Wang Shouren is a noble Hanlin, he only needs to stay in the Hanlin Courtyard with peace of mind, and quietly walk the path that his father Wang Hua has walked, and the Wang family can really go to the peak in the future.

Wang Hua can do the position of the six departments and nine qing, and he Wang Shouren can also do it, and the Wang family will be stronger than other Caiyun textile factories who have worked hard to do this because of the huge benefits.

Once that time comes, he Wang Shouren will have whatever he wants, and as many pieces of cloth as he wants, someone will send it to his home.

Of course, this is the idea of Wang Gui and Wang Xian, and it is also the idea of the vast majority of people in this era, and it is difficult for them to understand Wang Shouren's spirit of exploration.

He didn't open a textile factory, he was exploring, researching, researching a kind of knowledge that no one had ever studied and explored.

The textile factories opened by Liu Jin and Wang Shouren quickly started to operate, and a lot of silver was sprinkled, and they could also feel the speed of this era, to be precise, they should feel the diligence of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

In just one month, the Caiyun Textile Factory opened by Wang Shouren began to be officially put into production.

A brand-new spinning machine and loom Here, more than 100 recruited workers are seriously spinning and weaving, so that the whole factory comes with a sound of tooth-sore wood rubbing.

"Uncle Xian, my plan is to recruit five hundred people, why are there only more than one hundred now?"

Wang Shouren patrolled the factory, and his plan was to open a large textile factory with thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

However, Wang Shouren is also very planned, not to reach this scale all at once, but to recruit 500 people to test the water, see the situation, and get familiar with the situation of the textile industry, and then slowly expand his scale step by step.

"Childe, it's too difficult to recruit workers in the capital, I offered a monthly fee of one or two and a half cents of silver, plus three meals a day, and I only recruited more than 100 people, and I really can't recruit more."

Wang Xian said helplessly, after coming to the capital, he really found that the labor in the capital was extremely tight, and it was difficult to recruit people.

You must know that the weaver does not need a strong and powerful labor force, women can do, even children can be, in this era there is no child labor, and there is no saying that children are not allowed to be recruited.

With such treatment, if it is in Zhejiang, it is really as many people as you can recruit.

But this is the capital, there are too many factories and workshops of all kinds, and there are so many workers in need that many factories have been forced to pay higher wages, or to recruit workers in Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places.

Wang Xian offered such conditions, and it was really not good to recruit people.

Wang Shouren looked at the employees of his textile factory, many of them were children, only teenagers, and they were all girls, all of them were still very immature, but they were very serious in their work.

Girls have not been valued since ancient times, especially girls from ordinary families, that is even more so, the book must not be read, but the work is not less, now the textile factory recruits, for ordinary families, it is just right to send the girls in the family to work to make money, and before getting married, they can also earn a lot of silver for the family.

"How many people are recruited by Liu Jin's factory over there?"

After thinking about it, Wang Shouren asked again.

"The first batch of Jingcheng textile factories recruited a full 2,000 people, and they offered high monthly money, good treatment, and good recruitment, and many people wanted to send their own female dolls in."

Wang Xian replied that Wang Shouren now has to compare everything with the Beijing Textile Factory, so he also asked Wang Gui and Wang Xian to pay attention to the movements of the Beijing Textile Factory.

"Well, it seems that if we want to expand next, the money will definitely be increased this month, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit enough people."

Wang Shouren nodded, thought about it and remembered this.

"Childe, let's not rush to expand, let's take it step by step first, a hundred people is also a big factory."

Wang Gui and Wang Xian on the side glanced at each other, thought about it and said.

The two of them always felt that Wang Shouren was in the nature of playing, and when he got tired of playing, he naturally stopped playing, and now spending this money should be used for his fun and pastime.

The Wang family has a big business, and this bit of silver can still be taken out casually, but if the scale continues to expand, the amount of silver invested will become larger and larger, and the price of this play will be too great.

"Hmm~"

Wang Shouren nodded undeniably.

Time passed day by day, and soon, a week passed, and the Caiyun Textile Factory also weaved the first batch of cloth, and the number was only one hundred and fifty white cloths.

One hundred and fifty pieces of white cloth were sold by the Caiyun Textile Factory at a price of two hundred and fifty pieces of cloth, and the total was only sold for less than thirty taels of silver.

