The next day, I still woke up early and was still led by Li Qifeng for training.
Yesterday's performance was very successful and beautiful, but I always felt that it lacked a lot, that is, it didn't have much military quality.
Ye Xing feels that to maintain this army as a special operations team, their cooperative operations and individual team combat capabilities have not been truly tested. Some substantial and difficult training is needed to effectively improve the actual combat level. .
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng had discussed it, and in a few days they would lead a team into the mountains for actual combat testing. An army without life and death combat would simply not have combat effectiveness.
Moreover, the key is the ability to survive and respond to emergencies. These cannot be taught and must be learned through the test of life and death.
Before the training, Ye Xing feels that there are many things to do, such as equipment, salary, personnel adjustments and other things, and it takes time to prepare.
The first priority today was to officially open his factory. Ye Xing immediately returned to Xingchen Villa to prepare everything.
Ye Xing returned to his villa and explained some details to everyone first.
Then they all stood at the door of the factory. Ye Xing asked all the people in the villa to wait in line, just waiting for the arrival of the city lord;
A plaque was hung on the door of the factory, which read, Xingchen Textile Industry, and was wrapped in red cloth.
It was almost noon when the city lord and several dignitaries from the city lord's mansion rushed over because they had still been dealing with matters for a long time.
Ye Xing led a group of masters to visit the factory, introducing them as they walked. Looking at the unusually clean and orderly equipment, Li Xuantong became a curious baby, and Ye Xing answered one by one.
City Lord Li couldn't wait any longer and asked Ye Xing to start work immediately. He wanted to see the latest achievements of this talented disciple.
Ye Xing, who had prepared a speech, had no choice but to order the work to start immediately.
Lin Tie walked to the gate of the villa's canal and asked someone to open the gate. A rush of Beijiang rapids rushed down the several-foot-wide canal, and the waterwheel immediately started spinning. It seemed that everything was normal.
Ye Xing said "Start work" and pulled a switch next to the waterwheel. The chain of the sprocket of the spinning machine was connected to the sprocket on the shaft of the waterwheel, and the spinning machine immediately started working.
The spinning machine has 64 yarns at the same time, which are quickly pulled, twisted, and wound into spindles. In just a moment, 64 spindles are completed.
A female worker pressed a switch, and the chain was detached, cutting off the spinning thread at the same time. She pressed another switch, and the 64 thread spools rotated and then moved to the loom. The new 64 empty thread bobbins automatically entered the correct position. The two female workers put the thread ends. After spinning the 64 spinning drums twice and checking that they were correct, the switch was pressed and the spinning machine started working again.
A female worker came to the loom, pulled out the thread ends on each thread spindle, and fixed it on the loom. After checking it, she pressed a switch and the loom started to work, just like manual weaving. Same, but faster and less tiring.
Soon, a small piece of cotton appeared on the loom.
Ye Xing told the master that this set of spinning and weaving machinery only requires four people to inspect it and does not require hard work. One day is equivalent to the work output of 200 skilled female workers, which is 50 times the human work;
And the quality is much better, the cotton is denser, smoother, and more consistent.
City Master Li was very surprised. This was the power of machinery. At the same time, he was also amazed by the talent of this apprentice. What a genius idea.
But after a while, City Master Li still had a question, "In this case, what else can ordinary housewives do?"
Ye Xing said: "I also thought about this, so I don't plan to sell my cloth cheaply, it will be higher than the current market price. The main buyers will be wealthy people, so that it will not impact the original hand-woven fabrics of ordinary women. "
"We also need to open various new factories, all of which will recruit female workers and provide high wages. This will give women the opportunity to make money without having to rely on men."
"And in order to ensure the supply of cotton, I will purchase it at a higher price, so that more farmers will plant cotton. Planting is a man's business, but picking cotton is a woman's business. This way, there will be more jobs for men and more women." work."
"If I come up with some more things, all the people in Donghai County will have more job opportunities. Donghai City is a commercial city. These products will soon be sold throughout the Song Dynasty and even other countries. In this way, master, you will soon be the world's leader. The richest city lord in the world." Ye Xing smiled.
