I opened a mall in ancient times
Chapter 70 The First Day of Store Opening
"...Give it all to me?" Luo Chaoxi wanted to refuse subconsciously: "This is not good, after all, the factory—"
The factory is not open yet, isn't it too early to say this?
"Of course it's not just about the factory, but also about the things you donated. If you don't want an official position, then you can only compensate you from other places." Wei Taiwei said, "New crops have started to be planted in the capital now. , It is estimated to wait two months to see the effect."
"So fast?" Zhou Jiedu envoy was also surprised, "I thought His Majesty would hesitate for a while before planting."
If it was his, he would be hesitant, after all, he only heard what people said, instead of seeing the real thing like him.
Luo Chaochao also thought that he would wait until the next spring to start planting, but he didn't expect to start planting while it was still summer, and it was obviously not spring yet, did he want to start preparations before the cold weather?
"And the white stacks have also started to be planted."
Sheng country has a vast land and rich resources, and there are many lands suitable for growing things, but there is a tax to open up wasteland, and there is really no need for ordinary people to open too much, and if the family is small, they can't grow it.
It's different now. Now the government is taking the lead in opening up new wasteland. Not only do they not need to pay taxes, but they can also keep half of the wasteland they open up for their own use. These lands are specially used to grow the crops that Luo Chaochao gave them. Well, there are rewards.
With substantial rewards, farmers can really take this matter to heart.
"But the picking period of Baidiezi is around October, and the seeds can't grow now." Luo Chaochao was a little helpless, "I wrote down the time of planting and picking, why didn't I follow the instructions?"
"The people in the household department must give it a try, so they didn't follow the book completely." Taiwei Wei didn't know what the people in the household department thought, but since the things were given to them, let the professional come.
Anyway, I brought back a lot of seeds, and if I fail this year, I can continue planting next year.
Baidiezi is not a rare species that cannot be found, and there are wild Baidiezi in other areas.
Potatoes and corn don't matter. Master Yin brought back a lot of seeds and bodies, enough to eat and grow at the same time.
Seeing that they had already made their own decisions, Luo Chaoxi didn't say much. The emperor was far away, and it was impossible for him to fly directly to the capital to tell them that you don't want to plant them now. If you plant them now, you will definitely die.
"Corn can be rushed." Luo Chaochao thought for a while and said, "According to the climate of the capital, we can catch up with the last wave of harvest before it gets cold."
"I also planted a lot, have you planted them here?"
"Planted."
In fact, they started planting a long time ago, but Luo Chaochao asked Songzhi to go outside to find a lot of seeds for the sake of reason, and it was considered a clear way for these materials.
Others won't say anything after they know about it. After all, everything has already been cleared up, so there's no need for them to say anything.
The fields outside Kangzhou City had planted all the crops sown this season. There was no information gap in Kangzhou City, so when Taiwei Wei came, the seedlings in those fields had grown.
"Can I go take a look?"
"I'll take you to see it when I go to the Textile City in a while. It's growing very well." Zhou Jiedushi said.
Anyway, Luo Chaochao handed in things, how to use them still depends on them.
"I don't know how much the first crop of corn can grow." Wei Taiwei couldn't help but imagine how much the first crop of corn could grow, whether it could be eaten, and whether it was enough for us.
He regrets that potatoes and sweet potatoes cannot be grown now, but it is not a big problem.
The yield of corn is high enough, even if it is not as delicious as other crops, but the yield is large enough, even if it is only half or only one third, it is still an extra ration, allowing more people to live.
And Luo Chao Chao, who provided all this, should also be rewarded.
Everyone knows the contribution of Luo Chaochao. Even the old farmer who has never read a book and digs the soil every day also understands the significance of these things Luo Chaochao brought out.
If Luo Chaoxi is willing to be an official, then the emperor must be very happy to give him an official with a high enough position although he has little real power.
It's a pity that Luo Chaochao didn't want to.
Then they have to have other expressions.
The most straightforward thing is money.
It's a pity that the treasury of Sheng Kingdom is empty now, and there is really no money to give Luo Chaochao, so he can only use real estate to compensate him.
Of course, it is impossible not to give any money, but it is definitely not much.
Emperor Qing discounted it to Luo Chaochao's courtyard and gate according to the market price, and also gave him a five-story building that could be used as a restaurant or inn.
This is still an obvious reward.
In addition to the shops and facades in the capital, arrangements must also be made for Kangzhou City.
What if Luo Chaochao doesn't want to come to the capital to develop?
Aren't the shops given to him last time useless?
This is a gift from the emperor. Not only can it not be sold, it may not even be easy to rent out. Does it look good just here?
"But..." Luo Chaoxi hesitated.
He didn't forget that the emperor had agreed to give him a house in the capital, so he didn't go back on his word, did he?
He was already ready to go to the capital, why did he suddenly change to a house in Kangzhou City?
How can a house in a remote third-tier city be as valuable as a house in the capital?
What's the use of having more shops here?In terms of price, it is not comparable to the house price in the capital, and it may not be able to afford a small courtyard in the capital.
In modern times, you may only be able to buy an apartment of [-] square meters.
Blood loss!
If he didn't know what the emperor planned to give him in advance, he would be very happy to hear that Wei Taiwei planned to give him so many shops and land.
But the problem is that Luo Chaochao knows what the emperor gave him.
It shouldn't be a disadvantage, right?
Luo Chaoxi was uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say it out, his face was calm, but his heart was still bleeding.
How can Kangzhou City be better than the capital city, especially the passenger flow and the quality of the guests, how rich are the people in the capital city!
Opening your own shop in the capital will definitely make a lot of money!
Is it possible that I have to buy a house again after I go to the capital?
Can you afford it yourself?
But Wei Taiwei felt that Luo Chaochao wanted to continue to refuse, not even a reward, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhou Jiedu speak.
"It's only so little." Zhou Jiedu became dissatisfied, "Don't you know the value of the things that Luo Chaochao brought out, there are definitely more than just a few shops, these houses and shops in Kangzhou City are not very valuable. "
He had the same idea as Luo Chao Chao.
Even if there is a reward, it must be money or a shop in the capital, but he said that he would give Luo Chaochao the assets confiscated in Kangzhou City?
How can there be such a good thing!
This was originally planned by the Zhou Jiedu envoy to Luo Chaochao, but Wei Taiwei gave it to Luo Chaochao by borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha.
How dare he say that?
I'm sorry for them if I don't take out more!
Seeing Zhou Jiedu envoy speaking for him, Luo Chaochao simply closed his mouth.
This kind of thing is better to come forward every week.
"I haven't finished yet. Why do you think I came all the way from the capital? How could it be just to give him these few shops? Wouldn't it be better to send someone over here to inform you?" Wei Taiwei said directly went back.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is not bad, otherwise they couldn't directly fight each other in front of outsiders.
Luo Chaochao looked at the two of them, and saw that Wei Taiwei took out a flat and long box from his arms, about as long as a palm, two fingers thick, and a small delicate copper lock on the outside.
"What is this?"
"Title."
Who knew that Zhou Jiedushi was still dissatisfied when he heard these two words. "These shops are all brought back from me. It is impossible for His Majesty not to reward Xiao Luo at all!"
