I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 98, Visiting the Textile Factory
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "Wool can't be wasted like this. These Hu merchants finally transported the wool here. If we don't accept it, it will discourage their enthusiasm. Even if we want to drown them in the future, we may not have the motivation. Think The method is to vacate several warehouses and continue to buy the wool in the hands of Hu merchants. Even if we start Mayi women's sweaters, we can't give up the wool. At worst, it will be spun into yarn and stored in advance. And it's not that we don't have enough looms, we continue to Calling everyone to make sweaters is like storing sweaters for this winter in advance."

Old man Wang is right when he thinks about it. Now that he prepares woolen clothes, he can earn hundreds of dollars in winter, and the wool in the hands of the Hu people is worth hundreds of millions at most, but they will only return the money if they transfer it to their hands. Mayi's.

Xu Wei thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the textile factory to find a way to see if I can increase their spinning speed!"

When Xu Wei came to the textile factory, he was soon discovered by Xu Juan, the manager of the textile factory. She was pleasantly surprised: "Shuai Qu, why did you come to our textile factory!"

Xu Wei said: "Old man Wang said that the textile factory can no longer handle the wool that came to Mayi, so I came to see if there is anything that can be improved. Drinking and eating meat depends on the ability of your textile factory."

Xu Juan complained: "Shuai Qu, you should have come earlier. I have been urging the wood factory to make more looms, but they are always slow and not at all comfortable! If they make more Some looms come over, and we won't have to pile up the wool in the warehouse!"

In the past, the slow spinning speed dragged down the speed of weaving, but since the introduction of the hydraulic loom, the spinning speed has increased hundreds of times, spinning is no longer a drag, but the speed of weaving is even worse than spinning The speed is increased, and it is very simple to increase the speed of weaving, that is, to manufacture more looms.

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Take me to see the weaving place, maybe I can improve the loom, so you don't have to worry about the lack of looms."

A factory building like a giant palace soon appeared in front of Xu Wei, with an area of ​​several hundred square meters. It was manufactured by Xu Wei according to the modern style, using cement pillars as load-bearing beams. But it is not difficult, on the contrary, it saves more bricks and reduces costs, and Xu Wei built such a huge factory building for large-scale industrial production.

Xu Juan first brought Xu Wei to the wool-washing workshop, and a huge sheep smell rushed towards Xu Wei, making him out of breath for a long time.

Xu Juan smiled and said, "After hearing it for a long time, I no longer feel it."

It took Xu Wei a long time to get used to it and said: "I should get you some masks. A mask is a piece of cloth covering your mouth and nose and hanging on your ears with a rope! This protects the body. If wool is sucked into the body, it will make people sick. Although you can't see it for a short time Come out, but after a few years your body will break down!"

Xu Wei doesn't know whether inhaling wool into the lungs will cause lung disease, but it's always good to be prepared.

Xu Juan was surprised: "Wool can cause diseases?"

Xu Wei said: "Wearing a mask is to prevent this disease!"

Xu Juan immediately said: "I will make all the workers wear masks!"

The most indispensable thing in their textile factory is cloth, and the manufacture of this mask is also very simple.

The workers here are all men, and when they saw Xu Wei, they also looked surprised and said: "Shuai Qu!"

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Hello everyone! Wool cloth will be our main product in the future. Everyone should work hard. It's up to you whether we can make money!"

The workers laughed and said, "Don't worry Shuai Qu, we will not embarrass the Tengjia Army!"

Then everyone worked separately. They threw the bales of wool into the sliver washing pool, and then washed the sliver to remove the grease from the wool. Then they took out the wool, dried it, and brushed the wool into hair with an iron brush. Just as supple!Everyone works very hard.

Xu Juan said: "Although strip-washed wool can still increase production, because we can't spin it, we can only control the quantity of strip-washed wool."

Xu Wei just watched, there was nothing that could be improved in the washing process.

Then Xu Juan brought Xu Wei to the water conservancy spinning machine. The spinning factory building is the longest factory building in Mayi with a length of more than one mile. Six giant waterwheels are driven by the water of the Sanggan River, and the rotation of the waterwheels drives the movement of the entire factory. The spinning car and the whole workshop are filled with the sound of running water and spinning spindles.

Xu Juan looked at this scene with excitement, even though he had watched it countless times, every time she watched it again, she was already so excited, the spinning speed was so fast, it was like a dream.

"There are 1200 spindles here, which can not only satisfy thousands of looms, but also have a lot of surplus. I have calculated that it takes three thousand looms to keep up with these spinning speeds. Now it is too wasteful. Two-thirds of the spindles are making crude wool, but now that the weather is hot, sweaters will have to wait half a year before they can be sold."

For Xu Juan, this would require a huge backlog of funds, and it would be difficult to see profits, which would be very unfavorable for the new textile factories. In Mayi, all industries are prosperous, and basically there are no factories that lose money. She doesn't want to be the first!
Xu Wei understood his thoughts and said with a smile: "In this way, I will let Uncle Wang give you the wool you spun according to the market price, so that you don't have to worry about losing money. Now you don't have to worry about not having enough wool by hoarding a little wool and waiting for winter. "

In the north, the river water freezes for 3-4 months a year, and the hydraulic spinning machine cannot be used. However, winter is the best time for sweaters, so it is safe to prepare a little bit in advance.

In fact, in northern Xinjiang, people basically don’t go out in winter. There are things like knitting, which not only have an income, but also are not too boring, which is a good thing for ordinary people.

Xu Juan said happily, "Thank you Qu Shuai!"

The price of wool is naturally not as good as that of sweaters and wool cloth, but it is not impossible to deal with it now. Even if the profit is low, it is better than overstocked goods.

Soon the two came to the largest factory building of the textile factory, which was also the core department, the textile factory building, where thousands of spinning wheels were humming at the same time.

Thousands of Han women and Hu women sat in front of the looms and weaved non-stop. They could weave a lot of cloth in a short time.

This surprised Xu Wei very much. It's not that Xu Wei is hypocritical, but that he has a very high reputation in Mayi. It is very rare to ignore him like this!
　Is the steam loom a high-tech industry? I can’t believe I couldn’t find a picture on the Internet. I only saw a steam loom, so I don’t even know what the original water conservancy loom and steam loom are. Looks like, who knows the picture can help post one?
