It’s not that Feng Yong looks down on the ancients, but compared to the production level of this era, family manual work is the mainstream.
Bringing so many people together like him involves a lot of things.
Things like the arrangement of work processes, management of factory personnel, employee motivation methods, etc. are all extremely complicated things for people in this era.
It doesn't mean that you just take out the spinning wheels and looms and arrange them and that's it.
Otherwise, why would there be so many theories about management in the future?
Although Feng Yong has not studied it specifically, in the era of the information explosion, he has heard a lot and seen a lot, so he naturally knows a little bit about it.
Coupled with the unique bureaucracy of the official business, Feng Yongcai does not believe that next year's competitors can do better than him.
A genius like Amei is not something you can just pick up.
Even if there is, it is not something that can be valued in this era.
That is to say, Feng Turtle knew that Old Demon Zhuge not only maintained an open-minded attitude toward invention and creation, but even invented things himself, so he contributed so many things.
If you change to the north, would you try?
Does Ma Jun know about cutting?
One of the most powerful inventors in ancient times, but such an inventor failed in his life and was looked down upon by powerful people from aristocratic families. Even the things he invented and transformed were buried in history and never saw the light of day.
In the original history, the reason Zhuge Lao Yao was able to use pure infantry to defeat Cao Wei, who had cavalry, was indispensable to the Zhuge Crossbow in his hand.
However, this kind of battlefield weapon could be improved again by Ma Jun and its power was greatly increased, but it was dismissed by Cao Wei's dignitaries and they were not even interested in taking a look.
Therefore, later generations can only know about such a thing from fragments of historical materials, and they don't even know what the thing looked like.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are said to be the four peoples, but in fact there are only two people, the only ones are the scholars and the others.
Even if Old Demon Zhuge values practicality and despises such pedantic ideas, this is what the world thinks. How can he change it easily?
Who in the world can do this for someone like Feng Tubiao who values the improvement of a servant girl?
So how can you, Feng Tibi, have confidence in a workshop run by the imperial court?
It's just that Feng Yong was a little disappointed with this improvement of the loom, because it was just as Amei said, it only made a few changes and did not make a big leap forward like last time.
The basic principle of the loom, to put it simply, is to interweave threads vertically and horizontally like warp and weft threads to form cloth.
Amei's improvement this time is to make the reed joint that pulls the weft a little heavier, and add a bamboo piece on it, so that the strength can be increased when weaving, so the woven cloth is denser.
The elasticity of bamboo slices can not only increase the strength of the reed joints, but also help people save some effort.
Although the changes are not too big, the concept is very clever.
"You, go up and try."
The cheating wife was also called over, so let’s call her that for now.
Anyway, for Feng Tubiao, he can't see how much difference this change has from before.
The cheating lady probably didn't expect that her affair would lead to Nanxiang's biggest boss, who was standing aside shivering.
Seeing Feng Yong pointing at her, she quickly ran up in panic and sat down on the loom, only to find that there was no wool at hand.
She looked over at a loss as if asking for help, opened her mouth, but did not dare to speak.
Fortunately, Li Mu, who had been prepared in advance, gave the order and someone handed over a bundle of wool.
Her feet stepped on the pedals and her hands began to move. Although she could see that she was a little panicked, her hands and feet were still relatively skilled and she should have practiced a lot.
According to her method, even if she uses an ordinary loom, she will definitely pass the test normally.
Li Mu had no reason not to see it, but why did she have to let this servant girl try again?
Feng Yong glanced at Li Mu doubtfully.
Unfortunately, Li Mu didn't seem to notice that Feng Yong was looking at her, and Feng Yong couldn't see anything from her face.
"Why let her use this machine?"
Feng Yong felt confident that he no longer had to watch the lady weaving. He asked Amei.
Amei twisted her clothes and said, "My maid usually uses this machine to teach her, and she is used to it. Today she didn't pay attention and just sat on it."
This small house is open to the public on weekdays, so that women who want to apply for household registration can practice weaving.
I have a good relationship with someone who can weave. When I have free time on weekdays, I invite the person who can weave to come over and teach me for a while.
If you don't know someone, you can stand by and watch and think about it secretly. You may even take out the thread that you have worked hard overtime to spin and give it to a woman who is also learning to weave, thinking that her best friend can also teach you.
