My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 82 The Loom (Please Subscribe!)

Only see these three blue passives are:
[Blue Passive—Za Zha Nong Machine Loom: When making a wooden loom, the carpentry skill is temporarily increased by 1 level. 】

[Blue Passive - Ink Attack: When making wooden siege equipment, the carpentry skill is temporarily increased by 1 level. 】

[Blue Passive - Wooden Cow and Horse: When making a wooden vehicle, the carpentry skill is temporarily increased by 1 level. 】

These three skills are worthy of being blue skills, and all of them made Su Ze salivate.

The skill level is temporarily increased by 1 level, which is a very powerful passive entry.

Each skill level up provides a huge boost.

Take this carpentry as an example, there are two main aspects of improvement.

One is the improvement of the production level. Carpenter Lv1 can make chopsticks, but the bamboo chopsticks made by Su Ze Lv1 are crooked, and the two chopsticks are not close at all.

But the wooden chopsticks made by Lv4 are already straight and smooth, not bad at all compared to the bamboo chopsticks sold in the county.

Another aspect is that you can get more blueprints by upgrading the level.

Lv1 carpentry can only make simple daily necessities such as tables and chairs, while Lv4 can make complex carpentry such as cabinet furniture.

Now that Su Ze has been upgraded to Lv5, he can already make transmission wooden machinery such as waterwheels, windmills, and spinning wheels.

Su Ze looked at the three blue passives again, and the second one was ruled out first.

Siege machinery is something that requires Lv10 carpenters to make. Not only does it require a lot of time to gain experience, but more importantly, what era is it now?It's already the sixteenth century!Who wants to use wooden siege engines!
There are Hongyi cannons sold in Yuegang, so what's the point of making siege engines with carpentry skills?
Now Su Ze is entangled in the two skills of "Za Zha playing machine" and "Wooden cow and horse".

The loom is a wonderful thing!The Jenny spinning machine is generally considered to be the beginning of the first industrial revolution. The spinning machine equipped with flying shuttles has greatly improved the work efficiency of cotton spinning, which is eight times more efficient than the old spinning wheel!
Moreover, it is easy to buy cotton in Fujian, and with the availability of textile machines, Changningwei will be able to add a big profitable industry.

Before the Ming Dynasty, linen and silk were the main clothing materials in China.

The poor wear hemp, while the rich wear silk. Cotton was widely introduced to the Yangtze River region after Huang Daopo invented the spinning wheel and the process of removing seeds from cotton at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. The rise has a huge relationship.

Cotton is also grown in Fujian. In the Yuan Dynasty, a cotton lifting department was established in Fujian to promote cotton cultivation.

There is also a cotton textile industry in Fujian, but it is not as competitive as Songjiang Prefecture, and only a small amount is circulated in Fujian, and the people call it "homemade cloth".

Moreover, Fujian is close to the sea, so as long as the sea route is unobstructed, it is easy to buy cotton in Fujian.

This is also a period of great development of cotton cloth, and Su Ze still has "chemical" skills. If he can develop dye technology, it will be a big killer for making money.

And the skill of "wooden cow and horse" is also very important.

After being promoted to Lv5, Su Ze already had more blueprints for making ordinary wooden carriages and small fishing boats in his mind, but to participate in the manufacture of 10-material warships like the Changningwei that went to sea for combat, he needed a carpenter at Lv[-].

To make larger warships, carpentry of Lv15 or higher is required.

"Temporary increase of carpentry skills by 1 level" allows Su Ze to participate in the manufacture of 9-material sea ships at Lv14, and allows him to participate in the manufacture of [-]-material ships at Lv[-], which can save a lot of liver experience time!

After much deliberation, Su Ze finally chose the skill "Za Zha playing with the loom".

The reason is naturally very simple. Changningwei itself has shipwrights, and what restricts the development of Changningwei warships is not the lack of technology, but the lack of money and materials.

Today, this [-]-material blessing ship in Changning Weili consumes an astonishing number of materials for maintenance every year. Materials such as sails need to be uniformly allocated by the court.

Moreover, shipbuilding also requires a large amount of dry wood. Even if Su Zekong has the skills of shipbuilding, it would be useless without these materials.

In contrast, things like textile machines are a good way to lead Chang Ningwei to get rich as soon as possible.

"Choose 'Zha Zha Nong Ji Zhu'!"

The blueprint for making the wooden loom came into Su Ze's mind. In fact, the structure of the Jenny loom is not too complicated, and it can be made with the materials that Chang Ningwei has at hand.

[Remaining free points: 2]

Looking at the two free points, Su Ze fell into a tangle again.

In today's turbulent situation, these two attribute points are quite critical.

