He Zhiyuan said to Lu Chuanmei and He Zhiyuan: "Lu Chuanmei is right, this kind of machine will change the industry. Its emergence will inevitably have a huge impact on the traditional textile industry. What I can do is to try to reduce this impact and delay the arrival of this impact on the premise of improving the living standards of the residents of Hejia Town. So I asked all the weavers to keep it a secret and not to spread this new type of loom around. On the one hand, it is for the sake of commercial secrecy, and on the other hand, it is to mitigate this impact so that the traditional textile industry in other places can continue to survive. ”

After listening to He Zhiyuan's remarks, the two nodded as if they didn't understand, and then said: "Don't worry, we won't tell this kind of spinning wheel and loom." ”

Next, He Zhiyuan asked Lu Chuanmei: "Next month, the spinning mill will start, you go to the spinning mill to be a master, first teach the first batch of dozens of female workers to learn to use this spinning machine, if you teach well, let you be a workshop supervisor, five taels of silver per month plus the performance of the entire workshop." What do you think? ”

When Lu Chuanmei heard this, she closed her mouth happily and immediately replied, "Okay, no problem." I'm going to teach them. Then he hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Is the proprietor going to select the first batch of female workers from the textile mill?" ”

"Yes, the first fifty people are going to be selected from the textile mills." He Zhiyuan replied.

"Can I recommend someone to go to the spinning mill?" Lu Chuanmei asked cautiously.

"Oh? The person you recommend will also yarn? Why do you recommend her? He Zhiyuan asked suspiciously.

"She is Du Yueqin, she entered the factory with me, she studied very seriously and hard, and now she is an apprentice. She also spun yarn when she was in her hometown. Lu Chuanmei replied respectfully.

He Zhiyuan glanced at He Zhizhen, He Zhizhen immediately understood, and hurriedly introduced: "Du Yueqin and Lu Chuanmei are both Hou Fengjiao's apprentices, she is indeed very hardworking, and she learns very quickly, and she will leave the apprenticeship period within five days of coming to work." ”

He Zhiyuan nodded and said, "That's very good, as long as it is suitable, you can consider her going to the spinning factory." Then he asked Lu Chuanmei: "But you recommended her for another reason, right?" ”

Lu Chuanmei replied in a low voice: "When I was in Chaoyi, on the night of the earthquake, Du Yueqin's mother-in-law insisted on living in the grass hut, and the whole village followed her to learn from her to save her life. It was my sister-in-law who went back to her mother's house overnight and told us not to go back to the house to sleep on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and our whole family survived. ”

"In this way, it was Du Yueqin's mother-in-law who indirectly saved your family's life. There is nothing wrong with knowing that you are grateful, but work is work, and human favor is human favor, and this must be clearly distinguished. Do you understand? He Zhiyuan said.

"Understood." Lu Chuanmei realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly admitted her mistake: "I know that I was wrong, and I won't make this kind of mistake in the future." ”

He Zhiyuan said this firstly to educate Lu Chuanmei, and on the other hand, he also meant that He Zhizhen listened, so that they could understand that work and life were separated, otherwise it would be easy to make mistakes, and it would be a big trouble to manage in the future, which must be prevented in advance.

"It's good to recognize the mistake, and I'll consider your recommendation. In the future, it is necessary to recommend candidates to separate life and work. He Zhiyuan warned again.

After He Zhizhen and Lu Chuanmei left, He Zhiyuan immediately began to arrange the manufacture of this new spinning machine. From a technical point of view, this spinning machine has a simple structure and no technical difficulties. He just had to find Ding Sihai and tell him to go down.

This time he plans to build 800 of these spinning machines, and at the same time build another 300 flying shuttle looms to meet the needs of some weavers to work overtime. On the one hand, the extra 300 machines can be replaced immediately in the event of a machine failure, without delaying production. On the other hand, weavers who want to work overtime can use these 300 machines to work overtime, after all, these victims need money and are eager to improve their living conditions. And He Zhiyuan does not have to worry about the sales of cotton yarn and cotton cloth at all, compared with the traditional handicraft industry, the products produced by He Zhiyuan are far higher than them. At the same price, handmade products are not competitive.

Five days later, the first batch of 50 spinning machines was built, and Ho Zhiyuan installed them in an idle workshop in the textile mill. Fifty weavers who knew how to spin were then selected to learn how to use the new spinning machine. Of course, Du Yueqin is also among these fifty people, since Lu Chuanmei recommended her, it is impossible for He Zhiyuan to wipe her face, the most important thing is that Du Yueqin does perform well and meets the standards for going to the spinning factory.

