Bashu is a good place, the country of abundance is not called in vain, in addition to grain, salt, there is also cloth.

Shu brocade, one of the four famous brocades.

In this era, Shu brocade has appeared, side by side with the splendid embroidery of Jiangdong, it is the best in the cloth, the most commonly used raw material for cutting clothes by dignitaries, and it is also the largest commodity exported by Bashu.

If you want to control the economy of Bashu, the cloth market must be controlled.

While paying attention to the salt market, Mujing is also laying out the cloth market.

Yanhuang history for thousands of years, from the beginning of the tribal era, the concept of clan has become strong, salt has a salt merchant family, Shu brocade also has a Shu brocade wealthy clan, in the land of Shu brocade, basically controlled by a few families.

But compared with the salt merchant family, these families who control the weaving method of Shu brocade are more low-key, and more importantly, no matter who is in charge, they all try their best to cooperate with the government's taxes, so Mu Jing has not moved their minds.

However, for the cloth market, Mujing must take the initiative.

He has been thinking about where to open the gap without being too tough, everyone wants to live in peace, and Mu Jing is not a person who fights and kills at every turn.

What he hopes is that he can control the initiative, not that he is not accustomed to these cloth and silk hao clans, but as the master in charge of Yizhou, he must take precautions for everything.

Once he does something to the salt merchant family, it will inevitably make some people feel in crisis.

He couldn't give these people any chance to connect with him.

Of course, the study of hydraulic manufacturing machines is not only for this reason, but also for the purpose of making the times begin to progress, and a process from manpower to hydraulic power represents a big step forward in the times.

According to the history known to Makijing, it seems that the hydraulic machine only appeared from the West in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and then was quickly eliminated by the industrial age.

In an era when it was only the second century, it was possible to appear in the East.

He's already happy.

"I will send people from Jingping Commercial Bank to find a suitable place along the river and establish a hydraulic weaving workshop, which can be regarded as a joint stock of Jingping Commercial Bank and Hongdu Science and Technology Institute!" Mu Jing said to Ma Su.

"Lord, at present, our science and technology institute has sufficient funds, so you don't need to give it to us!" Ma Su said in a low voice.

At present, the Institute of Science and Technology and Jingping Commercial Bank have carried out two cooperations.

One opened a watch workshop.

The concept of clocks and watches, first appeared on a bell tower in the center of Jiangzhou City, to build this bell tower, the Science and Technology Institute and Jingping Commercial Bank have spent a lot of effort, under the clock tower, is the clock workshop.

The appearance of this clock tower has made the time algorithm of the twelve hours clear and measured, which is more accurate and clearer than those hourglasses and water leaks, and is naturally loved by countless people.

The current watch workshop, the order has been received next year, there is no time to catch up, it is not an exaggeration to say that the daily income is gold.

Another collaboration is white porcelain.

When the Academy of Science and Technology studied the glass firing method, it inadvertently fired a unique ceramic, which is brighter and cleaner than the ceramics on the market today, and has caused a shock to the entire ceramic market as soon as it is listed.

Compared with clocks and watches, which are slow to manufacture, ceramics fired in ceramic kilns are faster and more popular, and pottery bowls, pottery cups, vases, and other shops are very popular.

The income from the two projects is enough to support the current research funds of the Academy of Science and Technology.

"Changkong, you have to learn to understand the importance of knowledge and innovation!" Mu Jing patted Ma Su on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.

People who are engaged in research are relatively simple, and their concept of money is often enough, so Mu Jing wants to teach Ma Su a lesson, this science and technology institute is Mu Jing's treasure, and these people must be treated well.

"The research of a project often requires millions of dollars, more than 10 million dollars, and what is researched by the Academy of Science and Technology is the benefit you deserve!" Mu Jing asked: "Changkong, how many people are there in your science and technology institute now?" ”

"There are 321 people on the staff, and some workers on the periphery, almost more than 1,000 people!" Ma Su said.

"Most of them are not from Jiangzhou!"

"We moved down from Hanzhong, and even if we are in Hanzhong, many of them are not from Hanzhong, they were recruited by the lord from all over the world!"

"But shouldn't the Institute of Science and Technology solve their life difficulties?" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "Be kind to talents, can retain talents, the research of the Academy of Science and Technology is your knowledge for a long time, any results obtained, you should also have a share, business matters can be handed over to the outside, so as to ensure the purity of the Institute of Science and Technology, but the benefits that should be wanted, can not be less!" ”

"My lord is right, I'm too superficial!"

Ma Su reviewed: "Don't say that in this Jiangzhou city, even if it is the southern suburbs of Jiangzhou now, on the Yuzhong Peninsula, a house developed is also very expensive, our science and technology institute, if everyone wants to settle down in Jiangzhou, we really can't divide the benefits!" ”

Yuzhong Peninsula is the first time that Mujing has tested the real estate of this era, and the first phase of Jingping Commercial Bank was completed quickly.

