"The people of Wei are really brave." An old man watched the whole process of the fight, and at the same time saw countless people smashing into the house, overturning the precious screens, destroying the windows full of paintings, smashing the delicate eaves, and trampling on the wooden floor, leaving bloody footprints.

At the same time, there were arrows everywhere, and the entire front yard was destroyed, and most of the houses were destroyed.

Of course, he had to see the end the whole way, after all, this was the old house of this family.

Although his heart was dripping with blood, the old man also sighed sincerely: "Before that, I always thought that the Wei people would be able to do business, as well as raising silkworms and weaving silk, except for these things, they and the Tang people are two different things, the generosity and tragedy of the Han and Tang people, a promise to die lightly, and the Wei people are two different things." The Wei people are too weak...... But I think I'm still wrong. ”

Everyone was gossiping, and they generally appreciated the performance of these dozens of Wei people in front of them.

After all, it was on the territory of the Japanese people, and they killed all the envoys of the Heavenly People so forward, which made the Japanese people not have to stand in an embarrassing position.

Although he has to bear the responsibility for the lack of protection, after all, it is the hands of the Wei people, and the anger of the Tianfang people and Pu Xingfeng should be vented to the Wei people and the Nan'anhou Mansion.

This is the truth of the Japanese people, it is very simple, and there is no mistake.

After everyone expressed their opinions in a mess, Ouchi Shengda only said in a deep voice: "Send people to negotiate with the people of Nan'an Hou Mansion, and then we will arrange for merchants to cooperate with them and underwrite their cotton cloth and raw silk." The price given is also the market price, which will not be high or low. ”

"Has the governor thought it through?"

"Yes." Ouchi Shengda said: "If the officials of the Nan'an Hou Mansion did not rush to the forefront today, we would have to wait for the follow-up development." Look again, don't rush. But today, this official is at the forefront with a knife and fills the throne first, I think I understand what kind of Wei prince the Marquis of Nan'an is, and his future is definitely limitless. Making some investments in advance, it won't be the worst outcome for us, it's likely to be the opposite. ”

"The Governor is wise."

This time everyone bowed their heads, after all, what Ouchi Shengda said was everyone's thoughts, and everyone's opinions were about the same, and at that moment, the idea of cooperating with Nan'an Hou Mansion was basically fixed.

……

"The envoy of the Nan'an Hou Mansion is rushing to the front with a knife?" Kang Tianqi smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "I thought they would find a way to compete with the Heavenly People, but this result was still unexpected by me." ”

"It is estimated that the Ouchi family will cooperate with the Nan'an Hou Mansion." Kang Maocai had a deep understanding of the Japanese people, and he prayed to Kang Tian: "What should we do?" ”

"What do you want?"

"My son also wants to cooperate with Nan'an Hou Mansion." Kang Maocai's expression was cautious, but his tone was very resolute: "My son feels that Wang Zhi is not bad at the people he is optimistic about, but after knowing the performance of the Nan'an Mission this time, I feel that Wang Zhi may still look down on Nan'an Hou." ”

"Very well said, very good." Kang Tianqi was greatly relieved and said, "You can say such a thing, it is not in vain that I will teach you carefully!" From the small to the big, you can see from the subordinates what kind of person the lord is. I heard that Nan'anhou was in the front in the successive wars, but I didn't believe it before, thinking that someone was deliberately beautifying him. Now it seems that it is estimated that such things often happen in Nan'anhou Mansion, and they are used to it. If this is the case, our cooperation with Nan'an Hou Mansion can be considered now. Cotton cloth, made by him, was not our business in the first place, raw silk, give him a share year by year, he earns more, will be grateful to us. The rest of the transactions are done by the cooperation of the Anhou of Denan and the Japanese people, and we do not participate in a share, nor do we go to many things. ”

Kang Maocai said: "It's just that the foundation of Nan'an Hou's Mansion is too thin, I heard that they ate the Nanyang Sailors, but there are only dozens of boats, and there are more than these ships in Zhuqian." Nan'an Houfu is buying ships everywhere, and they are learning to build ships, and when everything is in the know, they can earn millions a year, most of them are invested in sailors and shipbuilding, and after ten years, they can almost have the same scale as us, and then they will talk about alliance and confrontation. ”

Kang Maocai's expression was a little gloomy and said, "I'm afraid that Pu Xingfeng won't give us so much time." ”

