Chapter 72 Silk Weaving Competition
The more the year passes, the more original statistics will be sent from all over the country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHebei Province uses more paper than Luoyang this year, of course, it can't be compared with Beijing.
"Ah Lang, why is it so festive?"
Anu was wrapped in a white fox fur fur, stepped on black leather riding boots, and tied a bow with pink perilla silk on the belt that narrowed her waist. She doesn't like gold, most of them are silverware hanging on her body, and she uses a lot of cat's eye inlays, plus blue-green stones, which makes her look even more playful and youthful.
It's just that the woman didn't stop talking for a moment, and when she talked to Zhang De, she was still holding a handful of pine nuts in her hand......
"Junpeng's cotton production in Hebei has been counted."
After drinking a glass of honey water, Xue Zhaonu, who had long legs and a thin waist, made a sound step by step, and then sat generously on the side of the warm couch, stuffed the pine nuts back into the pocket around his waist, and then kneaded Zhang De's shoulders and carried them.
Time has passed, and the xiaolongbao of the year was slim and slim.
"Oh, cotton is warm. The quilt is the second lady's favorite. Anu probably didn't know the subtle benefits of cotton, nor did he know the preciousness of this object, so he chirped and said, "Ah Lang, can you reward the slave with a cotton quilt?" Last month, my aunt said it was cold, and leopard skins were of little use. The emperor got a few tiger skins, and she didn't have a turn......"
Well, that's good, Lao Tzu almost forgot that you and the Emperor Taishang are still relatives.
The statistical table in Lao Zhang's hand is still very gratifying, Jia Junpeng's wheat and cotton interplanting, and the highest record of cotton has broken four stones. But that land is different, it is Uekata, one of the few Uetian fields in Hebei Province, and the top water is good. Most of them are still maintained at about two stones, and the low ones are not even one stone.
This yield, after 1,500 years, will be a lump of poop, and those who farm the land will lose to dogs, and then they will be whipped and whipped by their wives.
But now it is the Tang Dynasty, it is the eighth year of Zhenguan, and an emperor like Li Dong has a lofty goal, as long as cotton shows its power, cotton is no problem to sell as silk.
Of course, the current cotton cloth is more expensive than the Shu brocade sold......
Zhang De, who was overjoyed, said casually: "You also have a heart, so I'll let Uncle Tan go and get one back for you." ”
"Really?"
"What's in it for me to lie to you?"
"It's a pleasure. Hasn't Ah Lang often been a concubine in recent years? ”
“……”
Lao Zhang also sighed, these days, cotton bedding can also be used as a force, and there is no one.
There was a light snow in the capital, and after the clearing, Zhang De rode the black wind and went to Dongcheng.
Uncle Zhang is about to return to Beijing, and at this time, Princess Langya's mansion has begun to be arranged, and the beautiful man who fell to the scumbag turned back to Chang'an, and the emperor also wanted to come over to watch.
Lao Zhang arrived at the door of the mansion, and the family order greeted him in person, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "Gong Cao, Your Highness has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Don't tie it, there is a labor order."
After that, Zhang De untied another bag and handed it to the family order: "It's very cold, the family order will take it to buy some chicken soup and let everyone warm up." ”
"Thank you."
is already very familiar, and the family commander naturally knows that Zhang De has always been generous. If nothing else, there will be a China Resources Flying Ticket in the bag, and then a few silver dollars.
Silver dollars can't be bought on the street, but they can be used in the shops of China Resources Firm, in short, all the exquisite and wonderful utensils in the capital, China Resources Firm must have them.
Over time, among private merchants, although the silver dollar cannot be traded or used as currency in name, in terms of operational convenience, the silver dollar used by China Resources Company in Denglai can be used as currency. Even in general big transactions, it is much easier to use than Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Hei Feng snorted and snorted, and then ran to the stable of Princess Langya's mansion by himself, looked for a spacious manger, and then lowered his head and ate the beans......
"Auntie."
"Da Lang, I heard that Poly Construction has made a new batch of looms?"
The new loom is a silk loom, and after the new silkworm house is put into operation, the sericulture industry will make a qualitative leap in the coming year. The practice of catching wild silkworms will be a thing of the past. Therefore, in the face of the short-term surge in silk and the long-term stable large-scale growth, it is normal for the new loom to be arranged in advance.
And the first place where the new loom was put into the Jiangnan area, in addition to Suzhou, there is also the Xiangfan area. Among them is the city where Zhang De wants to open a large construction.
There are many people who know that Poly Construction has actions, but even if you look at it, after all, no one knows that the efficiency of sericulture will suddenly skyrocket.
However, those who know Zhang De's hole cards have a different mind.
Princess Langya is obviously not full, and she has nothing to do, so she shush and ask for warmth.
