At the end of November, Baotou has become extremely busy, all the work has been rolled out, engineering and factories, countless people are here, swaying their hard sweat.

The winter in the north is always unusually cold, starting from the first snow in October, and later, every time accompanied by the cold air going south, the rain and snow weather, almost one after another, making the earth a world covered in silver, just like the scenery when Yang Yuanzhao just crossed half a year ago.

In the northern country in winter, it should be a forbidden area for life, most of the animals and plants, are in the cat winter, under the thick snow, is a world full of life, waiting for the next year, there is a good harvest.

The planting of wheat has ended, the germination rate is above the expected, except for a small part of the need to replant, the rest, basically no problem, when it grows to a certain distance dù above, the snowflakes fall, a thick layer of snow, covering the wheat seedlings, the wheat cover triple quilt, the next year's harvest, this saying, is talking about winter wheat, cold weather, will make most of the pests, are frozen to death, the next year's pests and diseases will be reduced, although the ice and snow bring low temperature, but will leave a part of the temperature of the land, plus after turning into water, Replenishing enough water for the land, a certain amount of dù will ensure the growth of wheat seedlings, and the wheat will still grow tenaciously upward in the severe cold.

The matter of wheat, the agricultural research institute is in charge of the whole power, with the help of a few classmates, some of the most basic research, has entered the formal, they except occasionally, will monitor the situation of wheat, the rest, are doing the cultivation of cotton seeds, from last year's planting and receiving cotton seeds, as a sample, cross and scientific cultivation, to prepare for the next year's cotton seeds, the increase in manpower, coupled with the increase of some scientific instruments, this year's cotton planting, will not just import the United States of continental cotton, you know, The continental cotton that can be exported is not the best variety of American cotton, it is all selected.

Last year's planting season, so that the mainland cotton began to adapt to the climate of Baotou, this year, on this basis, the best of the best, and after one or two generations of training, may not necessarily be higher than the original mainland cotton, from a certain Cheng dù above, will not be worse than the United States continental cotton.

The advantage of agricultural scientific research lies in this aspect, more than ten or twenty catties per acre of land, planting a few acres, dozens of acres, this promotion is not obvious at all, but when the planting area is divided into 10,000 acres, tens of thousands of acres, or even millions of acres, this income is very amazing, take 6 million acres of land, seed cotton per mu more income of 20 catties, It is more than 120 million catties, and the cotton yield increases by 0.1, bringing income, at least more than 10,000 tons, which is a cash crop of cotton, worth thousands of yuan per ton of cotton, under certain circumstances, every increase in output is net profit.

After receiving the combined task of industrial and agricultural production, Yang Yuanzhao put more thought on the overall adjustment, in order to complete the profit of 50 million US dollars in the shortest possible time, light industry must be developed, Baotou's light industry, so far, only daily chemical and textile, other based on this basis, may be carried out, only matches, daily necessities, and papermaking and printing, the latter, temporarily not very convenient to carry out, three acids and two alkalis, is the basis of the paper industry, but at hand, there is no suitable personnel, Hasty development, on the contrary, the gains outweigh the losses.

After inventory, Yang Yuanzhao for the situation in Baotou, is well understood, the development of Baotou is quite good, has taken root in the building materials industry, the future of steel manufacturing, will lay a solid foundation for Baotou, continue to expand the existing industry in Baotou, has become an inevitable choice.

The expansion of the industrial zone in Baotou, as well as the repair of the road, has already been completed, the first 50 kilometers of cement road to be built, just the industrial zone is connected to each other, the newly built various factories, caustic soda, sodium oxide, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, have also been built, the chemical factory has some strange bottles and cans, as well as the smell emitted, so that there is a prototype of an industrial city, occupying the heart of Baotou, the most important thing, is still the cotton textile factory, which has replaced the cement factory, has become a landmark building.

The cotton textile mill is not tall, the tallest building is only two floors, rows of light steel structure of the factory, row by row is very neat, there are as many as 12 rows, each building is the same appearance, covering the most extensive area.

Cotton textile mill, is Baotou now, the highest recognition rate, cut by all kinds of shareholders of the most valued industry, from the beginning of the construction, has attracted a lot of attention, the eight major Jin merchants, various shareholders, and even the general public, are concerned about the textile mill.

