Lao Zhu overestimated Ma Du's temperament, of course he went to make money, and by the way, he investigated the environment at sea, as for why he wanted to investigate the marine environment, of course, it was because of Lao Zhu.

Although it is still a long time before Lao Zhu becomes demonized, Ma Du also has to leave a way back for himself, and it is always not wrong to be prepared.

What the? Transform Lao Zhu? This is definitely a huge and terrifying project, and it is definitely 10,000 times more difficult than breaking a straight man.

Ma Du himself would feel that this idea was terrible, and quickly dug a pit in the deepest part of his mind and buried this idea completely.

Earning money is the first priority, haven't you heard of gold and silver scattering people's hearts, with money can we engage in unity, not too many small groups of people are enough.

If one day he is unfortunate and really needs to run away, Madub hopes that someone will follow him, instead of living alone on a desert island for the rest of his life.

Shen Wansan is more eager to make money than Ma Du, he is not short of money, but he does not lack the desire to make money.

Shen Wansan is now full of sincerity, and in order to show his strength and sincerity, he decided to take Ma Du to visit in person. The first stop they were going to was not Pingjiang, but Fuliang County, Jiangxi, of course, to Shen Wansan's porcelain kiln.

As a professional international trader and an excellent businessman, Shen Wansan certainly wouldn't just pick up some porcelain and ship it over, he had to take into account the preferences of the locals.

It is better to ask others to do it yourself, there is Shen Wansan's private kiln in Jingdezhen, because the firing technology of glaze red in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty made the perfect combination of painting skills and manufacturing technology, making Jingdezhen unprecedentedly prosperous.

In Jingdezhen, Madu saw all kinds of porcelain, and I was surprised to meet Chang Mao, a good buddy who came to Jingdezhen to buy soap boxes.

Chang Mao, who is already fifteen years old, should have entered the barracks, but Mrs. Chang said that Chang Yuchun has earned enough military merits, not as good as Chang Mao, there are not enough people in the workshop, and it is better to earn money at home to earn military merits.

So Chang Mao, who is not yet an adult, is about to start running for the family's business, Qin Huaihe has not heard of Master Mao's reputation for a long time, and even Ma Du has not seen him for a long time.

I heard that Ma Du came to play, Chang Mao was angry, Lao Tzu was tired and tired to earn you money, but you ran out to play, the most hateful thing is that you don't call Lao Tzu to play together.

So when Ma Du left from Jiangxi, there was another Chang Mao, followed Shen Wansan down the river, did not stop when passing by Yingtian, and went directly to Songjiang Mansion, where Shen Wansan's weaving workshop was located.

Just like the colored porcelain in Jingdezhen, Songjiang's textile industry has also made a leap forward, because there is a well-known figure in history, as long as the people who have received nine years of compulsory education in later generations, there is no one who does not know her, that is Huang Daopo.

At this time, Huang Daopo has been dead for almost 30 years, but her technology has been handed down, and the textile industry in Songjiang has also developed rapidly, so that Songjiang cotton cloth is famous in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Shen Wansan's weaving workshop is different from what Ma Du thought, it is not a large factory with hundreds or thousands of people, because the employees are all women, and most of them work at home when they are inconvenient to go out.

After weaving and sending it to Shen Wansan's shop, he took new orders and raw materials, which is a bit like doing handwork in later generations. From spinning to weaving, almost all of them are done by individuals or families, and the production efficiency is very low.

However, he also had some small workshops, scattered in various neighborhoods, to provide a place for women who did not have a loom or whose home was inconvenient for weaving, and the 9-to-5 work was not much different from that of later generations.

Listening to the crunching loom inside, Madu couldn't help but sigh, this can be regarded as the germ of capitalism.

The most important thing is the port and sea vessels, Songjiang is the place where Shen Wansan's goods are concentrated, and it is Zhang Shicheng's territory, Shen Wansan has great convenience.

The taxes paid are just ordinary commercial taxes, and sometimes even in the name of purchasing military funds for Zhang Shicheng, he doesn't even have to pay taxes.

The most difficult thing is that the ship enters the port, of course Shen Wansan will not come back with an empty ship stupidly, and he will bring back a lot of goods from foreign domains, and he will know that he can't hide it from people at a glance.

Originally, there was a hidden turnover place in the Zhoushan Islands outside Hangzhou Bay, where you could use a small boat to dump on the shore, but unfortunately it was served by Fang Guozhen, and now you can only load goods directly from the big ship to the small boat, which is a lot more risky.

Shen Wansan's sea ship is very large, although it is not as big as Chen Youliang's giant ship, but the smallest one has thousands of stones, and the big one has tens of thousands of stones.

Ma Du went on the boat to visit, and as a layman, he did not see much difference between the sea ship and the river boat, but only saw that there were more sails and fewer oars.

Shen Wansan said that there was a ship going to the Japanese country, and Ma Du wanted to go with him, earn the silver of the Japanese slaves, and get two Japanese girls back by the way, and study the cultural differences between the Japanese slaves before and after 600 years, especially whether the name of the Ya Butterfly is the same. 、

Shen Wansan didn't let Ma Du go when he was killed, saying that he couldn't afford to pay for Ma Du's accident, isn't it just a widow, so he found two widows for Ma Du that night, looking at their ghost-like makeup, Ma Du really didn't have half of his sexuality.

And these two widows won't be called Ya Yan Butterfly at all, for fear that if you don't mess with her, they will pounce on you.

Seeing that Ma Du was not interested, Zhang Wuliu said that he was willing to make a brave attempt, and after Lao Liu beat him, he hugged a widow into the house.

Zhang Wuliu was angry and said that he was going to complain to his mother-in-law when he went back, so he was beaten again, and the other widow was taken away by Chang Mao, who was also willing to make a brave attempt.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the familiar "Ya Butterfly" from the next room, but there were more vibratos from the widows, it seemed that Lao Liu's frequency was quite high, and he was really old and strong, and Ma Du fell asleep in a sigh.

After coming out of Songjiang, I followed Shen Wansan to visit the textile industry in Hangzhou, which is similar to the model in Songjiang, the only difference is that the textile industry in Hangzhou focuses on silk brocade, while Songjiang focuses on cotton cloth.

came out of Hangzhou and rushed to Pingjiang, and when he saw the tall city wall of Pingjiang, he pinched his fingers and counted that he had left Yingtian for more than a month.

Shen Wansan seemed to be hesitant, "Cousin, do you really want to follow me into this Pingjiang City?" "Along the way, for the sake of convenience, Ma Du and Shen Wansan showed themselves as distant cousins.

"Now that you've arrived, why don't you go in?" Ma Du tilted his head sideways and asked Shen Wansan, "Cousin is still hiding from me in Pingjiang City." ”

Shen Wansan said seriously: "Cousin, you are a knowing consultant!" ”

"Could it be that my cousin will report me to Zhang Shicheng?"

Shen Wansan hurriedly sighed: "King Zhang Wu has won the hearts of the people in Pingjiang, and it is very inappropriate for you to call him like this. Since my cousin wants to go to the city, let's go, for the sake of money, my cousin can't betray you! ”
