Jian Village, Xiqiao Township, Nanhai, Changlong Silk Reeling Factory.

With the sound of crackling firecrackers, Changlong Silk Reeling Factory officially started.

The rumbling sound came like thunder, and the huge sound of steam sounded into the sky, startling the villagers outside the silk reeling factory.

However, it didn't take long for the noise to subside, and then a rumbling machine was heard.

"Isn't this a demon? With such a loud voice, bubbling white gas, this is a monster! ”

"That's right, if it's so noisy every day in the future, how can we live, can we stay in this Jian Village?"

"Don't talk about it, their Chen family heard that they are familiar with the county magistrate, let's take a look first."

"Yes, they are all from the villagers, their Chen family has always been kind, so don't worry so much!"

The onlookers talked a lot and pointed at the Changlong Silk Reeling Factory.

Today is the day of the start of the Changlong silk reeling factory, not only hundreds of villagers in Jiancun Village came to see the excitement outside the factory, but also the people and squires from the neighboring villages and even Xiqiao Township also came to join in the fun.

"Third Master Li, your old man is here too? What's the matter, the small workshop of the Chen family will still threaten your Li family's silk reeling shop? Someone saw Master Li, a big silk reeler in Xiqiao Township, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Joke, this small workshop, I heard that only ten helpers have been hired, and most of them are new hands, my Li family will be afraid of him? It's just to see the excitement! Looking at this foreign thing, maybe the heat will burn the raw silk! Li Sanye stroked the goat's beard and sneered.

"That's, don't really say it, there are a lot of people who came to see the excitement today. I heard that this Changlong silk reeling factory and outsiders have joint shares, that is, the Hunan guy Jiang Mingqian, who founded Huxiang Bank, has been mixing in Nanhai and Guangzhou in the past year, and I heard that there are millions of family funds, which can simply catch up with those masters of the original thirteen lines! ”

"Yes, I heard that the Hunan Yankee and the new county magistrate will also come to Jian Village to congratulate the Changlong Silk Reeling Factory on its start of production."

"Ah, even the county magistrate is coming? Then this Changlong silk reeling factory can't be put into production, but it's a joke! ”

"Haha, that's not how! ……”

Everyone was whispering and discussing, and a burst of firecrackers exploded, and another firecracker rang out. After the smoke cleared, Chen Qishu, who was smiling, walked out and said to the onlookers: "The steam engine has been turned on, and the silk reeling machine has also been put into use. In the next step, the cocoons began to be put into production and officially put into production. ”

Everyone's hearts fell to their throats, whether they hoped that the Western machine would succeed in reeling silk, or whether they didn't want to succeed, they all stretched their necks to stare at the silk reeling factory, waiting anxiously. If it weren't for the silk reeling factory hired four officials to guard the gate of the factory in advance, these onlookers would have rushed in.

Li Sanye, like other businessmen who opened a handmade silk reeling factory, stared at the silk reeling factory with blank eyes.

At this time, a cheer came from the silk reeling factory: "Out of the silk, out of the silk!" ”

With another burst of firecrackers that do not know tens of thousands of sounds, the onlookers let go of their hands that covered their ears and covered their numbness, but saw the smiling Chen Qiyuan and Chen Qishu two brothers walked out side by side, each holding a large strand of raw silk in both hands, came to the gate of the silk reeling factory that had been surrounded by everyone, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the Hongfu of the villagers, my Changlong silk reeling factory has successfully produced silk!" ”

Everyone just wanted to open their mouths to congratulate, but suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd of onlookers, and a path flashed out, but it was more than ten officials, escorting two middle-aged people, walking slowly.

"The county magistrate really came, and the one next to him was another shareholder of the Changlong Silk Reeling Factory, Jiang Mingqian, the owner of Huxiang Bank."

"It's the right time, just in time, and it's here."

Hong Renji and Jiang Mingqian were waiting outside the crowd for a long time, and when they heard the news of the smooth silk production, they couldn't help it anymore, so they had to let the officials open the way and enter the silk reeling factory.

"County Magistrate Hong, Jiang Dongjia, and Hongfu of the two of them, the factory started smoothly today, and the best raw silk was produced!" Chen Qiyuan and Chen Qishu came to the factory gate to greet them, which was a salute.

