Chapter 334 [National Mechanism]

The flea pouted his mouth and swayed in front of Bai Dong. When he saw Bai Dong turn to look at her, he frowned, indicating that he was very depressed and sad, and he blamed you for this!

It was so easy that the women in Baijiazhuang practiced swordsmanship and so on, but they made some sweater needles and wool! Now, from the old lady to the bitter wine to the women in every household in Baijiazhuang, everyone was crazy, holding a few needles and dragging a ball of wool to knitting sweaters. It seemed that if they could not knit sweaters, they were not qualified women!

The flea felt that it was too difficult for me to teach those students who were not diligent in the college. When they returned home, they had to learn acupuncture with Bijiu, and they couldn't learn it! In the past, when they danced in Baijiazhuang, how many women and aunts would slap their hands? Now, they didn't even pinch their eyelids, and they also happily showed the new patterns and patterns they had just knitted in front of her. Now every time Bijiu developed a new sweater weaving method, they would be surrounded by a group of women and aunts like stars. Even if she pulled out eighteen sword flowers with one sword, no one would care about it.

He was angry and wanted to compare bitter wine, but the flea found that he had more difficulty picking up a few sweater needles than holding a sword. He even poked his fingers a few times! It was over. Now the mothers in the village have regarded her as a big joke and a negative textbook. When educating their daughters, they would say that they should never learn to learn flea lady, and they can't even knit sweaters, and they will not be able to marry in the future.

The Guanzhong Plain in early summer has not yet passed the late spring cold. Now, knitting a beautiful sweater and wearing it in an outer robe is Lao Qin's most fashionable outfit. After Silde raised the "stick" to knock out the Western Regions, Du Zhi and Gou Shengzi took the caravan and set off in a mighty way. According to Bai Dong's explanation, this trip was not for making money, but for the ethnic minority brothers to experience the silk, porcelain, tea and various exquisite wooden furniture of our Lao Qin. It is very simple to exchange for these wonderful things, and it is done with wool!

The news that the Chinese killed King Sek and the two Qiang kings in half a month had already spread throughout the Western Regions like wind. Now not only the Meng family has gained a firm foothold, but even the Chinese caravans have received the highest etiquette. At the beginning, these ethnic minority brothers may still be a little unwilling to do so, but when they saw the "cheap" wool that could actually be exchanged for good things from China, they were completely crazy. So the Pleasant Goats in the Western Regions encountered the biggest disaster in history, and many of them were rubbed off their whole body and turned into a meat ball. The transaction price of wool among the arms of the Western Regions also changed from ten shell coins per kilogram to thirty. When Du Zhi and his friends returned from the Western Regions for the second time, the hard currency in the Western Regions simply turned into wool.

Today, the Rong people in the Western Regions have not yet entered the horror era of "the whole nation raises sheep". Sheep eating people is just Ying Quliang's imagination. However, after the Western Regions had stored wool for many years, various felt threads and felt blankets were rushing into Qin, the Qin State still completely experienced the madness that only existed in the industrial era.

The huge profits brought by wool made Ying Quliang participate in it. Now the Qin State has quickly established an official sweater factory, and the capital is paid by Bai Dong, a rich man. Then, the whole country mechanism ensures that from the production of wool to the acquisition of finished sweaters, all aspects of production are unimpeded. Just like the secret salt factory built by Wei Ying, the sweater processing factory that can be seen everywhere in later generations is now even more mysterious than the satellite launch base in Lao Qin. There are 5,000 elite Qin troops guarding the battle and ready to deal with destructionists from the enemy country at any time.

As an advocate and investor in this matter, Bai Dong can obtain 30% of the profits, but the spinning machine he developed must be strictly confidential. In addition to being used in national factories, even the Baijia Trading Company is not allowed to produce it privately, and it is even more impossible to apply for patents, otherwise Ying Quliang would be crazy.

Bai Dong doesn't care about this. He applied the classic cases of "sheep eat people" in later generations, not just to make money, nor to engage in land enclosure activities like Europe in later generations. What he lacked this year is not land, but people! He just wanted to gradually control the Western Regions economically; no matter how fierce and difficult the Rong people in the Western Regions were, they could only be led by the old Qin people from then on. For Bai Dong, this was actually not a tragedy, but a comedy. Just like China in later generations, it was really not a bad thing to let the central government control ethnic brothers.

Now Ying Quliang's sweater production has been put on the agenda. He is planning to stock up in summer and then earn a lot of foreign exchange in autumn and winter. Such good things are not afraid of other countries not buying them. It is up to Wei Chaochu to catch this one. Therefore, the national factory will rush to make spinning machines, wool, sweaters, and recruit factory workers day and night, and will also put the finished wool to all the people. If there are women at home, you can learn to knit sweaters. The government will acquire them uniformly. In this way, it will successfully digest the female labor force, which will not only increase the national income, but also not affect farming and military resources. This is really wonderful. Ying Quliang will dream that Bai Dong and him will work together toward the bright future of Lao Qin in his dreams.

