After this autumn, the needle workshop in Changle County began to distribute needle grinding work to various towns below.
The enthusiasm of people in various villages and towns for grinding needles was even higher than Luo Yong and others expected.
In those early days, the processing speed of the needle workshops could not keep up with the speed of needle grinding by them, making the workshops in the villages and towns under their jurisdiction normal.
When Muramasa comes to deliver goods, he often encounters situations where there is no goods to pick up.
Only in recent days, after several punching machines in the needle workshop were put into use, this situation has been slightly alleviated.
Now they are making wire drawing machines again.
They say they want to build a hundred units.
The needle factory doesn't have enough money, so the government will lend them money.
In addition to technical tasks such as frying iron and forging needles, the needle workshop also hired many young men who did manual labor, as well as some women who did sorting and packaging work.
The sorting work is also done very carefully, and those with unqualified quality are picked out.
Finally, there are special stewards responsible for random inspections.
If there is something wrong with the batch of needles handled by anyone, money will be deducted.
If the number of times is too high, the money will be deducted.
Resigned.
The packaging is simpler, with packages of five or ten needles, and trocars, which are needles of various types and sizes packaged together.
Wrap these needles in hemp paper.
There are words printed on the hemp paper.
The three largest words are "heirloom", and there are two small words "needle industry" next to them.
There is also a line of small words on the other side, which says so-and-so.
How many needles does the model have?
If it is a trocar, write "xx trocars."
Wrap the needle with this piece of hemp paper, fold it neatly using the prescribed folding method, stick a little glue on the closing area, and then stick a slim green paper strip as wide as your little finger on the outside, surrounding the natural hemp paper package. , the ends where the ends meet are also glued together with glue, and the green note also has four words on it: "Groceries from the North and the South."
The needle workshop only arranges board and lodging for those skilled craftsmen.
If the craftsmen do not have room and board at the needle workshop, they will receive some food money as a monthly subsidy.
Others don't have this kind of treatment.
They go to the needle workshop from their homes every morning to work and go back in the evening.
Some people will bring some food for themselves at noon.
If they don't bring it, they have to go hungry.
The work pace here in the needle workshop is very fast.
Fast, basically everyone is paid on a piece-by-piece basis, and the more you work, the more you earn, and you work from morning till night, never wanting to stop for a moment.
Those young or old women, who pass by the cashmere workshop when they go to and from the needlework shop every day, look at the high walls of the cashmere workshop, and most of them are very envious in their hearts.
They do such hard work in the needlework shop every day, and the working environment is very dusty and noisy.
However, the young ladies in the cashmere workshop sit in the big clean room spinning and knitting, sitting on the hot kang, listening to The hundreds of young ladies who work here have no frostbite on their hands and feet.
They are well-fed and well-clothed.
They will also be very popular if they learn a craft and get married in the future.
"I only regret that I was born a few years earlier."
Apart from envy, it is inevitable that there will also be some sentimentality.
Those little ladies in the cashmere workshop have really caught up with the good times, so all of them live like flowers in the greenhouse, clean and delicate.
Those who have not caught up are like the weeds on the wasteland.
They are exposed to the wind and sun and will wither and turn yellow before they are green and tender for a few days.
However, as long as you work in this needlework workshop and are more agile, you can still earn more than those young ladies in the cashmere workshop who pick cashmere and spin yarn.
If you earn more, you will naturally have more status in the family than before.
In the past, women like them had neither property nor the ability to make money.
When they married from their mother's family to their husband's family, they had to depend on the appearance of their husband.
If the husband's family was a good family, life would be easier.

If the husband's family was not good, life would be easier.
Day by day, it was like boiling oil.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City In fact, the young ladies in the cashmere workshop, who were envied by these women, worked all day long.
The cashmere workshop also has some rules.
If you violate them, you may be fired.
There is also a statistics at the end of each month, and there are requirements for the minimum amount of work that each person has to do on average every day.
Since getting those glass beads from Luo Yong last time, Luo Erniang has begun to purchase cashmere in large quantities.