"Good guy, you don't treat Xiao Luo as an outsider at all." Wei Taiwei couldn't help but said, "Give me everything."
"Why do you want to be an outsider? You're not an outsider in the first place. You just came from the capital. I don't know. I'll take you to Kangzhou City for a while. Then you'll know what's going on."
Speaking of this, Taiwei Wei became curious.
"What's the situation in your textile factory? Isn't the textile industry in Kangzhou City very ordinary?"
Zhou Jiedu smiled, "I just want you to watch this, so don't turn your back on it when the time comes."
"Then I want to see what's so great about it."
Wei Taiwei didn't take it seriously.
"Don't take it to heart, now the same fabric, our Kangzhou city is ten times faster than the south!"
"Just kidding?"
"You'll know in a while."
How many people don't care when they know this textile factory, but they will immediately smell it after seeing it.
Including Wei Taiwei who came from the capital.
"This textile factory was created by Xiao Luo. Both the business model and the machines inside are related to Xiao Luo. When you see it, you will know why I have this attitude."
Luo Chaochao didn't say much the whole time. It was Zhou Jiedu who told Taiwei Wei that he succeeded in raising Taiwei Wei's expectations extremely high, but it would not be considered as a bragging of young people. "
Apart from the high-sounding excuse of being for the people of Sheng Kingdom, in fact Zhou Jiedushi also has his own selfish motives.
Do textile mills make money?
Make money of course.
And he can make a lot of money, and he was sent here. This kind of economic growth is actually a political achievement for him, but there are too few channels for information transmission in ancient times, and the power of this textile factory has not yet been spread.
He believes that if he is given another half year, at most it will only take half a year, and the whole Northwest, or the whole North will know that the cloth in Kangzhou City is famous for its fast and good cloth.
If it goes well, it can occupy part of the industry belonging to the south.
"Then you take me to have a look now."
Several people left the yard through the back door, avoided the crowd outside, and rushed to the textile factory outside the city.
Kangzhou City is still discussing what happened today in full swing, but the employees in the textile factory continue to work in an orderly manner. They seem to be unaware of what happened in the city, but they cast their gazes from time to time to prove this. Employees are not as calm as they appear.
Taiwei Wei also saw the factory that Zhou Jiedushi and Luo Chaochao were very proud of.
And the speed and efficiency of the textile machine are astounding.
He finally understood why Zhou Jiedushi would tell him so firmly that he would admit defeat when he saw the textile factory.
Wei Taiwei looked very complicated, and followed Luo Chaochao around every workshop in the factory, and finally returned to the huge textile workshop with two hundred textile machines.
With so many looms working together, the sound was quite noisy, but the little bit of fabric spit out, and the obviously large-scale assembly line industrialization scene, still made him silent.
"...you little guy."
He pondered for a long time, but in the end he only uttered such an exclamation.
If the textile factory is counted, the things he gave are really not enough.
And it is far from enough.
Wei Taiwei felt that His Majesty should come and see for himself, to see how much trouble he had thrown him.
The rewards they gave were not enough for the few things on the Luo Chao tide line. Who would have thought that Luo Chao Chao would give them such a big surprise after coming to Kangzhou City.
Everyone present knew that the business model of the textile factory and this new type of textile machine would definitely be expropriated by the state. The state would not let Luo Chaochao alone control such a good thing, and would push it to the entire country.
And what about Luo Chao, who proposed and implemented all this?
If Luo Chaochao is willing to be an official: the emperor can give him a third-rank official, and even a second-rank official.
Of course, it's the kind that has no real power, but just sounds good.
That may sound like an exaggeration, but it is the truth.
What should he do!
He didn't know how much to give to Luo Chao Chao, and the funds he brought might not be enough.
Advance money by yourself?
He doesn't do things that lose money.
It's not a question of not enough, it's that he doesn't know how to ask His Majesty to raise money for Luo Chaochao.
Why isn't Luo Chao Chao in the capital? !
If it is in the capital, this troublesome job can be thrown back to the emperor.
"If His Majesty needs it, I will send you all the drawings of the textile machine."
"You have a heart."
Luo Chao Chao saluted.
Luo Chaochao can't intervene in the subsequent matters, and the specific contact matters need to be handed over to Zhou Jiedu and Wei Taiwei.
The two of them went to Jiedushi Zhou's office in the factory, and Luo Chaochao took advantage of this time to find the little monsters who had helped him a lot last night.
Luo Chaochao thought they were still running outside with Pine Branch, but he didn't expect them to come back so consciously.
"Xiao Song." Luo Chaochao called the little black leopard who had been in charge of communicating with him.
Seeing Luo Chaochao calling him, the little leopard, who was working hard, quickly withdrew his paws, and walked out slowly, "Boss."
In fact, he doesn't need to be called Luo Chaochao's boss, after all, he is not an employee of Luo Chaochao, he just came here with Song Zhi, and now he is just helping out in the factory.
Ke Luo Chao Chao looked at him with a very kind expression now.
"Thanks to you for what happened last night, otherwise the loss in the factory would be immeasurable."
"It's just a little effort." Xiao Song shook his head, looking a little embarrassed, his face was a little red when he looked at Luo Chaoxi, and he was inexplicably shy, "It happened to happen."
"It doesn't matter whether it's just a coincidence or not. You caught these people for me and prevented the factory from causing losses. That's your credit. Do you have any rewards you want? Money? Lingshi? Or martial arts secrets? I can give you any. "
Xiao Song was stunned when he heard Luo Chaoxi's words, "Is that all?"
"What else do you want? If I can give it to you, I will give it to you." Luo Chaochao was not surprised.
With so many people in the factory, if something goes wrong, Luo Chaochao really doesn't know what to do.
Now that the firefighting facilities are not working, and it's still midnight, if it really catches fire, it will be difficult to put it out, not to mention his own losses, these casualties are enough for Luo Chaoxi to blame himself.
He will give as long as he can.
Only then did Xiao Song realize that he seemed to be asking for something, and quickly shook his head, "No, I'm not asking for something, but I just want to follow Brother Songzhi..."
"You should seek Song Zhi's opinion on this, not mine." Luo Chaoxi said doubtfully, "This is not considered a request, you can also mention other things."
"We adore Boss Songzhi! We want to learn skills from him!" The little leopards had bright eyes, and they were most excited when they mentioned this. "We hope to go outside with Boss Songzhi to see the world and see how big the world is. I hope to see a more exciting world!"
Luo Chaoxi lowered his head and thought for a while before making a decision.
"Then are you willing to be my employees? After signing the contract with me, you can see a lot of interesting scenery, which may exceed your imagination."
"Huh? But... where is Boss Songzhi?" Xiao Song hesitated.
Usually, other people want to sign a contract with him, but this Xiao Song has no interest.
Maybe it's just a turn of events.
"He is also my contracted employee, and he is different from the ordinary people in the store." Luo Chaoxi introduced, "If you agree, come to me at night. Look at Songzhi and Heishan, they are all my contracted staff." Hmmmm
"Then, let's think about it."
