After Wang Jinghui understood the antique-level loom in front of him under the explanation of the old weaver, he vaguely drew a prototype according to the weaving machine and spinning textile tools he had seen in his memory, and then carefully considered the areas that could be improved. As a modern man, one of the advantages of Wang Jinghui over the people of this era is that he received a relatively complete education. Although he could not weave and spin, he relied on the knowledge he learned to perfect the performance of the loom and its auxiliary tools bit by bit.

In the past, Wang Jinghui only knew the terms of ancient textile machines such as carts, treadmills, and pedicles. He did not expect that by slowly improving the textile machines, he actually made them in his own hands. He drew the shapes of the new parts and explained their functions to the weaver. Then the weaver and the carpenter communicated with each other to determine the specific size and made the real thing.

When designing and producing new textile equipment, Wang Jinghui also specially brought the ten students who were interested in physics and asked them to participate in the design of the machinery part so that they could apply what they learned. These ten students are almost seventeen years old and were adopted by Wang Jinghui for two years. He personally taught scientific knowledge for a year. Now their math and physics level are very basic. When participating in the design, although they started to observe and learn, they asked questions and suggestions from time to time, and Wang Jinghui also patiently answered or gave affirmation.

Although the princess of Shu did not know what her husband was doing, it could also be seen that Wang Jinghui attached great importance to this matter. Every day he cooked to cook a few exquisite side dishes for her husband to relieve stress. Once, the princess of Shu still asked what Wang Jinghui was doing. Wang Jinghui hugged her and said, "It is a mechanism for weaving cotton cloth. With it, the people can weave cloth faster and better. Cotton is not silk and hemp. It can be planted anywhere in the Song Dynasty, just like growing food. As a husband and an official, you will benefit the local area. This kind of mechanism will be able to accommodate many people to work, and at that time you can find food for the deposed Xiangjun. The Song Dynasty would also avoid this "redundant soldier" policy one day earlier!"

The princess of Shu looked at Wang Jinghui's slightly tired eyes and couldn't help but brush his angular cheeks with heartache. She said pity: "Husband is great ambition, but you must also cherish your body!"

After more than ten days of tossing and in the side court of the prefecture, Wang Jinghui finally completed the complete improvement of the textile equipment with the help of many people. From seed removal to spinning and weaving, the efficiency of the previous equipment was several times higher than that of the old equipment. Moreover, after weaving, the quality of the cotton cloth woven was also excellent. Since then, Wang Jinghui has finally obtained an intensive industry that can support many labor.

The patience of the wealthy businessmen in Chuzhou had reached their limit. When they heard the invitation from the magistrate, they immediately gathered in the night banquet at the magistrate's office. Just like last time, the meals of this prince-in-law were really not very good, but the hydraulic oil press he took out last time was a perfect money-making machine. Although the days were still short, during this period, they all felt that the 100-month usage fee paid to the Chuzhou finance department every month was very worthwhile. After having the previous experience, although the meal was rather unpalatable, no one was willing to leave.

In front of the hall of the prefectural Prefecture is a mechanism covered with a big red silk cloth. When Wang Jinghui recently called in from outside, he was a weaver and a carpenter. Everyone knew that it might be a weaver. Wang Jinghui uncovered the red silk cloth with hundreds of anxious waiting eyes, and then several people walked forward and began to manipulate the complete set of textile equipment. From cotton seed removal to spinning and weaving, with the close cooperation of several people, with the sound of weaving shuttles, a piece of cotton cloth was weaved out bit by bit.

Few of the merchants present had done cotton cloth business, but they knew that going from cotton to cotton is a very troublesome thing. Cotton cloth is not as expensive as silk. Its cost is officially increased because of its cumbersome weaving, so the profit is very low. No one is here to do this business that may lose money.

An old weaver on the stage was explaining, and the others were cooperating with weaving. After listening to the explanation, the wealthy businessmen in Chuzhou learned that the prince-in-law spent more than half a month to build new textile equipment, which improved many places, so that the overall weaving speed was several times higher than before. The wealthy businessmen were also muttering in their hearts: Looking at the scene in front of them, it was not as slow as the weaving speed. If it was so fast, then weaving would be a good business. We used to weaving at such a slow speed. There were also cotton planting in Songjiang and Fujian and Guangxi areas, but cotton was much better than silk. Chuzhou had land, so it was possible to plant cotton on a large scale or let other areas around it grow cotton. At that time, Chuzhou would just weaving.

Wang Jinghui waited until the demonstration was almost the same before walking to the front desk and said, "Dear friends from the business community in Chuzhou, what you see today is the weaving equipment improved by our official. I believe you can see what kind of benefits you will get if weaving it. I won't say much. The rules of this textile machine are the same as those of the hydraulic oil press a few months ago, but the membership fee has increased to 500 jin per month. Dear bosses, tell me your ideas!"