Listening to Wang Gui and Wang Xian's reports, Wang Shouren couldn't cry or laugh, this big handful, a lot of silver was scattered, and the first time he received the account, it was only less than thirty taels of silver, and he really had to lose to his grandmother's house.

After calculating this month's revenue, it is more than 100 taels of silver, and just paying wages to these employees costs 150 taels of silver every month, plus the purchase of cotton, machinery, etc., this is a proper blood loss.

"Childe, are we still open?"

Wang Gui looked at Wang Shouren's appearance and asked weakly.

In his opinion, as long as he knows that he can't make money by opening this textile factory, he should soon transfer his energy to his own work, and concentrating on his career is the king.

"Open, of course open~"

Wang Shouren was unmoved, and then thought for a while and said, "Do you think there is a machine that can make a person weave several pieces of cloth in a day?" ”

He remembered the new spinning machine and loom mentioned by Liu Jin, and listened to Liu Jin's meaning, this new spinning machine and loom can greatly improve the efficiency of spinning and weaving, far from being comparable to these traditional spinning machines in his hands.

"This is impossible, how can there be such a machine, how can a person weave several pieces of cloth a day, how is this possible."

When Wang Xian and Wang Gui heard this, they immediately shook their heads, they have been in this industry for a long time, and they know very well how to spin and weave, from south to north, everyone has always used the same spinning machine and loom, and the efficiency is about the same, it depends on the proficiency.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Beijing Textile Factory to have a look."

Wang Shouren smiled, thought about it, and walked to the Beijing Textile Factory with the two of them.

When Wang Shouren came, Liu Jin also happened to be in his own factory, and when he heard that Wang Shouren, a cow man, came to visit, Liu Jin naturally received him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Wang, I heard that you also opened a spinning factory?"

Liu Jin accompanied Wang Shouren to walk in the spinning factory, took Wang Shouren to visit his factory, and chatted while walking.

"I'm not satisfied with Brother Liu, I'm here to learn from me this time."

Wang Shouren smiled and nodded, his eyes carefully observed in Liu Jin's Beijing Spinning Factory.

Compared with his own Caiyun spinning factory, Liu Jin's factory is really called the atmosphere, the factory is very large, covers a wide area, at this time only a small part of it is put into use, and there are a large number of factories under construction.

The textile mills that have been built are all hardened with cement, clean, tidy and neatly planned, and trees have been planted on both sides of the road.

On the cement road in this spacious and tidy factory park, there are people pushing four-wheeled vehicles to and from one factory to another, which seems very busy.

The factory building is also very atmospheric, built very high, the windows are very large, and all the glass is used, so the light in the factory is very good, it will not be as dark as its own factory, and it will be the same as night during the day.

Compared with Liu Jin's factory, his own factory is like an ugly duckling, and he can't see anyone at all and can't take it.

Wang Gui and Wang Xian, who followed behind Wang Shouren, were dumbfounded, this investment is too big, building such a huge factory, and such a high standard, this investment is not enough without hundreds of thousands of silver.

"Haha, then Brother Wang can look at it casually, and ask casually if there is anything you don't understand."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately laughed happily and said very generously.

"Brother Liu, how much cloth can you weave in a week?"

Wang Shouren thought for a while and asked.

"Come to think of it, I think I knitted about 50,000 pieces of cloth last week."

Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.

"Fifty thousand?"

When Wang Gui and Wang Xian heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, and they called out directly, looking incredulous, even if Wang Shouren had already had a premonition in his heart, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly at this time.

"This is impossible, even if there are many people in your factory, but this week you can count weaving 50,000 pieces of cloth, this is simply impossible."

Wang Xian shook his head again and again, not daring to believe this number at all.

It is very clear how many people there are in Liu Jin Factory, the scale of 2,000 people is 20 times that of Caiyun Textile Factory, and it stands to reason that this output should be about 20 times that of Caiyun Textile Factory, which is about 3,000 pieces of cloth.

But now Liu Jin actually said that their weekly output reached 50,000 horses, which is more than ten times that of 3,000 horses, and the difference in numbers is too big, so big that people feel that Liu Jin is just bragging indiscriminately, without a word of truth.

"It's impossible, 50,000 pieces of cloth can be woven in a week, which is too much."

Wang Gui also nodded and said, they are the old men of this industry, and the output of the Caiyun Textile Factory managed and produced by the two of them has not even reached one-tenth of what is here, how can they believe this.