Previously, those young ladies were worried that the cashmere sweaters and pants they produced here would not be sold.
This cashmere workshop would close down sooner or later.
There is no need to worry now. .
The steward who went to Liangzhou City with Hu Shang earlier also came back recently, saying that the matter had been settled.
In addition, he also brought Luo Erniang the current operating conditions of the cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City, as well as the stewards work report.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City During this period, some Hu merchants came to Luo Erniang to see the goods and place orders.
Except for a few Gaochang merchants, most of them had to go to Liangzhou City to pick up the goods.
Some people were worried and asked Luo Erniang to arrange for a steward to go with them.
Luo Erniang said that her cashmere workshop could only arrange for one steward to go out every month, and they would set out on the first day of the new year.
That was where they were worried.
One day, I went to Liangzhou City with the steward of their cashmere workshop.
This is the beginning.
After everyone is familiar with the process and has established trust, Luo Erniang will no longer have to let the stewards travel back and forth between Changle County and Liangzhou City.
There are also some people who are not too sure about the character of the Luo family.
They paid the money and took the detailed order of glass beads and payment certificate and left without worrying about picking up the goods.
Luo Erniang guessed that they might have come here just for the glass beads.
Although she felt a little distressed, she felt relieved after thinking that she still had so many on hand.
She kept the beads and exchanged them for some money and silk.
It is also good to maintain the operation of cashmere workshops.
In this era of underdeveloped logistics, running a cashmere workshop like Luo Erniang and others requires a lot of capital.
Especially this year, there is war, and it is difficult to sell goods.
The price of food in Xia Li has soared, and their cashmere workshop has so many Workers need to be fed.
In order to maintain the business, when Luo Yong held a big sale in the county, Erniang and the others also sold a lot of cashmere sweaters at low prices.
Even the cans she brought from Liangzhou City were used to compete with some local ones.
Wealthy households with sufficient grain reserves exchanged grains for their food.
When they were at their poorest, they really wanted to take off the eucommia gum from the soles of their shoes in exchange for money.
Er Niang did not talk much to Luo Yong about these matters.
It was not an easy time for everyone, and Luo Yong had many things to worry about every day.
"I've just come back, and I'll be going out again in a few days.
It's really hard on you."
On this day, Luo Erniang said to the steward who had just returned two days ago.
"What's the matter?
You also know that I don't like to be restrained.
It's more comfortable to run a horse outside than to sit in a workshop and work."
The steward smiled.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City This steward came from a military household, and she, Aye, was considered a lowly official in the army.
Although there were many dissatisfactions in her life, her family's life was still better than that of ordinary people.
When she was still young, there was still chaos in the world.

She, Aye, taught several children in the family to ride horses early on, and also learned a little bit of boxing and kicking skills, just to have the skills to escape and protect themselves at critical moments.
Later, the world became peaceful and she got married.
However, she was at odds with her husband's family.
After a year or two of quarreling, they divorced.
When she returned to live with her parents' family, she was often gossiped about.
Later, Luo Erniang opened a cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City, and she also went to work.
She looked rough, but she worked very well.
In addition, she was good at horseback riding and martial arts, and she was very courageous.
Luo Erniang Her mother often arranged for her to do some external affairs and made her a manager.
This time she came to Changle County and brought her with her.
Each of the stewards under Luo Erniang has his own story.
As a woman, born in such an era, there is no chance of a 100% good life.
After all, each has her own unsatisfactory situation.
For example, this steward, who was born in a military household, was a divorced woman who did not get along well with her brothers and sisters-in-law.
Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop was her place of refuge.
If one day this cashmere workshop can no longer be opened, someone else may come to hire her.
After all, she has skills, but what will that look like?
Will she still be able to gain the respect of others and live like a Who can guarantee that I feel so comfortable now?
She really regards the cashmere workshop as her own home and treats the affairs of the cashmere workshop as her own business.
"I was in Liangzhou City and heard people say that Li Daozong, the Duke of Lueyang County, came back victorious this time.
