Chapter XVI, Section 29 Decisions

As soon as Lu Che left, Ou Yehua said, "Senior sister, you just let him go?" He is the head of the Lu family. As long as you give it to him, he will definitely make the most of it. ”

Jia Jiu said: "If I can, I don't want to give him anything." But the truth is, I would only end up giving him a pedal spinning machine. ”

"Why?"

Ouyehu didn't understand.

Jia Jiu replied: "Because it's very simple, not only sheep can eat people, but even rabbits can eat people. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Because man is profit-seeking."

Ou Yehu wanted to ask again, but Jia Jiu didn't want to say it anymore.

He spent so many points to redeem these things, but the final result was still to be shelved, and Jia Jiu's mood was naturally not good.

The history of Britain tells Jia Jiu that sheep eating people has become a reality in another world, although there are families in the East, and the families in the East are not comparable to the Western nobles who only know pleasure in the other world, whether it is ethics or conduct.

What Jia Jiu didn't believe in was those Dousheng Xiaomin.

There is nothing wrong with ordinary people wanting to live a good life, and if they want to live a good life, they need more money, which is not the fault of the people, but the reality of this world. The problem is that once every family starts spinning and weaving with new machines, then the time and energy spent by each family will inevitably be tilted towards weaving. In that case, families will spend less time and energy on farming than in the past. Again, this will cause the prices of raw materials, i.e. wool, rabbit fur and cotton, to climb rapidly. And the price of wool rabbit wool cotton climbed. It will also lead to large-scale sheep raising, rabbit raising and cotton cultivation among the people. If something happens at this time, it is almost equivalent to the rhythm of starving to death the people of the whole territory.

Unless there is another source of food.

Actually, Jia Jiu also knows. If the Great Voyage Program can be carried out smoothly, and if a large amount of grain can be obtained from overseas, then it will be of practical significance to promote new spinning machines and looms. However, Jia Jiu didn't want to take the risk.

Jia Jiu said to himself: "Some people may say that there is no need to worry about it at all with the vast land and vast resources of the Celestial Empire, and some people may estimate optimistically. As long as the Great Voyage Program is fully implemented, there will be no problem. However, as an initiator, I insisted. Any reform must be preceded by conservative and conservative. Even if you are scolded for being a coward, even if you are scolded for shrinking your hands and delaying the opportunity. I'd rather learn from Sima Guang, who is rejuvenated at home, than be Wang Anshi, who is resolute and resolute. Although Sima Guang is conservative, he has proved it. His policy of lightening the urgency and delaying the use of urgency is the most effective way to protect the interests of the people. Although Wang Anshi is resolute. Even if his original intentions were good, he did not think carefully about it, and even when he encountered problems, he used the words 'reform will always encounter problems' to perfunctory, and as a result, in the end, it still caused great harm to the people, and even the family wealth accumulated by the kings of the Northern Song Dynasty for more than 100 years was completely ruined. And his reforms, in the end, only achieved a few corrupt officials and corrupt families. ”

Jia Jiu is such a person. He would rather choose to carry everything on his own. I don't want the people to suffer because they are not thorough.

Because he knows that if he needs money or loses a sum of money. He can afford it, and he knows how to get a sum of money to fill the hole, but for the people, a mistake by the above people is likely to lead to the destruction of their family.

Jia Jiu knew that those families must have food in stock, and if they really encountered a famine, these families would also take out money and food to help the people as soon as possible. However, Jia Jiu will not pin his hopes on others. Since it was he who aroused the people's enthusiasm for textiles, it was up to him to bear the consequences.

Throwing the burden of reform to others is not Jia Jiu's style. Since Jia Jiu, as the initiator, has gained certain benefits in the reform, he also has to bear the negative impact of the reform. As long as the benefits do not bear the consequences, it is a sign of irresponsibility.

This is what Jia Jiu taught in that life.

Jia Jiu will not run away.

Ou Yehu's responsibility for monitoring Jia Jiu has long been an open secret in the Daomen, as long as everyone who should know knows this, even Jia Jiu himself knows it very well. So, when it's time to speak, he still speaks, unless he's really in a bad mood and doesn't want to say it.

Lu Che visited the Sword Forge Valley, and later that day he presented the book case of the Dao Order. Also on the bookcase of the Dao Ling was the conversation between Jia Jiu and Ou Yehu—a complete record of the conversation without any rhetoric.

