After sending An Zhengfang away, Xiao Zheng took three Hu merchants and went straight to Pei Mingli's silk weaving factory.

After arriving, Xiao Zheng was taken aback by the scene inside: nearly 1,000 female workers were busy in the factory, and the cocoons collected from the silkworm cocoons finally turned into colorful silk in the hands of these female workers.

The eyes of the three Hu merchants were straight, especially Ahed, who was engaged in the silk business, and entered the gold mountain with a beggar, dancing and touching the silk, and smiling with his mouth open.

"We have three workshops like this, and we will expand this year, how much can you collect from these silks," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"My lord, I will take as much as you give me, this kind of exquisite silk is much better than the quality that the villain bought in Chang'an City, if it is transported to the Western Regions, one silk can be exchanged for two horses."

"Okay, you go and discuss the price with Pei Mingli, but this time I have a condition, I specify that your business this time is to ask for horses, and you can exchange the horses for the horses, and you can exchange them, I urgently need war horses, and it is best for all your horses to be exchanged from the Turks."

"My lord, I want silk, how many horses do you want!" Ahed said confidently.

"You don't have to be blindfolded by silk, and be careful that the large horse trade will alert the Turks," Xiao Zheng reminded him.

"No, because we are Hu people, it is easier to mix among the Turks".

"Okay, I'll give you all this shipment."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness," the three Hu people happily saluted Xiao Zheng.

After finishing his work, he went to the office room to drink tea and chat with a few people, Pei Mingli came over with a smile.

"Why, it seems that I made money," Xiao Zheng said to Pei Mingli with a smile.

"There are adults who think that it is difficult not to make money, this silk weaving machine was first changed to a pedal handle to vacate it, plus with reference to the loom you got from the Yushan Textile Factory, we have transformed it again, the original two veterans weave a high-quality silk in ten days, and now with this machine, a skilled hand can weave a horse in five days without worry, that is to say, the output has quadrupled, but these Hu merchants are also charged at the market price, and the villain and they said that everyone is doing things for the Tang Dynasty, so they gave them a twenty percent discount, and the three people are happy to praise your benevolence."

"You are worthy of being a giant businessman in Chang'an, and it is difficult to make money like this or not."

"My lord, you also have a way to make money, this is called a win-win situation, you said" Pei Mingli's expression at the moment was like a fox who had successfully stolen chickens.

"The credit for changing this machine is all on that handsome guy, but he is too likable," Pei Mingli pointed to the public loss next to him, Ruoyi said with a wicked smile.

When this guy arrived at the silk weaving factory, the genetics in his bones played a role, and he didn't leave the house around this loom, and this loom was originally made by his male loser, and it took less than half a month to successfully transform it.

There were many female workers in the silk weaving factory, and it was strange that everyone didn't look at such a handsome little brother who suddenly broke in. The Jiangnan woman was originally bright, and the place where Ruoyi worked in the end was watched by a large group of children every day, and there were two or three fights to watch him.

Angry, Ruoyi threw the guy away, found Pei Mingli and threatened that if he let people stop working like onlookers and monkeys, Pei Mingli had no choice but to send a few people to guard the door to solve the matter.

"I said, just now a lot of female workers pushed the cart to the back of me intentionally or unintentionally, it turned out to be to see this guy, but he's okay, he always has a dead face, and he hasn't harmed anyone's girl with this face" Xiao Zheng looked at Gong Yi Ruoyi and said.

If the public loses, if Yili ignores it, Xiao Zheng twisted his head to the side.

"You won't be sick and like men, right?" Xiao Zheng suddenly said to him.

"You're sick! You like men! Gong Yi Ruoyi said angrily.

"Then why don't you find a mother-in-law, oh, find a woman to marry, you should get married at your age" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"Then you haven't been except for Mr. Ji not going to visit the Qinglou, are you scared of Sister Jin'er?"

Damn, Xiao Zheng went up and kicked Ruoyi according to the public defeat, and the others ran out before they could get to him.

"My lord, the lower official will retire" Pei Mingli arched his hand and got up and walked out of the room.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Zheng heard Pei Mingli's sound of laughter.

A bunch of shameless villains .......

July was originally the solar term at the beginning of the scorching heat, but the rice fields outside Yangzhou Hangzhou and Chuzhou were golden, and the double-cropping rice finally ushered in its first large-scale harvest in the south of the Yangtze River, and the 10,000 acres of fields were full of farmers cutting rice.

The doctors of agronomy invited by Xiao Zheng were happy and a little nervous, and they were standing in front of the rice field planted by Xiao Zheng's seedling throwing method, waiting for people to weigh the yield of rice.

After weighing the weight, Liu Yijie came over and said with a smile: "My lord, according to the new measurement unit, this land produces 500 catties of grain per mu, and the yield per mu next to it is 450 catties, a difference of one percent."

"How can this be?" A few farming veterans scratched their heads, but they couldn't understand on the ground, they had planted the fields all their lives, and it was better for Xiao Zheng to find a helper to throw seedlings in the field and throw them into the field with a high yield.

"Serve, the old man admits defeat, and the next season of rice will come according to your transplanting method" Several agricultural doctors were also happy.

"Although a few old people are farmers, they are bright and upright, and they are admired in their later years!" Xiao Zheng arched his hand at a few old men and said.

"However, a few old people, first select those rice ears in the rice field with full ears and thick rice grains to make seeds and quickly raise seedlings, which is the right thing, and there are nearly one million acres of fertile land waiting for seedlings."

"Don't worry, this adult, the old man has already lost to you in farming, and you will be reminded of this matter of harvesting seedlings, and the old man will jump into the ditch next to him and drown," said a few old men with a smile.

The words of a few old men caused happy laughter in the rice fields, and they all sounded like they were full in their hearts.

Liu Yijie said with a smile: "My lord, not counting the original farmland, it is nearly one million mu of fertile land that we newly reclaimed last year and this year, and the yield per mu is close to four stones without planting double-cropping rice, which means that there are at least four million quintals of grain in hand."

"Good! Let Pei Mingli's bank prepare, and use all the money collected by Hu merchants to buy rice and transport it to the north, since the first year of Zhenguan, there has been no good harvest in Guanzhong, so that Pei Mingli can open his mouth to collect grain, don't be afraid to spend money."

"No!" Liu Yijie turned around and went busily.

After the rice was harvested, the red sun was sinking in the west, and smoke rose from the roofs of every house, and as we walked along the road, the sound of women calling for their children to come home for dinner could be heard in the distance. When some farmers came to their houses after they were done, their wives brought out a large bowl of white rice, scooped up a few duck eggs from the ditch and fried them, plus two fatty boiled fish, which made people appetize.

Wu Shi Tong said with emotion: "If my Tang family is like this, why worry about the country for ten thousand years."

"Lao Wu, if we harvest all their harvest in this field and then pay the wages, then the yield will definitely not be high, but you said that only the part of the harvest will be collected, and the rest of the yield will all belong to them, as long as you don't get too much, these people will do everything possible to increase production, to put it bluntly, it is to mobilize their enthusiasm."

"This is your Xiao Gong's rule!" Wu Shi Tong bowed to Xiao Zheng very formally.

"Okay, Lao Wu, don't keep saluting, starting tomorrow, send everyone out to buy food."

"My lord, where will you use nearly 1,000 acres of sugarcane in the future?" Xu Jingzong asked with a smile.

"This is a good thing, and I will make a fortune with it in the future," Xiao Zheng said with a laugh.
