On the capital Liu Jin Mansion, the days of not having to go to the morning court are too comfortable, especially the weather is getting colder and colder, the cold wind is howling, the snowflakes are fluttering, and I get up at three o'clock in the morning to prepare to go to the morning court, that feeling, I feel trembling when I think about it.

Hugging left and right, hugging his two flower-like wives and sleeping until they wake up naturally, they are in a good mood and have a morning exercise or something, isn't it fragrant on this small day?

Anyway, Liu Jin is happy, he doesn't want to go to any early dynasty, saying that in two months, if he doesn't finish his cultivation, Liu Jin will definitely not go to work.

Drinking morning tea and eating breakfast, Liu Jin also read the newspaper leisurely.

Who came to read the newspaper before the crossing?

But now, there seems to be no other choice than reading the newspaper, and after slowly forming a habit, Liu Jin feels that it is actually good to read the newspaper every day.

"Daming Medical Newspaper is also done, now not only doctors from all over Daming will subscribe, even ordinary people will also subscribe, read books and newspapers, it can be regarded as able to grow knowledge, eye-opening, in this era of extremely scarce means of knowledge dissemination, the sales of newspapers are really good."

While reading the newspaper, Liu Jin also pondered carefully.

Daming Medical News is published once a week, because with the help of the channel of Daming Morning Post, sales have soared all of a sudden, and in just a few issues, the sales of Daming Medical News have exceeded 300,000 copies.

Not only in the Beijing-Tianjin region, but also in the native provinces of the Ming Dynasty, overseas provinces, as well as the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom, Korea, Luzon, and even the various countries in the Nanyang region, there are people who will order the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the delivery is much slower, this does not prevent people in these places from reading newspapers, and many people have developed the habit of reading newspapers, and they feel uncomfortable not reading them for a day.

300,000 copies sold, which is an extremely frightening number.

At the beginning, the first issue of the Ming Morning Post was only printed in 10,000 copies, and of course, now the sales of the Ming Morning Post have exceeded one million copies per issue.

So many people read newspapers, and those who can read newspapers, and those who are willing to buy newspapers, are the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and they slowly form some influence on these through newspapers.

This is what Liu Jin really wants to achieve.

The successful issuance of Daming Medical Newspaper can popularize a lot of medical knowledge to Daming and spread correct values and ideas.

Everyone is afraid of death, what the doctor said, compared to the average person, is still more convincing, the doctor said that early marriage is not good for the child's health, it is easy to lead to the death of the child.

Maybe people won't believe it at first, but if you can come up with some data or typical cases, it will be more convincing, so that everyone will believe it slowly, and it will naturally change slowly.

Daming, it not only wants to continue to expand to the world and colonize the world, but also Liu Jin knows better that what really restricts the development of this great country and nation is not what is seen on the surface.

Rather, it is deeply ingrained ideas and culture.

There are some things that should be sealed to the land with the ancestors, instead of endangering the next generation from generation to generation, and the change of ideology can truly liberate the shackles that bind this nation and country and let it really take off.

"Take your time~"

Thinking of this, Liu Jin smiled and continued to read.

After reading the Daming Morning Post and the Daming Medical News, Liu Jin quickly flipped through the Daming Business Daily.

Daming Business Daily is a newspaper dedicated to introducing business-related information, which was not run by Liu Jin, but by the bosses of these commercial banks and factory owners in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

"The price of wool and cotton has risen again~"

"And this time it's even bigger."

Soon, Liu Jin saw an extremely important piece of information.

The price of cotton and wool has risen sharply again.

At the end of last year, the price of cotton rose sharply, almost so that the Ming court decided to immediately attack the Western Regions to obtain cotton, and later Liu Jin found a way to get wool to replace cotton, so this is the matter of wool and cotton becoming an important textile raw material together.

Originally, Liu Jin thought that after having wool, coupled with the fact that some people in Beizhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Henan provinces had seen the price of cotton this year, and were planting cotton on a large scale.

This year, the situation should be better, but I didn't expect the situation to be more serious.

The price of cotton and wool has skyrocketed, even higher than last year's.

"It shouldn't be enough~"

"As far as I know, this year's cotton planting area in Daming is more than ten times larger, and the wool output on the grassland is also many times larger, but it can't meet the demand for cotton from these textile enterprises in Daming?"

Liu Jin frowned, feeling a little incredible.

