Chapter 530: Breaking Heaven and Earth (2)
In just two days, the 680 female workers recruited by the Yan family have all been recruited, among the 680 female workers, almost half are from Yan'anbao Town, and the other half are from various villages and towns around Yan'anbao, those villages and towns are not far from Yan'anbao, and it is convenient for the recruited female workers to come to Yan'anbao to work every day, and all the recruited female workers are all good at spinning and weaving at home.
After recruiting all these female workers, from April 12, these 680 female workers began to work, walked into the gate of the Yan'an Town Woolen Mill, and began to familiarize themselves with the brand-new spinning machines, looms, and the process of washing wool in the workshop.
Washing wool is not more difficult than washing cotton, the whole process of washing wool has a lot of similarities with washing cotton, and the principle of spinning and weaving is the same, the operation process is basically the same, the difference, but the spinning machine and loom in the woolen mill are brand new, as long as you adapt to it.
When the six hundred and eighty women who were chattering walked into the spacious and bright workshop for the first time, and looked at the brand-new spinning machines and looms placed on the ground one by one, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded, the loom was somewhat different from the loom they used at home, especially the shuttle on the loom, the two ends were pointed, slippery, and seemed to have pulleys underneath, especially the spinning machine, the female workers had never seen such a large spinning machine with sixteen spindles that could be placed vertically, such a weaving tool was far beyond their imagination。
"This new spinning machine, as well as the loom, are all made by Yan Gongzi, you will have to work on these spinning machines and looms in the future, I will teach you how to use them in these two days, if you learn well in the future, even if you don't work in this workshop, you can return home, and the family will pool money to buy a similar spinning machine, loom, one person spins yarn in a day, and weaves more cloth than ten people in a day, and we can feed the whole family and live a good life!" A gray-haired, well-dressed mother-in-law stroked the polished and varnished spinning machine beside her, and said to the women with emotion, " Yan Gongzi said that he created these things, that is, so that the women of the world can also earn money at home in the future, and earn more money than men, as long as they can manipulate these things well, women can earn money, they can stand up to the sky, they have status in the family, they can be respected by the in-laws and men in the family, and they will not be angry, these things, but for the women of our world to support the waist and the treasure of the long ambition, we can manipulate it well in the future, don't live up to Yan Gongzi's heart, we 680 women, we will be here, to make an example for the women of the world......”
The mother-in-law's words reached the hearts of all the women almost at once, and all the women were excited, and some of the women could not help but have red eyes and shed tears when they thought of their situation at home.
When studying later, all the women naturally studied with their hearts.
That night, when these women went home, they naturally told their families what they had seen and heard today, and it was naturally impossible to keep it secret from hundreds of women who had seen it, and Yan Liqiang didn't think about keeping it secret.
As a result, by the next day, almost the entire people in Pingxi County knew that the Yan family had a new type of spinning machine and loom that could increase the spinning efficiency and weaving efficiency by more than ten or twenty times, and at the same time, the Yan family had mastered the technology of degreasing wool and using it for weaving. According to those women who have seen wool textiles, there are already a small number of wool spinning out of several different specifications of fabrics in the Yan family's workshop, those fabrics are soft and elastic, the surface of the cloth is smooth and smooth, the texture is delicate and delicate, and it is particularly warm in the hand, which makes people love it at a glance.
It wasn't until this time that everyone suddenly realized why the Yan family had been frantically buying wool everywhere in the past few months, enclosing land and raising sheep, it turned out to be a useless thing like wool, and in the hands of the Yan family, it was completely turned into treasure, and it could be used to weave cloth. The cloth trade is the most profitable business in the Han Empire in addition to salt, how many wealthy families rely on this business to start their families, if the Yan family really masters this business, it is difficult to make money!
The so-called wealth is moving, and the entire Pingxi County is boiling, and the news is spreading rapidly from Pingxi County to all directions.
Many shrewd businessmen and big families in Pingxi County also reacted at this time and wanted to follow to buy wool, but it was also at this time that those who wanted to follow the trend looked around in Pingxi County and found that the wool in Pingxi County had long been monopolized by the Yan family and the Lu family, and there were not many scattered left, not only the wool was harvested, but there were not many left, and the Yan family bought a lot of land in the surrounding counties in addition to buying a few large pastures in Pingxi County, which was used for pasture sheep raising......
For a while, Yan'anbao and the manufacturing bureau were lively again, and the businessmen who were doing cloth business flocked to Yan'anbao, and all the inns in Yan'anbao were crowded at once, and those who wanted to get involved in this industry and business all flocked to the manufacturing bureau, because they heard that the spinning and weaving machines that could increase the spinning and weaving efficiency by more than ten times and dozens of times were all produced by the manufacturing bureau under Yan Liqiang, and if the manufacturing bureau could really produce such spinning machines and looms, it would be necessary to buy a few of them anyway, and those people went to the manufacturing bureau to ask, and sure enough, the manufacturing bureau could indeed manufacture those spinning machines and weaving layouts, and sold to the outside world, the price of sale is not as exaggerated as the four-wheeled carriage, but it is more expensive than ordinary spinning machines and looms, the price is fair, if you want to buy, pay a deposit first, and then queue up......
In the next few days, the cloth merchants and big families outside Pingxi County who heard the news suddenly flocked to the city, which not only made the manufacturing bureau crowded, but also made Yan Anbao lively all of a sudden......
After seven days of on-the-job training, on the day of April 19, the Yan's woolen mill in Yan'anbao officially started, and early in the morning, all the cloth merchants in Ganzhou who got the news crowded into Yan'anbao, almost squeezing the entire street of Yanjiabao......
