The five hundred and twentieth IX chapters open up the world (a)

Although there was no big publicity, and even Yan Liqiang did not deliberately want to create a big scene, the day the first wool spinning factory in the Han Empire was officially opened, the entire Pingxi County was still sensational. It could not even be said to be a sensation, but was ignited and exploded.

At noon on April 8, nearly 60 four-wheeled carriages carrying cargo from Huanglong County Manufacturing Bureau arrived in Yan'anbao like a snake. The first batch of carriages were the first batch of spinning machines used in wool spinning mills, weaving machines and tools for washing wool. From the moment these carriages drove into Yan'anbao, in the next two days, a steady stream of spinning machines, looms and other things were pulled from the manufacturing bureau to Yan'anbao, and then placed into the factory building built in Yan'anbao.

At this time, everything was ready, and Yan Liqiang no longer asked the Manufacturing Bureau and Yan'anbao to deliberately keep any secrets. Therefore, countless people saw the process of unloading the goods and putting them in the warehouse after they came to Yan'anbao.

Because the Yan family and the Lu family's acquisition of wool were too big, there were countless people in Pingxi County with a sensitive sense of smell and flexible mind staring at the movements in the Manufacturing Bureau and Yan'anbao. The news that a large number of mysterious tools and equipment were produced in the Manufacturing Bureau were transported to Yan'anbao. However, on the evening of April 8, almost all those who were interested in Pingxi County knew about it.

On April 9th, the news that Yan'anbao Yan's family recruited spinners in Yan'anbao and Qinghe County once again caused another sensation among the wealthy families or workshops in all directions. It is not uncommon, it is normal, but there are two shocking points. The first is that the number of spinners recruited in Yan'anbao this time was 680 female workers, over 16 years old and under 50 years old. As long as women from Qinghe County can spin and weave at home, they can try it. You must know that the largest weaving workshop in Pingxi County has been recruited so far, and the number of spinners recruited by the Yan family is less than 100. The workshop is in Huanglong County. The number of spinners recruited by the Yan family has been six or seven hundred at once. What size workshop is this?

What is even more confusing is that there are not many cotton and ramie grown in Qinghe County. I have never seen the Yan family get involved in the textile industry before. Why did the Yan family come so much this time?

In addition, the treatment of the textile workers given by the Yan family is also shocking. As long as the textile workers hired by the Yan family, the minimum monthly guarantee is four taels of silver, and four taels of silver per month. Not to mention Qinghe County, even in the entire Pingxi County, it is still very high monthly money. You should know that in other workshops, a skilled textile worker can get less than two taels of silver per month. It is good for an ordinary textile worker to get one tael of silver per month.

In this world, there are not many job opportunities that can make money for women. The criminal arrest in Qinghe County’s criminal arrest yamen can get a salary of less than three taels of silver in a month, which is enough to support the family. The job that can earn four taels of silver in this month is open and upright, and it is something that women can do, which is definitely the first in the world. If it weren’t for the Yan family of the famous Yan’anbao who posted the news, the person who heard the news almost thought that someone was joking.

But this is indeed not a joke, because just early in the morning of April 10, several officials and aunts of the Yan family had already set up a series of traffic in the square of Yan'anbao and began to recruit spinners openly. The recruitment points were black and white, and the list stated the requirements for recruiting spinners. At the same time, it also stated that the monthly salary after recruitment was 4 taels, and a lunch was in charge. You can rest for one day every seven days. In addition to the recruitment notice in black and white, there were more than ten spinning machines, more than ten looms, and piles of cotton were placed in the square. Women who wanted to apply for the job just showed their skills in public, just start with cleaning cotton, and then it was combing, rolling, combed, strips, roving, yarn, winding, twisting, yarn, shaking, bag, warping, sizing, woven, smudge, woven, putting on the machine, and weaving the whole process...

As long as you pass the skills, you can hire it on the spot, and the monthly money will start from tomorrow.

These weaving processes are definitely a matter of scratching the head for men, but for many women of this era, especially those living in rural areas, most of them live a life of men farming and weaving. Men take care of eating, women wear, weaving and other crafts. They have been influenced by them since childhood. Many people have spinning machines and looms at home, and there are too many people who know them.

At the beginning, because there were too many people watching in the square, and there were crowds of people around, and everyone was talking about it. Many women were embarrassed to go up and just watched from the side. In such a noisy occasion, they showed their skills, just like they were going to perform on stage, which was a challenge for many women.

In this way, the Butler Zhou, who was in charge of the recruitment, was very anxious. This was the job that Mr. Yan gave him. You should know that the Yan family is getting worse and worse than before. More and more people are relying on the Yan family to make a living. Many people under his commanders, servants and others have gradually emerged. As the butler, if he can't even do such a errand, how can he do anything in the Yan family? How can Mr. Yan think of him?

"Dear fellow villagers, the Yan family has already written all the treatments for recruiting textiles this time. In black and white, with the reputation of Mr. Yan and Mr. Yan, of course, I will not deceive everyone. If you are illiterate, I will read it to you again. As long as you are a good person, you can weave, have good skills and follow the arrangements, no matter who is the girl and wife, once you are hired, you will have lunch every day, and you will earn at least four taels of silver every month. If you perform well, you will be promoted to the head of the class and earn more. This is a 4 tael of white silver every month, except in our Yan'anbao

You can't find such a good job in the world with a lantern!" Butler Zhou, who had a tiny bead of sweat on his forehead, also held a big horn rolled up in his hand, and shouted at the people watching around the square, "The number of spinners we recruited this time is limited. If you get full, you won't get it. First come first served. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for life. Those men with wives and daughters at home, ask your women in your family to try it. Maybe your women will earn more money every month than you earn now..."
