Chapter 437
Jingli didn't know Chen Yuzhang's plan. She was busy preparing to build a textile factory.

Huang Siniang was indeed a talent. Jingli explained the principles of water conservancy and textiles to her and taught her step by step how to read the drawings.

A few days later, she and Xiao Tan, the father and son of the Tan family, made another copy of the drawings.

"Although the drawings produced by the empress are exquisite, they are not suitable for the characteristics of silk, linen and cotton in our Guanzhong area, and they are driven by water conservancy."

"The women of the country were brave enough to re-improve the spinning wheel based on the characteristics of the existing spinning threads. They have tried it with Master Xiao Tan. This method is more suitable for the characteristics of cotton and linen in Guanzhong. If your Majesty is free, why not go and take a look!"

"Let's go now!" Jing Li is a hard worker. Seeing what Huang Siniang said, she immediately decided to check it out.

In the workshop, a small model of a water conservancy spinning wheel is being simulated.

Huang Siniang not only changed the properties of the spinning wheel, but also improved the shuttle spindle.

At this time, Xiao Su was taking the two girls for a curious test. When he saw Jing Li coming over, he said happily: "Madam, Master Huang is so capable. In this way, this one spinning wheel will be better than dozens or even hundreds of spinning wheels." A female worker, working day and night!"

Huang Siniang smiled very humbly and said: "Guanshi Su is so impressed. It's just the drawings given by the empress, and Master Xiao Tan helped me to modify it together. It's my ability now!"

Jing Li looked at it and found that the production efficiency had been greatly improved. She couldn't help but said with joy: "What Mrs. Su said is true. This credit belongs to Master Huang."

“Of course, Master Xiao Tan’s contribution cannot be underestimated!”

"Dezi, I will reward Master Huang with three hundred pieces of silver and ten pieces of brocade."

"Master Xiao Tan will be rewarded with two hundred pieces of silver and ten bolts of silk. You will arrange this today."

"After the workshop is officially put into production, the two masters will each share the profits earned every quarter."

"How to distribute the dividends, the management of Su University will explain it to the two masters at that time!"

"Empress," before Jingli could finish speaking, Huang Siniang knelt down and said, "I was originally a dying person, but to be saved by the empress and reborn with kindness is already a great blessing. How can I still ask for dividends from the workshop? ?”

"Isn't this a life-threatening disaster?"

Master Xiao Tan also knelt down: "Your Majesty, what Master Huang said is exactly what I think in my heart. The wages you have given me are already enough, not to mention there are many rewards. You must not ask for any more dividends!"

They, father and son, are members of the Tan family, and have always been ignored by the head of the Tan family. They are talented but cannot be reused, and they have always been depressed.

When Jingli posted a notice asking for talents, the father and son seemed to have seen the light of day. Regardless of the ridicule from their family members who said they were willing to serve as women's ministers, they decided to take the exam.

Facts have proved that the father and son made the right bet.

Although the princess is a woman, she has a great tolerance for others.

All the objects created were given blueprints, and the usage of the blueprints was explained without any secret. He also allowed them to study on their own without interfering at all.

This gave Tan and his son great respect, something they had never received before.

A man dies for his confidant. The Tan family father and son don't mind doing things for women at all. They just want to get the respect they deserve, not to hand over their achievements to others and not get even a hint of gratitude.

Now Jingli actually wants to pay dividends, which makes Master Tan, who has always been honest and taciturn, very uneasy and doesn't know how to refuse.

Jing Li smiled and said, "You don't need to be uneasy. As long as someone has real ability, I will not treat him badly!" "Working hard from now on will be the best reward for me and the prince!"

Huang Siniang and Master Xiao Tan were very grateful and secretly determined to do good things and live up to the princess's love.

Seeing that there was no problem in the test, Jing Li said to Xiao Su: "I have a lot of things to do these days, so I won't go into terrain selection. Just take Siniang and Master Xiao Tan to choose!"

“Let me know when you’ve made your choice, and I’ll go over and take a look when you’re back!”

Xiaosu has good management skills and is good at doing ideological work for others. Jingli is very reassured by her.

"By the way, I'm going back to the village in a few days. Little Sister Su, do you want to go back?"

Xiao Su was focused on the small spinning wheel. When she heard this, she said indifferently: "No, it's a critical time for the factory. It's hard for me to leave. Just help me bring a message to Xiao Tao'er!"

"Let her listen to her second aunt and study hard. If she lets me know that she is disobedient, I will not spank her little butt!"

She and Mrs. Qin were in the city, so Xiao Taoer was taken care of by her sister-in-law. This girl had always been a bit naughty. Xiao Su was afraid that her sister-in-law would not be able to control her and would not be able to beat her, so she asked Jingli to take care of her.

The post station at Sanchakou has been excavated, which is just in time to arrange employment for the refugees and reduce the idleness of the unemployed.

When Jingli passed by, Uncle Tiesheng was discussing the construction with two masters. He saw Jingli coming up and said, "Ah Li, this is a good thing. But if you do this, it is estimated that the post station will be built by the Mid-Autumn Festival." Okay, so many people have lost their jobs, how are they going to be resettled?"

"This matter is not urgent. Now is the time for vigorous development. Even if this place is completed, there will still be other work. Uncle, don't worry too much about this!" Jing Li said with a smile.

After building the inn, factories still have to be built in the city. If the world situation continues to collapse, a large number of rich people will inevitably come to seek refuge, and her financial and real estate circles can follow suit.

In ancient times, there were no modern mechanical equipment. All construction relied on manpower, which would require a large amount of personnel investment. There was no need to worry about excess labor and employment difficulties.

She has already made a plan. The population of Chang'an City is now about one hundred thousand. The Zhuque Street to the north was originally the residence of honorable nobles. Later, because of the White Lotus Army's attack on the city, the hungry people in the city took the opportunity to riot, causing many buildings to be damaged.

Next to Zhuque Street is the Wutong Lane area. This area has been neglected for many years and has gradually become deserted. Later, many noble families gradually moved away from Zhuque Street precisely because of the roughness of Wutong Lane.

If Wutong Lane can be cleaned up and Suzaku Street can be re-planned, the feng shui of this area can flow again.

It's just that money is a little tight right now, and she still has to look at the people's livelihood conditions in the areas under the jurisdiction of the crown princes such as Hejian King and Chenliu King. If these people still continue to expropriate and expropriate as usual, then she will build the Suzaku Street, and she is not afraid of it when the time comes. No one comes to buy a house.

After Jingli inspected the construction site at Sanchakou, she rode back to the village.

It was already afternoon when she arrived in the village, and the sun was scorching hot at this time. The drying ground was full of wheat, beans, and dried vegetables, but there was no one in the bright sunshine.

The same was true in the Jing family compound. Except for the sound of children reading aloud, everyone else was on the ground.

This season, the cotton, corn and other crops in the fields are growing very well, but these days there are no weed killers, so they all rely on one hand to take care of them.

Even in such a hot day, they have to go to the fields to tend crops.

The elderly Mrs. Fan was chopping chili sauce at home. The old lady was wearing cloth gloves and she was crying while chopping: "Pear, why are you back?"
