Yunchu thought that the person who came to take charge of the cotton textile workshop would be one of the two young eunuchs of the Shaofu, but unexpectedly the person who came was Zuo Chun, the governor of Baiqisi.
After this person arrived, no one was seen at the entrance of the cotton textile workshop.
Because he had to hand over work, Yunchu came into contact with a truly powerful eunuch for the first time.
Zuo Chun was a serious-looking eunuch. His hair was already gray, but it was neatly combed. He did not wear the bucket-shaped hat that eunuchs often wore. He tied his hair with a white jade hairpin. He was crimson.
The official uniform is very neat and tidy, and he walks like a tiger and a dragon, not like a eunuch at all.
Being able to wear crimson robes meant that he was at least a fourth-grade eunuch. After all, after all his years in the Tang Dynasty, this was the first time that Yun Chu had seen a great eunuch who could wear crimson robes.
From the fourth grade, I heard that it was the highest grade set by Emperor Taizong for eunuchs. Generally, only the chief eunuch, the imperial eunuch, and the eunuch in charge were qualified to wear it.
The person in front of me is obviously not these three.
Not only did Governor Zuo Chun not look like a eunuch himself, but even his entourage, all of them thick-backed and bearded, had nothing to do with eunuchs.
Yun Chu clearly noticed that Yang Ying's legs were shaking as he was following him. This guy must have known that this person was the Grand Governor of Baiqisi.
Yunchu took Zuo Chun to introduce the storage of cotton and fire prevention, and then gave a very detailed introduction from drying cotton, spinning thread to making cloth.
As for the highest-level secret of cotton spinning, Yunchu would certainly not tell it. Therefore, if you want to get fluffy cotton in a cotton textile workshop, you can only rely on manual tearing.
In Yunchu's view, this workshop was very primitive. The spinning and weaving machines were all machines that existed in the Tang Dynasty. Basically, it was a purely manual work.
Wannian County, which occupies half of Chang'an City, has a population of only 300,000 in the household register. However, the population count has already exceeded 500,000. There are 300,000 people living in the city and more than 200,000 people living outside the city.
With such a huge population, there is a severe shortage of jobs. Ever since Yun Chu took office as Wannian County Lieutenant, all his work contents have actually been one--that is, working hard to expand employment and create jobs.
The original purpose of opening a cotton textile workshop was also the same, so as long as one more worker could be hired, Yunchu would never be stingy.
Although the wages of these people are incredibly low, having a job can solve the problem of feeding at least two people.
Time was not valuable in the Tang Dynasty. At least, the time of the common people in the Tang Dynasty was not valuable. Therefore, any advanced tools that could improve efficiency were not worth mentioning in Yun Chu's eyes at this time.
After the efficiency is improved, it is the court, the emperor, and the nobles who benefit, not these common people.
What civilians need is a job that can make a living.
As for the royal family losing money, Yun Chu usually doesn't consider it. They have many ways to get money.
Of course, even for such a workshop, because the work process is arranged very reasonably, and the women here are very diligent, the speed of producing cotton thread and cotton cloth is not slow, and because of the working method of the assembly line, in Zuo Chun's opinion
, this way of working is already full of rhythm.
"So, this is the whole meaning of the existence of cotton spinning workshops. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty got enough things to keep out the cold, and the people of Chang'an City got something to support their families.
In my opinion, once more cotton is planted around Chang'an, there will definitely be more such workshops.
There will be more and more people relying on cotton for their livelihood. I hope Governor Zuo will be careful in his management and not destroy the source of food and clothing that the people rely on for their lives.
After that, the cotton spinning workshop was handed over to Governor Zuo."
In the cotton textile workshop, Yun Chu is of course the leading expert. Therefore, in the process of introducing the cotton textile workshop, Yun Chu's voice is unhurried and full of rhythm. Every word is full of great influence from the expert.
confidence.
Zuo Chun took his hands out of his sleeves for the first time, cupped his hands towards Yunchu and said, "I've learned a lesson."
Yun Chu also raised his hands and returned the courtesy and said: "Please forgive me for any inconvenience."
After the introduction, Yun Chu did not stay any longer, but looked at the noisy workshop in front of him with emotion-filled eyes, pushed Yang Ying, Liu Tao, and Liu Rui in front of Zuo Chun and said, "Yang Ying already knows the details of the entire workshop.
In the operation process, not only can he be qualified for all positions in the workshop, but in the future, whenever the governor prepares to open up a new workshop, this person will also be of great use.
Brothers Liu Tao and Liu Rui have been staying in the workshop these days, and now they know almost everything about the operation of the workshop.
The next thing their brothers have to do is to formulate various operating regulations based on the existing workshop operating conditions.
I believe that fire prevention regulations must be formulated as a priority and strictly enforced. Cotton itself is flammable. Once it catches fire, it will instantly become a conflagration, making it impossible to rescue, so be careful."
