In contrast, Yang Min's job of recruiting female workers was much smoother!
In the same few months, Yang Min recruited more than a thousand female workers!
This is because the number of workers in textile and dyeing factories is limited. Otherwise, even if she recruits another thousand people, there will be no problem!
The reputation of Linshan Village has long been established. I wonder how many female workers are waiting and looking forward to working in Linshan Village!
Although he was mentally prepared, Zhou Changmin was still shocked when he walked into the textile factory and saw the scene inside!
In addition to the clean and tidy environment and the hundreds of female workers wearing uniforms, what shocked him the most were the strange-looking spinning wheels that had no handwheels but extra pedals and eight spindles!
"Why is your spinning wheel different from other spinning wheels?"
Zhou Changmin walked to a spinning wheel, looked at it carefully, and said.
"This is an improvement I made on the basis of an ordinary spinning wheel. It uses a foot pedal to provide power, replacing the traditional hand wheel, which frees up both hands. In addition, through structural changes, a traditional spindle
It turned into eight spindles.”
Now that he had been shown the spinning wheel, Lin Xu gave a brief introduction.
"You actually improved this?!"
Zhou Changmin looked at Lin Xu in shock!
"Haha, actually this was all given to me by my mentor."
Lin Xu revealed the mysterious mentor again.
“It’s incredible!”
Zhou Changmin sighed: "No wonder you can pay such a high wage to the hired workers. With such a loom, one can almost carry the weight of eight traditional looms! It is equivalent to one person can work as eight people! Compared to
For ordinary textile workshops, the efficiency here is much higher!"
Lin Xu smiled and was about to answer when Zhou Changmin continued: "Can I try?"
"Try...what to try?"
Lin Xu didn't react for a while.
"Try this."
Zhou Changmin pointed to the spinning wheel. This old fox, who had always been indifferent to mood and anger in the past, now looked a little red.
"Forehead......"
Lin Xu was a little confused!
The dignified second-rank official, the governor of Zhejiang, actually wants to try a spinning wheel himself?!
How funny?!
However, Zhou Changmin looked very serious and did not seem to be joking!
"Back then, my mother spun and weaved day and night so that I could study, and that's how I became today. I have a special, very special feeling for the spinning wheel! At that time, I was thinking, if there were more spinning wheels,
A few spindles will be enough, so my mother doesn’t have to be so tired..."
"Now, I finally see a spinning wheel with eight spindles!"
"It's a pity that my mother has passed away!"
"Otherwise, I don't know how happy she would be when she sees this kind of spinning wheel!"
Mentioning this past incident, Zhou Changmin was obviously moved with real emotion, and his eyes were a little red!
Lin Xu saw all this clearly, and while feeling a little more kind to Zhou Changmin, he also had a little more respect for him!
It turns out that this is also a man of iron blood and tender heart! This chapter has been completed!