There is no charge for the thread spun overtime. You only need to pay 70% of the thread, and the remaining 30% can be used to practice hand weaving.
Regarding this point, Feng Tibi consciously still has a conscience - the wool is mine!
Besides, this was plucked out from under the nose of Old Demon Zhuge, so it’s not easy for me either.
Everyone in the textile workshop knew that Amei was Feng Tubou's favorite concubine.
In other words, Amei has a soft temper and is unwilling to show off.
If she were someone who loves to show off, no one would dare to mess with her while walking sideways in the textile workshop.
So because of Amei's temperament, she took her fellow villagers to learn weaving and was too embarrassed to occupy a machine, so she took advantage of her identity and asked the craftsmen in the workshop to help her make it again.
A loom was placed there just for her use.
It's just that this girl may not be too concerned about this fellow villager, right?
"My grandmother came from that village. When I was young, my mother went there with my mother and met Axiang..."
Amei knew Feng Yong's temperament very well. One look at his expression and she knew what Feng Yong wanted to ask, so she quickly explained.
Oh, it turns out we have known each other since we were children.
Although no one dared to bully Amei around her, she didn't have many playmates on weekdays. Now that she can meet her childhood playmates, it makes her feel less lonely here, which is a good thing.
"Okay, tell her to stop. I have the final say in this matter, so let her register."
Feng Yong settled the matter in one breath.
As soon as a surprised smile appeared on Amei's face, the lady beside her knelt down in front of Feng Yong and kowtowed in a hurry, mumbling without knowing what she was saying.
"Axiang said that she thanked the Lord for his great kindness."
Amei explained from the side.
"How long has she been here?"
Feng Yong asked.
"About three months."
"After three months, can't you even speak simple Chinese? After you register, you will be considered a Han. Han Chinese who can't speak Chinese, isn't that a joke?"
Feng Yong said to Li Mu, "In the future, when the weavers in the workshop register, they must add that in addition to being able to weave, they must also be able to speak Chinese, at least the words used in daily life."
"I understand." Li Mu replied.
The lady who was still kneeling was also nodding her head, which seemed to indicate that she would work hard to learn Chinese well. It seemed that she could understand it, but she just couldn't speak it for the time being.
"Okay, you guys go out first, I have something to tell Mrs. Mu."
Feng Yong waved his hand and drove the others out.
Amei didn't think much, she pulled that Axiang and left happily.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Feng Yong stared at Li Mu without saying a word.
"I wonder what brother wants to say to my little sister?"
At this time, Li Mu was dressed in simple and elegant clothes. He was not as elaborately dressed as he was during his last visit. Instead, he imitated the people in the textile workshop and wore narrow sleeves, showing a smart look.
Feng Yong smiled and said calmly, "Although Amei is a court lady, she is the person I care about most. I hope this is this time and the last time for you."
"What my brother said, I don't know what I mean."
Li Mu blinked and said in a daze.
She suddenly looked aggrieved again, "Brother, did you misunderstand something?"
"There is no misunderstanding. Even if there is a misunderstanding, it is because of your behavior that I misunderstood you."
Seeing that the woman in front of him was still pretending to be stupid, Feng Yong's face turned cold, "You have just arrived, so you may not be clear about some things, and you may not understand my temper well."
"As long as you think you can prove your ability in the textile workshop, you don't have to worry about me and you can just go ahead and do it. However, if you can't prove your worth, then I can only say I'm sorry."
"What's more important is that you can't get involved in anything other than the textile workshop without my permission. Otherwise, even though I, Feng, have a reputation as a womanizer, I may not have the heart to care about women."
What are you pretending to be like me?
I have seen a lot of club attendants in later generations!
Movie king-level actors are seen on the screen every day.
Amei was a treasure that Feng Tubou got with great difficulty, but was used as a weapon by the woman in front of him, so he must give her a warning.
Li Mu suddenly turned his face when he saw Feng Tubou's dog-like face, and finally realized that he seemed to have touched the bottom line of the man in front of him.
At that moment, he forced a smile, lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry Feng Langjun, I was too impatient. However, I can assure you that I have no ill intentions towards Mrs. Amei."
"If you had any ill intentions, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me now. Instead, you would pack your things and prepare to go back to Jincheng to tell Taigong Li that you should stop struggling in Hanzhong and just stay in Jincheng with peace of mind.
.”
Although Feng Yong's tone was light, his words were extremely serious.
