The hopes of the working people of the Northwest are not destined to be realized soon.

There is still a long process from cotton to towel, and they can only continue to wait patiently.

Textile mill is a general term, and in a big way, textile mills are divided into two parts, one is a cotton mill and the other is a weaving mill.

At present, the textile mill has only been built and the cotton mill is still in trial operation, and the weaving mill is still under construction.

The cotton enters the cotton blender through the cotton grabber, and then goes through a series of processes such as cotton cleaning - removing impurities and other substances, carding the cotton - making cotton slivers, roving, spinning, winding, sizing, etc., to obtain the product, send it to the textile factory, and then make various fabrics - such as towels.

After weaving rattan baskets for a long, long time, Wu Yue was suddenly brought into a cotton mill and became a textile worker.

What does the worker mean, Wu Yue is not very clear. But she knows what a craftsman means, a worker, should be a craftsman who works.

But the mill doesn't need her thoughts, just her labor.

Making rattan baskets is labor, and being a textile worker is also labor, and the labor intensity is greater than making rattan baskets.

In Wu Yue's opinion, the factory is simply a prison cell.

There are so many steel things, it looks cold, but it is very hot inside the factory, and only the hot Wu Yue wants to shave his hair.

The sweat ran down her hair, and it had already gotten into her eyes, and her whole body was wrapped in a steamer, almost making people collapse, but she did not dare to slack off, because the overseer was constantly patrolling with a stick.

Whoever wants to be lazy will not suffer from flesh and skin.

For this, Qin Mu didn't have a good way. He advised him not to physically punish the workers.

However, he decisively rejected Qin Mu's suggestion. This is not a worker, this is a captured slave. It would be nice to give them food, drink, and a place to live, but should they still be required to work?

There is only an infinite amount of cotton cloth in his eyes, and for this he wants to squeeze every ounce of strength out of his land.

For the immigrants from the Great Song Dynasty, it is desirable that they can still be managed normally, but for the slaves and captives that are captured, they are purely used as cattle envoys.

If you can't die, you will do it.

Finally, under Qin Mu's insistence, the living conditions of the weavers were improved.

This is also not going to work. Although the textile industry uses a large number of female workers, it is not because of the low labor intensity of this work, but because of the special nature of this work.

Weavers need to be meticulous and patient, able to withstand the intensity of daily repetitive work.

After such high-intensity work, if you can't get a good rest in time, it will affect the quality of the next day's work.

Based on this consideration, he agreed to Qin Mu and comprehensively built a high-quality logistics system in the textile factory according to Qin Mu's design.

Wu Yue experienced this firsthand.

As she got used to working in the weaving industry, she found that living in a textile factory was like living in heaven compared to life in a rattan factory.

The original dozen or so rows of Chase bunks were gone, replaced by neat three-story buildings, with a dormitory for every four people, each with a separate bed.

The toilets, that is, the latrines, are a hundred times stronger than the original aqua toilets.

At both ends of each floor are bathrooms. The bathrooms are large, and there are not only toilets with separate doors, but also a row of faucets that will flow out when you twist them.

The textile mill is a large water user, and before the textile mill was built, Qin Mu built the supporting facilities of tap water.

In fact, Wu Yue and these textile women were the first people in Yongbyon to use tap water, which is not even comparable to the fact that the yamen still carries water from wells.

With running water, there are naturally communal bathhouses. There is water, there is a boiler, and naturally there is a bathhouse.

Every day after work, she can comfortably take a hot bath, which is a life that Wu Yue never dreamed of before - she has no concept of needing to take a bath every day.

In fact, she couldn't take a shower a few times a year before she became a prisoner - it wouldn't allow it!

Now they can not only take a bath, but also have a bathroom, and even the food is much better.

The textile factory has a huge canteen, which Qin Mu has newly planned after learning the lessons of Weishan Lake.

This canteen can serve nearly 10,000 people at the same time - although there are not so many now, but it doesn't hurt to plan it first.

Now Wuyue not only eats well, lives well, but also receives a lot of wages every month.

However, these salaries are not the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty, but some colorful paper money.

This made Wu Yue feel a trace of suspicion, don't lie to us with paper.

But as a slave, she was not qualified to be picky. Isn't it the same if you don't give money?

However, it is not okay not to give money, the food in the canteen is not free, and paper money must be exchanged for food.

Fortunately, the textile factory paid enough wages, so that Wu Yue could have some paper money left over after eating.

After being captive for so long, the vast majority of people have lost the idea of escaping.

First, life here is actually much better than when I wasn't a slave, and second, there is nowhere to run. It has long been advertised that the Liao Kingdom is gone, where are they going? Thirdly, these banknotes can buy good things that are not available elsewhere.

For example, enamel washbasins. This thing, Wu Yue saved enough wages and bought several in a row - for different purposes.

However, with the shrewdness of the compromise, it is impossible to control the captives by this propaganda alone.

Especially these female textile workers, all of them were personally trained by Qin Mu, which was their own wealth.

He stipulated that in each room, four people were a squad, and if anyone ran away, the remaining three were all capital crimes.

No one dares to run away.

Wu Yue slowly found that she had unconsciously adapted to it, and even liked such days.