"What you can think of, that Nan Anhou can also think of." Kang Tianqi said: "There was more detailed information a while ago, there are more than 100 large and small sentinel ships in Nan'an Hou Mansion, Fu ships and Dragon Spirit ships, water ships, as well as Guangdong ships and warships, adding up to a total of thirty or forty ships, four large warships, two Nanyang Naval Divisions, two original Chen Yutai, more than ten medium-sized warships, and a total of twenty warships. Its strength is still far from enough, but according to the old man's estimate, in the past two years, they will build their own warships, buy them in various large shipyards, or they may find Wang Zhi to buy warships, Lao Wang Zhi doesn't need so many warships, and people are not in their bones when they are old, but in their ambitions. But not necessarily, Wang Zhi still relies on the side of the imperial court, the imperial court does not like the Nan'an Hou Mansion very much, Wang Zhi will not do such a taboo thing......"

Kang Tianqi sighed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper.

Large warships, at least more than 300 tons of warships, designed to transport more soldiers for war, and Fu ships and other kinds of ships are different, known as the Chinese warship of the big warship is called Tong'an ship, Fujian Tong'an is a famous shipbuilding base, the Yang family, the Li family, the Lin family, many shipbuilding families have large shipyards in Tong'an.

Every year, a large number of fortune boats, water boats, small sentinel boats, and ordinary fishing boats are produced here.

There are also large shipyards in Guangdong, and the ship type is famous for Guangdong ships.

Gangneung's ship type is called a sand boat, which is suitable for sailing along the coastline and carrying out water transportation tasks on the river, which is also determined by Gangneung's status in the early years.

Later, Jiangling also began to imitate the Guangdong ship and the Fu ship, which were similar in shape, which was again a change brought about by the prosperous and developed foreign trade.

The Tong'an battleship, that is, the Chinese military ship, is generally forty-two to forty-five meters long, which is nearly ten meters longer than the ordinary Fu ship. It is seven meters wide, and the average fortune ship is five meters wide.

The depth is 3.1 meters, which is determined by the cabin structure of the cabin.

Large Fu ships can reach a depth of about seven meters, although the length and width may be similar to that of Chinese warships, but the hull structure is different, and the draft of the same Fu ship will be greater, and the carrying weight will be larger.

The principle of the design of such a Chinese warship, in order to seize the upper hand and fight against the enemy at sea, is that although it is large and flexible, its draft is only more than 200 tons, and its carrying capacity is only about 100 tons.

At its tail there are battlements and enemy towers, which allow soldiers to condescend to shoot arrows and fight enemies.

In the middle of the mast there is a lookout used for archery and lookout.

In the tail, middle, and front, there are bed crossbows and eight-ox crossbows, which are the weapons of naval warfare that make ordinary pirates fearful.

When the Great Wei Navy Division was strong, it had a giant warship with a length of more than 100 meters and a width of more than 10 meters, it is said that this kind of battleship is still a flat-bottomed sand ship, built in Jiangling Shipyard, with a draft of more than 1,500 tons, and a ship carries more than 1,000 people, this kind of flat-bottomed ship generally cannot go to sea, but the Jiangling treasure ship can sail on the sea, and the wind comes from all directions, and because it is a flat-bottomed ship, the water depth and shallow water can go.

Such a huge ship, each ship is loaded with more than 100 eight-ox crossbows and bed crossbows, and ordinary pirate ships dare not approach at all.

Until now, this giant sand boat was considered an exaggerated myth, because it was common sense that a giant flat-bottomed boat would capsize soon at sea.

Some people say that it is the strange technology of the ancients, and many people have doubts about this point.

The shipbuilding industry has developed for hundreds of years, but it is not as good as the ancients, which is really difficult to accept.

After the development of the Great Wei Sea Trade, Jiangling Shipyard had a long time to undertake the tasks of inland river transportation and coastal water transportation, and also mainly produced sand ships.

It's hard to believe that the inheritance of the treasure ship was suddenly broken.

However, later generations still know that Gangneung once produced a large number of flat-bottomed ships that fought in the coastal seas, and they were also quite large warships, probably fifty or sixty meters long and more than ten meters wide, with enemy towers and a large number of crossbow machines, which were enough to deter all unscrupulous people.