The saint had a generous reward, and the alcohol he brought back and the method of making alcohol were talked about even more. road."
"I heard that even Sun Simiao, the great doctor who retired to the mountains and forests, also went to Chang'an City after hearing about this.
The saint had sent people to invite him several times before, but he refused to come out.
This time he came out on his own."
She told Luo Erniang everything she had seen and heard along the way, especially things related to the Luo family, as she had always paid close attention to them.
"I don't know what the saint means."
Luo Erniang said.
"I don't know."
The steward shook his head: "Everyone only said that the alcohol was strange, and they also talked about the miracle doctor Sun going to Chang'an City, but no one mentioned the saint's words."
"Then don't worry."
Luo Erniang smiled and said, "You and I just need to wait for the good news."
After all, it is not a bad thing to give a prescription.
Even if the saint gives a verbal praise, it still needs to be commended.
No, we can't punish them to the Luo family.
However, during this period, a major event happened in Chang'an City.
Because of the long distance, Luo Yong and Luo Erniang were unable to get the news for a while in Changle County.
It is said that since Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin went to Longxi and Hou Lin moved out after getting married, Si Niang and the others lived with A Zhi in the original small courtyard.
Mai Qing and Dou Li'er have now grown into two good dogs that can guard homes and homes.
The neighbors also take good care of them, and with Xing Er's relationship, ordinary people don't dare to hit them at all.
This family's idea led to a peaceful life without any problems.
Some time ago, on the night of November 25th, Si Niang slept until midnight when she suddenly heard a dog barking in the courtyard, and there was something wrong with the sound.
Regardless of the fear in her heart, Si Niang grabbed the two knives on the bedside and hid behind the door.
Immediately, someone from outside used some method to open their door.
When people came in, the four women Niang Hengdao wiped the man's neck.
Siniang knew that she was weak and alone, and if she got into a fight with someone, she would definitely not be able to gain any favors.

She had to take advantage of this person's unpreparedness and knock him down with a single blow.
In this dark night, a dark-black razor blade passed by silently, making a deep gash in the man's neck, and warm blood sprayed on Siniang's head and face.
Si Niang couldn't remember clearly what happened after that.
When the neighbors rushed over, Siniang was sitting blankly on the steps of the porch, wearing only a single piece of clothing, swaying from side to side.
Ah Zhi took a robe from the house and put it on her, and wiped the blood on her face with a cloth.
Wulang squatted in the yard, holding a bloody big dog in his arms.
There was another big dog lying on the ground whimpering and whining.
Liulang and Qiniang cried together.
There was a dead man lying in the yard of their house, and there was another one in the house.
The deathly eyes with wide eyes looked particularly terrifying in the flickering firelight on this cold winter night.
Before dawn, officers from the Chang'an County government came and took Luo Siniang away overnight.
Azhi entrusted Wulang and others to the neighbors, and hurriedly ran to Bai Mansion.
In the middle of the night, he knocked on the door of Bai Mansion, crying and begging the servants guarding the door, asking them to wake up the sleeping adults of the Bai family.
How could the government prison be so easy to treat?
Si Niang was just a teenage girl.
Going to a place like that, she didn't know how she was going to survive the night.
Not long after, Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang got up.
Bai Yimao heard that Siniang was in jail, so he ran out in a panic and said he wanted to see her.
However, his father ordered him to be forcibly locked up at home, and he was not allowed to go home.
Adding chaos at this time.
"Just stay here until dawn.
The curfew has not passed yet, so don't go out again."
Uncle Bai told Azhi before going out.
It was still midnight at this time, and the doors of all the houses were locked.
A Zhi ran all the way from Feng'an Square.
Needless to say, he must have climbed over the wall of the house.
After Uncle Bai finished speaking, he went out with a servant.
The servant held a quilt in his arms.
The two of them walked along the street with lanterns, neither daring to ride a horse or drive a carriage.
When the night watchman Zhi Jinwu saw them, he asked who was in front of him and why he was breaking the night.
