Chapter 166: The First Storm of Innovation

The production of the Jenny machine is really not complicated.

Especially after subdividing the work, each of the fifteen or sixteen people has their own focus on responsibility, practice makes perfect, and the work is faster. The only thing that stuck the construction period was one point: the hand-cranked wheel!

The wooden wheels are really not easy to make, and the hand-cranked wheels on the Jenny machine they made last time were actually dismantled from the old carriage and then reprocessed.

If you want to make a new wheel out of wood, it will be difficult and time-consuming.

After Su Baiyi knew what was going on, he immediately made a decision: he would solve the matter of the wheel.

Wooden wheels are not easy to handle, but what about iron?

After Bao Erhei made a mold, and then melted the pig iron into molten iron, twenty wheels were poured in one day, enough for them to produce Jenny machines.

"That's fast!" Jiao Da looked at the hollow wheel, nodded happily, and installed it with a wooden banner in the middle, and the whole Jenny machine can be used!

Other parts are made quickly, so the production of Jenny machines is also fast.

In the end, when the fifteen-day node date arrived, not only did they complete the task, but their equipment team also greatly exceeded the task.

A total of twenty Jenny machines and thirty shuttle looms were generated.

With a little debugging, it's all ready to go.

"The spinning machine is enough, there is no need to produce it, and the loom will continue to be produced in the future!"

The efficiency of the Jenny machine is surprisingly high, twenty Jenny machines, not to mention the supply of thirty shuttle looms, even the supply of a hundred looms is enough.

The problem now is that the looms are somewhat unable to keep up.

Let's move on to the production of looms.

Thirty shuttle looms and twenty Jenny looms were secretly pulled into the newly built factory, and dozens of women who had been trained for a long time used them in an instant.

"Start weaving, this machine is very powerful, you have to weave at least one piece of cloth for me a day!"

Some time ago, while experimenting with the Jenny machine, I had already spun a lot of spindles, and now I take them all out at once for the women in the weaving room to weave.

As for the other workshop, the Jenny machine was already in operation, and twenty skilled women were concentrating on spinning the thread.

Twenty spindles of thread can be spun at a time, and these novelties shocked the women.

The general person in charge of the textile factory is Liu Cheng!

This cargo is thick on the outside and thin on the inside, not only tall but also as fine as dust, it can be said that he can be able to write and martial arts, and he is a rare member of Su Baiyi's general!

Of course, there are not many things that Liu Cheng needs to be responsible for in the textile factory, and Su Baiyi asked him to remember one thing: except for the women who work inside, no one is allowed to enter the textile factory within ten steps. Even if it is his own person, who is curious and runs to the textile factory to find out, he grabbed it and directly picked up his pants and hit the top ten boards.

In addition, all the women who work in the textile factory live alone, and they are not allowed to contact outsiders when they are fine, let alone reveal anything about the inside of the textile factory.

In the whole refugee ranks, there were only 180 women, and these 180 were divided into three waves, 40 spinning workers, and two shifts during the day and evening shifts; There are 60 weavers, and they also work in two shifts during the day and evening. The remaining eighty people were all driven to the big warehouse to play cotton.

Strict management is one thing, and at the same time, Su Baiyi promised the workers that in addition to food and housing, everyone can get a salary of 20 yuan a day!

As soon as the news came out, it immediately exploded in the ranks of women.

Is this still a refugee?

Is this still a slave?

Impossible!

Is the servant still paid?

Twenty wen's wages a day, six hundred wen a month, and seven taels of silver if you don't stop for a year.

It is no different from working outside, but where is it so easy to find outside work. Even if there was no drought in the hometown back then, even if a man wanted to find a job, he had to beg his grandfather to tell his grandmother to find three aunts, six aunts and seven aunts.

But when he fled to Guide Mansion, this kind of good thing happened!

Women feel that they are not slaves in their masters' homes, and this is simply the happiest life.

Food, shelter, and salary?

Therefore, they did not resist the strict quarantine management in the slightest, but took it for granted!

When there were still ten days before the Chinese New Year, a third item suddenly appeared in the Yu Pavilion.

Calico!

Yuyuan is only responsible for the production of cotton cloth, not for dyeing cloth!

First, there are no conditions, but you can't cut off other people's lives in one go.

There are many small workshops for dyeing cloth in Guide Province, and after dyeing, you can add a little money and then sell it to the people.

Of course, most people buy white cloth directly and then get some paint to dye it themselves!

"Hey, shopkeeper Xiao, do you have a white cloth here?"

A woman who had come to buy soap saw the white cloth, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, let's Yuge from today onwards, selling cotton cloth!"

"Show me, quick, show me!"

Although the price has not been said, the woman is already a little impatient, the cover is because the cloth of the Mu family that they have used for a long time is too poor, since the Yuyuan has produced the cloth, even if the price is the same, the quality should still be good.

It doesn't make sense, I just think that the things in Yuyuan are easy to use, and they don't trick people!

During this period of time, Su Baiyi's reputation has risen to another level in Guide Mansion.

