Tao Kun has been smiling these days.
Tenth, his mother's health has improved; second, he passed the assessment and became a cashier; third, he can move into the factory with his mother!
Although he is now paying off his debts with work, and ten of the monthly money will be deducted every month, leaving him only the basic necessities of life, but he is still very happy.
Even though the factory is overcrowded and life is inconvenient, he still feels motivated!
And the windows of the factory building are really strange.
It is said that it is called glass, which is so transparent that you can see the scenery outside clearly, and the sunlight can shine in, and you are not afraid of wind and rain.
Ten pieces of glass panels are inlaid in the wooden frame, and the outside is blocked by thin nails. There are iron hooks after the window is opened, so there is no need to worry about the window swinging from side to side.
Everything is so novel!
He wants to stay and settle in Gyeongju in the future!
The finance team of Wangfu recruited 20 people.
Among them, Tang Wen and You Hui directly became Lou Quan's right-hand man because of their outstanding performance, responsible for the sorting and accounting of the general ledger.
The remaining 18 people were divided into three groups, responsible for the accounts of the paper mill, iron factory and wood factory respectively.
Tao Kun was assigned to a woodworking factory, which happened to be Zhang Feng's factory.
After contacting the accounts, he realized that the carpentry factory in Xincheng was different from the carpenter's shop he had been to before.
There are no masters and apprentices here, only regular workers and interns.
Of course, regular workers are also divided into ordinary workers and technical supervisors, etc. The supervisor can guide the workers, but the workers do not need to provide contribution to the supervisor.
He heard from Zhang Feng that when Zhang Feng was an apprentice in the past, he had to respect his master frequently, so that the master would teach them the craft seriously.
At present, only these three workshops are in operation in the Xincheng Industrial Zone. The management models of the paper workshop and the iron factory are similar to those of the wood factory.
And the general manager of these three factories is Ge Feng.
If workers encounter difficult problems, they can go to him to solve them.
No, Tao Kun was holding ten application forms in his hand.
Ten workers in the woodworking factory accidentally injured their hands while operating.
According to the regulations, injuries due to labor during the working period belong to the category of work-related injuries, and workers can apply for work-related injury compensation.
Tao Kun carefully checked the signatures and seals on the application form and found nothing missing, so he carefully affixed the financial seal.
The more he worked here, the more he liked it.
Here is full of human touch, which can make people feel full of touch and a sense of security that is constantly growing.
With the security system formulated by His Highness, the workers have no worries, and ten of them worked very hard.
Tao Kun was shocked by the benefits of just ten woodworking factories.
There are currently 830 employees in the wood factory, and the daily production volume is quite considerable.
Moreover, the carpentry factory has advantages that other carpentry shops do not have.
Their woodware factory will introduce new ones every month, and produce new types of utensils that are not available in the market. Although the quantity is not large, it is better than novelty and can be sold at a high price.
His Royal Highness Shizi cooperates with some caravans, and these caravans are transported to all parts of the country.
Although the world is chaotic, the chaos is only for the common people. Dozens of wealthy families are still living a life of drunkenness and do not care about such a small amount of money.
These new appliances are aimed at these big households.
In addition to new types of utensils, the woodware factory also produces utensils suitable for ordinary people's daily use.
There are strict standards in the factory, so every ten pieces of utensils are as perfect as possible.
Due to the high production efficiency and high quality of the woodware factory, the appliances produced in the factory are favored by the common people. Many caravans will come to the factory to pick up the goods, and then sell them all over the country.
Over the past few months, the income of the carpentry factory has reached a considerable figure.
Anyway, it was money that Tao Kun had never seen in more than ten years.
He was genuinely happy.
All these wealth flowed into Lou Yu's private treasury, and Lou Yu used the money to build infrastructure, support the army, buy cattle, sheep and horses, and so on.
The whole new town is full of vitality.
With such vitality, the textile factory, the last factory building in the original planning of the industrial zone, was finally built.
The outer wall is still painted with gray cement, cold and solid.
After Lou Yu got the news, he immediately called Lu You.
"Have you figured out the situation of the craftsmen?"
Lu You respectfully handed over the form booklet and replied, "Your Highness, the details of the craftsmen have been recorded, please have a look."
Lou Yu flipped through it casually, and found that Lu You's work results were not bad, at least he learned a lot from Wei Si, and his attitude was very correct.
He asked Lu You to do this not only to understand the situation of the craftsmen, but more importantly to test Lu You's working ability.
At present, although he is not as good as Wei Si, he is still qualified for the job.
He took out a wooden box casually, and put the contents in the box on the table.
It was a naive little wooden rabbit.
Lu You lowered her eyes, she didn't expect His Highness to have such a childlike innocence.
But at the next ten quarters, the wooden rabbit suddenly moved.
It wagged its short tail and walked towards the edge of the desk, facing Lu You.
Lu You stared wide-eyed, "Where did His Highness find this kind of skill?"
"How many people in this booklet do you think can do such a skill?"
Lu You shook his head and sighed: "Ordinary craftsmen probably don't know this kind of mechanism."
Lou Yu smiled, that is to say, Huo Xuan's skills are indeed excellent.
If Huo Xuan is really proficient in mechanical power, can he help him realize the construction of a large hydraulic spinning wheel?
At present, Dasheng's spinning wheels are still at the level of hand spinning wheels, and the production efficiency is low, which cannot meet Lou Yu's needs at all.
The large water-powered spinning wheel was an invention of the Song Dynasty in his world. It can spin more than [-] catties in ten days and nights, dozens of times higher than ordinary spinning wheels.
But Lou Yu is not a professional mechanical engineer. He only knows that this thing exists, but he doesn't know how to build it.
"Sigong Lu, do you think that since we can use water power to pound rice and pound oats, can we use water power weaving?"
Lu You frowned: "This... the official really doesn't know, but the official thinks that the craftsmen can try to build."
"Then put up a notice to attract talented people. If someone can build a hydraulic spinning wheel, a reward of one hundred taels will be rewarded."
The bounty is one hundred taels!
Lu You's heart skipped a beat, making him want to try it.
He accepted the order.
Given that Lou Yu has posted too many notices in the city, the people are no strangers to the new notices.
It is the bounty of one hundred taels that really makes people salivate.
People have wondered, what exactly is a hydraulic spinning car?What should be done?So what can I do?
After hearing the news, Huo Xuan immediately ran from the farm to Fucheng.
Although he had never heard of the hydraulic spinning wheel, he still understood the principle.
In this regard, he seems to be naturally transparent.
Lou Yu was not surprised to see him.
"You said you want to try it, but you can't do it because you don't have the materials?"
Huo Xuan nodded fiercely: "Your Highness, you must trust me, I think I should be able to do it!"
He's already figured out an idea in his mind.
Lou Yu smiled, "It's really not difficult to drive the spinning car with water power, but the difficulty is that the spinning car I want has dozens more spindles than the usual spinning car, and twisting and winding need to be done at the same time. Do you understand?"
Huo Xuan: "..."
What is a spindle?What is twisting and winding?
Lou Yu continued to hit him: "Do you know how many spindles there are in an ordinary spinning wheel?"
"do not know."
"Up to three."
Huo Xuan: "..."
He has no idea.
He is a boy and has basically never been exposed to such things as spinning.
Hearing about the hydraulic spinning wheel, he subconsciously thought that it would be enough to push it with water.
I didn't expect that just ten spinning cars would be so complicated!
He clenched his fists tightly and said firmly, "Your Highness, I'm going to study the spinning wheel right now! I'm sure I can make it!"
He has always been very grateful to Lou Yu, but he has no chance to repay Lou Yu.
The younger uncle can train troops for His Highness, and the younger sister can heal people's illnesses, but he alone has accomplished nothing so far.
If he can't seize this opportunity again, he will really be a waste!
Lou Yu encouraged with a smile: "I have posted a notice, and now the craftsmen in the city want a reward of [-] yuan."
Unexpectedly, Huo Xuan said: "Your Highness, I don't need a reward!"
He simply wanted to repay His Highness.
Ever since, the young boy began to study the structure of the spinning wheel day and night to understand the operating principle of the spinning wheel.