The little leopards are actually brothers, they were rescued by Song Zhi together, instead of going back to the tribe, they ran outside with Song Zhi.
Sadness is also a way of life. Although it is different from what they initially expected, it is also another way to experience life.
"Little Luo!" Luo Chaochao was still checking the work situation when Zhou Jiedushi's voice came from outside, "Come out."
Luo Chaochao wiped the ashes from his hands and went out, only to see Wei Taiwei and Zhou Jiedushi had returned to the workshop door: "Let's go, let's go back first and talk about the textile factory."
Luo Chaochao nodded, and went to the office in the factory that belonged to himself and Zhou Jiedushi
This time the destination is Zhou Mansion.
"Frankly speaking, I am very surprised." Taiwei Wei said, "You can always surprise me."
He said this to Luo Chaochao again, "I understand how important this thing is. Would you like to share the blueprint of this loom?"
He knew that Luo Chao Chao would definitely give it to him, so asking now was just a more formal process.
In addition to being Luo Chaochao's elders, he and Zhou Jiedushi are also officials of Sheng Kingdom, so they have to consider for the entire Sheng Kingdom.
The development of textile machines can definitely change the future of Shengguo.
It is best if he is willing to share it free of charge. If he is not willing, the state will buy it with money.
Sure enough, Luo Chaochao nodded.
It can be seen that Luo Chaoxi immediately agreed, Wei Taiwei still couldn't help sighing: "Don't you want to fight for your own interests?"
"I never wanted to use this to make money for the country. It would be great if it could benefit the people."
Wei Taiwei was speechless.
"It's a good boy, a good boy."
He didn't know how many times he sighed today, "Why don't you become an official? It would be great if you were an official."
I always feel that this is something that Luo Chaochao took for nothing, and now he can't produce anything worth giving Luo Chaochao, it's more like a white wolf with empty hands.
Luo Chao didn't care.
He came up with this thing to use it, it's just a matter of time, and now it's just earlier.
As for the reward, he didn't even think about it.
It's best to have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't.
Even if the house in the capital that was supposed to be given to him is gone, he just thinks about it in his heart, and if he really cares, he doesn't care too much.
"With the elders around, I will never suffer." Luo Chaoxi said with a smile.
What he said made Zhou Jiedu smile, probably because he felt that Luo Chaoxi regarded him as his elder and was very happy to attribute him to his own people.
They have the same purpose, and they also have the status of collaborators, and even have the support of their predecessors.
As long as Luo Chaochao doesn't do anything to betray the country, presumably they will always maintain this relationship and become grasshoppers tied together by a rope.
"By the way, if cotton can be mass-produced, the loom can also weave a stronger cloth, which is very tough, has a high load-bearing capacity, and is much lighter than felt cloth. It is also very suitable for workers to wear when doing work. , "Luo Chaoxi said: "But I'm not very good at it, and the workers need to figure it out by themselves."
After several generations of improvement, this kind of loom can do many things, and can also make other kinds of fabrics besides jacquard.
But Luo Chaochao didn't specialize in doing this after all, he could only find operating materials from the Internet, and leave the rest to the locals.
It is impossible for him to do everything by himself, and sometimes he has to trust the local aborigines.
"You can try it. For cotton..." Zhou Jiedu discussed with Wei Taiwei, and then said, "The wasteland near Kangzhou City can be reclaimed and the river water can be brought in."
"Ah, by the way, the two large hydraulic spinning wheels by the river are also ready?" Luo Chaochao suddenly remembered this matter.
"Yes, it's just that it has been done well and has never been used in time."
Because the river level is slow and the power is insufficient, it has not been used since it was built. Luo Chaochao is usually very busy, so he forgot about it.
Now that they were talking about it, Luo Chaochao suddenly remembered that there were still two large hydraulic spinning wheels that were not in use.
"Do you want to use it?"
"That's not true. You can use this kind of water truck to dig ditches and send the water from the river to the fields. This can save a lot of manpower, and you don't have to go back and forth to fetch water."
Luo Chaochao didn't farm, so he really forgot about it.
Water conservancy irrigation can still increase grain production. How much grain is dried up because of lack of water?
"That's okay too?"
"If the power of the hydraulic spinning wheel is insufficient, it can be used to irrigate the farmland." Luo Chaochao nodded, "Now that the capital is built, let's try it."
Captain Wei let out a long breath.
"You're really lucky." Taiwei Wei patted the shoulder of Jiedushi Zhou, "Aside from other things, when you return to the capital after the expiration of your appointment, this official will definitely be promoted again."
"Thanks to Xiao Luo, this is all due to Xiao Luo."
Jiedushi Zhou also knew, so he denied it very modestly, and did not take all the credit for himself.
But everyone can guess.
"Oops!" Taiwei Wei suddenly slapped his head, and handed the flat and long box to Luo Chaochao again, "I was interrupted by Old Zhou Yi just now and forgot to tell you that these are rewards from His Majesty, and they contain the title deed, but It's not from Kangzhou City, it's a house in the capital and a building on a commercial street, and there are 5000 taels of gold, which have been given to you a long time ago, don't think too much about it, textile factories, automatic irrigation canals, and I will reapply to His Majesty for the award of this new type of textile machine, it is definitely more than that."
He gave the box to Luo Chaochao, you sign it now, and it will take effect with our seal.
The things given by the emperor must have been filed long ago, and now it is just an official procedure.
When Luo Chaochao heard about a house and a building facing a commercial street, he almost couldn't control his expression.
"The courtyard was the mansion of King Li back then, and that building is near Xuanwu Street."
this location.
This location is equivalent to a commercial street in the third ring road of the modern capital. He was given a street-facing shop in the most prosperous area, which was still a five-story shop.
Luo Chao Chao decided to take back his previous thoughts.
The emperor is really generous, Wei Taiwei did not take kickbacks.
It's because I think too much.
Luo Chaochao took out the title deed from this small box, and it was indeed what the other party said. In addition to these, there were several title deeds for high-quality fields in the box.
Luo Chaochao signed and pressed his fingerprints.
From now on, these things will all be his.
Luo Chaochao's net worth has skyrocketed, and he walks with trepidation. If he hadn't taken into account that he was still outside, Luo Chaoxi would have killed these deeds!
In the evening, the three of them had a very sumptuous dinner in the Zhou Mansion, and it was not until Luo Chaochao, the treetop on the moon, finally returned to the shop.
Kansai has gone back.
Kansai waited in the store for Luo Chaochao but he didn't come back, so he had to put down a deposit first, and made an appointment to pick up the goods tomorrow before leaving.
Luo Chao Chao was a little embarrassed.
After all, it was his side who delayed for too long. Fortunately, Kansai was not angry. He might have guessed that Luo Chaochao was dealing with the textile factory.
"Boss Guan said that he will go to the warehouse to pick up the goods tomorrow morning." The employee in charge of connecting with Kansai said to Luo Chaochao. "By the way, my master, a master came to you today and said that he wanted to talk to you about the textile factory. After knowing that you didn't come back, he left. This is a greeting card left by him."
Luo Chaochao took it, opened it and took a look.
The visitor's name is... Lu Mingcheng.