Since soap came out, it has always been in short supply, not only do you have to queue up to buy it, but Yuge also has to limit the purchase, and each family can only buy one piece.

But in this case, the lovely little Zhuge of Guide Mansion did not increase the price, and still sold it to the common people according to the standard of fifty yuan a piece.

According to the grapevine, when this thing can be mass-produced in the future, the price will be reduced!

What kind of person can have such a mind?

This is simply the compassionate Avalokiteshvara!

Therefore, behind the scenes, Su Baiyi's name has increased again, in addition to "Xiao Zhuge ", there is also an additional "Mr. Good!" ”。

The white cloth sold by Mr. Shan must be better than that of the Mu family!

When the woman got the white cloth, she didn't look at it carefully, but the thickness and weight of it made her happy.

When she unfolded the white cloth and saw the secret warp and weft lines together, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Shopkeeper Xiao, how much is this white cloth?" ”

"Three coins and a horse!" Shopkeeper Xiao replied with a smile, he didn't know why his master set such a low price, such a good white cloth, even if it was sold for five dollars of silver, a large number of people would buy it.

"What?"

The woman was stunned at the time, and thought she had misheard: "Shopkeeper Xiao, this cotton cloth is only 300 Wen, I heard it right, right?" ”

"You heard it right, it's three hundred texts!"

"Good, good!" The woman placed the basket on the counter and bowed respectfully to the sky.

The shopkeeper asked her what she was doing, and the woman said that she was saluting the good gentleman, which made the shopkeeper cry and laugh.

"I want one, no, I want two!"

The woman gritted her teeth and pulled the money out of her bosom.

"I'm sorry for you, this cloth is limited in quantity, and it is limited to purchase like soap, if you want, you can only buy one horse first!" The shopkeeper arched his hand at her: "Besides, you'd better not come a year ago, Bu Sui is good, but this benefit can't let your family take it all, right?" ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Su!" The woman's eyes were a little disappointed, but on the whole she was more happy than disappointed, and she took out three hundred wen and bought a piece of cloth.

The price of a piece of cloth is 300 Wen, and the profit is about 110 Wen, which is already considerable.

No matter how much money you earn, there is not much meaning, Su Baiyi's purpose is only two: to force the Mu family to give up the land of Yuyuan in this way for a while, and to change the world little by little.

"What? Four catties of cloth are only sold for 300 wen? I want one too! ”

"I want one too!"

"I want one!"

Yuge's business was originally good, and there was an endless stream of people queuing up to buy soap every day, and the price of white cloth naturally attracted the attention of others at this moment.

There was a second long queue in front of the counter.

Soon, the sixty pieces of cotton cloth produced overnight yesterday were sold out.

The people who bought the cloth left happily, and those who didn't buy it were still dissatisfied with the shopkeeper Xiao!

The stall hand of the shopkeeper Xiao said: "If you want to buy cloth, you can come and line up early tomorrow morning, and there should be dozens of cloths down by then!" ”

"Alright then, come early tomorrow and line up!"

Everyone reluctantly dispersed, and one by one they lined up behind the soap sellers.

The next day, it was still sixty horses!

On the third day, seventy pieces of cloth! Because five more shuttle looms were added.

On the fourth day, seventy pieces of cloth!

The cloth of Yuyuan, thick and cheap, swept the entire Guide Mansion in an instant.

……

"Master, the small ones have counted, the cloth in the Yuyuan has thirty wefts and sixty warps within one inch, which is much denser than ours. Therefore, for the same piece of cloth, ours only has three catties, but the cloth in Yuyuan has four catties! ”

A thin old man stood in the Mu family's cloth shop, bowing his head and reporting to Mu Yongjiang, who had a dark face.

Mu Yongjiang gritted his teeth, and smashed the thermos cup in his hand with hatred, so frightened that the shopkeeper and the workman didn't dare to say anything.

"Su Baiyi, you deceive people too much!"

He already knew about the cotton cloth in Yuge on the first day it went on the market, but at that time he still suspected that Su Baiyi deliberately made boils.

But the next day, he was a little shaken.

Or sixty pieces of cloth!

On the third day, seventy pieces of cloth!

This morning, Yuge still sold seventy pieces of cloth.

I know it with my toes, people produce so much every day, and after they are produced, they can be sold immediately.

But it's impossible, Su Baiyi only took more than 20 days from threatening himself to weave cloth, then buy cotton, and then sell cloth, and add a piece of cloth before and after.

And I haven't heard that Su Baiyi is buying spinning wheels and looms on a large scale.

So how did he make sixty pieces of cloth a day?

Sixty pieces of cloth a day, that's the output of nearly 500 machines.

Let's not talk about the output.

As far as the quality of this cotton cloth is concerned, the cost of cotton and labor alone is 350 wen, but the cloth of Yuge is only sold for 300 wen, which means that they will lose 50 wen for every piece of cloth sold.

What is Su Baiyi's picture?

Mu Yongjiang didn't think that Su Baiyi could make money, so Su Baiyi must be against himself!

In that case, let's break the net!
