"The people of Wei are really brave." An old man watched the battle throughout the whole process, and at the same time saw countless people hitting the houses, overturning the precious screens, destroying the windows covered with paintings, smashing the exquisite eaves, trampling on the floor of the logs, leaving bloody footprints.

At the same time, there were arrows everywhere, and the entire front yard was ruined, and most of the houses were ruined.

Of course he had to see the end of the whole process, after all, this was the old house of this family.

Despite the blood in his heart, the old man also sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Before this, I always thought that the people of Wei could do business, and raise silkworms and weaving silk. In addition to these things, they are different from the Tang people. The generous and tragic songs of the Han and Tang people, and the promise of dying lightly is different from the Wei people. The people of Wei were too weak... but I think I still read it wrong."

Everyone talked and generally expressed their appreciation for the performance of the dozens of Wei people in front of them.

After all, it was on the territory of the Japanese that they went forward and killed all the envoys of the Tianfang people, which made the Japanese not have to stand in an awkward position.

Although we have to bear the responsibility for ineffective protection, it was the action of the people of Wei after all, and the anger of the people of Tianfang and Pu Xingfeng should vent to the people of Wei and the Marquis of Nan'an.

This is the truth of the Japanese. It’s very simple and you will never make any mistakes.

After everyone expressed their opinions in a mess, Shengda Ouchi said in a deep voice: "Send someone to negotiate with the people of the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion. After that, we will arrange for merchants to cooperate with them and underwrite their cotton cloth and raw silk. The price given is also a market price, which will not be high or low."

"Have the family supervisor considered it clearly?"

"Yes." Shengda Ouchi said: "If the official of the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion did not rush forward with his sword, we have to wait for the subsequent development. Let's take a look, there is no need to hurry. But today this official is raising the sword and replacing the position first. I think I understand what kind of Wei prince of the Nan'an Marquis is, and his future will definitely be limitless. Making some investment in advance will not be the worst result for us, and it is likely to be the opposite."

"The family governor is wise."

This time everyone bowed their heads. After all, what Shengda of Onei was talking about was everyone's thoughts, and everyone's opinions were roughly the same. At that moment, the idea of ​​cooperating with the Nan'an Marquis Mansion was basically fixed.

...

"The envoy of the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion rushed forward with a knife?" Kang Tianqi laughed in silence and shook his head, "I thought they would find a way to compete with the people of Tianfang, but this result was beyond my expectations."

"The Da Nei family will probably cooperate with the Nan'an Marquis Mansion." Kang Maocai had a deep understanding of the Japanese. He said to Kang Tianqi: "What should we do?"

"What do you want?"

"My son also wants to cooperate with the Nan'an Marquis Mansion." Kang Maocai said with a cautious expression, but his tone was firm: "My son feels that Wang Zhi is optimistic about the people, but after knowing the performance of the Nan'an mission this time, I feel that Wang Zhi may still underestimate Nan'an Marquis."

"It's very good, very good." Kang Tianqi was very pleased and said, "If you can say such words, it's not in vain. I can teach you carefully! From the small, you can see what kind of person the lord is. I heard that the Marquis of Nan'an rushed forward in the wars. I didn't believe it before, thinking that someone deliberately beautified him. Now it seems that such things happen often in the Marquis of Nan'an, and they are used to it. If this is the case, we can consider the cooperation with Marquis of Nan'an, now. He will not do the cotton cloth by himself. Raw silk is not our business, and he will increase his share year by year. He will be grateful to us. The rest of the business will be done by Marquis of Nan'an and the Japanese. We will not participate in one or another, and we will not do much trouble."

Kang Maocai said: "It's because the Nan'an Marquis Mansion is too weak. I heard that they ate the Nanyang Navy. There are dozens of ships. There are more than these ships we have stationed in front of the building. The Nan'an Marquis Mansion is buying ships everywhere, and they are learning to build ships. When everything is clear, they can earn millions a year, and most of them are invested in sailors and shipbuilding. Ten years later, they will be on the same scale as ours. Only then did they negotiate an alliance and confrontation."

Kang Maocai said with a gloomy expression: "I'm afraid Pu Xingfeng won't give us so long."

"You can think of that Nan'an Marquis can also think of it." Kang Tianqi said: "A while ago, there were more than 100 large and small ships of Nan'an Marquis Mansion, including more than 100 large ships, Fu Ship, Long Ling Ship, Water Boat, Guangdong Ship, and warships. There are 30 to 40 large warships, four large warships, two Nanyang Navy, two original Chen Yutai, more than ten medium warships, and twenty warships. In fact, their strength is still far from enough, but according to my estimate, they will build their own warships in the past two years and purchase them in various large shipyards. They may also find Wang Zhi to buy warships. Lao Wang Zhi no longer needs so many warships. When he gets old, he is not on his muscles and bones, but on his ambitions. But it is not necessarily true. Wang Zhi still relies on the court. The court dislikes the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. Wang Zhi will not do such a taboo thing..."

