For the next three days, Qiao Xin and a few of his confidants stayed in the newly built cotton mill.
Nanny and others watched with their own eyes as Qiao Xin spun out Dajing’s first cotton spinning bobbin.
Made the first quilt of Dajing.
The first piece of cotton cloth of Dajing was woven.
The newly appointed manager of the cotton spinning group is one of the three female managers appointed by Qiao Xin a few days ago.
Before the incident, the other party was in charge of a large silk weaving workshop for the master. He had 30 to 50 people under him and was familiar with the processes of weaving and dyeing.
He originally thought that he could be valued in the Qiao family based on his abilities, and even if he became a criminal slave, he was not going to sell out his ancestral craft easily.
But after watching Qiao Xin for several days in a row, she found that her mind was quick and her ability to accept new things was strong. Often, once they started talking, the old lady would be able to continue and make sense of it. Not only that, she could also come up with many ideas that she had never heard before.
The boss came up with new ideas one after another, and they were successful every time. In addition to being amazed and admiring him from the bottom of her heart, she was also very stressed, and her arrogance and desire to fool people were completely put to rest.
He really knows his stuff, and my ancestral skills may not be good enough.
Looking at the equipment that the Qiao family has made now, it is many generations ahead!
The southern noble families had a 16-spindle spinning wheel, which was already very impressive, but the Qiao family had a 72-spindle spinning wheel. How could they compare? Once this news spread, wouldn't the proud manufacturing families in Jiangnan go crazy?
.......
The carpentry workshop at the foot of the North Mountain has been restless for several days!
Some are curious, some are voyeuristic, and some are accustomed to it.
Just when people were about to lose their curiosity, a huge red notice was posted on the notice board of the wheat field!
The word "recruiting" immediately irritated everyone's nerves!
Now that the autumn harvest has passed, everyone is thinking about how to spend the winter this year!
The Qiao family once again recruited a large number of people, and this time there were only a large number of female workers.
Some men and boys were not convinced: "Why is that? Women are so weak, what can they do?"
"Didn't you see what's written there? Cotton spinners will be trained first, then they can start work and sign contracts. The first batch of workers will work for a month, and those with outstanding abilities will be transferred to regular workers. If you are hired, you won't have to worry about having nothing to do throughout the winter."
"What is a cotton spinner? What does he do? He is a regular worker. Will he have work to do at this time every year?"
"Why do you care so much? Why don't you check which company is hiring? It's the Qiao family. Have they ever treated their employees unfairly? Check out the treatment quickly."
Seeing this, it was even more exciting: "Oh my, the wages of ordinary workers are 300 wen a month, and lunch is included! No, I have to go back and tell my wife and sister!"
After saying this, the man really left his companions behind, turned around, squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards his home.
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Hurry back and inform your family. If you are late, there will be no spots left!"
The place that was packed with people just now was suddenly deserted like birds and beasts!
At this time, Nanny Qin was also complaining to Qiao Xin in the mansion, wondering if the salary was too high. It was just weaving thread and spinning cloth, and they just sat there all day to get the job done. It was not dangerous, and such hard work did not deserve such a high salary.
"Don't worry, Ma'am. With this year's production, we can finish all the work in less than two months. It's no big deal if we make a small loss.
Although my family has helped the villagers in every way this year, the villagers are still poor, and most people live a tight life. Those with men as the mainstay of the family naturally have a better life, but for the family with only women in charge, this winter is not so easy to endure.
Before winter comes, let the villagers have some spare money so that they can at least buy a warm coat."
"Madam, your hands can grab money, but they can't hold it. It's a pity that you are so careless. If an elder from a big family spent money like this, the younger generation would have complained a lot."
Qiao Xin crossed her legs and leaned back on the recliner, but said disapprovingly, "Humph, I can spend my own money however I want. If I don't even have this little freedom, it's better for this family to break up sooner rather than later.
The shops of the eldest and second eldest are now treasure pots. They make a fortune every day. Wasn't it me who helped them build them up?
The fish warehouses of my grandchildren are full, and the guests are always full. Everyone has enough food. If you are still not satisfied and are thinking about this little thing from me, ... "
Nanny Qin didn't expect Qiao Xin to react so strongly, and she quickly said, "Oh my god, it's all my fault. Why am I saying all this? I just feel sorry for you for being so busy for so long, and in the end, most of the money you earned was used to subsidize the employees. It seems like you didn't even spend a penny on yourself.
Look at what you are wearing. You don't look like an old feudal lord at all. You don't even have a single decent piece of jewelry on you!
You did it quietly. If some people are calculating, it's fine, but I'm afraid that they will slowly grow up to think that it's natural to do so. Aren't I afraid that you will feel bad when the time comes?"
Qiao Xin smiled proudly: "Don't worry, Ma'am. I don't expect anything in return for my kindness. I never expect others to repay me, so no matter how others react, it won't hurt me. I just like the happy process of making and spending money! If we really put all this money in the warehouse and let it gather dust, we will feel unhappy!
This person, with spare money, naturally has leisure time, hobbies and obsessions! Just think of me as an old woman letting people around me live a good life is a hobby. Isn't it much more satisfying? It's better than spending money on sleeping with prostitutes, cockfighting and running dogs, right? "
"What's the difference between you and the boy who gives away money? Never mind. I've done so many good things, so this one won't make a difference. Since the old lady thinks it's fun, I'll accompany you. You won't starve anyway!"
"Hahaha, that's the right thing to think about. While we have some free time today, go get the white folded paper we brought back yesterday and make a few vests for the children. It's getting cold, so it's time to get ready.
The eldest and the third are both in the mountains, and the temperature changes quickly in the morning and evening, so I made two sets for them first and had someone send them over.
And Heng Wen, he's still thinking about us. He even sent someone to deliver a batch of cattle and sheep to us a few days ago."
Nanny Qin also had a smile on her face: "The prince is a loyal person. He will remember whoever treats him well! The northwest is bitterly cold, this cotton-padded jacket is indeed a suitable return gift!"
