Zhang Yuanxiang has been running a weaving workshop for less than a year or two, and he knows the Tao well, and when he heard the words, his eyes lit up obviously, but he soon dimmed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's easier said than done to be more efficient.

Yang Shenghai next to him also said: "Young Master, do you want to extend the time and let the weavers work for six hours a day?" ”

Zhangjia Weaving Workshop is relatively humane, the weavers work for five hours a day, that is, ten hours, and some weaving workshops, the weavers get up early every day and work for six hours a day, that is, twelve hours of work.

In this era, there is no labor law, you love to do it or not, and the owners of the weaving mill are very angry.

Zhang Feng said: "No, there is no need to extend everyone's working time. ”

"Really!" Yang Shenghai looked at Zhang Feng in disbelief.

"Feng'er, do you really have a way?" Zhang Yuanxiang also looked at Zhang Feng with bright eyes.

Zhang Feng said confidently: "Of course, of course I have a way, I am confident that I can improve the weaving efficiency exponentially." ”

Doubling the efficiency of weaving!

Zhang Yuanxiang immediately started the activity in his heart, doubling the efficiency, he could save a lot of wages, and the cost of a piece of cloth could be reduced by two or three hundred yuan.

A piece of cloth lowers two or three hundred dollars!

After such a calculation, Zhang Yuanxiang was shocked in his heart, if this can really be the case, then his weaving workshop is a hen that lays golden eggs.

Zhang Yuanxiang said again: "Feng'er, is there really a way to double the efficiency?" ”

Zhang Feng said: "Father, I really have a way. ”

"Good, good, great." Zhang Yuanxiang was so happy that he said a few good words again and again, and then made the wisest decision in this life, Zhang Yuanxiang said: "Feng'er, this weaving workshop for my father is not for sale, and it will be handed over to you from today on." ”

Then, Zhang Yuanxiang said again: "Steward Yang, from today onwards, everything in the weaving workshop will be up to the eldest young master." ”

Yang Shenghai said: "Yes! In the future, I will listen to the eldest young master. ”

………

After returning from his own weaving workshop, Zhang Feng closed the door and hid in his room, Zhang Yuanxiang thought that Zhang Feng was resting and recuperating from his injuries, but in fact, Zhang Feng was drawing.

Yes, drawing!

A blank sheet of paper was spread out on the table, and Zhang Feng was drawing a design drawing, if you are a knowledgeable person, you will understand that this is the design sketch of "Flying Shuttle".

In the history of textiles, no, in the entire first industrial revolution, the shuttle occupies a very important position, it is the emergence of the shuttle, which promoted the development of the textile industry, thus promoting the development of the steam engine, and promoting the first industrial revolution.

The shuttle is actually a shuttle with a small wheel installed in a chute, and springs are installed at both ends of the chute so that the shuttle can travel back and forth extremely quickly. Therefore, the shuttle can make the weaving speed faster. It can greatly improve the weaving efficiency.

Zhang Feng, who was born in engineering, naturally has no problem with drawing the design drawings of the shuttle, the only trouble is that there is no pencil, and the brush is obviously not suitable for drawing engineering design drawings, so Zhang Feng can only temporarily replace it with charcoal strips.

After drawing the design drawing, Zhang Feng was determined, and the next step was to find a more clever blacksmith to make this shuttle.

The only difficulty in making a shuttle may be in the production of springs, you need to find spring steel, and you can only make springs with the right steel.

In order to keep it secret and prevent leakage, Zhang Feng drew all the parts design drawings, and these parts were assembled together to form a shuttle.

In fact, the shuttle can not only improve the weaving efficiency of cotton cloth, but also improve the quality of cotton cloth, as well as weave wider cotton cloth.

If you use a shuttle, not only can you do the weaving work by one person, but you can also weave a wider and better quality cotton cloth than before, and of course, the efficiency is also higher.

"Well, the shuttle is designed, and accordingly, the loom should also be improved accordingly in order to adapt to this shuttle and increase the weaving efficiency exponentially." Zhang Feng thought so in his heart.

"Perhaps, this will solve the current dilemma." Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Fengshou prepared these design drawings and prepared to go to the city to find craftsmen to manufacture the shuttle and test it on the loom as soon as possible.

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Feng heard that there seemed to be movement from the direction of the living room, and there seemed to be some quarrel.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Feng wondered in his heart, because this voice was not Zhang Yuanxiang's, but a relatively unfamiliar voice.

Full of doubts in his heart, Zhang Feng immediately walked towards the living room, and when he walked into the living room, Zhang Feng found that his father was talking to a few people.

His father sighed in a low voice, as if he was still begging for something, and behind Zhang Yuanxiang stood an old man in his fifties, this was Zhou Xiaohai, the housekeeper of his family.

In addition to his father and housekeeper, there were three people on the other side, led by a middle-aged man with a goatee, triangular eyes, and a bad look.

The middle-aged man had a loud voice, with a cold face, as if he was persecuting Zhang Yuanxiang, and the fierce voice just now was made by the middle-aged man.

Seeing Zhang Feng, Zhang Yuanxiang immediately said: "Feng'er, why are you here, your injury is not completely healed, go back to the room to rest." ”

In such a situation, how could Zhang Feng go back to the room, Zhang Feng sat down on a chair next to Zhang Yuanxiang, and said steadily: "I have basically fully recovered, father, what is the matter?" Who are these people? ”

Zhang Yuanxiang said: "This is Boss Xu, who is here to collect debts." ”

It turned out that he was here to ask for money, Zhang Feng knew that his father had borrowed two thousand taels of silver from the other party, and the other party's attitude was actually cold and arrogant, which was completely forcing the rhythm of repaying the money.