Kang Tianqi sighed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper.

Large warships, at least 300 tons, are designed to transport more soldiers to war. Unlike various ships such as Fu Ship, the large warships called Zhongshu are called Tong'an Ship. Tong'an, Fujian is a famous shipbuilding base. Yang'an, Li'an, and Lin'an. Many large shipbuilding families have large shipyards in Tong'an.

Here, a large number of blessed boats and watercrafts, small whistle boats, ordinary fishing boats, etc. are produced every year.

There are also large shipyards in Guangdong, and the ship type is famous for its Guangdong ships.

Jiangling's ship type is called a sand ship, which is suitable for sailing along the coastline and performing canal transportation tasks on the river surface. This was also determined by Jiangling's early status.

Later, Jiangling also began to imitate Guangdong ships and blessed ships, with similar shapes, which was another change caused by the prosperous and developed foreign trade.

Tong'an warships, that is, the central military ships are generally 42 to 45 meters long, which is nearly ten meters long than ordinary lucky ships. They are seven meters wide, while ordinary lucky ships are five meters wide.

Three points and one meter deep, this is determined by the cabin structure of the cabin.

Large lucky ships can reach about seven meters deep. Although their length and width may be similar to those of the central warship, their hull structure is different. The equal lucky ships will have a larger draft and carry a larger load.

Such a middle warship wants to gain the upper hand and fight against the enemy in the sea. The design principle is that although it is large and flexible, its draft is only more than 200 tons and its load capacity is only about 100 tons. A lucky ship, which is smaller than the middle warship, can surpass it in these indicators.

There are battlements and enemy towers at the tail, which can allow soldiers to shoot arrows and fight against the enemy from a high place.

There are watch buckets in the middle masts for archery and looking.

At the tail, middle and front, bed crossbows and eight-ox crossbows were arranged respectively. This kind of naval battle weapon made ordinary pirates frightened.

When the Great Wei Navy was in great strength, it had giant warships over 100 meters long and more than ten meters wide. It is said that this kind of warship was a flat-bottomed sand ship. It was built at the Jiangling Shipyard and had a draft of more than 1,500 tons. One ship was shipped with more than 1,000 people. This kind of flat-bottomed ship generally cannot go to sea, but the Jiangling treasure ship can sail on the sea and winds come from all sides. Moreover, because it is a flat-bottomed ship, it can be carried at the depth and shallow water.

For such a giant ship, each ship carries more than a hundred eight-ox crossbows and bed crossbows, and ordinary pirate ships dare not approach it at all.

Until now, this giant sand ship is considered an exaggerated myth, because by common sense, the giant flatbed will soon capsize at sea.

Some people say it is a strange technique of the ancients, but many people have doubts about this.

The shipbuilding industry has been developing for hundreds of years, but it is not as good as the ancients. This is really hard to accept.

After the development of the Great Wei Hai Trade, Jiangling Shipyard had a considerable period of time to undertake inland river canal transport and coastal canal transport, and was mainly used to produce sand ships.

Suddenly, the treasure ship was cut off from its inheritance, which was really unbelievable.

But later generations still knew that Jiangling once produced a large number of flat-bottomed ships for near-shore combat, which were also quite large warships. They may be fifty or sixty meters long and more than ten meters wide, with enemy towers and a large number of crossbows, which were enough to intimidate all evildoers.

The strength of the Great Wei Navy was not a one-day effort. The large number of warships took great pains to design, but it was really too fast to decline.

Xu Zixian and his Nan'an Marquis Mansion are working hard to restore their former glory.

But Kang Tianqi couldn't be sure how long it was.

Pu Xingfeng will be killed for about two years at most, and once the three Buddhas are destroyed, the waterway will completely fall into the hands of the people of Tianfang.

Everyone will be affected by that time, and normal trade will shrink by more than half.

The purchasing power of Southeast Asian countries and Japan alone cannot support such a huge trading capital now.

Everyone will be seriously affected. Even Kang Tianqi, who is very powerful and has a huge fleet, owns more than 100 warships of more than 100 tons, will still be hit hard.

"I can only wait now." Kang Tianqi finally said: "I hope this time will not be too long."

...

Time soon entered late May.

On May 20th, a series of celebrations were held on the island, and even Changwen Hou Mansion sent some gifts to the island.

The handover with the Japanese was successful, and the cotton cloth, raw silk, tea, salt and sugar were negotiated. The most powerful Daming Daei clan in Japan has confirmed its cooperation with the Nan'an Marquis Mansion.

