines.

"Buzz..."

Before Liu Feng entered the workshop, he heard the sound of the steam engine running.

"My lord, please wear a mask before entering the workshop. There is too much fluff inside." The person in charge of the workshop saw Liu Feng from afar, and greeted him with several masks.

Liu Feng nodded. This mask is made of cotton cloth, with a thin layer, which doesn't affect breathing much. It's their own invention.

"Let's go, take me to have a look." Liu Feng waved his hand, very interested in woolen cloth.

"Yes." The person in charge replied, leading the way ahead, entering the gate and then entering the factory building.

Rows of looms are working here, and the woolen threads are driven by the looms, and finally woven into woolen cloth, which is rolled into a bundle by workers.

"My lord, please look, this is the finest woolen cloth that can be made so far." The person in charge took Liu Feng to the warehouse where the woolen cloth was stored, and pulled out a piece of woolen cloth.

Liu Feng stretched out his hand to touch the woolen cloth in front of him, it was a little prickly, but its fineness was similar to that of high-grade linen, which was enough for winter.

"How much wool cloth like this can be produced in a day?" Liu Feng asked, clapping his hands.

"It's less than one-fifth of the linen." The person in charge shook his head and sighed, and then explained, "It takes time for a spinning machine to spin wool into thread, and half an hour for the wool thread needed for a ten-meter-long woolen cloth." to be carded and spun from wool into woolen thread."

The person in charge paused for a moment, seeing that there was no displeasure on Liu Feng's face, he said quickly, "My lord, the most important thing is to degrease the wool, which is the most time-consuming."

Liu Feng nodded. He was also thinking of a way to do this. The wool had to be degreased in order to get rid of the unique smell of sheep on the sheep.

Degreasing requires the use of alkali. At present, the only way to extract it is to use the local method of plant ash to extract it, and the speed will not be fast. After all, the plant ash has to settle down and the water on it can be used.

Such a process is too troublesome, and degreasing has become the most time-delaying process.

The best solution now is to find alkali mines, but there is no news of alkali mines yet. If alkali mines can be found, not only wool can be made into clothes, but other animal hairs can also be made.

Liu Feng pondered for a while, looking at the woolen cloth in the warehouse, there were really not many of them. These woolen cloths were enough for soldiers to make military uniforms, but there were too few to sell.

"I will send more people to you, and let the people from the research department send a few more textile machines. Before winter comes, enough woolen cloth must be produced." Liu Feng looked at the person in charge and said calmly, but there was seriousness in his words .

"Yes, my lord." The person in charge replied, as long as he is given more manpower, the output can be increased.

"Tomorrow, I will have someone send over the design drawings of the winter military uniforms, and let the people in the garment workshop make a batch out of woolen cloth to have a look." Liu Feng said to the person in charge.

As long as you have a military uniform made of wool, you don't have to wear too bulky in winter, and it will be much more convenient in all aspects of movement, and it will keep warm much better than linen clothes.
