Uncle Fei did not disobey Lu Yuan's instructions, and really chose ten trustworthy weavers.

Lu Yuan personally inquired in the tone of leadership care, and found that these ten weavers basically stayed in his Lu family for more than three years, and some of them were even saved by his father who was poor and weak, and some of them also married the older maids of their Lu family, so it can be said that they are in the same breath as their Lu family.

Lu Yuan was relieved and called these ten people to the warehouse to the west of his house.

Uncle Fei also followed: "Brother, what are you trying to let them do?" ”

"Uncle Fei, you'll know later, I have something that can double the weaving speed!"

Lu Yuan smiled and asked the ten weavers to clean up the warehouse, and the dilapidated looms that were idle in the warehouse were all moved outside, leaving only one loom against the wall next to the door.

This loom, like the other looms in the current weaving mill, has been transformed by Lu Yuanzhu to achieve the purpose of being suitable for shuttle weaving.

Of course, the carpenter who transformed these looms was not Zeng Dongsheng, and Lu Yuan did not let a carpenter be responsible for the manufacture of the entire Flying Shuttle Loom, so as not to let people peek into the secrets of the Flying Shuttle Loom.

In the middle of the storeroom, there were eleven freshly scrubbed tables on the green brick floor.

The eleven tables were arranged in a three-three-three-two-one layout according to Lu Yuan's requirements, and the ten weavers stood in front of the other ten tables except for the first table by the door.

Lu Yuan divided the springs and roller shuttles among the ten weavers, and he himself took two springs and a roller shuttle.

"As I do, rotate this iron ring called a spring into the notch of this shuttle, and then even if this shuttle is successfully assembled, I will name it the flying shuttle, and your task in the future will be to assemble this."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he began to assemble the take-off shuttle.

The weavers also began to learn in a similar way.

Lu Yuan's drawings for blacksmith Yang Weishi were only springs, while the drawings for carpenter Zeng Dongsheng were only shuttle rollers.

Today, these are the only ten weavers who are actually responsible for assembling these two parts into the shuttle.

Lu Yuan believed that in this way, he could try his best to ensure that the secret of his shuttle would not be leaked in a short period of time, after all, the division of labor system was implemented.

The shuttle is not a complicated machine, and it is naturally not difficult to assemble.

Soon, Lu Yuan finished assembling it, took the shuttle to a loom, and asked Uncle Fei to take the cotton yarn.

Uncle Fei now understands that his young master seems to be making shuttle weaving, but he still doesn't understand what miracles this kind of shuttle with iron rings and wheels can have.

Sometimes the simplest mechanical truth can be practiced and people will suddenly realize.

But when Lu Yuan started weaving according to the weaving experience of restoring the shuttle loom in his previous life, the shuttle that quickly relied on the spring elasticity to shuttle back and forth suddenly made Uncle Fei's eyes widen.

"Brother, it's so fast!"

"Ah, young master, it's really fast!"

A female weaver who was taken in by the Lu family when she was a teenager screamed in amazement.

Lu Yuan looked back at the delicate-looking weaver Erniu: "It's not that I'm fast, it's this shuttle fast!" ”

No one listened to Lu Yuan's words, and these people at this time all stared at the speeding loom.

Soon.

Lu Yuan weaved an inch of cotton cloth out.

"It's all the same loom, but with this shuttle has such a magical effect, obviously this cotton yarn is drawn faster, and the woven cloth is more symmetrical and denser, how did the young master come up with it?"

Uncle Fei asked in amazement.

"Wow, young master! You, it's really short! ”

The female weaver and the second girl also marveled again.

"I thought of it myself in my dream", Lu Yuan explained to Uncle Fei, then looked at the two girls again, and said: "Second girl, remember to express it accurately next time, it takes a short time to weave this shuttle." ”

The second girl nodded, then turned back to the woman Yin and bit her ear and said, "It's really short." ”

Yin also nodded.

