Chapter 13 New Textile Machines
When Yu Hao and Lu Xiaoxiao rushed to the cottage with a carriage pulling a cart of parts, it was already getting dark.
But Li Shihan still waited for Yu Hao to come back in the cottage as agreed.
"Little sir, this is the new type of loom you are talking about?"
Looking at the strange-shaped wood, Li Shihan frowned, obviously a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, girl, wait for me to assemble the loom first."
Yu Hao said, and together with Lu Xiaoxiao, he moved the parts off the carriage and began to assemble.
Since he planned to cooperate, in order to show his trust in Li Shihan, Yu Hao did not deliberately avoid Li Shihan when assembling.
But Li Shihan took the maid to the side very interestingly, and did not intend to watch Yu Hao's process of assembling the loom.
It is said that the interests of businessmen come first, but from this detail, it can be seen that Li Shihan is a principled businessman.
This made Yu Hao's favor for Li Shihan increase a lot, and it also accelerated the speed of assembly.
When designing the textile machine, Yu Hao deliberately adopted the mortise and tenon structure of the previous life.
Although it is not complicated, if the wrong parts are installed, the entire textile machine will not work normally, so Yu Hao assembled it very seriously.
In order to prevent someone from copying the textile machine after getting it, Yu Hao also adopted the structure of Luban lock in key parts.
Once assembled, if you want to disassemble it, you have to find a key part, and after taking it down, the other parts can be taken apart one by one.
If the key parts are forcibly disassembled if no key parts are found, the entire textile machine will be damaged.
The assembly process was very smooth, thanks to the carpenters Lu Xiaoxiao found were very good, and every part was completed in strict accordance with Yu Hao's requirements.
Half an hour later, a complete new textile machine was assembled by Yu Hao.
"Miss Li, this is the loom I invented, which can be used by one person or operated by two people at the same time, and when two people operate, they can spin and weave at the same time." Yu Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the two seats on the loom and said.
At the same time, Lu Xiaoxiao on the side took a bag of hemp for spinning from the board car and put it in the designated position of the textile machine.
"Chunlan, let's try."
Li Shihan and Chunlan hurriedly stepped forward and sat in the weaving and spinning positions respectively.
"This loom is different from ordinary, it doesn't need to be cranked by hand, but uses human feet to step on the work, Chunlan girl, try it!"
Yu Hao pointed to the pedal at Chunlan's feet.
Under Yu Hao's guidance, Chunlan gently stepped on the pedal with her foot, and the textile machine immediately worked, and after a while, the thread board on one side was full of threads spun by Chunlan.
Seeing this, Li Shihan's eyes lit up, and she followed Chunlan's example and gently stepped on the pedal.
The thread plate rotates slightly, transporting the thread to the weaving area, and a coarse cloth is slowly formed.
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes on the side suddenly widened, although she had never woven cloth, she also understood that weaving was a very slow process.
But the loom in front of him actually weaved a coarse cloth in less than a quarter of an hour.
Although the area of coarse cloth is not large, it is enough to make people shocked.
"Miss, the speed of this textile machine is too fast, much faster than the textile machine of our Chamber of Commerce!" Chunlan said incredulously.
"That's right, at least ten times faster than ordinary textile machines, and with significant savings in raw materials."
Li Shihan's chamber of commerce also had several textile workshops before, and they had a lot of dealings with textile machines, so they quickly made a judgment.
At the same time, Li Shihan's eyes also lit up completely, and his eyes were full of fanaticism!
Yu Hao didn't lie to her, there really is such a magical weaving machine!
This textile machine can not only save raw materials, its ultra-high work efficiency can also greatly reduce labor costs.
If there are enough of these new textile machines and enough workers, they can really earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.
She is confident that with this new type of weaving machine, she will quickly occupy the cloth market in Wudu City and surrounding cities.
Even let your chamber of commerce make a comeback!
Looking at Li Shihan's excited appearance, Yu Hao was also secretly relieved, seeing that his textile machine had completely conquered her.
"Miss Li, how is it, my loom is good, right?"
"It's really good, little lord, I don't know if what you said about investing in shares before counts?" Li Shihan hurriedly asked.
"Nature counts."
"Chunlan, bring a pen and paper!"
Li Shihan was overjoyed, and immediately brought pen and paper and drew up a contract.
Roughly speaking, Li Shihan transferred the ownership of the cottage to Yu Hao, and the profits earned by the textile factory were divided into 30% to Li Shihan, if Li Shihan's dividends did not reach 15,000 taels within half a year, then Li Shihan had the right to take back the cottage.
This was what was said before, Yu Hao naturally had no opinion, and quickly signed the contract.
"Little lord, happy cooperation, from now on, this cottage is yours." Li Shihan smiled slightly and carefully put away the contract.
"Thank you, Miss Li."
Yu Hao couldn't be happy in his heart, this was equivalent to taking down the cottage without spending a penny.
As for Li Shihan's half-year dividend of 15,000 taels, Yu Hao is not worried at all, he is very confident in himself.
After Li Shihan left, Yu Hao took a turn in the cottage and found a suitable place to put the textile machine away.
At this time, it was already early in the morning, and the gate of Wudu City had been closed, and it was impossible for Yu Hao to go back, so he had to spend the night in the cottage.
Fortunately, there are many rooms in the cottage, although they are not as simple as the Yueguo Mansion, but they are not simple.
"Young master, you are so amazing, you actually invented such a powerful textile machine, my husband will be very happy if he knows." In the room, Lu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Hearing Lu Xiaoxiao mention the old man, Yu Hao was melancholy, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, how much did this textile machine cost?" ”
"Back to the young master, I found a total of more than fifty carpenters, and the bargaining was worn out, but it still cost ten taels of silver, which is the rest of the money."
Lu Xiaoxiao took out nine small ingots from her arms and put them in front of Yu Hao.
"So expensive?" Yu Hao frowned slightly, but then he was relieved.
The requirements for all aspects of their parts, materials, and quality are very high, and they are in a hurry, and the price of Wudu City is high, so it is understandable that it is a little expensive.
But in this way, the money in Yu Hao's hands is a little insufficient.
After a rough calculation, the remaining money was only enough to make 300 textile machines, which was much, much worse than Yu Hao's expectations.
Yu Hao didn't want to make parts by himself, although he saved money, it took a lot of time, and he didn't know when the factory would be set up.
"If only the Seventh Uncle's artisan camp was still there."
At this moment, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly said vigilantly: "Young Master, there seems to be movement outside!" ”
Yu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he also pricked up his ears, and sure enough, there was a noisy sound in the cottage......
