Chapter 496 Cloth

The arsenal in the Jiaodong Industrial Zone is expected to have the same product categories as the Dongping arsenal in the future.

The main reason is that as the scale of the new army becomes larger and larger, the demand for weapons and equipment can no longer be met by a single arsenal.

I believe that with the expansion of the territory, the number of arsenals will increase in the future.

"Now that the development of Jiaozhou Bay is beginning to take shape, the population is booming, and the market is prosperous, so an administrative plan needs to be formulated."

Zuo Mengeng is about to leave Jiaozhou Bay. Before that, he has to solve one last problem.

The Jiaozhou Bay area originally belonged to the Lingshan Guard of the Ming Dynasty, several thousand-household settlements, and a salt field.

It is sparsely populated and desolate everywhere.

But now the population living in this area has exceeded 500,000, and it is also a naval station. It is expected to become more and more prosperous in the future.

As for how the administration here should belong, it must be determined.

Regarding this point, the most nervous people are Fu Yusun and other Jiaozhou Bay administrative officials.

After all, this is related to their political status.

As one of the big guys in the Jiaodong area, Cao Wenheng has a lot of say.

"Jiaozhou Bay occupies a vast area, has a large population, and is in an important location. It can be established directly as a city."

Several other people had similar views and felt that municipal administrative agencies could be established here.

Zuo Mengeng actually thought so too.

"My opinion is to form Qingdao City here, with Fu Yusun as mayor, and the rest of you will be promoted in turn. However, for specific opinions, you have to write to the administrative committee to obtain approval and support."

Zuo Menggeng paid more attention to his posture and rarely interfered in administrative affairs.

For such matters, after he has made a decision, he has to seek the opinion of the Administrative Committee and then hand it over to the Administrative Committee for implementation.

But everyone knows very well that there is no problem in passing this matter through the administrative committee.

This is determined by the development of Jiaozhou Bay.

After confirming this matter, Zuo Mengeng left Jiaozhou Bay and headed north to Yidu.

The First Division received his order and had already begun to launch an offensive against Qingzhou Prefecture.

He was not worried about how the first division was doing, he was going to see how much results he could receive this time.

Now everyone is used to Zuo Mengeng's style of doing things, and no one bid farewell to his departure with much fanfare.

Everyone is still busy at their posts, even exhausted.

"Gong, let me tell you, if you can't get it out, I will kill you."

In the sail manufacturing factory, Wang Xiuqin put her hands on her hips and roared like thunder, making the people around her tremble.

Gong Salu felt extremely wronged.

"Beautiful lady, my surname is not Gong..."

Wang Xiuqin interrupted rudely.

"You are so beautiful! Don't talk to me about these useless things. I have sent you the raw materials. I will see the finished product within a month at the latest. If you can't see it, I will hang your head on the mast."

Kyungsaro trembled with fright, and finally came to his senses.

"The loom will arrive tomorrow. I guarantee that it will not take a month at all, but only half a month, and you will be able to get the cloth you need."

Wang Xiuqin wanted to teach her a lesson, so her deputy ran over and whispered in her ear.

Wang Xiuqin was angry.

"Since he is a criminal, he should be sent to the place where he should be sent. You have nothing to say to me."

The deputy quickly lowered his voice.

"This criminal is special. The commander-in-chief personally confessed it to you and asked you to deal with it."

Wang Xiuqin was not stupid and immediately asked: "What's the story behind it?"

The deputy muttered for a long time, and Wang Xiuqin's eyes lit up. She didn't even bother to teach Gong Salu a lesson, so she turned around and left.

She was about to turn out of the door, and just when Gong Salu was about to take a deep breath, she turned around again, her eyes filled with authority, pointing at Gong Salu, and her tone was full of chill.

Gu Bi

"Half a month."

Kyungsalu nodded his head and finally sent the tigress away and spread it directly on the ground.

"Oh, my God. Isn't it said that women in the East are as gentle as water? What is this I met? Oh my God, who will save me?"

The people next to me didn't have any sympathy.

"Old Gong, I think if you can't get the canvas out, your God can't save you."

What's going on?

It was Wang Xiuqin who received the task of making new military uniforms using Song Dynasty backpacks produced in Songjiang Prefecture.

But after they actually got the fabric and started working on it, everyone realized that this kind of fabric was still a bit unsatisfactory.

The fabric is very stiff and should not be folded. It will not be so neat when worn on the body.

However, if the number of knitting threads on the back is reduced, the fabric will become loose again, which does not meet the standards of military uniforms.

At this moment, Wang Xiuqin accidentally saw a small piece of Western soft sail canvas produced by the sail factory.

This kind of cloth is of course extremely strong and very flexible, far better than the backing cloth.

Wang Xiuqin immediately fell in love with it and planned to use this fabric to combine with the back to try out the effect of making military uniforms.

However, her request was initially rejected by the director of the sail factory, the priest Consar Lu.

In Kyosaru's words, the production of new warships is being worked overtime without any delay, and there is no time left to do anything else.

However, when Wang Xiuqin pointed the muzzle of a musket at his head, Gong Salu suddenly realized that it might not be the time to be called by God, so he happily chose to follow his heart.

European soft sails are actually the ancestors of later canvas fabrics.

In this era, clothes made of canvas have appeared occasionally, but they are not yet mainstream.

After all, making sails is very expensive, and no one dares to use them for the luxury of making clothes.

When did canvas begin to appear on a large scale as a clothing fabric?

It was the time of the Gold Rush in the American West.

The costumes of the Western cowboys in the movie are basically all canvas.

But what made canvas become a clothing fabric was not the westward expansion, but the emergence of steamships.

As steam engines became the main source of power for ships, sails gradually began to disappear from the stage of history.

Those factories that made a living by making sails began to turn their attention to the field of clothing production in order to find a way to survive.

This change coincided with the westward expansion movement. The demand for canvas in the west, with harsh natural conditions, was huge, and canvas finally found a place in the field of clothing.

Denim clothing, which became popular all over the world in later generations, began to appear little by little.

Wang Xiuqin thought of using canvas to neutralize the hardness of the back fabric to make new military uniforms. It can be said that it coincides with the future trend.

But Wang Xiuqin couldn't care about the fabric for the time being.

At the bustling Jiaozhou Bay Pier, after a ship docked, heavily armed soldiers drove a group of shackled people ashore.

Anyone who sees it knows that these people are criminals.

There is only one reason for being sent here, and that is to participate in glorious development work.

As for whether it is truly glorious in the end, that depends on luck.

But there is one special one among this group of criminals.

a woman.

A young woman.

Although he is a criminal, he does not wear shackles.

No one thought that a female criminal could run away under the custody of soldiers without being shackled.

Once ashore, the other criminals were driven away.

Only this female criminal was left alone on the shore, her eyes confused.

"Are you Tian Xiao'e?"
