Chapter 84 Job Opportunities for Women in Jinling

Zhejiang is worthy of being the wealth of the previous dynasties, it is really rich, and Dong Zhonghua bought and bought with a wave of his hand.

The cross spear with the head of the three/prismatic stabbing spear, after testing the terrifying armor-piercing ability of the three-edged thorn on the spot, the triple armor did not need to be directly pierced. Place an order of 5,000 tips, and make a margin of damage.

Imitation light curtain version of Kangxi war knife 4,000 handles. This is easy to use, the handle is rotated and elongated, and the direct length is one meter eight, when the Pu knife is used, it can be waved with both hands without elongation. Good stuff.

There are 4,000 sets of three-millimeter curved shields with fifteen-centimeter-dense spikes on the shield surface. With a sliding viewing window, there are two small wheels that can be pushed and walked, and a pair of brackets with a stationing hoe, which can be assembled and disassembled.

Li Jing made sheepskin rafts, cleaned the remaining wool, and made 4,000 sets of cotton clothes and pants, and 4,000 sets of plate armor. 4,000 sets of fire axes.

I also want to buy Li Jing's brown bass flintlock pistol, this Li Jing can only be sorry and not sell.

Five thousand grenades have been produced so far, and after negotiations, the Zhejiang battalion bought 1,000, Shizhu bought 2,000, and Youyang bought 1,000. Li Jing's own troops left a thousand. Li Jing gave a preferential price, one tael of silver.

The Stone Pillar Army currently brought sixty Gustav leather cannons, all modified in Li Jing's way, capable of firing 12-pounder shells. It is not difficult to destroy the shield car at five or six hundred meters. However, since Aunt Qin didn't mention it, Li Jing naturally wouldn't have much to do. Qin Liangyu privately asked Li Jing to buy 6,000 rounds of 12-pound shot put shells and attached silk medicine packets. After Qin Liangyu's experiment, he still felt that Li Jing's medicine bag was better than more than fifty percent of what he made.

The Zhejiang battalion also learned to make enough fried noodles urgently. Li Jing purchased 4,000 sets of oilcloth sheepskin sleeping bags. 4,000 sets of kettles plus lunch boxes. Four thousand sets of cowhide boots.

It was also the first time they had seen this kind of modern leather boots with left and right feet, and they were very comfortable to wear. In ancient times, shoes were not divided into left and right feet. Loosely dressed, there is no such leather boot to wear neatly.

Li Jing finally sent the satisfied army onto the ship and watched them sail away. Li Jing will also take the Black Pearl yacht to Nanao Island, and the second uncle has a meeting with the leaders of more than 30 pirates. To discuss the matter of taking the opportunity to rob Liaodong, Li Jing must participate.

It was also time for the Nanao Island shipyard to start, Zhang Laosan had already invited more than 20 of his brothers and sisters in the Batavia shipyard and more than 30 people from the Franco machine master who had escaped from where to Nanao Island, and the Li family had also organized hundreds of shipbuilders to arrive one after another, and Li Jing had to go and build the shelves of the shipyard.

At present, 500 boys, women, children/children aged 10-15 have been enrolled in the Hanjiang River basin on the condition that the Li family will arrange a job after graduation. Among them, there are nearly 100 people in the Li family clan. Li Jing will buy a group of cyborg teachers on the light curtain and set up the shelves of the Maritime Academy.

Li Jing is also going to take his senior sister to see his junior brothers, after all, they are all the same family, although he doesn't know the reason why the master ran away from the sect back then, but Li Jing still wants to have a good relationship with the sect, these talents can be used by themselves after all.

This year, because of the arrival of Li Jing, the backwater of Jinling City for more than 200 years has made waves, and it is obvious that the economic environment has begun to change. There are more opportunities to work. In addition to Wumart recruiting a large number of people. Emerging leather becomes an industry.

Li Jing made sheepskin rafts and purchased cattle and sheepskins on a large scale, but many of the skins were damaged, not good, and leaked. And it turned out later that it is better to use the skin of bulls and rams, and the female is prone to slow deflation because of physiological structure. As a result, a large amount of leather was surplus, and in the end it had to be made into leather clothes, leather boots, leather shoes, belts, leather hats, and leather gloves.

However, the leather style produced by Li Jing is still in accordance with the style of this era, after leather treatment, the same leather as the modern leather jacket, there is no concept of cowhide layering in this era, a cowhide is divided into many layers, and it can be sold for a lot of money. This piece is already a new industry of the Li family, and Grandpa Li Jing sent the shopkeeper to be in charge of the leather business.

Oily black and shiny leather coats and leather robes have become fashionable styles in Jiangnan this winter, and they are gradually becoming popular. After all, leather clothes are durable and wind-resistant, and winter is really warmer than linen clothes. This is also thanks to the blessing that this winter is too cold, after all, it has been getting colder and colder every year, and the original cold-resistant quilts are no longer used, and Taihu Lake is frozen.

The Li family's leather robe is black leather on the outside, and if you add money, you can also put on a sheepskin with wool and a fur coat collar. It's really warm, and it looks classy. Sales are good.

Of course, if someone still likes silk fabrics, it doesn't matter, it can be silk on the outside and leather on the inside, which is also wind-resistant and warm.