Before today, he probably wouldn't feel any problem when he met Luo Chaochao whose surname was Lu.
But today, he just came into contact with Lu Liang and had a feud with him. The other party was from the Lu family, and now suddenly another person surnamed Lu said that he wanted to visit him.
He couldn't stop thinking about it.
Could it be that someone from the Lu family came to make trouble for him?
Luo Chaochao looked at the contents of the letter again.
He only said that he hoped to come to visit someday.
Is it the Lu family?It's only been a day, did the news spread so fast?
Or is it purely a coincidence?
Forget it, it's useless to guess so much now, and it's not certain when we will meet again. Instead of guessing now, it's better to meet when the time comes.
After nine o'clock in the evening, a few little monsters working in the textile factory came to look for him as Luo Chaochao said.
After a few discussions, they decided to sign a contract with Luo Chaochao.
It's just that they don't want to sign a contract with Luo Chaochao like Montenegro and the others, but want to work here like ordinary human employees.
They want to follow Songzhi as traveling merchants.
This was beyond Luo Chao Chao's expectations.
But since that's what they want, let's hire it.
Songzhi himself had no idea about taking a few younger brothers. Anyway, he planned to form a caravan of monsters.
In addition, Luo Chaochao also plans to sign a contract with Hu Xiaohong.
Hu Xiaohong has always been the mainstay of the store. When he is not around, she can handle many chores for herself, and she can take care of herself. She has become one of the spokespersons of Jiushui Supermarket outside.
When hearing that Luo Chaochao planned to sign a long-term contract with him, Hu Xiaohong hesitated for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.
She's not stupid, so she can naturally tell the types of employees in the store.
The closest to Luo Chaochao is naturally Heishan and the others, they even know the secret of the boss, followed by Hu Xiaohong and the others, and then the human employees.
She was also taken to another dimension by Luo Chaochao back then, she was astonished when she was surprised, and scared when she was afraid, but Hu Xiaohong admired Luo Chaochao even more.
Now give her a chance to get close to Luo Chao Chao, how could she not seize it?
It wasn't until she actually signed a contract with Luo Chaoxi that Hu Xiaohong realized what the truth of those things she had been unable to figure out was.
...As expected of the owner.
Hu Xiaohong could only think so.
----------------
Luo Chaochao saw the post newspaper issued from the capital.
This kind of newspaper-like thing is published once a month, and it records the documents issued from the central government, including but not limited to what happened recently, what progress has been made in a certain project, and what oral instructions the emperor has issued.
Basically, they are major events happening in various places. Although they are issued to everyone, after all, there are not many literate people. Only officials and scholars in various cities will read them. The trend of the capital, speculate on the content of the annual exam.
Kangzhou City is too far away from the capital city. Every time I receive a post report, it is a month later. No matter what policy comes, it is too late. This is one of the reasons why the closer to the frontier, the fewer scholars.
The quality of teachers is not enough, coupled with the lack of news, they can't keep up with the enthusiasm for everything, and naturally it is getting worse and worse, a vicious circle.
Originally, this issue of the post newspaper should be like this, but this time it is different. The protagonist of the post post this time is Luo Chaoxi, and the person who sent the post post was specifically instructed to send it to Kangzhou City as soon as possible.
Coincidentally, Yi Bao and Wei Taiwei came to Kangzhou City.
The person who wrote the post newspaper knew what the emperor wanted to read, so he praised him too much. Luo Chaoxi looked at the post newspaper full of rainbow farts and decided to pretend that he didn't know anything.
He saw it all here, not to mention people from other places.
Good thing they don't know their names.
Otherwise, according to the bragging meaning in the post newspaper, he wouldn't have to stay on the earth anymore, and he would just leave overnight.
However, Wei Taiwei and Zhou Jiedushi didn't seem to want to let Luo Chaochao go so easily, so they called Luo Chaochao to the Zhou Mansion, let Luo Chaochao be praised personally, and directly pinned Luo Chaochao's embarrassing feet to the floor in Kangzhou City. Then dig out a textile factory.
He was in a hurry to leave, and was laughed at by Zhou Jiedu and Wei Taiwei for a long time.
The joke is so, but some things still have to be done. Some things that Luo Chaochao didn't want to do were taken over by Zhou Jiedu. Luo Chaochao just needs to continue to develop step by step.
Kansai came to the store early the next morning, bringing the caravan members and the carriage to move things.
It's just that he still didn't see Luo Chaoxi when he came here today. He heard that he went out early in the morning, and he didn't know where he went.
And now the Luo tide is by the river.
Two large hydraulic spinning wheels were built by the river before, but various things happened later, and the two hydraulic spinning wheels were forgotten in a hurry. I mentioned it yesterday, and today Luo Chaochao came to take a look for himself.
A large hydraulic spinning wheel with a height of two floors stands quietly by the river.
The structure of this large hydraulic spinning wheel is very delicate. In addition to the wooden body, there are many organs hidden in the overlaps, which can be slowly rotated by the hydraulic force.
And this kind of hydraulic spinning wheel does not require human hands except for the initial operation, threading, and construction of warp and weft. It can use hydraulic power to make the shuttle move back and forth along the weft with the thread.Even the procedure of manually compacting the weft thread on the pedal-operated textile machine was replaced by an automatic dial.
The only inconvenient thing is that the river here is too gentle and the water power is slightly insufficient, so it needs to be remodeled to use it.
This time when Luo Chaochao came, he brought an order to transform it. There were not many places to be moved, and there were only two machines in total, so there was no need to make major changes to the entire river.
It can also be quickly removed if something goes wrong.
Temporary recruited workers are also paid, and they are also provided with meals. The workers can work at a considerable speed. It is not a big project, and it can be done in two days. It can be put into use.
But here it is, the Kansai team is also planning to set off for the Central Plains.
Kansai originally planned to stay in Connecticut City for about a week, but he decided to leave early after seeing Luochao's textile factory.He only stayed in Kangzhou City for three days. On the morning of the fourth day when he came to Kangzhou City, Kansai and his caravan appeared outside the south gate of Kangzhou City again.
The rest time was a bit short, but thinking of going home quickly, the employees in the caravan cheered up and prepared to set off.
Along with Kansai was Songzhi. Songzhi also brought a lot of things this time, but there were not many people, and there were only a dozen cars outside.
The latitude and longitude of the two groups of people are distinct.
Compared with the mighty caravan with dozens of trucks in Kansai, Songzhi's caravan with only a dozen cars is not enough.
This time, there were not many team members in Songzhi's belt, and the few little monsters working in the textile factory finally got rid of their heavy work, and followed Songzhi's caravan to the mainland again.
Although they said that it would be fine to work in the textile factory, these little monsters were so excited that they stayed up all night when they heard that they could leave the textile factory.
Knowing that Songzhi was planning to go to the Central Plains, Zhou Jiedu envoy asked Songzhi to help deliver things.
It was for my old friends in the capital, as well as the old house of the Zhou family who was still in the capital.
It was also because there was nothing sensitive in the letter, and because he trusted Luo Chaochao, it was handed over to his subordinates.
After taking over the pine branches, they put them into the portable space, and put them together with the mountains of goods in the pine branch space.
