Chapter 144 The establishment of the clothing workshop

After breakfast, Lu Bu arranged for Wang Heng to receive the sewing machine and its accessories and consumables.

The house of a wealthy businessman covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, with dozens of houses in front and behind, and has now been converted into Xuzhou Military Clothing Shop.

Wang Heng saw this sophisticated machine that he was a little imaginative and didn't understand what he was doing.

"This is a sewing machine, simply put, it is a machine for sewing clothes."

This is what is truly a high-tech product. If given to others, others cannot imitate it. Unlike simple machinery such as wheelbarrows, you can make it with a glance.

"A machine for sewing clothes?"

This is obviously a bit complicated and Wang Heng can't accept it.

"Yes, a machine for sewing clothes." Lu Bu called several female workers who were proficient in making clothes and briefly demonstrated it. He stepped on the pedals and quickly sewed the two pieces of cloth together.

The female workers were shocked: "This speed is ten times faster than artificial."

Lu Bu was a little embarrassed. He was not very good at using this sewing machine, so he could only sew some things simply.

Wang Heng was still very smart and asked someone to bring some linen with him with one wave.

"Sew a few grain pockets first."

"Okay, the king, shallow."

The female worker was skillful and started to operate. She stepped on her feet and drove the belt on the head of the machine. The needle on the head of the machine started to sew quickly. It took about a minute. A bun was sewn with fine stitching.

It’s considered a time to rest and go to the toilet. It’s okay to have sixty points per hour. With this speed, logistics will no longer lack mashed bags for food.

Wang Heng gave a deep bow and bowed: "The lord is really a chosen person. Such a magic weapon is so powerful that I can't imagine how much you can make five hundred sewing machines in a day."

"You don't have to be too excited. The sewing machine can just sew some single clothes, pockets, etc., winter clothes, quilts, and leather clothes that can't be sewn."

After a while, Li, the wife of Gao Shun, the supervisor of the clothing store, arrived.

First, I visited Lu Bu and Wang Heng. These two were his immediate superiors and had to be well ethical.

Lu Bu said: "My brother and sister, I will give you this bedding shop in the future. The first task is to use the tens of thousands of soldiers as a single summer clothing."

"Okay, general. I'll make arrangements soon."

Manager Li didn't dare to make random promises, she had just figured out where the door was heading.

The first thing is to deploy a sewing machine. In the past, there is no glass on the windows, and they are all made of window paper. If the house is bright, you must change the windows to be easily disassembled. Remove the windows during the day to get enough sunlight. Don’t worry when the light is dark. There is a glass lamp. The illumination level of the glass lamp is very good and the light is sufficient and bright. However, the glass lamp is made of oil, so the fire prevention problem should not be underestimated. You have to arrange people to stay at night.

Wang Heng brought people to help and put up all five hundred sewing machines.

Manager Li saw that this machine was so strange. He tried it out. It was too fast and could adjust the size of the stitches. It was so convenient, as fast as ten times faster than manual labor. The most important thing is that each stitched stitch is the same size, and the finished clothes made.

"This, so many machines are used by our bedding shop?" Manager Li asked in surprise.

"Yes, they are all for you."

"This must be very expensive. Five hundred expensive machines are too dangerous. What should I do if I have safety issues?"

"The quilt shop has an account, a warehouse manager, a cashier, and a guard. The quilts are one of the few dozen female soldiers in the Xuzhou army. Because the machine in the quilt shop is expensive, I will arrange ten male soldiers to patrol outside the door." Wang Heng said.

Lu Bu said: "No need to worry too much. The overall environment in Xuzhou is now safe. Hundreds of constables and patrol troops patrol the city back and forth. The main focus is on preventing water and fire. Don't worry too much about other issues."

Manager Li said: "Okay, I will pay attention."

The heights of the soldiers are not much different. They are made of three models, small, medium and large, and very few are not suitable. They will be made separately.

Women who are willing to work at home still take the work back, but what they get is no longer ordinary clothes, but sheepskin, which is made of sheepskin candles, which are for winter use.

Those who can come to work will get up early every day to work, take care of a meal at noon, and get off work in the evening. They will work normally for four to five hours a day.

After several days of familiarity, five hundred female workers have mastered the application of sewing machines.

The fabric of Yeliang is very thin and sews very quickly. On average, each worker sews more than a dozen pieces every day.

The hand speed is getting faster and faster as she proficiently. Nowadays, female workers have lower wages, and they only earn about seven or eight cents a day. In addition, depending on how much they do, there are additional rewards.

Let’s talk about the horse farm outside the city.

Half a month passed in a flash, and four hundred Hun horses were still extremely healthy. After deworming, the stomach became more smooth and smooth.

Four hundred sets of horse harnesses have also been made, with double-sided stirrups and places for hanging weapons on the saddle.

Lu Bu brought Zhang Liao to see the horse.

Zhang Liao was very surprised. These were the ugly horses half a month ago? After being taken care of, they became so handsome.

"Wen Yuan, didn't I promise you to form three thousand cavalry for you? These 400 horses have been officially added to your battalion today. We will arrange them as soon as possible, organize training, and form combat effectiveness."

Zhang Liao was very excited and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, lord, this way, there are more than 800 cavalrymen in our camp."

"Although the Hun horses are short, their endurance is beyond imagination. They are very useful as light cavalry. The knights are equipped with bows, sabers, short spears, maces and other weapons, and can exert very strong combat power in battle."

"It's the lord."

Zhang Liao immediately arranged 400 soldiers with thin figures to come and test the horse.

Prepare saddles and fly on horses one by one.

The horses haven't run away for a long time, and they all feel energetic. They run down the road like a joyful moment, raising the dust in the sky.

The performance of the Hun horses was indeed beyond imagination. After the forage and fine materials were combined, the endurance of the horses became stronger.

"Before winter, I will equip you with all three thousand cavalry. I will pay attention to this short Hun horse. Except for not being a heavy armored cavalry, there is no problem with everything else." Lu Bu arranged.

"Don't worry, lord, I have already seen the endurance and speed of the Hun horse. It's really not simple. It's a good horse. I will definitely cherish this hard-earned horse."

The cavalry team of the Xuzhou army grew stronger again. In the past, there were horses captured from Cao's army, and now there were horses bought from the Wuhuan people.

"Lord, I suddenly remembered that the mosquitoes on the grassland are extremely annoying. Mosquito nets and strong liquor are very popular among the grassland people. You can get more of these things to exchange for war horses."

"Yes, the main reason is that the distance is too far, and Yuan Shao's territory is separated in the middle. It will definitely be difficult to develop in the early stage. When we look back and strengthen, we will open up the trade routes of the grassland, so how many horses will be needed and how many horses will be there."
