Ayan went to Chongxianfang alone. The streets of Chang'an City were extremely wide and seemed particularly small in power. Walking alone on a street, it was like an ant.

From time to time, there were flocks of young girls riding the swallows and whizzing by, lightly like birds, and some people were driving carriages and ox carriages on the street, calmly rushing, and some people were walking on both legs like Yan, either carrying a load or empty hands.

The scorching sun shines on the earth, scorching these slowly walking passers-by...

"...Then you come to work tomorrow and the next day. If you live far away, there will be a workhouse here, just bring the bedding over."

When the intriguing manager said this to her, A Yan quickly responded, but he was confused. No matter how hard he couldn't figure it out, why did he really get hired?

When I got home and talked about this with my brother and sister-in-law, everyone was happy for her. She finally found a little real feeling. She was still nervous. She always felt that she was not such a lucky person. Such good luck would not last long. Maybe in two days the machine shop would not want her again, so she didn't dare to be too happy.

The next day, my grandmother cooked her early. The brother took the donkey cart to the yard and said that he would take her to the Machine House to report later.

Looking back at the time when I was not married before, my mother and brother treated her well. However, since she was retired by her husband's family, she rarely felt this kind of warmth, but she didn't know who to blame, so she simply stopped thinking about it and just lived numbly every day.

After breakfast, my brother took her bag to the car and asked her to take her to the car as well, leading the donkey in front of her.

The two of them left their yard gate, walked out of the yard gate, walked to the street, walked all the way to Chongxianfang, and arrived at the Machine House.

A Yan and the others were not the earliest. Many people came earlier than them. Some came by themselves, and some were sent by their families. A large yard was bustling and lively.

Ayan went to the manager to report to the office, got the work license plate, and learned that her dormitory was located. Her brother helped her carry her luggage to the dormitory, and looked around. The environment was still good, much better than their home, the place was spacious, and there was also a canteen and bathhouse. I heard that there were three meals available every day and hot water was constant.

"You can work here with peace of mind, don't argue with others, and ask someone to go back and say something," Ayan's brother reminded.

"Hey, go there." Ayan said, and got up to send her brother out.

In the blink of an eye, more and more people were in the machine shop. A Yan soon discovered that among the people coming and going, most of them were women, and the number of men was probably less than one-third.

Most of these women look rough and are rarely seen.

"What's your name?"

"My name is A Yan, where are you?"

"My name is Zhu'er."

"Zhu'er, how old are you?"

"It's nineteen."

"Can you get married?"

"I got married earlier. My husband thought I was ugly and retired, so he helped me with the business at home."

"What business is your family doing?"

“It’s selling vegetables.”

"But it's okay?"

"The business is not good, and there are many younger siblings in the family. Sometimes I go out to pound rice with others and earn some money and grain to supplement the family's income."

"A Yan, which workshop do you live in?"

"My home is in Chang'anfang."

"It's so good that my family will be in Hepingfang. When the time comes, we will go back together."

"My home is far away, in Fengyifang."

"Huh? I'm in Fengyifang too"

"really?"

"Of course, my family is in Fengyifang..."

“…”

There were ten beds in that large dormitory, originally only two or three people, but there were more and more people coming from behind, and there were seven or eight. I heard that these beds may not be full now. In the future, their machine workshop will have to select some good seedlings from other places.

The women in the same room were talking and found that they were of similar origins, and some of them were very miserable.

I think so, after all, they came here to work. If they couldn't endure hardship, the Machine House would not want them.

At 10 noon, I suddenly heard a bell ringing, and many people couldn't figure out what the bell was for. Then in the aisle outside, I heard someone shouting, "Let's go, this is calling us to have a meal."

"really?"

"Just just arrived, I'm going to have a meal?"

“It’s not done yet.”

"Go and have a look."

A Yan and the others left the house with doubts, and soon merged into the crowd, heading towards the direction where the bell sounded.

Before we arrived at the place, we smelled the aroma of the meal first, so the ladies were all happy, and their pace also accelerated a little...

Luo Yong is here today. His plan for this machine workshop is semi-working workshop and semi-teaching nature. The teaching objectives are mainly women. Men only choose the most outstanding ones for training, or hire some very skilled craftsmen to work and teach.

“…Is there all the people?”

"It's all."

"Do a division in the afternoon, then gather everyone together and say a few words, and let's start tomorrow."

