"This ...... It's a sewing machine! ”

After trying out the sewing machine, Li Guangyan couldn't hide the shock in her eyes at all, and she even looked up at Yu Guozhen with some disgrace, her eyes were like the ink bamboo beside her, all of them were flashing with starlight.

You must know that the most time-consuming and eyesight-consuming thing in garment making is sewing and weaving, she is considered to be proficient, and it is fast to be able to sew two pieces of clothing a day, and she must stay up late if she has more.

With a sewing machine, she can weave into one piece, and in a day, she can weave dozens of pieces!

Mo said that she was so familiar with the bamboo, which was usually only able to give her a hand, so she went up and tried it, and she could sew clothes decently. Sewing nearly ten pieces a day shouldn't be a problem!

Li Guangyan can imagine that if she has ten such sewing machines, and then finds ten weaver girls, after becoming familiar with the machines, she can weave hundreds or even thousands of pieces of clothing every day, then the labor cost of a hundred pieces of clothing is only slightly higher than the previous one piece of clothing, and its price is cheaper than that of the common people sewing clothes themselves, but it is slightly higher than the price of cloth.

If the clothes she designed were more beautiful with some cloth and more beautiful, then it would really be a way to make a fortune!

"This ...... This...... Yu Gongzi, the price of this sewing machine ......" She looked at the sewing machine, stretched out her hand and asked lovingly.

In Yu Guozhen's technical reserves, the sewing machine is one of the keys, in the future he needs to order a large number of fabrics, uniforms, if he relies on his own to organize production, time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive, but if the garment manufacturing industry is transferred to others, he only needs to buy the clothes he needs from the other party.

As for profits...... Although the sewing machine process is simple and easy to imitate, if you want to have some better quality sewing machines, you must buy them from him!

Therefore, the price of the sewing machine will not be cheap at first.

"One...... A hundred taels? ”

"Yes, a sewing machine is a hundred taels." Yu Guozhen said: "A sewing machine can be used for ten years, and if it breaks down within ten years, I will send someone to repair it, and only charge a very low cost for parts." Miss Li should know that a sewing machine can make a profit of as much as 100 taels a year, that is to say, after a year's hard work, the sewing machine will come back. ”

Li Guangyan was slightly gloomy, one hundred taels of silver, for a medium-sized family, it is true that she can squeeze it out by gritting her teeth, but for her, it is still too much money, and she may need to sell her most valuable property, the remote courtyard, to be able to make up this money.

"If Miss Li is interested, my Butterfly brand sewing machine is willing to give Miss Li credit." Immediately afterwards, Yu Guozhen threw out another fruit that Li Guangyan couldn't imagine: "It's not one, but fifty sets of credit with Miss Li!" ”

"What...... What the? Li Guangyan felt as if she was stunned by a pie falling from the sky, she made a movement that has always been rare, twisted her ears hard, and then said: "Yu Gongzi...... Say it again, please! ”

"I'm willing to give Miss Li 50 butterfly sewing machines on credit - butterflies are the signature of my sewing machine." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "The only requirement is that Miss Li can pay off the two reserves within three years." ”

"Pay off two reserves in three years!" Li Guangyan calculated in his heart, 50 sets is 5,000 taels of silver, and two reserves will be repaid within three years, that is, 10,000 taels will be repaid within three years, and 50 sets of units can create at least 5,000 taels of net profit in one year!

"For ...... Why a little girl? After the excitement, joy and excitement passed, Li Guangyan came back to her senses, and she said in a low voice: "Why should Yu Gongzi hand over such a profitable business to others?" ”

"Although it is to make money, the money in the world cannot be earned by one person." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "I have the art of pearls, which has attracted countless covetous hearts, if I monopolize the benefits of weaving clothes, it will be the government and the court, but I am afraid that I will not be allowed." ”

Li Guangyan heard this and was silent for a while: "If the little woman monopolizes the benefits of weaving clothes, won't she also be coveted?" ”

"It's just a year to earn 10,000 taels of silver, with Miss Li's cleverness, she naturally has a way to deal with it, isn't it?"

Li Guangyan lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes fluttering slightly. Yu Guozhen looked at this girl, and did not urge, but smiled faintly.

Judging from what he understands and what he has just talked to, this Li Guangyan seems to be weak, no different from other ladies, but in fact, this woman is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is smart and assertive. She has no external force to rely on, so she can only tie her interests closely to the Yu family in exchange for Yu Guozhen's protection.

If she can make that suggestion, then Yu Guozhen's test of her will be completely over.

After a while, Li Guangyan saluted: "Little woman...... Willing to set up this garment workshop in Xiang'an! ”

Yu Guozhen looked at her, and then laughed: "Since this is the case, if you need any help, just look for my cousin." ”

She thought of setting up the ready-to-wear workshop in Xiang'an, which was more bold and frank than Yu Guozhen expected, almost saying that she was going to work for Yu Guozhen.

"However, Xiang'an is too far away from Nanjing, and the main sales objects of ready-to-wear are Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou, so I suggest you still put it in Nanjing." Yu Guozhen said again: "At the beginning, others didn't know your reality, they only needed to do a little errand to deal with the head snake, but after three or five years, they felt that it was wrong...... I think Miss Li should also have the power to protect herself at that time. ”

"Yes." When Li Guangyan heard this, he glanced at Yu Guozhen deeply.

