Chapter 42: The Light Curtain is New

Generally speaking, the wider the width of the cloth, the lower the production efficiency, but the use of the wide cloth is greater, such as the famous brocade cloth in Nanjing has a width of about one meter two, because to make some of the wide cloth, this loom will reduce the efficiency, or increase the labor, not a single person can complete.

Because of the lack of cloth, Li Jing's wide grey cloth in addition to each store put a large horse for exhibition, Zanbu for sale, Jinling large dyeing workshops sold a large number of horses, and left more than 100 horses in his hand to prepare for display in Suzhou, Yangzhou and other big cities. Such a wide cloth can meet almost any need to use cloth, and it is a pure white grey cloth that can be printed and dyed as needed. It's very convenient.

The loom designed by Li Jing comes from the advanced concept of later generations, and the woven cloth is very light and smooth, with a faint satin-like texture. There are very few guillotine threads, and the joints are basically not visible, and it is very smooth and comfortable to wear on the body. If the spinning technology can be improved later, spinning more than 40 yarns, the cotton cloth will have a greater improvement.

Afraid of comparing goods, the Susong generation was the highest-tech cotton textile center in the Ming Dynasty, and the grey cloth woven by the best female workers was compared with the wide grey cloth of the Li family. Orders from major dyeing houses poured in quickly. But Li Jing pushed down the second quarter, and there are simply not enough looms to supply.

During the Spring Festival of the first year of the Apocalypse, Li Jing spent it in Jinling, and according to the custom of later generations, he wrapped a red envelope for each of the Li family's employees in Jinling, and personally distributed it to everyone. Then take the two sisters and the four maids, Bai Yu and the sword as the host to entertain all the people in Jinling to charter a mid-range restaurant by the Qinhuai River, and have a hearty lunch together on the 30th of the lunar month.

These grassroots guys, stewards, shopkeepers, and big shopkeepers usually live very frugally, Li Jing eats and stays, and he doesn't spend money if he can. People in this era come out to earn money, eager to save every big money, and go home at the end of the year, their wives and children are waiting for it, and they are reluctant to spend it if they have money, so they keep their daughters-in-law for their children and save dowry. If there is any leftover, buy land and live a little bit of life.

In their opinion, saving a lot of money is equivalent to earning a lot of money. Their ideas and consumption concepts are completely different from Li Jing's sisters and brothers, Li Jing felt the difference through this period of contact with them, no matter what you do, you must understand each other's ideas in order to be able to do things well. These employees know that it is not easy to find something to do, they all cherish it, and they are usually diligent. The old shopkeeper also manages things conscientiously and in an orderly manner. The tent room was so complicated during this period of time, and there was no difference, and Li Jing was still very satisfied.

Since everyone satisfied Li Jing, Li Jing naturally let everyone have a happy New Year. After eating, Li Jing announced that Wumart Department Store would have a seven-day holiday for everyone to go home for the New Year. The eighth day of the first lunar month is the opening. This time some cloth was deliberately left, regardless of grade, each person has a homespun cloth and a grey cloth. There was also a small jar of twenty pounds of rapeseed oil. It was the first time for the employees of the Li family to receive so many benefits, and they were all moved.

After receiving the things, when the men were about to disperse, Li Jing announced to everyone that he was going to recruit people on a large scale, and when you returned home, there were children of good families with good conduct in the village, over fourteen years old and under twenty-five years old. Welcome to Jinling Lijia shop to find a job, you need clerks, blacksmiths, carpenters, shipbuilders, porters, homekeepers, sailors, iron-smelting workshop workers, miners. Preferential treatment. If not selected, a round-trip fare will be granted. The guys all said yes.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was keeping the New Year, and Li Jing made a pair of mahjong and rubbed it with his two sisters and four maids. The two sisters learned to play cards very quickly, played for a while, and asked the four maids to accompany the two sisters to play cards, and went to the yard to breathe. By the way, the development after the year.

Taking advantage of the absence of others, he was trying to sort out his thoughts, Li Jing suddenly became addicted to smoking, he was an old smoker before, and he hadn't smoked for a long time here. Li Jingyi touched his pocket cleaner than his face, there should have been tobacco from the Americas in this era, but I don't know where it is, anyway, it can't be found here for a while.

was scratching his heart and lungs, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the light curtain opened automatically. There are not many cases where the light curtain opens automatically, and it is usually a big event that happens. Li Jing hurriedly asked the customer service sister, "Is something wrong?" ”

"The good news is that you may have turned on the Premium Pricing in advance, and a special feature of the Advanced Pricing was activated when the shuttle reached the first stage of charging."

"What is the function, is there another good thing to purchase," Li Jing asked in surprise.

"The situation in this place of Jinling is a bit special, it seems that there is an aura that I don't know about, emanating from the Purple Mountain, and when I get here, the charge suddenly accelerates, this kind of aura seems to be called Wang Qi here. Originally, the royal qi that came down the capital was gathered in the area of Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion in Jiangdong, and then the royal qi in Jiangdong seemed to be running to Beijing along the Grand Canal. During this time, after arriving in Jinling, the shuttle directly intercepted all the royal qi, and all of it was used to recharge. As of this point today, the first stage of top-up has been completed. ”

"So fast, isn't it going to be able to use the shuttle soon?"

"Don't report such great hope for the host, the shuttle is full of energy early, and the higher the energy required to upgrade in the future, it is all geometric data growth."

"I can't tell you what this Wang Qi is, and I don't know if it has an impact on Beijing, so I don't need to worry about it. When the sky fell, there was a tall man on top of it, and he drowned the man first when he crossed the river. ”

"Host, you are humorous, and the good news is that cyborgs are unlocked, and you can buy cyborgs according to the type of shelf brightening, and these cyborgs are absolutely at your command. 100% trust."

"Great, I'll see what types are available" Li Jing clicked on the light curtain, and a total of twelve lowest-level professional attributes appeared. There are twelve types of bodyguards, religious priests, soldiers, non-commissioned officers, craftsmen, doctors, music dancers, scientific researchers, teachers, captains, sailors, and gunners, all of whom are marked as first-class cyborgs. It seems that these are the lowest-level cyborgs. The price is not expensive, only 1,000 yuan each. And there is no limit to the quantity, as long as you have gold to exchange coins, you can buy and buy. But Li Jing really didn't dare to spend money indiscriminately. God knows what else to spend money on behind the scenes. And a large amount of gold is not easy to find, and gold is not available on the market at all. There are also black second-level cyborgs, third-level cyborgs, etc., it seems that you need to buy too low-level cyborgs before they light up, and you can't see the price, but it is estimated that it will definitely be more expensive.

"Host, you have begun to gain a firm foothold in Jinling, do you want to use this place as an important base of activities in the future?"

"Yes, with a population of 5 million, Jinling is the largest and most prosperous city in the world in this era, with the world's largest consumption potential, and it has not been affected by war in the next 24 years, so it is a very good development base."

"What the host said makes sense, I just scanned it, and the total population within the full name of the quadruple city wall is more than 4 million, and the population in the suburbs is nearly 2 million. A very large city indeed. ”

"With the expansion of business, you need to make friends with the government, and at the same time, you need to have the power to protect yourself, I think this is also a kind of protection for the host of the trading platform, after all, your performance should be very high among the junior hosts."

"The cyborg people are not in a hurry, I will think about it first, but at present, my contact with Taohuawu is too inconvenient, the Hanjiang River Basin is the real foundation of my Li Jing, and I must control it, and I want to build Nanao Island as a key base. I need a very quick way to get in touch. I don't know if you have anything for sale here. ”
