Chapter 389: Go to Yongbyon to build a textile factory

After Yan Ah Gu beats, he is dead!

Haha, Wanyan Agu was killed, it's really great news!

Zhao Ji jumped up from the bed excitedly and walked around the room.

Such a ruthless man actually died. It's good to die, it's good to die!

Since the Jin State conquered Youzhou, Zhao Ji's fear of the Jin State has deepened day by day. Even the powerful Liao State could not withstand the attack of the Jin State.

The people of the Liao country are like cattle, and the people of the Jin country can easily defeat even the Liao country, so aren't the people of the Jin country the animals of the cattle, aren't they beasts?

How can a man beat a brute? It depends on the fact that the people of Jin Guo can even beat the tiger to death with their bare hands, or in front of themselves, which makes Zhao Ji really feel the ferocity of the people of Jin Guo.

Fortunately, there is Wu Song, and he returned it to me, saving a little face for Da Song.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji picked up another notebook.

This is on Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong told the battle in Jiangning, of course, he didn't mention the matter of the fire-breathing ironclad ship.

If you can't mention this kind of merit, why should you mention it?

He directly said that he was extremely powerful, and led the forbidden army to defeat the attack of the Heavenly Master Army in one fell swoop, burning forty ships and killing 5,000 enemies.

Then, because he also suffered heavy losses, he did not achieve a greater victory in the war against Dangtu.

Good news! This is also great news!

The Heavenly Master Army is a problem for henchmen, and if the Yangtze River waterway is occupied by Zhang Guo, the Great Song Dynasty will be half finished.

Now Han Shizhong has lived up to expectations, suppressed the Heavenly Master Army on the west line of Dangtu, and protected the grain route of the Grand Canal, which is a great achievement!

Must Reward!

rewarded him as the Gongwei doctor, and the Jiangning military festival envoy.

With the merits of embezzling ironclad ships, Han Shizhong was promoted again. Doctor Gongwei is already a rampant rank, belonging to the category of high-ranking officials, and has risen to the N rank compared to Doctor Wujie.

The Jiedu envoy was a false name in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was an honorary title, but it could bring benefits and allow Han Shizhong to have more power on the front line.

encountered two good things in one day, Zhao Ji was in a good mood, and he even forgot the troubles of soaring prices in Bianliang for a while.

This shouldn't have been worrying about him, this is what Li Bangyan should be responsible for, otherwise what would he, the prime minister, eat?

Li Bangyan really doesn't know what to do except eat.

Prices in Bianliang have skyrocketed, especially grain prices. Food prices are now five or six times higher than last year, and they are still seeing a whooshing rise.

Bianliang City is a place where the wealth of the world gathers, if the price of food here is soaring, then wouldn't the local area be even more fatal?

Now there is a situation of selling children and girls in Bianliang City.

Fortunately, Taishi Cai had a good heart, and he opened a few good halls in Bianliang City, which kept the situation from worsening.

But Cai Jing alone obviously can't do it alone. The imperial court must come up with a solution to the problem.

But the court really couldn't help it. All the money from the imperial court was used to buy the city, and now the imperial court has no money left!

Although Li Bangyan did not understand economic theory, he came to a simple conclusion based on the phenomenon in front of him - Zhao Ji was the culprit of soaring prices.

If Zhao Ji doesn't print so many Jiaozi, prices won't rise.

But Li Bangyan never dared to go to Zhao Ji to speak, saying that the emperor, don't cheat money with paper anymore!

Isn't this looking for death? Of course, Li Bangyan would not do anything that killed himself.

Moreover, soaring prices have brought about the bankruptcy of middle-class families, and they will sell their houses and land as a last resort, which is what Li Bangyan is happy to see!

The price of land in Bianliang is expensive, and if you have money, you may not be able to buy it - the owner does not sell it.

Now that they are forced by reality to sell their houses, of course Li Bangyan has to take the opportunity to do it - he, the prime minister, can be said to be the poorest of the previous prime ministers, how can this make Li Bangyan save face.

Prices are still rising, and people are still starving to death, but this has no effect on Li Bangyan at all.

Not only was he unaffected, but the powerful families in Bianliang City were not affected.

This time and space is the pinnacle of the agricultural era, and the strategic material of the agricultural era is food.

Any powerful family has enough food to eat for dozens of lifetimes, and they simply don't buy food from the market. On the contrary, many people are actually big grain merchants, and the more expensive the grain price, the better, and the more expensive it is, the more profitable it is, so that they can grab more profits and grab land.

Food prices continue to grow.

The officers of the Guards Regiment quickly formulated three plans and sent them to Qin Mu.

The first one, of course, is to show the identity of the Guards Regiment, and take down Tengxian County in the image of a regular army with a clear banner, so as to become the official speaker of this place.

All the grain in Teng County, whether it is in the county seat or the grain merchants of the major wealthy households, is under the unified control of the Guards Regiment.

The second is make-up robbery. Without wearing military uniforms, he pretended to be wandering bandits, looted the major granaries, and pulled grain to Weishan Lake.

The third one is more complicated to operate. Shi Yi and the others are now more and more able to understand Qin Mu's thoughts, and they are also more and more able to consider problems from the perspective of the common people.

This plan was to make the oppressed people among the people rise up and sue the big landlords, and then the Guards would come forward and bring the landlords to justice, and the family property would be flushed to the public, so that the grain could also go back to the Guards.

This is exactly Qin Mu's strategy to deal with the Zhang family in the Li Guojian, and Shi Yu took it over and continued to use it.

Qin Mu was also a little hesitant in the face of the three strategies.