The strength of the Great Wei Naval Division was not a day's work, a large number of warships, painstakingly and ingeniously designed, but the decay was too fast.

Xu Zixian and his Nan'an Hou Mansion are trying to restore their former glory.

But Kang Tianqi couldn't be sure how long this time was.

Pu Xingfeng will be killed in about two years at most, and once the Three Buddhas are destroyed with full thorns, the channel will completely fall into the hands of the Heavenly People.

At that time, everyone will be affected, and normal trade will shrink by more than half.

The purchasing power of the countries of the South Seas and the Japanese countries alone cannot support such a huge trade capital.

Everyone will be seriously affected, even if Kang Tianqi, who is very powerful, has a huge fleet, and has more than 100 warships of more than 100 tons, he will also be dealt a fatal blow.

"Now we have to wait." Kang Tianqi finally said: "I hope this time is not too long." ”

……

Fast forward to late May.

On May 20, a series of celebrations took place on the island, and even the Changwen Marquis Mansion sent some gifts to the island.

The handover to the Japanese people was successful, the cotton cloth, raw silk, and tea, salt and sugar were all negotiated, and the Ouchi clan, the most powerful daimyo of the Japanese country, had already confirmed the cooperation with the Nan'an Hou Mansion.

Even when Youfu No. 1 came back, an old middle school of the Ouchi clan arrived with the ship and went to the other courtyard to visit Xu Zixian.

The old man was quite respectful, dressed in a magnant robe with a towering crown.

Of course, this is also something learned from the Tang Dynasty, but the Japanese people have changed slightly, and their emperor even wears a robe dyed yellow by Zhemu, which of course is also learned from the Tang Dynasty.

The old man wore a high crown and a robe, and he met Xu Zixian step by step.

To the princes of the Great Wei, the Japanese were full of respect, and what happened on the Eastern Domain Island, that Lao Zhong was also an eye-opener.

Xu Zixian didn't mean it too deliberately, the Japanese people are afraid of power and not virtuous, it is useless to be friendly with them, only to strengthen their own strength, so that the strength of their own side can always suppress them, this is the best way.

If you can use your strength to subdue the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom is the best ally, they will put themselves in your shoes, run for you, and even kill and injure their own subordinates.

They will also be the best subordinates, loyal, bold, and courageous, and will sacrifice everything for the sake of the monarch.

But the premise is that you are strong, if you are down, depressed, and your strength has declined, then these loyal good subordinates, the best students, can bite back without any scruples.

This is an immature wolf, and when you need it to watch the home, it's best to have a stick in your hand at all times.

This news made the Changwen Marquis Mansion feel not bad, in the entire island of Gedu, the Changwen Marquis Mansion did not stretch out its hand, but in the cotton trade, the Changwen Marquis Mansion would make a considerable profit.

This is in exchange for Xu Zixian's support in political connections, as well as the hundreds of thousands of yuan invested earlier, including the cooperation and help in craftsman, mechanic, and immigration.

If the cotton cloth business is promising, it will of course be great news for the Changwen Marquis Mansion, and it could not be better than good news.

And there are still two months before the cotton matures, and it will be very soon.

Settlements on the island have not stopped, but not on such a large scale.

More bricklayers were sent upstream of several streams, where large textile factories would be built within two months.

A large number of hydraulic looms and spinning machines were gradually built and installed, and the water flow would drive the bearings, which would then transfer the spindles of the prism machine, spinning the lint into cotton threads, which would then be woven into a set cloth.

The water doesn't stop, the spinning machines and looms don't stop.

This is a hydraulic textile, which began in England in the seventeenth-eighteenth centuries, starting with the Jenny machine.

The principle of Jenny machine is quite simple, the original textile machine, especially the one that is shaken by hand, is horizontally placed spindles, and if several spindles are placed at the same time, and a yarn wheel is used to drive multiple spindles at the same time, the efficiency of weaving will increase several times at once.

If you enlarge the machine and spin in multiple layers, from eight spindles to eighty, it is quite a simple thing.

This is the Jenny machine, it seems to be a very simple idea, in fact, from the idea to the successful construction, the original inventor of the British Hargresff from the idea to the machine, it took one day.

In the previous Chinese Huang Daopo, the principle of the one-foot pedal machine, the principle is to save manpower rather than improve efficiency, Jenny machine is the real invention of the era, since then, wool industry, cotton spinning industry, has become the cornerstone of the industry that will affect the next few hundred years.

