After nearly half a year of preparation, not long after the arrival of the new guns ordered from Germany, the textile mill, which had already installed all the equipment, including 20,000 spindles and 300 looms, finally entered the three stages of furnace test, engine test and test run.

Although the workers and foreign technicians were very attentive when installing the equipment, many problems were exposed when carrying out the three stages of testing. It took a whole month for the technicians to solve all the problems exposed in these three stages, so that the textile mill could be officially put into production.

As the first machine textile factory in Wuhu and even Anhui, on the day of official production, it is natural to invite local gentry and celebrities in Wuhu to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony.

After receiving Yan Shao's invitation, some gentry and celebrities in Wuhu County and the local area were also gladly invited, and some people related to the textile industry were even thinking about whether there was a possibility of cooperation with Yan Shao in the future.

However, when the factory was about to be put into production, Yan Shao, as the landlord, was not the protagonist of the ceremony...

"I have heard for a long time that the governor loves calligraphy and painting antiques, and there are a few treasures of the Song Dynasty in his hometown, I don't know if there is such an honor..."

"Otherwise, don't I know what kind of goods you have at home, old man? Or please come to my house..."

"Your family is not much better than his, adults still come to my house..."

Dozens of local gentry and celebrities are spitting in order to compete for this 'governor'. And this governor who stole all the limelight from Yan Shao is naturally Chengxun, the governor of Anhui.

As the highest-ranking official in Anhui, whether it was out of politeness or otherwise, Yan Shao still had to issue an invitation letter after all. Even if Chengxun did not help much in the process of building the textile factory.

Originally, Yan Shao thought that Chengxun would send a subordinate over at most, but he didn't expect that the most obvious person was actually him. As a result, Yan Shao, as the protagonist, was all stolen from the limelight at once.

"I wouldn't have invited that guy if I had known that way..."Looking at Chengxun, who was surrounded by everyone, Yan Shao complained to Elaline and Caterina beside him.

As a young man in his early 20s, Yan Shao naturally won't be uninterested in being in the limelight, let alone in front of his own woman. Who would have thought that today's focus was snatched away by an old man in his 50s, which naturally made Yan Shao complain.

Looking at Yan Shao's complaining appearance, Elaline and Caterina pursed their lips and smiled.

With a tall and plump figure, coupled with a glamorous appearance, Yan Shao, who is used to seeing him, is nothing, but others feel that their eyes are bright. In addition, the two of them were originally the focus of the audience, and now this smile suddenly attracted the eyes that were originally focused on Seungxun.

However, while feeling amazing, many people shook their heads regretfully.

No matter how you look at it, Eleno and Caterina can be called stunners, but the height of 1.78 meters may be just right for Yan Shao, who is 1.85 meters, but it is too tall for those who are less than 1.7 meters or even less than 1.6 meters in the field...

In fact, even in Europe, the height of the two was a little too tall for those around them, after all, the height of white people in this period was not as exaggerated as it was later. Bertrand would have brought a group of young men back from Madagascar, but he was also afraid that his daughter would be too tall to marry, otherwise, Elaino, the 'flower of Marseille', would not have been picked by Yan Shao.

However, from the side, this is also tantamount to denying Yan Shao's words.

Because standing in the crowd, the three of them are like standing out from the crowd, and the people around them will involuntarily focus on the three of them, even if they want to ignore them.

Chengxun came this time not only for the textile factory, the establishment of the textile factory is important, but as the governor of Anhui, he also has a lot of things to do every day. So even if Yan Shao sent an invitation, he only needed to send someone over to congratulate him.

This time, Chengxun came to Wuhu, mainly for the purpose of patrolling the battalion.

Generally speaking, the governor is responsible for inspecting the local officials of the province, in charge of the province's customs duties, administration, etc., and if there are soldiers, he supervises the food and salary. Each township examination is supervised by the governor as a rule, and the martial arts department is examined by the governor. The governor has a military camp under his jurisdiction, named "Fubiao". However, in the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803), the governor of Anhui was given the rank of commander and could govern the army of the whole province.

Now that the patrol battalion has been established, he has also come to see how it is, as for Yan Shao, he is just by the way. After all, Yan Shao has also given him a lot of gifts anyway, and since he has time, he won't give this face...

"Okay, okay, it's time, let's get started!!"

looked at his watch and saw that the time had come, and a young man who followed Yan Shao back from the United States and was in charge of the spinning workshop said loudly.

Because the factory was just started, the management of the textile mill was relatively simple.

The textile factory has a general manager, which is served by Yan Shao himself. There are four managers under the general manager, who are in charge of the main departments, these four managers are the four old guys that Lu Yuanding helped Yan Shao find, and one is to take care of the ash factory.

In terms of production department, according to the different production procedures, there are six factories (workshops) for ginning, clearing, textile, yarn shaking, baling and weaving, and the textile workshop is divided into roving workshop and spinning workshop, in addition to engine, machine repair and other workshops.

Yan Shao in front of them was the ginning workshop, and under the order of the workshop supervisor, young female workers walked into the workshop in rows.

Yan Shao and the others, who were only happy, did not notice that when these female workers walked into the workshop, they did not have the slightest joy on their faces. On the contrary, some people's faces showed expressions of death...

In the roar of the machine, the cotton purchased from Nantong quickly turned into cotton bales, and then these cotton bales were sent by workers to the Qinghua factory not far away for further processing...

Seeing that everything was going smoothly in the factory, the invited officials and local gentry and celebrities all gathered around to congratulate Yan Shao. Some people who are looking at the heat have even begun to consider whether to raise funds to set up a spinning mill as well.

The success of Dasheng Yarn Factory, these people are not unheard of. In addition, spinning is indeed called a huge profit, and many people have moved their minds in this regard.

Just thinking about the scale of the Wuhu textile factory, these people gave up after the worst.

Yan Shao spent 1.5 million yuan, and they had already heard about the purchase of machinery from Jardine Matheson. If you include the construction of the factory and the training of female workers, the total cost is probably no less than 2 million.

And they can get together two or three hundred thousand at most, and build a factory near such a Big Mac, it is so embarrassing that it is nothing, I am afraid that they will not only lose face in the end, but even lose a lot of money to go in...

In that case, it won't be worth the loss for them...
