Chapter 16:23 Tolerance

The Dao Ling who brushed his sleeves away really became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

Although he has been cultivating for many years, Dao Ling is still a rare hot temper in Daomen. However, no matter how hot his temper is, Dao Ling will not be angry in front of outsiders and turn around to be angry with his own children.

Thorn Island Xuanjue thought that Dao Ling would go to the Confession Rock, but he didn't expect that the Dao Ling did not go to the direction of the Confession Rock at all, but went directly to Qingfeng Stream.

In the breeze, Dao Kui was stroking the qin, and when he heard Dao Ling's angry footsteps, the piano sounded for a while, and a murmur appeared.

Dao Ling snorted and said, "Since you are upset, don't spoil this Great Sage's relic." ”

Dao Kui hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Dao Order." ”

Dao Ling said: "Afraid that I will go to Tongyunliu for trouble again?" ”

Dao Kui said: "You are not this kind of person. ”

Dao Ling snorted and said, "You are so impetuous, why are you so impetuous?" ”

Dao Kui said: "The spinning machine and loom on the Tongyunliu Codex have been made. ”

"The result?"

As Tong Yunliu said. As long as it is built on the edge of the river and relies on water power, it can spin and weave cloth day and night. Moreover, the yarn spindles and cloth spun are even and delicate, which is only slightly worse than the cloth of the weaving Fushanggong. Ordinary people can't have such craftsmanship when they are idle. ”

"Really?"

"Yes. Elder Fan Dao has organized manual experiments several times. As Tong Yunliu said, whether it is a spindle or a cloth, it comes out quickly and well. The common people, even the most diligent women, can make five horses in three days. But with this machine, don't say five horses in three days. Even five horses a day is not a problem, and the quality is slightly better. I'm afraid that as soon as this thing comes out, the people of the world will have less than two jobs to subsidize their families. ”

It's the same as a cocoon. It's not that the spinning machine and loom are bad, but the spinning machine and loom are so good that people are afraid to use them.

If Dao Kui was the head of an ordinary family, with such a sharp weapon in his hand, Dao Kui would definitely not let go easily.

But Dao Kui is Dao Kui after all. He thinks about the big picture. If this thing becomes a harmful thing, Dao Kui will definitely put it on the shelf.

Dao Ling obviously thought of this as well.

Daomen is indeed short of money. However, if the solution will harm the interests of the people, the Dao Ling would rather continue to lack money.

Dao Ling came and went in a few circles. Suddenly, he said: "Do you think that if I don't use it, what is the possibility that these things will be shelved in the end?" ”

Dao Kui was silent for a while, and said, "If Tong Yunliu insists on pushing it out. Princess Changle will definitely help. Lin family. This time the salt fertilizer, the Lin family is afraid that they have borne a lot of pressure. If there is something else for them to get rid of the hot potato, it will not harm the interests of the family, I am afraid that the children of the Lin family will not refuse. In addition, it is the ...... of each family"

Dao Kui knows very well that the reason why these families have been able to persist in the chaotic times for three hundred years is that they rely on financial resources in addition to the admirable family spirit and unyielding will.

If there are not enough financial resources. It is impossible to resist the iron hooves of the alien race with flesh and blood alone.

These spinning machines and looms. Even if the Daomen doesn't want to use it, the family will still use it. It's not that the family doesn't know that these things will have a great negative impact on the people's livelihood, but that there are many families, and most of them have not yet reached the level of Taoism.

Dao Ling thought for a while and said, "Tongyunliu, this girl has always taken one step and looked at three steps. This kind of problem, he will not be blind. ”

Dao Kui was helpless.

Dao Kui can proudly say that even if they know that this spinning machine and loom can bring great benefits, their Dao Sect also has the strength to restrain their subordinates and not waver for this huge benefit; As a descendant of a thousand-year-old family, Dao Kui can also say that his family, the Lu family, and the big family of the same level as the Lu family, also have the courage to resist such a huge temptation.

However, those of the middle families may not be able to resist such temptation. The medium-sized families are no better than those small families, and they have the strength to build a large enough workshop after adding new spinning machines and looms. And once there are these new spinning machines and looms, these medium-sized families will have considerable financial resources, and with sufficient financial resources, these medium-sized families will have the confidence to challenge the big families.

