In fact, Langhamzo also felt that Geng Jimao would not give up.

This man inherited the cruel character of his father, and anyone with an enemy would take revenge. Ming Jun humiliated him so much that he almost lost his life. How could Geng Jimao bear this anger?

Moreover, the situation of Geng Jimao is different.

Shang Kexi and his son Shang Zhixin are in the hands of the Ming army, and they will definitely be afraid of the enemy.

But Geng Jimao had no such concern at all. If he let go of his hands and feet, it would at least cause some trouble to the Ming army.

only...

Langhamzo felt that he could not take the initiative to stick to Geng Jimao's cold butt.

It is true that this person has a grudge against the Ming army, and I am afraid he has no good impression of the Qing court now.

If Langzezo rashly gets over in this situation, the effect may not be good.

If you think about it carefully, Shi Lang is the only one who can be reliable now.

I don't know if this is sad or lamentable.

We can only expect the imperial army to go south. At that time, they had the opportunity to turn defeat into victory by attacking the north and south.

...

...

Zhu Youlang in the Forbidden City in Nanjing summoned officials from the Ministry of Works to discuss important matters.

Now there are five or six provinces actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be considered too many, but it is definitely not a small number.

If Zhu Youlang had always focused on fighting before, then there was no problem to focus on the technology tree now.

After all, only when the technology tree is lit up can the Ming army and the Ming Dynasty develop in a more reasonable way.

Zhu Youlang's first focus is on the textile industry.

The handicraft industry in the Ming Dynasty was very developed, and weaving was no problem.

But there is one problem, that is efficiency.

If a batch of production can be produced in the name of the court, it can be made, but it cannot be suppressed by decrees every time, right?

For example, military uniforms.

Zhu Youlang has always wanted to give the Ming army a unified military uniform, which will help distinguish between the enemy and us, and cultivate the sense of identity and honor among the soldiers.

But there is an obvious problem that it is difficult to make clothes for more than 200,000 people in a short period of time.

Even if all the weaving craftsmen in Nanzhili and Zhejiang are added together, it may not be enough.

You should know that this is not as exquisite as weaving dragon robes for the royal family, it requires quantity.

This amount may even scare people.

Of course, as the Ming army expands its army in the future, the number of military uniforms will increase sharply.

The existing weaving technology is definitely not enough to meet the demand.

So Zhu Youlang is preparing to imitate the Jenny machine to solve this problem.

The Jenny Machine is a landmark product of the British Industrial Revolution.

To some extent, the Jenny Machine even represents the Industrial Revolution.

Whether it is the elderly or children, they usually think of Jenny Machine whenever they mention the Industrial Revolution.

It not only greatly improves textile efficiency, but also greatly reduces the cost of weaving.

After all, weaving was done purely manual labor before.

When labor costs are huge, the price will definitely increase.

In this case, if you want to reduce costs, you must introduce competition and improve efficiency.

The latter has more obvious effects.

How to improve efficiency?

The easiest way is naturally the machine.

The fabric woven by Jenny may not be as exquisite as handmade, but it is completely sufficient.

Zhu Youlang didn’t want to use a Jenny machine to make a dragon robe, so there was no such high requirement.

When Zhu Youlang was studying in Europe, he visited a British museum. He was very interested in Jenny Machine and then looked up a lot of information.

Although the entire structure of the Jenny machine may not be able to be replicated, the large frame can still be built. He also remembers the core components in his mind.

Although Zhu Youlang's major was industrial design, he chose sketching because he was very interested in art.

It can be said to be a combination of science and engineering men and literary youths.

This experience was very helpful for him to recreate the Jenny machine.

Zhu Youlang first drew a sketch, then disassembled the key components from a perspective perspective, restoring the Jenny loom to the greatest extent.

Then he used a page of paper to describe in detail how the Jenny machine works, not only the principle also mentions some details.

This is undoubtedly extremely helpful to the Ministry of Works officials.

Although they had never heard of Jenny Machine, after such a passionate explanation from His Majesty the Emperor, they could basically imagine what Jenny Machine looked like.

Of course, you have specialized in your profession.

Jenny and the others would definitely not be able to make it.

They are only responsible for passing on the intentions of His Majesty the Emperor to the craftsmen.

There are countless craftsmen in Nanjing, and it is not difficult to achieve the intention of His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Youlang was very satisfied with the reaction of the Ministry of Works officials.

At first, he was a little worried that these officials would not understand Zhu Youlang's intentions.

But now it seems that these people are very smart.

You shouldn't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients too much.

Judging from the existing resources, it should be only a matter of time before they can make Jenny machines.

Zhu Youlang is not a person who desires perfection.

He also understood that the first time Jenny machine he made would not be as perfect as the sample he saw.

It doesn’t matter, iterate slowly and improve slowly, and one day you will be able to achieve that perfect state.

Zhu Youlang is now looking forward to the popularity of Jenny Machinery.

That means it can not only solve the problem of military uniforms, but also benefit the people to the greatest extent.

Mass production means reducing costs. When the cost is very low, even the poor people can wear new clothes.

Isn’t the so-called prosperous era just to let the people eat and wear clothes?

After the officials of the Ministry of Works retreated, Zhu Youlang began to paint and paint on a piece of paper.

There are many similar things in his mind, and he may not remember them as clear as Jenny's machine, but Zhu Youlang is restoring them as much as possible.

After all, it would be a great help to the Ming Dynasty if I could remember some of it.

Another reason that prompted Zhu Youlang to do his best to build these advanced machines was that he found that he could no longer enter the museum space.

Perhaps it was after he was about to march into Jiangxi after fighting Huguang, his connection with the museum became weaker and weaker.

At the beginning, you can barely enter.

But in the end, no matter how he broke the jade seal, he could no longer enter the museum space.

This is not a good thing, which means that Zhu Youlang cannot directly obtain gun supplies.

He must rely on his industrial knowledge base and existing resources to light up the technology tree as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the Ming army would have no obvious advantage in the subsequent Northern Expedition.

It is not that easy to imitate. Zhu Youlang ordered craftsmen to study flintlock rifles and Prussian cannons during Wuchang.

Craftsmen all said that they could not make it with existing technology.

Zhu Youlang asked the same thing after coming to Nanjing, and the result was naturally the same.

The Jenny Machine is just a pilot and a start, and there are many things waiting for Zhu Youlang to do.