Yun Chu's heartfelt explanation and his selfless manner of supporting future generations were obviously beyond the understanding Zuo Chun, the Governor of Baiqisi, had of him in the past.
When Yang Ying, Liu Tao, and Liu Rui bowed their heads in the direction of Yun Chu, even Zuo Chun, who had been working as a spy for most of his life, was still moved.
Yun Chu made the handover very cleanly. Not only did he remove his office in the textile workshop, but he also completed all the remaining official affairs and explained clearly the whereabouts of every penny invested by the court. When he left, no one except himself
I didn't take anything with me except my pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
When he came, this place was just an open space. Today, when he left, it was a giant workshop that could accommodate four thousand women.
Yunchu's heart was filled with pride.
When Wen Wen saw Yun Chu back, she raised her hands to him seriously for the first time and said: "The county magistrate has accomplished this, which can be regarded as a model for officials in the world. If Zuo Chun's view of the county magistrate cannot be changed, a certain family
I thought this Zuo Chun must have a heart of stone."
Yunchu sighed and said: "At the beginning, I introduced it with a deceptive attitude. I don't know whether it was because I was moved by the deception, or because I have done a lot of things myself. In the end, I didn't need to lie to others.
Your true feelings have been revealed. It seems that your personal cultivation is not good enough. You should pay more attention to it in the future."
Wen Wen shook her head and said, "If this is considered a lie, everyone in the world would like to be deceived by you like this.
I think if you continue to lie like this a few more times, you might be able to deceive yourself into a saint."
"Hahaha..." The two looked at each other and smiled. There was no obscenity in their laughter, only indescribable heroism.
When it was getting dark, Zuo Chun, who had been inspecting the cotton spinning workshop all day, returned to Miyagi City exhausted.
The reason why he feels tired is because this workshop is too complicated for him.
Despite Yun Chu's detailed explanation and the reports from Yang Ying, Liu Tao, Liu Rui and other managers, Zuo Chun was still not confident enough to believe that he was qualified for the position of director of this workshop.
This workshop involves too many things that he doesn't understand, and until now, he still hasn't understood the operation process of the workshop.
Every evening at dusk, Li Zhi would stand on the Tai Chi Hall with a giant bear and overlook the entire Chang'an. He would listen to the heavy sound of dusk drums in his ears and look at the city gates, square gates, imperial city gates, and palace gates that were closed in sequence.
He would not return to his dormitory until the gates of Tai Chi Hall were pushed together by four warriors.
Today is no exception.
Zuo Chun had been here for a while, and the giant bear knew nothing about his arrival, but Li Zhi knew very well when Zuo Chun arrived.
"How?" Li Zhi's voice sounded on the platform, and was instantly blown away by the evening breeze.
"The old slave is not strong enough."
"Yunchu made things difficult for you, didn't you make it clear?"
"Yun Chu explained very clearly, without any reservations. He said everything that could be said and what could not be said. For fear that the old slave would have doubts, he also left three specialized talents for the old slave to drive him."
Li Zhi raised his foot and kicked Huaxiong, who was sleeping soundly. He looked at Zuo Chun and said, "In that case, why do you still say you are not strong enough?"
Zuo Chun said: "Your Majesty, the cotton textile workshop is very different from the workshop that this old slave knows. It can even be called exquisite.
If the old slave learns from scratch, he will be able to understand all the principles involved. However, the old slave already serves as the Baiqisi. If he puts too much energy into this workshop, it will affect the Baiqisi.
Therefore, the old slave boldly asks Your Majesty to select another talented person to take charge of the cotton textile workshop. Only in this way can we not delay the important tasks assigned by Your Majesty."
Li Zhi was very familiar with Zuo Chun, and he also knew that this person was definitely not someone who would give up easily. He had done countless difficult things before, but he didn't expect that a small textile workshop and women's trade would actually make him flinch.
heart of.
"is it hard?"
"I can't say it's difficult, I can only say it's very subtle. The old slave thinks that the entire workshop is equivalent to a running river. It looks the same when it encounters shoals, and it looks different when it encounters narrow places. When it comes to corners and calm places, there are special people.
The way to deal with it is not an ordinary workshop that is static."
Li Zhi glanced at Zuo Chun doubtfully and said, "So, I underestimated this workshop?"
Zuo Chun said quickly: "I don't dare, old slave."
Li Zhi coughed and said: "The profit of this workshop is the expense of running Baiqisi."
Zuo Chun was shocked, and immediately kowtowed on the ground and said: "Old slave, I will go back to the workshop right now. Even if I don't sleep, I will figure out the reason, and then let the workshop have a surplus as soon as possible so that I can expand the Baiqi Division."
Li Zhi chuckled, kicked the giant bear again, and went back to the palace surrounded by countless palace servants, eunuchs, and warriors hiding in the dark.
Overall, he was in a really good mood today.
