Half a month has passed.

During this time, Miao Xi had come to the palace several times, and each time she insisted that Yang Mu wanted to dedicate herself to bed, but he refused.

Just kidding, such a demon girl, who knows what she has in mind?

Besides, she is still thinking about grabbing the queen's position, and she must not give any opportunity to take advantage of such unstable factors that destroy family harmony!

In the folk, it also presents a thriving image.

After the beginning of spring, farmers began to sow in full swing, and the first wave of cultivation began on the newly cultivated fields that were newly cultivated last year.

The Ministry of Household has made a detailed statistics, the cultivated land area of the entire Cangguo, compared with last year's registration, has increased by more than 30 percent, which still counts Zheng Di and Shen Di, if only Cangguo itself is calculated, the cultivated land area has increased by at least 60 percent.

Of course, taking advantage of the slack season, the construction of schools in various places is also stepping up, in addition to each village has a teacher, in every township, a public school has been set up, and every county town has also set up a county school.

The teaching content of village school is mainly literacy and literacy; The teaching content of Zhenxue is mainly to impart specific knowledge; The teaching content of the county school is to govern the country and select elites.

Village school, town school, and county school constitute the existing education system of the entire Cangguo.

It is worth mentioning the merits of the two factories, the paper mill and the printing plant.

In the past two months, they have earned a total of nearly three million taels of silver for Cangguo!

Therefore, with the silver migrated from the annexation of Shen and Zheng, and the removal of some expenses and money for the purchase of strategic materials, the balance of the treasury reached more than nine million taels!

Nine million, that's a huge number!

You must know that half a year ago, Cangguo's treasury couldn't even take out 900,000 taels!

Therefore, when the household department reported the amount of money in the treasury at the court meeting, it caused an uproar!

The ministers seemed to be living in a dream, in the past, more than half of the wealth of the entire Cangguo was in the hands of the six major gates, and the wealth collected into the treasury in a year may be less than 20%.

But now, compared with the national treasury, what is the property of the major families?

Unless the industry including farmland and shops is pressed, it can only be crushed.

Immediately, Yang Mu waved his pen and allocated 1 million taels to the Ministry of Households for agricultural subsidies to stimulate agricultural productivity, and at the same time allocated 1 million taels to the Ministry of Industry for the construction of domestic infrastructure.

In addition, it is the Ministry of Science and Technology.

In terms of scale, the Ministry of Science and Technology can be said to be the smallest of the twelve, and all the officials are in the imperial city, and they rarely go to the local government offices.

However, no one dares to underestimate it.

On the one hand, the Ministry of Science and Technology is the most important department of His Majesty the Emperor, and every official in the department enjoys very high treatment, as long as there is a small breakthrough in research and development, the rewards obtained are enough for the salary of officials in other departments for more than half a year.

Let's just say that Shangshu Ouye of the Ministry of Science and Technology, who has been rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor several times, and eats dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, did not forget to let the eunuch send a copy of the past, such a holy dependent, only the Ministry of Education Shangshu Kong Shangxian can compare.

On the other hand, it can be said that half of the nine million taels of silver in the treasury are the credit of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and everyone understands that if it were not for the Ministry of Science and Technology to create those strange things, there would be no such items as large white paper and books that sell well in various countries!

Therefore, when Yang Mu announced the allocation of 1 million taels to set up a scientific research fund dedicated to the research and development of various technologies and rewards, no one objected, and all of them agreed.

Because, the progress of the Ministry of Science and Technology is also an opportunity for them!

Recently, led by paper mills and printing houses, the caravans in Cangcheng have gradually increased, which has also led to the prosperity of the local business of Cangguo.

To give a very simple example, when merchants from all over the world come to Cangguo, they always have to find a place to eat and rest, right? Horses pulling goods should eat grass, right? When you're full of food and drink, you always have some entertainment at night to solve your physiological problems, right? If you live for a long time, clothes, shoes and socks, you have to buy a few sets, right?

No problem, these needs can be solved in the city!

For a time, restaurants, inns, green buildings, casinos, and ready-to-wear stores can be said to have made a lot of money, and a group of businessmen who are not bad for money directly let the people of Cangguo see what is really rich and what is really richer than nobles!

The bigger the shops became, the more produce they needed, and the people around them would occasionally carry eggs, charcoal, vegetables and other things to sell.

According to the statistics and surveys of the Ministry of Households, the market in Cangcheng has prospered several times at least, and the profits of each shop have increased at least twice.

Of course, this is not only the credit of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the development of a country's economy is the improvement of a system, so Yang Mu is not distressed at all when he threw out three million taels of silver at once.

He understands very clearly that the strength of a country is not determined by the amount of money in the treasury, and the game of great powers is compared with the comprehensive national strength and the quality of the whole people, for example, most countries on the earth have issued a large number of national bonds, and those large companies are almost all in debt.

At present, Cangguo is in a period of rapid development, and the greater the flow of treasury funds and social funds, the better!

That being said, the money has to be spent wisely.

For example, spring ploughing has just begun, and there are not many things for ordinary people, so Yang Mu is thinking that he can start another plan.

Loom!

Since ancient times, judging whether the people's lives are good or not is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Therefore, in ancient times, food and clothing were particularly important and closely related to the lives of ordinary people.

The level of textiles is directly linked to the social economy!

For example, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the textile industry accounted for a large proportion of the annual financial revenue, and even used as currency to pay compensation and tribute to the nomads in the north.

In this world, there are also textile machines, but the simplest textile machines, such as reeling wheels, spinning wheels, looms, etc., the role is only an auxiliary, not a large-scale production tool, for daily family needs are enough, but to say mass production, become a means of making money, is simply a pipe dream.

Therefore, once the textile machine is born, it will definitely have a great role in promoting the development of the textile industry, ordinary people's families, if every household can have such a one, women use their leisure time to weave cloth and make clothes, and they can get a very good income every year.

When it comes to textile machines, we have to say that the beginning of the first industrial revolution - Jenny machine, although this thing is a foreigner's thing, but the role is undoubted, it is indeed the beginning of mechanized light industry, although the quality of the woven gauze is not as good as Seiko slow grinding, but it is enough for ordinary people.

One such machine is enough for dozens of textile workers!
