"Mr. Marquis, do you really have to cook tomorrow to make meals?"

In the reception room, a group of senior executives in the factory accompanied Chen Xu to drink tea, and the factory manager asked carefully.

"Of course, how can people speak without trust!" Chen Xu put down his teacup and nodded.

"Then...what ingredients do you need to prepare for subordinates?" The canteen manager asked nervously.

Chen Xu did not answer directly, but gently knocked on the coffee table with his finger and pondered slightly, and said: "The Silk Factory is a factory directly under the jurisdiction of Shaofu and the Ministry of Industry. It is a court enterprise with a name of Zhenggenhong. Shaofu and the Ministry of Industry allocate millions of dollars every year to maintain equipment and purchase raw silk cocoon silk and all employees' salary expenses. But this is not a long-term solution. In the future, the silk factory will inevitably become a self-profit and lose money. It must participate in commercial competition and circulation like all private silk factories in Daqin. Therefore, the quality of silk is the top priority, and the quality of silk is

The quality comes from whether the weaving girl's skills are exquisite and mature. As more and more large-scale textile factories in the country are newly built, the weaving girls we cultivate will become popular craftsmen. Now the salary of five or eight cents given to them every day cannot match their skills and abilities. In order to get their guidance, those textile factories will inevitably poach them at ten or even hundreds of times. This kind of thing will not be delayed for a long time, and there are even signs of this happening now. Have some weaving girls suddenly quit their jobs in the factory recently?"

Chen Xu looked at a group of managers in the factory.

"Yes, the Marquis said it well. From April and May to now, more than 30 older and skilled weaving girls have quit their jobs. I heard that they were invited by several newly built silk factories in Gaoyou, Tangyi and even Wuzhong. The salary is indeed very high. Those weaving girls are in charge of the management class, and we can't stop them!" The manager in charge of personnel management, wiping the sweat on his forehead, quickly answered.

"With the increase in silk factories, Wuyue and other places will become a very hot mulberry silkworm breeding and silk production base. In the next three to five years, the scale of looms in Hangzhou, Gusu, Guangling and other places may exceed 5,000, and the annual silk production will reach 2 million. With the promotion of small civil looms, the annual output of silk products in the country will exceed 3 million. This quantity far exceeds the demand of Shaofu. At that time, a large number of silk will be circulated and entered the market. The quantity will not only bring about saturation of the market, but also a decrease in price. But silk is different from ordinary linen after all, high costs will inevitably be under great pressure. All silk factories want to occupy the market more and will inevitably suppress prices..."

"Guangling Silk Factory and Hangzhou Silk Factory are leading enterprises supported by Benhou. They not only need to demonstrate the development of this large-scale textile industry, but also make more efforts and explorations in product quality and new product development. Currently, silk looms are all unified double-enhancing designs, and can only weave smooth and single weaving patterns and patterns. This product is easy to promote but has no characteristics. In the future, a large number of similar products will fill the market, and the price will inevitably not be too high. Therefore, my husband's requirement for you is to cultivate more and better weaving workers and develop more and better looms to weave more products with patterns and patterns. Jacquard machines are the future of the textile industry. Ordinary looms will only become equipment to meet the needs of the market. You have not used jacquard machines very much now, and throw them into the warehouse as decoration..."

"Good weavers, good machines, design and develop more colorful products, have always been at the forefront of the textile industry and occupy the highest end of the silk industry. This is what I have for your silk factory, not hoping that you will just seem busy every day but only care about producing the most ordinary silk. These products are not short of Qin, and what can you do with the private waist looms? "

"A piece of brocade is worth ten times that of silk, and a batch of silk is worth ten times that of silk yarn. In the past, to weave the most bright brocade, it may take the best weaving time for the weaving mother for more than a year, but now there is a jacquard machine, as long as it is designed properly, it can also be matched by the machine. This is the speed and charm of the machine, which is far from comparable to the textile methods in the past..."

"I am both happy and disappointed in the inspection today. What is glad that you are indeed diligent in strictly implementing the arrangements of the Ministry of Industry and Revenue Department at the time, and there is no mistake in the management and development of the factory, but I am actually even more disappointed..."

Chen Xu's eyes flashed across everyone's faces.

"The disappointment is that the experimental factory that I had high hopes for did not have any pioneering and enterprising ideas. I was repeating simple production and weaving day after day. This is not the result that I wanted to see. The two experimental jacquard machines in the warehouse are the key points you should pay attention to!"

Under Chen Xu's majestic gaze, a group of senior leaders of the Silk Factory shivered and lowered their heads, and beads of sweat dripped down their cheeks and noses.

"Mr. Marquis, the Silk Factory has only been preparing for four months. We have not yet understood the Marquis' good intentions. I hope the Marquis can give me some advice. My subordinates will definitely not disappoint the Marquis!" In the silence, the supervisor had to stand up and express his opinion tremblingly.

"Okay, I will give you some tips. You can select a group of outstanding talents with active thinking, innovative ideas and ideas from Weaver, and cooperate with craftsmen to set up a new product laboratory. This laboratory does not require output, but it must be unique in terms of silk products, etc. Even if it is the second most silk yarn, Weaver hopes to weave exquisite patterns and sell a high-quality silk on the market at that time. And we can also organize the smart Weaver to try some terminal products such as embroidery. Whether it is fabric or silk, the future market will be rich and diverse. Whoever grasps the initiative can easily make money, and those followers will always be able to eat the leftovers of the market..."