After thinking about it, he immediately got up, ready to go to Wang Shouren to understand the situation, Wang Shouren's home Beijing Caiyun Textile Factory is the largest textile factory in the entire Ming Dynasty, a garment factory, and must be very clear about the market situation.

Beijing Caiyun Textile Factory here, Wang Shouren is also sad at this time, the family took advantage of their own time to lead the troops to Nanyang, did not listen to their own arrangements, and this year and large-scale expansion of the scale of Caiyun Textile Factory.

Not only did a large branch factory be built in Tianjin, but also two branches were opened in Songhu and Zhejiang's hometown, and the three new branches were very large, even larger than the factory here in Beijing.

Such a huge scale, but also the north and south at the same time, although the weaving and spinning capacity of Caiyun Textile Factory has soared, but it has also brought an extremely serious problem.

That is the need for more raw materials and a larger market.

Fortunately in terms of the market, with the Ming Dynasty's global colonization, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty traveled to and from five oceans and seven continents, and sold the goods of the Ming Dynasty to the world in a steady stream, and the cloth business was the best of all the businesses.

The cloth of the Ming Dynasty is not only cheap, but also the pattern, the color is bright, and it is strong and durable, and it is sold all over the world.

The natives of the Golden Continent also like the cloth of the Ming Dynasty, the Middle Easterners, the Persians, and even the Portuguese on this side of the Indian Ocean also like the cloth of the Ming Dynasty, and the sales are very large, and the boatloads of cloth are shipped to all over the world, but they are not enough to sell.

But now there is an extremely serious problem.

The price of raw materials has skyrocketed, and the key is that it is still very difficult to buy.

This time, it wasn't someone who was deliberately hoarding, but a normal market reaction.

"I told you a long time ago, don't build a new factory this year, don't build a new factory this year."

"It's okay now, cotton and wool can't be bought, and so many people, so many machines, all have to stop."

Wang Shouren looked at Wang Gui and Wang Fu and said that these two people have been managing Caiyun Textile Factory.

"Young master, where do we dare not listen to you, all this is what the master demands."

"The lord said, now everyone is desperately expanding, if we don't keep up, there will be no way to maintain the position of the market leader, which is absolutely not allowed to happen to our Wang family."

"So despite your repeated admonitions, the young master still requires us to expand and maintain our leading position."

Wang Gui said helplessly.

The Wang family is still Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua has the final say, although Wang Shouren's current official position does not seem to be much lower than his father.

"Lao Wang~Lao Wang~"

At this time, Liu Jin, who was smiling, walked over with Zhu Houzhao and smiled.

Because he was at the same time as Wang Shouren, and he went on several expeditions together, they were all old acquaintances, so Liu Jin liked to call Wang Shouren Lao Wang in private.

Eh, a bad taste from the afterlife, the old king next door.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Wang Shouren hurriedly and respectfully led people to salute.

"Exempt~"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand indifferently, Liu Jin is really, what are you doing with yourself in this textile factory, there is nothing fun.

"Lao Wang, I came to you this time, I want to find you to understand why the price of wool and cotton has suddenly risen sharply, if I am not mistaken, the output of wool and cotton has increased many times this year, and there should be no skyrocketing prices."

Liu Jin didn't have any nonsense, so he asked directly.

"Oops~"

"I'm worried about that, too."

"When we went to Nanyang to go on the expedition, my family opened several branches without consulting me, and opened three large branches in Tianjin, Songhu, and Zhejiang, and now the prices of wool and cotton are soaring, and I am going to die of headaches."

Speaking of this, Wang Shouren also sighed helplessly and said.

"Your family has three branches in a row?"

"Last year, didn't you say that you emphasized ready-to-wear?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, he immediately understood why the price of cotton and wool had skyrocketed.

In the final analysis, it is the urine nature of the Chinese people.

In any industry or industry, as long as you see someone getting rich, you will immediately crowd in, and everyone will rush into this industry.

In a very short period of time, the industry will be crowded and turned into a red ocean.

In the textile industry of the Ming Dynasty, there are too many people who have tasted the sweetness in front, relying on new spinning machines and looms, rapid accumulation and development.

Others have seen that they have entered the industry, and the past two years have ushered in explosive development, there are too many new factories opened in Daming, and I don't know how many new spinning machines and looms there are.

Even if the production of cotton and wool is increased, it will not be able to stop the crazy investment of Ming merchants, landlords, big families and so on into this textile industry.

Especially this year, the south of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan and other regions began to exert force, the new factories, looms and looms, etc., naturally the price of cotton and wool will soar.