Women from the Min family make money by knitting sweaters, while women from the noble family make face. Now even if Bai Dong goes to the academy to drink bitterly, he won’t be lonely, because every day, the noble family’s wives line up to ask her for advice on acupuncture.

With this bitter wine, I knitted a few sweaters suitable for babies to wear; Ying Shu was about to give birth, and a few days ago, Tian Yinqi sent a letter happily, saying that he could hear the sound of the baby kicking, and thanked Bai Dong very grandly, saying that he used the prescription given by Bai Dong, and he is becoming more and more like a man now.

Xi was so happy to be a father. Looking at China, I am afraid that only Tian Yinqi is the only one. He laughed so hard that his stomach hurts when he heard it, but Bai Dong was amazed in his heart. King Wei of Qi will be King Wei of Qi in the future. Tian Yinqi obviously knows when to endure it, and even knows who must make friends. This guy is much more terrifying than King Xuan of Qi who is about to be braided!

However, Tian Yinqi is not the powerful overlord of the world in the future. Military advisor Sun Bin, who has achieved his overlord status, was kidnapped to Qin by himself early and is now staying happily in the Western Regions to educate students. So within three to five years, he doesn't have to worry about the safety of Ying Shu and his son. As for three to five years, Tian Yinqi will still dare to be unfavorable to Ying Shu and his son?

"Husband, they are talking to you! You have really been killed by you. I can't learn how to knit sweaters. Now many people are saying behind their backs that they don't look like women! I don't care, you might as well send me to the Western Regions. If you continue to stay in Qin, I will be angry to death!"

"That won't work. The Western Regions are still in danger now. I won't feel sorry for Sun Bin and Silde when they go. I will feel sorry for you when you go."

"I'm talking nonsense again. I'm going to go back to the academy. The young master and Shaoguan have been dishonest recently. I'm going to beat him up!"

"Haha, the uncle is in the hands of the second wife, so you must endure hardship."

The flea was feeling unhappy, but Gongshuzhi was so desperate that he ordered people to carry the newly made spinning machine in. He greeted the flea with a smile. The flea snorted coldly and turned away. The flea was so confused that he couldn't figure out how he offended the second wife of the Bai family. But he didn't know that the flea was annoyed and was upset about the phrase "Second Lady". The wife was just a wife, and he was just a second wife. You were all the second wife in your family!

"Brother Gongshu, the flea was just trying to make me angry, so please don't blame me."

"Haha, I heard that it was all knitting sweaters that made the whole woman in Liyang now is crazy, but the second wife can't learn this craft. Such a strong person is regarded as a laughing stock. No wonder she gets angry."

Gongshu smiled and ordered people to place the spinning machine: "Please look at Baizi. This modified spinning machine can be moved with feet. It is much more useful than the previous hand-cranked ones. Lao Qin has this thing, no matter how much yarn is, it can be produced."

This loom is actually a foot-pedal three-leg loom that was popular in Europe in later generations. There is a pedal and a leather strip below, connecting an object similar to a wheel above, and then connected to the spindle from the middle of the wheel concave. Because the wheel part rotates in the direction of the hour hand, the spindle rotates inside and outside, which forms a kind of torque. The primary yarn made by hand will become tougher and more powerful after being tempered by this torque.

This thing seems simple, but in fact it still makes Gongshu straight and wonderful. The wonder is that the interaction between force is reflected in this simple wooden loom, and the concept of "torque" was proposed for the first time. Except for Wu Zhuan's strange boy, he was no longer interested in it, Gongshu straight benefited a lot from it, and said that he wanted to worship Bai Dong as his teacher.

Bai Dong looked carefully and nodded, "It's very good. The products produced by Gongshuo are indeed extremely exquisite. However, in the future, it will be necessary to produce such things in large quantities. It doesn't matter whether the appearance is exquisite. The key is speed. By the way, Brother Gongshuo, I have something to discuss with you. I believe you will be very interested, but it's very dangerous."

Gongshu was slightly stunned: "Bai Zi, please say that Gongshus are not afraid of danger or death."

"I want to ask Gongshu to send enough children to the Western Regions to recruit a group of Rong people to work. The more people, the better. It is best if a certain number of Rong people in the Western Regions join. At that time, the government will send troops to escort you and will also allocate money for recruitment. I know that Gongshu's children travel all over the world, and even Rong people in the Western Regions have mostly heard of Gongshu's name, so it is the most suitable for you to go."

"Is this what Qin Gong means?"

Gongshu was slightly stunned: "Since you need people to work, you should use Lao Qin people first, right? Why should you go so far away from the nearest thing?"
