"Line! Line up! Please line up everyone!"

"Come first and then come! Come first and then come do you understand?"

"Don't be anxious, don't squeeze! This number has plenty of stock, so everyone can buy socks, don't squeeze!"

In front of each cloth store, the guys shouted loudly, trying hard to maintain order. Today, the cloth store has new products on the market, which are good-quality and cheap knitted socks. More and more people came to hear the news, and they were all scrambling to buy socks. The surging crowd almost broke through the storefront of the cloth store.

A pair of socks that cost 6 cents a day are very close to the feet and do not need to be tied. The heels and toes are thicker, which will be more wear-resistant than ordinary people. Such socks can be afforded by ordinary people. Who wouldn’t want to buy a few pairs first and try it?

For ordinary people, as autumn and winter are about to come, if a family can have two pairs of socks, then the feet will not be prone to frostbite in the snow and ice, and they will suffer less. If these "knitted socks" are really good and cheap, then what's wrong with three pairs of socks at home?

Two pairs of socks are worn in rotation during the day, and one pair is worn at night when sleeping. According to the five people in a household, there are 15 pairs of socks for five people, which is 90 cents. As long as you are a person with hands and feet, you can afford fifteen pairs of socks in the workshop and do up to four days of work.

Ordinary people think so, so they have to buy a pair of socks first, and small vendors and peddlers think so, because if these knitted socks are really good and cheap, they will make a fortune.

Such cheap socks, as long as the quality is acceptable, they can sell them for more than ten cents. Now winter is coming, and people can buy a few pairs of socks to keep their feet cold, so as long as they are cheap, they don’t have to worry about not being able to sell socks.

The peddlers are carrying goods through mountains and rivers to make hard money. Now they may have another hot-selling goods, so they naturally have to rush to buy them. They have to make some money before the New Year and bring money home to celebrate the New Year.

Liu Zhen, who was about to leave the store, was shocked by the surging "crowds" in front of him. He vaguely remembered this scene, which was the scene when Huangzhou water-woven fabric was first sold a few years ago, and there were crowds of people in front of the cloth gate.

At that time, he was among the crowd, and now, it is the same.

With the efforts of the cloth mates to open the way, Liu Zhen and his entourage finally "break through the siege" and squeezed through the crowd to the street. Looking back, they saw that more and more people gathered in front of the cloth quotations, and more people were pouring out on the street.

There were men and women, old and young, civilians, vendors, and a large number of soldiers. Of course, these soldiers came to maintain order, blew whistles in their mouths, desperately forming a wall of humans to maintain order, and more and more people gathered throughout the street.

Seeing that he wouldn't be able to squeeze out if he didn't leave, Liu Zhen and his entourage quickly walked towards the intersection.

After finally avoiding the crowd, Liu Zhen stood blankly by the street corner. The autumn sun shone on his body, but he couldn't feel any warmth. He was a little lost and looked very desolate, and his back looked completely desolate, not as bright as he had just been shopping before.

In just a while, Liu Zhen was strongly stimulated, but what was stimulating him was not the knitted socks that cost a pair of five cents.

A knitted socks worth five cents are only 250 cents. For bulk transactions, this amount of money is nothing, but Liu Zhen saw how strong the ability of the Huangzhou workshop is to make socks.

The textile workshop in Huangzhou will have its own cloth number (Di Store) to sell fabrics in the city. Manager Zhao’s cloth number can take over his order of 50,000 knitted socks without hesitation, and the delivery date is not long, which means that the workshop behind the other party has strong production capacity.

Liu Zhen judged that this pair of knitted socks, which cost 6 cents a day, was just a cheap product that Huangzhou workshop owners made small profits and sold at a low price.

This kind of cheap knitted socks can be afforded by ordinary people, and if the other party wants to make a lot of money, they must rely on better quality knitted socks. For example, using ramie to knit socks, the comfort of wearing them on their feet in summer will increase.

Cloths made from ramie are called summer cloths because of their sweat-absorbing effects. Most wealthy families wear clothes sewn by summer cloths in summer. If there are ramie knitted socks that are not expensive, I think many people will buy them.

But there are not only hemp, kudzu, but also silk that can spin yarn. Since kudzu can knit socks, Liu Zhen guessed that silk can also knit socks.

