Chapter 1389

I have to say that Yang Min is indeed very capable and is particularly enthusiastic about the cloth business!

With her unremitting efforts, by September, Linshan Silk and Satin Village had already weaved 300,000 pieces of silk!

According to this progress, at least another 300,000 pieces of silk can be weaved before the Chinese New Year!

Although there is still a gap between the 600,000 silk and the one million silk required by the Weaving Bureau, in fact, both the Weaving Bureau and the Palace are already very satisfied with this quantity!

Because, they never thought that they could weave a million pieces of silk before the end of the year.

In the past few months, Lin Xu has done a lot of things.

As expected, after the flood, there were indeed plagues in many places, and it was malaria with a very high mortality rate!

In such an era, once you get malaria, it is basically equivalent to having a terminal illness. The doctor has no way to treat it. Whether you can survive it depends entirely on your physical fitness!

But this time, it's different!

Because Lin Xu had already mass-produced artemisinin. After malaria appeared, Lin Xu immediately organized manpower to use artemisinin for those patients with malaria. He also strictly required that everyone not be allowed to drink raw water, and donated a large amount of cotton cloth to make mosquito nets for everyone to avoid the bites and transmission of mosquitoes.

After this series of extremely targeted epidemic prevention and treatment, the plague was curbed within a month, and the death toll was eventually controlled within 200 people!

Compared with the tragic situation in which thousands of people died at the death of plagues, and even some villages died, this time it can definitely be said to have fought a beautiful plague sniper battle!

Lin Xu also gained supreme reputation through the two things of reforming relief and controlling plague. The name of "Mr. Lin" spread throughout Jiangnan. There were even many people who were favored by Lin Xu, who spontaneously offered the eternal life card to Lin Xu at home!

This shows how people's hearts are favored!

In addition, during these times, Lin Xu also made many breakthroughs in industry, one of which was to build the first self-generated musket in Daning!

This self-generated musket is 40 cm long and is made of stainless steel. It has an effective range of about 150 meters. It is much more powerful than a crossbow, especially when it is used to deal with cavalry, it is a powerful weapon!

In fact, Daning already had muskets at this time, but this musket was not invented and manufactured by Daning himself, but goods sold by vassal merchants from the Western Regions.

However, this kind of musket sold by merchants from the Western Regions is a combroster gun. It is very troublesome to light a fire before each launch!

However, the musket invented by Lin Xu is a flintlock rifle. It uses flint to fire, which is a great improvement compared to a flint gun!

In addition, this is a three-eyed musket. During combat, it can be fired three times continuously. Its power can be imagined!

However, this kind of three-eyed musket also has a big disadvantage, that is, it is a bit troublesome to load ammunition, especially when fighting with cavalry. If you fill in ammunition after three guns, it will obviously be too late!

For this reason, Lin Xu suddenly had a fantasy idea and made the three-eyed musket a hammer shape, and the handle could be opened, and there was a sharp blade inside. After three guns were fired, he could hold the three-eyed musket backwards, which could be used as a hammer, pull out the handle, and use as a sickle!

Such a three-eyed musket can definitely be called an epoch-making product in the history of Daning weapons!
