The Blacksmith Workshop made manual sewing equipment and released it immediately. All the merchants in Youzhou came to check this equipment.

Li De also personally attended the scene and thought that the Blacksmith Workshop should be very reliable. After experiments, he found that this hand-crank sewing equipment is more suitable for making leather goods because the needles are too rough and are very easy to use for emptying.

It is a bit rougher for making clothes, and the leather goods are much faster to work. Moreover, this sewing equipment can also be used to make shoes, which is much faster than drilling holes with one hammer and one hammer.

Businessmen don’t care whether they can process clothing, they just need to know that new equipment can increase productivity.

The goods immediately caused a snatch, especially the representatives of the cotton spinning company directly gave a large number of orders.

After opening a company, their business scope increased. The garment workshop and leather workshop all belong to their company's business scope. If it is not used, it will be a waste. Carrying more business can also convert some labor.

The company's scale is growing bigger and bigger, and they want to seize this opportunity.

The breeding companies that supply leather also customize a large number of sewing equipment, and they also want to do further work in leather processing.

After grouping, the Blacksmith Workshop received the order for the first independent research and development project. The cost of each sewing equipment is 500 stag, and hundreds of sets have been booked just now.

Don’t think that there are many craftsmen who actually engage in leather processing. Most of their main products are horse equipment, such as saddles, horse boots and other products.

As for leather bags, leather school bags are all specially hired by craftsmen by the Li family, and the prices are not cheap. Therefore, except for the scouts of the Pioneer Army, the people will choose to use cloth to make backpacks with cheaper costs.

One reason for the high cost is that the leather itself is very valuable, and the production cost is very high. It takes a long time to make a leather goods. If you want to achieve mass production, you need to have enough craftsmen to start work at the same time.

In fact, this kind of exquisite work is not something that anyone can do.

With sewing equipment, it is different. Manual hole drilling is the most difficult process. As long as the craftsman is responsible, threading and other things can be completely left to the helpers to complete.

Businessmen are all aware of this situation, so when sewing equipment appears, they know that the opportunity has come.

Li De felt relieved when he saw that the merchants were interested in the sewing equipment made by the blacksmith workshop, and he would not have to worry about production now.

Then Li De discussed the matter with the research team of the Blacksmith Workshop and handed over all the sales matters to the people selected in the Blacksmith Workshop.

By the time Li De left at night, he had already seen that the orders for sewing equipment had exceeded 500.

With such order processing, the benefits will be very good.

Li De discussed with the senior craftsmen who were studying the project to improve the internal combustion engine into a miniaturized version and combine it with the sewing equipment to produce a powered equipment.

The advantage is that it can be processed quickly. The disadvantage is that it will continue to work after starting the power. This requires improvements to the ruler and other components on the equipment so that the skin will not deviate on the equipment.

Li De believes that all internal combustion engines combine all production equipment that need power, which will inevitably improve production efficiency.

The concept he gave was to gradually abandon manual equipment. It seemed simple and actually the most difficult thing they needed to do was to develop a smaller version of the internal combustion engine.

Only small internal combustion engines can achieve greater roles in various equipment, and senior craftsmen have always regarded this project as a key research and development content.

The main problem of being able to decide whether to reduce it is in the iron smelting process. The most important thing is to improve the iron process to make it stronger.

With the pressure given by Li De, senior craftsmen will do their best to carry out research and development, and supply a large amount of iron ore resources and experiment at will.

What Li De asked was not to make them smelting iron but steelmaking. The main reason was that craftsmen needed to master the carbon special ratio, so they needed to conduct a lot of experiments.

This is also an attempt to make steel, and iron products can no longer meet the current industrial needs.

Especially the automobile industry cannot make internal combustion engines so large, which takes up so much space, and not so much iron, which is also very heavy, which increases the consumption of kerosene, which is a waste in terms of cost consumption.

If you want to change, you can only rely on innovation and improve your technical level.

After Li De's request, the craftsmen in the Blacksmith's Workshop couldn't sleep anymore. After taking the job as Li De's request, the city guard office gave 10 million yuan of R&D funds.

After the production of the Blacksmith Workshop was made, it received funding from the City Shoufu, and it was still so huge. Then it mobilized tens of thousands of craftsmen to start brainstorming.

Senior craftsmen work harder.

Most people spend all their time betting on production, while senior craftsmen have already begun to try iron smelting. In order to conduct experiments, the materials used for iron smelting are not used much, and if they fail, they will not be wasted.

The blast furnace iron smelting method of the Blacksmith Workshop is already a relatively advanced technology. In this technology factory, craftsmen have been trying it through some suggestions from Li De.

In three days, several iron smelting furnaces in the Blacksmith Workshop have not stopped. The iron smelting was varied, and various attempts were made to make some progress.

The steel refined is softer than iron. If Li De knew that he would laugh, he would not laugh but be happy. If he had processed it into steel wire, it would be its real function.

But Li De doesn’t have to worry. Senior craftsmen are not given for nothing. Every product refined will undergo various tests. What is suitable for and what is not suitable will be concluded in the test.

The custom-made sewing equipment of merchants has been delivered, and it is not a problem for tens of thousands of craftsmen to make hundreds of sewing equipment.

From building a rough embryo to assembling various accessories and polishing, the production process has long been formed for the craftsmen of the workshop, and hundreds of products have not used one-third of the productivity.

After the merchants got the equipment, they immediately began to build a new leather processing workshop. With the construction of a new workshop, more people needed to do the work.

The workers in Youzhou have once again become in short supply, and many workers can only recruit from other cities and counties.

The leather workshop opened is like Li De thought about it, all adopting batch processing mode, with experienced craftsmen using sewing equipment to drill holes, and all the threading and sewing work is left to the helpers to complete.

With the help of equipment, a leather workshop only requires hiring dozens of experienced craftsmen to drive the production of No. 100 workshops.

The income of experienced leather masters also increases with the increase in workload. Many leather craftsmen have already reached the level of senior craftsmen in the blacksmith workshop.
