Businessmen are more profitable and more shrewd.

They are all people of insight who have traveled south and north, knowing that textiles are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, porcelain is in Jiangxi, and tea is in Fujian.

Leizhou wants to open a port to engage in textiles, which is completely foolish. Not to mention the investment in the construction of Leizhou wharf, the construction of cotton producing areas, the training of weavers, the construction of looms, etc., all require a long period of time, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

The most important thing is that Guangzhou Mansion already has a certain textile industry foundation, why waste time in Leizhou Mansion? Who would be so stupid and choose to build a textile workshop in this weak foundation of Leizhou Mansion, isn't this a death?

Although the idea was very good, it was absolutely impossible for them to be stupid enough to invest the silver taels they had earned over the years here, so at the same time that Lin Haoran proposed the idea, they had already decided to vote with their feet.

It's just that in the face of this new star of officialdom in the Ming Dynasty and the future leader of the Guangdong Township Party, they naturally didn't dare to turn around and leave, nor did they dare to complain in person, but maintained a polite smile and continued to "visit", but their hearts were full of disdain and contempt.

The east room of this workshop is not large, about 100 square meters, and more than 30 looms are neatly placed on both sides. In front of each loom sat a weaver, all of whom were weaving cloth earnestly, making a weaving sound that was a little noisy.

Twenty or thirty businessmen walked in together, but they didn't know whether they were bored or curious, but they also looked at everything around them.

"These weavers weave so fast!"

"I've seen a lot of exquisite weavers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but none of them are so fast!"

"You're wrong, it's not that they're fast, it's impossible for people to be so fast, right...... Loom! ”

……

The eyes of the merchants were gradually drawn to the unusualness of this weaving workshop, where the looms weave cloth at an incredible speed.

A piece of cotton cloth, in addition to cotton and other raw materials, there is also the weaver's expenses.

In particular, a skilled worker in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is paid a huge amount of two per month. But even with such a high monthly income, some places may not be able to hire people, because these skilled weavers are fast and are sought after by various weaving workshops.

If a workshop has 40 looms, and the average weaver can produce 100 pieces of cloth per month, while a skilled weaver can produce 200 pieces of cloth per month, the value of a skilled weaver is several times higher than that of an ordinary weaver.

But how can they not be shocked that such a strange loom alone has made the average weaver weaver several times faster, far faster than the highly sought-after weavers?

After discovering this, the attitude of these businessmen straightened up, and their expressions became solemn. Carefully examine this strange loom, trying to see through the mystery.

"The mystery seems to be on this beating shuttle!"

"Yes, normal shuttles are stationary, but this shuttle can beat!"

"That's right! Have you noticed, this beating shuttle also saves a manpower! ”

……

More than a dozen merchants gathered in front of a loom, and soon discovered the abnormality of the shuttle, and each expressed his opinion, and his face showed shock.

Some people stared at the shuttle that beat like an elf, and their eyes followed the shuttle. It's just that Aunt Cuihua, who operates the weavers, deliberately weaves faster and makes the shuttle dance more happily as if she deliberately went against them.

Lin Haoran witnessed all this, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his face showed a sense of confidence.

This is why he dared to take over the responsibility of opening the sea, with this shuttle technology, can make the textile industry of Leizhou Mansion from scratch, and even quickly become the textile center of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't underestimate the driving force of loom technology for regional development, there is a precedent for this kind of thing.

Songjiang Mansion was able to become the largest cotton weaving center in the Ming Dynasty, but it benefited from one person - Huang Daopo.

Huang Daopo was born in poverty, and went to Yazhou, the capital of Qiongzhou, at a young age, and learned from the Li people how to use tools to weave Yazhou quilts. He returned to his hometown during the Yuan Dynasty and lived in Wunijing Town, east of Songjiang Mansion.

She began to teach people how to make cotton here, teaching and promoting textile techniques such as cotton gins, cotton bows, spinning wheels and looms, so that Wunijing was famous all over the world and widely spread throughout the country.

It was Huang Daopo who spread the textile tools and techniques, which made Songjiang Province the largest cotton weaving center.

In view of this, when Lin Haoran was in the capital, he decided to make a fuss about the upgrading of looms, intending to introduce shuttle technology that changed the textile industry and build Leizhou Mansion into a new cotton weaving center in Daming.

The shuttle is not complicated, in fact, there is an extra chute in the shuttle, and the two ends of the chute are equipped with springs, so that the shuttle can complete the passage very quickly, so that the cotton thread can achieve warp and weft staggering, which greatly improves the efficiency.

The biggest problem here is the spring, but those exquisite craftsmen of the Daming Ministry of Industry are very powerful and help him solve this core problem, so that his vision can be realized.

Now that the shuttle loom has been successfully launched, as long as it is operated properly and these businessmen are involved, Leizhou Bubiyang can become famous all over the world and become a new cotton spinning center.

Once the cotton spinning industry chain can be formed, then his construction of Leizhou wharf will become a source of water, which can completely promote Leizhou cloth to overseas markets, and his important task of opening the sea will also be realized.

A beautiful woman covered in white veil also walked into the workshop, standing nobly and dignified beside a loom, her eyes like autumn water falling on the beating shuttle, and her eyes also revealed a strangeness and a sense of relief.

At this moment, all the mysteries in her heart were solved. It was because of this technology that this man took over the important task of opening the sea for the imperial court, and it was also the basis for him to dare to return to Leizhou Mansion to serve as the prefect and the city's director.

It's just that she still feels puzzled, this man has done a great job of writing and poetry, why can he still improve the loom, and still have such a great business acumen?

She didn't even dare to imagine that if she allowed this man to develop and grow, this wealth would accumulate and not count, and it would probably be a sure thing to enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister in the future.

Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps shock, Mrs. Jiang's gaze boldly fell on Lin Haoran. It's just that when her eyes fell on him, her body trembled slightly, and this man still had a good skin.

Although Lin Haoran's figure is thin and thin, he has fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and a delicate appearance, which conforms to the definition of a beautiful man in this era. Especially those eyes full of confidence, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, look particularly attractive at the moment.
