Yi Zhixiang didn't expect that he had no intention of saying a word, but gave green tea an excellent advertisement, once these American and French businessmen tried, they would definitely vigorously promote, with the rapid development of the navigation industry, the sales of green tea will inevitably increase significantly, and when the British open lemon, green tea has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Wu Changqing had never heard that green tea could also prevent scurvy, and seeing that Yi Zhizhi did not hesitate to take Yuanqi's reputation as a guarantee, he naturally understood that this matter was not a matter of words, he was very puzzled, this guy was not Langzhong, and except for the missionary Bojia, he had never been in contact with Langzhong, how did he know that green tea could prevent scurvy? Moreover, he had never been to sea, so how did he know about scurvy?

Olive Fin, Wittmore, and Millers were all very excited to get a way to prevent scurvy, although it was not yet proven, but it was easy to know enough to guarantee Yuanqi's reputation, obviously not a joke, this was not only beneficial to themselves, but also reported to their own country's navy, and they might also get a lot of rewards.

The few people who saw it looked excited, and Yi Zhishu simply sent the Buddha to the west, and he smiled and said: "This year, when you return to the ship, I will give you a load of green tea for all the merchant ships, and you may wish to verify it with the crew on the ship." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yi, for your generosity." Oliphon hurriedly bowed his body, and Wittmore and Millers also hurriedly thanked him, and all three of them knew in their hearts that this was true nine times out of ten.

Yi Zhizu waved his hand, looked at Millers and said: "Even if tea can effectively prevent scurvy, it will not be able to change the French people's habit of not liking tea in a short period of time. Please also ask Mr. Millers to have a look at Xiguan. Of course. If there is really no satisfactory product, we can pay cash. ”

Guangzhou foreign trade, except for crows. Piece, the situation of paying foreign cash can be said to be rare, this is undoubtedly a sign of Yi Zhi's sincerity, Millers hurriedly thanked, and at the same time secretly relieved in his heart, there is an attitude of Yi Zhi's contentment. France's return to trade in Guangzhou can be said to be without suspense.

"Last year, severe economic crises erupted in the United States and England one after another." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "I believe that France and Europe will soon be affected, this will be an extremely serious, widespread, long-lasting economic crisis, although Guangzhou is tens of thousands of miles away, but it will not be affected."

The 13th Bank and Yuanqi Bank hope to adopt radical foreign trade with the United States and France to tide over this worldwide economic crisis, and warmly welcome the French merchant fleet to come to Guangzhou for trade ......"

The economic crisis broke out in the United States and England, and Millers naturally knew it. There are also concerns about spillover to France and the whole of Europe, but what is aggressive foreign trade? He was a little confused. However, Yi Zhixiang warmly welcomed France to come to Guangzhou to trade, and he heard it very clearly, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

When they met for the first time, Yi Zhishu naturally didn't talk deeply, as long as he showed the attitude and proper care of Thirteen Xing and Yuan Qi, and took a sip of tea. He got up and said, "Another day, there will be a banquet for Mr. Millers." ”

Shunde, Longjiang, Longjiang Machine Silk Reeling Factory.

The wide playground in front of the factory is full of silk reeling machines that have only been transported, and the factory is also busy, a large number of Chinese and foreign technicians are busy installing machines in the factory, looking at a busy scene, He Shutai, Wang Chaoyi and other Shunde silk merchants are smiling from ear to ear, no one expected that this month actually sent 600 silk reeling machines,

Escorting the machine to Longjiang is the second child of the Wu family who is the same as Shunxing, Wu Yundong, nicknamed the big-eyed boy, everyone who saw it was delighted, he smiled and said: "The big shopkeeper said that he can send 800 machines over next month, and it will gradually increase every month in the future, and told the construction progress of Longshan Machine Silk Reeling Factory to speed up." ”

Wang Chaoyi hurriedly smiled and said: "Please also ask Wu Gongzi to return to the big shopkeeper, Longshan Machine Silk Reeling Factory is already ready for everything, only the east wind is owed." As he spoke, he looked at He Shutai and said, "Brother Zi'an, next month there will be 800 machines, and recruiting female workers can no longer be as shy as a little daughter-in-law when she sees her in-laws, it's time to recruit with great fanfare." ”

"That's right." Several silk merchants hurriedly chimed in: "It takes time to train skilled female workers, but we can't afford to delay. ”

Hearing this, Wu Yundong said with a smile: "I forgot, before leaving, the big shopkeeper said that the recruitment of female workers has been blown with the governors." ”

"It's still the thoughtfulness of the big shopkeeper." He Shutai said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then recruit female workers with great fanfare, go to the town and the county seat to post notices, and Longjiang recruits a large number of female silk reeling workers, with a monthly salary of four yuan." ”

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

As soon as the notice of Longjiang and Longshan machine silk reeling factories recruiting a large number of female workers was publicly posted, it caused a sensation in the whole Shunde in less than two days, and the recruitment of female workers was a new thing, but what attracted people's attention was the monthly money of four yuan, which was forty-eight yuan of oceans this year, and the vast majority of families could not earn half of this amount all year round, how could it not cause a sensation?

When the news reached Guangzhou, Yi Zhishu immediately instructed Pan Shiming to publish this notice in the "Xiguan Weekly", and the whole Guangzhou was also a sensation, with restaurants and teahouses, merchant halls and clubs, streets and alleys, and wharf inns everywhere.

Machine silk reeling factory, silk reeling women, female workers' wages, women's jobs, etc. have become a hot topic for a while, and it is really unheard of to give women such a high salary, but the silk merchants in Longjiang Longshan are also famous, it is impossible to joke, some people believe it, and some people don't believe it.

A group of silk merchants - silk merchants and silk merchants from Hainan, Xiangshan, Sanshui and other counties and other provinces, they all felt incredible when they understood the situation of silk reeling, and the first thought was that the silk merchants in Longjiang and Longshan were crazy! How much silk can a silk reeling lady reel in a year? Twenty pounds, thirty pounds, this is just enough to pay the female workers to start work, isn't this crazy?

After careful inquiry, I learned that the Longjiang Machine Silk Reeling Factory has been in production for more than a month, and is constantly expanding the scale, and there are already seven or eight hundred silk reeling machines, I heard that it is a French silk reeling machine, and it is also driven by a steam engine.

When the news spread, a group of silk merchants couldn't sit still, and sent people to Longjiang Longshan to inquire about the specific situation, and they were keenly aware that the machine silk reeling factory that could open such a high price for the female silk reeling workers was definitely not simple, and it was likely to bring significant or even unexpected changes to the silk reeling and even to the entire silk weaving industry!

It's not just silk merchants who can't sit still, almost all businessmen from all walks of life are moved, how profitable is the machine silk reeling factory that can open four oceans a month for silk reeling women? Is this a loss-making business, or is it really a profit, a machine silk reeling factory with a scale of seven or eight hundred people, how big does it have to be? (To be continued.) )
