Chapter 545

Although there was no big publicity, and even Yan Liqiang didn't want to make a big scene, on the day when the first wool mill of the Han Empire officially opened, the whole Pingxi county was still a sensation, not even a sensation, but a fire and explosion.

At noon on April 8, more than 60 freight wagons from Huanglong County manufacturing Bureau arrived at Yan'an fort like a long snake. The first batch of wagons pulled the first batch of spinning machines, looms and wool washing tools used by wool mills. From the moment these wagons drove into Yan'an fort, there were a steady stream of spinning machines in the next two days, Weaving machines and other things were pulled from the manufacturing bureau to yan'anbao, and then put into the factory built in yan'anbao.

By this time, everything was ready. Yan Liqiang no longer asked the manufacturing Bureau and yan'anbao to deliberately keep any secrets. Therefore, countless people saw the process of unloading and warehousing the cars from the manufacturing Bureau or after they came to yan'anbao.

Because the purchase of wool by the Yan Family and the Lu family caused too much trouble, there have long been countless people with sensitive sense of smell and flexible head in Pingxi County staring at the manufacturing Bureau and the movement in Yan'an fort. The news that a large number of mysterious tools and instruments are produced in the manufacturing Bureau and transported to Yan'an fort is almost known by all interested people in Pingxi County on the evening of April 8.

Then on April 9, the news that the Yan Family in yan'anbao recruited textile workers in yan'anbao and Qinghe County once again caused a sensation everywhere - for those large families or workshops, the recruitment of textile workers is not uncommon, it is normal, but there are two shocking points. First, the number of textile workers recruited in yan'anbao this time, a total of 680 women workers, aged over 16 years old, Any woman under the age of 50 who can spin and weave at home in Qinghe County can have a try. You know, the largest weaving workshop in Pingxi county has recruited less than 100 spinners. The workshop is in Huanglong county. The number of spinners recruited by the Yan family is 600 or 700 at once. How big a workshop is it?

What makes people more confused is that there are not many cotton and ramie planted in Qinghe County. I haven't seen the Yan family involved in the textile industry before. Why is it so big this time?

In addition, the treatment given by the Yan family to the spinners also surprised people. As long as the spinners employed by the Yan family are guaranteed to pay four Liang silver a month at the end of a month, four Liang silver a month, not to mention Qinghe County, even in Pingxi County, it is a very high monthly money. You know, in other workshops, A skilled spinner can get less than two liang of silver a month. It's good for an ordinary spinner to get one or two liang of silver a month. In this world, there are not many job opportunities for women to earn money. The salary of criminal arrest in Qinghe County criminal arrest yamen is less than three Liang of silver a month, which is enough to support a family, It's a job that can earn four Liang silver this month. It's aboveboard and women can do it. It's definitely the first job in the world. If it's not the Yan Family of the famous Yan'an Fort who released the news, people who hear the news almost think it's someone joking.

But this is not a joke, because on the early morning of April 10, several managers and aunts of the Yan family had a battle in the square of yan'anbao and began to recruit textile workers openly. The recruitment points were written in black and white, and the list stated the requirements for the recruitment of textile workers. At the same time, it also stated the treatment after the recruitment - four Liang a month for a lunch, You can take a day off every seven days. In addition to the recruitment notice in black and white, there are more than ten spinning machines, more than ten looms and piles of cotton in the square. If you want to apply for a job, just show your skills in public - starting with cotton cleaning, then carding, winding, combing, drawing, roving and spinning, The whole process of winding, twisting, shaking, wrapping, warping, sizing, healding, weaving and weaving

As long as the craft is qualified, you can hire on the spot, and the monthly money will be counted from tomorrow.

These weaving processes are definitely scratching their heads for men, but for many women in this era, especially those living in rural areas, most people live a life of men farming and women weaving. Men manage to eat, women manage to wear, weaving and other skills. They have been influenced since childhood. Many families have spinning machines and looms, and there are too many people who can.

At the beginning, because there were too many onlookers in the square and there were people all around. Everyone talked about it one after another. Many women were embarrassed to go up and just watched. In this noisy occasion, it was like going to perform on the stage. It was a challenge for many women.

In this way, housekeeper Zhou, who is in charge of the recruitment, is worried. This is the job entrusted to him by childe Yan. You know, the Yan family is becoming more and more different now, and more and more people rely on the Yan family to eat. Many of his managers and servants have emerged slowly. As a housekeeper, he can't even do such a little job well, How can he get along in Yan's family? What do you think of him, young master Yan.

"Fellow villagers, all the benefits of the Yan Family's recruitment of textile workers have been written in black and white. With the reputation of master Yan and son Yan, of course, I won't deceive you. If you can't read it again, as long as you can spin, have good skills and listen to the arrangement, and no matter who's daughter-in-law, once hired, you will wrap a lunch every day, At least four liang of silver a month. If you perform well and are promoted to the head of the class, you will earn more. This is four liang of white silver a month. You can't find such a good job in the world with lanterns except in Yan'an castle! " Housekeeper Zhou, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, also held a big horn rolled with iron sheet in his hand and shouted at the onlookers around the square, "there is a limit on the number of spinners we recruit this time. If we recruit them, we won't recruit them. We'll get them first come, first served. If we miss this opportunity, we'll regret it all our life. Those men who have women and daughters at home, Ask the women in your family to try. In the future, maybe your women earn more money every month than you do now“

"Housekeeper Zhou, what you said is true. Four Liang silver a month. I heard the news yesterday. I met master Yan and childe Yan, too. Last time I went to the Yan family to help cook. If you are careless here, be careful that I will sue you at childe Yan!" Finally, after housekeeper Zhou finished, among the crowd of onlookers, there was finally a woman in a big red dress, who was a little fat, in her thirties and looked a little naughty, squeezed out of the crowd and said loudly. Housekeeper Zhou saw that this woman is Wang Chengcheng's daughter-in-law. Although Wang Chengcheng is honest, his daughter-in-law is a fierce woman in the town. She is capable and runs a family. It is said that she is still a skillful hand. She spins cloth well and Embroiders flowers well. Wang Chengcheng's two little daughters wear red and willow green all day. They are all the skills of this woman“ When you get the money, you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not! " Housekeeper Zhou said“ OK, I'll try it. I can spin cloth in public. I can spin it with my eyes closed. What's wrong... "Wang Chengcheng's daughter-in-law came over and began to show her skills quickly from cotton cleaning under the eyes of a group of people. As a result, needless to say, Wang Chengcheng's daughter-in-law, with her excellent skills, suddenly became the first successful candidate of the day. With this example, the big girls and little daughters-in-law who were watching around the square were no longer nervous. Many people were in the mood of trying. The second, third and fourth people came out one after another and began to show their abilities. Of course, those who dare to come up at this time are capable, so one or two are recruited one after another. At the back, the square is more and more lively, and more and more women come to try. In the afternoon, those women who come from all over the country want to try, This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
