On the banks of the Santai River, there are courtyards one after another, each courtyard covers a wide area, and the buildings are similar, especially on the riverside side, there are several waterwheels running, lifting the river water and pouring it into the high water tank. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is an outlet at the lower end of the water tank, and the water flows out of the pipe, and then pushes many water wheels to rotate, and with the power of the water wheels, many hydraulic looms are running in different ways.

First, the spinning wheel spins the hemp, kudzu and other raw materials into a spindle thread, and then the weaver puts the spindle thread on the loom to weave into cloth, the water wheel keeps turning, and the spinning wheel and loom also keep running.

There is a man guarding every spinning wheel and loom, both men and women, and the women are wrapped in turbans, wrapping a head of green silk tightly to prevent it from being scattered and stirred into the running looms.

Both men and women wore uniform clothes and trousers, with narrow mouths and narrow sleeves, to avoid being stirred by the running looms, and many looms were lined up in the wide room, with uniform styles and neatly arranged.

In the rumbling sound of operation, Li Fang stood outside the room, looking at the busy scene inside through the window, and at the door of the warehouse on the side, the workers were inspecting the newly woven plain cloth and transporting it to the warehouse on the side.

"The owner, the dyeing workshop is here, waiting for the cloth."

"When will the cloth be delivered?"

"The spinning wheel and the loom are constantly turning, and as long as there are no problems, they can be delivered tomorrow."

"Is the new machine ready to use?"

"Owner, there are three more days, and now it is being commissioned."

"Those debugging masters are entertaining well, don't be lazy."

"The little one knows, as in the past, he will never snub those masters."

Li Fang nodded when he heard this, spinning wheels and looms are money-making treasures, one more is one more income, although the sound of their operation is noisy, but it is very pleasant to him.

As he said, it was as intoxicating as the sound of a money printing machine.

Of course, copper coins are minted, Li Fang doesn't know what "printing money" is, let alone what "money printing machine" means, but he knows that as long as the machine rotates, it means that the copper money will ring non-stop.

It was the sound of copper coins falling into his cash box, and the hydrospinning wheel and loom could run day and night, so the copper coins kept pouring in like flowing water.

A water-powered spinning wheel can spin nearly 100 catties of hemp in a day and night, and a spinning wheel can top the output of 30 households, and then spin the thread and then spin the cloth with a loom that runs day and night to weave a large number of high-quality and low-cost cloth.

The cost of each piece of cloth is actually 30% lower than the market, and the quality is significantly better, so there is no need to worry about selling at all.

Li Fang came to the warehouse, looked at the cloth that had just been registered in the warehouse, and it didn't take long for it to be registered and out of the warehouse, transported to a nearby dyeing workshop, dyed into cloth of various colors, and then loaded on a ship at the small wharf outside the river embankment, and transported to the downstream Bakou to be delivered to the merchants to complete the transaction.

There are many boats down the Santai River, come to this section of the river where the cloth fang gathers, unload the kudzu and hemp purchased from Shannan Prefecture, the Santai River was still deserted and deserted in the past, and now the boats are like shuttles, and the river is endless.

As a big family following in the footsteps of Yu Wenwen, Li Fang is now developed, and he did not invest money to build a bookstore but opened a cloth workshop, which was also a decision made according to the choice given by Yu Wenwen.

Di Guogong asked him to do any business, so everyone did that business, and shared the bowl of bigger and bigger soup, and everyone ate it with oily faces.

The bookstore and the cloth shop are all hot deals now, Li Fang doesn't feel any regrets about not being able to get two things at the same time, it doesn't matter how much money there is, the key is to keep up with the pace of Gong Guo.

Say that malicious competition is not allowed, and that rules should be set, then follow it, no one dares to disobey the yang and the yin, the rebellion of the fools back then is the best example, and the people who followed the Duke of Yi are now more and more prosperous.

Quarries and lumber mills are still thriving, and the river embankments in Huangzhou have been repaired, but other states have also begun to build embankments.

This is a decision made by the head of Yuwen, and it is also beneficial to the people, and it can also reclaim a large amount of wasteland, and there is enough cheap stone to provide.

If the embankment is repaired, they can also be like the local cloth mill in Huangzhou, with the help of water power to weave.

The premise is that you can figure out what is in the water-powered spinning wheel and the loom!

The secret and structure of the hydraulic loom, everyone wants to know, but no one can get the secret from any Huangzhou cloth mill, the cloth mill is strictly guarded, hard to come is not to think, can only use soft, but this is not good.

As a person who is very close to Yu Wenwen, Li Fang knows some secrets that others don't know, and the shopkeeper under Daxingtai can take the cloth at cost price, so he is too lazy to care, and Yu Wenming, the governor of Xiangzhou, also cooperates with Yu Wenwen. When the elder brother also takes the goods from the younger brother at cost price.

Neither of these two was able to get their hands on the secret, and as for the others, hehe.

On the Shannan realm, if others want to know the secret without Yu Wenwen's consent, it is wishful thinking!

When the bell rang, Li Fang was pulled back to reality from his reverie, only to hear someone shouting at the top of his voice while ringing the bell: "It's time for the shift!" ”

Looking up, I saw the big wall clock hanging in a conspicuous place, the hands pointed to twelve o'clock, this is the time of the shift, the weavers of the previous shift "get off work" to eat and rest, and the weavers of the next shift have finished eating in advance, and then "go to work".

At "eighteen o'clock" in the afternoon, it is the shift change time, and the weavers on the night shift begin to weave all night until "zero o'clock" in the morning, and the next shift is "six o'clock" the next morning.

Li Fang's cloth mill divides the weavers into four shifts, and every day is "four shifts", people stop but the spinning wheel and loom do not stop, because every minute is precious, not only here for him, but also for other cloth mills.

Looking at the shift of the weaver, Li Fang signaled the supervisor to keep an eye on it, don't let the machine run problematic, and don't let people be lazy, looking at the huge wall clock, Li Fang advised:

"Pay attention to oiling, pay attention to maintenance, it doesn't matter if it's broken, you won't be able to see the time!"

"Yes, host."

The clock is a good thing, workers rely on the clock to control the time when they go to and from work, whether it is a cloth mill, a dyeing workshop, a bookstore and a variety of workshops, it is really convenient for the owner to see the clock pinch the time and deduct the wages.

Li Fang was in a daze in the courtyard, waited for a while and looked at the wall clock again, a little impatient, he asked the servant who ran in a small step, "Has anyone arrived?" ”

"It's here, the owner, Zheng Dong's boat has just docked, and the boat has been delayed for a while when the boat queued up at the mouth of the river."

"I'm ten minutes late." Li Fang was a little helpless, the concept of time is now limited to businessmen in the Huangzhou territory.

You can't blame others, Li Fang and others did the same a few years ago, after all, it was when the "moment" was used as a reference, and everyone agreed on the time, which was a certain day and a certain time, and he had come to the "minute" to speak of.

With his clothes neatly dressed, Li Fang led his entourage towards the gate, and several well-dressed men in the distance were walking towards him.

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Lu!" (To be continued.) )
