The vendors in Chang'an City were still on their way out, but Changle County was already crowded with people.
Three tiny needles only cost a penny.
They were already cheaper than the market price, and they were of such excellent quality that people couldn't help but rush to buy them.
After all, in this era, clothes, shoes and socks are basically made by every household.
For the common people, they are almost as important as salt.
You cannot cook without salt, and you cannot sew without needles.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City Changle County is located near the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor.
The Hexi Corridor is the Longyou Road west of the Tang Dynasty and west of the Yellow River.
It is basically the geographical area where Gansu Province was located in later generations.
It looks like a long area on the map. of one.
To the north of Changle County are a number of small countries in the Western Regions such as Gaochang Yanqi, as well as the Turkic Empire, and to the south are Tuyuhun and Tubo.
Compared with the Central Plains region, Changle County is closer to these places.
Recently, such a fine needle was released in Changle County, and many businessmen from neighboring countries came to buy the needle.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City Some of them brought customs clearance documents to the customs to buy, and some came over privately.
However, it is very dangerous to cross the Great Wall during this period.
There is a war in Gaochang.
The soldiers guarding the border on the border of Datang They are also very vigilant, and if they don't do it right, they will be caught as a spy.
In the past, most of the spontaneously formed markets on the border have disappeared due to the tense situation recently, so many people have no choice but to buy from some Changle people living on the border.
Recently, many people have come to Changle County to buy needles, and the needle factory is operating at full capacity every day.
Based on their current production capacity, they can make more than two thousand fine needles every day, which is not enough to sell.
Some vendors who were unable to buy them in time had to temporarily stay in Changle County.
Fortunately, the accommodation and food here are not enough.
Not expensive.
Three needles sell for one penny.
At present, there is basically no profit for the needle workshop.
However, this needle workshop is supported by the government and is still investing continuously.
The goal is to improve the efficiency of needle making as much as possible through the use of some auxiliary equipment.
Reduce costs and achieve profitability.
In return, the needle shop sells fine needles at such a low price in order to attract popularity to Changle County.
After all, there are other industries that need to be developed in their county.
If there is no popularity, then there is nothing to mention, let alone anything else. , just the shops on the street can’t pay the monthly taxes.
At present, Heijiro and others have built a wire drawing machine for this needle workshop.
It is a foot-operated wire drawing machine.
The iron bar is fixed first, and then a few big men stand on it and stretch it out three or two times.
This wire is then fixed in a smaller mold and drawn again.
After several repetitions, the thickness required for needle making can be obtained.
After this wire drawing machine, they want to build a needle nose punching machine.
This is more difficult.
If you want to punch a hole on a thin needle, it not only requires extremely high accuracy, but the selection of the drill bit is also a problem.
Also consider the cost after it is put into use.
Hengzhi and others studied new equipment with the craftsmen every day.
Luo Yong went to see it a few times.
He originally wanted to follow along and come up with ideas, but he found that he could no longer keep up with Hengzhi and the others.
After building Yanerfei and other things, and having a thorough understanding of gears, bearings, and pulleys, they now have considerable experience in the manufacture of these machines.
With Luo Yong, they can only copy books without really going into depth.

The laymen who have studied it have gradually distanced themselves.
What Luo Yong can do now is to keep getting them money, metal, and craftsmen.
A few days ago, there was a young lady at the cashmere workshop.
She asked Luo Erniang that her Aye was good at blacksmithing, and asked if the needle shop would accept it.
Luo Erniang told Luo Yong, and Luo Yong asked him to come and try it. , as long as you are really skilled, your monthly salary will definitely be more than one hundred yuan.
Finally, that man came, and he was really powerful.
His method of frying steel was so exquisite that he threw away the other craftsmen who worked with him for several blocks.
Now, the steel he frys is given priority to Hengzhi and the others for building.
Equipment use.
As for the salary, because of his excellent skills, it is currently three hundred cash per month for him, which is the same as several stewards in the cashmere workshop.
This man is also very happy.
I heard that he used to be a craftsman from the Yanqi Kingdom, specializing in frying steel for sword masters who made swords.
