On the second day, our princess was very happy in her work. Some Mongolians had already sent 100 catties of wool over, and Yang Shanlu immediately began to experiment.
Yang Shanlu was able to make woolen sweaters that were not available in this era because he knew some advanced spinning machine technology, similar to the 18th century Jenny machines.
So after finding a dozen carpenters, according to Yang Shanlu's instructions, a weird-looking spinning machine was built.
After waiting for some of the women who were recruited to perform some procedures, such as dividing wool, scouring wool, and slinging wool... Then after some operations on the spinning machine, the first woolen sweater of the Ming Dynasty was made.
After Yang Shanlu tried it on, it felt very good... Not only is it light and warm, but the fabric is firm and flexible, and it looks very beautiful when worn on the body.
And when it was finished, the craftsmen were even more shocked! In the beginning, after they made the spinning wheel, they were still very disapproving... Is this making a toy? It looks so ugly, but now... They already admire them!
After the textile is successful, the next step is a confidential work.
Knowing the broad prospects of woolen sweaters in the future, Yang Shanlu immediately ordered, just like the Venetian man-made mirrors of the year, to find a deserted village in Zhenluwei, and then all relevant personnel moved in.
For example, all carpenters involved in the production, women weaving, etc., and use the Xuanjia Army as guards, and strive to be a closed, professional sweater production base. After all, this is a big killer for making money in the future, which cannot be ignored.
It was only after Sun Changming received the relocation task that he was a little confused. Although I feel that this new style of clothing is very good, is it really necessary to move the crowd like this? After all, the other things in Daming are not good. The cotton industry and silk are still very developed.
And Yang Shanlu smiled mysteriously. If you know the climate of dripping water and ice in the next ten years, if you see how the local tyrants in Beijing like to pursue fashion and beauty, you will know what it is today. How wise the decision is.
Of course, this decision actually showed its effect within a few days. After that, 30 carpenters and a weaving team of nearly 1,000 people were moved into this dedicated Tunbao. After that, there were three or four people every day. Hundreds of woolen sweaters began to be made.
But after it was put out for test sale, it turned out to be extremely popular. At a price of one or two silver per sweater (similar to clothes ten times the price), after it was delivered to the capital, it was robbed on the same day.
As a result, Yang Shanlu had a stable financial source in his hands.
Although the effect of making money is still inferior to that of Baihualu, the effect of expanding employment channels and stimulating regional economic development is quite obvious.
Even not long after that, on the newly repaired official road, there were already teams of horse-drawn carriages, which began to come to solicit goods in an endless stream. In addition to the stable production of fertilizer, there were many carriages and horses coming to solicit goods. , More lively.
But compared to this, what made Yang Shanlu more happy was that half a month later, he welcomed another long-awaited guest.
On this day, he was condoning the newly recruited recruits, and his guards came to report: "Master Qi, Mr. Liu Zongzhou, Mr. Liu, the gentleman who led the academy is almost out of the city!"
"Really? Then hurry up and meet—" Yang Shanlu was overjoyed. He received the news a few days ago, and now, it really has arrived!
Yang Shanlu immediately ordered that all officers from more than a hundred families went to the city gate to greet him with him.
"My lord, aren't some of the teachers here! Need such a grand reception?" After Yang Shanlu's five-member group and a large number of other officers were all called, many people were puzzled. Tao.
And Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it. Are they just some teachers? No, some cultural elites are here, which means that this place will be the cradle of future talent training for Daming! It means that my Whampoa Military Academy is about to open!
So next, Yang Shanzhou led many of his officers to the South Gate to greet Liu Zongzhou.
About half an hour later, I saw a motorcade on the official road, with a total of more than 30 carriages, obviously not small in scale.
When the convoy arrived at the gate of the city, it stopped, and then walked out of a carriage headed by an old man. This man was square-faced and upright. It was Liu Zongzhou who had not seen him for many days.
"Yang Shanlu pays respects to the old man." After seeing Liu Zongzhou coming out, Yang Shanlu led many officials to salute.
"Why are you happy to welcome me! It's a waste!"
Liu Zongzhou's expression was a bit displeased, but his attitude, like the attitude of facing Yang Shanlu with his back when seeing off Chang Ting last time, was already better.
As for the reason, it was because of what Zhen Luwei saw and heard along the way that he still admired Yang Shanlu.
Because from other prefectures and counties into the territory of Zhenluwei, you can feel the obvious changes.
First of all, the official road at the foot is very spacious, which is completely different from other places, and the farming fields that you see along the way are also very well maintained. Not only the planning is orderly, but the growth of seedlings in the fields is obviously stronger than other places! (Fit field powder is used)
Even the pedestrians on the road look much better than other places. As for the refugees that can be seen everywhere in other places, they are all extinct here. Obviously, this is the result of Yang Shanlu's governance.
So this is why Liu Zongzhou can give him a good face. After all, in essence, Liu Zongzhou is absolutely patriotic and loves the people... The country is rich and the people strong, that is his lifelong wish.
"Hehe, what the old man taught is, let's enter the city now." Yang Shanlu said very respectfully.
"Well—" Liu Zongzhou nodded, and then saw the convoy stop at this time, and from the other carriages, nearly fifty literati, all about 30 to 40 years old, were full of books. They are all wearing long gowns that can be worn by the least talented person.
Yang Shanlu was very happy when he saw it. It seems that these are the disciples brought by Liu Zongzhou. With Liu Zongzhou's talents, these will be important teachers in the future.