"Great! Thanks to the hard work of the two bosses Chen, the production was so smooth. Jiang Ming laughed.

Hong Renji also chuckled and said, "Congratulations to the two of you, and by the way, congratulations to Boss Jiang!" ”

The three of them laughed in unison: "Thank you for your help!" ”

In the crowd of onlookers, one person stood up and said loudly: "Boss Chen, the contemptible person is a deacon of Nanyang Company, named Pan Jingwei, who is responsible for the raw silk procurement business within Nanhai County, I don't know if there are buyers for the raw silk produced by Boss Chen?" If not, we are willing to cooperate with your company! ”

Chen Qishu was overjoyed and said busily: "It turned out to be Commissioner Pan, who is here, and he is far away!" Nanyang company has always been fair price, and the payment is never in arrears, of course the factory is willing to cooperate with Nanyang company! After speaking, he motioned to the official at the gate of the silk reeling factory to open the gate, and he personally stepped forward and respectfully invited Pan Jingwei to enter the gate of the factory.

And here, Li Sanye and a group of silk reeling merchants in the South China Sea also found out that that person turned out to be Deacon Pan, the procurement specialist of Nanyang Company who was responsible for purchasing raw silk in the past two years.

With a wave of his hand, Pan Jingwei stepped in, and Li Sanye and a group of silk reeling merchants from the South China Sea and a few onlookers of good deeds also entered the gate.

The officials originally blocked Li Sanye and these bystanders outside the gate of the silk reeling factory, but seeing that Li Sanye and the others and Pan Jingwei's gang knew each other, they followed them inside, and were just about to stop them, but when they saw Chen Qishu nodding their heads, they didn't care about Li Sanye and the others.

And this is, Pan Jingwei and others, who entered the gate, proposed to Chen Qishu: "Boss Chen, I want to know about the production output and the quality of raw silk in your factory, how many catties of raw silk can be produced every month, and it is convenient to enter and visit your silk reeling machine?" ”

Chen Qishu frowned and looked at Li Sanye and the others, looked back at Chen Qiyuan, Chen Qiyuan and Chen Qishu glanced at each other, and said, "Of course it's no problem!" Please! ”

Chen Qiyuan led Hong Renji, Jiang Mingxian, Pan Jingwei and others into the silk reeling factory, and Li Sanye and others also followed.

Li Sanye and other silk reeling workshop owners in the South China Sea carefully looked at this silk reeling machine factory.

In the middle of the factory, there is a large boiler, next to the roaring steam engine, in addition, there is a large water tank, a cocoon room, a silk reeling car and a silk kettle and other facilities that are exactly the same as the artificial silk reeling factory, but some small improvements have been made, and some thin lines are erected.

"County Magistrate Hong, Boss Jiang, and Commissioner Pan, fellow villagers, everyone see, these are the main production equipment of my Changlong Silk Reeling Factory. We use a two-thread co-twisting silk reeling machine, which comes from the craftsmanship of Western France. Ladies and gentlemen, our factory employs ten helpers, in fact, only six people are needed to complete the production task of this silk reeling machine. Chen Qiyuan introduced loudly.

Li Sanye's eyes rolled, and his voice was so thin that it overshadowed the rumbling of the steam engine at the scene, and he said loudly: "County Chief, Commissioner Pan, you have come all the way from the city to this remote Jian Village, it is really hard!" Now that the Changlong silk reeling factory has started, it is better to let Boss Chen reel out more than ten catties of raw silk at this hour for everyone to watch, and also share the joy of this success! ”

The owners of other silk reeling workshops in the South China Sea originally came to inquire about the news, after all, there was more silk reeling workshop in Jiancun, and there was another business rival. Fortunately, Nanyang Company does not refuse to come, the more the merrier, how much raw silk, they are according to the grade standard of raw silk, according to the uniform price of the purchase of the past, never stuck goods.

But no matter what, there are more people to earn this silk reeling money, and I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I feel like the money that is about to arrive has been snatched away by others.

Besides, what if one day those foreigners don't have so much raw silk? Then it's a competitor! It's better to take precautions, first make the reputation of this silk reeling workshop stink!