This kind of power machine that shakes the crank to drive the wheel shaft is quite simple for Huo Xuan.
However, it is not easy to build a large spinning wheel with dozens of spindles, which requires twisting and winding at the same time.
He studied hard for half a month, and finally conceived a sketch.
He presented the sketch to Lou Yu, his eyes lit up and said: "Your Highness! I have drawn the picture! But I need to try it out."
If it weren't for the lack of materials and manpower, he would have liked to make the finished product immediately and present it to His Highness.
Lou Yu pretended to regret: "But, someone has already created it."
"Huh?" Huo Xuan was dumbfounded.
So, he once again lost the opportunity to repay His Highness?
Seeing that the young boy was about to cry, Lou Yu withdrew his teasing thoughts, got up and said, "Come and see with me?"
"Ok!"
For the reward of [-] yuan, the craftsmen of Gyeongju Prefecture worked hard and built water-powered spinning wheels by the river one after another.
They have experience and manpower, and the project has been completed in half a month, waiting for Lou Yu's acceptance.
There are ten rows of entries by the river, and the quality of the products varies.
Some are no different from ordinary spinning wheels, some are only ten sizes larger than ordinary spinning wheels, and some just have a few more spindles.
Basically, they are not up to Lou Yu's standard.
The craftsmen all stood aside, waiting respectfully for Lou Yu to speak.
But Lou Yu asked the ten children beside him: "How?"
Huo Xuan made ten small faces solemnly: "None of them will work."
Hey!But ten little brats, how can they have the confidence to evaluate their spinning wheel!
Due to the presence of Lou Yu, the craftsmen did not dare to act rashly, but secretly stared at Huo Xuan a few times.
Huo Xuan didn't care.
After seeing these people's spinning wheels, he regained his confidence. He believed that the spinning wheel he designed would best meet His Highness's requirements!
Lou Yu asked the craftsmen again: "Ah Xuan said that your spinning wheel is not good, what do you want to say?"
These ten questions directly aroused the enthusiasm of all craftsmen.
The target of the crusade was Huo Xuan.
"Your Highness, what do his ten children know? Don't listen to him, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, this villain is indeed a hydraulic spinning wheel, which fully meets your requirements!"
"Your Highness, how can a child understand this? Can you see if there is anything that needs to be improved?"
Huo Xuan didn't care about these cynicism, he just looked at Lou Yu silently.
Lou Yu looked down at him and said, "Since you think their spinning wheels are not good enough, why don't you direct them and let them help you. What if you don't make it by then?"
Although the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is not satisfactory, the craftsmanship is still quite good.
Isn't Huo Xuan short of manpower?These are the elite craftsmen in the city.
"Your Highness, I will definitely create it!" Huo Xuan clenched his fists tightly, his expression extremely firm.
The rest of the craftsmen were a little upset when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to get angry with Lou Yu.
Lou Yu said indifferently: "To be honest, none of your spinning wheels can meet my requirements. But if you can actively help Ah Xuan build the spinning wheel, you will also get generous rewards."
They are all skilled workers, so they can't be treated badly.
The craftsmen didn't complain any more, anyway, it wasn't them who would be ashamed if the child couldn't make it.
If they really want to make it, they can be considered to be lucky.
It's not too bad anyway.
When Lou Yu started planning, he built the textile factory by the river to facilitate the construction of hydraulic spinning machines.
He asked Huo Xuan and the craftsmen to prepare materials and tools, and just waited for the finished product to come out.
After explaining the construction of the spinning wheel, Lou Yu spent a few days sorting out the roster submitted by Huo Yan.
Among them, he basically did not move the bow and arrow battalion and the cavalry battalion, but he eliminated a dozen of the special battalion.
Special forces need absolute loyalty, and Lou Yu faction secretly investigated every ten of them, and finally finalized the list after understanding clearly.
After getting the final list, Huo Yan returned directly to the camp without any nonsense.
On the list of promoted generals, Lou Yu did not make any changes.
Huo Yan called everyone into the barracks for a meeting according to the list.
He has deep handsome eyes, although he is only a young man, his aura makes people dare not underestimate him, and no one in the camp disapproves of him.
Li Shu asked Hanhan: "Commander Huo, what did you call the big guy to do?"
"His Highness has seen all your hard work and achievements over the past few months."
After Huo Yan finished speaking, he looked around at all the people present, seeing that their eyes were bright and their expressions were excited, he continued:
"Nowadays there is a lack of useful generals in the camp. You are all selected by His Highness. You must remember His Highness's support and support."
Everyone expressed gratitude and admiration.
His Highness has been paying attention to them!His Highness has seen their performance very clearly!Their hard work and loyalty paid off!
After Huo Yan saw this, he announced everyone's new position according to the list.
Now Lou Yu has more than [-] soldiers.
Huo Yan is the commander and Li Shu is the deputy commander.
Originally, there was a hierarchy for the [-] government soldiers, but with the continuous expansion of the army, the old hierarchy could no longer adapt to the newly added troops.
And before that, in order to train the soldiers in the battalion, the instructors in the battalion trained in groups.
This kind of group training is no longer suitable for the development of the army.
After Lou Yu entered Beijing, he had no time to take care of these things. When he returned to Gyeongju, he worked overtime to deal with a lot of chores that piled up. He didn't have any free time at ten o'clock.
Until now, the army rectification plan has not been officially implemented.
After discussing with Huo Yan, he appointed Zhou Man, Jiang Yong, He Dazhou and the other six outstanding soldiers as commanders-in-chief, each leading more than a thousand men.
The commander of a thousand has a commander of a centurion, and the candidate for a centurion is selected and appointed by the commander himself.
The positions under the centurion were selected and appointed by the centurion, and the system continued layer by layer.
The supreme leadership of the army belongs to Lou Yu.
Although Huo Yan and Li Shu are the leaders, they must be responsible to Lou Yu, and no one else can command them without authorization except Lou Yu.
Not even King Qing and Princess Qing.
After the news spread, the barracks became lively and noisy.
There is no need to think about the commander of a thousand, but the commander of a centurion can compete ten times!
There are ten centurion commanders under ten thousand commanders, and everyone wants to fight for ten battles.
Everyone is gearing up to strive for the top.
The army speaks with strength, and Lou Yu ordered Huo Yan and Li Shu to hold ten martial arts tests.
The military test is not only a test of force, but also a test of everyone's leadership and command skills.
Commanding ability alone can kill a lot of people, after all, not everyone can play this kind of thing.
What is astonishing is that Yang Ji'an actually defeated many soldiers with the identity of ten juveniles, and became the tenth of the centurions under He Dazhou's men.
Not only is he extraordinary in martial arts, but he is also very good at arranging troops. If he is not young enough and worried that he will not be able to convince the crowd, maybe Lou Yu will make an exception and promote him to be a commander.
But Lou Yu still wanted to hone him.
Although He Dazhou was once defeated by Yang Ji'an in a one-on-one match, he cherishes his talents very much, and has no grudges about the past, and values Yang Ji'an very much.
Given time, this kid will become a master.
After rectifying the army, Huo Yan started to set up ten things for the three battalions.
The establishment of the bow and arrow battalion and the cavalry battalion are on the bright side. Both of them are openly selected, and whoever has the best skills will be able to enter the battalion.
As for the special battalion, they had already been selected secretly, except for Lou Yu, Huo Yan and a dozen senior generals, no one else knew about it.
When Sun Xin was called by He Dazhou, he was at a loss.
He used to be a garrison of the imperial court and worked under He Dazhou's command.
Later, the soldiers of the palace and the garrison merged, and he was still assigned to guard the city gate.
There is nothing wrong with guarding the city gate, Sun Xin is quite satisfied.
However, when the former officer said that sentence in an extremely solemn tone, a wave of spirit suddenly arose in his chest, and this spirit kept reverberating in his internal organs, making his whole body tremble slightly.
He Dazhou said: "His Royal Highness and Commander Huo value you, and want to entrust you with ten extremely important tasks, but this task will be very hard and perhaps dangerous. Would you like to go?"
He didn't understand the mission and danger, he only knew that His Highness and Commander Huo valued him!
