Silver Overlord Chapter 528: New world
"I don't know what kind of business, you can make tens of millions of silver a year?" Zhong Hongzhang asked curiously, and Zhong Ruolan and He Zhang, who was next to him, also looked at Yan Liqiang, lest he miss every word that Yan Liqiang said.
"Of course it's a business that turns waste into treasure!" Yan Liqiang smiled calmly. "If the Zhong family believes me, Mr. Zhong will go back this time and let the Zhong family spare no effort to hoard wool and buy ranch to prepare sheep. Because in the next few years, the wool in the northwest will become very popular, and the wool that is now useless will become exquisite and expensive fabrics. This business is really going to be done. It is not impossible to earn 10 million silver a year! "
Zhong Hongzhang reacted all of a sudden, his eyes widened, "The young man has found a way to make wool used for fabric?"
"Yes, I already know how to turn wool into fabric!" Yan Liqiang said quietly. In the past two months, Yan Liqiang has already succeeded, and he has clarified all the steps. The cheap grass ash is made into soda ash, and after a simple cleaning step, the problem of wool degreasing can be easily solved. After the degreasing wool is dried and carded, it can be directly used for spinning like cotton, using ordinary spinning. The spinning efficiency of the spinning machine is too low, so Yan Liqiang has made some improvements to the spinning machine. The principle of the hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine is actually not complicated, and there is no manufacturing compared with ordinary workshops and family spinning machines. Difficulty, a few qualified carpenters are sufficient, and after using Yan Liqiang ’s improved spinning machine, the efficiency of one person ’s spinning can be increased by 16 times compared to the traditional spinning efficiency. The cloth can be woven from the improved shuttle loom, and the efficiency is also increased many times.
The three members of the Zhong family looked at Yan Liqiang in shock and looked at the incredible eyes of the three. Yan Liqiang no longer said much, but stood up, "The three follow me, I will take the three Just look at one place ... "
Zhong Hongzhang, Zhong Ruolan, and He, the shopkeeper, naturally stood up, and Yan Liqiang took three people out of the Yan family ’s living room and walked toward the Yan family ’s backyard.
After walking a few steps, Zhong Hongzhang found that Yan Liqiang was going to take a few people to the backyard, and specially reminded him, "Yang, son, is this convenient ..."
"Haha, Mr. Zhong is assured that there are no women in the backyard of Yan ’s house, and my father and I live separately in the backyard, and there are only a few servants and maids!" Yan Liqiang said, walking constantly, taking three people through The cloister and two yards.
On the way, the more you go inside, the more the three members of the Zhong family feel that the backyard is more heavily guarded. At the heavy door, there are guards of the Yan family guarding, waiting for people who want to come in. , Basically impossible.
After being spared for two minutes in the Yan family ’s mansion, Yan Liqiang took the three people to a large courtyard. The guards of this courtyard were more strict. At the gate of the courtyard, there were six guards directly guarding the courtyard. The door was locked until Yan Liqiang came to let the guard who opened the gate open the door of the courtyard.
The yard is very wide and large. On the side of the yard are several rooms where people can live. The middle of the yard is empty. There are no flower stands and plants. There are only flat floor tiles and wooden frames placed in the yard. , The wooden shelf is like a steamer for steamed buns, with layers of dustpans layered on top of each other, and on the other side of the yard, there is a huge room, and similar machines and wood are faintly heard in the room The sound of the wheel turning.
As soon as they came here, Zhong Hongzhang ’s eyes were attracted by the layers of clothes drying in the yard. The clothes drying on the wooden frame were white and soft things that looked far away. , Just like cotton, Yan Liqiang brought three people to a wooden stand. From a dustpan drying on the wooden stand, he reached out and grabbed a mass of the sun-dried things, and handed them to the three members of the Zhong family. Mr. Zhong, what other shopkeeper does Miss Ruolan still recognize? "
The things in your hands are white and soft like clouds. They are dazzling white in the sun. The hairy ones in your hands have a special delicate feel, which is completely different from cotton. It is absolutely difficult for people who do n’t know to associate it with the half-yellow and white in the impression of everyone, mixed with sand, debris, feces, lanolin, and the wool on the sheep sticking together.
"This is ... wool?" Zhong Hongzhang asked in shock.
"Well, to be exact, sheep wool. After a special treatment process, the sheep wool that could not be used for weaving has become something in Mr. Zhong's hand. This thing has dried up and changed. It must be similar to cotton, as long as it goes through a simple process again, basically, it can be used to spin things ... "
"In the room over there, but someone is spinning something with this thing?" Zhong Hongzhang asked, pointing to the big room where the sound came from.
"Hahaha, since all of you have come here, the three of you will follow me to see!" Yan Liqiang led the three of them towards the big room. In the place of experiment, I found six reliable couples in the town. Xu paid a lot of money to let them live in this yard for two months. Without contacting the outside, I tried to explore the use of wool for textiles according to my orders and requirements. Steps, besides me, the three are the first people to visit here ... "
Yan Liqiang said that he had arrived at the door of the big house, and gently reached out and pushed the door of the room open.
There were more than a dozen people in the house, including men and women, and a manager in the Yan Family Mansion. When Yan Liqiang pushed the door in, all the people stopped their work at once, and Yan Liqiang See the gift.
Yan Liqiang smiled and greeted everyone, "Do n’t stop, just continue, I ’ll take someone to see ..."
When I heard Yan Liqiang say this, the person who had just stopped immediately was busy with his work.
Looking at the things in the house, Zhong Hongzhang, Zhong Ruolan, and He Zhang, who had just been held by the white wool, opened their eyes again, refreshing the three views. This big house is filled with many strange Utensils, those utensils have never been seen by a few people, one of them is as big as a bed, it seems to be a spinning machine, but it is very different from the spinning machines that several people have seen. Traditional spinning machines, spindles It is placed horizontally, there is only one, and the spinning machine in front of it is much larger than the traditional spinning machine. The spindles on the spinning machine are not placed horizontally, but vertically, one spinning machine Above, there are sixteen spindles. As the woman sitting in front of the spinning machine shakes the handle, the sixteen white threads hanging on the spinning machine spin up ~ IndoMTL.com ~ is like the most magical thing in the world The magic is the same ...
Just by looking at the spinning machine, Zhong Hongzhang knew the value of the spinning machine, which is difficult to estimate. But this can increase the efficiency of a person ’s spinning by sixteen times, not to mention anything else, as long as a person There is such a thing in the family, it is great, a woman who can spinning, shake this, it is enough to feed a family of people ...
On the other side, that shuttle loom made Zhong Hongzhang unable to move his eyes...
"These tools here are all made by myself. They are tried and improved here. They have been finalized. It ’s also a coincidence. Just tomorrow, the first batch of spinning machines and weaving machines made by the manufacturing bureau The cloth machine will be sent to the town. I will open a large workshop in the town to produce cloth. In less than half a month, the first batch of wool cloth will come out ... "Yan Liqiang took three people on the side Wandering around the room, he said.
Everything in front of you, for those who are indifferent and indifferent, may not understand it, and do n’t know the meaning of it, but Zhong Hongzhang is so knowledgeable that he has been in the world. For decades, the things in front of him are like pushing the door of a new world to him. Compared with the things in front of them, the small iron ore that they sent from their home is not a big deal. Nothing, nothing at all ...