She originally thought that she had understood Yu Guozhen, but after these words, she felt that she still underestimated the size and mind of the young man in front of her.

Thinking of this, she boldly raised her head again and stared at Yu Guozhen: "Young Master Yu...... The little girl will live up to her expectations! ”

"Huh."

Yu Guozhen didn't care, his batch of sewing machines was the product of carpenter Jiang Quan and blacksmith Ji Xun under the guidance of Yu Guozhen for half a year, there were only sixty in total, he originally wanted to take it to Qinzhou, but now he met such a strange woman as Li Guangyan, Yu Guozhen felt that maybe she would handle it, and it was better to deal with it himself.

Speaking of this, he was speechless, and Li Guangyan said: "I don't know who Yu Gongzi ordered the little girl to cut her clothes?" ”

"Please go here, they're all in the yard." Yu Guozhen said: "As for clothes, I still have some suggestions. ”

When it comes to entertaining people with Israel, where can this era compare to the era that Yu Guozhen wore from, after packaging, even the "sister" level characters have become the object of attention!

After sending away Li Guangyan, who would become the leader of the fashion industry, Yu Guozhen welcomed a new visitor. When he saw the prayer post presented, Yu Guozhen was stunned, and he didn't know why this person came.

The thorn reads "Wang Chuanlu, the director of the Shuiqing Officials Division of the Gongbu Du", this name Yu Guozhen has never heard of, but the director of the Gongbu Shuiqing Officials Division should be an official of the sixth grade, he wants to see himself, just send someone to invite him, why do you come to the door in person?

After a while, the chief of the gongbu was greeted by him, he was not very old, he looked like he was in his early thirties, and the people who followed him in had a slightly embarrassed smile on their faces, and Yu Guozhen recognized him as Wang Haoran, the county chief of honor who had been drunk with strong liquor.

"Huh?" Yu Guozhen's heart moved, could it be that after Wang Haoran knew his identity, he looked for a helper to find trouble? But just because of one of the directors of the Gongbu, and one of the directors who was sent to Nanjing to receive idle errands, they wanted to come to find trouble?

"Young Master Yu, may I ask if the technique of firing glass can really be successful?" Before the guests and hosts were seated, Wang Chuanyu couldn't wait to ask: "Can you really use that glass to replace window paper, or even to make mirrors?" I've also seen Ctessilai's glass, which is so hard and brittle that if it is to be practical, it must be cut, and what should be cut of it? ”

As soon as Wang Chuanyu asked, he asked the point, and Yu Guozhen was also surprised, the difficulty of making glass is really not too great, otherwise the Europeans would not be able to make it in ignorance, but how to cut glass is a big problem.

"The art of cutting, naturally, there is." Yu Guozhen smiled: "You two, please wait for a while." ”

After Yu Guozhen entered, after a while, he took out a porcelain plate, and pinched something similar to a drill in his hand, in front of the two of them, he used the drill to carve the porcelain plate, and after the harsh scratching sound, I saw an obvious scratch on the porcelain plate.

"Glass is a bit harder than porcelain, but with the knife in my hand, it's not a problem to cut it." Yu Guozhen smiled and raised the drill.

"This is ...... in your hand"

"If the hardness of this tool is ten, then the hardness of the best steel knife we use is seven, and the hardness of the kitchen knife at home is only five." Yu Guozhen said calmly.

To put it bluntly, this tool is just embedded with a grain of diamond sand. After Yu Guozhen recalled the firing method of glass, he thought of cutting glass, and at this time, someone in the Yuanjiang area of Hunan Province found diamonds in the river sand, Yu Guozhen asked Xu Lin to inquire, and then bought them all, and promised a heavy reward, asking them to continue to search.

With diamond sand, not only cutting glass, but also making all kinds of machine tools, he also has an important component.

It's just that in Wang Chuanyu's eyes, the cutter of the drill plate in Yu Guozhen's hand is extremely magical. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to ask for it, Yu Guozhen was not stingy, and directly showed him the knife, and he immediately found the diamond sand: "What is this?" ”

"I call it emery, and I take the name of King Kong is not bad." Yu Guozhen said.

Seeing Wang Chuanyu's appearance, he had long been sure that the other party was not here to help Wang Haoran find trouble. Wang Chuanyu got the knife, cut and drilled on the porcelain plate, and let out a low laugh from time to time, which was really no different from a child getting his favorite toy.

Wang Haoran coughed a few times in embarrassment, and did not let Wang Chuanyun come back to his senses, he looked at Yu Guozhen, and found that Yu Guozhen was also smiling and looking at him, so he could only bow his hand: "Then it is said that on the street, it is a loss of etiquette, and please don't blame Yu Gongzi." ”

"It's just a matter of this, Your Excellency He Lao is worried, the two of you are here today, is it just for this glass?"

"That's not all...... Don't hide it from Yu Gongzi, I also want to raise two teams to play, but I am shy in my pocket, I am afraid that I can't raise it, I happened to see Yu Gongzi's glass firing technique contained in "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous", and my brother is very interested in mechanical tools, so I came to ask Gongzi for advice. Wang Haoran said.

Yu Guozhen couldn't help laughing, it seems that he set off this Qin Huai Bayan competition, and it really played a great role in promoting his two books and one newspaper.

He could almost see that an industrial-based class would accelerate its division from the gentry, and this class would be one of his most important supporters in the future!
