Film and TV time travel: reselling supplies as soon as the end of the world

"Sir Zhou, please tell me, as long as it is within my ability." Wang Mengqiu said calmly.

Looking at Wang Mengqiu's calm expression, Zhou Yang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with her transformation. Could this be her true appearance?

"It's like this, I need you to build a factory, a textile factory." Zhou Yang thought that it would be better to find something for such a woman to do than to let her stay at home as a vase every day. He also heard that Wang Mengqiu did have a great talent for business in the family. If she could build a textile factory, the Wang family would back her up.

Besides, isn't it just the Spinning Jenny? Tomorrow, I'll ask the Queen to come up with a set of blueprints and have the craftsmen build a dozen of them. Maybe it can start an industrial revolution. There's never a shortage of smart people in this world.

"A textile factory?"

"Yes, just like the cement factory and steel factory I built in the suburbs. I need you to recruit some female workers to build such a factory. How about it? Do you have confidence?"

Wang Mengqiu really didn't expect that Zhou Yang would actually let her run a textile factory. She thought Zhou Yang was also going to send her to some women's military camp. After thinking for a while, she said, "I can try. How much do you want to pay?"

"I will allocate 500,000 taels to you to purchase raw materials. You don't have to worry about the textile machine. I will arrange for someone to make it tomorrow. All you have to do now is to purchase raw materials and find female workers."

"Okay, no problem, but you can't blame me if you lose money."

“Haha, it’s impossible to lose money.”

Wang Mengqiu looked at Zhou Yang's confident smile, blushed, and quickly lowered her head. "Then Mr. Zhou, Mengqiu will take my leave first."

"Well, let's go."

Looking at Wang Mengqiu trotting out with her head down, Zhou Yang suddenly felt as if he had found something else to do. No, I have to go find Xiao Hong right now. I can't let this girl go crazy outside every day.

Zhou Yang went straight to the garrison camp, asked around but couldn't find any trace of Little Red Queen. He had no choice but to run to the female barracks. The people in the female barracks said that Little Red Queen was not there either.

Zhou Yang left the garrison camp in a daze, feeling somewhat confused, and ran to the ironworks, but still failed to find Little Red Queen.

When we arrived at the manufacturing workshop next door, we saw several craftsmen pushing some carriage wheels into the factory.

"What are you doing?"

The craftsmen who were pushing the wheel saw that the person coming was Zhou Yang, and a group of people quickly put down the wheels in their hands, and Zhou Yang saluted.

Zhou Yang waved his hand and asked curiously: "Where are you going to push it?"

"Reporting to Lord Zhou, these are the carriage wheels we made. They were ordered by Queen Xiaohong, but they failed the inspection by Queen Xiaohong." A young craftsman in the lead replied.

"Unqualified? Aren't they all wheels? Why are they unqualified?"

"The Little Red Queen said that these wheels are too narrow and do not conform to the width of carriage wheels. She said that a unified standard should be made."

"So you guys are going to take these..."

"Sir, we sent it to the blast furnace for smelting."

Zhou Yang nodded and looked at these wheels. Although they were narrower than normal carriage wheels, they were much wider than bicycle wheels.

bike!

Yes, you can use these wheels to build a bicycle. It’s troublesome to run around these days. It would be so convenient to ride a bicycle. If this thing can really be mass-produced, it will definitely be a hot seller.

"Wait a moment, take these to the design department. By the way, get me some master craftsmen here." After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he did not go looking for Xiao Honghou and went straight to the design department.

The remaining group of craftsmen could only obey Zhou Yang's words and send all the wheels to the design department. The young man who had just spoken to Zhou Yang had already run to find the craftsman.

When Zhou Yang arrived at the design department, he saw several people standing in the room. Zhou Yang stopped the people who were about to greet him. He was familiar with the people and said directly

"It's great that you're all here. I have something I want you to look at for me. Bring me some paper and pen."

Zhou Yang quickly drew a simple bicycle shape on the paper. Everyone looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand what Zhou Yang drew.

"This is called a bicycle." Zhou Yang picked up the simple blueprint he had drawn and slowly explained it to everyone.

"Sir, this two-wheeled vehicle, can it really be ridden?"

"Old Wang, don't worry about these things. Help me build this bicycle first, and then I'll ride it to show you how it works. Then you should know."

"Sir, your bicycle doesn't look that complicated, except for a few connections that might be a little troublesome."

Zhou Yang suddenly slapped his head, remembering that there was no such thing as welding at this time, and all of them were made of mortise and tenon structures. And the front and rear gears seemed difficult to fix, and he thought, is this sudden idea going to fail?

After thinking about it helplessly, he could only smile bitterly and said, "Just tell me directly, is there any way to make this work?"

Then several people started to discuss, while Zhou Yang waited on the side. At this time, more than a dozen craftsmen came into the room.

Zhou Yang said happily: "You came at the right time. Come and see this thing and see if there is any way to make it."

After a dozen craftsmen bowed, they gathered together and began to discuss. After half an hour of discussion, the group of people finally confirmed that this thing called a bicycle could be made.

Zhou Yang was very excited to finally get the answer he wanted. "Okay, everyone, get moving. If you can build it for me, I'll reward you handsomely."

"Sir, I will live up to your expectations."

"Haha, great! As long as you can make it for me tonight, each of you will get a gene potion."

When everyone heard that Lord Zhou actually rewarded them with genetic medicine, they couldn't help but show excitement on their faces.

Someone immediately issued a military order, vowing to build the bicycle tonight.

So next, the craftsmen started working with hundreds of apprentices, making the skeleton parts of several bicycles. The tires were already ready, so they just had to find some steel bars to install them.

As for this tire, for now we can only surround it with a circle of wood.

Zhou Yang stood in the workshop, looking at the oil lamps lit on each workbench. It was still difficult to see clearly, which made Zhou Yang feel annoyed.

"Damn it, electricity, electricity, electricity, generator, where did this little red queen go and went crazy?" Zhou Yang couldn't help but roar in his heart.

What is Xiaohonghou doing at this time?

At this time, the Little Red Queen was leading 1,500 heavy cavalrymen, running to a place fifty miles away from Lin'an. Fortunately, there were no houses here, only the rumbling sound of horse hooves. The Little Red Queen was riding on Chiyan excitedly and screaming.

Fang Jiantong was sweating profusely at this time. He was tricked by Xiao Hong into coming out under the guise of training, calling it a training march. Who knew that he would run more than 50 kilometers in one go? If the regiment commander knew about this, would he think that he had led his troops to escape?

"Little Red Queen, let's go back! If this matter gets to the captain, I will be in big trouble."

"Old Fang, what are you afraid of? I'm here to support you. You've been staying in the barracks every day. It's not easy to get out for a walk, so you should take a good look around."
