Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 216
Although Chen Yunniang's discipline is strict, it is not completely unreasonable.

They are now in the Tianzihao Park, and before entering the park, they saw a gong hanging at the entrance of the park, and the gong would ring every half an hour, and the weavers could stop and rest for a while when they heard the sound.

As for where to rest, Jiang Fosang proposed in advance to leave an open space in each park, plant flowers and grass in this open space, set up a few swings, and build a leisure room next to it, where you can sit and chat. Connected to the workshop, the weavers are hungry, thirsty and drink, and going to the toilet should be as convenient as possible.

Chen Yunniang disagreed at first, she felt that there was no need to build a leisure room at all.The Chen family has been weaving for generations, and they have always treated the weavers kindly, but they will not reach this level.

Moreover, as a weaver woman, Chen Yunniang asked herself that once she sat down in front of the loom, although she did not forget to eat and sleep, she did not like to be interrupted for no reason.Likewise, she doesn't like her staff being intermittent.

However, because she is a weaver, she is more aware of the hardships of the weaver.

Although the vast majority of these people are slaves who are used to the hardest and most tiring work, in their view, being able to enter the weaving room is a feat, and they dare not ask for more.But if the proprietor is willing to give these graces, why should she stop them?
"...I can't guarantee that the weavers can weave their webs freely like the spiders under the eaves. What I can promise is that I will not treat anyone as a mule, and I will try my best to take into account the interests of the silkworm farmers and weavers. No matter how strict the government order is, there will be no such thing as fishing in the marsh..."

That day when discussing brocade under the lamp, Jiang Fusang remembered every word Chen Junniang said, but he didn't dare to take everything seriously.

Unexpectedly, the person who said these words did not forget, and they are fulfilling them one by one.

"Miss?"

Chen Yunniang came back to her senses, and said, "I was busy teaching after the new year, and I caught up with the busy farming some time ago, and I have been preparing for the brocade weaving meeting. Therefore, the leisure room proposed by the lady has not been fully built. The steward Xiaoliang said , and arrange it immediately after the tapestry weaving session is over."

"It must be completed before the end of the year." Jiang Fosang looked up and asked, "How long can weavers rest at noon?"

An hour after Chen Yunniang returned, Jiang Fosang nodded.

"In terms of manpower?"

"Barely enough for now."

The manor planted mulberry and raised silkworms, so there were not a few slave boys who could weave brocade. After some excavation, Chen Yunniang selected nearly 400 people, including many ingenious male slaves.

Jiang Fosang thought she was in a hurry to go to the doctor, but then he thought, Master Ying can kill the enemy and defend the village, and Chen Junniang can support the family, why can't men weave?What is the difference between her subconscious thoughts and those rotten scholars who keep saying that women must be at home.

Women don't have to stay indoors. Women's hands can not only pick up needles to attract money, but also hold spears, dance halberds, bend bows and shoot arrows.Similarly, it is also possible for men to weave and embroider at home.

Asked again later, sure enough, the ones that Chen Yunniang picked out were not much inferior to ordinary weavers after some training.There were also a few who were not good at weaving, but were very good at embroidering, so they were sent to the Wenxiu Department.

In addition to these 400 people, nearly 600 people were selected from [-] tenant households, with an average of two people per household.

"The monthly money given by the queen is far more cost-effective than their plowing. They wish they could all come, but not everyone can afford it. Besides, the farmland in the manor also needs someone to plow it."

That is to say, there are more than a thousand weavers in total at present, and Jiang Fosang finally understands why Yunniang said that it is barely enough.

There are currently 3000 looms in the factory, each of which requires a weaver. If two to three auxiliary workers such as reeling, weaving, and dyeing are added, at least [-] to [-] people are needed.

The number of existing weavers has just entered the threshold, it is indeed very reluctant...

Chen Yunniang said, "I arranged the thousands of weavers in this way: on the side of Tianzihao Park, one hundred Dahualou looms, each with two weavers; on the other side of Dizihao Park and Herringbone Park, three hundred Xiaohualou knitting machine and [-] double heald knitting machines, each equipped with a weaver."

Jiang Fosang frowned, "How is this possible?"

"For one thing, there are only a handful of people who can skillfully operate the Dahua Building Machine in the shortest possible time; moreover, those slave boys who are not suitable for brocade weaving are not unsuitable to stay in brocade weaving, and they can also do some direct or indirect and silk weaving. Something about tapestry."

Chen Yunniang picked out another 200 people, some of them were dedicated to dyeing, and some were dedicated to spinning and weaving.As for the comprehensive work, spinning and unwinding work, etc., they can be trained separately.

"In this way, the weavers can specialize in weaving. It's just a little embarrassing for Xiaoliang to be in charge. I kept asking him for someone. During the busy season, there was almost not enough manpower, and there is really no delay here..."

"I have already negotiated with Liang Shuo on the farmland orchard. If the manpower is really insufficient, we can hire outside servants to do it. We will receive daily commissions. Woodcutters and farmers will always gather. It's just that we are left and right. , can only last for a while. After the brocade weaving meeting, I'm afraid..."

These days, the purchase of silk and dyes alone costs a lot, not to mention the payment of tenants, helpers, and craftsmen. Although there are three shops in the West Market to support them, it is still a drop in the bucket. Fortunately, there is also the harvest of the manor itself. .

It's just that in this case, it is not realistic to buy slaves on a large scale.

Jiang Fosang pondered for a long time, and said, "Forget it, I'll figure out a solution for this matter."

The two talked and continued to walk down.

There are currently more than [-] weaving rooms in Tianzihao Park. Due to the large machine body of Dahualou, the weaving room is also wider than usual, and one room can accommodate three looms.

Jiang Fosang approached one of the weaving rooms, the windows were wide open, the room was well lit, and two weavers were busy in front of each loom.

If she only looked outside, the weavers could still pretend nothing had happened, but now that she was in front of her, they couldn't ignore it, and they all stood up and saluted.

"Nv Jun..." She didn't know what to say, she pinched the corner of her clothes with her hands, her yellow and thin face was full of embarrassment.

Jiang Fusang smiled, "You are busy with your own business, don't worry about me."

The two weavers returned to their respective positions after responding.As regular partners, one upstairs and one downstairs.

The so-called going up to a flower building is like a monkey climbing a tree, and going down a flower building is like an eagle catching a rabbit. The one who climbed the building is obviously very familiar with it, and his skills are agile and neat.After she sat down on the flower building, the loom started to move...

Hearing the sound of the warehouse, and the voice of Chen Xunniang answering the calamus, "The flower is to control the pattern, and the shuttle is to control the color——"

The weavers upstairs have to use precise force to pull out the correct part among more than 10,000 threads, while the weavers downstairs need to smoothly throw out the two-pound shuttle in the fine warp and weft silk threads according to the established order , is a delicate job, but also a physical job.

The cooperation between the upper and lower floors of the flower building is the biggest difficulty in operating the flower building machine, which generally requires a long-term running-in.

In Jiang Fusang's view, the two have a tacit understanding, but Chen Yunniang still thinks it is not enough.

"It needs more practice. When you don't need to see it, you can connect seamlessly with the sound alone, and you will be successful."

As he spoke, he walked to another loom and pointed out a few places; he was called over by the weaver woman next to the third loom, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

Chen Yunniang demonstrated it to them in person.

Although she was serious, she explained patiently and meticulously. The weavers surrounded her and listened very carefully.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Fosang raised the corners of his lips slightly.
