The interview process was very fast, these people were specially selected by Ashley, and they were very suitable for McGonagall's requirements in all aspects, so McGonagall just asked a few questions, and selected ten elves from among them who best met his current requirements.

And the remaining ten also left their list, and if the seafood shop expanded, they could come straight to work.

"This is the address of the store, you will come here around nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will train you before the opening, and it will be open the day after tomorrow." McGonagall handed the address written on paper to his temporarily appointed foreman.

The elf, named Arya, is a mature and gentle elf with a gentle smile, full of affability, and a former head maid with some management skills, so McGonagall appointed her as the acting manager of the seafood shop.

He will provide them with a basic salary of 5,000 copper coins a month, as well as a certain percentage of the sales commission.

There is a month-end assessment every month, and the top three salesmen in terms of sales can get promotion opportunities and generous bonuses.

There are many people who can do it, and this is the tone that McGonagall has set for the seafood shop.

After the recruitment of employees was completed, McGonagall was accompanied by Ashley to learn about the current situation of the spinning mill.

As one of the actual controllers of the spinning mill, McGonagall owns half of the shares and is responsible for the sales of products, and has the same voice in the spinning mill as Irina.

At present, the mechanical spinning machine driven by the steam engine has passed the exploration period smoothly, and the twelve production lines are running efficiently and the production capacity is stable.

In the hand-spinning workshop, tens of thousands of elves use McGonagall's improved hand-spinning machines, and the number of spinning yarns per day is almost equal to the output of mechanical spinning machines.

"According to the current production capacity, the output of cotton yarn this month should be able to exceed 20,000 horses, and if there is no increase in spinning workers, the capacity will have limited room for growth." Ashley handed a report to McGonagall.

"The second month to reach 20,000 horses is far more than I expected." McGonagall took the report, but instead of looking at it, she looked at the busy elves in the spinning workshop, sometimes seeing traces of magic, and although the work was complicated, their faces were full of smiles, sometimes laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"How are the workers' schedules arranged?" McGonagall asked, looking at Ashley.

"It's 9 to 5 at the moment, staggered time and weekends, and the machines don't stop." Ashley replied.

"Has the restrictions on you been lifted from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Ashley was a little surprised by McGonagall's question, but quickly replied, "It hasn't been completely lifted yet, because of the large number of Night Elves, so there is a daily limit on the number of people leaving the factory, but it has been increased from the original five hundred to five thousand. ”

McGonagall nodded slightly, the City Lord's Mansion accepted the Night Elves into the city, but there were also his difficulties, and it was a good thing for each other to let the Night Elves slowly integrate into the city.

"I have received the first payment for 10,000 horses of cotton yarn, let the finance account today, and then I can pay them the first month's official salary, and live in the city of chaos, nothing can avoid money." McGonagall smiled.

"Okay." Ashley's eyes lit up, although McGonagall had advanced 1,000 copper coins to each elf before, and the factory's room and board were all included, but if she wanted to go out and buy something, she really had to be careful about it.

And paying wages to workers can also make them feel the harvest of their labor, which is completely different from being infinitely squeezed in the Forest of Winds.

"In addition, I also plan to introduce 12 more mechanical production lines for cotton yarn to improve production efficiency, without affecting the supply of cotton yarn, and leaving a part for finishing."

"Are you going to weave?" Ashley was a little surprised.

"Yes, cotton yarn is the lowest end of the industry, although we use mechanization to improve production efficiency, but in order to open the market and reduce the selling price, the profit margin is not high. After finishing into high-quality cotton cloth, the value will be greatly improved, and the room for profit improvement is also very considerable. McGonagall nodded, and added, "Of course, we only make the highest-end fine cotton cloth, and the output will not be too high. ”

Ai Xuli pondered and hesitated for a moment, she was still a little puzzled: "Since the profit of fine cotton cloth is higher, why don't we vigorously develop and make fine cotton cloth?" ”

"Scarcity is expensive, and if fine cotton cloth is rampant in the market, then its price will naturally fall." McGonagall smiled and shook her head, "Although monopoly can bring huge benefits, it will greatly hurt the practitioners in this industry and may lay the root cause for us.

While the industry will eventually experience a mechanical shock and a reshuffle, it will be a predictably slow process, not an overnight disruption. We just take the most generous money on the table, and it is not moral to lift the table. ”

Ashley suddenly looked at McGonagall's gaze with more and more admiration. Mr. McGonagall's pattern and vision are far beyond the reach of others.

McGonagall took a walk around the factory, the land that Irina had bought from the City Lord's Mansion was very large, and the current spinning workshop plus the Night Elves' living quarters were only half used, McGonagall roughly planned and divided the area of the new spinning workshop and the weaving workshop.

The loom has to go back to study slowly, but this thing, like the spinning machine, is not a high-precision machine, he remembers the ready-made medieval loom drawings, but the accuracy is too low, it will definitely not meet the requirements of fine cotton, and it needs to be further improved.

The steam engine has been introduced by him, and the textile industry will inevitably usher in great changes in the near future, McGonagall took off from the tuyere first, and by the time the steam spinning machine became popular, he was already playing the next industry.

Leaving the spinning mill, McGonagall went on a trip to Hill.

The appearance of the Old Dominator disrupted their original deployment of the steam locomotive, but the trial operation was successful, and as long as the peace talks continued, the steam locomotive would start a new century, and Hill was confident that the steam locomotive would begin.

McGonagall knew that Hill's judgment was correct, and that the steam engine was indeed about to start a new century, so he signed a new contract with Hill for the first priority supply of the steam engine.

"I heard that the textile mill that Mr. McGonagall is working with Princess Irina is on the right track, is it ready to expand so soon?" Hill signed the contract and looked at McGonagall with a smile.

"Yes, the efficiency improvement brought by machinery is very obvious, and it is an irreversible trend that many labor-intensive industries will be replaced by machinery, and the capitalists who master mechanical technology first will get the greatest benefits." McGonagall smiled and nodded, "Producing steam engines is naturally the best business. ”
