Chapter 223 Big fanfare

Yi Zhizu didn't expect that he had no intention of saying a word, but gave a great advertisement for Green Tea. Once these American and French merchants tried, they would definitely promote it vigorously. With the rapid development of the navigation industry, the sales of green tea will inevitably increase significantly. By the time the British made the public lemon, green tea had already become popular.

Wu Changqing had never heard of green tea that can prevent scurvy. Seeing Yixie, he took Yuanqi's reputation as a guarantee without hesitation. Naturally, he understood that this was not a silence. He was very puzzled. This guy was not a doctor, and except for the missionary Bo Jia, he had never been with the doctor. How did he know that green tea can prevent scurvy and, he had never been out of the sea, how did he know that scurvy

Olivern, Wetmore, and Millers were all very excited when they accidentally got a way to prevent scurvy. Although it has not been proven, Yi Zhi was enough to guarantee Yuanqi's reputation, which was obviously not a joke. This is not only beneficial to them, but also reported to their own country's navy, and may also receive considerable rewards.

The few people who saw him were excited, Yi Zhizu simply sent the Buddha to the west. He smiled and said, "I will give you a tuition of green tea for all merchant ships. You may as well verify it with the crew on the ship."

"Thank you Mr. Yi for your generosity." Oliffen quickly bowed and said, "Witmore and Milles hurriedly thanked him." The three of them knew in their hearts that this was true.

Yi Zhizu waved his hand and looked at Milles and said, "Even if tea can effectively prevent scurvy, it will not change the French people's habit of not drinking tea in a short period of time. The Qing Dynasty has rich products and will not lack trade goods. Please ask Mr. Milles to take a look at more in Xiguan. Of course, if there is really no satisfactory commodity, we can pay the cash."

In Guangzhou's foreign trade, apart from opium, it is rare to pay foreign cash bank. This statement undoubtedly shows Yishi's sincerity, and Milles hurriedly thanked him. At the same time, he felt relieved. With Yishi's attitude, France's return to Guangzhou trade can be said to be without suspense.

"Last year, serious economic crises broke out in the United States and Britain." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "I believe France and Europe will be affected soon. This will be an extremely serious, widely affected and long-lasting economic crisis. Although Guangzhou is tens of thousands of miles away, it cannot avoid being affected.

Thirteen Banks, Yuanqi Bank hopes to adopt radical foreign trade with the United States and France to overcome this global economic crisis, and warmly welcome the French merchant fleet to come to Guangzhou for trade.

When the economic crisis broke out in the United States and Britain, Millers naturally knew that it would affect France and the entire Europe. However, he was a little confused about what radical foreign trade was, but Yi Zhizu warmly welcomed France to come to Guangzhou for trade. He heard it very clearly and quickly expressed his gratitude.

When we first met, Yi Zhizu naturally would not have a deep conversation. Just show the attitude of Shisanxing and Yuanqi and the appropriate care. After drinking a sip of tea, he stood up and said, "There will be a special banquet for Mr. Milles."

Shunde, Longjiang, Longjiang Machine Wire Reel Factory.

The wide stadium in front of the factory was full of silk reeling machines that had just been transported. The factory was also busy, with a large number of Chinese and foreign technicians busy installing machines in the factory. Looking at the busy scene, He Shutai, Wang Chaoyi and other Shunde silk merchants were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop. No one expected that this month, they would send 600 silk reeling machines.

The person who escorted the machine to Longjiang was the second son of the Wu family who was nicknamed Big Eyed Boy. Everyone looked happy when they saw it. He smiled and said, "The shopkeeper said that he would send 800 machines next month. It will gradually increase every month from now on, and he reminded the construction progress of Longshan Machine Wire Reeling Factory to be accelerated."

Wang Chaoyi smiled and said, "Young Master Wu also asks you to report back to the shopkeeper. Longshan Machine Wire Reel Factory is ready for everything, but the east wind is in the east." As he said, he looked at He Shutai and said, "Brother Zi'an, there will be another 800 machines next month. Recruiting female workers can no longer be as shy as a young wife sees her parents-in-law. It's time to recruit them with great fanfare."

"That's right." Several silk merchants quickly agreed: "Training skilled female workers requires time, but they can't afford to delay."

After hearing this, Wu Yundong smiled and said, "I forgot that before leaving, the shopkeeper said that the recruitment of female workers has already blown away with the governors and governors."

"It's still the boss who thought carefully." He Shutai smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then recruit female workers with great fanfare and post notices from the town and county town. Longjiang recruits a large number of female workers with silk reeling, with a monthly payment of four yuan."

"It's not just Longjiang, but Longshan." Wang Chaoyi quickly added: "I have to recruit female workers for training first."

As soon as the notice of the Longjiang Machinery Wire Reeling Factory recruiting a large number of female workers was posted publicly, it caused a sensation in Shunde in less than two days. Recruiting female workers is a new thing, but what attracts attention is the monthly money of four yuan. This year is 48 yuan. Most families and children cannot earn half of this amount in a year. How can they not cause a sensation?

When the news reached Guangzhou, Yi Zhizu immediately ordered Pan Shiming to publish this notice in the Xiguan Weekly newspaper, and the whole of Guangzhou was immediately sensational, including wine shops, teahouses, shopping malls, streets, alleys, and docks.

Machine wire reeling factories, female silk reeling workers, female workers’ wages, women’s work, etc. have all become hot topics for a while. It is unheard of to pay women such high wages, but the silk merchants in Longshan, Longjiang are also famous and cannot be joked. Some believe it, and some don’t.

A group of silk merchants in Hainan, Xiangshan, Sanshui and other counties and other counties and other provinces felt incredible when they understood the situation of silk reeling. The first idea was that the silk merchant in Longshan, Longjiang was crazy. How many silk reeling female workers could reel about 20 kilograms a year? This was just enough to pay for female workers to start working. Isn’t this crazy? What is it?

After careful investigation, I learned that Longjiang Machine Wire Reeling Factory has been in production for more than a month and is constantly expanding its scale. There are already seven or eight hundred wire reeling machines. I heard that it is French wire reeling machines, and it is driven by steam engines.

The news spread, and a number of silk merchants could no longer sit still and sent people to Longshan, Longjiang to find out the specific situation. They all keenly realized that it is definitely not easy to offer such high working price to female silk reeling workers. It is likely to bring major or even unexpected changes to silk reeling and even the entire silk weaving industry.

It is not only silk merchants who can't sit still, but almost all trades are tempted by it. How big is it to be able to open a machine silk reel factory worth four yuan a month for female silk reeling workers? Is it a loss to make money or a real profit? How big is it to be continued with a machine silk reeling factory with a scale of 700 or 800 people.
