Chapter 196 Research and Development of Jacquard Machines

Recently, many players in Jingwu Village have been constantly coming from other places, and many people have applied for settlement. However, due to the current scale of Jingwu Village, Jingwu Village is currently only open to technical and investment talents without restrictions. Ordinary players even members of Jingwu Hall have to give concessions to technical and investment talents.

There are many NPCs, but most of them are refugees. Jingwu Village is currently limited in scale and will definitely not be able to take all these refugees in it. However, Jingwu Village has also done some things, and the most interesting thing among them is to establish a [Grain Bank].

The purpose of establishing a grain bank is very simple, which is to gather food funded by enthusiastic people and then open it to refugees regularly for a fee. Why is it not free? Because people are lazy, many people don’t know how to cherish free things, and they can easily drag down the villages.

The jobs that refugees of different ages can receive are different. Among them, men aged 16 to 45 can receive tasks such as mining, cutting wood, and city defense. They can eat three meals a day. As for wages, I'm sorry that there are no one yet.

It was not Huo Xiangkong's stinginess, but based on the information from players from all over the country, when they knew that Jingwu Village was providing food for refugees, refugees from all over the country poured in here. The pressure on Jingwu Village was very high. In order to give more people a job, Shangguan Jia opened a quarry near the village to prepare for the establishment of the city wall.

In addition, due to the influx of players, the villagers became richer, and the original wooden institutions were facing upgrades. Therefore, the deputy village chief Shangguan Jia established a brick factory in the name of the village: a brick factory and a tile factory. Because of the sufficient labor, these two factories used refugees.

This time, Jingwu Village tried to replace wages by issuing grain coupons for the first time. A grain coupon station was set up in Jingwu Village. In addition to two meals guaranteed meals, refugees would issue grain coupons of corresponding value each month based on daily wages. Grain coupons can receive steamed buns and buns at the grain coupons. This move mainly targets the families of refugees from several factories. If the effect of the grain coupons is proven to be feasible in the later stage, it will be considered to promote them to other refugees’ work locations, and even oil tickets, clothing tickets, etc.

Ahem, it seems to be a bit too far, but after saying so much, I just want to explain one thing: Jingwu Village Youwei NPC has done some, but due to limited ability, the treatment of NPCs is really not worthy. As for the NPCs who settled, unless they have good skills and martial arts skills, it is impossible to settle down.

Therefore, Huo Xiangkong was very surprised that the first person who came to apply for Lu Bantang from other places to join Lu Bantang was not a player but an NPC.

This NPC is a man in his 30s. His last job was in a textile machine factory and his working years were 5 years. His name was Zheng Jiu.

"Zheng Jiu, how did you know that our Lubantang recruits people, and why did you come here to apply for a job? You should know that at most we give you the same salary in other places, even less than the salary in the factory before." Huo Xiangkong poured out his psychological questions.

"To be honest, Zheng Jiu was recruited by his mother. A year ago, Zheng Jiu's family property was occupied by local landlords. My mother and I had no choice but to become refugees. During this period, I was separated from my mother. I had been looking for my mother for a year. I had given up on the vast crowd, but in a missing person notice at the entrance of a Jingwu Pavilion in the capital, I saw an announcement to find my information. It turned out that my mother was taken in by Jingwu Village and invited her to settle down with technical talents. I was about to take a leave to visit and pick up my mother. A few days ago, I saw a post in the announcement that recruiting craftsmen who could make jacquard machines again. I happened to be doing this, so I rented a big eagle with the wages of this period."

Listening to my Zheng Jiu's words, Huo Xiangkong's inexplicable words appeared in his heart: Good people will be rewarded. Since the implementation of the policy of Jingwu Village attaching importance to talents, many people have basically been in vain. Huo Xiangkong even wanted to adjust the policy to only allow the needed talents. Fortunately, Zheng Jiu's arrival told Huo Xiangkong: All this is worth it.

"Welcome to Lubantang. We are currently making a PR jacquard machine. If you can make a jacquard machine within a week, I will not only give you twice the salary in the previous factory, but also provide you with an independent brick and tile house for you and your current one. In addition, you will also be assigned to the fields."

"Thank you, village chief, Zheng Jiu will definitely complete the task." Zheng Jiu said excitedly. Although Zheng Jiu is a technical talent, the environment of this era is: people who have no land are refugees. Therefore, Zheng Jiu was happy to give this land and even knelt down and kowtowed three times to Huo Xiangkong.

With Zheng Jiu, a professional, Lu Bantang quickly recruited five professional players from carpenters who specialize in carpenters in the game for their purpose of studying carpenters. In this way, the [Jagua Machine Public Relations Group] was established.

...

The Ma family is the only manufacturer in Hezhou County that provides various fabrics. Over the years, the Wang family has gradually opened up the situation with its honest experience, and the fabrics have even begun to expand to the whole province.

The Ma family has not had a strong family, only one daughter and one son. Currently, the one who controls the Wang family is the eldest daughter of the Ma family, while the Ma family's son Ma Wenhao only controls the industry in Hezhou County.

Ma Wenhao has always been very dissatisfied. Why can his sister control the family, but he can only control the industry in Hezhou County? Ma Wenhao used to be just complaining because he knew that he was indeed inferior to his sister Ma Yili in terms of business talent.

However, recently Ma Wenhao felt that his opportunity had come. The City God actually asked for help. Although he only saw the guards around the City God, as a mortal, he could actually be related to the gods. Ma Wenhao felt very excited. The guard had already promised him that as long as he did this for the City God God, the City God would meet him. As long as he got a little reward, it would be enough to take it home. Maybe the family would consider handing over all the industries to him. After all, although his sister Ma Yili has a very business talent, she is a woman after all. In the future, the Ma family's industry will still be handed over to him.

However, Ma Wenhao was in a very bad mood today. The small Jingwu Village actually wanted to develop a [jacquard machine]. It is said that they wanted to produce cloth by themselves because of their own blockade, which made Ma Wenhao very annoyed. You must know that the Ma family has always had a monopoly position over the years. The price of cloth in Hezhou County is determined by themselves. If Jingwu Village really opens a textile factory, it will inevitably affect the price of cloth in Hezhou County.