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Feng, snorted coldly, and then said toughly: "Boss Zhang, how is the money prepared, there are only five days left." ”

Zhang Feng pondered for a while, and said loudly: "Boss Xu, there is still a five-day deadline, and you actually asked you to come to the door in person?" ”

Zhang Feng's meaning is obvious, since there are still five days before the deadline for repaying the money, what are you anxious about, what are you urging, and your attitude is still so cold and arrogant.

Zhang Feng opened his mouth, Zhang Yuanxiang was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at his son, Zhang Yuanxiang felt that his son was getting more and more different, more and more mature, more and more imposing, and no longer as young as before.

The middle-aged man stretched out four fingers and said coldly, "There are still five days?" That's four thousand taels, and as far as I know, so far, you're afraid that you haven't raised all four hundred taels. ”

Zhou Xiaohai, the housekeeper next to him, hurriedly said: "Boss Xu, you miscalculated, our master only borrowed two thousand taels at the beginning, and even if you count the interest, there is no four thousand taels!" ”

The middle-aged man said: "Li Luoli, a total of four thousand taels, or I will count it for you again." ”

Zhou Xiaohai knew that if it was a profit and the interest was very high, the principal of two thousand taels at the beginning might really reach four thousand taels now.

Loan sharks, who simply eat people without spitting out bones, the principal of two thousand taels has doubled in a year, and four thousand taels have to be repaid.

Zhang Yuanxiang said angrily, and begged again: "Boss Xu, can you give another month of grace, my weaving workshop has found a buyer, and in another month, I will definitely pay back the money then." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Yuanxiang and said coldly: "Boss Liu, I don't think you will be able to repay my four thousand taels of silver even in two months." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man snorted coldly, looked arrogant, and stopped talking.

A retinue next to the middle-aged man looked at the house, and said slowly: "Boss Zhang, the house is good, if you can't pay the money, then use the house to pay, we can suffer a little loss." ”

Shameless, very shameless!

Such a house, with a façade in front and a house in the back, is worth at least five or six thousand taels of silver, and the other party actually said that he had suffered a little loss, which was really shameless.

Last time, he was beaten by the second young master of the Xu family with a few entourages, Zhang Feng has been thinking about revenge, the middle-aged man is the father of the second young master of the Xu family, he didn't find the little one, and it's not bad to have a bad anger on the old one, in addition, this middle-aged man is not a good bird.

With such a thought in his heart, Zhang Feng said coldly: "There are still five days before the deadline for repayment, and we will definitely repay the money then, now, you are not welcome here, you all let me out." ”

The middle-aged man, that is, Xu Shunben, didn't think that Zhang Feng was even more arrogant than himself, he was angry in his heart, and said loudly: "You, you ......"

Zhang Feng said: "What are you, get out of here!" ”

Xu Shun was so angry that he trembled, he jumped to his feet and yelled: "You, you're too disrespectful, let's go!" If you can't pay it back then, see how I clean you up."

After speaking, Xu Shunben stared at Zhang Feng fiercely, Zhang Feng must not be weak, he stared back, and thought in his heart, what do you see, Lao Tzu is afraid of you!

Zhang Feng is really not a master who is afraid of things, anyway, he and the Xu family are already on the same page, Zhang Feng will not be afraid, and he will not give the other party the slightest face.

Seeing Zhang Feng like this, Xu Shun knew that he couldn't please him today, so he could only drop another sentence fiercely, "You wait and see." ”

After watching Xu Shunben wait out, Zhang Yuanxiang sighed and said slowly: "Feng'er, you were reckless just now. ”

Zhang Feng knew that his father was still holding on to hope, and wanted to put down his body in front of Xu Shunben, say some good things, and strive for the other party to have some more time.

But this is impossible, Zhang Feng reasoned, he was afraid that borrowing money was a trap designed by the other party a long time ago, and the purpose was to get this mansion of his own family.

Zhang Feng said: "Father, this is the only way to deal with them, you can't give a good face, by the way, how did we go to the Xu family to borrow money in the first place?" ”

The Xu family has never had a good reputation, especially in lending usury, and in the past few months, they have forced to death a bitter master who failed to repay the money.

Zhang Yuanxiang said: "I just needed a sum of money at the beginning, I don't know how the Xu family knew that I was short of money, so I took the initiative to come to the door and promised to lend me two thousand taels, hey, now it seems that everything is not so simple." ”

Zhang Feng's heart was like a mirror, sure enough, it was like this, his guess was not wrong, the purpose of the other party's borrowing money was really to take this mansion for himself.

Seeing Zhang Yuanxiang with a bitter face, sighing there, Zhang Feng said: "Father, don't worry, I have found a way to improve the weaving efficiency, and the weaving speed will be doubled, and we will soon have the money to repay the Xu family." ”

Did you find a way to improve the efficiency of weaving so quickly?

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanxiang's face finally improved a little, and gradually turned cloudy to sunny, "Feng'er, so I can rest assured." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yuanxiang finally felt light, and even Zhou Xiaohai next to him was happy, happy for Zhang Feng.
