Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 126 Qin Xiedao's Crazy Idea
Chinese New Year is coming soon.

However, the Qinji Wool Workshop is still busy.

Ma Zhou and Xie Linmao were basically busy in the workshop or shop during this time.

Even Qin Xiedao, who always liked to be lazy, was busy in the workshop other than going to Xuanwumen to sign in every day.

During this period of time, the sales of woolen yarn were very hot.

Although more than half of them may have been bought by other people with ulterior motives, for the Qin family, these wool threads were finally sold.

Now what needs to be considered in the workshop is to continuously speed up production, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs.

For this reason, Qin Ji Wool Workshop has also set up its own team of craftsmen.

The main tasks of these people are two points. On the one hand, under Hou Bao's leadership, they study various chemical substances and chemical reactions to see how to continuously improve the efficiency of wool cleaning and reduce the cost of wool cleaning.

On the other hand, under the personal guidance of Qin Xiedao, a group of carpenters and blacksmiths were hired to produce various mechanical equipment there.

It is with the assistance of these mechanical equipment that the production efficiency of Qinji wool line can be continuously improved.

"Lang Jun, based on our current cost situation, the price of two cents per catty can basically maintain no loss.

However, the cost of purchasing wool may increase in the future. If the production efficiency of wool thread cannot be further improved, then we may lose money. "

Ma Zhou took a ledger and sorted out the situation of Qinji Wool Workshop completely.

But the result is not very optimistic.

"At least half of our wool yarn has been bought back and hoarded by people. Just wait for us to raise the price so that they can make a fortune along with it."

Xie Linmao said angrily.

Those people who buy woolen yarn by horse-drawn cart by cart can know which house they belong to after a little inquiring.

It stands to reason that it is not a big deal for a family to buy a carriage of woolen yarn.

But if you buy one carriage after another, something must be wrong.

"When will the new textile machine be officially put into use?"

Qin Xiedao said calmly.

For him, some people want to see his jokes, and some people want to take advantage of this opportunity to step on his feet, which is really normal.

I am not Kaiyuan Tongbao, it is impossible for everyone to like me.

"Mr. Lang, a prototype of this new type of textile machine has been produced. After the Chinese New Year, the first batch of fifty machines will be put into use first. By then, our cost of processing wool yarn should be reduced by [-]%."

Ma Zhou was very familiar with the situation in the workshop, and he kept an eye on the projects that Qin Xiedao was concerned about every day.

Under the heavy reward, these craftsmen work very hard.

Even at night, there are people working non-stop under the light of the faint briquette stove.

Anyway, for many craftsmen, sleeping directly in the workshop when tired is actually more comfortable than sleeping at home.

There are plenty of briquette stoves here, so craftsmen don't have to worry about being frozen when they work.

Spread out the bedding casually, and find a wooden board to sleep on the spot, which is warmer than at home.

The most important thing is that for this kind of craftsman who is so busy working in the workshop that he doesn't even have time to go home, the workshop is in charge of food.

And get full.

For many craftsmen, this is also very motivating.

With this idea, a craftsman's wages a day is actually less than ten Wen.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to support a family, basically more than half of it is spent on food and drink.

If this can leave a strong laborer to eat, it can be regarded as saving a lot of expenses.

"We have also made some improvements in the cleaning agents for wool threads. Now the output has increased a lot, and the cost has also been reduced a lot.

Basically, the actual production cost of wool thread can be reduced by [-]% after a few days. "

At this time, Hou Bao finally had the confidence to come out and brush up his sense of existence.

During this period of time, his life was very nourishing.

No matter what research materials he needs, Qin Xiedao is very supportive and arranges for people to purchase them.

Coupled with some fresh theories emerging from Qin Xiedao, Hou Bao's understanding of chemistry has changed qualitatively during this period.

Naturally, the research and production of several medicines ordered by Qin Xiedao have also made very good progress.

"That's good. If those people don't stop, after the Chinese New Year, we will directly reduce the price of wool yarn to one penny per catty, and see what they do."

Qin Xiedao naturally didn't like those honorable and wealthy businessmen who wanted to see his jokes and take advantage of them.

Anyway, he is currently embracing Li Shimin's thigh with all his heart. The more rigid his relationship with the family becomes, the more stable his life will be in the next 20 years.

"Lang Jun, one penny per catty may not be necessary. As long as we can maintain the price of two pennies per catty, it will be enough to make those people feel uncomfortable."

Ma Zhou stepped forward to stop Qin Xiedao's crazy idea.

One penny per catty, this is really too exaggerated.

Sometimes when selling things, the cheaper the better, the better.

If the Qin family really sells wool thread like this, it is estimated that all other cloth shops in Chang'an City will stand on the opposite side of the Qin family.

Those farmers who grow hemp will not be able to survive.

The influence behind it is not so simple.

Ma Zhou felt that there was absolutely no need to do such a thankless task.

"Lang Jun, there is a man outside who claims to be the shopkeeper of Wang Ji Wool Clothes Shop and wants to see you."

Before Qin Xiedao had a good discussion with Ma Zhou about the price of wool yarn after the new year, the guards of the workshop came in and reported a rather unexpected news.

"The shopkeeper of Wangji woolen clothes shop?"

Qin Xiedao searched quickly in his mind, but couldn't think of such a number one person.

However, just hearing the word woolen sweater, he was ready to meet the other party.

"Let him in."

Soon, Wang Changtu appeared in front of Qin Xiedao and others.

Although Wang Jiang said before that he wanted to go out for a run by himself, but after hearing Wang Jiang's specific thoughts, Wang Changtu decided that his employer should come to Qinji Wool Workshop to visit first.

"Meet Lord Qin Lang!"

"I don't know what the shopkeeper Wang is looking for?"

After exchanging a few simple greetings, Qin Xiedao didn't waste any more time with Wang Changtu, and went directly to the topic.

"Qin Langjun, my workshop is for the production of woolen garments. I came here today to discuss two things with you. These two things are beneficial to Qinji Wool Workshop."

Wang Changtu took a deep breath, feeling that success or failure could be determined in one fell swoop.