"Boss, there's no need to send it off, we're leaving now." Songzhi said, "Go back and do your work."
The factory is not open yet, isn't it too early to say this?
"Of course it's not just about the factory, but also about the things you donated. If you don't want an official position, then you can only compensate you from other places." Wei Taiwei said, "New crops have started to be planted in the capital now. , It is estimated to wait two months to see the effect."
"So fast?" Zhou Jiedu envoy was also surprised, "I thought His Majesty would hesitate for a while before planting."
If it was his, he would be hesitant, after all, he only heard what people said, instead of seeing the real thing like him.
Luo Chaochao also thought that he would wait until the next spring to start planting, but he didn't expect to start planting while it was still summer, and it was obviously not spring yet, did he want to start preparations before the cold weather?
"And the white stacks have also started to be planted."
Sheng country has a vast land and rich resources, and there are many lands suitable for growing things, but there is a tax to open up wasteland, and there is really no need for ordinary people to open too much, and if the family is small, they can't grow it.
It's different now. Now the government is taking the lead in opening up new wasteland. Not only do they not need to pay taxes, but they can also keep half of the wasteland they open up for their own use. These lands are specially used to grow the crops that Luo Chaochao gave them. Well, there are rewards.
With substantial rewards, farmers can really take this matter to heart.
"But the picking period of Baidiezi is around October, and the seeds can't grow now." Luo Chaochao was a little helpless, "I wrote down the time of planting and picking, why didn't I follow the instructions?"
"The people in the household department must give it a try, so they didn't follow the book completely." Taiwei Wei didn't know what the people in the household department thought, but since the things were given to them, let the professional come.
Anyway, I brought back a lot of seeds, and if I fail this year, I can continue planting next year.
Baidiezi is not a rare species that cannot be found, and there are wild Baidiezi in other areas.
Potatoes and corn don't matter. Master Yin brought back a lot of seeds and bodies, enough to eat and grow at the same time.
Seeing that they had already made their own decisions, Luo Chaoxi didn't say much. The emperor was far away, and it was impossible for him to fly directly to the capital to tell them that you don't want to plant them now. If you plant them now, you will definitely die.
"Corn can be rushed." Luo Chaochao thought for a while and said, "According to the climate of the capital, we can catch up with the last wave of harvest before it gets cold."
"I also planted a lot, have you planted them here?"
"Planted."
In fact, they started planting a long time ago, but Luo Chaochao asked Songzhi to go outside to find a lot of seeds for the sake of reason, and it was considered a clear way for these materials.
Others won't say anything after they know about it. After all, everything has already been cleared up, so there's no need for them to say anything.
The fields outside Kangzhou City had planted all the crops sown this season. There was no information gap in Kangzhou City, so when Taiwei Wei came, the seedlings in those fields had grown.
"Can I go take a look?"
"I'll take you to see it when I go to the Textile City in a while. It's growing very well." Zhou Jiedushi said.
Anyway, Luo Chaochao handed in things, how to use them still depends on them.
"I don't know how much the first crop of corn can grow." Wei Taiwei couldn't help but imagine how much the first crop of corn could grow, whether it could be eaten, and whether it was enough for us.
He regrets that potatoes and sweet potatoes cannot be grown now, but it is not a big problem.
The yield of corn is high enough, even if it is not as delicious as other crops, but the yield is large enough, even if it is only half or only one third, it is still an extra ration, allowing more people to live.
And Luo Chao Chao, who provided all this, should also be rewarded.
Everyone knows the contribution of Luo Chaochao. Even the old farmer who has never read a book and digs the soil every day also understands the significance of these things Luo Chaochao brought out.
If Luo Chaoxi is willing to be an official, then the emperor must be very happy to give him an official with a high enough position although he has little real power.
It's a pity that Luo Chaochao didn't want to.
Then they have to have other expressions.
The most straightforward thing is money.
It's a pity that the treasury of Sheng Kingdom is empty now, and there is really no money to give Luo Chaochao, so he can only use real estate to compensate him.
Of course, it is impossible not to give any money, but it is definitely not much.
Emperor Qing discounted it to Luo Chaochao's courtyard and gate according to the market price, and also gave him a five-story building that could be used as a restaurant or inn.
This is still an obvious reward.
In addition to the shops and facades in the capital, arrangements must also be made for Kangzhou City.
What if Luo Chaochao doesn't want to come to the capital to develop?
Aren't the shops given to him last time useless?
This is a gift from the emperor. Not only can it not be sold, it may not even be easy to rent out. Does it look good just here?
"But..." Luo Chaoxi hesitated.
He didn't forget that the emperor had agreed to give him a house in the capital, so he didn't go back on his word, did he?
He was already ready to go to the capital, why did he suddenly change to a house in Kangzhou City?
How can a house in a remote third-tier city be as valuable as a house in the capital?
What's the use of having more shops here?In terms of price, it is not comparable to the house price in the capital, and it may not be able to afford a small courtyard in the capital.
In modern times, you may only be able to buy an apartment of [-] square meters.
Blood loss!
If he didn't know what the emperor planned to give him in advance, he would be very happy to hear that Wei Taiwei planned to give him so many shops and land.
But the problem is that Luo Chaochao knows what the emperor gave him.
It shouldn't be a disadvantage, right?
Luo Chaoxi was uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say it out, his face was calm, but his heart was still bleeding.
How can Kangzhou City be better than the capital city, especially the passenger flow and the quality of the guests, how rich are the people in the capital city!
Opening your own shop in the capital will definitely make a lot of money!
Is it possible that I have to buy a house again after I go to the capital?
Can you afford it yourself?
But Wei Taiwei felt that Luo Chaochao wanted to continue to refuse, not even a reward, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhou Jiedu speak.
"It's only so little." Zhou Jiedu became dissatisfied, "Don't you know the value of the things that Luo Chaochao brought out, there are definitely more than just a few shops, these houses and shops in Kangzhou City are not very valuable. "
He had the same idea as Luo Chao Chao.
Even if there is a reward, it must be money or a shop in the capital, but he said that he would give Luo Chaochao the assets confiscated in Kangzhou City?
How can there be such a good thing!
This was originally planned by the Zhou Jiedu envoy to Luo Chaochao, but Wei Taiwei gave it to Luo Chaochao by borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha.
How dare he say that?
I'm sorry for them if I don't take out more!
Seeing Zhou Jiedu envoy speaking for him, Luo Chaochao simply closed his mouth.
This kind of thing is better to come forward every week.
"I haven't finished yet. Why do you think I came all the way from the capital? How could it be just to give him these few shops? Wouldn't it be better to send someone over here to inform you?" Wei Taiwei said directly went back.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is not bad, otherwise they couldn't directly fight each other in front of outsiders.
Luo Chaochao looked at the two of them, and saw that Wei Taiwei took out a flat and long box from his arms, about as long as a palm, two fingers thick, and a small delicate copper lock on the outside.
"What is this?"
"Title."
Who knew that Zhou Jiedushi was still dissatisfied when he heard these two words. "These shops are all brought back from me. It is impossible for His Majesty not to reward Xiao Luo at all!"
