Chapter 789: The Wool of the Great Song Dynasty

For Western Xia, their losses this time were very heavy, because Li Yuanhao's suspicion made the party's warriors kill and wound nearly 50,000 people, and this time they sent troops to the Liao Dynasty, and did not let Great Xia gain any benefits, the slaves were not captured, and Great Xia suffered heavy losses.

This is not the worst, the commander of the Chinese army, the emperor of Great Xia, and the king of the northwest actually left his warriors to save his life!

This simply disgraced the ancestors of the party members, made the people of the world see all the jokes, and also shamed the people of Great Xia, and also made everyone start to doubt that their emperor would be a coward! This behavior of the emperor even made the party and the people unable to raise their heads.

The losses of Western Xia were far more than those dead soldiers, but more of a blow to their momentum, but now the party members cared more about the amount of money in their pockets.

Even if the Western Xia was defeated, even if the population did not increase, but the production of wool did not decrease, dignity is not only fought by swords, but can also be bought with money, although the emperor abandoned those soldiers, but the sadness is only their family.

It didn't have any effect on the others, because the Great Song merchants who came to buy wool were still polite, and they didn't even mention the defeat of Great Xia, as if the defeat had never happened, and the money was still earned, and no one was missing.

Now the Xixia people compare their wealth not as much as before, but how many big Song porcelain and silk they have at home, but who has more sheep in their sheepfold, and no one has found that the habits of the party people are changing little by little, and they have not found that there are fewer and fewer fertile fields on the Hetao Plain. Wool can be exchanged for a large amount of real money and silver, and when you have money, you can naturally buy grain from the Great Song Dynasty.

At first, some people thought that it was a pity that the good good fields were turned into pastures, but when everyone was raising sheep and shearing sheep for a lot of wealth, those who grew food became madmen, madmen who couldn't get along with money.

Now the surrounding Xingqing Mansion can not see the golden harvest even in autumn, all you can see is green grassland, even the emperor's manor, the poorest people in Western Xia have to try their best to get some sheep, not much, only a dozen or so can make his life slowly better.

Such a speed of affluence is what ordinary people dream of, how can there be such a good thing in the world? The entire people of Western Xia threw themselves into this vigorous and powerful movement to get rich, and while making a lot of money, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty were very happy.

Different from ordinary business, the wool they bought from Western Xia will be subsidized by Cai Ji, or the subsidy of the three divisions of the imperial court, the imperial court for the first time abandoned the use of officials to issue subsidies, so as to become Cai Ji's account distribution, as long as the check is clear, you can receive the money on the spot, without a trace of delay, of course, the subsidy will not be too much, but just so that the merchant will not lose money when purchasing raw materials.

Where can you find such a good thing in the world?

Naturally, the merchants will not lose money, even Zhao Zhen can't let the merchants buy wool at a loss, and the merchants will put it into production when they get the raw materials, which is a virtuous circle for the Great Song Dynasty.

Shangjia's factories fed a large number of workers and idle women, and many factories began to hire full-time female garment workers, and the sweaters in the factories were bought very well, not only in the Great Song Dynasty, but even exported to the Liao Dynasty and Xixia and other places, and even the big cannibals were amazed by the exquisite sweaters of the Great Song Dynasty.

The important process of producing sweaters is to turn wool into wool and dye it with color, the seemingly simple process is actually very complicated, and even Zhao Zhen was amazed by the wisdom of the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty after seeing the process of dyeing and thread-making.

Sweaters have also become another important commodity owned by the Great Song Dynasty, which is the benefit of monopoly, even if the Liao people, the Xixia people want to imitate, not to mention the technology, the cost alone is several times that of the Great Song Dynasty, because they do not have the conditions for large-scale production.

The sales of sweaters are smooth, Shangjing, Xingqing Mansion, are hot places, the party people have made enough money on wool, they naturally don't care about spending a lot of money to buy exquisite and warm sweaters, but they didn't find that the wool used in this sweater is only a small part of their wool, and the price is extremely high.

The party people take the quantity, and the Great Song Dynasty takes the high-quality route, the two are naturally not the same, this is the gap between the technology, the party can only walk at the bottom of the production chain, become the service provider of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, wool has become an important economic source for the party, and even occupies a fairly high proportion in ordinary people's homes, at this time no one will think of another question, what if the Great Song Dynasty does not need the wool of Western Xia one day?

Everyone didn't expect it, because they only saw the Great Song Dynasty merchants collecting a large amount of wool from their hands, and shouted that the wool was not enough, and there would be more next time, they didn't know the production process of the wool, and only saw the real money and silver in their hands.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty hoarded a large number of wool yarn while producing wool, and as long as the wool purchased from the Western Xia could not be used, it all became woolen yarn of various colors and hoarded it.

Some people really don't understand why at this time, the three divisions still give them subsidies to go to Western Xia to buy more wool. Sanji's explanation is that wool can be made not only into sweaters, but also into beautiful tapestries, blankets, and even carpets!

The role is more, but the price is also naturally rising, the price of a carpet is even more than several times that of the same amount of wool made of sweater, and the bigger the more expensive, I heard that the Liao nobles in the capital ordered a carpet, the size is ten zhang, the price is enough!

It's a little scary, but the bigger orders are coming from distant big foods, or even Europa! The Great Cannibals spared no expense to buy a carpet the size of a huge room, saying that it was to be spread in their temple, and the Great Cannibal had a crazy worship and attachment to the temple.

It is said that the three divisions in Mingzhou, Hangzhou, Fujian Road set up the city of the Yamen, every day will charge high tariffs, even so, the big cannibals are still eager for the wool products of the Great Song Dynasty.

How could Zhao Zhen's character suffer? With Cai Boyu presiding over the open source of the three divisions, the money lost by the Great Song Dynasty in Western Xia will only be made up faster, which is that his Cai Boyu's business acumen is not comparable to ordinary people.

And the wool plan of the Great Song Dynasty has gradually been revealed, and the Western Xia is eager to raise sheep, and even some of the madness of the West is mixed with it, so it is said that even Li Yuanhao has begun to raise sheep in the enclosure......