Dao Kui can't guarantee that every mid-level family will be able to resist such a huge temptation. And in the face of threats from below, the Great Family will not relax, and it is impossible for them to watch their status be threatened in vain.

In the end, even those great families knew that this new spinning machine and weaving machine would have a great impact on the lives of the people, and they would still strive to take this new machine into their own hands.

At that time, even if the Lu family was Daokui's own family, even if the Lu family was very polite to Daokui now, in the face of the fate of the family, if Daokui hindered the future of the Lu family, if Daokui caused the status of the Lu family to be damaged, it would also attract the resentment of the Lu family.

Therefore, under the circumstance that the status of the Lu family may decline as a result, Dao Kui cannot affect the Lu family.

Or, if the head of the Lu family, who is now a guest on Yuqing Mountain, knows the power of this new spinning machine and loom, even if he loses his life, the head of the Lu family will break through the rock of repentance.

Now that Dao Ling said this, Dao Kui was also relieved.

At least, you don't have to worry about your lay descendants regretting for the future of the family, resulting in lingering sickness in the future or even giving up your life.

For the sake of the world and the livelihood of the people, Dao Ling finally took a step back and ended his confinement of Jia Jiu. In other words, Jia Jiu doesn't have to stay in the Confession Rock all day long. Of course, if Jia Jiu himself was willing to stay in the Confession Rock to practice, the Dao Ling would not interfere.

When Jia Jiu, who received the pardon, came to Qingfeng Stream, he was still faced with a stinky Taoist order.

Dao Ling looked at Jia Jiu, who came to him and was still sad and joyless, I don't know why, I was angry in my heart.

Dao Ling said: "Tongyunliu, do you know. Why this seat ends your confinement? ”

Jia Jiu replied, "I don't know. ”

Dao Ling was very angry: "Didn't you expect this when you handed over the things to Ou Yeyuan?" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "If you reply to the Dao Order, the disciple only hopes." The spinning machine and the loom could be spread all over the world, and at that time, the world would notice the role of manganese steel because of these two machines, and the art of smelting would be developed. As for the disciples, for the disciples, the Confession Rock is a good place to practice the Nine Yang Heavenly Formula, therefore. In the hearts of the disciples, the grounding of the disciples to the rock of repentance is not a punishment for the disciples, but an appreciation for the disciples. ”

Dao Ling heard. It's even angrier.

But after the anger, Dao Ling had to admit that this Tongyun flowed, whether it was good fortune or heart. It's all the best choice.

If the fortune is not enough. Of course, it will not be found that the Confession Rock is of great benefit to the cultivation of the Nine Yang Heavenly Formula; If it weren't for the commendable nature, I was afraid that I would have been busy complaining about the world for a long time, where would I cherish my time, calm down, and cultivate hard?

Hearing Jia Jiu say this, and thinking about Jia Jiu's performance these days, the anger in Dao Ling's heart subsided a little.

"If you say so, then. Don't forget to practice diligently in the future. In addition, "the Tao Ling changed his words. "Do you know the impact of the new spinning machines and looms on the world?" ”

Jia Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "What does Dao Ling mean that these two machines will take the fate of the cocoon in the future?" ”

"Yes."

Jia Jiu said: "The reason why the columbladder will be eliminated is because of the continuous improvement of grain seeds, so that the people do not need to cultivate five or six hundred acres of land to support their families, and secondly, because the land of the high-ranking households is higher than the demand for manpower. However, looms and spinning machines are different. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Jia Jiu replied: "First, whether it is a loom or a spinning machine, even if he is improved again, it can only process some conventional cloth and satin. Precious fabrics such as finch gold fur and finch fur, which need to be blended with the feathers of birds, can only be made by old techniques. In other words, people no longer waste their time and energy on ordinary fabrics, and weave more precious fabrics, which can better supplement their homes. ”

Dao Ling listened, nodded, and said, "Go on." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Overseas porcelain, silk, and tea in China are very sought after, even if it is a few big dollars and a pound of coarse tea, if it is placed overseas, it can be sold for gold, and the supply is still in short supply." However, even if our Central Plains has made a lot of money in overseas trade, only a few powerful families have benefited. And these people, who were given gold, silver, jewelry, and spices, were mostly hidden in the treasury. The people didn't get much out of it. ”

