Merchants value profit and are more smart.

They are all knowledgeable people who travel around the world, knowing that textiles are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, porcelain is in Jiangxi, and tea is in Fujian.

Leizhou wants to open a port to engage in textiles, which is completely a fool. Not to mention the investment in building a Leizhou wharf, the construction of cotton production areas, the cultivation of weavers, the creation of looms, etc., it all takes a long time.

It is simply impossible to achieve overnight.

The most important thing is that Guangzhou Prefecture already has a certain foundation in the textile industry, so why do you waste time in Leizhou Prefecture? Who would be so stupid? Choosing to build a textile workshop in this weak foundation is not a work.

Dead?

Although the idea is beautiful, it is absolutely impossible for them to foolishly invest the silver they have earned over the years here, so while Lin Weiran proposed the idea, they decided to vote with their feet.

But facing this Ming Dynasty official star and the future leader of the Guangdong Township Party, they naturally did not dare to turn around and complain in person. Instead, they kept a polite smile and continued to "visit", but their hearts were filled with strong feelings.

Thick disdain and contempt.

The east room of this workshop is not big, about 100 square meters, with more than 30 looms neatly placed on both sides. A weaver sitting in front of each loom, all of whom were weaving cloth seriously and sending out

The chirping sound of weaving seems a little noisy.

Twenty and thirty merchants walked in together, but they didn't know if they were bored or curious, and they were also looking at everything around them.

“These weavers weave so quickly!”

"I have seen many superb weavers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but none of them are so fast!"

"You are wrong. It's not that they are fast. It's impossible for people to be so fast. It's... a loom!"

...

The merchants' eyes were gradually attracted by the sight because they discovered the unusualness of this textile workshop, where the speed of the loom weaving cloth was beyond imagination.

A piece of cotton cloth, in addition to raw materials such as cotton, is also the expenses of weavers.

Especially a skilled worker in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his monthly wages reach a huge amount of 200% each. But even if he has such a high monthly wage, some places may not be invited to people, because these skilled weaving cloths are fast.

It is sought after by various weaving workshops.

If a workshop has forty looms, ordinary weavers can produce 100 pieces of cloth per month, while skilled weavers can produce 200 pieces of cloth per month, the value of this exquisite weavers is several times higher than that of ordinary

Weaver.

But now, just such a weird loom makes ordinary weavers weaving several times faster, far exceeding those sought after exquisite weavers. How can they not be shocked?

After discovering this, the merchants' attitude became more and their expressions became solemn. They carefully examined this strange loom, trying to see through the mystery.

"The mystery seems to be on this beating shuttle!"

"Yes, ordinary shuttles are still, but this shuttle can jump!"

"Yes! Have you noticed that this beating shuttle saves a man's hand!"

...

More than a dozen merchants gathered in front of a loom and soon discovered the abnormality of the shuttle. They expressed their opinions and showed shock on their faces.

Some people stared at the shuttle that was jumping like an elf, and their eyes were rotating with the shuttle. However, Aunt Cuihua, who operated the weaver, deliberately weaving it faster as if she was deliberately against them, so that the shuttle would jump more happily

.

Lin Weiran witnessed all this, his mouth slightly raised, and a sense of confidence showed on his face.

This is why he dared to take on the important task of opening a sea. With this shuttle technology, the textile industry in Leizhou Prefecture can quickly become the textile center of the Ming Dynasty.

But don’t underestimate the driving force of loom technology to regional development. There are actually precedents in this kind of thing.

Songjiang Prefecture was able to become the largest cotton weaving center in the Ming Dynasty, but it was thanks to a person - Huang Daopo.

Huang Daopo was born in poverty and lived in Yazhou, Qiongzhou Prefecture when he was young. He learned from the Li people how to use tools to weave Yazhou quilts. During the Yuanzhen period of the Yuan Dynasty, he returned to his hometown and lived in Wunijing Town east of Songjiang Prefecture.

She began to teach people how to make cotton here, teach and promote textile technologies such as cotton gins, cotton bows, spinning wheels and looms, which made Wunijing famous all over the world and spread all over the country.

It was Huang Daopo who spread textile tools and technology, which made Songjiang Prefecture the largest cotton weaving center.

In view of this, when Lin Qingran was in the capital, he decided to do some work on the upgrade of the loom, intending to introduce shuttle technology to change the textile industry and build Leizhou Prefecture into a new cotton weaving center in the Ming Dynasty.

The shuttle is not complicated. In fact, there is an extra chute inside the shuttle. Springs are installed at both ends of the slide, so that the shuttle can pass through very quickly, allowing the cotton thread to achieve staggered latitude, greatly improving efficiency.

The biggest problem here is the spring, but the exquisite craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty Work Department were very powerful and helped him solve this core problem, thus realizing his ideas.

Now that the flying shuttle loom is successfully launched, as long as the business is properly operated and these merchants are involved, the affordable and affordable Leizhou Bubiyang can become famous all over the world and become a new cotton spinning center.

Once the cotton spinning industry chain can be formed, then his construction of Leizhou wharf will become a source of water, which can completely push Leizhou cloth to overseas markets, and his important task of opening the sea will also be realized.

A beautiful woman in white veil also walked into the workshop, standing noble and dignified by a loom. Her eyes, which were like autumn water, fell on the beating shuttle, and her eyes were also revealed.

There is a strangeness, and there is also a relief.

At this moment, all the doubts in her heart were resolved. This man took on the important task of opening up the imperial court because of this technology, and he dared to return to Leizhou Prefecture to serve as the governor and the Maritime Department.

Reliance on the lifting.

It just made her confused. It would be fine if this man did a great job in writing and poetry, but why could he improve the loom and have such a powerful business acumen?

She couldn't even imagine that if she allowed this man to grow and grow, and if she accumulated wealth, she would probably be a matter of being on the board in the future.

Perhaps curious or shocked, Mrs. Jiang's eyes fell boldly on Lin Qingran. However, when her eyes fell on him, her body trembled slightly. The man actually had a very shameful look.