Because of his superb skills, he was quite famous in the industry.
Later, he was squeezed out by his peers and had no choice but to come here.
Sheep grazing on the prairie.
But he didn't know whether it was true or not.
After all, it was still a sensitive period right now, so Luo Yong told his disciples that for the time being, they would only ask him to fry steel and not let him touch other technologies.
After this incident, several craftsmen came to pitch in one after another.
Although their skills were uneven, they were still useful.
I heard from these people that the Turks and the Tang Dynasty are currently at war.
These herdsmen living on the grasslands are actually more nervous than the Han people living in the cities.
Changle County like them still has a city wall to block them.
In the grassland It's different there.
If herders like them encounter someone from the military, no matter which country's army they are from, they will often suffer in the end.
Of course, it is also a very important factor that the remuneration offered by this needle workshop is good enough.
One or two hundred cash a month is basically enough to support the whole family.
If there are one or two daughters in the family who can enter the cashmere workshop, Or if you are smarter and sell some wine-tailed needles and the like, your life will be more comfortable.
Although Changle County is a small town, life is still much more convenient than that in the Gobi grassland.
You can buy all the daily necessities at any time, and you can go to a restaurant and sip a few drinks from time to time.
I am used to this kind of life.
From then on, I gradually stopped going to those deserted places to herd sheep and race horses.
As for the shortcomings, the main thing is that life in this custom is still a bit restrictive.
If you meet good officials, it will be fine, but if you meet bad officials, life will be difficult.
In the past few days, the government has posted an official document asking those in Changle County who do not have household registration to quickly go to the government and get their household registration registered, so these herdsmen began to get a little entangled.
On this day, a few young gentlemen from Chang'an City who were learning nonsense from the Hu merchants went to the street to beat teeth and offer sacrifices.
Then they heard two herdsmen at the table next to them eating wine and talking.
The two of them brought their own wine bags and ordered a plate of cold dishes in the shop.
The two of them ate the wine and the food in front of each other.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City "Hey, isn't your family registered as a household?"
said a relatively thin herdsman.
"Yes, the cashmere workshop that my aunt worked for previously said that if you don't join the registered household, you won't get paid.
Even if the Naluo County Magistrate doesn't check, it will be troublesome if the officials above check it on a whim someday."
The tall man opposite the thin man said.
Zhuang herdsman took a sip of wine, breathed a sigh of relief, and told him about his family's situation.
"When you register as a registered household, you have to pay taxes and perform corvee labor."

The thin herdsman said worriedly.
"Not afraid."
The tall and strong herdsman didn't care.
"Although Magistrate Luo is a good official now, he is afraid that he will be a corrupt official next time."
The thin herdsman shook his head and sighed.
"Don't be afraid."
The tall and strong herdsman still said the same thing.
"You're a fool, you only know how to eat these few bites now, how come you don't think about the future?"
the skinny herdsman said angrily.
"Of course I have my own thoughts."
The tall herdsman chuckled twice.
"What else do you have in mind?
Come and tell me."
The skinny little herdsman asked him.
The tall herdsman looked around and said in a low voice: "Look how high the Great Wall is.
My aunt can climb over it.
How can it still contain you and me?
If life in this wall were easy, you and I would be here."
"Yes, if life is not easy in the pass, we will just go back to herd the sheep."
"Tsk, what you said makes sense."
"That's the original reason."
"If the wind direction is wrong, let's leave quickly."
"That is."
"Remember to call me when you leave.
Our two families will still be together by then."
"That goes without saying."
"Eat wine and eat wine" "Ahem, cough, cough."
A young gentleman on the table next to him almost choked to death on a mouthful of water.
What kind of people are these?
When times are good, they jump over the wall and come here to become registered households.
But when times are bad, they immediately jump over the wall and escape.
In this way, in the next few days, Changle County successfully incorporated these herdsmen who were ready to flee at any time.
Logically speaking, Luo Rong should not be able to let these people slip away.
As for whether they will slip away after another official comes in the future, it will not be up to Luo Rong.