Although I am tired from work every day, I am just as tired at home. And that kind of tiredness can't be exchanged for anything, just barely making ends meet.

As it is now, you have enough food every day, and you can eat as much as you want, as long as you are willing to spend money. And there's plenty of hot water, clean bathrooms, and soft toilet paper—the kind of thing a woman's necessity hasn't been for thousands of years.

In fact, just about toilet paper, Wu Yue and the others had no idea of running away - there was no such good thing anywhere else.

Moreover, when Qin Mu was training female textile workers, in order to mobilize their subjective initiative, he specially mentioned an epoch-making women's product - menstrual belt.

This thing should be used with toilet paper, and before the advent of sanitary napkins, it was a woman's gift.

The history of women is as long as that of human beings. And the special physiological structure of women is as long as human history.

In the period when there was no toilet paper, the vast majority of women used plant ash to solve their problems.

In fact, as long as I think about this, I guess that the vast majority of people who travel through will suddenly discount their love for ancient women.

For the sake of that epoch-making women's product, Wu Yue will not run away.

Just like what Young Master Qin said, these textile women are the hope of mankind and the guardians of women. They are going to make feminine products for women all over the world.

Without women weavers, women would not live like women.

Wu Yue never knew that her work was related to all mankind - this concept was also popularized to her by Qin Mu, she was the god of women. Isn't that a goddess?

I and my companions are also goddesses.

At this time, Wu Yue had forgotten her slave status, and she subconsciously thought that she was just like what Young Master Qin said, the goddess of mankind. If Qin Mu knew this, he would probably be ashamed - he was too good at fooling the little girl.

But not to mention, these textile women represented by Wu Yue are getting closer and closer to the goddess style.

In this time and space, the gap between the temperament of workers and peasants is even greater. There were no female industrial workers in this time and space, and the textile mills in the northwest can be said to have the first batch of formal female workers.

The difference in living environment can bring about changes in temperament.

They don't look at the hard work every day, but the adequate food, the hygienic environment beyond the times, and the good sleep cause them not only not to be haggard, but to become more and more energetic one by one.

In this way, although they did not become the goddesses of all mankind, they became the goddesses of Yongbyon and even the Lower Loop region.

Many people ask matchmakers to ask for marriage.

Matchmaker pulling is a serious profession in this time and space - there is a proper name: Iceman, which refers to matchmaker.

Matchmakers can make money on this. Naturally, the business will not shirk when it comes to the door, and immediately the matchmakers cheered up and came to the textile factory to pull business.

But they couldn't get into the mill at all. What kind of place is this, and where can anyone enter?

Without exception, they all ate behind closed doors.

But the matchmaker won't give up so easily. They stood guard outside the gate of the textile mill, and when there were sporadic female workers who went out, they gathered around.

It was then that they realized that none of these workers were free. They were all slaves to the family. If you want to ask for a marriage, you have to go to the folded family.

It's too difficult.

For a moment, most of them retreated.

In fact, if they look for a fold, they may be useful. Because they are still hesitant to deal with the marriage problems of these female workers.

Most of them have reached marriageable age and will soon be able to bring a newborn child if they are married to a man.

Manpower is the most important resource. This is a clear point.

It's just that the textile mill is still far from being on track, and even a piece of cloth has not yet come out, and at this time these female workers cannot be allowed to start a family and have children—that would delay production.

Wait a little longer, wait until everything is on track.

First of all, the tap water system in Yongbyon should be built, especially the heating system, which must be built as a priority - Qin Mu installed heating in the women's dormitory, which made him very envious.

The lives of these weavers are more comfortable than their own. Where they came to suffer, they came only for pleasure.

My wife has to burn a charcoal stove during the winter. That's a far cry from heating.

The heating is the silent warmth of moisturizing things, while the charcoal stove is much more irritable. Less is not warm enough, and more roasting is unbearable.

How can the old lady also be Qin Mu's mother-in-law, this must be solved first.

Zhe Keqiu is ready to find time to talk to Qin Mu, or go to Weishan Lake to have a look in person.

I haven't been to Weishan Lake for a long time. The last time I went was the first meeting of the New World Group.

The second general meeting of the New World Group is about to be held, and I must take this opportunity to take this opportunity to investigate the industrialization of Weishan Lake.

It's better to get such a set out in the Northwest as well.

In particular, the mechanical center, which claims to be able to manufacture everything, sounds fascinating, and if there is a set here, it is simply "beautiful!" ”

After all, Weishan Lake is the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, and although there is a guard regiment, there is nothing to worry about. But after all, it's not as good as the northwest.

The Lower Hetao area is now completely like an iron barrel that can be operated by the fold.

Manpower, material and financial resources are abundant, and the Guards Regiment has been drawing maps, and now the map of the entire Xiahetao area is accurate to the village, down to every dirt road.

With such capital in hand, Zhe Keqiu felt that even if he didn't use the Guards Regiment, he could defeat all the enemies with the Zhejia army alone.

Whether it is the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia or the Jin Kingdom. Those who come do not refuse, and all must die.

Relying only on the army of cold weapons, he had this confidence, and he couldn't help but think of Qin Mu.

The Guards Regiment has now expanded to 2,000 people, what kind of power should the *** army of 2,000 people have?
