Are you kidding!

In any industry, there is a leader, for Shi Yiwen, what he needs is to grasp the core, what is the core of the textile industry? It's spinning!

Without yarn, you can't weave cloth. Of course, there is no weaving industry, and the yarn that is spun naturally is useless waste. The two are complementary to each other, but ...... The profits of spinning are much higher than weaving, after all, weaving is a labor-intensive industry.

Even until a few hundred years later, before the liberation, the domestic industrialists were also heavy yarn and light cloth, and even had the saying of "cloth loss", the cheap machine yarn produced by the yarn factory promoted the development of homespun cloth, what Gaoyang, Zhouzhuang and other places of homespun cloth, all benefited from this.

Today, although weaving is still profitable, it is far less than spinning.

It is difficult to gain weight alone, and it can even be fatal!

Releasing some scattered "small business" can not only strengthen itself, but also promote a group, why is the Jiangnan gentry group strong, because they are never a person, but a group.

The power of the individual is limited, but the power of the group is infinite.

The fundamental core of the growth of modern enterprises is to grasp the big and let go of the small, through the appropriate support to establish a group of downstream enterprises that depend on the survival of leading enterprises, is the foundation of the rapid development of the group, after all, personal financial resources, manpower are limited.

A local "local tyrant" like the Liu family is exactly what Shi Yiwen needs, and since he has found the door, he should naturally not miss it.

"Uncle's meaning, is it for our family to run a weaving factory?"

What does it feel like to be called uncle by someone older than you? Others Shi Yiwen didn't know, but when Liu Yiming called him uncle, he laughed.

How many years older than yourself...... What's the matter?

"Yes, the yarn spun for Uncle here always needs to be woven into cloth, and if there is a yarn factory, there must naturally be a cloth factory. Otherwise, the yarn would be useless. ”

Looking at Liu Yiming, who was standing in front of him, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Besides, compared to spinning, this weaving is easier, so, go back to Uncle Wei asked a few weavers from Songjiang to come over, teach you to weave, step by step, first weave plain cloth, and then weave twill, and then dye cloth, monochrome cloth, flower cloth, and can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

When the father and son of the Liu family were busy running a weaving factory while inviting the people to plant cotton, a new problem was put in front of Shi Yiwen.

"You're saying none of these parts are up to standard?"

Looking at these parts in front of him, these parts are flintlock parts, and even with the naked eye, you can see that these parts are slightly deformed.

Although this is a factory, but for this factory Shi Yiwen did not have too much expectations, in addition to the barrel is with the help of water, iron with the help of water, in fact, most of the production, are manual operations, mechanical operations are rare, although the factory already has a simple lathe, for the smoothbore flintlock pistol, these equipment is enough to meet its production, after all, in another time and space, the French arsenal relied on a group of blacksmiths, carpenters to make more than 7 million 1777 rifles. After all, there are no minor errors with flintlock pistols.

Sun Zedong bowed and said.

"Childe, you see, this movement is too soft, but after only trying dozens of times, the bayonet is a little deformed, it must have been careless when quenching."

Looking at the slightly deformed bayonet, Shi Yiwen once again examined the flintlock machine, which completely refers to the composition of the 1777 rifle, with a total of only a dozen parts, these parts are all made by blacksmiths, and there are not many requirements for the precision of manufacturing, and the only thing that affects the quality is the skill of the craftsman.

"If I'm not mistaken, when we make these parts in the factory, they are all made by the master, and the apprentice is done, right?"

Putting down the flint machine, Shi Yiwen asked.

"That's right, the owner, it's all like that."

In the workshop, the apprentice learns under the oral teaching of the master, focusing on the transfer of experience and the mastery of skills, and the spread of skills can only be expanded in a small area, and the disadvantage of this teaching is also obvious, that is, skilled craftsmen and quality can not meet the needs of expanding production.

"A flintlock like this is made by a master with his son or apprentice at one time, right?"

The answer is, of course, yes, after all, the flintlock machine still has requirements for the coordination of the parts, they are adjusted according to the parts made, each flintlock machine looks the same, but the actual size is very different, there is no way, after all, they are all handmade.

For what division of production, Shi Yiwen will not even think about it, unless he gets the dozens of machine tools out of the space, it is simply delusional, the premise of the division of labor production is precision machine tools, measuring tools, Whitney decades ago, the British made a 0.001-inch micrometer, a series of machine tools with measuring tools have also been applied, there is no certain technical accumulation, division of labor production, mutual interchangeability is to negotiate.

But not necessarily, after getting a positive answer, Shi Yiwen looked at the parts and said.

"If that's right, our craftsmen must have skilled hands, some fresh hands, you see, can we change these parts to cast iron ......"

Pointing to the flintlock casing, rain shield and other parts, Shi Yiwen looked at Sun Zedong and asked.

"Iron instead of steel" almost any engineering student, know that this is the special period of Chinese characteristics, the use of iron castings instead of machined steel parts, is widely used in a variety of mechanical equipment, although the life has been reduced, but in most places are acceptable. Like the gears and motor axles of the rock loader, cast iron parts can be used, not to mention the flintlock machine parts, of course, the cast iron of this era is certainly not as good as the alloy cast iron of another time and space, but it is only wrought iron that needs to be replaced.

Sometimes, all that's missing is an idea. Just like the wrought iron of the water millennium, the Chinese people who invented the water millennium almost never thought of using it to forge iron.

"Cast iron?"

"Yes, I think some parts don't necessarily have to be made of wrought iron, but they must also be cast in iron......"

"But, owner, this cast iron is too brittle, and the strength of this spring is so strong, can this be done?"

"Then just deal with it."

The so-called treatment is actually the toughening treatment of cast iron, which is to anneal and toughen the white pig iron casting, increase the toughness of the cast iron, so that the casting can be cut and added. The cast iron toughening technology is not complicated, it is just a matter of adding a smoldering furnace to the factory.

However, before that, it was necessary to manufacture standard parts, and then use them as molds to recast the required parts, which were made of wood, and finally Chen Carpenter, with his superior manual skills, made a set of slightly coarser wooden flintlock parts out of pine.

When turning the mold, Shi Yiwen directly chose the sand mold, not because there is high-quality river sand by the Lugou River, but because compared with the long drying required by the mud fan casting, the sand mold casting does not need to wait, and it can be cast at any time, which is simple and fast.

However, even such a simple technique still made Zhang Sixi, who had been a blacksmith all his life, say.

"Make a fan cast thing out of sand? Is this possible? ”

Obviously, for them, they don't believe that they can make things out of sand at all.

In this regard, Shi Yiwen did not defend himself, but instructed the workers to prepare things to make sand molds, and sometimes the explanation was far less convincing than the actual operation.

After making the sand mold, watching Zhang Sixi and them pour molten iron into the casting hole, after a while, when the sand mold was broken and the hot casting was falling, Shi Yiwen only heard a sound of surprise around him.

"This, this sand can really be a model!"

"But no, it's too fast, I usually use mud, and I have to dry it in the shade for a few months......"

"Look, good fellow, there are no trachoma ...... on it"

Listening to everyone's surprised voices, Shi Yiwen looked at Zhang Sixi and asked,

"Well, how do you see these things?"

"Childe is smart, small, small has nothing to say!"

This time Zhang Sixi was really convinced, and when he was surprised, he listened to the owner's instructions again.

"Cast a few hundred more, and send them to the furnace for processing later, so as to save the fire."
