In the textile factory, Fang Zhengyi led Li Yuanzhao to inspect everywhere.
He felt relieved to hand over the Liu Xun case to Xie Xian, as Xie Xian was one of the few highly educated talents in the county and was good at both business and robbery.
Except for his weak personal fighting ability, he is the best choice both in theory and in actual combat.
My most important task at the moment is the textile factory.
The construction of the textile factory was certainly partly due to the princess.
But the more important purpose was to provide warm winter clothing for the people in Beijing and to promote new textile machines.
The capital city is the core of Dajing's economy and politics. Once new creations emerge from here and can reap huge profits, they will soon spread throughout the world.
For Fang Zhengyi, love between young people is beautiful, but people should always have some ideals and ambitions.
Now that I have left Taoyuan County and shouldered greater responsibilities, I must leave something good for this world.
At this time, the textile factory was nearing completion, and even the female workers had already been recruited and were just waiting to be notified to start work.
What is lacking now are just some simple facilities and basic furnishings for the female workers' dormitories.
The main body of the factory covers a large area and is basically designed in the manner of an assembly line.
First the yarn is spun, and then each part is stitched down step by step according to the processing steps.
As for the clothing produced, the sizes are generally larger.
Ordinary people in Dajing usually don't buy clothes that fit them exactly, they usually buy larger ones that are more comfortable to wear.
One is to make work more comfortable, and the other is to make it easier to pass on to the next generation.
If your child is older than you, you can pick up the clothes from the previous generation and continue to wear them. But if he is smaller, it will be a lot of trouble.
This is similar to the early black rap singers.
They were all poor children who could only wear their relatives' oversized clothes.
Of course, they also have a big gold chain with a density less than water to cover up their unfortunate childhood....
In order to improve production efficiency, the textile factory also built dormitories.
After all, it is located outside the city, and it is extremely inconvenient and time-consuming to go back and forth. It is a necessary facility to increase production efficiency.
The female workers' dormitory accommodates eight people in a room and is fully equipped with tables, chairs and benches. It looks similar to a university dormitory.
That’s not the case. After all, the dormitory looks a lot bigger than a university dormitory.
There is also a special place outside the house for hanging clothes, as well as some special areas for leisure activities.
There are wells between the dormitory groups for convenient water collection, and the canteen is not far away.
The canteen is free and provides dedicated childcare facilities.
If conditions permit, we may also find some teachers to teach our children in the future.
It’s not that Fang Zheng was as considerate as he thought, it’s just that women nowadays generally have children at a younger age.
It is common to have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
The age limit for recruiting female workers is fifteen years old. Most women have children, and the men go out to work before dawn, leaving no one to take care of the children.
If childcare facilities are not set up, there is a high probability that workers will not be recruited.
The remaining parts are the raw material warehouse and the finished product warehouse.
For this part, male workers are arranged to be responsible for transportation...after all, women are far from being able to do physical work.
After watching the whole thing, Fang Zhengyi felt that there was nothing wrong, so he turned to Li Yuanzhao and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think of the construction of our textile factory?"
Li Yuanzhao nodded and asked, "It's good, but a little too good."
"Oh... compared to this, I feel that the dog our reporter used to live with is not as good as it..."
How can you pay a dog a salary?
Fang Zheng curled his lips and said, "It's already difficult to recruit female workers. If the repairs are any worse, who would be willing to come here to work?"
"Although this part costs a bit more, female workers are cheaper!"
"If we hire male workers, it will cost two cents a month. What about female workers? One and a half cents! That's a quarter of a cent saved! And the work they do is not even better than that of carpenters?"
After hearing this, Li Yuanzhao's expression was solemn: "Women can save money so much, so why don't newspapers use female reporters?"
"Aren't female reporters uneducated? Who doesn't like female reporters?"
Fang Zhengyi vaguely remembered that he had a girlfriend or wife in his previous life? She was a female reporter, and her name seemed to be Bingbing.
"Besides, which literate lady would be willing to show up in public every day?"
Li Yuanzhao looked a little regretful: "That's a pity."
Fang Zhengyi sighed, "Yes, our newspaper office doesn't have uniforms yet. We should order a set from the textile factory this time."
"What uniform?"
"No big deal. When our textile factory is built, we will not only sell clothing fabrics, but also textile machines!"
"Hmm? The same looms as in Jianjiang?"
"right!"
Li Yuanzhao asked in confusion: "Old Fang, I can understand that we need to recruit people urgently when we build Jiang, but there is no need for this in the capital."
"If we sell the textile machines to them, won't we make less money? Wouldn't it be better if we keep the machines for ourselves?"
Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "Your Highness, I can understand others thinking this way, but I cannot understand you thinking this way."
"You are the crown prince of the country. You should not care about the petty gains of the moment. The promotion of new textile machines will benefit the country and the people."
“This is actually good for us.”
"Once the new textile machines are popularized throughout the country, the price of clothing will drop rapidly, and people will naturally be willing to buy clothes when the price drops. In this way, all the production links before clothing will increase accordingly, and everyone will benefit from it. This is win-win cooperation."
Li Yuanzhao said with a smile: "I understand this principle. When I first went to Taoyuan County, you told me this when the bookstalls in the county sold books and used vernacular to count the words. I later told my father about it, and he said you were just being eloquent!"
