Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 352, this is impossible

Wang Shouren is a dignified Hanlin, he only needs to stay in the Hanlin Academy with peace of mind, and quietly walk the path his father Wang Hua walked, and the Wang family can really reach its peak in the future.

Wang Hua can achieve the position of the Six Departments and Nine Ministers, and he, Wang Shouren, can also do the same. Because of the huge benefits, the Wang family will be many times better than other Caiyun Textile Factory who have worked so hard to run this so-called Caiyun Textile Factory.

Once that time came, he, Wang Shouren, would have nothing he wanted, and someone would deliver as many pieces of cloth as he wanted.

Of course, this is the thinking of Wang Gui and Wang Xian, and it is also the thinking of most people in this era. It is difficult for them to understand Wang Shouren's spirit of exploration.

He is not running a textile factory, he is exploring, researching, studying a kind of knowledge that no one has ever studied and explored.

The textile factories opened by Liu Jin and Wang Shouren quickly started to operate, and a lot of money was sprinkled, and they could also feel the speed of this era. To be precise, they should feel the hard work of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

In just one month, the Caiyun Textile Factory founded by Wang Shouren officially went into production.

There are brand-new spinning machines and looms. Here, more than a hundred recruited workers are seriously spinning and weaving, which makes the sound of wood rubbing against teeth sour in the whole factory. .

"Uncle Xian, my plan is to recruit [-] people, why only recruit more than [-] now?"

Wang Shouren inspected the factory. His plan was to open a large textile factory with thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

However, Wang Shouren is also very planned in his work. He does not want to reach this scale all at once, but prepares to recruit [-] people to test the water first, to see the situation, and after getting familiar with the textile industry, he will slowly expand step by step. own scale.

"My lord, it's really difficult to recruit workers here in the capital. I offered a monthly fee of one tael and five cents, plus three meals a day, and I only recruited a hundred or so people. No matter how much, I really couldn't recruit them." arrive."

Wang Xian said helplessly that it was only after he came to the capital that he realized that the labor force in the capital was extremely tight and it was difficult to recruit people. You can recruit as many people as you want.

You must know that what textile chiefs need is not a strong and powerful labor force, women are fine, even children are fine. In this era, there is no such thing as child labor, nor is it forbidden to recruit children.

With such treatment, if it is in Zhejiang, then it is really possible to recruit as many people as you want.

But here is the capital, there are too many factories and workshops of all kinds, and there are so many workers in need. Many factories have been forced to pay higher wages, or go to Shanxi,, Recruitment in Shandong, Henan and other places.

It's really hard for Wang Xian to offer such a condition to recruit people.

Wang Shouren looked at the employees in his textile factory. Many of them were children, only in their teens, and they were all girls. They were all immature, but they worked very seriously.

Girls have not been valued since ancient times, especially girls from ordinary families. They definitely don't read books, but they do a lot of work. Now that textile factories are recruiting workers, for ordinary families, it is just right to turn the family's Girls are sent out to work to earn money, and they can earn a lot of money for the family before they get married.

"How many people are employed in Liu Jin's factory?"

After thinking about it, Wang Shouren asked again.

"The first batch of recruits at the Jingcheng Textile Factory is full of [-] people. They offer high monthly fees, good treatment, and easy recruitment. Many people are relying on connections to send their own dolls. "

Wang Xian replied that Wang Shouren had to compare everything with the Jingcheng Textile Factory now, so Wang Gui and Wang Xian should always pay attention to the movement of the Jingcheng Textile Factory.

"Well, it seems that if we want to expand in the next step, the monthly payment must also be increased, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit enough people."

Wang Shouren nodded, thinking about it and remembering this.

"My lord, let's not be in a hurry to expand, let's take it one step at a time, a hundred people is still a big factory."

Wang Gui and Wang Xian at the side looked at each other, thought for a while and said.

The two of them always felt that Wang Shouren was just playing for fun, and when he got tired of playing, he would naturally stop playing, and the money spent now was just for him to have fun and amuse himself.

The Wang family has a big business, so this little money can still be taken out casually, but if the scale continues to expand, the money invested will become larger and larger, and the price of this game will be too high.

"Hmm~"

Wang Shouren nodded irrefutably.

Time passed day by day, and soon, a week passed, Caiyun Textile Factory also wove the first batch of cloth, the quantity was only [-] bolts of white cloth.