Each of these three strategies has its own advantages, but it also has its own disadvantages.

The first is to pull the flag and rebel. The effect is fast, but there are many sequelae. As long as he fights Teng County, he will be a thief, just like Zhang Guofangla. The imperial court can no longer turn a blind eye.

The second is that there is no danger of rebellion, but there is a huge hidden danger. Qin Mu had never wanted the Guards Regiment to have a bandit's way of acting.

In Qin Mu's heart, the Guards Regiment is a brand-new army with lofty ideals and invincible force. If such a team acts in the guise of bandits, even if it is forced to do so, it will leave a black history.

This is something that Qin Mu cares about very much, so Qin Mu first vetoed the second one.

Now that's all that remains for the third and first.

The third is actually the most favorable plan of action.

Taking the people as the main body and using the strength of the people to fight against the local clan forces is actually killing three birds with one stone.

First, the food problem has been solved; Second, the clan power was cleared; Thirdly, the Guards Regiment had not yet been exposed - at least not openly in rebellion.

Okay, then the third one, although the time is slow, but there are no sequelae at all, and it still occupies the commanding heights of morality.

This matter, after Qin Mu's instructions, he no longer cared about it. Now it has entered September, and a complete set of textile mill equipment has been produced and commissioned, and it has been shipped to the northwest not long ago.

Now Qin Mu wants to take Wu Xiaomei over and install and debug it in person. Textile factories can be said to be related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Cotton, can be weaved, can also be made**. Without cotton, neither of these two can be done, and now that there is a bumper harvest of cotton, Qin Mu must not delay it any longer.

The textile mill was established in Yongbyon. This is the first place to be won by the three cities of Xiahetao, and it is also the earliest to be developed, and at present, the development is also the most mature.

A large number of small factories, breeding farms, and brand new communities are relatively close to Weishan Lake.

I am very satisfied with this development. This brand-new city was created by him, and everything in front of him was full of beauty that he could not imagine.

But when he saw the workers from Weishan Lake, he immediately lost his pride.

He had thought that the machinery factory in Yongbyon, which was once a blacksmith shop, had good workers.

All the farm tools designed by Qin Mu, including the tools used to repair the reservoir, were all built by these workers. Qin Mu also nodded frequently after seeing it, thinking that he had done a good job.

At that time, I felt that the workers were like this.

But he didn't expect that when he picked up the goods at the dock, he saw the operation of the workers in Weishan Lake, which made him realize what a real worker was.

The textile mill is a complete set of equipment. These devices are not as light as diesel engines.

Relying on the docks of this plane, it is impossible to unload cargo.

The workers first installed the gantry crane brought with the ship at the wharf, and then everything entered the Weishan Lake mode.

Looking at the skillful operation of equipment by real industrial workers, he realized that his workers really can't be called workers. They are, at best, skilled craftsmen.

Craftsmen and workers are not the same category at all.

Zhi Keqiu immediately grabbed Qin Mu and said, "Gonggong, you have to leave these workers to me." ”

"Mr. Zhe," Qin Mu hurriedly refused: "This is not good, these people have built a textile factory, and they have to go back to continue construction, there are still a large number of factories to be built on the side of Weishan Lake." ”

"No, no, merit, although Weishan Lake is important, the northwest is equally important. Without these workers, the future operation of the textile mill would also be problematic. I'm relieved to have them here. ”

The two began to bargain on the docks for the ownership of the workers. In the end, Qin Mu decided to leave half of the workers with his apprentices, and at the same time, he also sent the craftsmen here to study at Weishan Lake.

At the same time as the construction of the textile mill, the cotton picking also entered a busy period.

For this cotton picking, Zhekeqiu has made sufficient preparations.

To pick cotton, a person has to tie a bag around his waist, and then deftly pluck the cotton from the cotton plant with both hands and throw it into the bag.

But there are no bags on this plane. The bag also needs cloth to make, and the kudzu scarf linen cloth is very expensive. Even if you can ask for money and don't care about money, you can't buy so much linen cloth in this place in the northwest.

The solution is to make rattan baskets.

So Yongbyon also had a rattan factory. Fortunately, this is a pure handicraft industry, and it does not require smart technical support, so as long as you are willing to pile up manpower, you will definitely be able to make enough rattan baskets.

Zhou Zhian was carrying a rattan basket on his back, wrapped in a white towel on his head, and was working in the cotton field with a sweat.

Although the body is very hard, Zhou Zhian is full of love.

Not only him, but all the farmers in the field were very happy. This is cotton, so white, so soft.

Some people picked cotton while taking the time to look at the towel on Representative Zhou's head.

Director Zhou said that such towels are made of cotton.

The benefits of this towel have long been known to the people, but unfortunately they have no money to buy it in the first place, and they can't buy it in the second. There is nothing to sell in the market.

Now it's good. This year has had a bumper harvest, and every household has a full pile of grain. They have just sold their summer grain, and now they will be able to sell their autumn grain soon.

After selling the autumn grain, the family will be richer.

The enamel products of Weishan Lake have long been listed in the northwest, so every household already has enamel washbasins and enamel cups, and now Zhou Zhi'an's enamel series is no longer envied. They just wanted a few more towels.

Towels are made of cotton, and hungry cotton is in the hands of each of them.

Thinking of this, the people in the fields worked even harder. The sooner the cotton is picked, the sooner it is delivered to that textile factory, the sooner you can use towels.

The bright future is in the hands of each of them, and in everyone's hard work, this makes the people not even feel tired.

They have only one thought.

Work hard, and life will get better and better!
