"Save the silver, calligraphy, paintings and antiques in the warehouse, the cloth and grain to Li Ran, and let him take care of them."

Liu Jun had a relaxed expression, and the search of his house was considered to be a solution to his urgency.

This year, we will pay salaries to officials and soldiers will pay money.

However, for him, this amount of money is far from revitalizing Jingzhou.

If you want to make Jingzhou invincible in troubled times, you still have to take the path of industry, which is the foundation for getting rich.

Now Jingzhou's internal affairs are at peace, and the government affairs of various governments are on the right track.

It is a good time to implement the technologies in the base one by one.

After getting the order, Hu Wei turned around and left.

When he arrived at the front yard, Liu Xuan was taking his servants to send rouge to the caravan at the door.

"Your Highness, I have given all the rouge to the caravan and I have collected all the money." Liu Xuan spread the account book to Liu Jun to show.

After scanning the account book, Liu Jun nodded.

The merchants only paid the deposit last time, and they collected more than 30,000 taels of silver.

Now the remaining 80,000 taels have been paid, a total of 120,000 taels of silver.

He looked at the box behind Liu Xuan, and the white silver was placed inside.

"Let's leave these chores to the servants for now. How is the spinning workshop going?" Liu Jun asked Liu Xuan to follow him.

Following Liu Jun, Liu Xuan said: "According to your instructions, all the spinning machines made by the craftsmanship department have been transported to the spinning workshop. He has selected the people who fled south to do their work with cleverness. Construction should have started today."

"Take me to have a look." Liu Jun nodded as he walked.

Although Jingzhou was in chaos these days, the craftsmanship department has not been idle.

Not only did he deliver three thousand grenade guns to the Guardian Mansion, he also built 200 Jenny spinning machines.

As soon as he got free, he asked Liu Xuan to free up Gao Hongyun's house and temporarily change it into a spinning workshop.

There are dozens of officials who were raided in Jingyang City this time, so many yards are left, which can be used.

Jiang Jitong led the guards to guard the palace.

Last time, Tang Zhou felt embarrassed and even led the Feihu Guard to train hard, so Xue Shi was even more free.

The group came to the house where Gao Hongyun originally lived.

Liu Jun heard the sound of spinning outside.

There were many carriages parked outside the yard, with cotton on them.

"These cottons were bought from Massi's businessman Duterte. Massi's rich cotton, and they produce long-length cotton, which is more suitable for spinning than Rongchao's short-length cotton."

Liu Xuan took out a ball of cotton from the cotton basket of the carriage and came to Liu Jun.

"Well, the cotton is good. Let him supply the cotton from the spinning workshop in the future." Liu Jun has read a lot of books about other countries these days.

I have some understanding of the specialties, customs and history of these countries.

After comparison, he found that the culture of Western Australia is very similar to that of contemporary Europe.

However, the area of ​​each country is much larger than that of contemporary Europe, equivalent to an enlarged version of Europe.

The situation in Dongzhou is also roughly similar, and every country can find contemporary countries with similar cultures.

For example, Japan is equivalent to Japan, Fuyu is equivalent to Bangzi, and Beihu is equivalent to Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Dos, Kern, and the more northern Rus were the same country under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, equivalent to Tsarist Russia, but later split.

The Womo culture in the south is equivalent to India, Dayue is equivalent to Vietnam, and Taung Chi and Manluo are almost equal to Burma and Thailand.

As for the Western Qin, Great Chu, and Northern Yan, they have the same roots and origins as the Rong Dynasty, similar to the relationship between the countries in the Warring States Period.

The only difference is Nanzhou.

In his opinion, this land is somewhat like a large collection of many island countries in Southeast Asia and Australia.

Unlike the desolation of Australia in history, this continent is very prosperous.

"When I was selling rouge, I gave him some money. I didn't dare to tell your highness about this." Liu Xuan scratched his head, a little nervous.

Liu Jun smiled, "Yes, he is getting smarter and more and more like a businessman."

"My father said so, and even said that my dull temperament has changed a lot." Liu Xuan smiled.

After getting along with Liu Jun, he felt that Liu Jun was a very easy-to-talk person and could tell him anything.

Liu Jun patted his shoulder to show encouragement.

Throwing the cotton back, he went straight into the spinning workshop.

"ah!"

Liu Jun entered the yard, and the woman spinning suddenly became messy, hiding like a mouse seeing a cat.

It turned out to be June and the weather was hot. The women working were dressed in short clothes, revealing their white arms and legs.

Only older women are not panicked.

An old woman who looked like a supervisor walked over quickly.

She knew Liu Xuan, but not Liu Jun, but just bowed to Liu Xuan and said, "Manager Liu didn't say anything when he came, but it scared the girl and daughter-in-law in the room."

Liu Xuan forgot about this, made a big blush, turned his head and didn't dare to look at it, but just said, "This is Your Highness, Prince Jing, come to the spinning workshop to see it."

When the old lady saw Liu Jun, she knew that she was a rich and noble young man, but she never thought that she was King Jing. She was so scared that she knelt down and kowtowed.

Liu Jun looked helpless and knew that Rongchao's feudal ethics were not light, so he stepped out and asked the woman to get up and talk outside.

“Is this spinning machine easy to use?”

Liu Jun asked, according to what Liu Xuan said, the woman in her fifties was named Xu Danfeng, and he chose to be responsible for the spinning workshop.

"It's easy to use, it's easy to use. The old woman has never seen such a powerful spinning machine for so long. She spins eighty spindles at a time. No one believes it if she says it." Xu Danfeng slapped her legs and praised.

"How many spun cotton yarn can be spinned in a day?" Liu Jun asked the yield issue he was most concerned about.

Xu Danfeng said: "The cotton is constantly wading, and the least one person can spin two trucks of 160."

Liu Xuan added next to him: "Because the spinning machine consumes too much cotton, Duterte doesn't send enough cotton, but he said he has sent someone back to transport it here on a big ship."

Liu Jun nodded. If this is the calculation, the spinning workshop's 200 yarn trucks can produce at least 96,000 spooled cotton yarn in a month.

Currently, Rongchao sells one penny of silver for one spindle of cotton yarn, and the spinning workshop can earn at least 10,000 taels of silver per month, while the extra one is nearly 20,000 taels of silver.

This is just a small workshop with 200 people. If you continue to use spinning machines and expand to a scale of 1,000 people, you will have a stable income of 50,000 to 100,000 taels per month.

If you continue to expand, your income will be even more.

"No wonder the spinning industry is the foundation of the industrial revolution. It seems to be small profits but it is actually making money." Liu Jun was shocked.

After asking the mother a few more words, Liu Jun said, "When you go back, tell them that from today on, their wages will not be calculated on a monthly basis, or on the number of spinning spindles. The more you work, the more you earn, who can earn more, depends on your ability."

"Oh, this is great." The old lady clapped her hands and smiled: "Your Highness is really a godlike figure. This idea makes them unable to hide."

Liu Jun smiled. This wage model is very popular in contemporary textile factories. This is the basic salary plus an increase model. Naturally, no one has used it here.

Liu Xuan wrote down Liu Jun's words and was secretly impressed.

In this way, in order to earn more money to subsidize the household income, the women in the spinning workshop would rather spin the yarn day and night.
