Chapter 558: Not doing business
got up to see Bai Shizhong away, Yang Lin was a little distracted.
The order was in the hands of Wu Luan, so it was announced that for the small countries and countless islands in the South China Sea, the Great Song Dynasty had changed from the Heavenly Empire to a colonist.
Even if the means will not be as bloody as the West in later generations, but relatively mild, but after all, it is not a glorious thing.
On second thought, this is not necessarily a bad thing for them. Now the natives on the island live like wild animals, almost in a slave society, as long as they bring them not to slaughter, they can be regarded as pulling them.
As for the gold and silver minerals, spices and rubber on the island, they won't use it if they stay there.
"Dalang?" Xu Saiyue saw that he lowered his head and almost hit the pillar, so she reminded him.
Yang Lin raised his head at this time, the little Taoist children in the courtyard had already dispersed, and there were some noisy voices outside, and most of them were female voices.
"Yue'er, what's going on outside, it's so messy."
The outer courtyard of Zhaodefang is like a big square, and all kinds of people live in it.
As long as it has a little relationship and a skill, it can be divided into a yard. Many miscellaneous scientists are middle-aged men, and it is inevitable that they will drag their families with them, and everyone is proud to live in Zhaodefang, so the scale is really not small.
Xu Saiyue covered her mouth and smiled: "The ladies in the outer courtyard are very bored, so they forced Mr. Jia to make a set of spinning wheels. ”
She is still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little girl who is like a bud blooming, and she smiles softly and charmingly, revealing a bit of innocence and loveliness. Further down is a pair of warm and beautiful little breasts, which are up and down the crescent-white clothes, although they are not very rich, standing in Yang Lin's perspective, I can vaguely see a touch of delicate and snow-white cleavage squeezed out, which makes people feel excited.
Yang Lin said in his heart, the loom is estimated to be a spinning wheel, the outer courtyard is full of talents, and is forced by a group of idle and boring girls, maybe there is really any invention and it is not necessarily, it is better to go and see it yourself.
"Hao Yue'er, I don't have anything to do, I'll take a look with you." Yang Lin had just finished exercising in the morning, he was refreshed, he reached out and grabbed Xu Saiyue's little hand, and rushed to the outer courtyard.
Xu Saiyue's heart was sweet, her face was full of disbelief, and she was led out obediently.
Since he and his two nieces were sent to Yang's Mansion, Da Lang has been very good to himself. At first, I was afraid that it would be given to a bad old man, who knows if he will be the champion of the dynasty or such a big official.
Xu Saiyue grew up in the deep boudoir, like a blank piece of paper, and when she met a master like Yang Lin who could collect honey in her mouth, she was coaxed to death.
In the middle of the outer courtyard is an open space, which was originally the place where Xu Shuwei and others researched, but now it is crowded with people.
Jia Huai'an is a craftsman in his early forties, and although he is a leader in this industry, his status was not very high before.
He often had to help people take on some carpentry work, making tables, chairs and benches to support the family, but his dream has always been to make a flying machine that can carry people in the air.
The last cliff gliding strengthened his belief, who knew that he was forced by his daughter-in-law to make a spinning wheel in the past few days, and he had to teach this group of women in person.
Jia Huai'an had a stinky face, listlessly talking about how to operate, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law around him were all chirping, which made him even more irritable when he heard it.
"Okay, you all understand, right?"
When Jia Huai'an asked, no one answered him, and many women comrades were still touching and rubbing there, pointing and laughing.
Yang Lin was outside, laughing, this Jia Huaian was angry and said, "It's all right?" I have to go. What kind of system is such noise? ”
"Huh? I said Xiaoxiang and his father, why are you so angry? ”
"That's it, speaking of which, I'm still your aunt, and your father has to be polite when he talks to me."
"Lady of the Jia family, your husband's temper is too big, and he came to our house to drink yesterday, and I didn't see how to offend him.."
...
The lady of the Jia family laughed with her, and poked her husband's arm, when Jia Huai'an was down, she relied on her mother to support her and never give up, and she loved her own lady the most, and she had no temper.
When the girls saw it, they suddenly came to confidence, and at first they verbally attacked, and then there were a few older ones.
The people who accompanied his wife were all friends of Jia Huai'an, and most of them watched the excitement when they saw this scene, and few dared to come forward.
Jia Huaian covered his head and asked for mercy again and again, seeing Yang Lin laughing outside.
Before the loss of nature that was not tortured by rituals, the women of the Han family were also a flesh-and-blood group, and would not become vassals of men.
There are people who know Yang Lin here, and they screamed, which can be regarded as relieving Jia Huai'an.
And all the women were honest, and they were quite embarrassed.
Yang Lin walked to the front, Jia Huaian was embarrassed, hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Shaozai, let Shaozai smile." ”
Yang Lin patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Why does this spinning wheel look a little different from the past?" ”
Jia Huai'an didn't expect that a character like Shaozai would care about the small spinning wheel. He patiently explained: "For convenience, the villain added a pedal under the spinning wheel, which can be used to spin cloth with his feet and woven with his hands. ”
Yang Lin sighed and asked, "Why didn't you make such a good thing earlier?" ”
Jia Huai'an frowned and said: "This is a small road, don't hide it from Shaozai, the villain is determined to be thousands of miles in the sky." ”
Yang Lin kicked him and scolded: "Don't be so ambitious here, this official took the students to the spinning workshop, and you went with him a few times, right?" You can bear it and don't say a word. ”
Jia Huai was a little unconvinced, but he admitted his mistake again and again.
Yang Lin asked: "You said, there is no way, not even your feet, you can drive the spinning wheel." ”
Before Jia Huai'an could speak, a middle-aged man next to him twisted his beard and said, "What's so difficult about this, just add a waterwheel." ”
The women all consciously took a few steps back at this time, and a group of submerged old men finally became the protagonists.
As soon as you say a word, I say a word, and Yang Lin's scalp is numb when he listens.
This group of people contains countless energies, but they get together every day, don't do business, and play some flashy things.
If someone guides it, this Zhaodefang outer courtyard doesn't know what kind of power it will burst out. It's okay to say that they will change the world.
The women around them, looking at their men, were brilliant in front of Yang Shaozai, and they were also overjoyed.
Yang Lin's heart moved, now is the most prosperous period of commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Silk Road in the Western Regions has been restarted; Dali to South Asia in the south was opened; There are Dongying and Goryeo in the east, and maritime merchants are crowded with Mizhou Port and Tianjin Port; There is the Ancient Tea Horse Road to the north...
Build a steam engine to increase the cloth and silk production of the Great Song Dynasty, and there will be a golden trade route.
Himself and Bai Shizhong, would they still be worried about money?
