Hydraulic loom factory.

After remodeling and debugging the hydraulic loom, the cotton can finally be woven normally.

Excited craftsmen gather in front of this water-powered loom that is spinning cotton cloth.

The white cotton thread is spun by a hydraulic loom to become a white cotton cloth.

The craftsmen looked at the white cotton cloth and reached out curiously to touch the texture of the cotton cloth.

Then the craftsmen felt the feel of the pure cotton fabric for the first time:

"This cotton cloth is much more comfortable to the touch than linen, and it feels extremely soft to the touch!"

"In addition to being softer than linen, cotton also feels plump and thicker."

"Yes, this cotton cloth is not easy to deform, it's really good cloth!"

The craftsmen have told how the cotton feels and everyone loves the cotton.

"This cotton cloth feels better than my wife's hand!"

The ultimate affirmation of a craftsman made everyone stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

Lin Chuan also stepped forward and touched the texture of the cotton cloth.

Although the feel is not as good as the texture spun by the machines of later generations, it is much stronger than the current linen.

"You have all worked hard, this spun cotton cloth, the people in the R&D center, one horse per person!"

Lin Chuan said to the group of excited craftsmen.

"Thank you, Lord Hanzhong!"

"Thank you, Lord Hanzhong!"

Another burst of cheers and thanks came from the mouths of the craftsmen in the R&D center.

Chen Yuan also knew that this was the double affirmation of the cotton cloth spun by Lord Hou of Hanzhong and the efforts of the craftsmen.

Lin Chuan signaled to Chen Yuan, and walked out of the water-powered loom factory first.

Chen Yuan also followed out of the factory.

"Master Chen, the quality of the cotton cloth is good, tell Ben Hou tomorrow after the output statistics are good."

Lin Chuan yawned after finishing speaking.

Chen Yuan also saw Lin Chuan's exhaustion, after all, Lin Chuan had just returned to Hanzhong from Yecheng.

And Lin Chuan then came over non-stop to solve the problem of the R&D center.

It's also normal to have a bad rest.

"Please rest assured, Lord Hanzhong! Please go back to your house to rest first, and the yield report will be sent to your study tomorrow. ”

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Lin Chuan waved his hand and got into the carriage directly, preparing to go back to the house to rest.

After Lin Chuan returned to the Hou Mansion, he took a comfortable hot bath.

"This barrel is still not as comfortable as the bathtub, or the whole bathtub?"

Lin Chuan, who was taking a bath, suddenly thought of the bathtub, and then let out a comfortable sigh.

The next day, the study of the Hou Mansion.

Chen Yuan had already personally come to Lin Chuan's study with the cotton yield report.

After reading the report, Lin Chuan smiled and said:

"A water-powered loom produces fifteen pieces of cotton cloth per day, which is very good."

Chen Yuan also showed a relieved smile when he heard this.

"In the future, the water-powered loom factory will mainly produce cotton cloth."

"In this way, ninety percent of the water-powered looms in the factory weave cotton cloth, and the remaining ten percent is reserved for linen."

Lin Chuan instructed Chen Yuan.

Whether it is the children of the scholars or the common people, they will like clothes made of cotton.

"Lord Hou of Hanzhong, I will notify the hydroloom factory to make adjustments when I go back next."

"It is expected that within seven days, ninety percent of the water-powered looms in the factory can be transformed."

After Chen Yuan received the order, he mentioned the transformation progress of the hydraulic loom.

"Good!"

"Master Chen, Ben Hou is fine."

"Lord Hanzhong, I am bidding farewell."

After Chen Yuan left, Lin Chuan began to think about the promotion of cotton cloth in the study.

It is impossible for cotton cloth to be as low as the price of linen, because the cost is still higher than that of linen.

Since you can't focus on cheapness, you have to focus on the quality of cotton cloth.

Nowadays, all states of Great Wei have branches of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, and the branches of the thirteen states are equipped with production bases.

Therefore, Lin Chuan did not plan to promote cotton cloth in Hanzhong first.

Lin Chuan wants to promote cotton cloth in all states at the same time!

After making up his mind, Lin Chuan began to write letters to the heads of chapters in each state.

The letter first explained how to improve the water-powered loom, and then talked about the promotion of cotton cloth.

At present, only Hanzhong County is planting cotton on a large scale, so Lin Chuan has to add a large number of cotton seeds in addition to the cotton cloth sent with the letter.

After Lin Chuan wrote a letter to the heads of the county branches, he finally wrote a letter to Liu Ba, asking him to rush back to Hanzhong as soon as possible after finishing the ceremony of the Youzhou branch.

It is still necessary to discuss with Liu Ba and understand the actual operation of the county branches, so that Lin Chuan can decide the time for the nationwide promotion of cotton cloth.

Liu Ba was in Jixian County, Youzhou at this time.

The Youzhou branch of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, the last to hold an opening ceremony, is located here.

After the opening ceremony of the Youzhou branch, Liu Ba can return to Hanzhong for the New Year.

Liu Ba was in the exhibition hall, looking at the people and the owners of the commercial houses who were eager to buy.

"It seems that the opening ceremony of the Youzhou branch is also an expected success."

Liu Ba nodded with satisfaction, and then came to the Chamber of Commerce Hotel on the third floor to rest.

When the door to the room was closed, the noise outside was much quieter.

Liu Ba has been accustomed to resting in a noisy environment for more than half a year.

And if it's too quiet, Liu Ba won't rest well.

Early the next morning.

After a beautiful night's sleep, Liu Ba came to the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce energetically after getting up.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, how was yesterday's profit?"

The shopkeeper Zhao, the person in charge of the Youzhou branch, had just sent away a business bank owner who had ordered twenty water-powered looms at this time.

When Shopkeeper Zhao heard Liu Ba's inquiry, the smile on his face became even brighter:

"Lord Liu, please take a look!"

Liu Ba took the profit statement handed over by the shopkeeper Zhao.

"Sixty-eight thousand eight hundred taels, very good, shopkeeper Zhao!"

"The name of the Youzhou branch is out, okay!"

After reading the report, a bright smile also appeared on Liu Ba's face.

"It's all because Lord Liu came to check for the Youzhou Branch, so that there can be such a profit!"

Shopkeeper Zhao and Liu Ba started to blow each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The profit of the Youzhou branch in the next six days was also very good.

Unlike other chapters, the profits of the Youzhou chapter are rising every day.

When the profit statement on the seventh day was delivered to Liu Ba, the faces of him and Zhao's shopkeeper changed.

The profit of the Youzhou branch on the seventh day was: 101,000 taels!

"Shopkeeper Zhao, why is this?"

"Back to Lord Liu, I don't know below!"

The two frowned again at the profit statement in front of them.

It stands to reason that the profit margin of the Youzhou branch is rising, and Liu Ba and Zhao should be very happy.

It's just that the geographical location of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce is more sensitive.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

And it's still in Youzhou, which is close to Xianbei and Qianghu!

Liu Ba postponed his plan to return to Hanzhong and continued to stay in Youzhou.

Shopkeeper Zhao and Liu Ba began to pay attention to the boss of the trading house who came to purchase in the following time.

At the same time, the analysis of the number of products sold by the Youzhou branch was also started.