After Dao Ling saw this record, he was silent for a while before sending a message to Dao Kui: "Ask Tong Yunliu what work needs to be done in advance if you want to implement this new machine." ”

Just like the Lu family, Daomen also needs money, grain, and cloth.

Since this new spinning machine, the new loom, can bring a lot of wealth, it is impossible for the Daomen to keep these machines out. Moreover, there are some things that are not used by the Daomen, and there will be people who use them. Moreover, things are out of the Daomen, even if the Daomen are not used, the Daomen will still be responsible in the end.

Therefore, it is better to have things in your hands from the beginning and control the scene in the future.

This is a deliberate decision of the Dao Ling.

The next day, Dao Kui reported to Dao Ling: "Tong Yunliu said that if we start building sea ships now, then, before the new spinning machine is popular all over the world, our Daomen will be able to get enough food first." And enough food is also a prerequisite for ensuring the stability of the whole world. ”

Dao Ling snorted and said, "He still hasn't forgotten his big sailing plan, hasn't he?" ”

Dao Kui said: "Dao Ling, what Tong Yunliu is worried about is also the most unavoidable problem in the implementation of new machines. The people are dull, and if they are forced, they are not beautiful. Since the Daomen can do this, it should naturally escort the people. ”

"Hmph. I didn't say his worries were wrong. ”

Although Dao Ling was dissatisfied, he also knew that what Dao Kui said was reasonable. Dousheng Xiaomin only cares about the clothes on his body and food in his mouth, and his family can solve the problem of food and clothing. A little money in their hands can let them drink a little wine during the New Year, which is already very beautiful. There are some things that the people have seen. They don't have the strength to do it.

On the contrary, Daomen has the strength and the ability to do it. This is given to the Daomen by God, and the Daomen should also bear this responsibility.

Dao Ling was silent for a while before he said, "Let Tong Yunliu take out his iron ship plan." If you can, this seat is reported to Zhongqing Mountain. ”

For every person and every force in the land of China, land is the foundation of everything. So, when the Daomen was buying the Grange. Always extra generous. This is also why when Jia Jiu bought so many Zhuangzi in northern Xinjiang, he almost encountered few obstacles. Because what Jia Jiu used was originally the money of the Daomen. Many of those Zhuangzi are hung in the name of the Daomen. It was Jia Jiu who got millions of taels of silver worth of money every year to support the salt and fertilizer industry, and that was also the money and grain that Jia Jiu sent from those Zhuangzi.

However, in addition to the expenditure on real estate. Daomen's spending elsewhere has always been very tight. And Jia Jiu needs to start the Great Voyage Program. The initial amount of resources spent is not small. In addition, the requirements of the Dao Order for Jia Jiu are also very strict, so it is necessary to report to Zhongqingshan in advance.

Dao Ling didn't feel that there was anything wrong with reporting to Zhong Qingshan, and Jia Jiu didn't think that there would be any problems with Dao Ling asking him to come up with relevant plans first.

Plans or something, it's all too common in another world. In another world, without an engineering plan, who will invest in you? Without a return, who would be willing to throw money at it?

In Ou Yehua's desire to speak and stop. Jia Jiu sorted out the materials prepared in advance and handed them over to him.

Dao Ling got the documents sent by Ou Yehu. When I opened it, I said, "It's not an iron ship." ”

Ou Yehu said honestly below: "Senior sister said, the iron boat craft is not something that can be achieved overnight. Especially the current welding technology, it is not up to par at all. Therefore, after studying the available information, the younger sister suggested that the reason why the existing ships could not be built larger was because of the keel. Because of the limitation of wood, the size of the keel is also limited. The younger sister suggested that she could try to make a keel out of steel. Behind it are the various parameters and related processes that the junior sister analyzed. ”

Dao Ling does not know how to build ships, but Daomen has its own dock, and naturally there are craftsmen who build ships.

When the old craftsman heard that someone was going to cast a keel out of steel, he was furious: "Nonsense! Who in the world makes keels out of iron?! Such a brittle thing, it won't take a few years to finish! It's not about asking for human life?!!! Which of the eight lambs is used to entertain Lao Tzu?!!! ”

The Taoist boy who asked the question truthfully brought back the words of the old craftsman.

