The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

After returning, Xia Zoe had no thoughts to pay attention to the thoughts of the Pope, Orville and Archibald, and he became busy.

Because spring plowing is about to begin.

The goal this time is to increase the output of the three new crops of potato, sweet potato and corn on the original basis.

In addition, the three crops of tomato, pepper and cotton will be promoted at the same time.

During this period, Xia Zuoyi also wanted to mass-produce machines-cotton gins, spinning wheels, looms, etc.

This is a way of replacing manual labor with machines.

Not to mention the spinning wheel and the cotton gin, just look at the loom, Xia Zui ordered Reynolds to improve on the original basis, adding many auxiliary tools to facilitate weaving.

For example, spinning pendants, changing manual to pedals, spindles...

The newly built loom is used to process cotton, silk, hemp and other raw materials into cloth, and the spinning speed has been greatly improved.

The loom is used in conjunction with the spinning wheel, saving most of the manual labor.

Although he has returned from the Saint Airo empire, Xia Zoe is always paying attention to the situation of the empire in the recent period.

——Samel Phoebe has no trace, still not found, the wedding is postponed indefinitely.

Throughout the extremely cold winter, the Saint Airo Empire caused a sharp increase in the number of deaths due to the cold invasion, especially in the snowy weather.

Today, the number of people who died has almost been counted.

Even for the Saint Airo Empire, this is a prohibitive number.

Not to mention, the number of deaths due to unrest in various places has not been added yet.

Xia Zuoyi clicked on the letter paper for the report to think-the cold wave is going south, and the Little Ice Age has arrived. The shortest Little Ice Age is about 30 years, and the longest can reach more than 70 years.

This year is just the beginning.

The Little Ice Age not only caused extreme weather, such as the coldest and hottest winters and summers, but also caused substantial reductions in grain production.

Subsequent issues will also lead to a sharp decline in population and social unrest.

It can be said that if various measures and actions are not taken to deal with difficult times in time for many years to come, the problems caused by the Little Ice Age will be difficult to solve and survive safely...

Prepare now, but for the future.

…………

As the winter just ended, before going to the Saint Airo Empire, Xia Zuoyin asked Renault to lead the engineers of the Artisan Guild, and ordinary craftsmen to establish a factory to produce machinery and equipment in Wessas and Fort Comoy.

-Manufacture parts for cotton gins, spinning wheels and other machines in batches, and then assemble them.

After all, he had previously ordered Renault to develop a machine for cotton, but there was only one trial.

Each trial machine that was produced first was left in the castle for use, and it may be passed on in the future, becoming the first precious antiquities to appear on the Western Continent.

Just like Sinan and seismographs that appeared in ancient China.

Now, these things belong to Xia Zoe.

The mass-manufacturing machine production factories are very well built, and the sites are selected to be built on the west and east of the city of Weissas and Fort Comoy.

Many workers are recruited from other places.

Xia Zuoyi asked the factory to build dormitories for employees. After paying a certain fee, they would include food and housing. Compared with renting a house outside, the price is very cheap.

More importantly, the food in the factory is also very good.

On this day, Xia Zoe brought Udit, Reynolds and others to the factory in Wissas to check the manufacturing progress.

There was no advance notice at all, so that everyone panicked for a moment after entering the factory.

"Lord Lord." The manager of the factory hurried over to salute.

The rest of the workers also stood up from the workbench, bewildered or excited, waited aside, and looked at the lord.

Xia Zuoyi nodded, and said to the steward: "You let them continue to work normally, don't care about me, I just take a look."

The environment in the factory is good, at least there is no obvious mess.

When the steward heard the words, he immediately turned around and shouted at the workers who were looking at them: "All work well! Don't look around, go back to your own position..."

All the workers returned to their original positions without hesitation.

The noise of the production machine parts suddenly started to sound again.

The machine parts here are still in the manual manufacturing stage, a small amount of iron raw materials are fused and the rest is made of wood...a streamlined production line, and finally sorted and assembled.

This way can greatly improve efficiency.

However, although cotton gins, spinning wheels, and looms can be produced quickly, how to use a machine is also a problem.

Especially the working principle of the loom, if you don’t have someone to teach you, it’s difficult to understand it by yourself...After all, the loom is not like a cotton gin and a spinning wheel.

This means that when one thing is produced, one, two... and other things related to it will also be improved or manufactured...

After a certain number of looms have been manufactured, a learning class will be opened.

Xia Zoe walked slowly around the factory with his hands behind his back, thinking about what to do next.

