1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 332 The goal of the polling office
Wang Qiliang anxiously followed behind Qi Tian and other civil government officials, and accompanied them to inspect the processing process of the quilt factory.

Because, in the next one to two months, Qi Dajiang and other fleets will bring at least 3000 Ming immigrants to Hanzhou and Weiyuan Island (New Guinea Island).At that time, these newly arrived immigrants will not only need food, housing, but also two sets of clothes.Therefore, the civil government issued a special order and the clothing factory required to produce [-] to [-] sets of linen clothes within a month.

As one of the earliest workshops established in Hanzhou, Jianyecheng Clothing Factory already has more than 260 female workers, which can theoretically maintain the clothing needs of all people in Hanzhou.

But in fact, some immigrants who have been divided in the land would rather go to the department store in the county and town to buy a few feet of cloth, and let their wives make clothes when they go home, in order to save a few cents for handwork.Therefore, the buyers of Jianye Clothing Factory are generally military and civilian officials, military officers, and some sailors and soldiers' families.However, these buying groups are far from being able to fill the output demand of the clothing factory.Fortunately, there are a large number of purchases by the civilian government and the military government to make this quilt factory operate at full capacity.

"How much cotton and linen are there in stock now?" Qi Tian turned to ask an official in the Material Reserve Department.

"There are still more than 1 pieces of cotton cloth in stock, and more than 8000 pieces of linen cloth." Said Wang Shangyi, the head of the Material Reserve Department.

"That's all there is?"

"There are only so many reserves in Jianye Mansion. If the purchase control had not been implemented, I am afraid it would have been exhausted." Wang Shangyi said: "After all, we have more than 3 people here, and the needs of the shipyard must be met. .”

"I don't know how many pieces of cotton and linen the immigrant fleet can bring back from Daming." Qi Tian shook his head and couldn't help but smile wryly.It seems that the cotton spinning plan in Weihai must be implemented immediately and further expanded.Otherwise, if there was chaos in Daming and the Dutch blocked it, then the whole Hanzhou would probably have no clothes to wear.

"How many sets of clothes can be made here in a month?" Qi Tian asked.

"Back to the general manager, our quilt factory can make more than [-] sets of clothes a month." Wang Qiliang, the owner of the quilt factory, said: "We follow the assembly line mode promoted by the fortification department to disassemble the various parts of the clothes one by one. Different production teams They are sewn first, and some even entrust housewives to make them, and finally combine them for production.”

"Your model is probably only suitable for producing clothes of the same style." Qi Tian said with a smile.Regardless of style, regardless of height, height, fat or thinness, you only need to wear simple clothes that can meet the body covering.

"What the chief executive said is true." Wang Qiliang said: "The biggest advantage of this production mode is that it can be produced quickly, and it can also save cloth to a certain extent."

"General manager, except for the shipyard, all other workshops in Hanzhou have implemented this flow operation mode, which can not only speed up the production speed, but also make minor adjustments and improvements to certain processes. The entire production process and production method, It has a great promotion effect." Zhang Xingda, director of the Works Department, said.

Qi Tian listened and nodded in approval.Immediately, as if thinking of something, his brows frowned slightly.

"Why can't the shipyard implement flow operations?" Qi Tian asked.

"Those Spanish shipwrights can't promote flow-water operations. They say that the shipbuilding process has been passed down for hundreds of years. They start with assembling a ship from the keel and put it together step by step." Zhang Xingda didn't know much about ship construction, so he said carefully .

"Although shipbuilding cannot be done in an assembly line, it can achieve modular production!" Qi Tian muttered to himself.

I remember that in later generations, ships with tens of thousands of tons seemed to be built using modules.The reuse of design and components can save manufacturing costs; parallel product development and testing can also shorten the design cycle; the use of existing mature modules can greatly shorten the procurement cycle, logistics cycle and manufacturing cycle, thereby speeding up the construction of ships.

The benefits of modular shipbuilding go beyond making ships a little faster.The most important thing about modular shipbuilding is to standardize, generalize and modularize shipbuilding.Standardization not only guarantees the speed of shipbuilding, but also guarantees the maintenance of ships.Because of its consistent standards, generalization and modularization ensure that the ship can be used for multiple purposes, and maintenance and upgrades are guaranteed.

It seems that I have to find some time to communicate with those Spanish shipbuilders, whether they can try to build ships in a modular way in the shipyard.After all, the sailing ships of this era are not as complicated as those of later generations.

Leaving the quilt factory, Qi Tian took several officials from the fortification department to go to the glass field to check the grinding of the convex lens.When passing by a market in the west city, Qi Tian's eyes were attracted by a few men who were obviously not Han Chinese.

Although the men were dressed in the most common clothes in Hanzhou, their heads were wrapped in a white turban, their noses were pointed, and their eye sockets were sunken.As if sensing that someone was observing them, several people looked over with gloomy expressions.It may be that after realizing that Qi Tian and his party were obviously government officials, they immediately lowered their heads.