Sun Xin was very excited, but still rational.
He asked: "Chief Commander, I am only ten gatekeepers, why do His Highness and the Commander value me?"
He Dazhou patted him on the shoulder: "Maybe it's because of your cleverness."
He Dazhou is also very pleased that his former subordinates can be reused.
Sun Xin chuckled, he probably knew why.
It must be the day His Highness returns to the city, His Highness and the commander will remember his loyalty in their hearts!
Although he didn't think of asking for anything in return, but a noble person like His Highness can remember him as a small person, Sun Xin only felt that everything he did was worth it!
He suddenly raised his head and said firmly: "I am willing!"
No matter what the task is, how dangerous it is, he is willing to do it.
After entering the camp, he found that there were about 300 of his colleagues, and everyone was full of loyalty and energy.
The training of special forces is much harder than that of ordinary soldiers. They not only need to exercise their bodies, but also need to learn various skills.
Sometimes Sun Xin was so tired that he didn't know what he was doing.
What mission does His Highness want to entrust to them?
After the winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the east courtyard lit up charcoal.
Lou Yu's mouth was parched from the roast, and even drinking a few cups of herbal tea couldn't dispel his anger.
It happened that Ah Yan came to report that the large hydraulic spinning wheel had been built!
Lou Yu got up quickly and told him to prepare the horse.
Feng Erbi tied the cloak for him, and followed him to the riverside textile factory.
In order to build a large water-powered spinning wheel, when the textile factory was first built, Lou Yu asked the craftsmen to reserve suitable paths and spaces, so that the wheels and axles of the spinning wheel could be smoothly connected to the water, and the factory building could adapt to the size of the large spinning wheel.
Under Huo Xuan's command, ten skilled craftsmen suffocated ten times, and finally built a large spinning wheel filled with thirty spindles!
Seeing this spinning wheel with his own eyes, Lou Yu couldn't help being deeply shocked by the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.
It has to be said that the wisdom of ancient craftsmen should not be underestimated.
It is not a simple matter to restore the drawing to the real thing.
He asked Huo Xuan: "Have you tried it?"
Huo Xuan shook his head: "Not yet, just wait for His Highness to order."
Lou Yu temporarily recruited ten weaver girls who knew how to spin yarn, and asked them to spin yarn with a big spinning wheel.
Have the Weaver Girls ever seen a spinning wheel nearly half a story high?When I first saw it, I couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
Facing such a behemoth, they couldn't show any skill at all.
With Huo Xuan's patient explanation, they finally got started.
Driven by water power, the efficiency of the big spinning wheel was astonishingly high, but in a short while, they were able to spin the yarn that they usually could only spin in half a day!
If they could use such a spinning wheel, wouldn't they be able to weave more cloth? !
The more cloth they weave, the more money they can make!
Witnessing the efficacy with their own eyes, everyone was amazed.
Even the craftsmen who had been competing with each other lowered their heads in shame.
Compared with this spinning wheel, the ones they made before are simply too weak, too weak!
Huo Xuan was full of pride, looked up at Lou Yu, his eyes were full of "praise".
Lou Yu naturally wouldn't be stingy, and said with a smile, "Ah Xuan is credited with designing the spinning wheel, and the hundred gold is yours."
"Thank you, Your Highness! It is my honor to share your worries for Your Highness!"
Huo Xuan's big eyes were amazingly bright, as if he had found his direction in life.
Lou Yu then said to the other craftsmen: "All the masters have contributed to the construction of the spinning wheel, and each will receive ten taels of silver as a reward."
After all, it has delayed them for so long, ten taels of wages is not too much.
All the craftsmen were full of surprises, His Highness is really lenient!
Lou Yu continued: "The textile factory needs to rebuild the big spinning wheel. If you are willing, I will not reduce your salary."
"Return to Your Highness, the villain is willing!"
"The villain is also willing!"
Everyone agreed one after another, and no one was willing to give up the money they got.
With the big spinning wheel, the textile mill can start working.
Of course, before starting work, female workers had to be recruited.
Tao Kun's mother recovered from her illness, Shi heard that the textile factory wanted to recruit female workers, so she immediately discussed with her son.
"I heard that female workers over the age of 16 and under the age of 45 are recruited. My mother is 33 years old and her spinning skills are not bad. My mother wants to try it."
Tao Kun worried: "But mother, your body has just recovered, what if you are exhausted again?"
"Is this textile factory owned by His Royal Highness?" Mother Tao asked.
"Yes."
Mother Tao asked again: "When did His Royal Highness treat the workers badly?"
Tao Kun nodded, yes.
A few days ago, Sister Tang and Sister You were careful and cautious in calculating the accounts. They found a loophole and were rewarded with five catties of charcoal. Everyone was very envious.
As long as the work is done well, the palace will not treat them badly.
Moreover, there are fixed start and end times in the factory, so his mother shouldn't be too tired.
"Okay, then you go and try."
Mother Tao went away excitedly.
She thought that many people would sign up, but unexpectedly, very few people came to sign up.
Why is that?
Caixia and Fengchun are responsible for recruiting workers in the textile factory.
After Mother Tao signed up quickly, she couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you see anyone else?"
Caixia sighed softly: "All the weaving girls with good craftsmanship in the city have signed a contract with the master's family."
Those who have signed the contract can leave the master's house and regain their freedom only after the contract ends.
If the workmanship is not good, their textile factories will not accept it.
Mother Tao was stunned, "Is the textile factory still open?"
"Of course!"
Cai Xia said firmly.
Ten days passed, except for Mother Tao, only a few other refugee women signed up.
Caixia and Fengchun were not discouraged either, they came to the east courtyard to see Lou Yu.
"Your Highness, we can't recruit weaver girls in the city right now, and we can't just wait in the textile factory. Do you think the girls in Yangwu Mountain can do it? There are many girls in there who can spin and weave cloth. The slaves have tried their craft, and they are no worse than the weaver girls in the city. .”
Caixia asked boldly.
"Since they can spin and weave, why didn't they sign a contract with the cloth shop?" Lou Yu asked.
Caixia said angrily: "Those cloth shop owners are shallow-sighted, they know that girls have been kidnapped by mountain bandits before, so they are afraid of bad luck."
Lou Yu: "..."
All right, since those cloth houses don't want it, he wants it!
"Are they willing?"
Knowing that Lou Yu agreed, Caixia happily said, "They must be willing!"
How much money can I get if I can only do ten washing and mending jobs every day?
Caixia is also a woman, and she wants to help them as much as possible.
Ever since Tang Wen and You Hui achieved success, the other girls were extremely envious and always wanted to find a chance to make their mark.
The girls who can weave were overjoyed when they heard the news from Caixia and Fengchun.
"Master Caixia, what you said is true?! Can I also go to the textile factory?"
Cai Xia smiled and nodded: "As long as you don't be lazy or play tricks, and work hard, His Highness will definitely not treat you badly!"
"I want to sign up!"
"I want me too!"
Everyone rushed forward.
"All line up, ten come one by one, and report your name, age, and body size."
Someone asked: "Why write the size?"
For the girl's family, this is a private matter, how embarrassing.
Fengchun explained gently: "Don't be afraid, write down the size, it's just for the convenience of making work clothes for you."
"What are work clothes?"
"It means that everyone wears ten different clothes to work."
"Why do you wear the same clothes?"
Feng Chun couldn't explain this question clearly, anyway, His Highness explained it this way.
It is said that it can improve morale and cultivate the self-confidence of female workers.
Lou Yu's idea is: when ten groups of people wear the same clothes, the individuals among them will involuntarily have a sense of belonging and collective honor.
Dasheng's girls are born with a lower status than men, plus these girls have suffered a lot and have been discriminated against by the people around them, so they will definitely have low self-esteem and sensitivity.
What Lou Yu has to do is to let them form ten groups, use the power of the group to resist the injustice of the outside world, and show their demeanor.
People can only be valued by others if they value themselves.
Only when these girls regain their self-confidence can they shine their own light and not let others underestimate them.
It's just that Caixia and Fengchun don't understand these principles, and neither do the girls.
