Yu Min knew that some people were already building cement houses in Yingtian.

If all of Hengyang could build concrete houses, then he, the prefect, would have done a great thing for the people.

In the future, when he dies, he will be recorded in the local chronicles.

Chu Ze raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course."

It just so happens that there is a lot of waste waiting to be done here.

They want to build concrete houses without even bothering to knock down the old ones.

Yu Min suddenly smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He bowed deeply to Chu Ze.

Chu Ze nimbly dodged aside.

"Hey, don't thank us. We just obeyed the emperor's order and came here to help Hengyang rebuild. If you want to thank me, just thank the emperor." Chu Ze would not dare to take such credit.

He already has enough credit.

Now he feels particularly uncomfortable with the name of this prince.

If you want to name a few more good names, it would not be a compliment, it would be a thunder.

Who likes to put a few thunderbolts on their head?

Chu Ze refused very simply.

Yu Min wasn't stupid either. Hearing what Chu Ze said, he roughly guessed the reason.

He immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty is right, we should thank the Emperor for his sage."

This man is on the road.

Chu Ze beamed with joy.

He reached out and patted Yu Min on the shoulder and said, "As expected of Mr. Yu."

"Your Majesty, thank you. Your Majesty, let's go in and take a look inside to see if there is anything else that needs to be added or improved."

Yu Min invited Chu Ze to the factory shed.

Work had not started yet, and there was no one in the factory shed.

Walking all the way, even the footsteps echoed.

Chu Ze frowned slightly, felt disgusted for a moment, and still walked inside.

Actually there isn't much to see here.

The production method of linen has existed since ancient times, and it has not changed much until modern times.

If I had to ask him to propose some changes, he wouldn't be able to do so.

I took this trip just to see if there was anything missing.

Not long after walking, Chu Ze actually let Chu Ze see that something was wrong.

These problems lie in the looms before us.

Looms were very common in ancient times.

Many people have it.

But appearing here is not very appropriate.

"Where's the waist machine? Why are you using a loom? Don't you know that the best machine for weaving summer cloth is the waist machine?" Chu Ze looked at Yu Min in confusion.

Yu Min looked at the master in confusion.

Master: "...What is a waist machine?"

He definitely knows the singer.

Yu Min also turned to look at Chu Ze.

Facing two pairs of eyes full of unknown desire, Chu Ze said: "...Don't you know the power of your waist?"

Isn’t this thing very popular?

Later Song Yingxing also praised this in "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Turns out they didn’t know?

Oh yes, Chu Ze remembered.

Speaking of "Tiangong Kaiwu", Chu Ze thought of a sentence in it: "It is a pity that it has not yet been widely spread."

Song Yingxing lived in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

At that time, waist machines were not widely used, let alone now.

But the waist machine has already been produced.

There should be some now.

But as Song Yingxing said, it was not widely spread.

Then he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of drawing a picture and letting people create it.

"In this case, Mr. Yu, you immediately send someone to Wanzai in western Ganxi. We remember that the linen there was famous in the past. There should be waist looms there. You can ask someone to buy some and invite someone to use the waist loom to weave. The cloth masters, let them teach you how to use the waist machine."

After Chu Ze finished speaking, the master became dissatisfied and said: "Your Majesty, is this necessary?"

Yu Min also felt it was unnecessary. "These looms can also be used for weaving, so why bother with it?" The most important thing is that it costs a lot of money to do this.

But what he lacks most now is money.

Save if you can.

Every extra penny spent made Yu Min feel distressed.

Chu Ze could see the two people's thoughts at a glance.

He glanced at the two of them speechlessly and said: "If you want to make good things, early investment is essential. Besides, if you look at kudzu and ramie alone, only this technique can make the cloth more neat. Jianze. Otherwise, if you think we can survive after eating, we must let you run away like this?"

Since you have to do it, you must do your best.

What's the point of sloshing around with half a bucket of water?

Chu Ze himself disliked it.

When he reached this level, Yu Min couldn't say anything else.

And people still do it for their own sake.

It would be even harder for Yu Min to object.

He immediately ordered his master to send someone to do it quickly.

The waist machine has not yet arrived.

The previous process can begin.

To weave summer cloth, the raw material ramie must first be dried in the sun and then peeled into filaments by hand.

Tie the filaments into longer pieces of muslin.

After it's connected, it's time to paint.

Of course, if necessary, you can also just over-buckle it without coloring.

The next step after buckling is sizing.

After sizing, dry in the sun.

The final step is weaving.

When the previous process is completed, the waist machine will arrive.

Nearly a thousand people work together, and linen is being woven continuously.

Yu Min gave the woven linen cloth to Zuo Chong and asked him to sell it on his behalf and buy back the grain.

In order to get the name of Huangshang, Zuo Chong also worked hard.

These days, he doesn't get even the slightest commission on the things he sells for Hengyang.

As much as he gave him, he would sell it, and he would get back as much food as he sold.

You run away in vain.

Wages still have to be paid.

The money ran away like running water.

He was so distressed that he groaned while lying in bed at night.

Chu Ze, on the other hand, followed Li Xing and the people Yu Min found for him who knew the local hydrology around the polders every day.

In less than a month, the fields released from the polder were hundreds of acres larger than at the beginning.

Part of these fields were distributed to the people, and the rest was given to Yu Min.

Looking at these field deeds, Yu Min was so excited that his hands were shaking.

After waiting for a while, Yu Min turned around and asked Chu Ze: "Your Majesty, do you know how to use these fields?"

Guan Tian has existed since ancient times.

Generally, they are rented out by the government to local people, and then the rent is collected.

But his intuition told Yu Min that Chu Ze gave him these fields not to rent them out.

It has to be said that he was not really right about this.

Chu Ze said: "We want to use these fields as experimental fields. You should know that there is a experimental field in Yingtian, which contains many improved and modified crops. Hengyang has a good geographical environment, and we want to divide those crops into Come here."

Yingtian and Hengyang have different geographical environments.

The crops that first arrived here may not be adapted to the living conditions here.

It was the role of the experimental field that emerged at this time.

New species will be planted and improved in these fields, and then distributed.

If there are no problems with these crops, these experimental fields can also be used for other experiments and species improvement.

Anyway, it won't be empty.

Moreover, it did not occupy the people's fields and affected the people's harvest.

Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone? (End of chapter)
