Mrs. Song gestured with her hand, her eyes shining: "I just heard from the ladies in the house that they used to spin and weave cotton yarn, and they often broke the yarn, and the cotton cloth they weaved was not easy to use. It was said in the color magazine that it is necessary to build a semi-cellar-style house, which is conducive to maintaining a certain humidity and maintaining room temperature, so it can weave good cotton cloth. ”

"Oh? Weaving requires not only temperature, but also humidity? Can't weave cloth in the yard? "Song Rong often went to the barracks, and the women of those military families often weaved, and sometimes the house was too dark, and when the weather was good, they would move out of the loom to weave cloth in the yard, but they had never heard of this.

Mrs. Song sighed: "The Lan family's loom is not small, where can it be moved around!" ”

Song Rong opened the color journal on the table and looked at it carefully. The drawings of this loom are very detailed, and different colors are used, and there are marks on it, as if you can't understand it.

"Then the Lan family also recruits female workers to weave!" Mrs. Song instructed the maid to put things in order, and continued, "I also posted a notice this morning, if you can't understand the drawings, you will teach everyone to make a loom for free!" I heard that carpenters from several nearby villages outside the city had already arrived. ”

Song Rong was a little surprised, this Lan family has no selfishness, what is the picture? Just a good name?

"By the way, the Lan family also said that you can borrow money in installments...... Well, it seems that the village chief is the guarantor, and as long as you give half of the silver first, you can buy a loom. After half a year, half of the silver is left. Interest, it seems to cost a few pieces of cloth. Mama Xu, isn't that so? Mrs. Song said that she was not sure, and asked the woman next to her.

Mama Xu stepped forward and replied: "Madame remembers correctly, this interest does not cost silver, it seems that you can just pay a piece of cloth every month." It can be paid once** or once a month. It's all up to the village chiefs! Moreover, the Lan family also said that in addition to supplying these fabrics to the clerks and other long-term workers in the store, the rest will be directly made into garments and supplied to Salesian Workshop. ”

"How do you sell the loom?" Song Rong asked.

"Six taels of silver." Mama Xu responded.

"You say the loom is big? Isn't this price cheaper? Song Rong said. The looms of the military households generally cost five or six pieces of silver, and the better ones cost ten taels of silver.

Mama Xu smiled: "Such a loom has good workmanship and fast weaving, even if it sells for fifteen taels of silver, someone buys it." ”

This Lan family is really benevolent and righteous! This is what Mrs. Lan said, "Let the benefits benefit the people, and know the etiquette in a real way." Wonderful!

Since Cao'er's family of four moved into the Gewu workshop, Cao'er's father and Cao'er's mother have been responsible for cleaning and cooking. The grass weaves with the women, and the fruit follows the carpenter.

Although Lu Yingfang felt that Guo'er should go to school, Guo'er's father was already very grateful to the owner and thought that the kid was very happy to learn carpentry.

At the beginning, it was very spacious to rent a row of empty rooms. Except for Cao'er's family, who live on the far right, the rest of the carpentry masters and apprentices live on the far left. Of the forty women workers who signed up, twelve were left because of the limited machinery. They now weave in the two rooms on the right, while the craftsmen continue to work on the looms in the two houses on the left.

Orders for looms flew in like snowflakes. The carpentry in the nearby towns wanted to do it by themselves, but after only two days, they found that it was too troublesome, and they consumed too much time and energy. Later, the carpenters simply came to apply, and suddenly there were more people. It's just that the craftsmen who came later only received a salary and did not participate in the dividends.

They followed the assembly line method given by Lu Yingfang, split it, and finally assembled, and they could make a loom in a day or two.

Luckily, there hasn't been any snow lately, and several nearby villages have rushed over to pick up looms.

Di He responded to Lü Yingfang's request and sent people from Yamen to take up the town, and after the village chiefs had registered with the scribes, they happily loaded the loom onto the ox cart.

Some wealthy families with better conditions also sent horse-drawn wagons to transport goods, but they all gave the full amount.

Although most of the villagers paid half of the silver, the small profits were enough for Lu Yingfang to pay wages and dividends. As for how much you can earn? Lu Yingfang didn't care.

The rising merit value made her feel happy.

Because the villagers only paid half of the silver, they didn't have to worry about others calculating her property. After all, you still have to buy wood and a lot of tools, and you have to rent a house to start a business! Capable people know that she can't make any money when they do the math. So the Lan family is still very safe.

The education of granddaughter Wanting and Wanling is mainly responsible for the Zhao family, and she takes these two little ones with her when she is a housekeeper.

Qian tutored Wanting and Wanling in their homework when they had time, and Aunt Gu taught them some pharmacological knowledge when she had time.

Lu Yingfang thinks that girls know a little bit and can take care of themselves and their families in the future.

If you put it aside in the past and learn medical knowledge, that is what only craftsmen will do. However, the Lan family has no choice in front of them, not to mention that along the way, with Aunt Gu here, heat stroke or cold and fever are basically strangled in the cradle.

Therefore, neither Zhao nor Qian will object to their daughters learning these.

As for the four daughters, except for the occasional manuscript, they are all moving.

Except for Yaqing, who can't embroider things, the female celebrities of the remaining three daughters are not bad. The three of them also had to learn how to weave.