As soon as Wang Jinghui finished speaking, the wealthy businessmen in Chuzhou in the audience began to discuss each other. The whole hall seemed messy. The officials from all over the Chuzhou who were attending the audience were also very disgusted with this. They all looked impatient on their faces, and they complained in their hearts why Wang Jinghui was in a mess with the merchants. Seeing that the order of the venue was a little scattered, he picked up the wooden hammer that had been prepared by the side and knocked it twice and said: "If you have any questions, please raise them. I will give you a satisfactory answer!"

Several businessmen sitting in the front row exchanged glances with each other, and one of the middle-aged men with a slightly fat body stood up and asked, "My sir, we don't care much about charging a few 'member fees'. After all, the new-style agency made by the adults can make us profitable, and I can't afford this little money. But the villain still wants to ask for on behalf of everyone, what is the use of this membership fee?!"

Wang Jinghui knew this middle-aged man. He was a rich man in Chuzhou, named Liu Hesheng. He was in charge of many industries such as money shops, oil press workshops, pawn shops, etc. Wang Jinghui waved his hand to signal Liu Hesheng to sit down and listen first. Then he said with a smile: "I believe everyone here has heard of it. 'One person gets rich, but everyone in the world is poor. If you have rich, you can't last long; if one person is alone, but everyone in the world is in trouble, how can you not enjoy it for a long time? Isn't this? Actually, take the oil press from a few months ago for example. I am fully capable of working alone. Or handing it over to the Xiangjun, but why does this official still have to put the oil press

Let me share it with you? Chuzhou is rich in rapeseed. How many people in this city of Chuzhou point to oil pressing to make a living? If I eat alone, I am afraid that your oil pressing workshop will go bankrupt. When the people in the place where you hire you will lose their jobs. In the end, it will be the fault of my official! As a parent official in Chuzhou, I am better to bring everyone to make a fortune with you than to become rich, so that you can also expand production. Recruit more people to work and make profits. Chuzhou will also have sufficient taxes because of your business prosperity."

Seeing the group of people below listening very carefully and thinking about his words, Wang Jinghui continued: "Just just now, Boss Liu asked where the land 'member fee' paid by each merchant is used. This question is well raised, and I will give you a brief explanation. It is also so that you can understand where the money you paid is used. Lord Xue, you have an account book there, please tell them!"

Xue Xiangzhi, the magistrate of Chuzhou who was sitting next to him, picked up the account book that had been prepared and walked to the front desk. He opened it and said, "The membership fee for five months has been collected since the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Zizhiping, totaling 62,000 guan. Among them, 38 bridges or new bridges were repaired, which cost more than 36,800 guan. The remaining 26,000 guan was used in Chuzhou, Huaiyin, Baoying, Yancheng, Shanyang, and Jianhu, Chuzhou. He also provided relief to more than 1,200 guan. The remaining 200 guan was the dishes on the dinner table today. The bridges built, the school and the list of the poor scholars who were relief were all in the account books. If you don't believe it, you can follow the map and check it out!"

The magistrate Xue Xiangzhi did not give these businessmen a good face like Wang Jinghui. Compared to Wang Jinghui, he was more despised by scholars in this era. He did not understand why his boss was so polite to them, but for the sake of this account book, he still admired Wang Jinghui's methods very much. Although the Chuzhou Finance Department did not develop with the previous Lord Wu, it was considered stable, but it was absolutely impossible to spend more than 60,000 yuan to do these good things so happily. These are all political achievements and will be of great benefit to his future career.

Although everyone in the audience is rich, they can't help but feel a little chill when they look at the black face of the judge Xue Xiangzhi. The prince next to him smiled and said happily: "'Take it from the people and use it for the people'. This is my consistent opinion in doing things. Everyone is concerned about the money they handed over. This is understandable. I will thank you on behalf of the people of Chuzhou here. With these membership fees, you can do a lot of things that are beneficial to the people. I decided: In the future, everything will be

The members of the Chamber of Commerce established in Chuzhou have the right to ask the government for the whereabouts of their membership fees and expenses. These membership fees can only be used to provide relief to the victims, education, construction of water conservancy bridges and roads and other people's livelihoods. No one can be used for other purposes! You don't have to worry that the officials will change after they leave after they are full. The emperor sent his official pastor to guard Chuzhou in order to implement some new laws in Chuzhou. If they are properly done, they will be promoted nationwide. At that time, Chuzhou's chamber of commerce system will also have the opportunity to be promoted nationwide!"

Looking back on Wang Jinghui's words, the wealthy businessmen below were all in deep thought: "Take it from the people and use it for the people." In the past, these words were just excuses that officials said to fool fools. However, the prince-consort took out the bill today so that everyone knew where their money was used. Obviously, the prince-consort was different from other officials. Knowing that all his money was used to do good things for the people of Chuzhou, they also felt a little accomplished.