There were 45 people who signed up this time, plus those who signed up from Xincheng, a total of 55 people.
For a newly opened textile factory, this number is enough.
Ten days before starting work, all female workers received two sets of overalls.
Both sets are light blue.
The work clothes are not well-made, and the texture is not delicate.
But one morning, when ten groups of women in blue overalls appeared on the streets of the city, everyone couldn't help but stop and watch.
Caixia and Fengchun were appointed stewards of the textile factory, and they also wore the same style of work clothes, except that they were both dark blue.
Some children couldn't help asking: "Mother, who are they and why are they all dressed the same?"
The girls were shy and sensitive, and being watched by so many people, they couldn't help but look down.
Caixia replied loudly: "We are female workers in Xincheng Textile Factory! We work for His Highness!"
wow——
The crowd roared.
Is this a female worker in a textile factory?All ten are well dressed!
Someone boldly asked, "How much does it cost to work in a textile factory?"
Caixia said: "Internship for three months first, three hundred wen per month; after three months, qualified workers can become regular workers, six hundred wen per month!"
The people in Gyeongju now know the difference between interns and regular workers, and they can't help but become more noisy when they hear this.
"Six hundred for ten months! That's so high!"
"My God, my mother-in-law works for the cloth village, and it only costs one hundred and fifty cash in ten months!"
"I knew I would sign up too!"
"Now even the little lady can earn so much?"
"The world is going downhill! How can a woman show her face!"
More people marveled under the impact of money, only a few sour reprimanded a few words.
Caixia and other human rights pretended not to hear.
Seeing the envious eyes of the people around them, the girls gradually gained confidence.
They raised their heads and straightened their backs.
When they arrived in Xincheng, the neatly dressed female workers caused heated discussions again.
They have become ten beautiful landscapes in the industrial zone.
Every time they go to work or leave work, they walk arm in arm with smiles on their faces, and there are always men who look at them secretly.
The old-fashioned cloth shop owner in the city sneered secretly.
Recruiting those female workers with a bad reputation and paying such a high monthly salary, His Royal Highness is really not afraid of losing money?
I'm afraid the cloth spun in ten months can't be sold for that much money, right?
They have naturally heard about the deeds of the hydraulic spinning wheel, but they will not believe it until they see it with their own eyes.
Ten months later, the profit of the cloth shop in the city has not changed much, and the owners of the cloth shop are relieved.
They were really worrying for nothing.
Just to put it bluntly, how could a textile factory compare to their established cloth shop?
But in the second month, the number of people who came to buy cloth gradually decreased. When they inquired, they realized that the common people had gone to Xincheng to buy cloth!
It is said that the cloth from Xincheng Textile Factory is not only high in quality, but also cheap in price. Even caravans from other places order goods to sell in other places.
After the paper mill and wood factory, the textile factory became Lou Yuxin's money-making machine.
Zhinu, who had a contract in the city, almost vomited blood.
Women workers in textile factories easily earn hundreds of Wen a month, but they only get 150 Wen a month after exhausting themselves, and they are also picked on by cloth dealers. This ten comparison is really unacceptable.
In ten o'clock, going to work in a textile factory has become the ideal of many young ladies.
They also want to put on that work uniform, they also want to get a monthly salary of several hundred Wen, and they also want to receive the envious eyes of others.
The ethos of Gyeongju City has undergone obvious changes.
There are fewer and fewer words about female workers in textile factories being immoral, and many families are even proud that their daughters or mother-in-law can work in textile factories.
The girls in Yangwushan gradually regained their value and became optimistic and open-minded.
They even have quite a few suitors.
It's just that they have been hurt by men, and they don't plan to deal with men in a short time.
Gyeongju City is changing with each passing day, but the people outside Gyeongju City are living in dire straits.
More and more refugees are flocking to Gyeongju City. For Lou Yu, these are a steady stream of labor.
He must firmly grasp these ten waves of demographic dividends.
Just when Lou Yu was planning to stay in the mansion for the winter, the mansion office suddenly received a distress letter from Yizhou.
The letter immediately arrived in Lou Yu's hands.
This is a letter written by the prefect of Yizhou himself, roughly meaning:
Brother Guo, there are ten gangs of bandits in Yizhou, and they are about to attack and occupy the capital city!Not long ago, the Holy Majesty ordered that after the vassal king's military power was taken over, if there were bandits nearby, the generals who took back the troops could come to support them nearby.You see, we are neighbors, why not let General Han Yun lead his troops to help us!
Lou Yu almost laughed and summoned Feng Sanmo.
"Is there any change in Yizhou?"
Feng Sanmo has a huge information network, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "The Sanjinpo bandits have become more and more powerful after selling ore for profit. Recently, they tried to break through the government office and occupy the city."
All the money Sanjinpo earned was Lou Yu's, but they didn't know it.
Zheng Yishi always thought that he was dealing with Taoist temples.
When Lou Yu made a deal with Zheng Yi at the beginning, he also had the intention of raising Gu.
After Sanjinpo has grown in power, he must want to break through the Yizhou government.
It is impossible for the prefect of Yizhou to sit still and die, right?
But in the vicinity of Yizhou, apart from the government soldiers and garrisons in Gyeongju, only the frontier troops in Jizhou remained.
Can the frontier army please move?Of course not!
Lou Yu was waiting for this opportunity, and won the pyrite in ten moves!
He said: "Reply ten letters to him in Guo Lian's tone, and say that rescue is possible, but there are conditions."
Feng Sanmo asked: "How to imitate Guo Lian's handwriting?"
This is a problem.
Although the magistrate of Yizhou and Guo Lian had no intersection before, he could know Guo Lian's handwriting through other channels. If he found that the handwriting was different, it might be a bad thing.
He asked: "Is there anyone in Anbu who is good at imitating other people's handwriting?"
Feng Sanmo shook his head.
Most of the Anbu members he is currently developing are some inconspicuous little people.
Those who can imitate other people's handwriting must be proficient in the Four Treasures of the Study. Not to mention the rich and noble family background, there is always some ability, and they will not easily become members of the Anbu.
Lou Yu also knows this.
He had no choice but to summon ten officials from the government office and asked them ten times, but none of them could imitate Guo Lian's words.
When Huo Yanlai presented the training progress of the three major battalions, he saw Lou Yu frowning and lying on the table.
"what happened?"
Lou Yu opened his eyelids to look at him ten times, and showed him the letter from the prefect of Yizhou.
As expected of Huo Yan, Huo Yan knew his intention after reading the letter.
"You want to make a deal with the prefect of Yizhou. As long as we take down Sanjinpo and capture a group of bandits, then Sanjinpo and the Jinque Ridge they occupy will be in charge of 'Han Yun', right?"
Lou Yu raised his eyebrows, "The one who knows me is Huo Erlang."
Huo Yanjun smiled, and asked: "Since you have a countermeasure, why are you bothered?"
"There are countermeasures, but there is no one to write the letter."
Huo Yan didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Do you have Guo Lian's characters?"
"Yes, I have."
Lou Yu responded casually, and was stunned for ten moments before realizing it.
He stared at Huo Yan with burning eyes, suppressed his excitement and said, "Can you imitate handwriting?"
Huo Yan didn't like to show off at first, but seeing Lou Yu looking at him like this, he couldn't help saying: "The inscription on your fan before is the pen of everyone in the previous dynasty."
Sure enough, the admiration in His Royal Highness' eyes was even greater.
Huo Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited, so he talked more: "It's just some small tricks, it's nothing."
"Don't underestimate yourself!"
Lou Yu grabbed his hand and praised: "You have helped me ten times with your little skill!"
Shizi's hands were warm and delicate, only a few fingertips were calloused from practice with arrows.
Huo Yan looked down quietly, with a smile on his lips.
"Your hands can shoot arrows, dance knives, paint, and carve. I didn't expect to imitate them. Why are you so good?!"
Lou Yu's admiration and admiration were completely sincere, without any falsehood.
"Your hands can cultivate land, make salt, smelt iron, and build cities."
Huo Yan stared at him with an extremely serious expression.
"These things you do are all feats that benefit the people and benefit the country and the people. Compared with you, I am really nothing."