Even when Fuku No. 1 came back, an old master from the Omeni clan arrived with the boat and went to the other courtyard to visit Xu Zixian.

The old man was quite respectful, wearing a gorgeous and spacious robe and a towering robe.

Of course, this was also something I learned from the Tang Dynasty, but the Japanese made a slight change. Their emperor even wore robes dyed with yellow wood, which of course was also learned from the Tang Dynasty.

The old man wore a high crown and a long robe, and followed suit to Xu Zixian.

The Japanese were full of respect for the kings and princes of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the old Chinese was also very eye-opening about what happened in the East Fan Island.

Xu Zixian was not too deliberate. The Japanese feared power but were not virtuous, and being friendly with them was useless. Only by strengthening their own strength and making sure that their own strength could always suppress them is the best way.

If you can defeat Japan with your strength, Japan will be your best ally. They will put themselves in your shoes and work hard for you, and even kill and injure your subordinates.

The Japanese will also be the best subordinates, loyal, bold, and brave, and can sacrifice everything for the lord.

But the premise is that you are strong. If you are down, depressed, and your strength decreases, then these loyal and good subordinates and the best students can bite you without any scruples.

This is an unfamiliar wolf. When you need it to guard the house, it is best to hold a stick in your hand at any time.

This news made Changwen Hou Mansion feel bad. In the entire island's urban capital, Changwen Hou Mansion did not reach out, but in the cotton trade, Changwen Hou Mansion would make considerable profits.

This is obtained by supporting Xu Zixian in political connections and the hundreds of thousands of chunks of money he invested earlier, including cooperation and help in craftsmen, technicians, and immigration.

If the cotton cloth business has great potential, it will of course be great news for Changwen Hou Mansion, and it will be the best news.

And there are still two months left before the cotton matures, and it's soon.

The development of settlements on the island has not stopped, but it is not as large as that.

More tiles were sent upstream of several streams, where large textile factories would be built within two months.

A large number of hydroloons and spinning opportunities are gradually built and installed. The water flow will drive the bearings, then transfer the spindles of the edge machine, spin the cotton into cotton thread, and then weave it into the set cloth.

The water flows non-stop, and the spinning machine and loom are constantly stopping.

This is water textiles, which Britain started in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, starting with the Jenny Machine.

The principle of the Jenny machine is quite simple. The original textile machine, especially those that are shaken by hand, placed horizontally. If several spindles are placed at the same time and one yarn wheel drives multiple spindles at the same time, the textile efficiency will increase several times at once.

If the machine is enlarged and multi-layer textiles are made, from eight spindles to eighty, it is a pretty simple thing.

This is the Jenny machine, which looks very simple. In fact, from having ideas to successful construction, the original inventor Hargrisf took one day from thinking about this idea to building this machine.

Previously, the principle of Huang Daopo in China was to save manpower rather than improve efficiency. The Jenny machine was the real invention to break the times. Since then, the wool and cotton spinning industries have become the cornerstone of the industry that will affect the next few hundred years.

After the Jenny machine, it is a hydraulic spinning machine. It requires the construction of tall factories and the use of water to drive the loom and spinning machine. The principle is also very simple, and a large number of workers are required to take care of those machines. It is just much more efficient than a loom for each person and the output is much larger.

Xu Zixian never had any doubts about building a factory to build a hydraulic machine.

The principles of this thing are quite simple. Of course, a college student in the history department has studied it. Xu Zixian was able to draw sketches of Jenny Machine and Waterwheel Loom.

Of course, it is impossible to draw the structure of each component, but the general working principle and appearance are similar, or there is almost no deviation.

A group of ordinary craftsmen can make a hydroloon as Xu Zixian ordered, not to mention Fu Qian, a master of miscellaneous and craftsmanship.

The test machine was tested a few months ago and it worked well.

Now we are starting to build factories on a large scale, planning the installation points of machines, and large-scale manufacturing requires detailed and meticulous planning. British factories generally have hundreds of machines and thousands of workers. The textile factories in Dongfan may have more machines and more workers.

After all, this is done with millions of investment from the two marquises. There are hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of strong men in manpower alone. At present, this matter has the greatest investment and the largest expense. Even Li Yi and Kong He bring people to supervise the work near the factory every day. The food, wages, and the cost of purchasing machines and raw materials needed every day, Kong He ordered the payment without any stuttering.

Everyone understands that now there are more than 100,000 mu of cotton fields, millions of kilograms of cotton, and in the future, there are more than one million mu of cotton fields, millions of stones of cotton and millions of cotton cloth.

If it weren't for the grand blueprint planned by Xu Zi first, Changwen Hou Mansion wouldn't have been quickly put on the trap.
