On the banks of Santai River, yards are lined up one after another. Each yard covers a wide area and has similar buildings. Especially, there are several water trucks running on the side of the river, lifting the river water into the high water storage tank.

There is an outlet at the bottom of the water storage tank, and water flows out along the pipes, and then pushes many water wheels to rotate. With the power of the water wheels to rotate, many hydraulic textile machines are operating in different ways.

First, the spinning wheel spins raw materials such as hemp and kale into a thread of an inscription, and then the textile worker puts the thread of the inscription on the loom to weave it into cloth. The water wheel keeps turning, and the spinning wheel and the loom are constantly operating.

There is a person guarding each spinning wheel and loom next to the loom, including men and women, and women are wearing headscarves and wrapping a black hair tightly to prevent it from being scattered out and being stirred by the running textile machine.

Whether men and women wear uniform clothes and trousers, narrow mouths and narrow sleeves, they also avoid being mixed up by running textile machines. There are many textile machines in the wide room, with uniform styles and neatly arranged.

Amid the rumbling sound of running, Li Fang stood outside the room, looking at the busy scene through the window. At the door of the warehouse next to him, workers were checking the newly weaved plain cloth and transported it to the warehouse next to him.

"The boss, the dyeing shop is here to urge you, waiting for the cloth."

"When will the cloth be handed over?"

"The spinning wheel and the loom are constantly turning. As long as there is no problem, you can hand it over tomorrow."

“Is the new machine usable?”

"The boss, it will take another three days and is now debugging."

"Those debuggers are better to entertain, don't neglect them."

"The young man knows that as before, he will never neglect those masters."

Li Fang nodded when he heard this. Spinning wheels and looms are money-making treasures. One more unit will have more income. Although their running sounds are noisy, they sound very pleasant to him.

As that said, it is as intoxicating as the sound of printing money by the money printing machine.

Of course, copper coins were cast. Li Fang didn't know what "printing money" was, nor did he know what the "money printing machine" meant, but he knew that as long as the machine turned, it meant that the copper coins were ringing continuously.

That was the sound of copper coins falling into his cash box. The hydraulic spinning wheel and loom can run day and night, so the copper coins also pour in like running water.

A hydraulic spinning wheel can spin nearly 100 kilograms of hemp in one day and night. A spinning wheel can support the output of thirty households. Then the threads are then spun with looms that run day and night to weave a large amount of high-quality and low-priced fabrics.

The cost per piece of cloth is actually 30% lower than that on the market, and the quality is significantly better, so there is no need to worry about selling it at all.

Li Fang came to the warehouse and looked at the cloth that had just been registered. He had not been stored for a long time and was transported to a nearby dyeing workshop to dye cloth of various colors. Then he loaded the ship at a small wharf outside the river bank and transported it to the downstream Ba**pay merchant to complete the transaction.

Many ships followed the Santai River and came to this section of river where the cloth yards gathered, unloading the Ge and Ma purchased from Shannan Prefecture County. The Santai River, which was still deserted at the time, is now ships flowing everywhere.

As a big family member who followed Yu Wen Wen, Duke of Zhu, Li Fang is now developed. He did not invest money in a bookstore but opened a cloth shop. This was also a decision based on the choice given by Yu Wen Wen.

If the Duke of Zhu asked him to do any business, everyone would do that business and share the bigger and bigger soup together, and they all ate it all over the place.

Bookstores and cloth shops are now hot business, and Li Fang does not feel any regrets that he can't get two things at the same time. It doesn't matter if the money is more or less. The key is to keep up with Duke Luo.

If you say that malicious competition is not allowed or that you want to set the rules, then follow it. No one dares to disobey it. The rebellious fools were the best example, and those who followed Duke Zhu are now getting more and more prosperous.

Quarries and logging farms are still prosperous nowadays. The river embankment in Huangzhou has been completed, but other states have also begun to build embankments.

This is a decision made by General Manager Yuwen, which is very beneficial to the people. It can also reclaim a large amount of wasteland and provide sufficient cheap stones. Why not do the governors of each state?

The profits of hydraulic textiles have long made the big players in various places look red. If the embankment is repaired, they can use hydraulic power to textiles with confidence like local fabric shops in Huangzhou.

The premise is that you can figure out the world in the hydraulic spinning wheel and loom!

Everyone wants to know the secrets and structure of hydraulic textile machines, but no one can get the secret from any Huangzhou Bufang. Everyone is strictly guarding the situation. They don’t think about it when they are forced. They can only use soft ones, but this is not easy to use.

As someone who is very close to Yuwen Wen, Li Fang knew some secrets that others didn't know. The shopkeepers of Daxingtai could get cloth for a price, so they were too lazy to pay attention. The Xiangzhou general manager Yu Wenming also cooperated with Yuwen Wen. The elder brother also bought goods from his younger brother for a price.

Neither of these two got the secret, as for the others, haha.

On the southern part of Shannan, other people want to know the secret without Yuwen Wen’s consent, that is a delusion!

The bell of Dangdang rang, bringing Li Fang back to reality from his reverie. He heard someone ringing the bell and shouting at the top of his voice: "It's time to hand over!"

Looking up, I saw the big wall clock hanging in a conspicuous place. The hand pointed at exactly twelve o'clock. This was the time for handover. The textile workers in the previous shift "get off work" and the textile workers in the next shift had already finished their meal in advance and then "go to work".

At 18 o'clock in the afternoon, it was another shift change time. The weaver on the night shift started to weave all night until the shift was handed over at midnight. The next shift was "6 o'clock" the next morning.

Li Fang's cloth shop divides textile workers into four shifts, and they work "four shifts" every day. People stop but spinning wheels and looms are constantly stopped, because every minute is precious, not only here, but other cloth shops are the same.

Seeing the textile workers handing over the shift, Li Fang signaled the supervisor to keep a close eye on it, don’t let the machine run a problem, and don’t let people sting and be lazy. Looking at the huge wall clock, Li Fang reminded:

"You should pay attention to oiling and maintenance. It doesn't matter if it breaks down. If it doesn't look at time, it will cause trouble!"

"Yes, boss."

The clock is a good thing. Workers rely on the clock to and from get off work to control the time. Whether it is cloth shops, dye shops, book shops, and various workshops, it is really convenient for the owner to pinch the clock and deduct wages from the wages.

Li Fang was in a daze in the yard, and waited for a while and looked at the wall clock again. He became a little impatient. He asked a servant who was running over at a small step, "Have you arrived?"

"It's here. The boat from the boss and Zheng Dong's family have just landed. The boat has just been queuing up at the mouth of the river for a while recently."

"It's all ten minutes late." Li Fang was a little helpless. The concept of time is now only available to merchants in Huangzhou.

We can't blame others, as Li Fang and others were the same a few years ago. After all, when we used "carving" as a reference, we agreed that the time was all about a certain day, a certain moment, and there was no "minute" that had ever been there.

With his clothes tied up, Li Fang led his entourage to the gate, and several well-dressed men were walking towards him in the distance.

"Brother Li!"