"Good guy, you don't treat Xiao Luo as an outsider at all." Wei Taiwei couldn't help but said, "Give me everything."
"Why do you want to be an outsider? You're not an outsider in the first place. You just came from the capital. I don't know. I'll take you to Kangzhou City for a while. Then you'll know what's going on."
Speaking of this, Taiwei Wei became curious.
"What's the situation in your textile factory? Isn't the textile industry in Kangzhou City very ordinary?"
Zhou Jiedu smiled, "I just want you to watch this, so don't turn your back on it when the time comes."
"Then I want to see what's so great about it."
Wei Taiwei didn't take it seriously.
"Don't take it to heart, now the same fabric, our Kangzhou city is ten times faster than the south!"
"Just kidding?"
"You'll know in a while."
How many people don't care when they know this textile factory, but they will immediately smell it after seeing it.
Including Wei Taiwei who came from the capital.
"This textile factory was created by Xiao Luo. Both the business model and the machines inside are related to Xiao Luo. When you see it, you will know why I have this attitude."
Luo Chaochao didn't say much the whole time. It was Zhou Jiedu who told Taiwei Wei that he succeeded in raising Taiwei Wei's expectations extremely high, but it would not be considered as a bragging of young people. "
Apart from the high-sounding excuse of being for the people of Sheng Kingdom, in fact Zhou Jiedushi also has his own selfish motives.
Do textile mills make money?
Make money of course.
And he can make a lot of money, and he was sent here. This kind of economic growth is actually a political achievement for him, but there are too few channels for information transmission in ancient times, and the power of this textile factory has not yet been spread.
He believes that if he is given another half year, at most it will only take half a year, and the whole Northwest, or the whole North will know that the cloth in Kangzhou City is famous for its fast and good cloth.
If it goes well, it can occupy part of the industry belonging to the south.
"Then you take me to have a look now."
Several people left the yard through the back door, avoided the crowd outside, and rushed to the textile factory outside the city.
Kangzhou City is still discussing what happened today in full swing, but the employees in the textile factory continue to work in an orderly manner. They seem to be unaware of what happened in the city, but they cast their gazes from time to time to prove this. Employees are not as calm as they appear.
Taiwei Wei also saw the factory that Zhou Jiedushi and Luo Chaochao were very proud of.
And the speed and efficiency of the textile machine are astounding.
He finally understood why Zhou Jiedushi would tell him so firmly that he would admit defeat when he saw the textile factory.
Wei Taiwei looked very complicated, and followed Luo Chaochao around every workshop in the factory, and finally returned to the huge textile workshop with two hundred textile machines.
With so many looms working together, the sound was quite noisy, but the little bit of fabric spit out, and the obviously large-scale assembly line industrialization scene, still made him silent.
"...you little guy."
He pondered for a long time, but in the end he only uttered such an exclamation.
If the textile factory is counted, the things he gave are really not enough.
And it is far from enough.
Wei Taiwei felt that His Majesty should come and see for himself, to see how much trouble he had thrown him.
The rewards they gave were not enough for the few things on the Luo Chao tide line. Who would have thought that Luo Chao Chao would give them such a big surprise after coming to Kangzhou City.
Everyone present knew that the business model of the textile factory and this new type of textile machine would definitely be expropriated by the state. The state would not let Luo Chaochao alone control such a good thing, and would push it to the entire country.
And what about Luo Chao, who proposed and implemented all this?
If Luo Chaochao is willing to be an official: the emperor can give him a third-rank official, and even a second-rank official.
Of course, it's the kind that has no real power, but just sounds good.
That may sound like an exaggeration, but it is the truth.
What should he do!
He didn't know how much to give to Luo Chao Chao, and the funds he brought might not be enough.
Advance money by yourself?
He doesn't do things that lose money.
It's not a question of not enough, it's that he doesn't know how to ask His Majesty to raise money for Luo Chaochao.
Why isn't Luo Chao Chao in the capital? !
If it is in the capital, this troublesome job can be thrown back to the emperor.
"If His Majesty needs it, I will send you all the drawings of the textile machine."
"You have a heart."
Luo Chao Chao saluted.
Luo Chaochao can't intervene in the subsequent matters, and the specific contact matters need to be handed over to Zhou Jiedu and Wei Taiwei.
The two of them went to Jiedushi Zhou's office in the factory, and Luo Chaochao took advantage of this time to find the little monsters who had helped him a lot last night.
Luo Chaochao thought they were still running outside with Pine Branch, but he didn't expect them to come back so consciously.
"Xiao Song." Luo Chaochao called the little black leopard who had been in charge of communicating with him.
Seeing Luo Chaochao calling him, the little leopard, who was working hard, quickly withdrew his paws, and walked out slowly, "Boss."
In fact, he doesn't need to be called Luo Chaochao's boss, after all, he is not an employee of Luo Chaochao, he just came here with Song Zhi, and now he is just helping out in the factory.
Ke Luo Chao Chao looked at him with a very kind expression now.
"Thanks to you for what happened last night, otherwise the loss in the factory would be immeasurable."
"It's just a little effort." Xiao Song shook his head, looking a little embarrassed, his face was a little red when he looked at Luo Chaoxi, and he was inexplicably shy, "It happened to happen."
"It doesn't matter whether it's just a coincidence or not. You caught these people for me and prevented the factory from causing losses. That's your credit. Do you have any rewards you want? Money? Lingshi? Or martial arts secrets? I can give you any. "
Xiao Song was stunned when he heard Luo Chaoxi's words, "Is that all?"
"What else do you want? If I can give it to you, I will give it to you." Luo Chaochao was not surprised.
With so many people in the factory, if something goes wrong, Luo Chaochao really doesn't know what to do.
Now that the firefighting facilities are not working, and it's still midnight, if it really catches fire, it will be difficult to put it out, not to mention his own losses, these casualties are enough for Luo Chaoxi to blame himself.
He will give as long as he can.
Only then did Xiao Song realize that he seemed to be asking for something, and quickly shook his head, "No, I'm not asking for something, but I just want to follow Brother Songzhi..."
"You should seek Song Zhi's opinion on this, not mine." Luo Chaoxi said doubtfully, "This is not considered a request, you can also mention other things."
"We adore Boss Songzhi! We want to learn skills from him!" The little leopards had bright eyes, and they were most excited when they mentioned this. "We hope to go outside with Boss Songzhi to see the world and see how big the world is. I hope to see a more exciting world!"
Luo Chaoxi lowered his head and thought for a while before making a decision.
"Then are you willing to be my employees? After signing the contract with me, you can see a lot of interesting scenery, which may exceed your imagination."
"Huh? But... where is Boss Songzhi?" Xiao Song hesitated.
Usually, other people want to sign a contract with him, but this Xiao Song has no interest.
Maybe it's just a turn of events.
"He is also my contracted employee, and he is different from the ordinary people in the store." Luo Chaoxi introduced, "If you agree, come to me at night. Look at Songzhi and Heishan, they are all my contracted staff." Hmmmm
"Then, let's think about it."
The little leopards are actually brothers, they were rescued by Song Zhi together, instead of going back to the tribe, they ran outside with Song Zhi.
