After confirming that Xiangling and Qingwen had enough foundation, Li Anran took the time to go to the modern time and space to find a printing factory to directly print tens of thousands of complete textile processes, including spinning machines, spinning machines, weaving machines and silk weaving machines, and was also a manual with pictures and texts. Then he decisively became a hand-off manager and handed over the teaching matter to these two maids.
The imitation work of a series of equipment such as spinning machines, spinning machines, looms and wire looms was completely handed over to the hands of Carpenter Zhou and others. As for Anran, he returned to modern time and space, and took advantage of the convenience of the trading company to acquire a batch of newly picked new cotton on the market.
With this batch of cotton, the progress of the textile training class is obviously much faster than the theory before. Xiangling and Qingwen, who knew this time were her own chance, learned about textile knowledge very seriously under the guidance of their respective ladies.
Not only did we quickly master the use of a series of equipment such as spinning machines, spinning machines, weaving machines and silk looms, but we also mastered the techniques of silkworm raising, cotton and yarn making.
With these two people working hard and concentration, their level of concentration was enough to make many students in later generations ashamed, and they were naturally very comfortable to apply the training of textile workers. Not long after, the temporary textile training classes began to produce cotton cloth smoothly, which is the white stacked cloth from the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, as the production capacity became more and more proficient in equipment operation and sufficient supply of raw materials, it gradually became large in small quantities at the beginning. Seeing that the cotton cloth produced was not enough to be digested by the villa, under the suggestion of Xiangyun, these cotton cloths were circulated into the fabric market of Datang.
Although there are indeed a lot of cotton cloths that can be produced every day in textile training classes, it is really nothing compared to the consumer markets of Lantian County and Chang'an City. In addition, new textile equipment and technologies have not yet been promoted. These white stacked cloths with delicate texture and excellent quality have not been widely popular with ancient consumers once they were launched, but also sold at a very good price.
In addition to pushing cotton cloth to the market, after giving Li Shimin six tons of grain, Li Anran not only further expanded the planting of various grains, fruits and vegetables on his own territory. At the same time, he also began to purchase crop varieties from all over the Zheng family in Xingyang, which was spread all over the country through commercial banks. He even purchased crop varieties from all over the Tang Dynasty. He even did not let go of medicinal materials, poultry, animals, etc.
As for the series of actions at Xiaoyao Villa, they were still sent to Chang'an City by the guards and secret spies regularly. However, Li Shimin's attitude did not change because of this meeting. Instead, Li Anran was allowed to continue in the village, doing whatever he wanted.
After planting the grains that were originally brought to the upper realm and improved in the royal farm, I was surprised to find that not only grew much faster than before, but also grew much better than before in terms of size and health, I was given two imperial edicts to Xiaoyao Villa.
The content of the first imperial edict was relatively simple. After a series of "nonsense" that ordinary people could not understand, Li Anran was given a title of Chunyang Zhenren, personally certified by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, what surprised those civil and military officials who were informed was that apart from this title, there was no expected title such as the national or heavenly master.
In the second imperial edict, Li Shimin finally gave a substantial reward and directly tied the Taibai Mountain near Xiaoyao Villa to someone's name.
Such a gift looks quite good, but in Li Anran's eyes, the moisture in it is also quite good.
Taibai Mountain looks big, but the terrain of many areas is quite complex, and even if you make a living under your own name, you cannot fully control it. Not to mention that there are still many villages living in Taibai Mountain. You can't drive away others just because the mountain becomes your own or restrict them from entering the mountain.
Not to mention that the Taibai Mountain is not only the common people who live by the mountains, but also some Taoist and Buddhist temples. In the imperial edict, there is no explanation for the content that these guys should be taken away. Therefore, to a certain extent, this seemingly huge reward is not only flashy but also a bad one, but also a hot potato.
The only thing that satisfied Li Anran was that with this reward, I would be much more legitimate in what I wanted to do in Taibai Mountain in the future. As for those existing temples and Taoist temples, I never thought about coming to drive people out for a while. Anyway, I couldn't use that much. As long as these guys didn't take the initiative to come to the door to cause trouble, I just pretended that they couldn't see it.
Just as the textile training class was progressing more and more smoothly during the bumps and bumps, the projects of academies, commercial streets, farmers' markets, and corresponding enrollment and investment promotion work were also in an orderly manner, Li Anran, as the "behind the scenes", focused most of his attention on Yingzhou Island in modern time and space.
The first phase of Yingzhou Island project is not too complicated. In addition to establishing water sources and electricity on the flat terrain No. 2 Island, the two main infrastructures are to build some residential houses, plantations, farmlands, farm farms, marine ranches, construction of docks and small airports.
Although there are a lot of things to do in the first phase of the project, they are actually not a very troublesome project. In addition, there are three engineering teams who divide the work and cooperate, and the corresponding material supply is supplemented in a timely manner with the support of sufficient funds, and the progress of the entire project is very fast.
In Li Anran's original plan, the second island, with a relatively flat terrain, was used as an agricultural base. Once the first phase of the project is successfully completed, as long as the initial stage is maintained, Yingzhou Island can easily enter the stage of self-sufficiency.
After Yingzhou Island can be self-sufficient, it will save a lot of trouble if you want to develop further.
As an outsider, Li Anran only needs to pay attention to the quality and other things. He is not very concerned about the development project of Island No. 2. The reason why he focuses most of his attention on Yingzhou Island in modern time and space is mainly because of some of the benefits he realized after suddenly entering into meditation.
The biggest advantage is that the change in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty will develop its own time-traveling ability. To a certain extent, the more the time and space of the Tang Dynasty is changed, the greater the benefits Li Anran will gain. This benefit is not only limited to the time-traveling ability, but also more unknown levels need to be discovered.
The first thing to be discovered is the benign impact of time and space travel on living things. Putting aside the special situation of Li Anran, those crops that have greatly improved in quality and yield after being brought from modern time and space to Tang Dynasty time and space, and animals that have had huge improvements in quality and yield, and animals including poultry and animals are the best role models.
After bringing new textile technologies and equipment to the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, Anran Li began to further verify the benefits of this benign influence. For example, what is the difference between plants and animals that have only undergone time and space travel once, and plants and animals that have undergone two or n time travel times.
Not to mention, after spending a certain amount of time to conduct classification and comparison experiments, Li Anran obviously found that plants that have only been affected by time and space travel will generally degenerate after a season of growth.
Take the potatoes that shocked Li Shimin and a group of civil and military officials in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty. The first batch of planted yields reached about 200 stones.
In theory, the next generation of potatoes that have been improved through time and space should be better than the previous generation. However, after using this batch of potatoes as seeds and planted into suitable fields, the growth cycle is not too obvious, but the reduction of the yield is at least three points, which has already shown the problem.
Due to time, it is still unknown what changes will be made when potatoes that have only been affected by time and space travel to the third generation. However, judging from the planting results of the second generation, the extension of the growth cycle and the reduction of yield have almost become inevitable.
