Chapter 19 Canvas weaving
Jiang Hexing returned to Xianwu City, arranged for the army to enter the barracks, and began a new training. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He wrote a plan for Zhang Jie to implement.
He found Zhang Kai, Zheng San, He Ming, Zhao Guang, Li Xiaowen, Yang Hong, etc., to discuss the next step of development.
The first thing, first He Ming told about the division of land, first around Xianwu, and then between Xianwu and Zhangwu, first used as a division of land, first according to military merits, military ranks, etc., the minimum of 20 hectares of land per soldier, squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, etc., is added in turn, and civilians are divided into 10 hectares of land regardless of size, all of which are Yongye fields and never pay taxes. Wuhuan captives and husband-yu captives are not separated for the time being, and they work here for another two years to atone for their sins, and after the atonement period, they can become civilians after passing the examination, and have the rights of civilians. The assessment requirements can speak Chinese, children are studying, etc., and the elderly with one skill can be exempted as appropriate. In addition, if there are people in the rest of Xianwu City who open up wasteland and cultivate land, after examination, they will be exempted from tax for three years, and after three years, they will pay grain at one-thirtieth of the rate.
Everyone was shocked, how could so much land be cultivated, and there would still be people clearing the wasteland. He Ming smiled and explained, Mr. Jiang thinks that there are too few of us, and if there is more land, we will try to find people. As soon as everyone heard that it made sense, they all agreed, and now everyone here has the most points, of course they have no opinion, but they also have a headache how to find someone.
The second thing is that Zhao Guang talks about the school. The school had already been built, but Lu Xin and Lu Yi moved in to start teaching, and Zhao Guang was in charge of school management. Zhao Guang introduced that there are not many students now, many students have not yet entered the school, and the teaching materials are not complete.
Jiang Hexing nodded, recognizing Zhao Guangzhi's work, education is fundamental, but it takes a long time.
Later, Yang Hong introduced the work of the Chamber of Commerce, and Li Xiaowen introduced the situation of Chengwu, focusing on the contact with the Han Dynasty to protect the Wuhuan captain, we have sent people to Youzhou, and the Wuhuan captain They don't care much about the internal affairs of the Wuhuan, as long as they are not associated with the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty will turn a blind eye, as long as they grasp the proportions. Li Xiaowen estimated that he didn't make a lot of money, he didn't say anything here, and Jiang Hexing didn't ask much. All in all, the result is not bad.
After saying this, Li Xiaowen stood up and saluted Jiang Hexing: "Mr. Jiang, most of us here have received your great favor, and the people of these cities are also saved by you. I ask my husband to take us to stand on our own, and ask my husband to set himself up as a king, so as to reassure everyone. ”
When everyone heard what Li Xiaowenzhi said, they all stood up, bowed and saluted: "Please Mr. Jiang set himself up as the king." ”
Jiang Hexing excused himself, and everyone asked for it, but Jiang Hexing had to agree. Everyone discussed and agreed to be the 'king of peace', taking the meaning of "harmony is precious", Jiang Hexing smiled secretly: beat others to the point that they can't raise their heads, and they also call harmony precious, so "harmony is precious". What song to sing on what mountain, in this era, do it according to the rules of this era.
Once he became king, he had to be busy with many things, the first was to be recognized by the Han Dynasty, Jiang Hexing at least didn't want to fight because of this, so he entrusted this matter to Li Xiaowen.
Secondly, the internal work adjustment, which used to be temporary, should now be fixed and normalized. Third, the most important thing is to increase the strength of the people, so that the people can be rich and live a better life here.
Jiang Hexing handed over a lot of work to Zhang Kai and Zheng San, and they had been busy for many days with their own school textbooks, and finally finished writing them on this day. Looking at the heavy snow falling outside, Jiang Hexing sent someone to send the teaching materials to the school, and stepped on the snow to go home.
Along the way, there were few pedestrians, all of them were hurrying with their heads down, and many of them covered their heads firmly, and they didn't even greet Jiang Hexing, and Jiang Hexing felt very comfortable.
When I arrived at the door of the house, I heard a hearty laugh coming from inside, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that my sister-in-law was coming, as if the mother-in-law was also there in the voice. Jiang Hexing went directly into the house, there were just three mothers inside, they probably didn't expect Jiang Hexing to come back, and they were stunned for a moment. Zhao Qingyang said directly: "Oh, my brother-in-law is back." Brother-in-law, you really have the ability, don't you already know that it's cold here, and you have to prepare thick fabrics. ”
Jiang Hexing was stunned, I have that ability. saw that the three of them were making clothes, and when they looked closely, it was the canvas fabric made by Zhao Qingyi last time. He didn't tell Zhao Qingyi what to do, they were also smart, and they thought of clothes all of a sudden, but no, if the fabric doesn't make clothes, what else can they do?