"Changkong, you are the president of the Academy of Science and Technology, in addition to learning to research, you also learn how to manage the Academy of Science and Technology, and people's hearts cannot be dispersed!" Mu Jing said: "There should be benefits, there must be!" ”

"My subordinates understand!" Ma Su nodded.

……………………………………………………

In April of the seventh year of the first peace, time was lost, day by day, the situation in the world became more and more intense, Yuan Shu's title to the emperor, like a yin line that ignited a powder keg, Mu Jing was the first person to issue a crusade edict, and then it was the crusade of the imperial court, the crusade of Jingzhou, the crusade of Jiangdong, the crusade of Xuzhou, the crusade of Hebei, the crusade of Youzhou......

In less than ten days, Yuan Shu has become the target of the princes of the world.

Runan and Jiujiang also fell into chaos.

But this is just a denunciation, but it is not an easy thing to send troops, and who would have thought that this time to crusade against Yuan Shu, the first to send troops was not the imperial court, not Yizhou, not even Jingzhou, not Cao Cao, but the general under Yuan Shu, the general Sun Jian of Jiangdong.

After Jiangdong issued an edict announcing the crusade to the world, the speed was so fast, only five days before and after, a full 8,000 elite soldiers had been gathered, or the lord Sun Jian personally led, the momentum was mighty, crossed the Yangtze River, and invaded Xiaoyaojin.

Xiaoyaojin is the gateway to the south of the Jiujiang River.

Historically, Sun Wu and Cao Wei fought countless battles here, and after all, the way for the north to go south, and the way to go north from the south to the north cannot be bypassed, and the soldiers must fight for the place.

Yuan Shu also reacted quickly, hearing that Sun Jian had crossed the river, he was furious, and immediately sent his clansman Yuan Yin, with an army of 20,000, to enter Xiaoyaojin and block the Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

In the seventh year of the first peace, the princes who took the lead in fighting were Yuan Shu and Jiangdong Sun Jian.

The two armies met in Xiaoyaojin and carried out a major offensive and defensive battle, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses went all the way north, the momentum was like a bamboo, the morale and fighting spirit were very high, and although Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were insufficient in momentum and fighting spirit, they had the advantage in strength.

All of a sudden, the two sides were inseparable, and the entire Xiaoyaojin was covered by drums and shouts of killing.

However, in three days, the two sides fought no less than ten battles, and no less than 2,000 corpses were left in Xiaoyaojin.

On the fourth day, Jiangdong could not be attacked for a long time, and morale was frustrated, so the troops were temporarily withdrawn to rest.

……

After the Jiangdong warships withdrew from Xiaoyaojin, they anchored on the river less than 20 miles away from Xiaoyaojin, and did not go far, looking down at Xiaoyaojin all the time.

On a building ship, Sun Jian was wearing a battle armor and standing in front of him, with a burly body and a majestic momentum.

"Lord, the casualties have just been counted, and there are eight hundred and seventy-two dead and wounded!"

Cheng Pu walked up and said.

"Damn it!"

Sun Jian's face had a hint of gloom: "Although Yuan Highway's soldiers and horses are incompetent, but there are too many ants to bite people, this Yuan Yin is not a straw bag, he was born in a family, he is proficient in martial arts, and he is very difficult!" ”

After he complained, he calmed down his anger and said lightly: "Pass the order, rest for a day, and continue to attack Xiaoyaojin the day after tomorrow, and be sure to defeat Xiaoyaojin!" ”

"Lord, in fact, we have already shown our attitude at present, and we can drag it here for the time being!"

Cheng Pu suggested.

"That's not enough!"

Sun Jian shook his head: "Yuan Highway is the emperor, we have received the greatest influence, after all, we used to be his subordinates, if we don't show a desperate posture, it is easy for the princes of the world to point out as his accomplices, this Yuan Highway will die if he dies, if he drags him into the water and makes Jiangdong the public enemy of the world, it will be worth the loss!" ”

The reason why he was the first to send troops was to draw a clear line with Yuan Shu, and also to show his attitude, resolutely opposing Yuan Shu's attitude of being the emperor.

"But if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of lives!"

"That can't be helped!" Sun Jian smiled bitterly: "Jiangdong is in a hurry to capture Jiaozhou, the main force has been transferred to the south, and there are still mountains and mountains that need to be guarded, and there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, and it is absolutely impossible for people to see the emptiness, so no matter what, this battle, we must work hard, at least let people see a strong Jiangdong, otherwise if Jingzhou and Xuzhou take advantage of this time to think that my Jiangdong can be bullied, it will be troublesome!" ”
