The Winner is King [Quick Wear]

Chapter 259: The tragic little widow 12

A few miles ahead of Dongmen Wharf, it is a vast wasteland.

This land, near the river, is barren and cannot grow food, and it is not suitable for people to live nearby.

Xia Junxin chose this place and organized manpower to build a factory and dormitory here, and it has been about a month since the start of construction.

With current technology, building a small workshop is not a problem.

When the house is almost finished, start paving.

The road from the factory to the wharf has to be repaired for several miles, not to mention how good it is, at least to facilitate the transportation of factory goods.

“Big sister, what is this factory doing?” Liu Si asked curiously.

The house is big and beautiful.

He had heard from people who had been on the rise, saying that foreigners had machines made of such large blocks of iron that they could produce things on their own. I heard that some big cities along the coast also have machines. Liu Si was really curious.

“This is a textile factory that produces cloth.” Xia Jun said in his heart, “There will be about half a month before the big ship will tow the machine over. You can see it then.”

These machines are all second-hand goods, and it is not honorable to come. She befriends the nuns of the French Church of Christ. After passing through the church to catch a foreign businessman, and finally, to catch the line of a foreign machinery factory, it was only then that the knocked-out products of others were obtained. Things are old, but still usable. Even if it can’t be used, she can repair and remodel. Make the machine spin anyway.

After the textile factory started to operate, it produced its own cloth, and the own cloth shop was the first to benefit. With the fabric, it is time to set up a clothing factory.

Xia Junxin plans to sell ready-to-wear clothing and build a clothing brand. This clothing brand also incorporates many embroidery, tie-dye and brocade features from all over the southwest. With features, it is convenient to sell to other places or even overseas.

Having been in so many worlds, Xia Junxin did not pay much attention to the fashion field. Creating a textile factory is limited by the conditions, but since everything has been done, it is best to do it.

She does not know clothing herself, but she can hire excellent weavers, embroiderers and tailors with high salary. Xia Junxin is responsible for handling the mechanical technology, and they study the problem of clothing. Combining strong and strong can always make something.

Of course, it’s too early to do this. She was only roughly making a rough plan for the future of the textile mill. The future of this factory, the establishment and operation of the brand, must be taken slowly.

*

The planning of the textile factory is very big and far away, but in fact, this is not the point that Xia Junxin is most concerned about.

What Xia Junxin wanted more was a printing factory. With the printing factory, she also opened a newspaper and a publishing house.

She doesn’t expect to make money by running a newspaper. When the time comes, it will be printed and delivered to teahouses and taverns for free, and let the storyteller help explain.

This world event, scientific knowledge, and even foreign languages can be spread through newspapers, broadening people’s horizons.

She also prints books to disseminate knowledge to facilitate the world’s studious. Those who are eager to learn have no way to go abroad, and self-study is also a way.

“Eldest sister, what have you been pondering with these masters all day, so that your face is covered in black oil.” Yulan couldn’t help laughing.

“This is ink.” Xia Jun was also happy.

She has not yet found a way to buy a large printing press, and her plan to run a newspaper cannot be carried out.

So, Xia Junxin was going to get the mimeograph out. This thing is convenient and fast, low cost, and the machine is small and not cumbersome. been researching recently.

“Wash your face quickly… I can’t have this dress anymore.” Yulan brought hot water to help Xia Junxin wash her face. She said cautiously: “I don’t understand a lot of what the eldest sister has done recently, and I don’t understand anything about the factory at all. But I heard that the factory has been built, and in the future, my daughter’s house will be able to work seriously. Everyone has food and can work. To support yourself, the eldest sister must be doing a good thing.”

“Don’t think too much of me.” Xia Jun thought.

The cost of opening a factory is an unimaginable amount of money.

She is a widow, where did she get the money to open a factory? The money is collected from the tobacco shop, obtained by the cigarette dealer.

She is not a good person, she does a lot of vicious things, and she has blood on her hands. It was Fan Jiafu who was kept in the dungeon of Juntian Village by her, and she continued to pluck wool. The members of the Loyalty Society also had several rounds of life-and-death contests with her forces. She won and robbed them of their money.

She is robbing the black to help the poor. The silver taels found from Brother Munshui Pao were used to benefit the people.

“Anyway, eldest sister is a good person.” Yulan firmly believed.

After the Qingyun sign was released, he helped a lot of girls, and many people who couldn’t survive were rescued.

Yulan was really fortunate that she did not leave on that daunting night, but chose to stay by Xia Junxin’s side and stay in Qingyuntang.

There is still a period of time before the factory is repaired. The girls in Liying Pavilion who followed Xia Junxin away changed their faces and began to live again.

Xia Junxin specially hired a gentleman for the girls, and told them to read and read, operate machines, and read and recognize some basic things. Also learn some basic arithmetic.

During this period of time, Qingyuntang raised them, and they were too embarrassed to eat free food.

Qingyuntang’s power is expanding rapidly, and there is always something that needs help.

Wherever manpower is needed, they rush to do it, not afraid of getting dirty or tired.

It feels really good to be able to live with dignity.

Of course, their prosperous days were not all smooth sailing, and there were always some people who looked at people with tinted glasses.

Some women scold them behind their backs, and some men treat them lightly.

The people of Qingyuntang cleaned up a few men who wanted to frivolous girls, but these people went to talk about it, slandering Qingyuntang as a slut.

The rumors are still spreading vividly.

Xia Junxin brought out the person who spread the rumors and beat him hard in public, not hurting him but only hurting him. Frightened people directly.

The other party admitted his mistake and begged for mercy, so Xia Junxin tied the man and punished him to parade through the street to read the confession letter to refute the rumors of Qingyuntang.

She has never been a good person in her life.

She is Pao Ge.

Just doing a little good deeds doesn’t mean she can be bullied, and can tolerate others’ slander.

“Naughty, nonsense! You are getting more and more outrageous!” Xia Junxin’s county magistrate finally came to the door again, and scolded him as soon as they met.

“Father, you’re here.” Xia Junxin felt strangely angry.

This Master Xia was reluctant to hold office and never resigned. I don’t know how long this function will last. Xia Junxin knew that someone had reported him to Xiangfeng. It doesn’t matter, if he gets caught, as a daughter, he will still help him escape.

“Xia Junxin! You are a widow and widow, what’s the point of mixing with those people?!! Is your reputation still worth it?” Master Xia was heartbroken: “You still want to get those iron lumps and mix with foreigners, are you? You don’t want to **** me off!”

Master Xia was so angry that he slapped the table.

He is an honest and dutiful scholar and a loyal court official. But why did he give birth to such a deviant and daring daughter?

“Father, I have a good reputation. I’m much better than you.” Xia Junxin’s words pierced Master Xia’s heart.

Master Xia blew his beard and stared, and finally shook his head, he said, “I see you, you are just messing around alone. So I found someone to take care of you!”

Xia Junxin: “?”

“Father, what do you mean?” Xia Junxin’s eyes were cold.

Master Xia said: “I’ll tell you about the relatives, he is my chief. You are a widow, he is a widower, and you two are a perfect match. He is older, but he is an official. You are the wife of an official when you marry. Dangpao is more powerful.”

Xia Junxin really laughed.

The first time this Master Xia married his daughter was the collusion between officials and bandits. What are you going to change for marrying her daughter this time?

This old man, can’t you live a good life? Do not die!