"Where did they immigrant come from?" Qi Tianchao asked a small captain of a village soldier beside him.

"Boss, I don't know." Deng Shitian glanced at those people, "Maybe they are the Western barbarians gathered from Batavia before."

Westerners?

Qi Tian shook his head, those people were obviously not Europeans, but Ottomans or Persians similar to the Middle East.Out of his natural vigilance against the people of the True God Sect in his previous life, Qi Tian strictly restricted all the natives, Persians and Ottomans on the Nanyang islands as Hanzhou residents.

Looking at the appearance of those few people, it seems that they still maintain the traditional customs of the true gods, and they have not integrated with the ordinary people of Hanzhou, which is even more suspicious.

"Send two people to watch them." Qi Tian said softly, "See who they live with."

"Boss, do you need to notify the police department and polling office?" Deng Shitian was shocked when he saw that the chief executive was so concerned about a few men with "Western" faces. Could it be that the Dutch spies had sneaked in?
"Take a look at their situation first." Qi Tian said.

"Fourth Uncle, the identities of those people have been clarified." Qi Yuanshan, the head of the polling office, said with a complicated expression: "They are all guards brought by Commander Hu from Batavia. There are more than [-] people in total. Ottomans."

"The guards hired by Hu Wenjin in Batavia! These people didn't fire them when they returned to Hanzhou, but brought them back to Hanzhou!" Qi Tian was a little surprised.

As the deputy commander of Hanzhou, and in Jianye City, there are many soldiers and marines guarding him. Why did he take so much trouble to bring back some guards from Batavia, and these guards are all Ottomans.You know, Osman claimed to be the protector of all the people of the True God religion during this period.

I don't know why, every time Hu Wenjin faces Qitian, he always feels that there is some unknown expression in his eyes, even a faint hostility.Qi Tian thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think about when he had offended him. The two of them hadn't even seen each other a few times in the past four years because they were not in the same place.

Perhaps, it's a mismatch in fate.Occasionally, Qi Tian thought of it when he saw Hu Wenjin's meaningful gaze.But after all, he escaped from Dengzhou together with Cao Xiong, and came to this remote continent through untold hardships, and, in Batavia, he was also able to search for people and supplies for Hanzhou with all his heart.Therefore, Qi Tian still maintained due respect and courtesy to Hu Wenjin.

"Those guards seem to be raised by Commander Hu himself, and they are not counted in Hanzhou's expenses." Qi Yuanshan said.He thought Qi Tian was surprised that those Ottoman guards might cost Han Zhou money and food.

Qi Tian glanced at Qi Yuanshan, but said nothing.But he was thinking in his heart, whether Hu Wenjin was accidentally brainwashed by a magic stick of a true god and believed in that more troublesome true god.

"Commander Hu may have earned some money in Batavia before, and in terms of food, drink and enjoyment, he is a bit more luxurious than us." Qi Yuanshan said with a smile: "There are several women in his house, not only There are Han Chinese women, Persian women and Western women."

Oh, Hu Wenjin has been in Batavia for a long time, and he has been corrupted by the prosperity there.There are nearly [-] bachelors in Hanzhou, but he has a lot of wives and concubines, surrounded by jewels and emeralds, which does not conform to Hanzhou's values ​​of hardship and simplicity.

However, these are secondary.The most important thing now is whether Hu Wenjin has been brainwashed by the True God Sect and has converted to the True God.Also, he has privately mastered these twenty-odd Ottoman guards, does he have any other intentions.Besides, why does he always target me?Qi Tian was suddenly wary of Hu Wenjin.

"Yuan Shan, you..." Qi Tian was a little hesitant, if he guessed at others with the heart of a villain, would he be misunderstood and difficult to tolerate.

"Fourth Uncle thinks Commander Hu is a little... wrong?" Qi Yuanshan asked softly.

Qi Tian fixedly looked at this partner who had lived with him for more than four years, and he got along day and night, so he could be said to be the person he trusted the most.

He nodded and asked softly: "The people in the polling office should all be considered reliable."

"In Hanzhou, there are no more reliable people than them." Qi Yuanshan said solemnly: "Most of them are partners who study with you."

"Then arrange a few people to investigate those Ottomans, and don't disturb them. ... By the way, secretly observe Commander Hu's daily behavior."

"Okay." Qi Yuanshan nodded in response.

"This..., this is what I told you in private, don't let others know," Qi Tian instructed.

Qi Yuanshan smiled and said, "I know."

"The people in your polling office, in addition to investigating private spies, you must also pay close attention to soldiers and officials in the military and civilian affairs to prevent people from being bribed and infiltrated." Qi Tian said: "Not only the infiltration of various local forces, but also There are various cults infiltrating. ... The True God Sect and the Maitreya Sect in Daming territory, the White Lotus Sect, etc. are the key targets of investigation."

"Also, check out all kinds of people who are trying to subvert and disrupt the stability of Hanzhou,... everyone!"
