In ancient societies where farming and weaving were the main industry, no one could refuse the charm of the large water conservancy spinning wheel.
After learning about the purpose and efficacy of the big spinning wheel, the visitors were either bright-eyed or surprised and disbelieving. However, without exception, they all gathered around the big spinning wheel and carefully observed every step of the big spinning wheel with their eyes wide open.
Details of the operation of the components.
After seeing dozens of strands of silk threads being spun successfully at the same time, the exclamations from these people's mouths came one after another and lasted for a long time.
"This large spinning wheel is the ingenuity of skilled craftsmen from the South. It is located near a rapid stream. Each wheel can make more than thirty spindles. The flow is constant and the labor is endless. More than a hundred kilograms of yarn can be spun every day, and the work is ten times better than human power!"
Seeing that the crowd was attracted here, Li Tai also smiled and introduced the origin and working efficiency of this big spinning wheel. He did not take the credit for this creation as himself, but laid it on the Southern Dynasties craftsmen, production technology
The circulation can also promote the integration of people from the north and the south.
After everyone heard this, they all sighed and said: "The southerners are so skillful and their craftsmanship is really good! If such a heavy weaving tool could be spread all over the world, how many frozen disciples could be protected!"
After sighing with emotion, some people rushed to speak and asked how much investment would be needed if they wanted to rent or set up such a large spinning wheel for textile production?
Facing the crowd's inquiries, Li Tai just waved his hands and said with a smile: "Although this big spinning wheel saves manpower and has great achievements, it consumes a lot of water power. Once it is allowed to be built in the countryside, the rivers and canals will be destroyed."
Congestion seriously harms the foundation of farming! Therefore, only the state capital can measure the water power and build canals on rivers where they are cheap..."
The reason why he did not promote large spinning wheels in Guanzhong was, firstly, because water resources in Guanzhong were relatively scarce, and secondly, his voice in Guanzhong was still not high enough to effectively control the expansion of production scale.
But today's Jingzhou General Administration is like his one-spoken office. Everything within the thirty-six states under its jurisdiction can be decided with one word. Of course, it can systematically plan production and promote it without harming agricultural facilities such as rivers and canals.
Application of large spinning wheels.
When everyone heard that private citizens were not allowed to erect this amazingly effective spinning wheel, they felt cold and disappointed. However, Li Tai's next words soon gave them hope again: "The reason why the state government exclusively uses this spinning wheel is
Of course, it is not to compete for profits with the people, but to protect the foundation of farming.
However, if the textile family cannot benefit from this, it will inevitably fail to realize the merits of this artifact. Although the people cannot spin with it, they can weave with it. Today, there are tens of thousands of registered households under the rule of the General Manager, and there are many people who are good at weaving, but
If you can get a loom on credit, you can keep weaving..."
The investment and production model adopted by Li Tai here is also the investment and production model that has been running within the Qumeng for several years, but now the promotion level is wider, no longer limited to households on both sides of the Luoshui River, but also under the jurisdiction of the entire Jingzhou General Administration
In the Thirty-six Prefectures, investors are no longer limited to members of the Qu League, but all local powerful people in Guanzhong and Jingzhou.
Through the high efficiency and low cost of large spinning wheels, relatively cheap large amounts of yarn can be obtained, and then centralized large-scale production can be organized, thus bringing profound changes in production efficiency and production methods to the entire textile industry.
In troubled times, a strong army and strong horses are the only way to protect yourself and progress, and the prerequisite for a strong army and strong horses is to fully integrate and utilize the various resources you have.
Qumeng's textile production model has brought considerable benefits to the powerful people involved, so many people in Guanzhong have heard about it even if they are not involved.
Although these powerful people also maintain a large number of weavers in their respective families, silk cloth is just like food, a basic daily consumable, and it can also be used as currency in all directions. Naturally, the more the better.
Some people even thought of investing a sum of money in the early stage to build hundreds of looms, and then gradually participate in other investment opportunities in Jingzhou through the profits from these looms. Through this kind of profit reinvestment
In this way, I am afraid that it will not take many years to have a considerable family business in Jingzhou!
Therefore, the investment enthusiasm of the masses was instantly aroused, and everyone enthusiastically pledged to invest. Soon the number of pledges exceeded the 50,000 mark, but the enthusiasm of the masses to invest has not diminished. Some people pledged to invest because they were too conservative in the early stage.
The quantity was too small, and when I saw how enthusiastic the crowd was, I was in a hurry to invest more.