When Wang Jinghui said this, he was also urging in his heart: This is the establishment of a national general chamber of commerce! He was too reckless, and this promise was not easy to fulfill, but he still needed to observe the role of this chamber of commerce before talking about it. When the Chuzhou Hydraulic Oil Press Chamber of commerce was established a few months ago, he just wanted to charge fees. In addition, he joined forces with many merchants to jointly monitor its internal operations to prevent the hydraulic oil press from being leaked. But today it seems that the role of this chamber of commerce should be greater. It can not only regulate the relationship between internal members and handle disputes, but also connect different chambers of commerce to become general chambers of commerce.

This was just a brief thought. After Wang Jinghui remembered that he had to develop the functions of the developer, he continued to host the banquet. He wanted to wait for the banquet to finish and think about it carefully. What potential can be tapped? Maybe it was because Wang Jinghui gave a more frank explanation, or because this set of textile equipment was efficient, the wealthy businessmen at the banquet all expressed their intention to introduce such advanced textile equipment for cotton production, and the membership fee of five times higher than that of the oil press. Everyone had no objection and passed it very smoothly.

More than a month later, the scale of the Chuzhou wing army was further compressed, from 20,000 to Chuzhou when Wang Jinghui started to go to Chuzhou. After the postal system exemption law and oil press diversion, 15,000 people were left. After the textile equipment diversion, another 2,000 people were missing. Now the scale of the Chuzhou wing army is only 13,000, and the result of the scale of the wing army was also very satisfied with Wang Jinghui. The wing army, which was eliminated by the 7,000, was nominally named the wing army. But in fact, it has begun to flow into society and support itself. They may

He entered the postal system and served as a servant hired by the government, or entered oil pressing workshops, weaving workshops and equipment manufacturing workshops. Although his income was only one or two more jin of jin in the Xiang army every month, his living conditions had improved a lot. Wang Jinghui calculated based on the annual military salary of the Xiang army of 50 jin, plus logistics and other expenses, Chuzhou alone could save military expenditures as much as 500,000 jin per year. Compared with his father-in-law Yingzong Zhao Shu, he even had to calculate the more candles in the palace. These 500,000 jin is a miracle.

After Wang Jinghui finished the calculation in his heart, he was very proud: he just tried a little in Chuzhou and compressed the 20,000 fang army here by nearly half. When the road construction troops and agricultural reclamation soldiers came out, should we consider reducing the weight of the imperial guards?! After he arrived in Chuzhou, he only took out two things: hydraulic oil presses and weaving machines, which opened up the situation very well. Not only did he divert the fang army, but he also greatly improved the finances of Chuzhou. The two chambers of commerce could provide Chuzhou with nearly 60,000 jin every month, and in a year he earned 700,000 jin for his father-in-law. What's even more terrible is that all this has just been

Start: The postal system has just entered operation, and many functional services that Wang Jinghui had seen before have not yet been realized; although Chuzhou has complete sets of weaving equipment this year, it has missed the time to plant cotton. In order to avoid losses, the Chuzhou Textile Chamber of Commerce has always been relatively close to Songjiang or Fujian-Guangzhou, and it will be very popular. If you plant cotton on a large scale next year or order cotton in other regions in advance, the textile industry will inevitably flourish and can accommodate more "xiangjun weavers". After the two items are superimposed, the economic and social benefits of the Xiangjun will be greatly improved.

However, Wang Jinghui was not confused about this. He would not be greedy for making money. At present, he believes that two emerging industries, such as oil pressing and textiles, are enough as Chuzhou's main industries. As for the layoff of the Xiang army, it does not have to rely on these "high technologies" to complete the land. He pays more attention to improving the unreasonable system based on the current situation. This can also decompose the large-scale layoff of the Xiang army and develop the economy, and lays the foundation for future reforms in other places.

With the implementation of various preferential measures, although Chuzhou is no different from Chuzhou half a year ago, the number of merchants coming and going has increased sharply, and loading and unloading goods at the Chuzhou wharf every day is constantly being loaded and unloaded. It is similar to what Wang Jinghui originally thought. After implementing the "one tax pass system", although two-thirds of the transit tax was reduced from a single merchant, it cannot withstand the number of people. The transit tax has not been reduced but increased. Moreover, when there are more merchants, the local wealthy businessmen in Chuzhou, who have a keen sense of smell, also seized the opportunity to build many inns and restaurants, and Chuzhou's finances have also greatly improved. This also made the worries of the Tongzong Xue Xiangzhi and local officials in other counties who were opposed at the time become redundant, and they admired his computing power.

Farmland water conservancy projects have also begun to gradually exert their effectiveness. As Wang Jinghui took advantage of the slack season in the winter when he took office, he invested huge amounts of manpower to repair almost all river prevention farmland water conservancy in Chuzhou, and completed all the water conservancy projects that have stayed on the drawings for many years. Although there was much less rain this year, the people are still particularly confident about the harvest this year.

The double-season rice that Wang Jinghui tried to plant in a village not far from Chuzhou City looks good, but now it is only a few days earlier in the first season, and it is not the second season that affects the success or failure of the experiment. So Wang Jinghui just instructed the farmers who tried to plant to take care of it.
Chapter completed!
