I'm busy with big things!

Recently, Shi Yiwen has indeed been busy with big things and running a yarn factory.

Because the yarn mill is related to the rise of the north, he is naturally very concerned, from the construction of the factory, to the construction of the waterwheel, it can be said that he has personally done it, and the waterwheel of the yarn factory is also different from the arsenal, the frame is made of bricks and stones, and the soil and cement joints. Of course, the cement was obtained from the space construction site, and originally he wanted to make cement from the slag of the iron factory, but for various reasons, it was just an idea.

At the same time as the construction of factory buildings, waterwheels and other infrastructure, in the Lugou Iron Factory, after repeated trial production, the trial production of the "mule machine", that is, the spindle spinning machine, which combined the Jenny yarn machine and the water conservancy yarn machine, was finally successful. After repeated trials and tests to determine that the yarn could be spinned, the iron factory immediately went all out to produce the spinning machine, and in about a month, 20 sets of 400 spindle worsted spinning machines were finally installed in the building just across the wall from the iron factory.

At the same time, the basic training of female workers in the yarn mill was completed. By mid-April, all 20 spinning machines had been installed and the mill was ready to start working.

However, before the start of work, Shi Yiwen of course recruited more than 100 factory workers in the factory to meet with him, they are all female workers, one or two or five yuan a month, one or two and a half yuan a month, one lunch a day, and meat treatment the next day, which is really not bad in this year. After all, it is Qi Jiguang's soldiers, and his salary is only more than one or two a month. Because of this, when recruiting female apprentices in the factory, people from all over the surrounding towns were immediately attracted to rush here, but in the end, most of them were blocked by one of the conditions, in addition to the requirement of rough writing and ink, literacy, the most important one is - Tianzu.

Because of the requirement for female workers, many women were blocked from the door, and in the end, more than 100 women of different ages became the lucky ones.

According to the usual practice, before the start of the yarn factory, to burn incense, to set off guns, to pick auspicious times, after such a reheating, Shi Yiwen stood in the factory, looking at more than 100 female workers in front of him, and the female workers also looked at him, although he looked handsome and handsome, but these big girls and little daughters-in-law also knew the disparity in identity, at most they just blushed and looked at them a few more times, Shi Yiwen didn't care about this, but said loudly to them.

"Everyone, from now on, it will be the workers of my Dasheng Yarn Factory, a monthly salary of one or two or five dollars a month, Shi will definitely not be less than everyone, but the iron factory next to our factory is the same, it is more work and more rewards, if you work more, earn two taels of silver a month, it is no problem, if there are lazy and slippery, the factory will naturally not raise idlers!"

Some things always need to be said in the front, such as factory regulations, and other regulations, but it is necessary to repeatedly emphasize that in a modern factory, the most important thing is discipline.

"When we were training, we all saw that our yarn machine is powered by the rotation of the waterwheel, as long as the waterwheel rotates, the yarn machine will not stop, and your work is very simple, that is, to continue the sliver, continue the yarn, and replace the spindle, but if you are distracted, the thread is broken, the spindle is finished, and the output will naturally not reach the quota, and when the time comes, it will be the ...... to deduct wages."

Hearing Shi Yiwen's words, these female workers replied one after another:

"Please rest assured, we will never be lazy!"

"It's said that the salary given by the owner is so high, if you are lazy, then you will be sorry for the owner!"

Most of these female workers come to their nearby villages, because of the high wages, they are naturally very attentive to this job, where they dare to be lazy, and even keep in mind the factory rules, for fear of accidentally being fired, after all, a monthly salary of one or two or five is a big labor, and they can't earn so much silver.

Shi Yiwen was very satisfied with the answers of the female workers in the yarn factory. Then he said a few words of reassurance, and then said.

"Today is a good day for the factory to start, after everyone gets off work, they will receive 50 yuan of happy money, not much money, and they will have fun."

The real money naturally made these big girls and little daughters-in-law rejoice, and some bold little daughters-in-law and big girls looked at the already handsome owner, and their eyes lit up.

But after the joy, the work still has to be done, in the female workers into the factory, there with an order, the transmission of the sky axis in the belt driven by the movement, the plant of the mule machine also run, in the traction roller of the traction, the cotton sliver into the yarn quickly wrapped around the spindle, and the female workers are busy in front of the yarn machine running back and forth, from time to time to pull the thread, continue the cotton.

Although it is only a water-powered machine, it still spins at an astonishing speed, but now Shi Yiwen looks at the appearance of the female workers running, and his brow is furrowed from time to time.

"Aunt Liang, look at their sleeves and skirts."

Pointing to those female workers, Shi Yiwen said to Aunt Liang beside him.

"It's okay with narrow sleeves, but the skirt is too wide, if it rolls into the machine or belt, there will definitely be a problem, so I will ask Qing'er and them to make two clothes, and let the factory find a garment factory in the city to make one for each of them, and the money will come out of the factory."

Aunt Liang is a slave in Zhuangzi, her ancestor is from Nanzhili, and she can spin and weave cloth herself, because the factory is full of female workers, so she became the supervisor in the workshop.

"Young master, you are really kind, they can touch the young master, but they really burned a good incense in their last life."

Aunt Liang, who has a pungent personality, said again.

"If any of them dares to tell outsiders the secrets of the factory with a clear conscience, they will surely thunder five times in the sky."

"Secret?"

Shi Yiwen was stunned, looking at Aunt Liang puzzled.

"What's the secret?"

"Young master, it is the secret of our yarn machine, you look at our yarn machine, a machine has 400 spindles, it is said that a machine is 400 tops, but this machine is brought by a waterwheel, the speed of rotation is fast, a spindle spun out of an hour, I spun it for half a day, these 400 spindles, the yarn spun out a day is spun by one or two thousand people, but the yarn spun by the machine is so strong, if you want to be thick and thin, as long as you adjust the machine, this secret can not be known to others."

Aunt Liang's words made Shi Yiwen stunned at first, and after being surprised by her sense of secrecy, he laughed again.

"What Aunt Liang said is reasonable, but ah, you don't know, our spinning machine can't be built even if it opens the door for others to come in and see! After all......"

Looking at the spinning machine in front of him with a smile, Shi Yiwen said triumphantly.

"If the technology is advanced, it can prevent others from copying, not to mention, some of the parts must not be made by outsiders......"