Lou Yu was praised very badly
Tenth, his mother's health has improved; second, he passed the assessment and became a cashier; third, he can move into the factory with his mother!
Although he is now paying off his debts with work, and ten of the monthly money will be deducted every month, leaving him only the basic necessities of life, but he is still very happy.
Even though the factory is overcrowded and life is inconvenient, he still feels motivated!
And the windows of the factory building are really strange.
It is said that it is called glass, which is so transparent that you can see the scenery outside clearly, and the sunlight can shine in, and you are not afraid of wind and rain.
Ten pieces of glass panels are inlaid in the wooden frame, and the outside is blocked by thin nails. There are iron hooks after the window is opened, so there is no need to worry about the window swinging from side to side.
Everything is so novel!
He wants to stay and settle in Gyeongju in the future!
The finance team of Wangfu recruited 20 people.
Among them, Tang Wen and You Hui directly became Lou Quan's right-hand man because of their outstanding performance, responsible for the sorting and accounting of the general ledger.
The remaining 18 people were divided into three groups, responsible for the accounts of the paper mill, iron factory and wood factory respectively.
Tao Kun was assigned to a woodworking factory, which happened to be Zhang Feng's factory.
After contacting the accounts, he realized that the carpentry factory in Xincheng was different from the carpenter's shop he had been to before.
There are no masters and apprentices here, only regular workers and interns.
Of course, regular workers are also divided into ordinary workers and technical supervisors, etc. The supervisor can guide the workers, but the workers do not need to provide contribution to the supervisor.
He heard from Zhang Feng that when Zhang Feng was an apprentice in the past, he had to respect his master frequently, so that the master would teach them the craft seriously.
At present, only these three workshops are in operation in the Xincheng Industrial Zone. The management models of the paper workshop and the iron factory are similar to those of the wood factory.
And the general manager of these three factories is Ge Feng.
If workers encounter difficult problems, they can go to him to solve them.
No, Tao Kun was holding ten application forms in his hand.
Ten workers in the woodworking factory accidentally injured their hands while operating.
According to the regulations, injuries due to labor during the working period belong to the category of work-related injuries, and workers can apply for work-related injury compensation.
Tao Kun carefully checked the signatures and seals on the application form and found nothing missing, so he carefully affixed the financial seal.
The more he worked here, the more he liked it.
Here is full of human touch, which can make people feel full of touch and a sense of security that is constantly growing.
With the security system formulated by His Highness, the workers have no worries, and ten of them worked very hard.
Tao Kun was shocked by the benefits of just ten woodworking factories.
There are currently 830 employees in the wood factory, and the daily production volume is quite considerable.
Moreover, the carpentry factory has advantages that other carpentry shops do not have.
Their woodware factory will introduce new ones every month, and produce new types of utensils that are not available in the market. Although the quantity is not large, it is better than novelty and can be sold at a high price.
His Royal Highness Shizi cooperates with some caravans, and these caravans are transported to all parts of the country.
Although the world is chaotic, the chaos is only for the common people. Dozens of wealthy families are still living a life of drunkenness and do not care about such a small amount of money.
These new appliances are aimed at these big households.
In addition to new types of utensils, the woodware factory also produces utensils suitable for ordinary people's daily use.
There are strict standards in the factory, so every ten pieces of utensils are as perfect as possible.
Due to the high production efficiency and high quality of the woodware factory, the appliances produced in the factory are favored by the common people. Many caravans will come to the factory to pick up the goods, and then sell them all over the country.
Over the past few months, the income of the carpentry factory has reached a considerable figure.
Anyway, it was money that Tao Kun had never seen in more than ten years.
He was genuinely happy.
All these wealth flowed into Lou Yu's private treasury, and Lou Yu used the money to build infrastructure, support the army, buy cattle, sheep and horses, and so on.
The whole new town is full of vitality.
With such vitality, the textile factory, the last factory building in the original planning of the industrial zone, was finally built.
The outer wall is still painted with gray cement, cold and solid.
After Lou Yu got the news, he immediately called Lu You.
"Have you figured out the situation of the craftsmen?"
Lu You respectfully handed over the form booklet and replied, "Your Highness, the details of the craftsmen have been recorded, please have a look."
Lou Yu flipped through it casually, and found that Lu You's work results were not bad, at least he learned a lot from Wei Si, and his attitude was very correct.
He asked Lu You to do this not only to understand the situation of the craftsmen, but more importantly to test Lu You's working ability.
At present, although he is not as good as Wei Si, he is still qualified for the job.
He took out a wooden box casually, and put the contents in the box on the table.
It was a naive little wooden rabbit.
Lu You lowered her eyes, she didn't expect His Highness to have such a childlike innocence.
But at the next ten quarters, the wooden rabbit suddenly moved.
It wagged its short tail and walked towards the edge of the desk, facing Lu You.
Lu You stared wide-eyed, "Where did His Highness find this kind of skill?"
"How many people in this booklet do you think can do such a skill?"
Lu You shook his head and sighed: "Ordinary craftsmen probably don't know this kind of mechanism."
Lou Yu smiled, that is to say, Huo Xuan's skills are indeed excellent.
If Huo Xuan is really proficient in mechanical power, can he help him realize the construction of a large hydraulic spinning wheel?
At present, Dasheng's spinning wheels are still at the level of hand spinning wheels, and the production efficiency is low, which cannot meet Lou Yu's needs at all.
The large water-powered spinning wheel was an invention of the Song Dynasty in his world. It can spin more than [-] catties in ten days and nights, dozens of times higher than ordinary spinning wheels.
But Lou Yu is not a professional mechanical engineer. He only knows that this thing exists, but he doesn't know how to build it.
"Sigong Lu, do you think that since we can use water power to pound rice and pound oats, can we use water power weaving?"
Lu You frowned: "This... the official really doesn't know, but the official thinks that the craftsmen can try to build."
"Then put up a notice to attract talented people. If someone can build a hydraulic spinning wheel, a reward of one hundred taels will be rewarded."
The bounty is one hundred taels!
Lu You's heart skipped a beat, making him want to try it.
He accepted the order.
Given that Lou Yu has posted too many notices in the city, the people are no strangers to the new notices.
It is the bounty of one hundred taels that really makes people salivate.
People have wondered, what exactly is a hydraulic spinning car?What should be done?So what can I do?
After hearing the news, Huo Xuan immediately ran from the farm to Fucheng.
Although he had never heard of the hydraulic spinning wheel, he still understood the principle.
In this regard, he seems to be naturally transparent.
Lou Yu was not surprised to see him.
"You said you want to try it, but you can't do it because you don't have the materials?"
Huo Xuan nodded fiercely: "Your Highness, you must trust me, I think I should be able to do it!"
He's already figured out an idea in his mind.
Lou Yu smiled, "It's really not difficult to drive the spinning car with water power, but the difficulty is that the spinning car I want has dozens more spindles than the usual spinning car, and twisting and winding need to be done at the same time. Do you understand?"
Huo Xuan: "..."
What is a spindle?What is twisting and winding?
Lou Yu continued to hit him: "Do you know how many spindles there are in an ordinary spinning wheel?"
"do not know."
"Up to three."
Huo Xuan: "..."
He has no idea.
He is a boy and has basically never been exposed to such things as spinning.
Hearing about the hydraulic spinning wheel, he subconsciously thought that it would be enough to push it with water.
I didn't expect that just ten spinning cars would be so complicated!
He clenched his fists tightly and said firmly, "Your Highness, I'm going to study the spinning wheel right now! I'm sure I can make it!"
He has always been very grateful to Lou Yu, but he has no chance to repay Lou Yu.
The younger uncle can train troops for His Highness, and the younger sister can heal people's illnesses, but he alone has accomplished nothing so far.
If he can't seize this opportunity again, he will really be a waste!
Lou Yu encouraged with a smile: "I have posted a notice, and now the craftsmen in the city want a reward of [-] yuan."
Unexpectedly, Huo Xuan said: "Your Highness, I don't need a reward!"
He simply wanted to repay His Highness.
Ever since, the young boy began to study the structure of the spinning wheel day and night to understand the operating principle of the spinning wheel.