Dao Ling's heart moved, and he said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Actually, the disciple knows that in many places overseas, grain can be ripened three times a year, and in some places, the grain is simply rotting in the ground in vain. We lack copper ore in Daqi, so bad money is rampant, and unscrupulous merchants are even more obstructive and minting private coins, which makes the lives of the people even worse. As a matter of fact, after our Daqi cargo ships go out full of ships, they can also bring back grain and various minerals from overseas. ”

Dao Ling said: "This is what the imperial court should do. ”

But above the court, most of the people were blindfolded and covered their ears, and they could not see the outside world or hear the suffering of the people. There are some things that the imperial court is unwilling to do, but we can do it. Of course, seeing the benefits, the Maison can also do it. When the Maisons saw the great benefits of overseas trade, they turned their eyes away from the land. This is good for alleviating land annexation and peace in the world. ”

"It's not easy to get the family to take their eyes off the land."

"yes. In fact, while promoting overseas trade, the disciple once thought about reforming the tax system and money law. It's a pity ......"

It's a pity that he is not a man and cannot step into the court.

It's a pity that today's king is not a Ming monarch, even if the other party knows his ability, he will only limit himself to the harem.

So, to do something, you need to take a detour.

Dao Ling said: "You are using the Dao Gate. ”

Jia Jiu replied: "It's okay for Dao Ling to say so. In fact, disciples prefer to say that disciples bring new opportunities and challenges to the Daomen. ”

Dao Ling looked at Jia Jiu, and seeing that the disciple in front of him still had the same expression, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that you have already had a comprehensive plan. ”

"Yes." Jia Jiu also knew that it was best for him to give a full account at this time, so that he might be able to win enough support, so he immediately said: "Actually, the disciple also designed a brand new iron boat for it, carrying tens of thousands of catties ......."

Dao Ling said angrily: "Nonsense! Even if an iron ship can float on the water, how can it move except for the currents? And more importantly, how can ordinary rivets be waterproof? If you're talking about welding, then you should also know that things that have been welded can't withstand the perennial corrosion of seawater. ”

If the waterproof process is not up to standard, then wait for the shipwreck.

Dao Ling felt that Jia Jiu was simply entertaining himself.

Dao Kui hurriedly pleaded: "Dao Ling, the younger generation thinks that there are some things that cannot be achieved if you don't really experience them." Why don't you let Tongyunliu try? ”

Dao Ling said angrily: "Do you use human life to experiment? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Disciples can experiment in the rivers first. Salt fertilizer is now needed everywhere, and it is clear that it is faster to transport it by water......"

Dao ordered: "Then the ship has an accident, and the people on both sides of the strait are also poisoned by salt and fertilizer by the way, right?" ”

Jia Jiu saw that Dao Ling's expression was wrong, so he had to shut up.

Dao Ling was angry.

Jia Jiu didn't dare to talk back. He knew that if he talked too much at this time, he was afraid that Dao Ling would be even more angry.

On the contrary, it was Daokui, he thought about it, and said: "Gyeonggi has to buy grain from Jiangnan every year. It may not be possible to transport salt and fertilizer, but it is better to transport grain. Dao Ling, if there is not much profit from overseas trade, then there will not be so many sea ships on the Jinling side. Now these people of Fanbang see that I am so powerful, and they may only dare to do business. If there is chaos in the Central Plains in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make other plans. After all, their ship has arrived at my doorstep. There are some things that are good to plan ahead. No matter how bad an iron ship is, at least, steel is better defensive than wood. ”

Dao Ling was silent for a while, and said, "Is the enemy thousands of miles away?" ”

"Yes."

After Dao Ling walked around the grass pavilion twice, Fang said, "That's it." Since this is the case, let Tongyunliu go to the Sword Forge Valley. Let Ouyelu keep a good eye on him. In addition, the resources that Tongyunliu can call should not exceed one-third of the Jinyi Daozi line. ”

Jia Jiu originally thought that Dao Ling would sneer at the iron ship, and he had to find another way to implement his great navigation plan, but he didn't expect that in the end, Dao Ling would give in and give him a certain amount of resources.

Jia Jiu sincerely kowtowed to Dao Ling and Dao Kui, and then got up to leave. (To be continued.) )
