A group of people huddled in a corner, discussing in whispers for a long time but still couldn't come to a conclusion.
They could only disperse and observe the textile looms individually, trying to remember more of its structure so that they could go back and find some skilled craftsmen to learn and copy it secretly.
Soon, most of them had seen enough and continued to move to the next process in groups.
After the finished fabric is produced, the cutting area comes next.
At this moment, the cutting area is furnished with an exaggeratedly long row of tables.
The women who were delivering the cloth distributed the cloth one by one along the long table.
The female workers who got the cloth started cutting it immediately.
But they are only responsible for cutting the cloth into fixed shapes, and then stacking it neatly into a pile without even giving it a second look.
When the cloth pile is high enough, the female workers in charge of transportation will transport the cut cloth to the next process.
The businessmen standing around the long table began to whisper again.
"Brother Liu, have you ever seen this? Why is it just cutting and not sewing?"
"I haven't seen it. It looks like it should wait until the next stage to sew it."
"I didn't expect there was such a way to make clothes! How fast can the female worker cut the cloth? How much cloth can she cut in a day?"
After exclaiming in amazement, the merchants quickly moved on to the next process with the female workers who were transporting and cutting the cloth.
We soon arrived at the sewing area, where most of the female workers in the factory were working, sewing clothes.
This section has the largest number of female workers, with hundreds of tables placed in the sewing area.
The sewing worker's table is different from others. It is very spacious and has pre-drawn partitions on it.
I saw the female workers who were delivering the cloth carefully placing the cut cloth according to the areas.
The seamstress grabbed the cloth and started sewing without even looking up.
It didn't take long before a brand new piece of clothing came out and was thrown into the box at my feet.
The businessmen couldn't help but gasp when they saw this.
Someone exclaimed: "I see! This is to separate the steps of making clothes. Each person is only responsible for one step."
"That way they will be skilled enough! The products they produce will have stable quality and high efficiency!"
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
"I didn't expect there is such a production method in the world. In my opinion, this method can be learned by each of us. It is even more important than a textile machine!"
The other businessmen all nodded in admiration.
However, these businessmen obviously did not observe carefully.
There are actually some "flaws" in the sewing area.
Among all the steps, the slowest is the sewing area, which greatly slows down the production of the entire assembly line.
Since there are no sewing machines, sewing can only be done by hand, so the most manpower is deployed here.
Fang Zhengyi certainly thought about finding someone to make auxiliary equipment such as sewing machines.
But unfortunately, although he had seen a foot-operated sewing machine, he only had a vague understanding of the principles behind it.
Let Lao Qi, a craftsman from Taoyuan County, give it a try.
Lao Qi also made several prototypes in succession, but problems would immediately appear when they were actually tested.
Although the structure of textile machines is complex, they have a traceable history, which is why new ideas can be introduced one after another.
However, the structure of the sewing machine was more complicated and there was no precedent, so Fang Zhengyi put the exploration in this area on hold.
So now the female workers seem to be sewing very quickly, and they can keep up with the progress of the textile area and the cutting area.
In fact, the sewing effect is a bit shoddy.
In order to hurry, the stitching is not beautiful and tight enough.
But the finished garments are comfortable enough to wear, but they tend to break and tear easily.
Some female workers have raised this issue, and Fang Zhengyi has also considered this issue carefully. In order to ensure sufficient supply in the market, he decided to let them maintain the status quo.
Fang Zhengyi even considered selling the cut fabrics directly to people so that they could sew them themselves at home.
But if you think about it carefully, it would be better for people to buy ready-made cloth and cut it themselves at home. It's just a waste of time.
Poor sewing is actually just a minor problem because the quality of the fabric can be guaranteed!
As for needlework, it has never been a problem. In this era, almost every woman in every household knows how to sew.
As long as the sewn seams are cracked or broken, people can just mend them themselves.
This is better than not having enough clothes to wear in winter.
After the merchants finished their tour, they began to walk out of the textile factory one by one.
There was an open space outside with dozens of chairs already placed there in advance. Fang Zhengyi was standing at the front with his hands on the awning, looking into the interior of the textile factory.
The businessmen began to gather around Fang Zhengyi one by one.
But no one did anything. Some people looked at Fang Zheng with hope.
Some people gathered in pairs to discuss in a low voice.
Others bowed their heads in deep thought.
Seeing that everyone was present, Fang Zheng put down his hand and said, "Everyone, you should have finished your tour, how do you feel?"
"It's worth the trip! It's worth the trip!"
"Thank you, Master Fang!"
"Master Fang is so righteous!"
Fang Zheng smiled and pressed his hand: "Sit down, everyone should be tired, sit down and talk."
The merchants were very obedient and began to take their seats.
It's true that I've been walking for so long and have been so excited for so long, and I'm a little tired after all this time.
The next part should be the highlight! I wonder what Master Fang is planning!
Even if he didn't sell textile machines today, he would still make a fortune! This new way of division of labor and cooperation alone is enough to open everyone's eyes.
By going back and imitating, we can quickly improve production efficiency and reduce costs, which is almost like pie in the sky!
Everyone stared at Fang Zhengyi with enthusiastic eyes, as if they were looking at the God of Wealth.
