Chapter 5 The Empire On Which The Sun Never Sets
This Sun Baohu, who knocked bones and marrow on the common people, was a bureaucratic and gentry that Wang Youzhen must recommend.
The industrial revolution is not just a technological revolution, but more importantly, a system revolution, and a major change in feudal society.
Wang Youzhen was not far from Sun Baohu. When he heard something about Sun Baohu talking to the housekeeper, he became even more hostile to him.
Sun Baohu looked at the common people who were kneeling on the ground in front of him and kowtowed constantly, without any intention of worshiping God: "Tomorrow, I will pay fifty taels of silver in the account and go to the county government to invite the troupe who is good at criminal affairs."
"Fifty taels are not enough, so I will pay one hundred taels. I will invite the team leader no matter what."
The housekeeper didn't understand that his master had already lost 100 taels of silver, so why did he throw out 100 taels of silver in person: "Master, this is..."
Sun Baohu slowed down the oriental dance fan in his hand and said, "This is a god. If I master this method, would I still worry about not having glory and wealth?"
The housekeeper looked back at the big hole in the middle of the iron millstone and nodded solemnly: "The master is wise."
After finishing the matter together, the master and servant left the muddy salt fields.
Wang Youzhen took a look at the direction where Sun Baohu left without leaving a trace, and after waiting for a cup of tea, he took his younger brothers back to Yanchi Village.
the next day.
Wang Youzhen took his five younger brothers to practice martial arts in front of the ancestral hall as usual. After lunch, the five younger brothers went to the salt field to help dry salt.
Wang Jiren drove a mule cart back to the village. When he met a familiar fellow villagers, he said he wanted to repair the ancestral hall.
Wang Jiren has been famously kind since childhood, and the villagers in the village have no doubts, and they all smiled and said congratulations.
Wang Youzhen was still a little surprised that Uncle Er had finished the matter so quickly.
Less than a day passed, and the second uncle got through a lot of trivial matters such as silver, wood, iron, etc. It seems that it is not a waste of time for those who have been able to be a fellow for so many years.
Wang Youzhen first greeted his second uncle and signaled him to move the materials into the ancestral hall, so he went to the backyard of the ancestral hall to help.
All the fences in the backyard of the ancestral hall were pulled out, and Mr. Wang and several familiar bricklayers were building a circle of tall earthen walls.
Several others built mud-paste shed roofs according to Wang Youzhen's requirements and laid a layer of blue bricks on the ground.
Such luxurious behavior made several bricklayers stun their slap.
After all, blue bricks are not cheap, it is simply laying silver on the floor.
Wang Youzhen also knows that blue bricks are not cheap, especially for him at present, every penny of silver has to be spent on the blade.
The first element in building a factory in the industrial era is to harden the factory floor.
The cement has not been fired yet, so it is impossible to really harden the ground. It can only be temporarily replaced by blue bricks.
It was built for half a month in succession.
I spent nearly ten taels of silver to build the backyard of the ancestral hall.
Mr. Wang turned down the carpenter work of the salt diners and made every effort to build a spinning machine on mulberry paper.
The Grain Rain season just passed.
Mr. Wang created the Jenny spinning machine according to the size marked on mulberry paper.
Three Jenny spinning machines that started the first industrial revolution were neatly placed in an inconspicuous village ancestral hall in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Youzhen looked at the three Jenny spinning machines and his breathing became much heavier.
Mr. Wang and Wang Yiren couldn't help but touch Jenny's spinning machine, and their movements were very gentle, just like holding the newly born Wang family's eldest son and grandson.
When the palms of the two men fell on Jenny's spinning machine, their palms couldn't help but tremble slightly.
This is a spinning machine that can spin 100 spindles at the same time.
Wang Youzhen tried hard to calm down and began to check the Jenny spinning machine.
The Jenny spinning machine is mainly composed of a drum, a roving bobbin, a movable tension rod, a vertical spindle, a transmission shaft and other structures.
Wang Youzhen carefully checked it, and then confirmed that there was no problem, and looked at his grandfather and second uncle.
In the expectant eyes of the two elders, Wang Youzhen stepped on the clean and hard blue brick floor and walked to the rotation axis.
Hold the rocker of the transmission shaft with one hand and shake it gently.
With a 'crack' sound, it sounded.
It's like opening some kind of treasure underground palace.
Two tones.
Three tones.
Ten tones.
...........
The continuous "crack" sound resounded throughout the quiet and empty backyard.
Mr. Wang and Wang Yiren looked at the spinning machine that began to rotate. One hundred spindles rotated at the same time. They had never seen such a miracle before, and their scalp was numb and excited.
He didn't care about being careful, so he quickly walked to the other two Jenny spinning machines, and began to turn the rocker like Wang Youzhen.
Three Jenny spinning machines were heard in the backyard of the ancestral hall at the same time, and the sound became even louder.
Wang Youzhen looked dazed and almost burst into tears.
As a later doctor of engineering, he understands more than anyone else what kind of suffering the various technological blockades in the West have brought to China.
In order to curb the rise of China, we have begun to suppress China with various industrial technologies, just to turn China into a sweatshop.
And those Westerners can lie peacefully on the blood and sweat of the Chinese people, and be a Beile Ye who can enjoy high benefits without having to work.
This time, Wang Youzhen was going to finish the path that the Ming Dynasty had not finished.
Leading the Western technology era.
Implement a technological blockade on the West.