The sheepskin rafts were made, and the wool that was taken off was piled up and piled up outside the city, which smelled even in winter. It must be disposed of as soon as possible, cleaned and dried for storage. The Li family recruited thousands of women to work with wool in the slums of the outer city, the biggest job opportunity ever in Jinling. Although this work is really dirty and tiring, caustic soda and other cleaning oils are harmful to the skin, and boiling wool in a large pot is also easy to burn and peel off the skin. But it still increased the income of half a man to these poor families. In this era, the poor usually did not have overnight food, and the increase in income by half a man was already exciting for these people.

At present, the blended loom is still being tested, and there is no choice but to hire a large number of women from poor families in the city of Nanjing, and process the wool and store it first.

This year, many poor families in Nanjing have found jobs, and in the past, men went out to work to support their families, but now the quilt factory run by the Li family recruits a large number of female workers to make clothes and quilts, and these women do not need training at all. It is also easy to learn to spin wool and knit sweaters, scarves, gloves, and hats.

Although the salary is only half that of a man, he manages a meal at noon. In the past, at home was to do housework and take care of children, but now there are such job opportunities. They all handed over their children to the old man and came out to work by themselves, and the Li family's quilt workshop from the big shopkeeper, shopkeeper, steward to foreman were all women, all of whom were transferred from Meihuawu. Only the guard at the door is a man, and it is strictly forbidden to enter the workshop if there is nothing to do. It also dispelled the concerns of many women.

Use the white grey cloth provided by the Li family to sew wool cotton clothes and pants and cotton robes. Wool bedding. Spun wool knitting sweaters and gloves, hats, scarves, etc.

These new wool products quickly opened up a market, and thanks to the increasingly cold and arid climate for the next decade or so, the business could continue to be a business.

The wool quilt, sewn with white grey cloth, is the quilt core. Customers can choose their favorite style to make duvet covers and mattress covers. It can be cotton, linen, or silk. This is very easy to clean, just change the outer quilt cover, the previous bedding had to be dismantled and washed, and each time it had to be sewn anew. These inventions greatly reduced the amount of labor performed by women.

When handling sheepskins, large amounts of the sheep fat that adheres to the leather must be removed. Li Jing directed these oils and fats to the leather factory, which was transferred to the newly opened soap factory. It is used to make soap. And according to the formula given by Li Jing, we have developed a number of products such as soap for bathing and grooming and soap for washing clothes and bedding.

At present, nearly 200 Wumart department stores have been opened, and new ones have recently been launched, except for soap and soap. A wide range of wool products and leather garments are on the market. And also provide customized services. After all, the tailors in Jinling do not know how to sew leather clothes, and the production of leather is confidential, and the Li family monopolizes the supply of leather.

The consumption power of Jinling, the world's largest metropolis with a population of five million, is terrifying, and Jiangnan is the richest area in the whole Ming Dynasty and the whole world. It is also the most avant-garde area of fashion trends, and it has also been the most emancipated region in the past 100 years. It has the best conditions for the development of industry and commerce.

The department store model has begun to show its power, and in the past, various stores were single-functional, such as oil shops that sold cooking oil. The cloth shop sells all kinds of cloth, which are classified into linen, cotton, and silk at most. The groceries shop sells all kinds of grains. The rice shop is the place where high-quality grains such as rice and flour are sold.

At present, more than 200 chain stores of Wumart can purchase a large number of materials in a centralized manner, and the purchase price is cheaper, for example, the grain and oil consumed in Jinling a day is astronomical. The Li family even began buying rice in large quantities from the Mekong Delta and Luzon. There are three crops a year, and the grain cannot be eaten, and there will be people who will go to the wasteland to grow grain if there is an order. If you exchange the goods, you can make another profit. The Li family transported thousands of tons of rice by sea boat. Outrageously cheap.

The price of palm oil is particularly cheap, and the rapeseed resources in the Hanjiang River basin have been almost exploited by Li Jing, and now the Spaniards in Luzon are negotiating with the Li family to transport palm oil to Daming on a large scale. Palm oil is an oil with low nutritional value, and it is mostly used in food processing in later generations, such as fried instant noodles. But ordinary people in this era can't afford to eat rapeseed oil, but the price of palm oil is only five cents to one penny and one pound of silver, and everyone can afford to eat it.

As for nutrition and health, these are not mandatory considerations for the poor. Fats and fats are very anti-hunger and can save food. That's why people prefer cheap palm oil. In addition to being lighter than rapeseed oil, it is also oil after all.

With the continuous expansion of the area of each Wumart store, even began to build buildings with three to six floors. There is basically no restriction on the scale of commercial operations in Daming, which is not as strict as the residential restrictions. There is a strict limit on the number of shelves.

The store model has gradually gained a firm foothold. A large number of cargo suppliers and small workshops are looking to settle in Wumart. Willing to accept Wumart's consignment/sales sharing model. This allows Wumart to further reduce costs. The abundance of products has brought more customers, and you can basically buy all the goods you need when you visit here, and many large stores have started to open catering and other businesses on the top floor of the fifth or sixth floor, and have entered a lot of snacks and restaurants. Business is booming.

Li Jing has been engaged in it for so long, and suddenly found that what really brings him huge cash flow is actually the supermarket system, not the steel, textile and other industries that he has high hopes for.
