No matter how you look at the parties who speculated on the camp, since the other party expressed such goodwill, Zhao Ziying would not turn them away, when there were more and more things to intercede, Zhao Ziying had already begun to prepare a banquet and set up wine, and the people in charge were Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui.

After saying this, Wang Zhaojing said solemnly: "Big brother, the younger brother takes the liberty to say it again, I hope that the eldest brother will take Miss Nameng's family as a concubine, this is for our Zhao Ziying's long-term plan, and it is also for the peace of the eldest brother's inner house." ”

Hearing Wang Zhaojing's words, Zhao Jin's face immediately sank, but in addition to the angry look, more was crying and laughing and helpless, he looked at Wang Zhaojing, the other party's expression was firm, and before he could speak, Ruhui also said: "Master, what the third master said over there makes sense, the master is young and vigorous, and the two housewives have official duties, and it is a good thing to have a concubine to enter the house, and it is a good thing to have someone to serve you." ”

Zhao Jin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My family matter, what are you doing so much effort?" ”

"Big brother, big brother, your family affairs are the official business of Zhao Ziying, among them, the younger brother and Mr. Cao and Mr. Zhou have all said that the eldest brother must not be neglected." Wang Zhaojing said very solemnly.

Zhao Jin sighed, but stood up and said, "You and Daxiang and the horse team are preparing, I'm going to go to Huai'an North District to have a look, you guys are busy first, I'll go to the iron yard and weaving yard now." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jin walked out of the door under the guards, Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui got up to see each other, and the two glanced at each other, both with helpless expressions.

Xu Zhenzhen has the Xu family behind her, or Xu Zhenzhen controls the Xu family, and the huge amount of coal and iron consumed by Zhao Ziying is provided by the Xu family, and Xu Housheng is in charge of the craftsman hall, needless to say, the children of the Xu family have many people working in various brigades, farming, and trade, no matter what, this is a big force.

And Mu Shulan is the integration of the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect, the original Dongchang Mansion many Mu family backbones, the original Xuzhou Wenxiang Sect branch backbone, all with Mu Shulan as the sect leader, after all, the Xuzhou Wenxiang Sect branch is still in charge of Mu Shulan, and the Xuzhou Wenxiang Sect Branch has swallowed the remnants of the Shandong Wenxiang Sect, and even the White Lotus Sect system of the Yizhou Tian family is naturally close to their faction.

In addition to the people who are still working in the sect, those former sect members who were born in the Xiangxiang Sect and worked in various brigades and regiments of the Zhao Ziying camp, farming, and trade are also very close to Mu Shulan's line.

If there is a difference between Xu Zhenzhen and Mu Shulan between the dignity of wives and concubines, then the people around them have nothing to say, but the status between Xu Zhenzhen and Mu Shulan is equal, and Zhao Jin also arranged it this way.

Xu Zhenzhen and Mu Shulan are sisters to each other, they get along very well, and there is no conflict between them, but it is not that everything is fine without conflict.

They represent two factions, and they can command a lot of forces from these two factions, which naturally has contradictions, not to mention the issue of an heir.

Now the situation of Zhao Ziying is big enough, although it is still under the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is already a country within a country, who will have such a big foundation in the future? Although Zhao Jin is just in his early twenties, he has grown old one day after all.

Xu Zhenzhen and Mu Shulan are also young enough, looking like this, they will give birth next, if Mu Shulan gives birth to girls, then there is nothing to say, but if it is a boy, then there are many rights and wrongs, although Daming pays attention to the inheritance of the eldest son, but Zhao Jin never does things according to the rules of Daming.

Everyone is not worried about these things, but there are countless precedents, such as the royal family of all dynasties

However, everyone also knew that Zhao Jin would not make any choice between Xu Zhenzhen and Mu Shulan, so everyone proposed a compromise method and asked Zhao Jin to take Meng Ziqi as a concubine.

Turning the two sides into three parties, the situation is not so intense, and the Meng family brothers and sisters are the sons of the Zhao family, Meng Zhiqi is now the deputy of the firearms brigade, and he is the elite force under Zhao Jin.

When this began to be discussed, Meng Zhiqi avoided it with interest, grasped the drills of the firearms brigade, and went to see Zhao Jin as little as possible, anyway, there is no war now, and it is okay not to ask for instructions.

When Zhao came in to the weaving yard, there was a commotion inside, and the stewards wanted all the weavers to come out and kneel to greet them, but they were stopped by Zhao Jin and signaled them to do whatever they had to do.

"Originally, many old weavers still felt that so many people weaved cloth, spinning could not keep up, but I didn't expect that the yarn could always keep up with the progress, according to the knowledgeable people, our approach is at least several times faster than others." The steward of the weaving yard said with great interest.

said that he would do what he had to do, but Zhao Jin walked in the loom, many weavers' hands were trembling, and the warp and weft were often wrong, Zhao Jin took a few steps and saw that something was wrong, and left here with a wry smile.