Governor Ma of Hanzhong still owes me money!
The worst case scenario is that he doesn't need the money anymore. If he makes Old Demon Zhuge angry again, he will drive the sixth house of the Li family out of Hanzhong. Feng Yong believes that he can still do it.
"I understand, I will never dare to do it again."
Although there is no such saying at this time about the three things a new official should do when he takes office, the practices have been the same since ancient times.
Li Mu parachuted into the textile workshop, anxious to prove herself, and wanted to use someone to establish her authority to show her authority. This is understandable, but she should not include Amei in the calculation.
Axiang's matter is not a big deal at all. It is dispensable and can be recognized or not.
But if Feng Yong agreed with Li Mu's approach on this matter, then he would have unintentionally shown his support for Li Mu, and Li Mu would have achieved her goal.
If Feng Yong denies her approach, she has nothing to lose.
After all, everyone knows that Amei is Feng Yong's favorite concubine. If Feng Yong directly let Axiang register in the household registration, everyone would think that Amei gave him a pillow blow.
This is a perfectly normal thing.
Moreover, Li Mu might also be able to take the opportunity to test out Feng Yong's temperament and personality.
The bad thing is that no one knows how much Feng Tubiao values a maid.
The improvement of technology requires the accumulation of time and experience.
Once Amei improves her spinning wheel, her character will explode.
It is rare that she can still maintain her passion for improving looms.
This kind of behavior needs encouragement, and Axiang's registration was an encouragement given by Feng Tubou to his maid.
Whether Axiang can obtain household registration is indeed a dispensable matter for Feng Yonglai.
On this point, Li Mu was right.
But if this matter can be regarded as an encouragement to Amei, then it will be different. Maybe, this trivial investment will make the maid's character explode again?
Although the possibility is extremely small, no one can say for sure about character. What if?
It doesn’t cost money anyway, just say something casually and it will be accurate.
Therefore, what Li Mu did might dampen Amei's enthusiasm, and Feng Yong would never allow it.
"My brother's thoughts are really unpredictable."
Li Mu smiled helplessly to himself, "I'm just being smart."
"There is nothing unpredictable," Feng Yong shook his head, "I said, as long as you can prove yourself, you can just do the things in the workshop. If you are really undecided, you can come to me."
"But you can't worry about things outside the workshop."
"I have taken note of it." Li Mu nodded and said.
"That Axiang..."
Feng Yong pondered for a moment and then said, "Please help me pay attention and see if there is anything suspicious."
Since Li Mu likes to play tricks, let her use this Axiang to practice, which can be regarded as a disguised affirmation of her approach.
Feng Tubeng's sudden change of tone really made Li Mu's eyes light up, "Brother, don't you blame me?"
"These are two different things." Feng Yong glanced at Li Mu, "If that Axiang has nothing to do with Amei, I won't care about her. But since she is connected with Amei, then I have to find out who she is.
All the details."
"It doesn't matter if you are plotting against me in this matter, but your mistake was in bringing Amei in. She will be kept by me for great use in the future, and I don't want her to be contaminated with these things."
Maintaining a relatively pure environment allows people to concentrate on learning.
Although it is not yet known where Amei's highest talent lies, it seems that she has performed very well in all aspects. She can be regarded as a genius. This is a certain fact.
In just half a year, you have already learned the basic knowledge of elementary school for later generations. What is it but a genius?
As long as they use scientific methods to train, there will be people in later generations who can do it, but for Feng Turtle, original genius is even more valuable.
Such a genius should not waste energy on such intrigues. She should have greater exploration value.
"It seems that Mrs. Amei is very popular with my brother. It is true."
Li Mu sighed, remembering that although Amei was named Feng Yong's maid, she was not only able to read and read, but could also come and go freely anywhere in the textile workshop. No one could control her except for Feng Yong's orders.
.
Even Zhao Guang and others must be polite to her.
It is really rare in the world to be pampered like this as a maid.
This made her feel a little envious. Isn't it because she had a bad reputation so that she could be free from restraints and be able to do what she liked to her heart's content?
If someone could pamper me like this, how could I end up like this?
After hearing this, Feng Tubiao did not explain, but secretly said in his heart that you don't understand the importance of a genius at all.
Especially in this era of extremely low literacy rates.
Just look at what Zhuge Lao Yao does to the big man and you will understand.
