Two days later, Lu Xianzhi sent a message saying that he had agreed with the Weaving Bureau and initially felt that this method was feasible. However, before the specific implementation, a survey of the weaving skills of these women should be conducted to determine that they are worthy of being the government.

Recruiting as weavers.

In this way, the women selected by Xu Shuhua came in handy. So early that morning, Xu Shuhua took them to the largest weaving and dyeing workshop in the city, preparing to be assessed and screened by officials of the Weaving Bureau.

Because this is just a pre-examination of the weaving skills, not many people are needed, so there are only ten women participating in it, all between the ages of twenty and thirty-five, which is the most suitable age for learning and workmanship.

.

This is the first time these women have entered the city since they headed south. They were stunned by the traffic on the way, their eyes were full of confusion, their whole body was cramped and restrained, and they seemed out of place.

Gu Yunji was surprised to find that Miss Wu was also among them. She was wearing a linen cloth dress that was washed until white and followed everyone timidly. At this moment, when she saw Lu Xianzhi and other officials of Hangzhou Prefecture, she became more and more treasonable and buried her head low.

Yes, I dare not look at them.

Tao Jian, a slim woman in Hangzhou, glanced at the thin women, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a little disgusted in her eyes, but she didn't say anything. After a few greetings with Gu Yunji and others, she took them in.

Factory.

As soon as I entered the workshop, the creaking sounds of countless looms running were crowded into everyone's ears, and the noisy and busy atmosphere suddenly came to my face.

In front of the neatly arranged looms, there were women who described as capable. They were staring at the loom in front of them with full concentration, neat and skillful movements, not affected by the noisy environment at all, and the latitudes were intertwined, and they were soft and smooth.

The smooth silk is gradually woven.

The space here is very large, and at least three or four hundred looms are placed. From a distance, you can see flying shuttles and busy figures of weavers. The scene is grand and spectacular.

Tao Jian led everyone inside and introduced: "This is the largest official weaving and dyeing workshop in Hangzhou Prefecture, and is affiliated to the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau. There are more than 500 looms and more than 1,800 weaving and dyeing workers.

People, this factory alone can produce 10,000 pieces of silk every month.”

Gu Yunji was shocked when he heard this. Jiangnan was indeed very rich. Not to mention other things, the silk weaving industry alone can generate much revenue every year. The profit is so rich, it is no wonder that the court's maritime ban policy has been relaxed several times.

The sea trade has not been completely blocked.

When he walked to a corner where more than a dozen idle looms were placed, Tao Jian stopped and looked back at the ten women following behind everyone: "Although Hangzhou Prefecture is short of weavers, we are not

Everyone wants it. Only by meeting the basic weaving standards and passing our assessment can you successfully enter the factory to work."

As he said that, he waved his hand to call a few weaving workers and then said, "They are all good men of weaving silk. Considering that you have never been in contact with silk before, they will teach you skills and key points. You must learn well.

.”

Tao Jian has been in an official position for many years, and has a majestic temperament when speaking and doing things. He looks a bit arrogant and looking down. At this moment, his tone is half a coach and half a warning. Gu Yunji and others heard it was okay, but they didn't see the world much.

The women were so shocked that they felt guilty, and now they became even more cowardly and flinched.

Tao Jian said: "As for plain woven silk, ordinary workers can weave seven feet in one hour, and skilled workers can weave one meter. I lower the requirements for you. Now it is the four hours of Chen, if it is the right time in the afternoon and You hour.

Before the cemetery, you can reach a speed of five feet per hour, even if you pass."

This requirement is indeed not high. After all, it is morning and the women still have half a day to study and practice. But they have never been exposed to weaving silk, and they have left their hometown to escape for several months of wasteland and weaving cloth.

The craftsmanship is a little unfamiliar.

Now they are in such a strange environment, and there are Tao Jian and other officials staring at each other like surveillance. The women are very nervous and their minds cannot be turned at all. Even if the weaver explains in detail, they are still clumsy.

Nothing to know.

Looking at their busy appearance, Tao Jian felt impatient in his heart. He said "tsk" without any concealment and complained to Lu Xianzhi: "Is this the weaver you are looking for for me? Look, Shuzi is

I don’t know how to get it, but just like this, can you weave silk?”

Lu Xianzhi's face was also a little ugly. He heard this and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth and said, "I haven't touched you before, it's normal. Let's take a look."

Xu Shuhua took all this into her eyes. She quietly stepped forward a few steps, walked naturally to the women, leaned over and comforted softly, "It's okay, don't hurry, let's take it slowly. Look, this shuttle can't

This way, it's like this..."

With Xu Shuhua's verbal encouragement and personal guidance, the women gradually relaxed and began to understand the skills carefully, and slowly found some tricks.

Gu Yunji did not want them to be influenced by his own group of people, so he suggested to Lu Xianzhi and others: "Sir, it's still early to stay. Why do we do something else first? When it's right at the right time, what will happen?"

Everyone felt that this was reasonable, so they stopped staying and left one after another.

Xu Shuhua was worried that the women would not adapt after they left, so she decided to stay here. Gu Yunji was a little worried and looked at her and asked worriedly: "Can you be alone? Do you need me to accompany you?"

Xu Shuhua was so amused and laughed: "I am so adult, what's wrong? This is a government-run factory, not a wasteland. Most of the workers are women, so there will be no problem. Mr. Gu regards me as the third person who cannot live without people.

A year old child?”

"By the way, aren't you going to patrol the suburbs with Su Qi and the others today? Go quickly and don't let others wait for a long time." Xu Shuhua's mouth curled up a light curve, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with a gentle smile, "Don't worry,

I'm very safe here. When you come back in the evening, you will definitely see satisfactory results."

Gu Yunji knew that Xu Shuhua had his own idea, so he stopped saying anything after hearing this. After giving a few instructions, he turned around and left.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already dusk. At the right time of You, everyone gathered in the weaving and dyeing workshop to prepare to accept the women's learning achievements over the day.

In just one hour, five of the ten women, five of them weave a five-foot silk, three of them weave six feet, one of them weave seven feet, and one of them weave nearly eight feet.

The conclusion is obvious – all qualified.