Yayu made a fuss when she heard it, but Lu Yingfang didn't care about her.

Each of the four daughters has to weave a horse of cloth every month, and the rest of the time is free to spend. Let them know the hard work of the working people, and better integrate into Youzhou in the future!

Aunt Bai was very dissatisfied, but she and Aunt Ma were the same, weaving a horse every month, and they had to do some housework the rest of the time!

Because there are only three girls, Biling, Kan'er and Xing'er, Biling follows her, Kan'er is beautiful and can't follow the three rooms, so she can only let her go to the big room to take care of the three children. Xing'er went to take care of Sun and Dingxin, who were waiting to give birth in the third room.

Anyway, Hao Ye's family is in charge of the kitchen, and Hao Fanger has to clean up. Kan'er and Xing'er mainly wash the clothes in each room, tidy up the things in the room, and occasionally cook some food for the young master. In this way, it is even less than the affairs of the Hou Mansion. After all, the house is small, the place is not spacious, and there are not so many rules.

However, Aunt Cen, Hao Ye's family, Hao Fang'er and others all expressed their desire to weave. Lu Yingfang generously gave it to them, after all, the machine was produced by herself, and the wood was cut directly by the villagers in the mountains, and it was transported by the Lan family's carriage and the villagers' ox carts.

Lan Rong calculated that a loom was not the cost of the craftsmen, but only the cost of freight, wood and copperware, and it was only one or two halves of silver.

Although their monthly money is now more than half less than that in the Hou Mansion, it is also more than the monthly money of the rich and noble families outside.

As a result, the Lan family often heard the sound of weaving. Later, Zhao and Sun came together, saying that the weaving was too noisy and affected the boys' learning. Later, all the looms were moved to the empty room next to the firewood room.

Yayu made a fuss for two days, but she was honestly weaving, for no other reason, her mother no longer doted on her!

Yajie is a person who understands current affairs, she misses her twins who are far away in the capital, in order not to let herself have time to think too much, but the weaver is the most diligent.

Yabing was reluctant to weave, and after weaving a piece of cloth, he concentrated on embroidering. Because she had a hard time in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and sometimes she would secretly embroider things and ask the girl to help them sell them, so the speed at which she embroidered the veil was not slow.

Yaqing is used to being wild in Zhuangzi, and it is difficult to sit and weave honestly, but he often goes to find a big cow. Now Da Niu has gone to learn to do carpentry and lives there directly. Everyone in the Lan family is busy at the moment, except for Aunt Ma, no one pays attention to her.

Therefore, Yaqing is the fastest person among the masters of the Lan family to be familiar with Pingyang Mansion.

Because of Lufeng County, a small remote county in Xipingzhou, Tao Ling was working, and Master Lu said: "You Zhou doesn't know when the second issue of the monthly magazine will be published?" ”

Tao Ling put down his pen: "I'm looking forward to it too!" ”

Master Lu looked at the young man in front of him, twenty-five years old is just right, but unfortunately he is only a fellow jinshi. At that time, he was reluctant to follow him to this small county town, but his colleagues persuaded him. Tao Ling is from Tao Lingzhi's family, and there are people in the court who are easy to do. Why don't you fight it?

When he first came to the county seat, Tao Ling was entangled in affairs and was anxious. Master Lu wanted to leave even more, but he didn't expect that Lord Tao Lingzhi, who was far away in Youzhou, actually remembered this distant junior and sent him a monthly magazine.

He and Tao Ling watched it several times, and also promoted the above recipes and methods of saving people in the counties under their rule. All of a sudden, the people felt that Tao Ling was really a good county order.

Since Tao Lingzhi intends to promote the younger generation, Master Lu is also happy to see it, and continues to assist Tao Ling with his heart.

"Report, my lord, a letter has been sent from the post station!" The official happily ran over with the letter, this thickness should be the monthly!

Although the officials are not very literate, Master Tao still asked the master to read the above words to them (although Master Lu looked reluctant and his attitude was not very good), the above recipes were practical and interesting. The officials all wanted to continue listening, did that old ancestor finally help Jiang Xuewei cheat? They also set up a gambling game in the yamen!

Moreover, Master Tao is very benevolent and righteous, and he also posted the patterns on the color magazines outside the yamen, so that the people can learn it!

Master Lu walked faster, he took the letter and couldn't wait to open it immediately. He handed it to Tao Ling, and saw Tao Ling go to the first edition. He hurried to the second edition, and when he saw the beginning, he immediately burst out laughing.

Tao Ling raised his eyes to look at him, and he immediately cleared his throat: "I made a bet with those bastards, one to five, well, please drink tonight." ”

You rough people, this monthly magazine is read by the common people, if the ancestors can cheat and be admitted to the imperial examination, what are you doing studying hard? There is a wound to educate! Hmph, fight with me, and I'll get money from them later.

Master Lu was beautiful in his heart, looking at it, the smile on his face disappeared, and he suddenly became serious, and then laughed again: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Tao Ling was about to read the content of the third edition, and when he saw what he was doing, he couldn't help asking, "What's the magic of this script?" ”

"My lord, you see, this Shanming monk is really a capable person!" Master Lu felt that the turbid breath in his chest had dissipated, hum, those rich people...... Hmph.