"Here."

"Hengzhi is now working in engineering, so he can't get through during the day. If he has time to go back here to take a look and give some advice."

“…”

While talking, several ox carts came outside the yard, which were delivered from the north and south groceries. It was found that the car was loaded with food.

The machine shop has recruited so many people. Just three meals a day is a considerable expense. Before the machine shop can make a profit, the food, cloth and other materials are mainly for credit from groceries in the north and south, and then repaid after making a profit.

The location of this machine shop is very good. It is located in Chongxian shop on the east side of Chang'an County, and the area is very large.

In order to buy this courtyard, the Luo family not only used some connections, but also invested a lot of money in it. Among them, the aunt, the second and the fourth nun, each gave some, and finally named the machine shop Luo Family Machinery Floor.

The aunt and the fourth lady are now operating business in Chang'an City, and she can use a lot of funds. The second lady has been developing in Hexi for many years. This time she came to Chang'an City, compared with the other two sisters, she seemed a little tight on her hands.

In order to get funds, Erniang asked someone to move most of the inventory of the cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City to Chang'an City. She held an off-season promotion for groceries in North and South. The price of a cashmere sweater was only 50% or 60% of the previous one.

The discount is really gratifying. Even if it is midsummer, it will not prevent the people of Chang'an from rushing to buy it. Hundreds of cars of cashmere products were sold out in less than a month. If you say that the purchasing power of the people of Chang'an is also very considerable.

"You are willing to sell." The old lady felt a pity for her when she saw such a low discount.

That high-quality cashmere sweater, in the Chang'an city, may not be able to buy a sweet one. Now, Erniang sold it in less than 200 cents, and she moved most of the Liangzhou warehouses and spread it on the second floor shelves of the north and south groceries for people to choose from.

"What can I do if I'm reluctant to let go? Isn't this money?" Erniang smiled and said, "If I sell it at 20% off, I can't sell it for a long time and can't make up the money, it will be a waste of money."

"I heard that Guo Xiaoke is building roads in Hexi will have an impact on your business?" the aunt asked her.

"More or less, there must be some impact." After the entire wooden track on Longyou Road was laid, not to mention anything else, the cashmere white stacked flowers that were originally blocked in Longxi could definitely be transported out in large quantities.

This is definitely a good thing for Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop in Changle County, but it may not be necessary for the workshop in Liangzhou City. At that time, the cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City will definitely be more or less affected. So she now clears the store for the Liangzhou workshop. Even if the price is lower, it will not be a pity.

Besides, although cashmere products are good, Erniang now values ​​the white cloth market.

Luo Erniang has been in Hexi for a lot of dealing with Hu Shang. She has even been to places like Yiwu in Gaochang. The impression given by those outsiders on the pass is that they are not good at textiles.

People outside the pass and the Central Plains traded not only the expensive silk, but also the ordinary linen also had a market, but the journey was long and the freight was high. The caravans mainly transported some expensive goods and traded with the upper classes of various countries.

But in Luo Erniang's opinion, the ordinary fabric produced in the Central Plains should have a very marketable market in those foreign countries. I heard that some big cannibals did not go through the Western Regions business road, but took the sea route, drove a big ship from the big cannibals, and entered the port from Lingnan. Many Kunlun people in Chang'an City were transported from the sea route.

At this time, the climate was humid and vegetation was lush. There were many lakes, rivers and rivers in the Central Plains. The shipping area was also very developed. There was a saying that eight waters surround Chang'an.

Shipping can save transportation costs to a large extent. As a businessman, Erniang naturally knows this very well.

Engineering is now studying how to use thermal energy to spin and weave cloth. Erniang has always been very confident in Luo Yong and is confident in his statement.

The addition of heat energy can really be used in textiles. Then they will put these cloths on a big bed and transport them to Fanbang... This is a big deal. Erniang can't imagine how much money can earn.

Outside the house, everyone who had lunch had been gathered, someone was responsible for dividing them, and the teacher started to speak.

Inside the room, the second lady suddenly said to the aunt:

"Sister, I always hear people talk about the new textile technology recently. No one mentions the four words "clothing and quilting world". But many people have forgotten that the "world" refers not only to the Central Plains, nor the Tang Dynasty..."

When Si Niang, who was standing beside him, suddenly turned her head to look at Er Niang, her young face was full of surprise.