Jiang Hexing said with a smile: "I originally used this fabric on the boat, but I didn't expect you to start making clothes, but I didn't expect that it was cold here, and it was just right to make clothes." ”
"Virtuous son-in-law, I've seen a lot of boats in Qingzhou, but haven't I seen a boat with clothes on?" Zhao Li couldn't figure out what the cloth was used for on the ship.
Jiang Hexing replied: "This cloth is called canvas, which is mainly used on boats, and you will know this when you see it later." In this way, the ship can run faster than the horse, and it can really travel thousands of miles in a day, and eight hundred in a night. ”
The three men stopped their work, grabbed the fabric again, and looked over and over again, as if they were about to find some kind of secret.
Zhao Qingyi said: "Husband, you don't know, the clothes and hats made by our Qingzhou people are bought by people from all over the Han Dynasty." I heard that where salt is sold, clothes and hats can be sold. My sister and I saw that your clothes were good, so we thought about opening a ready-to-wear store and selling clothes to save a dowry for Qingyang. ”
Zhao Qingyang's face was crimson, and he lowered his head.
Zhao Li said: "Virtuous son-in-law, you don't know, I used to make clothes at home, you can see the level of Yi's clothes, you learned from me." It's a pity, after marrying your father-in-law, I cook every day, Qingzhou is also very cold in winter, my hands are frostbitten, and in winter, it hurts and swells, and I can't make clothes. It's good now, what do you think about this house now, it's cold at all, Qingyi can be considered blessed. ”
Qingyi also looked at the river with a smile on her face.
Zhao Li continued: "But Qingyang hasn't landed yet, your father-in-law and I are in a hurry, you see that the previous family business is gone, and Qingyi didn't have any decent dowry when she got married, not to mention the difficulties at that time." But now we're different, we can't let people underestimate us, you say, right? Xiaoli is stingy and makes people laugh at us, when I got married, the dowry was several cars, oops, all over the country can come and see......"
Zhao Li habitually turned on the mode of talking aunt, Jiang Hexing didn't dare to say anything, he could only listen quietly, Zhao Qingyi also looked at his mother, not impatient. The more Zhao Qingyang listened, the more frowning he became, and then he spoke: "Mother, don't talk about me, my brother-in-law is about to memorize, what used to be a big family, how many houses in the family, how many servants, how can my uncle be a scholar, not a lowly businessman, etc." ”
Zhao Qingyi glared at her sister: "Why do you talk to your mother like this?" ”
Zhao Qingyang ignored his sister and mother, and looked straight at Jiang Hexing: "Brother-in-law, do you know how this cloth is woven?" ”
"Then tell me, I really don't know."
"Oh, after you left last time, my sister took those pieces of cloth every day, looked at them every day, went to find someone to weave cloth every day, and asked them if they could weave it, but after seeing it, they said they couldn't weave it. Later, my sister found a few carpenters who could make looms, and showed them to others, but they didn't know either. Later, there was a carpenter named Wang Ke, who could weave cloth, and he said that he would take the cloth back and look at it. A few days later, my sister and I went to see if the cloth was well woven, and not only was the cloth not woven well, but the cloth was torn into strips. My sister was very angry, saying that he couldn't do it, so why did he tear the cloth. After my sister came back, she cried in the house, who knew that Wang Ke came again, in the summer, carrying a wooden strip on his back, kneeling in the yard. He said that he was sorry for Mr. Jiang's great kindness, and said that he would definitely weave this cloth within a month, but he needed a bigger piece of cloth. My sister and I, so angry, couldn't beat him away with a stone, who knew that he was in the yard, constantly kowtowing, banging, and his bald head was bleeding. My sister was soft-hearted, and later cut a large piece from your black backpack and told him to hurry away. When he left, he also said that if he couldn't do it, he would commit suicide and apologize. I told him, who cares if you commit suicide or not, you just leave Zhangjiazhuang in the future. Who knows, after 20 days he made a new loom, and in a few days he really weaved this cloth. ”
Jiang Hexing didn't expect this to be so tortuous to make fabric, he looked at his wife and said, "I'm really embarrassed for you." Zhao Qingyi looked at Jiang Hexing and smiled slightly, it seemed that he understood Jiang Hexing's intentions, and Jiang Hexing also understood her intentions.
Jiang Hexing continued: "This Wang Ke is still a scholar, I really didn't expect it. ”
Zhao Qingyang's two big eyes became abnormally bright, and he said to Jiang Hexing: "Brother-in-law, you also said that you are not an immortal." Wang Keke said that he was never lucky to see you, how do you know that he is a scholar? He, he doesn't seem to be a scholar, he says it's a carpenter, he often makes things differently from others, he is stupid in the eyes of others, and Zheng San didn't let him come last time he was a soldier, hehe. ”
Jiang Hexing smiled and said, "I don't see him and he knows that he is a scholar, you can go back and ask your father-in-law to understand." By the way, if you want to open a store, you might as well weave cloth, buy a loom from Wang Ke, let him make more, make 10 units first, and open a cloth factory with Qingyang. Give the clothes to the coat shop, and let them do the business, and you can just weave the cloth. ”