When Du Yueqin heard the news, she gave Lu Chuanmei a grateful smile. Hou Fengjiao said proudly to the two of them: "These two apprentices of mine are so good, and my face as a master also has a light." When I got to the spinning mill, I worked hard and tried to buy a small house here as soon as possible and move to the town to live. ”

The two said happily: "It will be, in the future, we will all leave the grass shed area and be neighbors in the city and county!" ”

Several people laughed and laughed, full of hope and confidence for their future lives!

He Zhiyuan gathered these fifty people together, and he stood on a low table that was a head taller than them, and he could overlook everyone. Then he said loudly: "You answer me, three or four taels of monthly money, a meal of meat, and working four hours a day, is this kind of treatment good enough?" ”

These women used to be poor farmers who were victims of the earthquake. Not to mention that they have three or four taels of wages a month, they can't earn so much silver in a year. Hearing He Zhiyuan's question, these people replied one after another:

"We couldn't have imagined this kind of treatment before!"

"The treatment given by the owner is so good, we will settle here in the future!"

"Where to find such a good treatment in Shaanxi! When I entered the textile factory, I could straighten my back in front of my neighbors. ”

Hearing the answers of these weavers, He Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, then cleared his throat and asked, "Since you are satisfied with the treatment here, do you want to maintain such treatment for a long time?" ”

The crowd replied:

"Of course."

"Who wouldn't want to be a fool!"

"That is, I still want to work here for a long time, buy a house in the town for two years, and send my children to study in the school!"

He Zhiyuan listened to their answers, and then continued: "If you want to maintain this kind of treatment for a long time, you must remember one thing, you must not discuss the machines of textile factories and spinning mills, and you must not reveal the secrets of these machines to outsiders. Only in this way can we make enough money to maintain such treatment! ”

"Once someone violates the confidentiality regulations, they will definitely be swept away!"

"I emphasize again, if you reveal a little bit of the machine in the factory to others, immediately sweep the floor and go out!"

Hearing He Zhiyuan's serious warning, these weavers did not dare to speak. For a moment, the more than fifty people standing below fell silent.

He Zhiyuan asked loudly, "Do you understand?" ”

Hearing He Zhiyuan's inquiry, everyone replied loudly:

"We get it!"

"Don't worry, we understand."

"We will never betray our host!"

Hearing everyone's answers, He Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "It's good to understand." Okay, let's go into the workshop and start getting acquainted with the new spinning machine! ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Chuanmei led the weavers into the workshop. Although Lu Chuanmei has not been in the factory for a month, her reputation is even louder than that of old employees. After He Zhiyuan promised her the position of workshop supervisor, she worked even harder.

After returning home from work that day, she told He Zhiyuan's words to her in-laws, and her in-laws' illness was immediately cured. The mother-in-law said: "Tiezhu mother, you just have to focus on the workshop, we take care of the children and housework, you don't have to worry about it." ”

After hearing this, Lu Chuanmei almost burst into tears, since marrying into the Guo family, this is the first time she has heard her in-laws say such things. It also gave her dignity and self-confidence in this family!

Therefore, she secretly decided that she must do a good job, so that her husband's family, her mother's family, relatives, friends, and neighbors can take a good look, my Lu Chuanmei is good! Women are not vases, they are not vassals of men, they are not wall paintings at the mercy of others!

During the training, Lu Chuanmei explained every movement in detail to everyone, and taught her experience and experience without reservation. These fifty weavers were originally self-motivated, hard-working and excellent weavers, and they were even more serious and hard-working in their studies. In addition, they were extremely surprised to see this kind of spinning machine with 20 spindles, where had they ever seen a spinning machine with such high efficiency, and they were shocked by the owner, that is, He Zhiyuan, some young girls and daughters-in-law regarded him as an idol in their hearts, and naturally they would study and practice hard with all their hearts.

Seeing Lu Chuanmei's conscientious training and the serious and hard work of these fifty weavers, He Zhiyuan was satisfied, and he could completely hand over the training here to Lu Chuanmei.

As long as the spinning mill is successfully built, He Zhiyuan only needs to purchase cotton that has been seeded to supply cotton yarn to the textile mill, and the remaining cotton yarn can be sold through the Liujia family in Zhoucun. It is difficult to say whether the He family and the Zou family of Zhou Village can take advantage of the business war of accumulating cotton yarn.

For He Zhiyuan, it is much cheaper to buy seeded cotton than to buy cotton yarn, and he can earn a lot of profits that originally belonged to cotton yarn merchants!

In the past few days, He Zhiyuan has been in the textile factory, he inspected the workshops one by one, and saw that the workers are working very hard, and the workers who are learning to spin are also studying hard and hard, and the whole factory is running at a high speed, he is very satisfied!

At this moment, Qian Heng, the deputy inspector of the Inspection Division, found He Zhiyuan and said to him: "Gongzi He, our Inspection Department has found several outsiders with suspicious behavior around the town. ”
