The third uncle, Zhu Zhongli, saw Zhu Shun come in, as if he had seen a savior, and stood up with a smile: "Shun'er, you are here." ”

The third aunt saw that her husband dared to stand up, but she turned against him, looked up and glared at him, just saw Zhu Shun, and a smile appeared on her face: "Shun'er is here, hurry up and sit in the house." ”

Zhu Shun naturally sat on the threshold, turned his head and greeted with a smile: "Third aunt, don't talk about the third uncle." ”

"Don't worry, in a few days, the third uncle will be able to earn you a lot of money to support my younger brothers."

The most promising thing in their old Zhu family is Zhu Shun, since Zhu Shun became an official, the three aunts and their three daughters-in-law of the Zhu family have become the most powerful people in the village.

In the past, the eldest daughter-in-law who liked to speak ill of their three sisters the most, now let alone chewing her tongue behind her back, she has to take a detour when she sees them.

Take pulp washing clothes as an example, in the past, the servants of the eldest daughter-in-law's family were pulp washing in the upstream, and now the upstream has become a special pulp washing place for the old Zhu family.

No matter what Zhu Shun said, the third aunt believed it 10,000, and immediately smiled from ear to ear: "Look at how talented Shun'er is, why are the children of our family so unsuccessful." ”

Zhu Shun is the most relaxed in front of the third uncle on weekdays, his father is not at home all the year round in order to make money, and the second uncle is a taciturn person, so the third uncle used to like to play with him.

Basically, the third uncle who can play has taken him to play, and the childhood in Zhu Shun's memory is very happy, with three elders who love him, and six younger brothers who help him fight.

Zhu Shun gave the third uncle a look, and the other party instantly understood, and said with a smile: "I'll go out to do something, and I won't eat dinner at home." ”

The uncle and nephew walked out of the yard and walked dozens of miles to the bank of the Yongding River on the border of the county.

Here is half a pillar of incense away from the Wang Gong factory in the north, the water is turbulent, as long as the land is leveled and clean, it is an excellent factory.

Zhu Shun stood on the bank of the Yongding River, looked at the turbulent surface of the river, and said happily: "Third uncle, the water-powered spinning machine has been prepared." ”

"The factory is going to open in the next two days, I think anyway, third uncle, you won't be a tooth man now, it's better to come over and help me manage the spinning mill and give you 20% of the dividends."

The third uncle, Zhu Zhongli, has been a tooth man for so many years, and he clearly knows what the dividend is, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, it is right to help you manage the spinning factory, where can I, as an elder, ask for children's money." ”

Zhu Shun already knew that the third uncle would say this, and said seriously: "This money is not for the third uncle, my younger brothers are not young, and they will marry their daughters-in-law in a few years." ”

"If the family has no money, they can't even afford the dowry, who do you say will marry their daughter to our family."

Zhu Zhongli has a total of five sons, and when he thinks of the money for his sons' marriage, he is worried about the fact that he is about to grow gray hair, but he really shouldn't want the children's money.

Usually in a dilemma, he usually giggles and fools the difficulties.

Now there is only silence.

Zhu Shun finalized this matter, and was about to start talking about the establishment of Jenny's spinning factory: "Third uncle, cotton is needed for spinning, and today you go to the nearby Zhuangzi to finalize the supply of cotton." ”

"I'll take a few younger brothers with me later, and I'll install the hydrospinning machine today."

Zhu Zhongli has been working in Yaxing for so many years, and when it comes to the price of cotton, who has the cheapest cotton and whose cotton is the best, immediately appears in his mind.

This incident can just give full play to the advantages of Zhu Zhongliya, and then press the price, turn around and rush to Fangshan County, west of Liangxiang County, to find a member surnamed Zhou.

Zhu Shun's six younger brothers had been waiting at the gate of Wang Gongchang for a long time, and there were more than a dozen farmers from Huangcun, all of whom Zhu Shun had invited to help.

Don't get paid, in this day and age, you can give a stutter.

The most difficult part of installing the hydrospinning machine was to install a waterwheel in the river, and it took two days to completely install the hydrospinning machine.

When these farmers left, Zhu Shun gave each of them an extra bread, just a dough cake, which made them grateful for Dade's continuous gratitude.

This time, the mid-year holiday and the three-day rest of the Mid-Autumn Festival are connected together, and Zhu Shun can rest for a total of four days, which is why he chose these two days to build a factory, and there is plenty of time.

In the afternoon after the installation of the water-powered spinning machine, Zhu Shun's third uncle also came back from Fangshan County, standing on the edge of the Yongding River again, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In the Yongding River, where there was nothing yesterday, there is now a huge waterwheel with an axle in the middle of the waterwheel, which is connected to the shore.

There is also a waterwheel-style runner on the shore, this runner is smaller, and there is a transmission belt on the runner, through which the whole spinning machine is driven.

Zhu Zhongli can be regarded as well-informed, and what shocked him the most was that a hundred spindles could be placed on this spinning machine.

Zhu Zhongli has a natural sensitivity to money, he doesn't use pen and paper, but he quickly calculates how much silver he can earn in a month: "Good girl, just this spinning machine, if you remove all kinds of costs, you can earn at least more than twenty-five taels a month." ”

"It's more than two hundred taels of silver a year, not to mention that I earned it with my own hands, and I have never seen so much silver."

Zhu Shun smiled, the scientists of this era, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and others are all poor, but in their own era, the most profitable companies are all technology companies.

Technology is money.

This water-powered spinning machine is equivalent to a hundred women, and this is only a superficial calculation, the spinning machine used by the women also uses manpower, and they have to rest when they are tired.

The water-powered spinning machine uses water power, and there is no such thing as rest, and the actual output is more than the output of a hundred women.

In addition, without counting the time that needs to be stopped for eating, farming, illness, etc., the water-powered spinning machine can do 365 days a year, all year round.

Zhu Shun walked to the spinning machine and taught the third uncle how to operate this hydraulic spinning machine, and when the third uncle had almost learned, he thought about it and said: "Third uncle, when cotton is spun into a spinning yarn, you need to twist the cotton into cotton strips by hand first." ”

"I probably need to ask two women to twist the cotton slivers, and another woman needs to watch the spinning machine, and pick up the broken yarn in time when there is a broken yarn."

Zhu Zhongli knows a lot about the spinning workshop, and once for three months, he helped an outsider contact the buyer and asked a key question: "How to calculate the monthly money." ”

How much money is per month, Zhu Shun has already thought about it: "Three dollars of silver a month." ”

"Three money!" Zhu Zhongli's eyes widened: "Shun'er, do you know that a sergeant of our Ming Dynasty only has four dollars of silver a month." ”

"It's too much, just give five cents of silver."