Li Taize quickly waved his hand to stop recording. Fifty thousand looms means fifty thousand skilled weavers in their prime. Although the number of residents in the General Manager's Office has increased significantly since last year, if it specifically refers to adult women who are good at weaving,
Conditions, this quantity is still far beyond the scale that the General Administration can currently control and organize for production.
Although the amount of investment that can be attracted is very attractive, Li Tai also knows that he cannot become a big fat man with one bite.
So he could only act like a little scumbag who loves to flirt but is hard to quench his lust. He faced everyone's resentful eyes and said that the plan of the General Manager's Office was limited and he could only accept an investment share of 10,000 looms, and that was a one-person investment.
The amount cannot exceed one hundred frames.
Everyone present was greatly disappointed when they heard this. They used to hate the government asking for money from them, but now they are rushing to send money to the government but are turned away. This feeling is equally unpleasant.
However, despite being disappointed, they still hold on to hope, because there is still half of the exhibition park on the other side of Xianshui River, and there may be more profitable investment opportunities in it.
Seeing that everyone was eager to cross the river to visit other investment projects, Li Tai felt happy in his heart.
The design and layout of this park can be said to be well versed in human psychology. First, various fashion exhibitions will arouse the minds of visitors, and then investment opportunities such as papermaking and dyeing will be appetizers.
I started investing with the mentality that there was no harm in giving it a try. Then the big spinning wheel completely aroused people's interest, but in the end, it used a method of covering the market and limiting investment to make people disappointed and couldn't wait to give up.
Just looking at the expressions and moods of the people in front of me, it is obvious that they are different from when they first entered the park, at least they are no longer as calm and rational as before.
However, the subsequent arrangements of the park did not disappoint these people. It can be said that there are waves of excitement coming, which makes people feel physically and mentally happy and breathtaking.
In order to make this investment fair more successful, Li Tai even moved out everything he owns from the bottom of the box, such as essence extraction and soap making, and a series of crafts that his family has been operating for a long time, and now they are all on display in the park.
Come out and let people watch.
If these industries continue to be kept secret and operated monopolistically, they will be able to add some money to his family.
But for Li Tai today, even if pure money and possessions are not different from dung, if it cannot reach a quantity that is enough to cause qualitative change, it actually does not mean much. Even if he has no worries about food and clothing, If you still want to pass on a family business to your descendants, what family business can be as good as Tianxia Sheji?
Of course, the reason why Li Tai is so generous is actually due to the trade with Jiangling. Jiangling has surpassed Mianbei in terms of commercial development and handicraft production. Even if the Handong area has been occupied by the Jingzhou General Administration, it still cannot be compared with Jiangling. Significant advantages.
If the Jingzhou General Administration wants to obtain considerable profits from mutual trade, it must have flagship products with higher profits and better market response.
Naturally, Li Tai could not imitate the unscrupulous practices of later generations of immoral and smoking shit-stirrers. As the raw material origin and production scale of white sugar could not be greatly expanded, these luxury industries of his own were undoubtedly the best to cater to the needs of the people. Commodities of the nobles and nobles of the Nanliang gentry.
And even if the people in Jiangnan are now in dire straits, the purchasing power of the powerful people in Jiangling has not been greatly affected. When the one-eyed dragon opened the forum to lecture on the "Tao Te Ching", everyone would bathe and change clothes at home with soap, spray some perfume, and then Sitting around and listening to the lecture, it smells delicious, very fragrant!
Such a large amount of cross-border trade cannot be satisfied by the limited output of Li Tai's own workshop, so it is natural to attract funds and expand production.
These products have long been synonymous with high-end luxury in Guanzhong. When these powerful people in Guanzhong learned that they only needed to invest some capital to obtain the corresponding technology and join in production, they were immediately excited and pledged their investment one after another. The regret of not investing heavily in looms before was compensated at this moment.
In fact, for similar production, as long as you understand the process flow and operating skills, both labor and raw material costs are relatively limited.
But Li Tai still set a very high investment amount. Although he no longer engages in monopoly production, it is reasonable to charge patent fees. And things that are too cheap will not be valued and rare, and extremely high investment costs can Make sure that these powerful players involved do not engage in price wars in order to compete for market share. After all, this is a very important foreign trade commodity. Once the market goes bad, it will have international consequences!
As for the white sugar processing skills, Li Tai did not display them at this investment fair. Firstly, good things cannot be released all at once. Secondly, he still needs white sugar to exert its strategic united front value, so the craftsmanship still needs to be Keep it confidential.