Li Ko hugged his son, but his eyes were looking at Zhang De.
After saluting, Zhang De knelt on one side, picked up the hot tea on the desk and took a sip, sorted out his thoughts, and asked directly: "But someone came to find Aunt Xiang?" ”
"The Hannan Royal Mansion sent a gift of 50,000 yuan." Li Ko paused, his face was not greedy for money, and he didn't feel anything wrong. She is a princess with real power, and she has military achievements, not an ordinary Li girl, "His son-in-law is doing all the hard work, I hope you can support her." ”
"King Hannam?"
Zhang De's mind spun around, and he immediately understood who Princess Langya was talking about about his son-in-law.
"Ran Yanzhou has a respected status, and he is His Majesty's heart, and he still lacks wealth?" Zhang De smiled, "The Ran family has lived in Badong for a long time, and half of the Shu brocade shops are from his family. ”
Shu brocade, whether it is in the past or in the future, is a real hard currency. Even Zhang De can say that the current Zhenguan Dynasty, if it weren't for Su Si's convenience of shipping water conservancy, otherwise he could only be hung up and beaten by Shu Jin.
The linen cloth in the land of Bashu, placed in Chang'an, is equivalent to the ordinary local silk silk of Chang'an. The price of high-end products has always been a question of how many zeros to add later.
"There are so many new looms, don't I know what to do?"
Li Ko laughed, "Da Lang don't underestimate Ran Zhengwen, this person is capable of writing and martial arts, and the defeat of the Xiao family is indispensable." ”
Ran Zhengwen is Ran Rencai, and there is nothing magnificent about this person's own beginning. The main reason is that his father Ran Anchang's status is a bit awesome, and in the years when Yang Guang got rid of it, the leader of Badongman was Ran Anchang.
When Datang was founded as a company, it was Ran Rencai's father Ran Anchang who took refuge in the old chairman, so that the salesman in the southwest region could develop a new team member every day.
Then, Xiao Milling, who was unlucky, was later killed in Jiangxia because of the baton of Ran's father and son.
Compared with the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin's "good comfort", "reliable" and "An'erle", Ran Rencai's status is probably "Mighty Pill", in short, Wu Denian Badongman was obedient to the Tang Dynasty because of him. Then he was transferred to Yanzhou to guard the Qiandong Pass, and he was also the one.
Basically, the problem of the barbarians in the southwest did not have much trouble in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and it had a lot to do with the Ran father and son.
Besides, he is the Duke of Wushan who was sealed by Emperor Li, and listening to this name is different from other people's painting style.
"What does Ran Yanzhou want?"
"First, I want to buy a few poems for my eldest son Ran Shi, not to weaken the Qujiang Literary Society, and use it for the sake of Zikeju; Second, the loom should be bought from Poly Construction 20,000 frames, ten through one frame, of which the weaver professor is used, one frame five times; The third is that Shujin needs a joint wharf in Hanyang. These are the three things, what does Da Lang think? ”
These three requirements are very reasonable. The cost of the new loom is about two times, the output is as high as 20,000 machines, and the cost can be compressed by another 500 Wen, basically one out of ten, which is also the purchase price in the Guanluo area, and there is nothing harsh. As for training weavers to use new looms and paying back the money, Ran Rencai's brain is really progressive.
But these two requirements, compared to the third one, are a fart.
Hanyang got a wharf there, so to speak, even if the Ran family didn't sell Shu brocade, they would earn money and count until they had cramps.
As long as the Ran family has a few boats, they import raw silk and porcelain from the left and right sides of the river, and go to Hanyang, and then transport the raw silk into Shudi, and the porcelain is directly sold locally or in Guanluo in the north.
In the primitive silkworm breeding, the output of Bashu is not low, but in the face of new sericulture, the output of Bashu is probably not as good as the output of Chuzhou. Of course, Ran Ren may not know this, but even if he doesn't know, with the dock in Hanyang, where will he import raw silk? Anyway, it is still a question of how many zeros to add later.
So what Zhang De has to face is a very strong potential opponent.
"When will Uncle return?"
Zhang De did not directly answer Li Ko's words, but asked Zhang Gongjin.
"I have arrived in Luoyang, and I will have a few banquets, and I will arrive in Beijing on the ninth day of the new year at the latest."
"I hope my aunt won't blame me for this, and wait for my uncle to return."
"No wonder, no wonder, I'm just entrusted by someone, a gift of 50,000 yuan. Ran Zhengwen has what he wants, why should I take it to heart. ”
She hugged her son and smiled casually, and then said, "After your uncle returns, the Cheng family will recommend Da Lang to work in the Ministry of Engineering, and Da Lang still needs to prepare." ”
"My nephew is awake." (To be continued.) )
