I have to say!

If you have money to do things, this efficiency is high!

However, after more than ten days, Xu Guangqi made up a thousand new spinning machines, and these spinning machines were naturally all transported to the hands of the fat man of Xuanfu, and the fat man's mouth was about to laugh.

This new spinning machine, where is the machine? It's clearly a golden ingot!

Qian Fat Man was almost stunned, the first time he saw this kind of spinning machine, such a thousand spinning machines, if they spin yarn at the same time, it will be like a spider spitting gold thread.

As soon as the spinning machine arrived, he built several large factories, and cement factories rose from the ground, spacious and magnificent.

The spinners were all recruited from the neighborhood, not that the male workers were bad, but that the spinning and weaving of cloth were indeed more suitable for women.

The salary given by the fat man is also high, almost two taels of silver a month, and there are four days of rest in January, where can I find such a good boss?

As soon as the spinning mill was put into operation, it began to produce a steady stream of wool threads, which were then woven into all kinds of sweaters, trousers, and even woolen socks by their own industrious women.

These things sell very well, and they are basically snatched up by merchants from all over the world as soon as they leave the factory, and then distributed to thousands of households.

Of course......

There are also merchants who buy wool thread directly and sell it to ingenious women, who will pick up the wool yarn and poke two stitches in their spare time, and buy sweaters and pants for their husbands and children for the winter, and have a good time!

It's only a few months......

Wool not only changed the lives of the common people in the Ming Dynasty, but also made Xuanfu a wool town, and its reputation as a military town was not so loud.

Now the fat man has become a celebrity + living bodhisattva in Xuanfu, all of them are praised, loved by everyone, and some families even set up a longevity card for him, praying every day that he can live a long life.

You must know that the Xuanfu real estate is not abundant, and there are often military disasters, and the lives of the common people are more bitter, although under the governance of Lu Xiangsheng, there is no starvation, but they also have to worry about food every day.

And most of the women in this era are wrapped in small feet, doing housework at home, and few can make money.

But?

Although silk is extremely expensive, raw silk is extremely cheap, and women can't make a lot of money by raising silkworms for a year.

Besides, there is little land to grow grain, how can there be so many mulberry fields, ordinary families can't raise many silkworms at all, and they can barely pay for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

There are also ingenious women who can spin and weave cloth, but most of the women weave homespun cloth, which is thick and thick, and it is not worth a few dollars, because women can't make money, and the heavy responsibility of supporting the family falls on the men, and the pressure on men can be imagined?

And the fat man's factory solves the problem of employment for many women, which virtually reduces the pressure on men to make money to support their families.

Of course, what everyone didn't know was that the fat man didn't want to give the workers such a good treatment at all, and he felt that even if he only gave 500 copper coins a month, these workers would work hard.

But His Majesty the Emperor gave a death order, that the treatment of the workers must be guaranteed, and two taels of silver is the minimum standard, otherwise they will be rolled out of the wool textile industry.

The fat man is dissatisfied......

But this is His Majesty's order of the Emperor, as long as it is the order of His Majesty the Emperor, it must be carried out to the letter, otherwise it will be thundered and struck, so the fat man did not cheat at all.

Later, one after another, Xu Guangqi invented the hydraulic loom, which can weave wool, and the efficiency is quite amazing.

Now it is the autumn and winter season, sweaters and pants are easy to sell, wool is even easier to sell, this new style of cloth has been welcomed by the people as soon as it came out, and the fat man has naturally earned countless silver, as if he has become a rich man in Xuanfu.

And Huang Liangchen also smiled crookedly, you must know that he accounts for the majority of the shares, and he can make money by lying down.

The rest of the businessmen, large and small, who followed the fat man, have also developed, and they all make a lot of money.

Of course, some people are happy and some people are sad.

The businessmen who didn't do anything with the fat man now regret it, and they can only watch others get rich and eat the soil themselves.

Especially Wan Chunyu, he has lost his blood this year and owes a lot of debt.

Wan Chunyu is engaged in cloth trading, this year he took a large number of goods from Songjiang, but now he can't sell them at all, and finally he can only reduce the price, which is a little bit back.

This year's winter is very cold, but many people live quite warmly, in previous years, it was difficult for ordinary people to buy a set of winter clothes, cloth and cotton are not cheap.

If you are poor and mud-legged, many people cannot afford to buy a set of winter clothes for the rest of their lives, and a large cotton jacket can be worn for decades until it is completely decayed.

The children also pick up the clothes of adults to wear, and they wear them from generation to generation, winter clothes are too expensive, and they have no money in their hands!

This year is different, sweaters and pants are warm and lightweight, it is very convenient to wear and work, and the wool tweed looks good in the wind, regardless of whether the rich or poor like it.

Especially the sweater and pants are simply too good, in previous years, when the people spent the winter, they were a single coat, and the outer kit was a big cotton jacket, looking bulging, in fact, it was not hot at all.

This year, I wore a sweater and pants, and then put on wool tweed, a big cotton jacket, and it was warmer, and the most important thing is that it was cheap, and most people could afford it.

And the soldiers on the frontier are also dressed very warmly, in previous years, under their cold armor, they wore single clothes, shivering in the cold wind, I don't know how many soldiers are frozen to death every year? Now His Majesty is merciful, and one person has two sets of thick sweaters, woolen pants, woolen socks, and the clothes are light and warm.

Everyone was warm......

It is?

Chongzhen's concubines are all about to freeze into dogs, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor abused them?

No, Chongzhen prepared five sets of gorgeous Yunjin winter coats for each of the concubines this year, colorful cotton jackets, five sets of big fur and small fur skins, mink skins, fox skins, silver mouse skins, beaver skins, lynx skins, etc.

There are also all kinds of extravagant cloaks, embroidered with gold and fur, which are of great value.

Why are all sizes smaller?

The concubines can't get into it even if they tuck their stomachs and raise their buttocks, and they can't wear gorgeous winter clothes, so they have to wear summer clothes, won't they freeze into dogs?