After more than a month of construction, the factory building of the cotton textile mill has already been built, it is still the outer wall and the inner wall of cement, and there is no time to put a layer of lime on the map, many shareholders do not care, they care about making money, whether the factory is luxurious, whether the decoration is beautiful, it doesn't matter at all, in the south, many yarn mills, most of them are in some temporary rooms, even grass sheds.

In the real yàn building, the female workers recruited from all over the country, on the machine qì given by Yang Yuanzhao, are constantly skilled, close to 2000 skilled workers, driving a part of the ordinary workers, Yang Yuanzhao's spinning machinery, weaving machinery, all refer to the standards of later generations, more design is relatively simple, as much as possible to reduce the difficulty of operation of many workers.

After more than a month of training, especially later, with more and more weaving and spinning machines, the textile women workers have more and more time to practice on the machine, of course, all aspects of the action is also very skilled, under the promotion of spare no effort, even regardless of the cost of training, in the end, the workers are qualified.

You must know that modern production, and even the emergence of assembly lines, is to make a worker familiar with one aspect of the workpiece, not all and all, in this case, the quality of the produced things will be good. The textile mill is the same, different from the previous spinning workers, but also look at the quality, after a lot of research and comparison, out of the spinning equipment, fast, efficient, workers do not have to think about other problems, just need to use up the thread to connect it, after the initial jerky, do not dare, and even repeatedly, the spinning workshop is considered to be formal, three shifts, even four shifts have been completed, about 60,000 cotton spindles, have been installed in the spinning workshop, a large number of mechanical cotton yarn, was spun out.

The processed cotton, under the action of the machine, has become a variety of cotton yarn with different counts, from the most 14 counts, 15 counts, to more than 30 counts of high counts, and even the highest, reaching 48 counts, which is already the limit of the current spinning machine.

The cotton yarn workshop was carried out smoothly, and the foundation of the entire cotton mill was laid, and the Westernization Movement, the textile mills opened in various places, basically, were all yarn mills, because the yarn mill invested the least equipment, the personnel were easier to recruit, and the sales volume was also good, which in a sense, avoided the competition with foreign advanced cotton cloth, and it was also a misplaced competition.

Since Yang Yuanzhao opened a cotton textile factory, he did not intend to dislocate the competition, advanced equipment, accurate machine, is the root of the success of the cotton textile factory, he from the beginning, took into account all aspects of cotton weaving, from the very beginning of cotton, to cotton yarn, to cotton cloth, and even the future printing and dyeing, if not China, there is no habit of wearing ready-to-wear, he even got the garment factory out.

Compared with the rapid progress of cotton yarn, the progress of the weaving workshop is slightly slow, itself, China's most, is the yarn factory, not the cloth factory, the more famous Chinese cotton cloth, more relying on manual textile, the current establishment of many government-run, private cotton textile enterprises, just spinning, no weaving, weaving requires a large number of skilled workers, even if it is scientifically designed, reducing a lot of subjective things, weaving is still a technical work.

In the cotton textile plan, at the beginning, from the south, from the most concentrated place in China's textile industry, almost 500 weaving women were recruited, these female workers, in the previous one or two months, but barely familiar with the weaving technology, the rest, still on the real yàn machine qì, gradually realize weaving, reduce the difficulty of weaving, not the female workers who do not know anything about this can be competent, as a last resort, had to choose from the already basic personnel, more talented, Then strengthen the training, but unfortunately the time is too short, so far the 1,500 people selected can barely weave under the guidance of others, but it is inefficient, and the distance from skilled hands is at least more than three times worse.

Originally, among the cotton textile mills, the number of looms was larger than the number of spinning machines, but there were no workers, spinning and weaving, at this moment, the imbalance was up, the weaving rate of spinning yarn was less than 10, and the remaining cotton yarn was piled up, more and more, and the efficiency of efficient spinning machines has become a burden to restrict the overall production, and more and more cotton yarn is either directly retailed and sold to farmers so that they can use it to make homespun cloth, or it will be sold elsewhere and piled up. It will just be piled up in warehouses.

China's traditional small-scale peasant economy, spinning and weaving, are all done in one piece, Baotou is not a traditional weaving area, there are sporadic weaving stocks, but such a number is too small, not suitable for sale.

It seems that the money-making cotton textile factory, even before the start of sales, there is a large backlog, this is just trial production, the difficulty of recruiting spinning workers, far easier than weaving workers, even in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where cotton textile is very developed, may not be able to find so many weavers, a choice, appeared in front of Yang Yuanzhao.