The spinning place and the weaving place are far apart, compared to the relatively open weaving workshop, this spinning workshop is heavily guarded, if you have been in the Zhao Ziying winery, you will feel very familiar after seeing the pattern of the spinning workshop, this is a completely closed operation, there are high walls and trenches, only a few fixed entrances and exits, and there are armed families around to practice patrols.

Just here, a cart of cotton thread was sent to the weaving workshop, and after Zhao Jin walked in, he saw the same busy scene.

It's just that in this workshop, spinning is not the kind of spinning wheel used by farmers and Jiangnan weavers, but a completely different spinning machine.

This spinning machine is made with a spool full of roving mounted at the bottom of a frame with ten spindles. Each spool is attached to a spindle with a strap. A spindle that passes through the guò between the two bars forms a rod that slides back and forth on the frame. The spinner moves the rod backward to extract the roving, and then the horizontal bar is squeezed to clamp the belt, while the rod moves backwards, turns the wheel, and the wheel rotates the spindle, and when the twisting reaches a certain distance, the rod moves forward again, and the spindle slowly rotates to wind the yarn.

In the past, one person could only produce one thread at a time, but now one person can shake it, but at the same time, it is ten times more efficient.

There is such a process, and the cost of cotton cloth produced by Zhao Ziying is at least forty percent lower than others, not to mention the low labor on Zhao Ziying's side.

When the steward introduced here, his expression was much more cautious, most of them were attached to Zhao Jin's side and whispered, and the craftsmen and others here were not as enthusiastic as the weaving workshop, and they were all cautious.

The spinning machine didn't run so smoothly, and it often jammed, and then a carpenter would come and check the oiling and so on, but even then, the output was much faster than the spinning wheel.

"There are already six carpenters and spinners who can run, and they all beat the board according to the rules, and next time they should be killed"

Zhao Jin didn't have the slightest surprise at this news, just smiled and nodded, these carpenters and weavers were the same as the craftsmen who saw the secret method of winemaking in the wine shop at that time, they didn't expect this method to be so simple, just to change their own thinking, there is such an effect of turning stones into gold, as long as you have seen it, you can grasp it, as long as you do it yourself, you can definitely make a fortune, even if you join hands with others, you will make a fortune, why bother to work hard for others.

Zhao Ziying had long been on guard against escaping, and anyone who had this mind was punished heavily, but Zhao Jin knew that when he was really scared, he would have to wait for the first person to be beheaded, and when he saw this bloody lesson, everyone would understand the severity.

After reading it here, I walked to the outside of the spinning workshop, and there was no one who could eavesdrop on it, but the steward's voice was still very low, and he said: "Master Jin, there are already craftsmen who have figured out a good way to weave cloth, and their subordinates have taken close care of people. ”

"As long as there is a good way, report it immediately, and we will definitely reward it." Zhao Jin nodded and said.

At that time, he reminded the carpenter in the workshop, and it turned out that someone really made a spinning machine that could run ten spindles at the same time, and this person got a full thousand taels of silver, and gave him two choices, and lived in the workshop with his whole family for three years, and after three years he was allowed to start a business, or give the silver to his family, and live in the workshop himself for three years, the craftsman chose the former, and now the whole family lives in the workshop.

The reward of a thousand taels of silver, the position of the deputy director, immediately made the other craftsmen motivated, especially the spinning machine is not too complicated, the craftsmen who have been in contact with those hydraulic machinery have their own ideas, and for the materials and costs of invention and trial, Zhao Ziying's workshop is in sufficient supply, and there are many inventions and creations for a while.

However, the most important thing is the sentence that Zhao Jin mentioned at the beginning, but few people will remember this sentence, it is nothing more than standing it up or flat, and they all think it is a casual remark.

"Don't be deducted from eating and drinking, you need to open your mouth when you need food, salt, meat, and fish, if you want them to work diligently, you must eat enough before eating." Zhao Jin admonished before leaving.

Some people will be crazy about this way to make a fortune, but more people feel that this food and clothing are rare, and the owner has given such good conditions, everyone should be grateful and content, and Zhao Ziying's food and lodging will make them even more inseparable from this side.

After Zhao came to the iron yard, the atmosphere here was more relaxed than that of spinning and weaving, although the smoke and dust were billowing and the whole workshop looked quite dirty.

Xu Housheng and several supervisors were busy on the spot, and when Zhao came in, it was Xu Housheng who came to greet him, and the others were busy in their respective posts.

Usually Xu Housheng is dressed as a scholar, and his body is very clean, but at this time, he is like a blacksmith, black and gray all over his body, wearing this dirty short robe, his face is also flowery, a glimpse made of ink crystal hangs on his chest, his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks tired and tired.

"Let your sister see it, and it will hurt again." Zhao Jin said with a smile, Xu Housheng looks very pleasing to the eye.