Dao Ling frowned and was silent for a while before he called Ou Yehu: "What do you think about making keels from steel?" ”

Ou Yehua said: "Huidao Ling, regarding the matter of casting, the disciple has only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg. Before getting the senior sister's codex, the disciple never thought that when the manganese stone was added to one percent, it would greatly enhance the toughness of the steel. Therefore, even if the disciple has never tried, the disciple believes that Tongyunliu will definitely succeed. ”

Dao Ling pondered for a while, and suddenly asked a question that seemed unrelated: "What do you think, how about letting Tong Yunliu stay in Sword Casting Valley?" ”

Ou Yehua thought for a while and said, "If Dao Ling doesn't want his junior sister to take over the Jinyi Daozi lineage, then letting his junior sister stay in Sword Casting Valley is not an option. Senior sister, the disciple is saying that Tong Yunliu is extremely talented in both casting and management. Similarly, his talent in martial arts is also very impressive. The disciple believed that if Tong Yunliu focused on martial arts, his achievements would definitely not be lower than that of Senior Brother Broken Fengchen. ”

In Ou Yehu's opinion, if it weren't for the deliberate pressure on Jia Jiu from above, this little junior sister would not have become the current golden-clothed Taoist long ago. Of course, at that time, it was impossible for him to call each other by the words "junior sister", but he had to call his uncle and perform the disciple salute instead.

Dao Ling said: "You are wrong. In terms of cultivation, Tongyunliu has surpassed the wind and dust. Don't forget, he has already obtained the highest token of the Silver Cloth Daozi Assessment. ”

Ou Yehu blurted out: "But, isn't that assessment uncountable?" ”

Dao Ling said: "Whether it is not counting or banning, it is just a constraint on Tongyunliu, not that Tongyunliu's cultivation is inferior to people." ”

Dao Ling also went up to Yuqing Mountain, and he used to be a silver-clothed Daozi, so he naturally knew how difficult it was for the silver-clothed Daozi to be assessed, and how difficult it was to get the highest token for the silver-clothed Daozi assessment. Therefore, even if he said that he didn't count in the assessment, in his heart, he still admitted Jia Jiu.

Dao Ling said: "This Tongyunliu, obviously the candidate of the gold-clothed Daozi but got the highest token of the silver-clothed Daozi assessment, and I don't know whether it is fate or calamity, for you silver-clothed Daozi candidates, I don't know whether this matter is good or bad." ”

Ouyehu didn't dare to speak.

As one of the current candidates for the silver-clothed Daozi, Jia Jiu, the junior sister of the golden-clothed Daozi, actually got the highest token of the silver-clothed Daozi's assessment, which naturally had a great impact on him. He likes to forge swords, and once he stands in front of the iron furnace, he can calm down, so the influence is still within an acceptable range, even if he has a wave in his heart, he has also calmed down after casting a few swords.

But Ou Yehua can't guarantee that his brothers and sisters can adjust their mentality in a short period of time like him.

And the person who worries Ouyehua the most is the broken wind. Breaking Fengchen is a person who pursues perfection, and it is imperative to obtain the highest token in the assessment of Yinyi Daozi. But the more such people are, the easier it is to go crazy. Even Ouyelu, who is obsessed with casting, knows that the stimulation of the broken wind and dust is definitely not small.

In addition, there are dust-free children. As a senior brother, Wuchenzi has been stuck on the silver-clothed Daozi candidate for many years, and he hasn't even gotten the ordinary silver-clothed Daozi assessment token. However, the young Jia Jiu got the highest token of the Yinyi Daozi assessment, and even Ou Yehua was very worried about the impact of this incident on him.

Dao Ling quickly cleaned up his mood and said, "That's it, you and Tong Yunliu will try to build a ship with a steel keel first." First test at the Bibo Lake at the foot of Yuqing Mountain, and then sail into the river if you can. As for the sea ships that Tong Yunliu said, they should also prepare in advance. Daomen also has a dock in the south of the Yangtze River, so let Jinling cooperate with one or two, and buy a few ships first. The most important thing is to find the food first. ”

When the old man on the side heard this, he frowned and said, "Dao Ling, overseas trade is quite profitable. Ten times the profit is said to be the least. Isn't it inappropriate to use it to find food? ”

Dao Ling looked at the document in his hand and said: "Lao Dao doesn't like Tongyunliu, it's a fact, but Tongyunliu has a saying, and Lao Dao is the most appreciative." ”

"What?"

"In everything in the world, the people come first." (To be continued.) )
