The notice of Longjiang machine silk reeling factory recruiting a large number of female silk reeling workers with high salaries is like a scoop of cold water poured into the boiling oil pot, the whole Guangzhou has exploded, boiling and yingtian, the news spread quickly, Hainan, Xiangshan, Sanshui and other counties also reacted fiercely, Shunde Longjiang became the center of the whirlpool, and all kinds of people rushed to Longjiang to inquire about the situation of the machine silk reeling factory.

Shunde Longjiang to Guangzhou is only thirty or forty miles of waterway, by boat but most of the day, passenger ships are also frequent, not only there are day ferries but also night ferries, one day and one night can easily go back and forth, due to the large number of people, Longjiang machine silk reeling factory can not block the news at all, but one or two days, the various situations related to Longjiang machine silk reeling factory will continue to feed back to Guangzhou and the surrounding counties.

Machine reeling silk is not only reeling out of the quality of the silk is good, but also is six times the efficiency of manual reeling, only Longjiang Longshan two places plan to recruit 6,000 female workers, the local big girl and little daughter-in-law are enthusiastic into the factory, one by one news has spread, the whole Guangzhou is boiling, a group of silk merchants who are familiar with the inside of the silk reeling immediately rushed to the red eye, a rough calculation, a silk reeling machine a year more than 100 yuan of net profit, a thousand machines a year can earn more than 100,000! It's really a profitable business, who doesn't blush?

Soon, the backstage of Longjiang Machine Silk Reeling Factory - Yuanqi Bank and Changle Machinery Manufacturing Factory that provided silk reeling machines were excavated, early in the morning, Yuanqi General Number was like a city, and the silk merchants and gentry merchants of the counties rich in sericulture gathered outside the door, all of them came to visit Yuanqi's big shopkeeper easy to be content, and there was only one purpose, to buy a silk reeling machine.

Yi Zhishu didn't go to Yuanqi at all, and took a sedan chair to the "Xiguan Weekly" newspaper at the east end of Mashacang Street early in the morning, and heard that he was coming. Pan Shiming hurriedly greeted him. As soon as they met, they smiled and said, "The big shopkeeper came to me to hide here?" ”

"Brother Cheng, this is not a pure place." Yi Zhizhi smiled and returned the salute. Then he said as he walked: "After a year of preparation, "Xiguan Weekly" should also change its name. ”

"Name change?" Pan Shiming paused, then reacted and said, "The big shopkeeper said that it was changed to "Xiguan Daily"? ”

"Yes, take this opportunity to change it to a daily newspaper." Yi Zhizhi said: "One issue a day." ”

As they spoke, the two walked into Pan Shiming's study. After sitting down, Yi Zhizhi continued: "Can you prepare enough? ”

"Printing is not a problem these days." Pan Shiming said, poured him a cup of tea, and then sat down opposite and said: "The problem is that the article is changed to a daily newspaper, and so many articles are published every day, where does the article come from?" ”

"That's not a problem." Yi Zhizu said with a smile: "In terms of Western experience, you can take a series of reports, recently the officials and gentlemen in Guangzhou are concerned about the machine silk reeling factory and the silk reeling women, and the Western experience can be related to the Western machinery factory, such as textile factories and weaving factories. Printing and dyeing factories, garment factories, and other factories with a large number of female workers have carried out a series of reports, highlighting the large number of female workers employed in these factories. There are now many Citigroup technicians in Changle Village, and they are interviewed directly for materials, and they are equipped with translators.

In addition, it is certainly not enough to meet the needs of the daily newspaper by relying on the writers of the newspaper to write, and it is a good opportunity to mobilize all the people who are interested and interested in writing for the newspaper, and the machine silk reeling factory and the high-paid female workers are a good opportunity to use the newspaper to provoke a big debate.

The focus of the debate can continue to spread, equal pay for men and women, the abolition of women's foot binding, etc., are all topics that can cause heated debate, what do newspapers need? It is to attract attention, that is, to pick topics that can cause widespread controversy, however, there is one thing to pay attention to, you can't commit court taboos, but all topics that are taboo in the court can't be touched. ”

Saying that, he smiled and said, "Brother Zecheng's cousin, Miss Jin seems to be very interested in writing, and strongly approves of women working in factories. ”

Pan Shiming just wanted to try his best to get Alloy Lanxiang and Yi Zhixiang, how could he not know about this, so he immediately nodded and said, "Is it appropriate for the newspaper to adopt women's articles?" ”

"They all use pen names." Yi Zhizhi said disapprerovingly: "There are female writers in the West, and we also have many female poets and female lyricists, so there is nothing inappropriate." After a pause, he continued: "Leave an address in the newspaper for the newspaper to write, indicating that once adopted, the remuneration will be paid according to the word, and the remuneration will be good, there is no shortage of poor talents in Guangzhou, don't worry about no one to write, in the following prefectures and counties, the newspaper can also fix some writers." ”

This method is good, Pan Shiming nodded with a smile, there is indeed no shortage of poor talents in Guangzhou, and he groaned slightly, and then he said: "Pay according to the word, the remuneration is good, what should be the standard?" ”

"Brother Cheng has to make his own decision about this matter." Yi Zhifen said with a smile: "In general, publishing seven or eight articles in the newspaper a month is necessary to make a living, so as to help cultivate full-time freelance writers." ”

"Okay." Pan Shiming said with a smile: "However, I have to ask the big shopkeeper to help take care of it in the past two days." ”

"I come here every morning."

Coming out of the newspaper hall, Yi Zhizu rushed back to the Yuanqi General Account in a sedan chair, and only then did he arrive at the entrance of Xirong Lane, and the little guy Li Wang was startled by the crowd at the gate of the Yuanqi General Number, and hurriedly reported: "Young Master, there are many people at the door, why don't you go through the back door." ”

After a glance at the sedan curtain, and after a slight change of thought, Yi Zhishu understood what was going on, and immediately smiled: "Go to the back door." He entered the Rong Garden with his front foot, and Kong Jian'an followed with his back foot, and said with a wry smile: "Big shopkeeper, everyone outside the door is coming to visit you, you have to think of sending them away, otherwise it will affect Yuanqi's business." ”

"It's business, and it's big business." Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "Yes, invite them all to the big conference hall, and I will come later." ”

Big business? What big business? Kong Jian'an was a little puzzled, Donghuang Silk Company Yuan Qi accounted for forty percent of the shares, he naturally knew it, but what does it have to do with this? Isn't the silk reeling machine unavailable today? He didn't ask much, anyway, he would know later, so he immediately answered and went out to make arrangements.

Jin Ying fetched a basin of water and waited for him to wash his hands and clean his face, and said softly while busy: "Sister Bai went to Longjiang. ”

Bai Zhi went to Longjiang? Needless to say, the Qinglian Sect is planning to go to Longjiang to develop the congregation, so many female workers gather in the place, it is indeed a good place to develop the congregation, he is not good to interfere in this matter, He Shutai and they are also difficult to prevent, let the Qinglian Sect develop, it is not a matter, not only is it not conducive to the management of the factory, when the situation comes, like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, the Qinglian Sect is likely to be ready to move, which will bring disastrous consequences.