Li Xuantong laughed loudly, "You must be the richest businessman in the world!"
At the same time, he frowned and said, "As soon as you become big, people will soon be jealous and care about you. This is a serious problem, and once the sect gets involved, it may not be able to keep this foundation."
Ye Xing said, "Master is right. I've thought about it too! So we won't open too many such factories for the time being. And our strength must be strengthened. But this is not a long-term solution. I thought of a long-term solution, which is, Win-win cooperation, benefit sharing, and share dividends.”
Li Xuantong said, "What does this mean?"
"Our textile industry has many links to do, such as planting, transportation, production, and sales. We have only done one of the production links, so we need other links to cooperate, but we cannot do them all ourselves, so we must let others do it. Do it, this is win-win cooperation.”
"And in order for everything to go smoothly, everyone in the process must benefit. This is benefit sharing."
Ye Xing continued, "We set up a company or chamber of commerce in every link, so that everyone who is willing to join will have a certain share. All participants do not need to participate in anything in the chamber of commerce, but they will be divided based on their share at the end of the year. Gaining profits is called stock dividends.”
"As long as the wealthy households in the city become our shareholders, they will naturally protect the interests of the chamber of commerce, because the chamber of commerce is their own chamber of commerce. If ordinary people participate, then all ordinary people will automatically protect their own chamber of commerce."
"And when each sect participates, they will naturally become defenders of our interests. The interests are big enough to make everyone in the world our own!"
Li Xuantong frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes! But we need to think more about how to operate the details. But everything still requires our own strength."
"By the way, how is your practice?"
Ye Xing replied, "The water system has entered the third level, and the wood system has entered the second level. Master, I found that there is no conflict between the two systems. It may be that the water system is beneficial to the wood system, and the internal power of the wood system is growing rapidly. The water system The progress will be slower due to insufficient spiritual energy.”
Li Xuantong said: "You originally had to give up two of your three spiritual roots and specialize in the water system, but the water system is beneficial to the wood system, so you can practice the wood system, but water and fire conflict, so don't practice the fire system! Accumulate as soon as possible in order to have an impact. innate."
"Everything is based on your own cultivation. Try to leave everything to others to do!"
Li Xuantong asked about the details of Ye Xing's practice again and felt that the problem was not big. He just asked him to pay attention to the details and think them through before proceeding to the next step of practice.
Li Xuantong said again before leaving, "Show me your plan as soon as possible."
Ye Xing wanted to have a casual meal with his master, but Li Xuantong left anyway. He felt that what he saw today was enough. He would meet this apprentice every few days, so there was no need to eat.
Ye Xing called all 14 people and held a short meeting.
Ye Xing said, "The textile matter is going well for the time being. Arrange Lin Haotian and Ye Yunshan to continue to observe, record every detail, and find ways to improve. Every five days, you must find a detail that needs to be improved. As long as it is effective, I will give you 10 taels. award."
"Mu Sheng and Lin Wen are in charge of the shops in the city, with Mu Sheng as the main one. Please hire two women to help sell our cloth. Pay attention to safety, property and your own safety. You must practice diligently, and I will let the city The guards will give the shop some protection.”
"Now we are setting up a processing plant in the nearby factory. We are mainly preparing to make weapons. They are all new designs and will be processed with water. All kinds of raw materials and ores will be purchased by Lin Tie. Others, including me, will Fully committed to making our own suitable equipment.”
"We must ensure the safety of our villa. If we make money so quickly, we will definitely attract the jealousy of outsiders. If we don't have the power, everything will disappear in the blink of an eye."
Everyone said yes, and they were not fools. Once outsiders knew that he was so rich, they would definitely be extremely jealous, and all troubles would immediately come to his door.
If you and others are not strong enough, then you can wait to be bullied and plundered by others. Even with the support of the City Lord's Mansion, some people will take action secretly. This is for sure. You still have to be strong in everything.