Su Ze also hesitated whether to continue to add to strength or to add to other attributes.

Forget it, let’s save it temporarily and order it when needed.

After shutting down the system, Su Ze began to think about Changningwei.

It seems that when the bird guns are traded tonight, I will also come forward. Su Ze wants to ask Zhang Haihu and the Japanese pirates if they can get cotton.

The rain in the southern sky came and went quickly, and the wind and rain gradually subsided in the evening, and after dark, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the sparse and clear starlight.

Su Ze and Zhu Qi stood on the temporary pier, with Changningwei's soldiers behind them, and it was time to make an agreement with Haihouer to deliver the goods.

Last time, a lantern was hung on the bow of the boat that sailed and swayed with the waves in the night. The boat gradually approached the shore, and the lantern reflected the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked face of the sea monkey.

Haihou'er and his group of Japanese pirates still think that Zhu Qi is the leader, so he cupped his hands and said to Zhu Qi, "Master Qi!"

Zhu Qi also bowed his hand to return the gift, and the sea monkey said with a playful smile: "Qiye's business is getting bigger and bigger, even selling bird guns!"

After the boat docked, a few strong men from the army stepped onto the boat and removed three baskets from the boat.

The black gun barrel reflected silver light in the night. Su Ze had only seen unearthed cultural relics when he was doing research with his tutor. This was the first time he saw a brand new bird gun.

After moving things to the pier, Su Ze picked up a blunderbuss from the basket.

These bird guns are of different lengths and even models, and it is not known where Zhang Haihu got them.

However, Su Ze is not an official purchaser, and he doesn't care about the origin of this batch of goods. There is no mature factory production process in this era, let alone quality control. Even if the same batch of bird guns is produced, the length may vary One, this is normal.

This bird gun is as long as 1.5 meters, and Su Ze needs both hands to pick it up.

Judging from this length, this batch should be imported goods.

After the Battle of Shuangyu Island, the Ming Dynasty also began to imitate the bird guns by itself, but the bird guns of the Ming Dynasty had shorter barrels, smaller charges, and generally did not have shoulder-to-shoulder stocks.

As for why the blunderbuss of the Ming Dynasty did this, according to Instructor Su Ze, it should be due to the backwardness of the iron smelting process. In order to prevent the bombing, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to make the blunderbuss with a greater dosage.

In order to save materials, naturally there is no need for such a long gun barrel, and because the charge is small, the recoil force is naturally small, so there is no need for a shoulder-to-shoulder stock.

Later, when Qi Jiguang was equipped with bird guns in the Qi family army, he didn't like the bird guns issued by the Daming Firearms Bureau, and preferred the "Japanese guns" and "foreign guns" seized from Japanese pirates.

Even in some places, Tuanlian made his own bird guns, which are of better quality than those made by the imperial court.

The appearance and structure of the blunderbuss are not much different from modern rifles, with wooden shoulder rests, long barrels, front and rear sights, and even a trigger.

However, the current percussive thunder mercury gunpowder has not yet been invented, so the trigger is a slow-burning matchlock. When the match needs to be ignited, once the trigger is pulled, the matchlock will be pressed into the gunpowder mouth. Ignite the powder in the barrel.

When the gunpowder explodes and expands, it will push the lead bullet out of the muzzle, thus hitting the enemy.

From this point of view, Zhang Haihu's price of one tael or two for a bird gun is considered a price of conscience.

Haihou'er glanced at Su Ze, but his eyes were still on Zhu Qi.

"Master Qi, Lord Tiger has put in a lot of effort for the goods this time."

According to what Su Ze taught him, Zhu Qi hurriedly said: "Then you will have to worry more about Master Tiger, and you will have to trouble Master Tiger more in the future!"

But the sea monkey sighed and said: "After finishing your business, we will retreat to the open sea. I don't know when we will see you next time."

Zhu Qi was startled, and quickly asked:

"Why is this? Lord Tiger wants to withdraw from Nanpi Island?"

Nanpi Island is a living island with fresh water. This is a large island that can accommodate thousands of people. Zhang Haihu has been operating on this island for a long time, and even said that he would give up if he gave up.

Hai Hou'er said with a bitter face: "Master Hu doesn't want to give up this foundation either, but Monk Mingshan has gathered troops on the sea to lure real Japanese to attack East Zhejiang again, echoing the rebellion of ancestor Luo Fu in Jiangxi. King Lu is also gathering Soldiers, we are going to invade Fujian again."

After saying this, Haihou'er took a meaningful look at Zhu Qi, and then at Changning Wei Zhengzu behind Zhu Qi.

The soldiers of Changning Guard showed complex expressions of shock, horror, and hatred.

All these were seen by Su Ze, and he looked at Zhu Qi again, only to see Zhu Qi's face pale with disappointment.