Sadness is also a way of life. Although it is different from what they initially expected, it is also another way to experience life.
"Little Luo!" Luo Chaochao was still checking the work situation when Zhou Jiedushi's voice came from outside, "Come out."
Luo Chaochao wiped the ashes from his hands and went out, only to see Wei Taiwei and Zhou Jiedushi had returned to the workshop door: "Let's go, let's go back first and talk about the textile factory."
Luo Chaochao nodded, and went to the office in the factory that belonged to himself and Zhou Jiedushi
This time the destination is Zhou Mansion.
"Frankly speaking, I am very surprised." Taiwei Wei said, "You can always surprise me."
He said this to Luo Chaochao again, "I understand how important this thing is. Would you like to share the blueprint of this loom?"
He knew that Luo Chao Chao would definitely give it to him, so asking now was just a more formal process.
In addition to being Luo Chaochao's elders, he and Zhou Jiedushi are also officials of Sheng Kingdom, so they have to consider for the entire Sheng Kingdom.
The development of textile machines can definitely change the future of Shengguo.
It is best if he is willing to share it free of charge. If he is not willing, the state will buy it with money.
Sure enough, Luo Chaochao nodded.
It can be seen that Luo Chaoxi immediately agreed, Wei Taiwei still couldn't help sighing: "Don't you want to fight for your own interests?"
"I never wanted to use this to make money for the country. It would be great if it could benefit the people."
Wei Taiwei was speechless.
"It's a good boy, a good boy."
He didn't know how many times he sighed today, "Why don't you become an official? It would be great if you were an official."
I always feel that this is something that Luo Chaochao took for nothing, and now he can't produce anything worth giving Luo Chaochao, it's more like a white wolf with empty hands.
Luo Chao didn't care.
He came up with this thing to use it, it's just a matter of time, and now it's just earlier.
As for the reward, he didn't even think about it.
It's best to have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't.
Even if the house in the capital that was supposed to be given to him is gone, he just thinks about it in his heart, and if he really cares, he doesn't care too much.
"With the elders around, I will never suffer." Luo Chaoxi said with a smile.
What he said made Zhou Jiedu smile, probably because he felt that Luo Chaoxi regarded him as his elder and was very happy to attribute him to his own people.
They have the same purpose, and they also have the status of collaborators, and even have the support of their predecessors.
As long as Luo Chaochao doesn't do anything to betray the country, presumably they will always maintain this relationship and become grasshoppers tied together by a rope.
"By the way, if cotton can be mass-produced, the loom can also weave a stronger cloth, which is very tough, has a high load-bearing capacity, and is much lighter than felt cloth. It is also very suitable for workers to wear when doing work. , "Luo Chaoxi said: "But I'm not very good at it, and the workers need to figure it out by themselves."
After several generations of improvement, this kind of loom can do many things, and can also make other kinds of fabrics besides jacquard.
But Luo Chaochao didn't specialize in doing this after all, he could only find operating materials from the Internet, and leave the rest to the locals.
It is impossible for him to do everything by himself, and sometimes he has to trust the local aborigines.
"You can try it. For cotton..." Zhou Jiedu discussed with Wei Taiwei, and then said, "The wasteland near Kangzhou City can be reclaimed and the river water can be brought in."
"Ah, by the way, the two large hydraulic spinning wheels by the river are also ready?" Luo Chaochao suddenly remembered this matter.
"Yes, it's just that it has been done well and has never been used in time."
Because the river level is slow and the power is insufficient, it has not been used since it was built. Luo Chaochao is usually very busy, so he forgot about it.
Now that they were talking about it, Luo Chaochao suddenly remembered that there were still two large hydraulic spinning wheels that were not in use.
"Do you want to use it?"
"That's not true. You can use this kind of water truck to dig ditches and send the water from the river to the fields. This can save a lot of manpower, and you don't have to go back and forth to fetch water."
Luo Chaochao didn't farm, so he really forgot about it.
Water conservancy irrigation can still increase grain production. How much grain is dried up because of lack of water?
"That's okay too?"
"If the power of the hydraulic spinning wheel is insufficient, it can be used to irrigate the farmland." Luo Chaochao nodded, "Now that the capital is built, let's try it."
Captain Wei let out a long breath.
"You're really lucky." Taiwei Wei patted the shoulder of Jiedushi Zhou, "Aside from other things, when you return to the capital after the expiration of your appointment, this official will definitely be promoted again."
"Thanks to Xiao Luo, this is all due to Xiao Luo."
Jiedushi Zhou also knew, so he denied it very modestly, and did not take all the credit for himself.
But everyone can guess.
"Oops!" Taiwei Wei suddenly slapped his head, and handed the flat and long box to Luo Chaochao again, "I was interrupted by Old Zhou Yi just now and forgot to tell you that these are rewards from His Majesty, and they contain the title deed, but It's not from Kangzhou City, it's a house in the capital and a building on a commercial street, and there are 5000 taels of gold, which have been given to you a long time ago, don't think too much about it, textile factories, automatic irrigation canals, and I will reapply to His Majesty for the award of this new type of textile machine, it is definitely more than that."
He gave the box to Luo Chaochao, you sign it now, and it will take effect with our seal.
The things given by the emperor must have been filed long ago, and now it is just an official procedure.
When Luo Chaochao heard about a house and a building facing a commercial street, he almost couldn't control his expression.
"The courtyard was the mansion of King Li back then, and that building is near Xuanwu Street."
this location.
This location is equivalent to a commercial street in the third ring road of the modern capital. He was given a street-facing shop in the most prosperous area, which was still a five-story shop.
Luo Chao Chao decided to take back his previous thoughts.
The emperor is really generous, Wei Taiwei did not take kickbacks.
It's because I think too much.
Luo Chaochao took out the title deed from this small box, and it was indeed what the other party said. In addition to these, there were several title deeds for high-quality fields in the box.
Luo Chaochao signed and pressed his fingerprints.
From now on, these things will all be his.
Luo Chaochao's net worth has skyrocketed, and he walks with trepidation. If he hadn't taken into account that he was still outside, Luo Chaoxi would have killed these deeds!
In the evening, the three of them had a very sumptuous dinner in the Zhou Mansion, and it was not until Luo Chaochao, the treetop on the moon, finally returned to the shop.
Kansai has gone back.
Kansai waited in the store for Luo Chaochao but he didn't come back, so he had to put down a deposit first, and made an appointment to pick up the goods tomorrow before leaving.
Luo Chao Chao was a little embarrassed.
After all, it was his side who delayed for too long. Fortunately, Kansai was not angry. He might have guessed that Luo Chaochao was dealing with the textile factory.
"Boss Guan said that he will go to the warehouse to pick up the goods tomorrow morning." The employee in charge of connecting with Kansai said to Luo Chaochao. "By the way, my master, a master came to you today and said that he wanted to talk to you about the textile factory. After knowing that you didn't come back, he left. This is a greeting card left by him."
Luo Chaochao took it, opened it and took a look.
The visitor's name is... Lu Mingcheng.
Before today, he probably wouldn't feel any problem when he met Luo Chaochao whose surname was Lu.
