Daqin Engineers

Chapter 315 Pricing

With the drawings and ready-made looms, and the new iron parts owed there, Cang came out the weaving mechanism the next day.

One of the reasons why it was so fast was that Cang Yi Su hadn't slept and drove out the loom at night.

In fact, God is more anxious than Shen Bing in this matter.

This is not to say that the title is not to say that it is good.

In fact, none of these things can be given by Shen Bing...Benefits may be given, but the title is in accordance with Qin's law.

The reason why Cang stayed up all night to make it was because of the curiosity of the craftsman.

It's like the swordsmith knows a new method of sword making, and can forge a magic weapon.

Like a martial arts master, he won a martial arts secret book, and after practicing it, he will be number one in the world.

Or the cultivator has obtained a method of vomiting, after which he will be able to become immortal...

Where can they sleep at this time, naturally they are anxious to see the results.

Cang was no exception. He was jumping up and down all night in excitement, and he even woke him up several times.

Then, when the sky was still dark the next morning, Cang hurriedly went to Shen Bingshuai's mansion to shoot the door...

At first, the guards stopped Cang from letting him shoot the door because Shen Bing was still sleeping.

But Cang said this:

"Do you know who I am?"

"The general is my senior, and the general confessed major issues to me. If you stop and refuse to report, if you have any responsibility..."

In fact, there is no responsibility. How many hours earlier the loom comes out is not the same?

But the guards were still frightened by Cang's words.

However, the guards were also clever. On the one hand, people continued to stop Cang and reported to Cheng on the other.

Ren is now Shen Bing's personal guard leader, that is, the two to five hundred masters of this guard force of thousands of people.

Cheng has some knowledge about Cang's production of looms, and after thinking about it, he said:

"Bring Cang in, and I will report to the general!"

Then, Cheng cautiously knocked on the door of Shen Bing's bedroom, arching his hands outside and reporting:

"General, Cang Lai reported."

"It is said that the loom has been made!"

Shen Bing was awakened, and he was surprised when he heard that the loom had been made. Originally, he thought it would take at least one or two days.

After thinking about it, Shen Bing ordered:

"Go to the workshop immediately."

As soon as Shen Bing arrived, Meng Liang and others also arrived one after another.

As said before, they all have expectations of the loom, so they explained that as soon as the subordinates had news about the loom, they would be notified immediately.

Among them, Fusu got news even earlier.

The reason is that Fusu arranged for the production of manpower and Cang together, and the entire process and even the production method are in his grasp...

Although this is Fusu's responsibility as a supervising army, more importantly, Fusu expects this loom that can be difficult for the people to be born.

The result did not disappoint Fusu.

But seeing Cang Yi open the water gate... This first-generation loom has no switch yet, so it can only be controlled by the water gate: let go and push the waterwheel to start running, and then stop after closing the gate.

Then I saw the loom "creaking", but it seemed as if someone was operating it, and the cloth was increasing a little.

Cang introduced:

"The law made by the general is indeed feasible."

"If there is anything wrong, it is that the force of the wooden knife after drawing it out is too strong."

"Cang has changed it to a small size, and we can now weave!"

Shen Bing nodded.

The wooden knife Cang said is to tie the weft tightly after weaving the weft, otherwise the quality of the cloth will be a problem if it is too loose.

This was originally reserved for adjustment, but Shen Bing didn't expect Canghui to make it overnight.

Fusu stroked the cloth that came out inch by inch and couldn't help but "tsk tut" and marveled:

"General, the water-powered cloth seems to be more precise and smooth than the handmade cloth!"

Cang explained:

"What the son said is quite true."

"It's only because of the manual weaving that it is inevitable that there will be sparseness and density due to fatigue and handwork."

"However, the water-powered fabric is the same light and heavy, so the density is the same as the thickness."

Meng Liang rushed to ask:

"How long does it take to weave a piece of cloth?"

Cang answered:

"Originally, it took at least a month to finish knitting, and it only took two days to use water."

Everyone exclaimed.

It only takes two days to knit one person's cloth for a month, especially this is not a matter of time, but it...no people are needed at all.

To be precise, it also needs people.

For example, people need to change threads, need people to maintain, need people to put away the woven cloth, and so on.

But there is no need for people to weave directly.

And these people in need are a small number of centralized management and production in one workshop.

This efficiency is not comparable to hand-made.

Meng Liang observed for a while, and said to Shen Bing excitedly:

"General, my subordinates thought that I would make hundreds of them if I waited a little bit..."

"No, thousands should be made."

"With this water-powered weaving, why worry that Yunzhong County is not rich?"

Fusu frowned upon hearing this:

"How much does the general intend to sell this cloth?"

Shen Bing couldn't help but froze, this was a problem he hadn't thought about.

Meng Liang thought about it and replied:

"My son, his subordinates think that this cloth is fine, it should be sold for sixty dollars!"

Qin Shi can make a set of summer clothes worth about fifty dollars...

At this time, each person's daily ration only needs two dollars, and only eight dollars for a day of hard labor, so the fifty dollars is not a small sum.

If you count by the quality, the water-powered cloth has better color, and it is not an exaggeration to cost about ten dollars.

Fusu frowned and said while touching the cloth:

"When I make this cloth, will I make money for Yunzhong County?"

Shen Bing thought for a while and said:

"The subordinate thought that this cloth should be sold for forty-five dollars!"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but look sideways, and Meng Liang looked at Shen Bing with inexplicable eyes.

It seems to say to Shen Bing: If you want to agree with Fusu, you can't set the price lower than the handmade one!

Shen Bing explained:

"If it is sold for sixty dollars, the people will still have to wear old clothes."

This is indeed true.

Ten dollars may not be a big deal to high-ranking officials, but to the common people, it is a daily ration for five people, which is not a decimal.

And the people don't care too much about quality issues, they need more to keep warm.

Shen Bing continued:

"If the people don't buy it, it means that this cloth can only be sold to noble people, so how can I sell this cloth in large quantities?"

"If it can't be sold in large quantities, how can this cloth bring wealth to Yunzhong County?"

Meng Liang understood when listening.

This is actually the modern strategy of small profits but quick turnover.

So this price not only satisfied Fusu's wishes, but also took care of Meng Liang's ideas.

More importantly... this price will not disrupt the national market in an instant.
