After carefully inspecting the loom built by Zhao Zengjin, Li Yuanjing couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
really.
Professional matters should still be left to professionals.
but.
Li Yuanjing soon discovered several details that could be improved on this loom, and immediately mentioned them to Zhao Zengjin.
Several key joints of the loom can be made of iron rings and then greased with oil. This will not only make the overall structure of the loom more stable, but also further increase the efficiency.
after all.
After this kind of iron connection is oiled, not only the wear will be reduced, but it will also be stronger and naturally more efficient.
"Master, your brain is really, really... Hey, this guy really needs to study, he needs to study..."
After Li Yuanjing finished speaking, Zhao Zengjin quickly understood the principle. He admired Li Yuanjing so much that he couldn't describe his mood in words.
Seeing her man acting like this, Zhao Zengjin's mother-in-law also looked at Li Yuanjing with admiration and respect, and said to herself:
"You still have to be a scholar. I really made the right choice this time as the head of the family."
Even their daughter Ginkgo looked at Li Yuanjing with even more respect and admiration.
And Jade Lady.
He stood quietly aside, pursed his lips and snickered.
She knew that her brother was the best!
…
Zhao Zengjin took over the important task of building looms, which undoubtedly greatly liberated Li Yuanjing and gave Li Yuanjing more time and energy to speed up his layout.
That night.
Li Yuanjing took Yu Niang and Zhang Kun to fish once, and the harvest was huge.
After Li Yuanjing's more detailed teaching this time, Zhang Kun was basically able to fish alone.
After coming back.
Li Yuanjing took Zhang Kun to the old village chief's house to discuss the matter of 'building a factory' tomorrow.
Mainly because of Li Yuanjing's status at this time, he no longer had to go fishing secretly in the middle of the night, and he came back at just the right time.
"Yuan Jing, this is a great thing. Don't worry. I will contact the men in our village right now. I will take two or three days at most to get this done for you in advance!"
After hearing Li Yuanjing's intention, the old village chief couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately went out to call for help without sleeping.
While Li Yuanjing was helpless about this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
original.
Li Yuanjing was quite cautious about the visit of Murong Kai and Zhao Bingchun.
after all.
With the experience of later generations, Li Yuanjing is very clear about the gray areas of equality, and naturally understands the terrible risks hidden under the dignity.
But looking at it now.
Even though there are still many risks involved, one thing is of great benefit to Li Yuanjing.
That is——
Li Yuanjing's prestige in Quanzi Village was quickly established.
Moreover, due to the confluence of various factors, even the old village chief, Li Yuanjing, seemed to be following Li Yuanjing's lead.
but.
Although many things went very smoothly, Li Yuanjing did not have time to rest after returning home.
I quickly got into drawing the ‘factory drawings’.
Although the entire farmland in Quanzi Village was already under Li Yuanjing's name at this time, the villagers of Quanzi Village, including Li Yuanjing, no longer had to ask Xue Dashan for instructions when building a house.
Even just asking Li Yuanjing and the old village chief for instructions is enough.
But the fire protection conditions in this era are really a bit worrying.
As for the textile industry, as a densely populated industry, it is naturally the hardest hit area by fires, so Li Yuanjing could not help but be careless.
After several on-site surveys.
Li Yuanjing finally decided on the plan.
Early days.
He plans to first build a factory that can accommodate about twenty looms, two warehouses, and several large and small dormitories.
after all.
There are less than 200 households in Quanzi Village, with about 500 or 600 people.
Excluding the men among them, and then excluding the children among them, there are only about a hundred women in their prime.
Twenty looms working in two shifts can provide employment for forty people, let alone three shifts.
The most important thing.
Li Yuanjing did not intend to use the loom to make a fortune, but to form a community of interests!
This base number is almost there.
…
Early the next morning, the old village chief personally led the young men, No. 30 and 40, to the gate of Li Yuanjing's house.
After Li Yuanjing took the drawings and informed the old village chief and several other people in charge of the details, these people quickly started working.
Those who laid the foundation laid the foundation, those who settled the accounts settled the accounts, and those who dug the soil dug the soil.
soon.
An old craftsman calculated the various materials that needed to be used.
Although Li Yuanjing's father, Li Laoshi, is a leader in this industry, Li Yuanjing knows nine things out of ten and knows nothing about it.
But such a large volume and area only cost a total of two taels of silver. Li Yuanjing didn't bother to calculate it, so he just paid for it and asked people to buy it.
Originally, when fellow villagers in the same village were building houses, including weddings and funerals, the common people came to help and did not receive wages. They only had to take care of the food.
Especially in the winter when things are starting to slow down.
But how could Li Yuanjing let these men work in vain?
Express your stance immediately.
Every man who came to help was given five bucks a day and had enough to eat.
As for some of the old craftsmen, their daily income was ten cents, and they had to include meat in their meals.
This moment caused the villagers to explode, calling Li Yuanjing a "great good man" one by one.
Several old craftsmen, in particular, were so excited that they burst into tears and said bluntly, "Lao Laoshi Li has a good son."
Li Yuanjing was already familiar with such scenes, and immediately mingled with everyone more affectionately.
Li Yuanjing is busy here, and in the yard, Yuniang and Zhao Zengjin's mother-in-law Chen Chunyan are also not idle.
They have already begun to call the people on the list of women in the village that Li Yuanjing gave them in advance to come over for interviews.
This list is not simple.
It is the result of Li Yuanjing’s careful balance.
Not only the ladies from the wealthy families in the village were taken care of, but also some orphans and widowed Li Yuanjing were taken into consideration.
certainly.
Xiugu cannot be left out either.
In this way, not only can it bring about effects, but it will also be difficult for others to find faults.
"Xiu Gu, your craftsmanship is really good. Okay, you go back and rest for the next two days. When the house here is built, you can come over and start work immediately. Three big bucks a day, and you will pay it on the same day. Do you understand?
?”
At this time.
Xiu Gu came to the interview with great trepidation and finally passed the assessment. Chen Chunyan had already received some advice from Li Yuanjing before, but she was obviously very smart. After asking Yu Niang for advice, she said to Xiu Gu with a smile.
"Wow……"
Xiugu couldn't hold back her excitement any longer and cried loudly. Then she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Chunyan desperately:
"Sister Yanzi, thank you, thank you..."
"Hey."
"You silly girl, why are you thanking me? Why don't you go and thank Madam?"
How smart is Chen Chunyan? She reacted instantly and hurriedly gave Xiu Gu some advice.
Only then did Xiu Gu come back to her senses and hurriedly went over to kowtow to Yu Niang.
He saw that Yu Niang had quickly comforted Xiu Gu, but here, there were dozens of other women, all of them acting obediently and trying to please others, waiting for him to speak.
Chen Chunyan felt indescribably high-spirited, and she really looked several years younger.
No wonder people say:
'Where are the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door?'
I am not even in front of the prime minister, I am just a member of my boss's family, and that's already the case.
in the future.
When the boss is truly developed, what will it look like?
Thinking.
Chen Chunyan couldn't help but become more and more high-spirited, walking with wind in her eyes, and threw herself into her new job, which was already the envy of countless people, with fuller enthusiasm. This chapter has been completed!
