Although the population has increased now, the demand has also increased accordingly. In addition to the tribe's own use, a certain system leader has also become the largest supplier of daily necessities between the ninth continent and the eighth continent.
Whether it is light industry for self-use or export, the demand is astonishingly large.
Among other things, the labor force required by the major weaving factories that were originally part of the weaving has reached nearly 10,000 people.
Although it is called a weaving factory, it is still based on family production. Only 2,000 people work full-time in the factory, and the remaining 8,000 people work part-time in the garment factory.
They will also work in their original jobs on weekdays and during the day.
They can only be busy with their part-time and second jobs at night and during their Sunday break.
To put it simply, the person in charge of the weaving factory distributes the raw materials in the form of wholesale to the students who have studied in the Textile Vocational Technical College, and after the production is completed, it is recycled to the weaving factory in the form of a record.
But even if nearly 10,000 people are spent on the textile industry, the cloth and garments produced are still far from enough, let alone exported to other continents.
However, this is all due to the fact that the production tools are too backward. After all, the reference is the technological level of Youzhou, and it is more inclined to use the weaving tools such as flying shuttles for manual production.
The launch of the flying shuttle greatly accelerated the speed of weaving at that time, and also stimulated the demand for cotton yarn.
When there were not many people in the early days, the flying shuttle was able to meet the daily needs of the Tianyuan tribe.
But later, there were more and more people, and they had to face the problem of exporting in exchange for resources. There was a serious shortage of fabrics that could be supplied by the production technology of Feishuo.
In order to increase the output, a certain system leader focused on a hand spinning machine called 'Jenny Machine'.
The 'Jenny Machine' can spin many cotton threads at a time, which greatly improves the productivity.
It was also the emergence of the Jenny machine that enabled the establishment of large-scale weaving factories.
Instead of being a weaving factory in name like the Tianyuan tribe is now, it is still a small workshop with family production as the unit.
The jenny machine is 8 times more spinning than the old spinning wheel, but still requires manpower.
In addition to the 'jenny machine', a certain system boss also took a fancy to its upgraded version, that is, the mule spinning machine and the reel spinning machine, and set up different workshops according to the characteristics of the three spinning machines.
With the help of these three new types of spinning machines, Chen Chao believes that he will soon be able to liberate this part of the manpower in the weaving factory from these repetitive labors.
After writing down the meeting time with the R&D department in the documents submitted by the weaving factory, Chen Chao asked Xiaodian to prepare specific information about the Jenny machine, mule spinning machine and reel spinning machine, so as to prepare for the next meeting. Get ready for the next R&D meeting.
In addition to the technical upgrade of the weaving factory, Chen Chao also asked Xiaodian to prepare some more materials for the Ministry of Agriculture, so that he can issue tasks together with the R&D department during the meeting.
One is the upgrading of the rice hulling technology of the Ministry of Agriculture, which are pedal threshing machines and windmill poppers.
It is necessary to rush to harvest the rice, successfully develop (copy), and mass-produce, so as to relieve a certain amount of harvesting pressure for this bumper harvest.
The second is the breeding of hybrid rice varieties and the virus-free seedling breeding technology of potato (potato, sweet potato) crops.
The third is targeted pesticide research and mass production by pesticide factories, otherwise it would take a lot of manpower to maintain crops every year.
After dealing with the documents of the weaving factory, Chen Chao turned his attention to the construction progress of the mint.
The problem of resource allocation brought about by the population explosion has also greatly hindered the original situation of bartering.
In the early days, the currency form of circulation coupons was brilliant at the rally, but due to rough production and poor anti-counterfeiting marks, corresponding imitation coupons soon appeared on the market.
And because of this situation, several serious conflicts occurred, which also seriously disrupted the currency policy issued by the Tianyuan Tribe.
Aiming at this situation, Super Chen also took corresponding countermeasures.
The gold standard and the silver standard are not considered for the time being. First, it is relatively easy to imitate, second, the amount is huge, and third, there are insufficient resources.
If the amount is small, it must be cut down.
The main reason is that the first batch of circulation coupons of the Tianyuan tribe were issued according to the rice standard, and a catty of rice was worth one yuan.
So this time he plans to issue coins directly, and the amount is still in accordance with 1 jiao, 2 jiao, 5 jiao, 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, and 100 yuan.
To issue coins, it is necessary to develop corresponding production lines...
Thinking of the preparations needed for the follow-up, Super Chen felt his head grow bigger.
Including the recent need to build guns, cannons, and explosives (sensitive words) to build factories and streamline them. The research and development of machine tools alone has made a certain system boss so worried that he can't eat.
But there is no other way. Recently, people from the Chou Tribe and the Stone Tribe have become agitated again. Don’t you have some technology? The all-round suppression of force, the loss of soldiers every time a battle is too distressing.
Relying on cold weapons and a well-trained army, it is inevitable that there will be some losses in real battles.
It's really unnecessary to change one for one, and the Tianyuan tribe can't afford it at this stage.
In Chen Chao's eyes, if the enemy can be eliminated from a distance, it is best to directly eliminate them from a distance...
In addition to the machine tool, the hydroelectric power station is already under construction. After all, this is the first five-year goal set at the first meeting of the Tianyuan Tribal Committee, and it is also the goal proposed by Chen Chao and requested to be implemented.
The target code is two links.
Connect water and electricity.
It is necessary to connect running water and electricity to thousands of households in Tianyuan City.
As soon as the tap is turned on, the water will rush out, and people no longer have to travel long distances to obtain all domestic water.
To turn on a light at the touch of a switch. In addition to lighting up lights, there are many other things that electricity can do. Even machine tools and auxiliary agricultural production, many, many need electricity.
In the future, there will be radio stations, telephones, and PHS, so that people thousands of miles away can receive government orders from Tianyuan City in a short time.
Everyone in the committee can understand the big pie in front, but the electricity in the back makes many people sneer.
In their eyes, calcium carbide lamps are enough to meet the lighting needs. Even if there are occasional accidents, it is not a big problem to overcome them.
Even if you want to go deeper, you should overcome the problems of how to make calcium carbide lamps more useful.
Instead of spending a lot of time doing what? Electrify the whole city
As for the machine tools behind, agricultural production and so on... I have never seen it, I don't understand it, I can't imagine it.
They think it's actually pretty good now.
The Tianyuan Tribal Committee is a newly established administrative department, and its members are all the original leadership team of the Tianyuan Tribe, such as Chen Chao and the little old man with the horns on his head.
There are also people in power in various major departments, such as Yuan Duyan, Minister of Light Industry, Yuan Dazhuang, who is in power in the military, Shu Wu, head of the police system, Shu Shu, Minister of Mineral Resources Development, Yuan Yi, Director of the Education Bureau, Yuan Qu and the Police Department ( The fat rich man of the original Jie tribe), Yuan Linong of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and others.
And some tribal leaders who brought their own big tribes to join them, such as Xia, Le, Liang, Cong, Zi and other tribes.
With the large number of people brought, it also occupied a place in the committee.
Although they have joined for a short time, they are very united and very good at forming cliques.
Relying on these, the right to speak gradually became bigger and bigger in the committee, and the committee was also faintly divided into two factions under this trend.
One group is headed by old people from the Tianyuan tribe like Chen Chao, and the other is headed by Xia Houjin, the former leader of the Xia tribe.
Several times, people from my own faction almost failed to overwhelm those from the other faction.
It can be said that external troubles and internal troubles ah.
The explosive population growth of Tianyuan Tribe is good or bad, but it may not bring all benefits.
After all, I was too hasty.
But he knew that there was not much time left for him.