"Then go back to the topic just now, talents... are the only way for Guangling Silk Factory to seize the market opportunity in the future. If an excellent Weaver Mosaic can develop a good product, then once it is launched, it will inevitably bring a lot of money. Once the court orders to open up the silk market, you can survive well. Companies that stick to the rules and do not know how to be successful will not last long. The court will not care about you for the rest of your life. Your future is to take out the best products to compete with all silk factories in the world. Gold will be seen when the waves wash away the sand. I hope you can understand this most simple business principle."

"It's only a few months before, the best weaver in your factory has been leaving. This loss is huge. If you can't stop the loss in time and cannot see the signs in time to change, then when your products are not as good as those of other silk factories on the market, the Shaofu will inevitably close the silk factory or sell them. I wonder if these official positions of 5, 6, 7, 8, and 8 are still preserved?"

The room was extremely quiet, and only the heavy breathing of a few silk factory high-level buildings and the sound of sweat beads falling to the ground.

"From now on, we will promote more excellent weavers, separate their salary and benefits from ordinary weavers, experiment more on the jacquard machine, use different colors of raw silk to weave different colors and new products, and only with far-sighted vision can you see further and more stable. Remember, you are an experimental factory, and innovation is your top priority. Moreover, in order to retain more and better employees, in addition to increasing salary and benefits, you should also care more about their production and life, and do more welfare activities like today, so that they can have a psychological identity with the silk factory. Making good food to meet their dietary needs is also a good way. Don't you think the food in the cafeteria is really hard to eat?" Chen Xu's face twitched gently and picked up the teacup.

"What the Marquis said is that it is indeed very unpalatable. We started to eat it for a while, and then... and then we set up the logistics cafeteria alone, which tasted much better!" The supervisor stammered while wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"You want to eat well. After all, the laborers are different from those who work hard, and their status is different. But taking good care of the lives of employees is also your unshirkable responsibility. In the future, you must increase your investment in canteen food. Just satisfying the standards of three dishes and one soup according to the rules and regulations is not enough. You must also make the food as delicious as possible. If you continue with your current management methods, all the outstanding employees of your factory will leave and go to other textile factories to invest millions every year.

The capital will be wafted, let’s do it today. The Japanese Hou will personally cook to guide the chefs to make a meal. He will also set a more reasonable dietary standard for you. Not only does it need to increase the flavor, but it also needs to increase nutrition. The canteen logistics will buy 100 kilograms of river shrimp tomorrow morning. This afternoon, I have asked that a small river shrimp is abundant in nearby rivers and lakes. It is easy to catch, only one pound per pound. It tastes good whether it is fried or fried, and it can also replenish the nutrients needed by the body. Also, prepare 200 kilograms of silkworm pupa…”

"Silkworm pupa?" Everyone in the room looked up at Chen Xu in a glance.

"Marty, silkworm pupa... can silkworm pupa be eaten?" The logistics manager stammered.

"Silkworm pupae are not only edible, but also tastes very nutritious. But I warn you not to tell this matter!" Chen Xu put down the teacup and stood up to remind him.

"Don't worry, I will never say it out loud, vomit~" the supervisor couldn't help but retching when he nodded.

There are not many different counties in the southeast, but there are definitely many silkworm pupae.

Especially in Wu and Yue, mulberry trees and silkworms have been planted, raising, spinning and weaving silk for thousands of years. The silk pupae is worth tens of thousands of kilograms every year, because once the cocoons turn into moths, the silk will be broken and cannot be used for spinning. It can only be used for filling and making winter clothes and quilts. However, even as a filling object, it can only be enjoyed by nobles such as kings, princes, ministers, and nobles. The use of silk fabrics is prohibited by the people.

In order to prevent silkworm pupae from turning into cocoons, silkworm pupae will generally be exposed to the sun or boiled water within ten days after the silkworm becomes cocoons. The large number of silkworm pupae left after the silkworm is reeled are generally fed chickens, ducks and animals, or more, dumped and thrown away and fed wild birds and snakes and rats in the wild.

In Chen Xu's opinion, this was a waste, but he once asked some officials who planted mulberry and raised silkworms that southerners do not eat silkworm pupae.

Now this statement has been confirmed. Looking at the expressions of a group of silk factory officials, you will know that no one is willing to eat this kind of disgusting silkworm pupae.

Not eating does not mean that you cannot eat or are not delicious. Silkworm pupa, as a high-protein material, has higher nutritional value than eggs and contains a large amount of amino acids. Regular consumption can significantly improve the body's immune function. It not only nourishes qi and blood, regulates liver and kidneys, but also nourishes essence and strengthens yang. It is especially suitable for people with weak bodies, both men, women, and young and old.

I ate the meals in the staff canteen today. The food with low water can only be filled with a stomach full, and there is absolutely no so-called nutrition. Although the ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty are still in a state of only caring about food and clothing, under the conditions of this natural advantage, Chen Xu decided to use silkworm pupa to develop some dishes to provide to all faculty and staff. After eating it for a few months and a half, the physical fitness of these petite and thin Weaver Girl in the factory will definitely change greatly.

Of course, the premise is that they cannot know it quickly.

After all, this thing does look disgusting.
