To what extent can tempt it to stimulate people's creativity and how people rack their brains to find ways to improve production technology? Shi Yiwen is not clear, but he is very clear that the productivity of manual workshops cannot meet the actual needs.

In order to increase production, it is ultimately necessary to put into machines.

Let’s start the yarn mill first!

After leaving the factory, Shi Yiwen was thinking so much in his heart, and with his understanding of the north, he was more eager to open a schizone mill here.

When the carriage passed through the Lugou Bridge, Shi Yiwen ordered the coachman to stop, and then he came down deliberately and looked at the busy Lugou Bridge from afar. This bridge has extremely special significance in the hearts of many people, and it is closely related to this nation.

Maybe the factory should be called Lugou Yarn Factory

Just when this thought came to his mind, Shi Yiwen was a little surprised to find that Qiao seemed to be different from what he remembered.

Hey, it seems to look a little different.

The skill of talking to oneself was heard by someone behind him.

It is different from the past. During the previous dynasty, the cross-street tower of Lugou Bridge was built. Our dynasty built a bridge six times from the tenth year of Yongle to the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing. Although there was no major renovation, the bridge still changed a little.

After turning around, he immediately laughed at the familiar young man Shi Yiwen.

Zixuan.

Looking at Zhang Jingxiu wearing a black round neck shirt and a Dongpo scarf, Shi Yiwen finally realized the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Although it is not an old friend, it is also an old friend. It is indeed not easy to meet this year and month.

When will you be in the capital?

Alas, I have been in the capital for several months. I heard that Brother Zhiyuan became the owner of the capital and lived a very uncomfortable life, so I thought of asking for a glass of wine in the village. I never thought that my brother was not there but I didn’t deliberately come from your farm and chased him here. I won’t blame me for taking the initiative.

Zhang Jingxiu's words made Shi Yiwen laugh.

How could it be? You are not in a hurry to see you happy.

Seeing a tea stall under Wanping City in front of him, Shi Yiwen smiled.

Let's go there and have a seat.

After sitting down at the tea stall and serving tea at the store, Shi Yiwen looked at Zhang Jingxiu with a smile and said.

Last time I came back from Zunhua, I heard from my family that you had been there, but you never left an address. I am really sorry. These days, I often think of you, and I don’t know when I will meet.

Do you miss me?

Zhang Jingxiu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and picked up the teacup, and said while drinking.

I am really inconvenient to stay at my relatives and friends' homes, so I would like to forgive you.

Boarding at home for relatives and friends?

Shi Yiwen frowned.

If it is inconvenient, stay there.

I will not bother my brother anymore, after all, I am a relative and friend at home, so it is hard to refuse.

Rejecting his kindness, Zhang Jingxiu changed the subject again.

My brother’s family said, you set up a factory in Lugou River. I saw cotton planting in the village. Did you want to spin and weave cloth in Beizhili?

Well, I can't hide this from you.

Shi Yiwen smiled.

Zixuan didn't know that the north was cold and resistant, while the cotton cloth was thick and wear-resistant, soft and warm, and low-cost. It has always been popular among the people of the north. However, local people in the north such as Shanxi, northern Zhili, northern China, are not good at spinning and weaving, so most of them are mainly Jiangnan cloth. They buy no less than millions of Jiangnan cloth every year, and set up a yarn mill here, and the profit is much more than you and I imagine.

It is not just far beyond imagination, it is an incalculable opportunity. The northern population relies on buying clothes. What kind of concept is this? How could Shi Yiwen miss such a huge market? It is precisely because of this reason that he first planted cotton in the farm. Of course, the cotton seeds were taken from the warehouse of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Research Institute in the space, but there were only more than 200 bags. Although each bag had 25 bags and 25 kilograms, it was only enough for five or six thousand acres. However, according to Shi Yiwen's plan, the cotton planted in the farm is for breeding. Some of these good varieties will be promoted to the cultivation of high-quality mainland cotton around the capital next year. When farmers' income increases, they will also provide him with enough raw materials.

It seems that you like doing business very much.

Looking at Shi Yiwen with a smile on his face, Zhang Jingxiu said with a smile.

There are cabbage carriage shops, factories by the Lugou River, and Nanjing. It seems that when you walk there, you will do your business there.

Why don't you like it?

Looking at Zhang Jingxiu with a smile, Shi Yiwen said seriously.

This business is done well, but how can I not like the great things that benefit the country and the people?

Oh? Please teach me my brother.

After drinking a sip of tea, Shi Yiwen looked at the boy in front of him. Although his clothes looked heroic, his fair and delicate face made him lose all his heroic energy.

His appearance is too beautiful. If it were later generations, he would probably be a so-called sissy.

Sighing that he was not as good as others, Shi Yiwen looked at the pedestrians on the road and asked back.

Zixuan, how do you think the lives of the people in the north compared to the people in the south?

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jingxiu said truthfully.

The country of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River has twice the yield of rice in the fields, and it is easier to harvest twice a year. Although the occasional flood and drought, people's lives are naturally far from comparable to those in the north. Although the north is wider, they harvest once a year, and there are often droughts and locusts. Therefore, the northern people are just barely able to feed and fed. If the weather is good, if it is a disaster, it is difficult to find food and fed.

That's hard to find, it's clear that you will starve to death!

Looking at the passers-by on the road, Shi Yiwen pursed her lips and said.

But even if the north is poor, the northern people still spend millions of yuan to buy cloth from the south of the Yangtze River every year. The people in the south of the Yangtze River not only benefit from fish and rice, but also enjoy the benefits of textiles. Their lives are naturally far greater than those in the northern provinces. This seems reasonable. After all, if the northerners do not spin and weave cloth, they naturally have to buy cloth from the south of the Yangtze River, right?

Seeing that Zhang Jingxiu seemed a little confused, Shi Yiwen said seriously.

But have you ever thought about it? The merchants and gentry in the south have made huge profits in textiles, and the people have made great profits in planting cotton and spinning. What about the tens of millions of people in the north? They can only squeeze out some silver from their teeth to buy Jiangnan cloth. In this way, it will only cause one phenomenon - the already poor wealth in the north will flow into the relatively rich south. With the developed textile industry, the rich south will gain all the advantages of the north. Such a scissors will only make the already barren north more and more barren.

Facing Shi Yiwen's answer, although he didn't know the difference in scissors, Zhang Jingxiu still listened, thought, and then asked back.
