Empires Start with Lords

Two days have passed since the highway was built 100 meters away.

During this period, Ross looked at it several times, and after finding that there was no problem, he let the workers continue to build the road and went to the next factory.

Ross has opened a lot of factories, but only two have actually started.

One of them is responsible for weaving. The female workers in the factory used the Jenny weaving machine designed and manufactured by Ross, which can spin seven textiles at one time, which means that the usual spinning speed has been increased by seven times, so it has become a The most profitable textile factory.

In addition, in this world, textiles are still very expensive, especially finer clothes and supplies, which cost a lot of money to buy.

But since the construction of this Jenny loom, Ross's textile factory originally had only 80 female workers, but later recruited 200 directly.

As for wages, the monthly settlement is based on the number of pieces.

For example, in a textile factory in Philadelphia, a finished textile product is one-third of a copper coin, but it takes nearly eighteen hours to complete a finished product.

In this way, you can only get one silver coin a month at most, which is not even enough to buy and consume in Philadelphia.

This is equivalent to some of the people Ross encountered in his previous life who had a salary of less than 1,000, but still worked in second-tier cities.

Most of them are quite helpless. After all, although textiles are very expensive, the raw materials of textiles are expensive, and the wages of labor are not even 1% of a piece of textiles.

The reason why labor costs are so cheap, Ross believes that there is no technical threshold for textiles, is that if a more careful lady can do it, of course men can also.

However, the finished products produced are generally not as good as women's. No matter which world they are in, it seems that women are fully equipped with the skill of weaving.

The same is true for women in the world where Ross lives, even more so.

Ross still maintains the price in Philadelphia and other cities and towns, and a finished product is a third of a copper coin.

Hearing this price, almost everyone who came here with hope had the idea of ​​leaving.

After all, Ross's territory requires at least three silver coins for a month's salary. It is different from the cruel environment outside. Although it is not the most developed city in the kingdom, it is the most stable city.

So many people came with the mentality of giving it a try.

It was not until Ross unhurriedly took out a Jenny weaving machine, installed it with wooden boards and some rare other materials, and demonstrated it by himself, which surprised these ladies.

They watched Ross's fluent manipulation, and it took less than three hours to completely spin this batch of goods with a dozen uncomplicated steps outside the factory.

And not one piece of textiles at a time, but seven pieces of textiles are woven at one time, and the quality of the texture is quite good!

"My God, how did you do it!"

When a lady exclaimed like this, she was gently interrupted by Ross.

"Ma'am, please look this way. Her name is Jenny Textile Machine. It is a light industrial product that can spin seven pieces of textiles at one time."

Since the first Jenny spinning machine in history was still hand-cranked, it did not require many complicated steps.

And it is not only very convenient, but also can greatly improve the production efficiency. After the one-time spinning yarn is improved by Ross, it can be spun seven times more efficiently.

The most important thing is that the Jenny spinning machine does not require much production technology. Its production process and concept are very simple, and the most used is wood.

Ross spent five days by himself and made a veritable Jenny spinning machine from the drawings.

"Industry? What do you mean?"

The ladies said with a bit of confusion.

Most of them are housewives. Generally, the dirty and tiring work of making money is left to the men in the family. From ancient times to the present, men are mainly responsible for going outside to maintain a living, and the complicated and trivial things in the family need to be left to the careful ones. women.

But these women didn't want to see their husbands too busy, so they used their spare time to come to Rose to find a job that suits them.

Apparently, spinning is the best thing women can think of.

"Industry..."

Ross thought for a while, but didn't know how to explain it to these ladies who didn't use the concept of industry and productivity. He simply shook his head and waved his hand: "It's just a bunch of gears rolling around."

After doing all this, Ross came to another factory today.

The assembly of the first steam engine is now. Yesterday, Ross realized that the materials for the key parts of the steam engine have been assembled, and now only the workers can learn to assemble the steam engine.

Ross first saw a few workers busy, installing pistons. Although the pistons were not as soft as those of the previous life, they were barely able to provide power through steam.

On the other side of the factory, a boiler that can boil hot water and produce steam has been prepared~www.readwn.com~ The boiler is a complete semi-circular shape that is knocked out by a dozen workers with a hammer little by little. , similar to the cauldron Ross used as a child.

Here, high-pressure steam can be generated by burning wood, coal, oil, etc., so as to push the piston above to move, and then perform some production activities instead of manual labor.

Ross directed more than a dozen workers to start installing these components, first fixing the piston above the boiler, and the large amount of heat required by the boiler cannot be generated by ordinary materials.

Although it is said that burning wood can also generate steam, the heat energy required to push the piston is extremely huge, so Ross ordered a few knights to bring a group of rushing demons that he had captured before.

This group of rushing demons looked embarrassed, they were all wearing burnt-out clothes, and they were also wearing shackles and handcuffs on their feet and hands.

After being tortured during this period of time, the rushing demons fully felt the consequences of angering a lord.

He immediately became timid, and his temperament was no longer as violent as before.

Ross told them: "I want to ask you a little favor, as long as you are willing to work, I will untie your handcuffs."

As soon as he finished speaking, the knight on the side looked at Ross with a puzzled face: "Sir, do you really want to untie their handcuffs, this may pose a threat to you."

Ross smiled, and instead of responding directly to the knight's doubts, he picked up a stone and kneaded it into powder the next moment.

"A few rushing demons in a mere amount don't pose any threat to me."

With the promotion of the title, Ross's long-established force value also has room for continuous increase, and even other values ​​are the same.

"Your job is to keep spewing fire into this boiler."