Zhu Qi asked tremblingly: "The King Deer is really coming?"

Hai Hou'er also said in a low voice: "It's absolutely true, Captain Haifeng has sent an envoy to inform my Master Hu, is this false?"

Hai Hou'er gave Zhu Qi another meaningful look and said, "Master Qi, you vote for Changning Guard at this time, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Su Ze lowered his head to check the bird gun, while thinking carefully about the conversation between the two.

The owner of Haifeng is the great pirate Wang Zhi who Zhang Haihu and his group have taken refuge in. With Lv5 history playing a role, Monk Mingshan should be another group of great pirates who are opposed to Wang Zhi, that is, Xu Feng, the leader of the predatory faction.

When Xu Feng was poor, he once became a monk and became a monk at sea. Later, he called himself a monk of Mingshan. That King Lu may be the leader of a gang of Japanese pirates under Xu Feng's command.

In other words, Xu Feng's plundering faction pirates want to act, and this King Lu wants to lead troops to plunder Fujian. As a trade faction, Zhang Haihu knows that he can't beat these guys, so he voluntarily gave up his base Nanpi Island and evacuated to the open sea. .

Sure enough, the storm is coming, but Su Ze is thinking about another question, why is the civil unrest in Luofu, Shanxi not recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty?

If Luo Fumin colluded with Xu Feng, a big Japanese pirate, it should be a festering chaos in the southeast, and it stands to reason that there should be records in history.

But Su Ze carefully recalled the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty in his mind, and there was no such record.

But in the 33rd year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates did invade eastern Zhejiang, and once occupied Ningbo and Putuo. The imperial court ordered Yu Dayou to attack Ningbo.

Later, Yu Dayou fought steadily, and it was not easy to stabilize the situation and regain Ningbo.

In this way, Liu Feng did lead Japanese pirates to attack East Zhejiang, but East Zhejiang is connected to Jiangxi. If Luo Fu and Liu Feng really colluded, why is there no record of rebellion in Jiangxi?

Could it be that Luo Fu in Jiangxi was quickly pacified, so he failed to respond to Liu Feng's actions?

After much deliberation, it seems that there is only such a possibility. After all, the current Ming Dynasty still has some vitality, and there are constant party disputes in the court, but there is still order in the court, and the generals and Yu Dayou Qi Jiguang are all famous generals in the world. The Ming Dynasty continued its life.

The trade route established with Zhang Haihu was about to be cut off like this.

And seeing Zhang Haihu's fear of the King Deer, this should be a relatively powerful Japanese pirate in the nearby area.

After Su Ze checked all the bird guns, he said to the sea monkey:
"Qi Ye, these bird guns are fine."

Zhu Qi already looked a little frightened.

The sea monkey secretly looked down upon him, this guy was really just Yan Ding, he was so frightened when he heard the name of King Deer.

Haihou'er glanced at Su Ze again, but it was Zhu Qi, the younger brother, whose expression didn't change much, he seemed to be a talented person.

Zhang Haihu and the others are no longer able to protect themselves, and now that they want to evacuate from Nanpi Island, they no longer need to recruit talents.

Haihou'er felt a little regretful, he had just done a few business deals with Changningwei, and now he was about to evacuate. He didn't know when he would return to Nanpi Island next time, and he didn't know how many of these old customers would be left.

In particular, Changningwei is the most active in fighting Japanese pirates on weekdays, and they are the thorn in the flesh of those predatory Japanese pirates. Maybe this time the Japanese pirates invade the southeast, Changningwei will be wiped out.

Over the years, countless guards have been captured and wiped out by Japanese pirates, including David's Guard with 5000 people, and Changning Guard's one-hundred-household guard.

Su Ze cupped his hands and said to Hai Hou'er, "Master Monkey, how many guns are there?"

Haihou'er looked at Zhu Qi, and he also saw that Su Ze was a man who could make decisions. He said:
"The ones that can be sold to you are up to fifty."

"Are there gunpowder and lead bullets?"

"There are also gunpowder and lead bullets."

200 rounds, an average of [-] rounds per birdie, if you count the loss of practice, this is not enough at all.

However, Su Ze couldn't help being picky, so he immediately said, "Can you sell them all to us?"

Haihou'er thought for a while, he was going to retreat overseas anyway, he might as well sell these bird guns to Zhu Qi and the others.

Su Ze asked again: "If Lord Tiger has any inconvenient goods to handle, our Seventh Lord also wants it."

Now that he was leaving, Hai Hou'er said directly: "The last time Master Qi asked for cochin candy was three hundred catties, and there is also a batch of cotton that was going to be shipped to Songjiang Mansion."