This kind of power machine that shakes the crank to drive the wheel shaft is quite simple for Huo Xuan.
However, it is not easy to build a large spinning wheel with dozens of spindles, which requires twisting and winding at the same time.
He studied hard for half a month, and finally conceived a sketch.
He presented the sketch to Lou Yu, his eyes lit up and said: "Your Highness! I have drawn the picture! But I need to try it out."
If it weren't for the lack of materials and manpower, he would have liked to make the finished product immediately and present it to His Highness.
Lou Yu pretended to regret: "But, someone has already created it."
"Huh?" Huo Xuan was dumbfounded.
So, he once again lost the opportunity to repay His Highness?
Seeing that the young boy was about to cry, Lou Yu withdrew his teasing thoughts, got up and said, "Come and see with me?"
"Ok!"
For the reward of [-] yuan, the craftsmen of Gyeongju Prefecture worked hard and built water-powered spinning wheels by the river one after another.
They have experience and manpower, and the project has been completed in half a month, waiting for Lou Yu's acceptance.
There are ten rows of entries by the river, and the quality of the products varies.
Some are no different from ordinary spinning wheels, some are only ten sizes larger than ordinary spinning wheels, and some just have a few more spindles.
Basically, they are not up to Lou Yu's standard.
The craftsmen all stood aside, waiting respectfully for Lou Yu to speak.
But Lou Yu asked the ten children beside him: "How?"
Huo Xuan made ten small faces solemnly: "None of them will work."
Hey!But ten little brats, how can they have the confidence to evaluate their spinning wheel!
Due to the presence of Lou Yu, the craftsmen did not dare to act rashly, but secretly stared at Huo Xuan a few times.
Huo Xuan didn't care.
After seeing these people's spinning wheels, he regained his confidence. He believed that the spinning wheel he designed would best meet His Highness's requirements!
Lou Yu asked the craftsmen again: "Ah Xuan said that your spinning wheel is not good, what do you want to say?"
These ten questions directly aroused the enthusiasm of all craftsmen.
The target of the crusade was Huo Xuan.
"Your Highness, what do his ten children know? Don't listen to him, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, this villain is indeed a hydraulic spinning wheel, which fully meets your requirements!"
"Your Highness, how can a child understand this? Can you see if there is anything that needs to be improved?"
Huo Xuan didn't care about these cynicism, he just looked at Lou Yu silently.
Lou Yu looked down at him and said, "Since you think their spinning wheels are not good enough, why don't you direct them and let them help you. What if you don't make it by then?"
Although the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is not satisfactory, the craftsmanship is still quite good.
Isn't Huo Xuan short of manpower?These are the elite craftsmen in the city.
"Your Highness, I will definitely create it!" Huo Xuan clenched his fists tightly, his expression extremely firm.
The rest of the craftsmen were a little upset when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to get angry with Lou Yu.
Lou Yu said indifferently: "To be honest, none of your spinning wheels can meet my requirements. But if you can actively help Ah Xuan build the spinning wheel, you will also get generous rewards."
They are all skilled workers, so they can't be treated badly.
The craftsmen didn't complain any more, anyway, it wasn't them who would be ashamed if the child couldn't make it.
If they really want to make it, they can be considered to be lucky.
It's not too bad anyway.
When Lou Yu started planning, he built the textile factory by the river to facilitate the construction of hydraulic spinning machines.
He asked Huo Xuan and the craftsmen to prepare materials and tools, and just waited for the finished product to come out.
After explaining the construction of the spinning wheel, Lou Yu spent a few days sorting out the roster submitted by Huo Yan.
Among them, he basically did not move the bow and arrow battalion and the cavalry battalion, but he eliminated a dozen of the special battalion.
Special forces need absolute loyalty, and Lou Yu faction secretly investigated every ten of them, and finally finalized the list after understanding clearly.
After getting the final list, Huo Yan returned directly to the camp without any nonsense.
On the list of promoted generals, Lou Yu did not make any changes.
Huo Yan called everyone into the barracks for a meeting according to the list.
He has deep handsome eyes, although he is only a young man, his aura makes people dare not underestimate him, and no one in the camp disapproves of him.
Li Shu asked Hanhan: "Commander Huo, what did you call the big guy to do?"
"His Highness has seen all your hard work and achievements over the past few months."
After Huo Yan finished speaking, he looked around at all the people present, seeing that their eyes were bright and their expressions were excited, he continued:
"Nowadays there is a lack of useful generals in the camp. You are all selected by His Highness. You must remember His Highness's support and support."
Everyone expressed gratitude and admiration.
His Highness has been paying attention to them!His Highness has seen their performance very clearly!Their hard work and loyalty paid off!
After Huo Yan saw this, he announced everyone's new position according to the list.
Now Lou Yu has more than [-] soldiers.
Huo Yan is the commander and Li Shu is the deputy commander.
Originally, there was a hierarchy for the [-] government soldiers, but with the continuous expansion of the army, the old hierarchy could no longer adapt to the newly added troops.
And before that, in order to train the soldiers in the battalion, the instructors in the battalion trained in groups.
This kind of group training is no longer suitable for the development of the army.
After Lou Yu entered Beijing, he had no time to take care of these things. When he returned to Gyeongju, he worked overtime to deal with a lot of chores that piled up. He didn't have any free time at ten o'clock.
Until now, the army rectification plan has not been officially implemented.
After discussing with Huo Yan, he appointed Zhou Man, Jiang Yong, He Dazhou and the other six outstanding soldiers as commanders-in-chief, each leading more than a thousand men.
The commander of a thousand has a commander of a centurion, and the candidate for a centurion is selected and appointed by the commander himself.
The positions under the centurion were selected and appointed by the centurion, and the system continued layer by layer.
The supreme leadership of the army belongs to Lou Yu.
Although Huo Yan and Li Shu are the leaders, they must be responsible to Lou Yu, and no one else can command them without authorization except Lou Yu.
Not even King Qing and Princess Qing.
After the news spread, the barracks became lively and noisy.
There is no need to think about the commander of a thousand, but the commander of a centurion can compete ten times!
There are ten centurion commanders under ten thousand commanders, and everyone wants to fight for ten battles.
Everyone is gearing up to strive for the top.
The army speaks with strength, and Lou Yu ordered Huo Yan and Li Shu to hold ten martial arts tests.
The military test is not only a test of force, but also a test of everyone's leadership and command skills.
Commanding ability alone can kill a lot of people, after all, not everyone can play this kind of thing.
What is astonishing is that Yang Ji'an actually defeated many soldiers with the identity of ten juveniles, and became the tenth of the centurions under He Dazhou's men.
Not only is he extraordinary in martial arts, but he is also very good at arranging troops. If he is not young enough and worried that he will not be able to convince the crowd, maybe Lou Yu will make an exception and promote him to be a commander.
But Lou Yu still wanted to hone him.
Although He Dazhou was once defeated by Yang Ji'an in a one-on-one match, he cherishes his talents very much, and has no grudges about the past, and values Yang Ji'an very much.
Given time, this kid will become a master.
After rectifying the army, Huo Yan started to set up ten things for the three battalions.
The establishment of the bow and arrow battalion and the cavalry battalion are on the bright side. Both of them are openly selected, and whoever has the best skills will be able to enter the battalion.
As for the special battalion, they had already been selected secretly, except for Lou Yu, Huo Yan and a dozen senior generals, no one else knew about it.
When Sun Xin was called by He Dazhou, he was at a loss.
He used to be a garrison of the imperial court and worked under He Dazhou's command.
Later, the soldiers of the palace and the garrison merged, and he was still assigned to guard the city gate.
There is nothing wrong with guarding the city gate, Sun Xin is quite satisfied.
However, when the former officer said that sentence in an extremely solemn tone, a wave of spirit suddenly arose in his chest, and this spirit kept reverberating in his internal organs, making his whole body tremble slightly.
He Dazhou said: "His Royal Highness and Commander Huo value you, and want to entrust you with ten extremely important tasks, but this task will be very hard and perhaps dangerous. Would you like to go?"
He didn't understand the mission and danger, he only knew that His Highness and Commander Huo valued him!