After the Jenny machine is the water-powered spinning machine, which needs to build a tall factory building to drive the loom and the spinning machine with water flow, which is also very simple in principle, and also requires a large number of workers to take care of those machines, but it is much more efficient than a loom per person, and the output is much larger.

Xu Zixian has never had the slightest doubt about building a factory to build a hydraulic machine.

The principle of this thing is quite simple, of course a history college student has studied it, and even Xu Zixian can draw sketches of Jenny machine and waterwheel loom.

Of course, it is not possible to draw the structure of each part, but the general principle of operation and appearance is almost the same, or in other words, there are almost no deviations.

A group of ordinary craftsmen can build a hydraulic loom according to Xu Zixian's instructions, not to mention Fu Qian, a great master of miscellaneous and craftsmanship.

The testing machine was trial-built several months ago and is working perfectly.

Now it is the beginning of large-scale construction of factories, planning the installation of machines, large-scale manufacturing requires detailed and careful planning, the British factories generally have hundreds of machines, thousands of workers, the textile factories of the Eastern Domain may have more machines, more workers.

After all, it is done with the investment of millions of dollars from the two major princes, and there are hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of strong men in manpower alone, at present, this matter has the largest investment and the largest cost, and even Li Yi and Kong He take people to supervise the work near the factory every day, and the food and wages needed every day, including the cost of purchasing machinery and raw materials, Kong He ordered to allocate without the slightest stumble.

Everyone understands that now there are more than 100,000 acres of cotton fields, millions of catties of cotton, and in the future, more than 1 million acres of cotton fields, millions of stones of cotton output, and millions of tens of millions of cotton cloths.

If it weren't for the grand blueprint that Xu Zi planned first, the Changwen Marquis Mansion would not have been quickly put into the set.

Even Xu Zixian doubted that his marriage with Chen Wenjun was not Chen Dujing also using this matter as a bargaining chip to persuade the clansmen of Changwenhou's Mansion?

The cotton cloth of Nan'anhou Mansion will be mainly used for export, and the competition in this regard is not very large.

First of all, the territory of the Great Wei has a good tradition of growing cotton and textiles, which is different from the situation outside the country.

Many of the indigenous people of the South Seas can bear coconuts and bananas on the trees, and they lie under the trees and wait for the fruits to come into fruit, so they will not go hungry. The excessively hot weather affected people's desire to work, and the superior natural environment made it difficult for them to go hungry, which made them far inferior to the Chinese people in things such as farming and weaving. This is also the reason why the Chinese can quickly open up the capital when they arrive in these places, and then grasp the lifeblood of the local economy.

Of course, they still have to wear clothes, and even the requirements and standards are not low.

There are also Wa countries, Champa and Chenla, these countries are also very hot, but they also need good cotton cloth to cut into all kinds of robes.

They may grow cotton or cloth, but the scale and production cannot keep up.

The same is true of Songjiang cloth, the Great Wei has a good tradition, which does not mean that there is no demand, in fact, the demand is still quite large.

Of course, export is also one of the ways for Songjiang cloth to earn huge profits, from the Ming to the Qing Dynasty, Songjiang cloth has been exported to Japan and Luzon, the sales volume is very large, it is one of the mainstream products.

Now the Songjiang cloth of the Great Wei Dynasty is one of the competitors of the Eastern Fan Cloth in the future, and Xu Zixian is not worried about this.

In fact, he was worried that the cotton output would not be able to keep up, and that large-scale water conservancy textile mills would be easy to build successfully, but it would be difficult to say that large-scale cotton harvesting would be difficult.

It is not difficult for a heavy rain for several days to wipe out all the cotton that is about to bloom.

Cotton bollworm, a variety of plant pests and diseases.

Typhoon.

In the future life, these things will be very troublesome, and in this era, Xu Zixian does not dare to guarantee that he will not encounter these unlucky things.

Fortunately, so far, everything is quite good in the cotton fields.

The main thing is to have sufficient manpower, and in the absence of sufficient pesticides and fertilizers, the role of manpower can only be maximized.

Almost every moment, there are people patrolling the cotton fields, hoeing, and removing insects, all the time.