One hundred and fifty bolts of white cloth were sold by Caiyun Textile Factory at a price of two hundred and fifty renminbi per piece of cloth, and the total price was only less than thirty taels of silver.

Listening to Wang Gui and Wang Xian's report, Wang Shouren couldn't laugh or cry. After throwing out so much, a lot of money, the first time the money came in was less than thirty taels of silver. It was really a loss to his grandma's family.

Calculated this month's revenue is more than [-] taels of silver, and just paying these employees wages costs [-] taels of silver every month, plus the purchase of cotton, machines, etc., which is quite proper Blood loss.

"My lord, are we still driving?"

Looking at Wang Shouren's appearance, Wang Gui asked weakly.

In his opinion, as long as he knows that opening this textile factory will not make money, he should soon transfer his energy to his own job, and concentrating on official career is the kingly way.

"Open, of course open~"

Wang Shouren was unmoved, and then thought for a while and said, "Do you think there is a machine that allows one person to weave several bolts of cloth in a day?"

He thought of the new spinning machine and weaving machine mentioned by Liu Jin. According to Liu Jin, this new spinning machine and weaving machine can greatly improve the efficiency of spinning and weaving, far from being in his own hands. These conventional spinning machines can be compared.

"It's impossible. How can there be such a machine? How can it be possible for one person to weave several bolts of cloth a day?"

When Wang Xian and Wang Gui heard this, they immediately shook their heads. They have been in this industry for a long time, and they know how to spin and weave cloth. From south to north, everyone has always used the same spinning and weaving machines. , and the efficiency is about the same, it depends on the proficiency.

"Come on, I'll take you to the capital textile factory."

Wang Shouren smiled, thought for a while and took the two of them to the capital textile factory.

When Wang Shouren came, Liu Jin happened to be in his factory. Hearing that Wang Shouren was visiting, Liu Jin naturally received him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Wang, I heard that you also opened a spinning mill?"

Liu Jin walked with Wang Shouren in the spinning mill, took Wang Shouren to visit his factory, and chatted while walking.

"I'm dissatisfied with Brother Liu, I'm here this time to learn from the scriptures."

Wang Shouren nodded with a smile, and carefully observed Liu Jin's capital spinning factory.

Compared with his own Caiyun Spinning Factory, Liu Jin's factory is truly magnificent. The factory is very large and covers a large area. At this time, only a small part of it is put into use, and there are a lot of The factory building is under continuous construction.

The textile factories that have been built are all hardened with cement, clean, tidy, and neatly planned, and trees are planted on both sides of the road.

On the concrete road in this spacious and tidy factory park, there are people pushing four-wheeled vehicles to and from each factory building, which seems very busy.

The factory building is also very grand, built very high, with large windows, and all glass is used, so the light in the factory building is very good, not as dark as my own factory, and it is done during the day Like the night.

Compared with Liu Jin's factory, his own factory is like an ugly duckling, it's completely shameless and untouchable.

Wang Gui and Wang Xian, who followed Wang Shouren, were dumbfounded. The investment was too big. To build such a huge factory with such a high standard, this investment is not enough without more than a hundred thousand silver.

"Haha, Brother Wang, just read it casually, and ask any questions you don't understand."

When Liu Jin heard this, he laughed happily and said very generously.

"Brother Liu, how much cloth can you weave in a week?"

Wang Shouren thought for a while and asked.

"Let's think about it, maybe [-] bolts of cloth were woven last week."

Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.

"Fifty thousand horses?"

When Wang Gui and Wang Xian heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, and they yelled out, looking unbelievable. Even Wang Shouren had already had a premonition in his heart, and at this moment he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. .

"This is impossible. Even if your factory has a large number of people, it is impossible to weave [-] pieces of cloth in one week."

Wang Xian shook his head again and again, unable to believe this number at all.

It is very clear how many people are working in the Liujin factory. The scale of 2000 people is 20 times that of the Caiyun Textile Factory. Logically speaking, the output should be about 20 times that of the Caiyun Textile Factory. about.

But now Liu Jin actually said that their weekly output has reached [-] horses, which is more than ten times that of [-] horses. The difference between the numbers is too big, so big that it makes people feel that Liu Jin is just bragging without telling the truth. .

"It's impossible. We can weave [-] bolts of cloth in a week. This output is really too large."

Wang Gui also nodded and said, they are old people in this industry, and the output of the Caiyun Textile Factory managed and produced by the two of them has not even reached one-tenth of that here, how could they believe this.