Sun Xin was very excited, but still rational.
He asked: "Chief Commander, I am only ten gatekeepers, why do His Highness and the Commander value me?"
He Dazhou patted him on the shoulder: "Maybe it's because of your cleverness."
He Dazhou is also very pleased that his former subordinates can be reused.
Sun Xin chuckled, he probably knew why.
It must be the day His Highness returns to the city, His Highness and the commander will remember his loyalty in their hearts!
Although he didn't think of asking for anything in return, but a noble person like His Highness can remember him as a small person, Sun Xin only felt that everything he did was worth it!
He suddenly raised his head and said firmly: "I am willing!"
No matter what the task is, how dangerous it is, he is willing to do it.
After entering the camp, he found that there were about 300 of his colleagues, and everyone was full of loyalty and energy.
The training of special forces is much harder than that of ordinary soldiers. They not only need to exercise their bodies, but also need to learn various skills.
Sometimes Sun Xin was so tired that he didn't know what he was doing.
What mission does His Highness want to entrust to them?
After the winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the east courtyard lit up charcoal.
Lou Yu's mouth was parched from the roast, and even drinking a few cups of herbal tea couldn't dispel his anger.
It happened that Ah Yan came to report that the large hydraulic spinning wheel had been built!
Lou Yu got up quickly and told him to prepare the horse.
Feng Erbi tied the cloak for him, and followed him to the riverside textile factory.
In order to build a large water-powered spinning wheel, when the textile factory was first built, Lou Yu asked the craftsmen to reserve suitable paths and spaces, so that the wheels and axles of the spinning wheel could be smoothly connected to the water, and the factory building could adapt to the size of the large spinning wheel.
Under Huo Xuan's command, ten skilled craftsmen suffocated ten times, and finally built a large spinning wheel filled with thirty spindles!
Seeing this spinning wheel with his own eyes, Lou Yu couldn't help being deeply shocked by the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.
It has to be said that the wisdom of ancient craftsmen should not be underestimated.
It is not a simple matter to restore the drawing to the real thing.
He asked Huo Xuan: "Have you tried it?"
Huo Xuan shook his head: "Not yet, just wait for His Highness to order."
Lou Yu temporarily recruited ten weaver girls who knew how to spin yarn, and asked them to spin yarn with a big spinning wheel.
Have the Weaver Girls ever seen a spinning wheel nearly half a story high?When I first saw it, I couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
Facing such a behemoth, they couldn't show any skill at all.
With Huo Xuan's patient explanation, they finally got started.
Driven by water power, the efficiency of the big spinning wheel was astonishingly high, but in a short while, they were able to spin the yarn that they usually could only spin in half a day!
If they could use such a spinning wheel, wouldn't they be able to weave more cloth? !
The more cloth they weave, the more money they can make!
Witnessing the efficacy with their own eyes, everyone was amazed.
Even the craftsmen who had been competing with each other lowered their heads in shame.
Compared with this spinning wheel, the ones they made before are simply too weak, too weak!
Huo Xuan was full of pride, looked up at Lou Yu, his eyes were full of "praise".
Lou Yu naturally wouldn't be stingy, and said with a smile, "Ah Xuan is credited with designing the spinning wheel, and the hundred gold is yours."
"Thank you, Your Highness! It is my honor to share your worries for Your Highness!"
Huo Xuan's big eyes were amazingly bright, as if he had found his direction in life.
Lou Yu then said to the other craftsmen: "All the masters have contributed to the construction of the spinning wheel, and each will receive ten taels of silver as a reward."
After all, it has delayed them for so long, ten taels of wages is not too much.
All the craftsmen were full of surprises, His Highness is really lenient!
Lou Yu continued: "The textile factory needs to rebuild the big spinning wheel. If you are willing, I will not reduce your salary."
"Return to Your Highness, the villain is willing!"
"The villain is also willing!"
Everyone agreed one after another, and no one was willing to give up the money they got.
With the big spinning wheel, the textile mill can start working.
Of course, before starting work, female workers had to be recruited.
Tao Kun's mother recovered from her illness, Shi heard that the textile factory wanted to recruit female workers, so she immediately discussed with her son.
"I heard that female workers over the age of 16 and under the age of 45 are recruited. My mother is 33 years old and her spinning skills are not bad. My mother wants to try it."
Tao Kun worried: "But mother, your body has just recovered, what if you are exhausted again?"
"Is this textile factory owned by His Royal Highness?" Mother Tao asked.
"Yes."
Mother Tao asked again: "When did His Royal Highness treat the workers badly?"
Tao Kun nodded, yes.
A few days ago, Sister Tang and Sister You were careful and cautious in calculating the accounts. They found a loophole and were rewarded with five catties of charcoal. Everyone was very envious.
As long as the work is done well, the palace will not treat them badly.
Moreover, there are fixed start and end times in the factory, so his mother shouldn't be too tired.
"Okay, then you go and try."
Mother Tao went away excitedly.
She thought that many people would sign up, but unexpectedly, very few people came to sign up.
Why is that?
Caixia and Fengchun are responsible for recruiting workers in the textile factory.
After Mother Tao signed up quickly, she couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you see anyone else?"
Caixia sighed softly: "All the weaving girls with good craftsmanship in the city have signed a contract with the master's family."
Those who have signed the contract can leave the master's house and regain their freedom only after the contract ends.
If the workmanship is not good, their textile factories will not accept it.
Mother Tao was stunned, "Is the textile factory still open?"
"Of course!"
Cai Xia said firmly.
Ten days passed, except for Mother Tao, only a few other refugee women signed up.
Caixia and Fengchun were not discouraged either, they came to the east courtyard to see Lou Yu.
"Your Highness, we can't recruit weaver girls in the city right now, and we can't just wait in the textile factory. Do you think the girls in Yangwu Mountain can do it? There are many girls in there who can spin and weave cloth. The slaves have tried their craft, and they are no worse than the weaver girls in the city. .”
Caixia asked boldly.
"Since they can spin and weave, why didn't they sign a contract with the cloth shop?" Lou Yu asked.
Caixia said angrily: "Those cloth shop owners are shallow-sighted, they know that girls have been kidnapped by mountain bandits before, so they are afraid of bad luck."
Lou Yu: "..."
All right, since those cloth houses don't want it, he wants it!
"Are they willing?"
Knowing that Lou Yu agreed, Caixia happily said, "They must be willing!"
How much money can I get if I can only do ten washing and mending jobs every day?
Caixia is also a woman, and she wants to help them as much as possible.
Ever since Tang Wen and You Hui achieved success, the other girls were extremely envious and always wanted to find a chance to make their mark.
The girls who can weave were overjoyed when they heard the news from Caixia and Fengchun.
"Master Caixia, what you said is true?! Can I also go to the textile factory?"
Cai Xia smiled and nodded: "As long as you don't be lazy or play tricks, and work hard, His Highness will definitely not treat you badly!"
"I want to sign up!"
"I want me too!"
Everyone rushed forward.
"All line up, ten come one by one, and report your name, age, and body size."
Someone asked: "Why write the size?"
For the girl's family, this is a private matter, how embarrassing.
Fengchun explained gently: "Don't be afraid, write down the size, it's just for the convenience of making work clothes for you."
"What are work clothes?"
"It means that everyone wears ten different clothes to work."
"Why do you wear the same clothes?"
Feng Chun couldn't explain this question clearly, anyway, His Highness explained it this way.
It is said that it can improve morale and cultivate the self-confidence of female workers.
Lou Yu's idea is: when ten groups of people wear the same clothes, the individuals among them will involuntarily have a sense of belonging and collective honor.
Dasheng's girls are born with a lower status than men, plus these girls have suffered a lot and have been discriminated against by the people around them, so they will definitely have low self-esteem and sensitivity.
What Lou Yu has to do is to let them form ten groups, use the power of the group to resist the injustice of the outside world, and show their demeanor.
People can only be valued by others if they value themselves.
Only when these girls regain their self-confidence can they shine their own light and not let others underestimate them.
It's just that Caixia and Fengchun don't understand these principles, and neither do the girls.
There were 45 people who signed up this time, plus those who signed up from Xincheng, a total of 55 people.