Liu Zhen did not see the actual silk socks, and Manager Zhao smiled at this question without saying a word, so he judged that the workshop in Huangzhou will likely launch silk knitted socks in the near future, and this kind of socks will definitely be popular among wealthy families.

Socks sewn in silk are called silk socks, and socks knitted with silk should be called silk socks. Liu Zhen thinks that these socks may also be very close to the feet, so they will be more popular than silk socks.

Silk stockings are easy to break, and knitted stockings should not be much better, so the cost of use is not low.

But this is not a problem for wealthy families. People can afford to wear it, not to mention socks, even silk and satin are no problem.

Liu Zhen knew that some wealthy families not only had their heads, but their families wore silk and satin. Even hundreds of servants in the mansion wore silk and satin. Even the more exaggerated dogs had silk and satin jackets. For these people who were not short of money, what were stockings?

If you break a pair, throw it away and wear new ones directly. The price of knitted stockings is definitely not low, so the profit will be very high.

If there are such knitted stockings, they will definitely be hot-selling fabrics. They will not have to worry about sales and the profits will be very high. Who among merchants doesn’t want to do such a business?

Liu Zhen quickly thought of this step in the cloth account, so he wanted to meet with Manager Zhao's boss, talk in detail, and talk about "cooperation".

The problem is that only the workshops in Huangzhou can weave such socks. If you want to talk about cooperation with all the big bosses, merchants and big players from all over the world will have to compromise.

The hemp and kudzu needed by the other party’s textile workshop must be supplied honestly, and raw silk must be supplied in large quantities.

In this way, everything will return to the starting point, and newly started hydraulic textile workshops in Jingxiang will be "hungry" due to insufficient raw materials.

When Liu Zhen thought of this, he felt extremely helpless. It seemed that his hydraulic textile workshop would make at most small money in the future, and it would be difficult to make a fortune.

If you have the kung fu, it is better to buy socks in Xiyang and resell them, so that you can make faster profits and higher profits.

Liu Zhen walked and thought, but before he knew it, he came to another street corner and saw many people gathering beside several wooden platforms in front of him. There were several people standing on each platform, holding a big cardboard horn and shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Recruiting workers, recruiting workers! Textile workers, regardless of gender, pay 35 cents a day, and equal pay for equal work!"

"Three shifts, including food and accommodation, can eat three meals a day!! You can eat meat every day!"

People on the stage kept shouting, and from time to time, companions beat gongs, and many people surrounded the audience. From time to time, someone went to the recruitment office to register. Liu Zhen looked from a distance and understood that it was the textile workshops that were recruiting workers on a large scale.

The textile workshops in Huangzhou are originally very large in scale and employ many textile workers, including many skilled workers. Liu Zhen did not hear that the workshops in Huangzhou fired textile workers on a large scale, nor did he hear that the other party increased the textile machinery on a large scale and expanded the production capacity of the loom.

So now the workshops are recruiting textile workers on a large scale, and there must be problems.

Liu Zhen just thought about it and realized the seriousness of the problem.

Knitting is a knitted product. A knitted workshop will appear in Huangzhou. The fabrics in the workshop may not only include knitted socks, but also many knitted products!

The workshop owners in Huangzhou must have begun to expand the production of knitted goods. Perhaps because knitting is more complicated than textiles, it is too late to train skilled workers from scratch, so the workshop owners have turned the skilled textile workers in the workshop into knitted workers. Therefore, now there are shortages of textile workers and a large number of people must be recruited.

Liu Zhen knew that a new industry was about to appear in Huangzhou - the knitting industry, which may have great potential and strong competitiveness. Therefore, Huangzhou's textile and knitting industry will sooner or later become a glutton that swallows a lot of hemp, kudzu and even silk.

This glutton will swallow the raw materials such as silk, hemp, and kale produced in various parts of the south of the mountain and even in the surrounding areas, and will also swallow a large number of idle laborers in various places. Therefore, the big players from other places cannot compete and can only find other ways to solve the problem.

It is definitely not possible to use a secret move, because the backing of the Huangzhou workshop owners is King Xiyang, and everyone has seen the fate of the powerful Huaixiwu Fortress, so...