Weaving is a matter that can be worked collectively or individually.

And this matter is generally done by women, whether it is the fineness of the weaving or the pattern, etc., the women are more careful and good at it.

What's more, under the influence of successive disasters, many families are struggling to make ends meet and livelihood difficulties.

In the past, it was easier for men to find money-making jobs than women. Women were weak and could not do heavy work.

For other easier jobs, if you want to choose between men and women, most of them also choose men.

In this era, women are more or less discriminated against.

After all, not to mention women who are civilians or slaves, even the daughters of some nobles will be married as gifts of fair or unfair trade.

But once spinning wheels and looms appear on the market in large quantities, the situation that men account for more than 90% of work will be broken.

Women can also have a stable income to make ends meet.

In this way, production generates money and can also change the difficult life of the family.

It can be seen that productivity promotes economic development.

Being smaller can change the living conditions, and further, it can maintain or promote the financial situation in the Desinian territory during the Little Ice Age.

At the lowest standard, Xia Zoe does not want turmoil in the territory.

Economics, medicine, food, and culture, etc.-Shazoe does not think he has successfully developed Desinian territory.

At the very least, due to the many restrictions in this era, it can only develop slowly at this stage, and every field is in the initial stage of being explored.

Xia Zoe was lost in thought, not paying much attention to wherever he went, the people working around couldn't help becoming nervous.

Until a worker hurriedly took out the finished parts, but accidentally dropped the parts to the ground.

The part gruntly rolled to Xia Zoe's feet, and was stepped on by him.

Sha Zoe recovered, bent over to pick up the parts and blew the dust on them, and then returned them to the worker who stood up in a panic.

"How many parts like this can be produced in a day?"

"My lord, I can produce dozens of pieces a day by myself, and I haven't counted them in detail..." The worker didn't expect that Xia Zuoyi would ask questions suddenly, and he stubbornly replied.

He is dark-skinned, honest-looking, and thinner. He looks like a poor man.

In fact, it is true.

Because the Thorns Chamber of Commerce posted recruitment information everywhere, he came from a nearby city and wanted to work in the factory in Fort Como, but Fort Como was full.

No way, he came to Wissas with hope. Fortunately, the factory in Wissas still needs manpower.

People in the Desinian territory know that as long as it is a shop or workshop opened by the Lord Lord, the general treatment will not be bad, and the most important thing is that there will be gifts on festivals.

And employees who work in it will be rewarded as long as they do well.

At the end of the year, an annual meeting will be held to send money or item rewards to the best selected employees.

Such a system has been implemented in the early years.

But unfortunately, because of the good treatment, the shops or workshops opened by the lord are very difficult to enter, especially the most profitable thorns chamber of commerce.

He also made up his mind to come here from the city where he lives. He left his wife, son, and daughter, and he doesn't know when he can go back...

But making money is the most reassuring, otherwise how to feed the family.

Xia Zuoyi nodded and smiled: "Then do you know what these machines are used for?"

The worker shook his head, his face was full of doubts, even the housekeepers in the factory were actually puzzled.

The same is true for the others.

Xia Zuoyi said: "This batch of machines will be very useful. It is related to your life. I know that many of you are from other cities and leave your hometown to make money."

"I can promise you that after the first batch of machines are produced, you can write to ask your wife to come to Wessas or Fort Comoy. The factory will prepare dormitories, and your wives will also be arranged. Workmanship, etc."

The learning of spinning wheel and weaving machine starts from inside the factory.

As soon as Xia Zoe finished speaking, people in the factory began to discuss it in disbelief or excitement.

"Lord, Lord, is this true?" someone asked tremblingly.

Xia Zuoyi gave a definite answer, which is true.

The workers got excited instantly, and they all thanked the lord and praised the lord’s kindness...

After that, Xia Zuoy went to the canteen and dormitory where he ate again, and made sure that no one was filling his pockets. He detained the workers' meals before returning to Palshan.

On the next day, Xia Zoe went to the Alchemy Tower in Wissas.

Adai Ben used to be his alchemy assistant. Later, Xia Zuoy felt that his time for alchemy was getting less and less, so after asking Adai's opinion, he also entered the alchemy tower.

Today, Yadai has also become an alchemist.

Currently, he is working with Chebman on a very important experiment.

The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Can't provoke it, can't I still not be able to hide it.

Pope: But there is no need to hide with me, poor. jpg.

Grand Duke: It's okay, you are busy, I will help you take care of the fluffy.

Archie: Ha ha.