But today, he just came into contact with Lu Liang and had a feud with him. The other party was from the Lu family, and now suddenly another person surnamed Lu said that he wanted to visit him.
He couldn't stop thinking about it.
Could it be that someone from the Lu family came to make trouble for him?
Luo Chaochao looked at the contents of the letter again.
He only said that he hoped to come to visit someday.
Is it the Lu family?It's only been a day, did the news spread so fast?
Or is it purely a coincidence?
Forget it, it's useless to guess so much now, and it's not certain when we will meet again. Instead of guessing now, it's better to meet when the time comes.
After nine o'clock in the evening, a few little monsters working in the textile factory came to look for him as Luo Chaochao said.
After a few discussions, they decided to sign a contract with Luo Chaochao.
It's just that they don't want to sign a contract with Luo Chaochao like Montenegro and the others, but want to work here like ordinary human employees.
They want to follow Songzhi as traveling merchants.
This was beyond Luo Chao Chao's expectations.
But since that's what they want, let's hire it.
Songzhi himself had no idea about taking a few younger brothers. Anyway, he planned to form a caravan of monsters.
In addition, Luo Chaochao also plans to sign a contract with Hu Xiaohong.
Hu Xiaohong has always been the mainstay of the store. When he is not around, she can handle many chores for herself, and she can take care of herself. She has become one of the spokespersons of Jiushui Supermarket outside.
When hearing that Luo Chaochao planned to sign a long-term contract with him, Hu Xiaohong hesitated for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.
She's not stupid, so she can naturally tell the types of employees in the store.
The closest to Luo Chaochao is naturally Heishan and the others, they even know the secret of the boss, followed by Hu Xiaohong and the others, and then the human employees.
She was also taken to another dimension by Luo Chaochao back then, she was astonished when she was surprised, and scared when she was afraid, but Hu Xiaohong admired Luo Chaochao even more.
Now give her a chance to get close to Luo Chao Chao, how could she not seize it?
It wasn't until she actually signed a contract with Luo Chaoxi that Hu Xiaohong realized what the truth of those things she had been unable to figure out was.
...As expected of the owner.
Hu Xiaohong could only think so.
----------------
Luo Chaochao saw the post newspaper issued from the capital.
This kind of newspaper-like thing is published once a month, and it records the documents issued from the central government, including but not limited to what happened recently, what progress has been made in a certain project, and what oral instructions the emperor has issued.
Basically, they are major events happening in various places. Although they are issued to everyone, after all, there are not many literate people. Only officials and scholars in various cities will read them. The trend of the capital, speculate on the content of the annual exam.
Kangzhou City is too far away from the capital city. Every time I receive a post report, it is a month later. No matter what policy comes, it is too late. This is one of the reasons why the closer to the frontier, the fewer scholars.
The quality of teachers is not enough, coupled with the lack of news, they can't keep up with the enthusiasm for everything, and naturally it is getting worse and worse, a vicious circle.
Originally, this issue of the post newspaper should be like this, but this time it is different. The protagonist of the post post this time is Luo Chaoxi, and the person who sent the post post was specifically instructed to send it to Kangzhou City as soon as possible.
Coincidentally, Yi Bao and Wei Taiwei came to Kangzhou City.
The person who wrote the post newspaper knew what the emperor wanted to read, so he praised him too much. Luo Chaoxi looked at the post newspaper full of rainbow farts and decided to pretend that he didn't know anything.
He saw it all here, not to mention people from other places.
Good thing they don't know their names.
Otherwise, according to the bragging meaning in the post newspaper, he wouldn't have to stay on the earth anymore, and he would just leave overnight.
However, Wei Taiwei and Zhou Jiedushi didn't seem to want to let Luo Chaochao go so easily, so they called Luo Chaochao to the Zhou Mansion, let Luo Chaochao be praised personally, and directly pinned Luo Chaochao's embarrassing feet to the floor in Kangzhou City. Then dig out a textile factory.
He was in a hurry to leave, and was laughed at by Zhou Jiedu and Wei Taiwei for a long time.
The joke is so, but some things still have to be done. Some things that Luo Chaochao didn't want to do were taken over by Zhou Jiedu. Luo Chaochao just needs to continue to develop step by step.
Kansai came to the store early the next morning, bringing the caravan members and the carriage to move things.
It's just that he still didn't see Luo Chaoxi when he came here today. He heard that he went out early in the morning, and he didn't know where he went.
And now the Luo tide is by the river.
Two large hydraulic spinning wheels were built by the river before, but various things happened later, and the two hydraulic spinning wheels were forgotten in a hurry. I mentioned it yesterday, and today Luo Chaochao came to take a look for himself.
A large hydraulic spinning wheel with a height of two floors stands quietly by the river.
The structure of this large hydraulic spinning wheel is very delicate. In addition to the wooden body, there are many organs hidden in the overlaps, which can be slowly rotated by the hydraulic force.
And this kind of hydraulic spinning wheel does not require human hands except for the initial operation, threading, and construction of warp and weft. It can use hydraulic power to make the shuttle move back and forth along the weft with the thread.Even the procedure of manually compacting the weft thread on the pedal-operated textile machine was replaced by an automatic dial.
The only inconvenient thing is that the river here is too gentle and the water power is slightly insufficient, so it needs to be remodeled to use it.
This time when Luo Chaochao came, he brought an order to transform it. There were not many places to be moved, and there were only two machines in total, so there was no need to make major changes to the entire river.
It can also be quickly removed if something goes wrong.
Temporary recruited workers are also paid, and they are also provided with meals. The workers can work at a considerable speed. It is not a big project, and it can be done in two days. It can be put into use.
But here it is, the Kansai team is also planning to set off for the Central Plains.
Kansai originally planned to stay in Connecticut City for about a week, but he decided to leave early after seeing Luochao's textile factory.He only stayed in Kangzhou City for three days. On the morning of the fourth day when he came to Kangzhou City, Kansai and his caravan appeared outside the south gate of Kangzhou City again.
The rest time was a bit short, but thinking of going home quickly, the employees in the caravan cheered up and prepared to set off.
Along with Kansai was Songzhi. Songzhi also brought a lot of things this time, but there were not many people, and there were only a dozen cars outside.
The latitude and longitude of the two groups of people are distinct.
Compared with the mighty caravan with dozens of trucks in Kansai, Songzhi's caravan with only a dozen cars is not enough.
This time, there were not many team members in Songzhi's belt, and the few little monsters working in the textile factory finally got rid of their heavy work, and followed Songzhi's caravan to the mainland again.
Although they said that it would be fine to work in the textile factory, these little monsters were so excited that they stayed up all night when they heard that they could leave the textile factory.
Knowing that Songzhi was planning to go to the Central Plains, Zhou Jiedu envoy asked Songzhi to help deliver things.
It was for my old friends in the capital, as well as the old house of the Zhou family who was still in the capital.
It was also because there was nothing sensitive in the letter, and because he trusted Luo Chaochao, it was handed over to his subordinates.
After taking over the pine branches, they put them into the portable space, and put them together with the mountains of goods in the pine branch space.
"Boss, there's no need to send it off, we're leaving now." Songzhi said, "Go back and do your work."