Lu Yuan didn't spend any more time on this, so he only ordered: "Okay, let's go and assemble it, let's try to let the weaving workshop use this shuttle as soon as possible, Uncle Fei, assemble the shuttle, please find someone to transport it to the weaving workshop, immediately let them use this shuttle, remember to keep it as secret as possible, and tell the weavers, don't let others know about the shuttle weaving cloth used in our weaving workshop." ”

Uncle Fei also knew that now this shuttle has doubled the weaving speed, which is definitely a good opportunity for the Lu family weaving workshop to come back to life, if the secret is leaked, the Lu family weaving workshop will not be able to keep this opportunity, so he nodded hurriedly: "Brother, don't worry, if any of them go out to chew their tongues, I will cut his tongue!" ”

Lujia Weaving Workshop.

The weaver Du Niu'er is skillfully weaving cloth on the loom shuttling back and forth.

Not only him, but also other weavers.

At this time, Lu Yuan, who came to inspect the weaving workshop, happened to come to Du Niu'er and asked, "How does it feel to use this flying shuttle weaving." ”

"Young Master!"

Du Niu'er hurriedly stopped the work in his hand, got up to salute Lu Yuan, was pressed back to the bench by Lu Yuan, and said: "I feel fast, I'm not tired, I don't need to throw the shuttle to pull the yarn, I save a lot of effort, everyone thinks that with this new ingenious thing, the weaving workshop will be better, it's rare that you are so smart, young master, and think of such a way." ”

"If you don't know that this new ingenious thing is good, otherwise I won't promise you not to sell the weaving mill, don't you, everyone work hard, as long as our Lu family weaving workshop makes money in the past three months and pays off the debt, I will increase the salary of the big guy, and strive to make everyone's income higher than before!"

Lu Yuan said with a smile, although what he promised now was just a blank check, but the weavers' enthusiasm increased a lot after hearing it.

The sound of the machine in the whole weaving mill has not stopped.

The day after the shuttle was assembled, a total of 100 looms in the Lujia Weaving Workshop were replaced with shuttles.

The original Lu family weaving workshop had a maximum of 150 pieces of cloth for 100 people a day, but now in less than a day, the Lu family weaving workshop has woven 300 pieces of cloth.

As a result, the weaving speed of the entire weaving mill has doubled.

According to the current price of cloth fluctuates around three dollars per horse, deducting the cost of cotton yarn of about one dollar and five cents per weaving cloth, each cotton cloth can be profitable about one dollar and five cents of silver.

And now the Lujia Weaving Workshop can now weave 300 pieces of cloth, not a cheap labor cost, if you can sell all the 300 pieces of cloth, the Lujia Weaving Workshop can make a profit of about 45 taels of silver a day, and you can make a profit of more than 130 taels of silver a month.

In less than a month, Lu Yuan will be able to repay the debt owed to the Zhang family.

As for whether all the Lu family's cloth can be sold, Lu Yuan is still not worried, because the cloth woven by the shuttle loom is not only fast, but also has better quality and width.

The shuttle uses mechanical machinery to make the shuttle automatically bounce back after wearing a long width of the yarn, and the width of the shuttle loom is much larger than the original cheesecloth.

After all, because the original cheesecloth was manually reached out to get the shuttle back, it was difficult for the original cheesecloth width to exceed the width of two arms.

The longer the cloth, the better, for better tailoring or other uses.

Therefore, the Lu family's cloth has a market advantage, not only because the width is very long, but also because the cloth woven by the Lu family's shuttle loom is denser and has a better texture.

Because the weaver can press the plate with both hands at the same time to weave, and the shuttle borrows the elastic pull of the yarn is also straighter.

In a word.

The Lu family's cloth is not available on the market in Daming now, and Lu Yuan believes that the sales of cloth should not be a problem.

Even Uncle Fei, who was not optimistic about the future of the weaving mill before, now believes that the Lu family's cloth industry will re-emerge in Linqingzhou and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

Early in the morning of the third day after the shuttle was applied to the weaving mill.

Lu Yuan asked Uncle Fei to transport the first batch of weaving cloth to his own cloth shop, ready to sell the new cloth woven by this shuttle loom.