"I also invite the old man to enter the city, and I will drive the horse for you." Yang Shanlu said respectfully. It can be said that in order to welcome this master, his posture is very low.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zongzhou waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have to be the case. I think you have managed the town captive guard well. Let's walk into the city and take a closer look."
"Follow the orders of the old gentleman -" Since Liu Zongzhou said so, Yang Shanlu followed his kindness, so he followed his group and walked towards the city together.
In the process of entering the city, not to mention that Liu Zongzhou was surprised when he saw it. The disciples and people under him were even more surprised when they met... Is this still the place of the dirty, messy and poorly impressionable guard? This is neater than the capital!
I saw that the road they walked on was all bluestone slabs, very neat, and there was no debris on both sides of the street. Everywhere was cleaned in order, even to what extent...
Just like the big livestock such as cows and horses on the road, there is an extra dung pocket behind the buttocks to prevent the dirt from being excreted anywhere.
This level of detail, this level of cleanliness, is unimaginable in other places!
"Brother Liheng, it seems that this time following the teacher to come here, it seems not bad."
"Yes, yes, the so-called peeping to see the whole leopard, just looking at such a good environment, I would like to live here for a long time." Among Liu Zongzhou's disciples, some people started talking.
Even after Liu Zongzhou heard this, he sometimes saw such a city, and his face was relieved a lot. Although Yang Shanlu, a little baby, is the son of a traitorous official, he did a really good job in governing people’s livelihood, even he felt in his heart. , It's almost the distance from the kind of peaceful state in his mind.
But then, there was also a scene that made these people uncomfortable.
Among the disciples Liu Zongzhou brought, one of them probably had a bit of an uncomfortable voice, so he spit out sputum everywhere. Of course, if this was in other places, that would be a normal thing, but here it is not good!
Just as he was about to move on, an old woman suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab, and with a vigorous movement that was not commensurate with her age, she stopped him: "Spitting anywhere, fine for 2 penalties!"
"what?"
The middle-aged talent was stunned, and said in a daze, "What are your rules! Even in the most benevolent area of Beijing, there are no such rules!"
"Hey, but it won't work when we get to our town guard!"
The old woman was still a little bit happy when she said it. In fact, when this measure was first introduced, even old residents like her were not used to it, but she quickly tasted the benefits.
Because she can get half of the fine for the two pennies, how could she not support it
As for now, let alone, the old woman has solemnly said: "You are ruining our clean and tidy environment, so you must be fined! And it depends on your first visit. If you are residents of the city, you will have to double the fine if you know the law and break the law!"
Although this makes sense, it doesn't stop there... The talent still wants to continue the theory, but the people who saw his colleagues are already looking at him. He doesn't want to lose courtesy for this amount of money, so he can only Angrily took out two pennies from her body and handed them to the old woman.
After the old woman quickly tore a receipt to him, she left with joy.
"Sven sweeps the floor, Sven sweeps the floor! This is too strict!" The talent shook his head and sighed. In fact, he was distressed by the two pennies, spitting out a sputum, and a meat bun was gone.
On the contrary, Liu Zongzhou's face remained silent after seeing the eyes, but he secretly said in his heart that using fines to control the environment, although it is a bit vulgar, is still a good way.
After walking for a while, a group of people came to the address of the academy, which is not far from the garrison office. Yang Shanlu just smiled and said, "Old gentleman, look at this as the address of the academy, is it appropriate? ?"
Liu Zongzhou just said noncommittal: "Go in first and have a look."
In front of everyone, this is a huge courtyard with a total area of nearly 50 acres!
When Liu Zong walked in on Monday, he saw five rows of classrooms, dozens of them.
It can be seen that Yang Shanlu is very attentive in this regard. All the classrooms are newly built, with red bricks and green tiles, and beech wood columns.
What is particularly rare is that each classroom has six windows. Although it will be more troublesome to build this way, it greatly increases the indoor lighting and actually takes into account the needs of the students.
After Liu Zongzhou saw it, although he didn't say anything, he was still very satisfied. Such a classroom, even the Donglin Academy back then, did not do it well.
Going further inside, there is a field covering about 20 acres, on which not only a flat lawn is planted, but also a lot of big trees are transplanted, so that it can not only be used for leisure, but also can be used for rest. Read and take a walk under the tree.
"This is for students to exercise and rest." Yang Shanlu said.
"Well—" Liu Zongzhou just nodded slightly, feeling very good.
And further back, is the residence of the teachers.
Because he truly respected the teacher, Yang Shanlu built his teacher's residence into a single-family one, each with a small courtyard, giving enough private space.
In addition, beside these yards, an artificial lake was dug ingeniously. The artificial lake is about five acres in size. The lake is planted with ornamental plants such as lotus roots and there are pavilions on the lake.
In this way, whether it is these literati who want to sing poems and paint, or take a walk and relax, it is a very good place.
"You have a heart." After reading it, even Liu Zongzhou, who was planning to pick some thorns at the beginning, couldn't help but applaud... What he did was really good.
As for the disciples he brought, I was very happy to meet them... Such a beautiful place met their expectations too much.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Yang Shanlu also showed a smile on his face... Can I do my best if I can! What I want to run is not a rural private school, but a holy place for cultivating talents! The Whampoa Military Academy of this era! Leading Daming Academy! So we must do our best.
