After five or six days of busy work, under Zhong Lin's control, the ten improved pedal spinning wheels finally turned into real objects one by one.

Although the newly built wooden shed is ventilated, it still cannot block the curious figures of the villagers.

At the door of the shed, Wei Shi asked Zhong Lin to cut a flat wooden board and wrote a few words on it: Looking for female workers, half a plant a day, work points will be recorded, and the account will be settled at the end of the month. The quota is limited to ten people.

From the perspective of future generations, this recruitment notice could not be more black.

If it were posted at the factory door, it would be torn off in minutes.

But it was such a simple recruitment notice that triggered a storm in Yushuwan Village.

The Wei family wants to recruit workers to build a textile workshop, which is a big event.

The spinning wheel of Wei Shi's family was installed bit by bit by the villagers. The speed at which Han Qiuyun spun thread was also seen by the women with their own eyes. Close neighbors such as Fifth Aunt Zi and Zhang Erni even went up to try it out.

Therefore, for Yushuwan village women who have never seen the world and are used to digging wild vegetables and doing housework, becoming a weaver is undoubtedly more attractive.

Ten places.

There are too many monks but too little porridge.

In order to compete for a spot, the women did not even do housework and crowded in front of Wei Shi's house. When Zhong Lin assembled one, they immediately grabbed the spot to show their belonging.

The third day of March.

A beautiful and sunny day.

Wei Shi's linen weaving workshop is officially open for business.

Han Qiuyun did his part and was responsible for managing this small workshop, with Zhang Erni assisting him. The fifth aunt was very angry because she had many things at home and did not take over Erni.

Fortunately, Wei Shi was concerned about her family's situation and left a place for her among the female workers.

After the opening, the women in Yushu Bay went crazy, and the lights in Wei Shi's wooden shed stayed on day and night.

Open your eyes and make money.

Close your eyes and make money.

In the past, men relied on men to support the family, but now women can not only support the family, but also earn more than men by spinning threads.

Among the female workers recruited by Wei Shi, Liu's sister-in-law and her family were the ones who brought money to the family because of Wang Laoliu's superb hunting skills. Liu's sister-in-law had always been a coward in front of Liu's brother and did not dare to resist.

But now, the sixth sister-in-law earns more than Wang Laoliu, and the family's economic status has improved. Wang Laoliu got angry and beat his wife violently, taking advantage of the man's physical strength.

As a result, the sixth sister-in-law could not go to work, and her position was taken by another woman.

As soon as this incident happened, Sister-in-law Six, who had always been a coward, was so angry that she wanted to fight Wang Laoliu and even threatened to make peace with Lao Liu.

What makes Wang Laoliu even more embarrassed is that Wang Laoliu and Wang Laoliu stopped helping him when they saw money. Instead, they sided with Liusao. Wang Laoliu even held up a wooden pole and pulled Wang Laoliu away

Chased the whole village.

Later, Sixth Sister-in-law used her spinning skills to get another job in the competition, and her family status soared.

Poor Wang Laoliu claimed to be a hero in the village. When he had no work to do, he could only take care of the housework, washing diapers for his son Shiro, and other tasks also fell to him.

With the help of Zhong Lin and a group of carpenters, Wei Shi's assembly of the textile machine became much easier.

But at the same time, there was another extremely important thing pressing on him.

If Mi's dove is released, if nothing new is brought out, what is waiting for Wei Shi is the army coming to capture him. Even if he and Fu Shu have some good feelings, nothing can be changed.

After thinking for a long time, Wei Shi decided to focus on building looms and building brick kilns.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the most outstanding textile technology was not found in the Central Plains, but in the Shu region in the southwest.

After Liu Bei founded the country, Shu brocade was the most important strategic material of the Shu Han Dynasty. During Zhuge Liang's several northern expeditions, many supplies and military supplies were purchased in exchange for Shu brocade.

Compared with the advanced brocade weaving technology in Shu, the Central Plains has been in turmoil for years. Dong Zhuo burned down the last remaining remains of the Luoyang Palace in a fire.

This time, Wei Shi racked his brains to come up with a shuttle loom, and the model was the one invented by Huang Daopo.

There are thread columns covered with warp threads, an erected frame, a bamboo pole that pulls the rope down, a pedal that connects the bamboo rope, and a weaving shuttle. When the weft threads and warp threads intersect, they are squeezed by the machine to form a piece of cloth.

Compared with the Shu brocade looms, this semi-automatic shuttle loom is undoubtedly more efficient.

Wei Shi's purpose in getting out the shuttle loom that was ahead of its time was to stabilize Mi Zhen and Mi Zhu first and let them extinguish the fire first.

In the face of age-changing inventions, I believe businessmen like the Mi brothers will not refuse in-depth cooperation.

"Ten acres of land are eight acres wide, and there is a daughter-in-law sitting in it, with thousands of zithers and ten thousand strings, and the shuttles are threaded back and forth in the hands." Han Qiuyun was very surprised when Wei Shi came up with a new trick.

After trying to weave cloth a few times, she immediately fell in love with her and lost interest in the spinning technology. This is normal. After all, spinning thread is only a semi-finished product, while the woven cloth is a finished product.

After solving the problem of the shuttle loom, Wei Shi took advantage of the time when he was delivering thread to the city and sent a piece of linen with colorful patterns woven by Han Qiuyun to the Mi family business as a gift.

Wei Shi believed that as long as Mi Zhen saw Ma Bu, she would become interested in him again.

Because women are born with clothing preferences.

Especially a woman like Mi Zhen, who has been in business since she was a child and is used to seeing novel things.

However, Wei Shi did not see the Mi brothers and sisters at the Mi family business. According to the manager, Mi Zhu was busy raising military resources for Liu Bei and had no time to ask about Wei Shi's affairs.

In Xinye City, Liu Beijun generals gathered.

Wei Shi only glanced at the top of the city and discovered the flags of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The arrival of these two generals also meant that Liu Bei had recovered from the defeat in Runan.

Repeated defeats and battles, the more setbacks you have, the more courage you get.

Liu Bei gradually developed and strengthened in his repeated confrontations with Cao Cao.

Judging from the timeline, General Zuo, who was unwilling to be mediocre, had already begun recruiting troops and talented people.

Next year, that is, the seventh year of Jian'an, a battle will break out between Cao and Liu that burns Bowangpo. The victory of this counterattack won Liu Bei several years of peace, and also laid the foundation for him to gain the hearts and minds of the new people.

.

If Wei Shi wanted to gain a foothold in Xinye, the first thing he had to do was to improve his reputation.

As a Luzuo commoner with no family background to rely on, the support of the people is crucial.

Developing the village of Yushuwan well, making the villagers here feel grateful and praise each other, and spreading his reputation through the mouths of the people are the most important things for Wei Shi at the moment.

On the way back to Yushu Bay, Wei Shi deliberately detoured to Huangtan, downstream of Qishui River, where Huang Xu's residence was located.

Compared with Wei Shi, a commoner who had nothing, Huang Xu had Huang Zhong to rely on in the Jingzhou army, so he didn't have to worry too much about being bullied.

The main purpose of Wei Shi's trip was to ask Huang Xu to buy a batch of iron materials, and then see if he could build a blast furnace and revive the blacksmithing skills left by Wei Blacksmith.

In addition, although the two of them had been together several times since their last marriage selection, Wei Shi moved less when he became busy, while Huang Xu seemed to be physically deficient, and his person became more and more frail.

It’s not easy to have a background of making friends.