For a newly opened textile factory, this number is enough.
Ten days before starting work, all female workers received two sets of overalls.
Both sets are light blue.
The work clothes are not well-made, and the texture is not delicate.
But one morning, when ten groups of women in blue overalls appeared on the streets of the city, everyone couldn't help but stop and watch.
Caixia and Fengchun were appointed stewards of the textile factory, and they also wore the same style of work clothes, except that they were both dark blue.
Some children couldn't help asking: "Mother, who are they and why are they all dressed the same?"
The girls were shy and sensitive, and being watched by so many people, they couldn't help but look down.
Caixia replied loudly: "We are female workers in Xincheng Textile Factory! We work for His Highness!"
wow——
The crowd roared.
Is this a female worker in a textile factory?All ten are well dressed!
Someone boldly asked, "How much does it cost to work in a textile factory?"
Caixia said: "Internship for three months first, three hundred wen per month; after three months, qualified workers can become regular workers, six hundred wen per month!"
The people in Gyeongju now know the difference between interns and regular workers, and they can't help but become more noisy when they hear this.
"Six hundred for ten months! That's so high!"
"My God, my mother-in-law works for the cloth village, and it only costs one hundred and fifty cash in ten months!"
"I knew I would sign up too!"
"Now even the little lady can earn so much?"
"The world is going downhill! How can a woman show her face!"
More people marveled under the impact of money, only a few sour reprimanded a few words.
Caixia and other human rights pretended not to hear.
Seeing the envious eyes of the people around them, the girls gradually gained confidence.
They raised their heads and straightened their backs.
When they arrived in Xincheng, the neatly dressed female workers caused heated discussions again.
They have become ten beautiful landscapes in the industrial zone.
Every time they go to work or leave work, they walk arm in arm with smiles on their faces, and there are always men who look at them secretly.
The old-fashioned cloth shop owner in the city sneered secretly.
Recruiting those female workers with a bad reputation and paying such a high monthly salary, His Royal Highness is really not afraid of losing money?
I'm afraid the cloth spun in ten months can't be sold for that much money, right?
They have naturally heard about the deeds of the hydraulic spinning wheel, but they will not believe it until they see it with their own eyes.
Ten months later, the profit of the cloth shop in the city has not changed much, and the owners of the cloth shop are relieved.
They were really worrying for nothing.
Just to put it bluntly, how could a textile factory compare to their established cloth shop?
But in the second month, the number of people who came to buy cloth gradually decreased. When they inquired, they realized that the common people had gone to Xincheng to buy cloth!
It is said that the cloth from Xincheng Textile Factory is not only high in quality, but also cheap in price. Even caravans from other places order goods to sell in other places.
After the paper mill and wood factory, the textile factory became Lou Yuxin's money-making machine.
Zhinu, who had a contract in the city, almost vomited blood.
Women workers in textile factories easily earn hundreds of Wen a month, but they only get 150 Wen a month after exhausting themselves, and they are also picked on by cloth dealers. This ten comparison is really unacceptable.
In ten o'clock, going to work in a textile factory has become the ideal of many young ladies.
They also want to put on that work uniform, they also want to get a monthly salary of several hundred Wen, and they also want to receive the envious eyes of others.
The ethos of Gyeongju City has undergone obvious changes.
There are fewer and fewer words about female workers in textile factories being immoral, and many families are even proud that their daughters or mother-in-law can work in textile factories.
The girls in Yangwushan gradually regained their value and became optimistic and open-minded.
They even have quite a few suitors.
It's just that they have been hurt by men, and they don't plan to deal with men in a short time.
Gyeongju City is changing with each passing day, but the people outside Gyeongju City are living in dire straits.
More and more refugees are flocking to Gyeongju City. For Lou Yu, these are a steady stream of labor.
He must firmly grasp these ten waves of demographic dividends.
Just when Lou Yu was planning to stay in the mansion for the winter, the mansion office suddenly received a distress letter from Yizhou.
The letter immediately arrived in Lou Yu's hands.
This is a letter written by the prefect of Yizhou himself, roughly meaning:
Brother Guo, there are ten gangs of bandits in Yizhou, and they are about to attack and occupy the capital city!Not long ago, the Holy Majesty ordered that after the vassal king's military power was taken over, if there were bandits nearby, the generals who took back the troops could come to support them nearby.You see, we are neighbors, why not let General Han Yun lead his troops to help us!
Lou Yu almost laughed and summoned Feng Sanmo.
"Is there any change in Yizhou?"
Feng Sanmo has a huge information network, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "The Sanjinpo bandits have become more and more powerful after selling ore for profit. Recently, they tried to break through the government office and occupy the city."
All the money Sanjinpo earned was Lou Yu's, but they didn't know it.
Zheng Yishi always thought that he was dealing with Taoist temples.
When Lou Yu made a deal with Zheng Yi at the beginning, he also had the intention of raising Gu.
After Sanjinpo has grown in power, he must want to break through the Yizhou government.
It is impossible for the prefect of Yizhou to sit still and die, right?
But in the vicinity of Yizhou, apart from the government soldiers and garrisons in Gyeongju, only the frontier troops in Jizhou remained.
Can the frontier army please move?Of course not!
Lou Yu was waiting for this opportunity, and won the pyrite in ten moves!
He said: "Reply ten letters to him in Guo Lian's tone, and say that rescue is possible, but there are conditions."
Feng Sanmo asked: "How to imitate Guo Lian's handwriting?"
This is a problem.
Although the magistrate of Yizhou and Guo Lian had no intersection before, he could know Guo Lian's handwriting through other channels. If he found that the handwriting was different, it might be a bad thing.
He asked: "Is there anyone in Anbu who is good at imitating other people's handwriting?"
Feng Sanmo shook his head.
Most of the Anbu members he is currently developing are some inconspicuous little people.
Those who can imitate other people's handwriting must be proficient in the Four Treasures of the Study. Not to mention the rich and noble family background, there is always some ability, and they will not easily become members of the Anbu.
Lou Yu also knows this.
He had no choice but to summon ten officials from the government office and asked them ten times, but none of them could imitate Guo Lian's words.
When Huo Yanlai presented the training progress of the three major battalions, he saw Lou Yu frowning and lying on the table.
"what happened?"
Lou Yu opened his eyelids to look at him ten times, and showed him the letter from the prefect of Yizhou.
As expected of Huo Yan, Huo Yan knew his intention after reading the letter.
"You want to make a deal with the prefect of Yizhou. As long as we take down Sanjinpo and capture a group of bandits, then Sanjinpo and the Jinque Ridge they occupy will be in charge of 'Han Yun', right?"
Lou Yu raised his eyebrows, "The one who knows me is Huo Erlang."
Huo Yanjun smiled, and asked: "Since you have a countermeasure, why are you bothered?"
"There are countermeasures, but there is no one to write the letter."
Huo Yan didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Do you have Guo Lian's characters?"
"Yes, I have."
Lou Yu responded casually, and was stunned for ten moments before realizing it.
He stared at Huo Yan with burning eyes, suppressed his excitement and said, "Can you imitate handwriting?"
Huo Yan didn't like to show off at first, but seeing Lou Yu looking at him like this, he couldn't help saying: "The inscription on your fan before is the pen of everyone in the previous dynasty."
Sure enough, the admiration in His Royal Highness' eyes was even greater.
Huo Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited, so he talked more: "It's just some small tricks, it's nothing."
"Don't underestimate yourself!"
Lou Yu grabbed his hand and praised: "You have helped me ten times with your little skill!"
Shizi's hands were warm and delicate, only a few fingertips were calloused from practice with arrows.
Huo Yan looked down quietly, with a smile on his lips.
"Your hands can shoot arrows, dance knives, paint, and carve. I didn't expect to imitate them. Why are you so good?!"
Lou Yu's admiration and admiration were completely sincere, without any falsehood.
"Your hands can cultivate land, make salt, smelt iron, and build cities."
Huo Yan stared at him with an extremely serious expression.
"These things you do are all feats that benefit the people and benefit the country and the people. Compared with you, I am really nothing."
Lou Yu was praised very badly