Uncle Bai said that a teenage girl from an old friend's family was captured and imprisoned by the Chang'an government in the middle of the night.
It was cold in the winter night, so he went to see her off.
By this time, those who were in charge of the quilt had also heard about the murder case of the Luo family, and some people recognized that the person in front of them was Erlang of the Bai family, so they let him go.
In the Bai Mansion, Bai Weng and Bai Dalang were asking A Zhi what happened.
Azhi suppressed his uneasiness and told them everything he knew in detail.
At this time, Luo Yong is not in Chang'an City, and Hou Lin's official position is low, so he may not be able to take care of such a big matter.
Fortunately, the Bai family is very concerned about this matter and has no intention of staying out of it.
On the other side, Uncle Bai and the others soon arrived at the Chang'an County Government Office.
After such a murder case, many officials in the county government office could not sleep that night.
Uncle Bai first went to visit Siniang in prison.
He felt relieved when he saw that she was locked up alone in a cell.
He used money to order the guards to open the cell door, sent quilts in, and He told her not to worry.
In his opinion, the most likely outcome of this murder was "manslaughter," and she could be redeemed by spending some copper coins.
After coming out of the prison, Uncle Bai went to the Yamen to talk to the familiar officials, asking them if they knew the identity of the deceased, the reason for his death, and how Luo Siniang could kill those two strong men at such a young age.
Is anyone maliciously framing the case?

"Hey, how could this be framed?
You didn't see the death of those two people.
One of them had a deep and accurate cut on his neck, and the blood was almost drained."
This official also knew that the Bai family and the Luo family had a close personal relationship, but to say that the two thieves tonight were not killed by the Luo family's four mothers, but framed by others, was probably unjustifiable in any case.
"Can you let me take a look at the bodies of those two people?"
Uncle Luo said. "" The man glanced at Uncle Bai and promised, "You come with me."
After Uncle Bai saw the two corpses, he also knew that what this person just said was not biased.
According to this situation, it was right that Luo Siniang had killed these two people.
"But the identities of these two people have been found out," Uncle Bai asked again.
"No."
The murder had just happened, and it would take some time to find out the identities of the two thieves: "But judging from the situation at the time, it was not like ordinary thieves who would run away when they heard a dog barking.
They actually He also stabbed a big dog to death.”
As the man spoke, he ordered people to quickly cover the two corpses with straw mats.
It was really scary to look at the corpses with torches in the middle of the night.
Uncle Bai can do this for the Luo family.
It seems that the friendship between the Bai and Luo families is indeed very deep.
Early the next morning, the news that Luo Siniang had killed two thieves in her courtyard last night spread throughout most of Chang'an City.
When Luo Siniang was being interrogated at the county government office, many people gathered outside.
The lobby where the case was being heard was facing the gate of the county government office.
The county magistrate was seen sitting on a high wooden couch wearing official warm boots.
Luo Siniang lay on the ground with her hands shackled.
The county magistrate was an older, middle-aged scholar.
He seemed to be very disgusted with the power of women.
He also knew that the previous Chang'an magistrate resigned because of the affairs of their Luo family.
This time it was his turn to be the county magistrate.
This Luo Something happened to the family again.
"Since you are a thief, you naturally want to steal property.
Since you are good at martial arts, you can just injure them.
Why do you want to kill them both?"
"You are a woman and you are so young, why are you so vicious and cruel?"
In front of a crowd of Chang'an people, the Chang'an County Magistrate rebuked Luo Siniang for being a vicious and cruel person.
Luo Siniang slowly raised her head at this time and was sitting upright on her knees in the county government hall.
I saw that she was thin and pale, and her hair was still stained with blood clots that had not been cleaned up last night.
She looked miserable, but her back was straight: "People who practice martial arts naturally want to protect their families and their country.
Since ancient times, when men go to war on the battlefield, the king will get generous rewards and the people will praise them.
I just killed two thieves who broke into my house in the middle of the night.
Why is the county magistrate so praised?
I am vicious because I was born a woman."
