But it's only ten cents.

Because the rent of forty wen was deducted.

Speaking of which, this first family is still the village chief's house.

After their family, one after another handed over the cloth on the eighth and ninth days, and then received the next horse of cotton.

It has been said that there must be more than a dozen families in a village, and there are many women and girls in them.

At first, they stayed up alone, and the second time, they let everyone in the family learn, and then they knitted for a while, and some people looked at the quality.

It can be said that the family is a weaving workshop.

In the beginning, it will take at least five days for everyone to produce a horse, and when the number of them increases, a cotton cloth can be produced in three days.

Some of the carpenters in the house also squatted and watched while the women in the house were weaving, to see if the machine might save some more fabric, or be faster.

While researching, I thought about imitating machines.

Ordinary looms are not difficult.

A month later, the day before the Chinese New Year, the village chief's daughter-in-law came to look for Bai Xia, and her face was a little not good-looking.

"Auntie mean that someone made a loom?" Bai Xia was a little surprised.

"Yes" The village chief's daughter-in-law looked a little ugly and a little embarrassed.

"They want me to ask you if you can return the rented one, and after returning it, can you still get cotton weaving cloth from you?" The rent of a machine costs 100 yuan a month, and now they are fast, and they can only weave 10 pieces of cloth a month.

However, 500 yuan, and 100 yuan must be handed over to pay rent.

Since I have researched the loom myself, I don't want to rent it anymore.

"I can let them weave a piece of cloth with a machine that they have made, and if the cloth is fine, I want to see their machine"

I don't know what is the difference between the loom made by the people in the village and the craftsmen made by Liu Yunzhai there, if it is faster and more efficient, she can also copy a batch.

This will speed up the efficiency of weaving and the speed at which she can make money.

"Of course you can"

The village chief's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that the people in the village would make Bai Xia unhappy if they built a machine according to the loom, but now seeing that she didn't care, she quickly relaxed.

The looms made by the villagers are exactly the same as those provided to them by Bai Xia.

It can be seen that it is completely imitated according to the machine given to them by Bai Xia, without a little innovation.

Bai Xia was a little disappointed when he saw it, and thought that they could make a faster machine.

But it also inspired her.

After recovering the family's loom, Bai Xia still allowed them to receive cotton to make cloth, but the other cloth hired a carpenter from the village to build a small house and build a workshop to allow them to research faster and more efficient looms.

Yunshu is responsible for weaving cloth for them and showing them the operation of the machine.

Time passed little by little, and the villagers ate a lot of food, in order to have a good year, everyone saved to eat during this time before the year.

Bai Xia didn't let people sell grain anymore.

Soon, the time came to the New Year, the village was full of joy, and they also followed the customs of the countryside in the white summer, cut window flowers, pasted Spring Festival couplets, and passed a year happily.

Over the years, the number of weavers has increased from five to ten.

By the middle of March, every household in the village was using a loom, and all the children in the village were wearing cotton clothes.

Although it is only pure cotton cloth, the kind that is not dyed, it is enough to be envied by the people in the surrounding villages.

Thanks to the support of the people in the village, the silver in Bai Xia's conversion pool came to five hundred taels.

During the Chinese New Year, the grain merchants came again, and this time there were more people buying grain, and every household was no longer satisfied with eating only two meals of gruel a day, but wanted to eat better.

In the past few months, everyone has made a lot of money weaving.

There are a few families who have not rented the machine anymore, and they no longer go to Bai Xia to get cotton, but buy cotton to weave themselves, trying to sell it to Bai Xia, wanting to sell it at a high price.

It's just that when they brought the cloth, they were rejected by Bai Xia.

Just kidding, she provided cotton, half a penny of silver cotton plus fifty wen of wages, you can get a piece of cloth worth three taels of silver, if you directly accept the cloth they weave privately, at least one or two or five horses to collect, she earns half of the money directly, where will she be willing.

She didn't accept it, and the people were also stubborn, so she took the cloth to the town, thinking that the cotton cloth they weaved could be sold for a lot of money, but when she went to the town, she found that the cloth workshop in the town offered half a penny of silver to receive a horse, which was not as good as Baixia here.

So they could only keep the cloth they bought cotton for their own use, and asked Bai Xia to take another order here and continue to earn that wage.

Although the price of the loom is not cheap, it can take a month or two to add one.

Many people have added two units to their homes, and if they can't fit them at home, at least a few more will have to be added.

Such a family can earn a few hundred wen a day.

Everyone has more money in their hands, so they have to buy food.

The grain sold this time made Bai Xia directly recover nearly four hundred taels of silver.

The silver in his hand directly broke through the 1,000 taels mark.

Looking at the series of zeros, Bai Xia was in a happy mood.

The garment-making workshop can't be built for the time being, but the cloth workshop can be built first.

Li Xiuyuan sent her a book on various weaving and dyeing cloth, and it happened that there were still many women in the village who could not weave cloth, so they happened to be recruited to the factory to be workers in the cloth workshop.

As soon as he said he would do it, he had just earned a thousand taels of silver, and before he could cover it, he used it again.

I bought a piece of land on the hill in the east of the village, about a few hundred square meters, and built a special cloth workshop.

From Bai Xia's house to the location of the cloth workshop, a bluestone road was specially built, and walking on it, even if it is raining, you don't have to worry about getting your shoes wet.

The people of Dou'er Village are too busy, they are busy with spring ploughing, they are busy building houses, and they are busy weaving to make money.

By the middle of March, everyone had added food to their homes, and except for the house that could not be built new, every family had three meals, and it was not impossible to eat dry rice for all three meals in a few days.

Construction of the cloth mill began in full swing, and it was completed in April, and a large number of workers began to be recruited.

According to the model of the modern factory, an assembly line was built first, and the process of dyeing cloth was divided into several lines.

In addition, a special weaving room has been set up.

Female workers are invited from outside to weave cloth.

It's just that this batch of cloth is different from the one they weave at home, and it has patterns.

When all workers are recruited, they must sign a confidentiality agreement, that is, they will keep their work content confidential and their working methods confidential, and any skills they learn in the workshop belong to the cloth workshop, and they must not leak it, otherwise they will have to compensate for the loss of the cloth workshop, at least 5,000 taels of silver.

Seeing the amount of compensation, many workers retreated.

But the salary of 300 wen a month still made them have to stay.

The main reason is that there is no room for more looms at home, otherwise weaving at home will definitely make more money.