The weather in May was hot, and in the early morning, Xu Zixian wore a white hat and rode on his big green horse, wearing a gauze hunting robe, a waist suspension knife, and hemp shoes, and rode out.

There were quivers and bows on both sides of his saddle, and when he passed through the first avenue of Huaxi, many merchants, men, sailors, government soldiers, officials, and everyone saluted Xu Zi on both sides of the road.

The original Zhongzhai to the commercial area was divided into the first avenue.

The straight road to the seaside port is Second Avenue.

To the Nananxi Annex, is the Third Avenue.

From the hundredth to the sixtieth hundredth, from the first avenue to the one hundred and seventh avenue, the naming style of the Eastern Domain can be seen in Xu Zixian's style.

Simple and straightforward, even brutal.

It is to make it easy to remember and catchy.

Complex things are simplified, and they look simple, but they are actually more difficult.

The weather is getting hotter, but the frequency of Xu Zi's first outings has not decreased, looking at the textile factories upstream, looking at the site selection of the planned armor division and weapons supervisor, inspecting the farmland, looking at the pastures, and even seeing the horse shed to see those precious horses.

Elementary and junior high school halls were planned, and the construction of university halls began.

He went to all parts of Fuzhou to post lists, recruited officials, and sent Wu Shizhong's lectures in the Eastern Domain to all roads in Fujian, and accepted students to come to the university hall to study.

There are also a lot of daily affairs every day, the officials and planning of the Nan'an Hou Mansion have just been started, and the military training and restructuring are also in progress, everything is very busy, thriving, but it is also busy enough.

Every morning and evening, people can watch Nan'anhou appear everywhere, and it seems to be everywhere.

When people bow down, there is not much curiosity and surprise in their eyes, but there is deep reverence and trust.

This kind of thing is quite precious and not easy to obtain, but Xu Zixian obviously has these precious trusts.

Sometimes in the evening, Xu Zixian would make several hundreds of archery clubs gather urgently, hundreds of young men, carrying knives, bows and arrows, and two large bags full of quivers, which were full of heavy and light arrows for hunting.

Xu Zixian would take them to the depths of the hills to shoot, not deep into the mountains, but they could still hunt a large number of prey.

The most is still deer, and now it can steadily obtain more than 1,000 deer skins every month, which is equivalent to an income of 15,000 guan per month, which is quite possible, and an increase of nearly 200,000 guan a year.

Xu Zixian did not mobilize thousands or tens of thousands of people to hunt deer, so he might get more than 100,000 or 200,000 deer skins and hundreds of thousands of yuan of income at once.

But so what?

The entire deer herd's biosphere was destroyed, affecting the indigenous people who hunted deer for a living.

These deer herds are kept, and the old and weak who are not fast are hunted, and they play the role of lions and tigers, which is very good, and can also control the size of the deer herd, so that they do not eat too much vegetation.

To mobilize the people of the Bow and Arrow Society to participate in similar activities, the important thing is not hunting.

On the way to hunting, the men of each hundred households were organized into a team of 12 people and a banner, three teams and a sentry, and the three posts were organized into the establishment of government soldiers, and they were organized in strict order and strict orders.

Each hundred households will have a hundred household officials, two chief flag officers, and ten small flag officials.

When it comes to hunting, the small flag officers in these villages to the officials of hundreds of households will become team officers, sentinel officers, and capital heads.

In fact, Xu Zixian had this kind of consideration when he demarcated 100 households and determined his official position.

This is the folk group training, the real sense of the group training.

Organized, armed, and trusted civilian armed forces, they are organized, self-defensive, enterprising, ambitious, and loyal to the Eastern Domain.

That's fine, it shouldn't be guarded against, it's something to be guarded against, it's even something to be propped up.

When a civilization is flattened and scattered, it has no ability to resist foreign enemies, and all power and resources are concentrated under centralization, and if it is corrupt and stagnant, its ability to resist will disappear, and it will also lose its ability to purify itself.

From the pre-Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, China was still vigorous, but it was still inevitable to change dynasties, but on the whole it was still an era of vigorous and enterprising, and foreign enemies were not enough.

In the Yuan, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the internal self-circulation and purification stagnated, and all wealth, knowledge, and power were concentrated, so they lost the ability to resist foreign enemies, which is the ruler consciously scattered everyone.

There is no way for a mass of loose sand to gather together to resist foreign enemies, and there is no chance.
