The promulgation of the anti-fine work decree and the popularization of the people's knowledge of fine work made the various forces hidden in Qingzhou suddenly unable to raise their heads.

At the same time, in order to further prevent Qingzhou's technology from being stolen, Xiao Ming plans to refine various technical jobs.

For example, in the production of artillery, the refining of steel, the manufacture of iron molds, the later pouring, and the production of shells are completely independent, and in each process, the types of work are divided in detail, and each craftsman is only responsible for part of the process, and the others are not involved at all.

In this way, the risk of technology theft is greatly reduced.

On this day, Xiao Ming handed over his carefully designed process to Chen Wenlong, and asked him to rectify the equipment department according to the process to prevent the slightest problem.

After receiving the thick booklet, Chen Wenlong admired Xiao Ming more and more, during this time, all kinds of books entered the Instrument Division, the Military Workshop, and the Bowen College from the Qi Palace, which were all written down by Xiao Ming one by one and printed by the newspaper.

Books have always been extremely precious in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, but in Qingzhou, the cost of books has been greatly reduced.

Handing over the process manual to Chen Wenlong, Xiao Ming asked, "The Huang Daopo loom can be delivered now, right?" ”

"Your Highness, no problem, the lower official is about to talk to you about this." Chen Wenlong took Xiao Ming to the backyard of the Instrument Division, where a hundred sets of looms were placed.

This is the famous Huang Daopo loom, a loom that turns a single thread into a multi-thread weaving, once this loom is put into use, the efficiency of Qingzhou's textile industry will be increased more than ten times.

Xiao Ming is now waiting for the loom, and the weaving mills of Aster and Pothos are waiting to be used, and once the loom is put into use, his sail battleship will not have a headache because of the sails.

"Ship them all away, and this king will use them now." Xiao Ming was overjoyed and said to Chen Wenlong.

With all the looms, Xiao Ming returned to the palace, and when he saw that the looms had arrived, Aster and Pothos ran out of the palace excitedly.

"Your Highness, this is the Zodiac loom you are talking about?" Aster said excitedly.

Pothos and Aster are both proficient in female weaving, the two follow Concubine Zhen, often with Concubine Zhen to do some female red, Pothos touched Aster at this time and said: "Sister, this loom can spin ten threads at the same time, look at this shuttle." ”

When Aster saw this, she immediately laughed, "Your Highness, transport these looms to the workshop, the slaves and maids can't wait to try it." ”

Qingzhou City is very large, and heavy industries such as steel have been moved outside the city by Xiao Ming, but this weaving belongs to light industry, so the workshop is in the city, which is also Xiao Ming's future industrial planning, heavy industry is outside, and light industry is included.

And in order to make it easier for Aster and Pothos to supervise the weaving mill from time to time, the location of this workshop is not far away, only two private squares from the palace, and in this private square there is a large courtyard with five long rows of brick houses.

When he arrived at the textile workshop, Xiao Ming asked people to move the loom in.

"In the future, this textile workshop will depend on you, and the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army are still waiting for your uniforms?" Now the equipment of the textile workshop is complete, Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Aster Luo said generously: "Your Highness, if this loom is really as magical as you say, this matter is still very simple for us. ”

"Don't talk big, this king has always looked at actual work." Xiao Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Aster stuck out her tongue and pulled the pothos to sit in front of a zodiac loom and try to manipulate it.

Familiar with the Zodiac loom, Aster said: "Your Highness, since this is the case, we have gathered people over, what about the matter of cotton?"

"Li Kaiyuan and I will try our best to provide enough cotton, and you can only be responsible for weaving." Xiao Ming frowned.

Aster and Pothos nodded, and the two discussed it, and divided the work to prepare for the start of the textile workshop.

And Xiao Ming went to the Governor's Mansion and called Li Kaiyuan over at the same time.

"Your Highness, if you want to promote cotton planting, you have to start now, otherwise it will be too late for winter." Pang Yukun said to Xiao Ming.

Once the textile mill was established, this was the beginning of the textile industry in Qingzhou, and once the steam engine came out in the later period, he had the opportunity to produce the Jenny textile machine, at that time, the cotton needed by the textile industry would be greater, after all, he wanted to monopolize the textile industry.

"Li Kaiyuan, did you hear me? It's up to you to get this cotton seed. Xiao Ming said to Li Kaiyuan.

When Li Kaiyuan heard this, he showed a wry smile, "Your Highness, this matter is difficult to do, now the cotton cultivation in the Great Chongqing Kingdom can be mainly in the south, and the main source of cotton is the fief of the King of Chu, and during this time, our Chamber of Commerce travels to and from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and there are many things that have been troubled in the fief of the King of Chu, and now we go to buy cotton and cotton seeds, will the King of Chu agree?" ”

The king of Chu is also the maiden family of the mother of the third prince, and his ambitions have always been great, Chu Yan in the south, Zhao Liang in the north, these four vassal kings with different surnames are the most dangerous, and the other three families have always been honest and never like to be troublesome.

Pang Yukun nodded, "Li Kaiyuan's words are correct, but at this time, the King of Chu must also have a request for His Highness, right?" ”

"You're talking about artillery?" Xiao Ming asked.

Pang Yukun nodded, "This cotton has been planted in the south since it was introduced to the Great Chongqing Kingdom, especially the King of Chu, who has always attached great importance to the cultivation of cotton, and the Chu Kingdom is rich in cloth, and this alone has made the King of Chu earn a lot of money, so the King of Chu has always been very wary of outsiders buying cotton seeds, and even if we introduce cotton, it will take a while for this planting and promotion, and during this time, we can only buy cotton from the Chu State." ”

"Well, what you said makes sense, it's just that my father is still hesitating to give artillery to King Wei and King Chu, if you agree, we can handle him, if you don't agree, you can only be manipulated by King Chu." Xiao Ming said.

This cotton thing once again made Xiao Ming feel the feeling of being constrained, cotton was introduced to Chongqing from Tianzhu Kingdom, so cotton was first promoted and planted in the south, and there were few places to plant cotton in the north.

It can be said that the wealth of the south also has a certain relationship with cotton, after all, having cotton is equivalent to having cloth.

However, even if the time comes to let the state of Chu exchange cotton for artillery, Xiao Ming is still not at ease, he needs two trade routes, one is the fief of the king of Chu, and the other is to go south to Tianzhu to obtain cotton from the origin of cotton, so that he will not be clamped down by the king of Chu.

And in this way, he needs to let Yue Yun and the others operate the sail warship to escort the caravan as soon as possible.

However, at present, the most practical way is to buy cotton from the fief of the king of Chu, he said to Li Kaiyuan: "You organize a caravan to buy cotton from the fief of the king of Chu now, and the chamber of commerce also began to buy cotton in Qingzhou at the same time. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Kaiyuan said.
