In the fertile Danube basin, Ibrahim traveled to many places in detail. Almost every place was the same as here in Constantinople. The originally fertile fields turned into grasslands, and people no longer grew food, but instead raised sheep and cattle.
The wool and beef produced here were continuously sold to the Ming Empire, which brought considerable profits to the nobles and lords here, and also brought considerable tax revenue to the Ottoman Empire's treasury.
It seems that everything is going well, but Ibrahim always feels that something is wrong, and there seems to be a huge hidden danger inside.
But he still couldn't figure out what was wrong and what kind of hidden dangers there were.
With such doubts, Ibrahim returned to Instanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
He really wanted to go to Suleiman to report what he saw in the Danube region, but the ruler Suleiman went to inspect the Ottoman textile factory that had just been completed and put into operation.
So Ibrahim hurried to the Ottoman textile factory in the suburbs.
At this moment, here in the Ottoman Textile Factory, there are many factory buildings in the huge factory. There are a lot of machines roaring in the factory. A large number of female workers are busy beside the machines, operating the machines with a little unfamiliarity, and quickly The cotton is spun into thread and then into cloth.
Sultan Suleiman of the Ottoman Empire looked at the huge factory in front of him, the propaganda of the machines, the rotation of a large number of shuttles, the rotation of cotton threads, and in the blink of an eye, cloth came down from the production line like running water.
There was a smile on his face and he was very satisfied with this.
The Ottoman Empire finally built its first modern textile production line, officially starting the industrialization path of the Ottoman Empire.
"Your Majesty, our textile factory uses the first generation of steam-powered textile machines. Although this machine is not the most advanced, fortunately its structure is relatively simple. Our people can maintain it after studying in Daming."
"But the efficiency of this machine is quite good, and its production speed will not be worse than the most advanced electric textile machines of the Ming Dynasty."
"If it starts production at full capacity, it can produce more than 5,000 pieces of cotton cloth in a day!"
Beside Suleiman, the person in charge of the factory, Daniel, smiled and introduced the factory to Suleiman in detail.
The young sultan in front of him was talented and ambitious, determined to revitalize the Ottoman Empire, and carried out various reforms in all aspects of the Ottoman Empire.
The most important point is to follow the path of industrialization in the empire.
He saw that the Ming Empire became stronger due to industrialization, so he also followed the example of the Ming Empire and spent a lot of money to build a number of factories, including the textile factory in front of him, the cement factory and the steel factory under construction. Moreover, it is said that electricity will be developed in the future, and it is threatened that Istanbul will be as bright as daytime even at night, like the capital of the Ming Empire.

But this path is obviously not that easy to walk.
Not to mention anything else, just in this textile factory in front of you, almost all the technology, equipment, etc. in this textile were imported from the Ming Empire at a high price.
This kind of textile production line driven by steam power has long been eliminated and replaced by the Ming Empire. Now the people of the Ming Dynasty have gradually begun to use the third generation of electric textile machines.
No one wants this kind of steam spinning machine.
But even the backward steam textile machines were purchased at a high price by the Ottoman Empire. The total size of the machines in the entire factory cost the Ottoman Empire more than 3 million taels of silver.
And the construction, installation, transportation, etc. of this factory all depended on the Ming Dynasty. Even an iron piece on the machine had to be transported from the Ming Empire.
Because in the words of Ming people, the iron sheets are also different. The ductility, toughness, etc. of iron sheets of different materials will have huge differences, which will affect the use of the machine.
The black-hearted Ming Dynasty people dare to charge themselves a tael of silver for a piece of iron. They are simply stealing money.
There are also these people, just like their ancestors, who invited engineers from the Ming Dynasty to come here to install and debug these machines. These Ming Dynasty people are quite arrogant.
The salary is high, a Ming engineer actually costs more than 100 taels of silver a month, and he also has to pay extra for accommodation, food, entertainment, business trip subsidies, transportation subsidies, etc.
This miscellaneous additionShake. "
"On their assembly lines, cars are continuously produced like running water. Each production line is basically a gold mine, producing gold continuously."
Ibrahim thought about it and said very seriously.
"Um!"
¡°There is still a big gap between us and the Ming Empire.¡±
"But as long as we can speed up the pace and keep moving forward, I believe we will one day catch up with the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Su Laiman was not angry at all.
The power of the Ming Empire is something that is obvious to all the world. Now I am quickly catching up with the Ming Empire, starting with simple textile factories, cement factories, and steel factories.
Next, Suleiman will also develop electricity, shipbuilding, chemical industry, oil refining, etc. He believes that with his own efforts, the Ottoman Empire will become as powerful as the Ming Empire.
There is nothing to be afraid of if there is a gap. What is terrible is that you are unwilling to learn from the strengths of others and remain stuck in your own ways. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
