"Qinggai Tingting, the lover is gone, and he is fighting to endure Lingbo. I am afraid that the dance clothes will be cold and easy to fall, and I will be worried about the west wind Nanpu. The high willows are weeping in the shade, the old fish are blowing the waves, leaving me to live among the flowers"

Yang Yi stood at the bow of the boat, muttering a few words without a head or tail, the river breeze blowing, his sleeves fluttering, and he is really a romantic figure in the world.

The sound of oars on the Bianhe River, the boats come and go continuously, the smoke willows on both sides of the river are vague, and the scenery is picturesque. Looking back, the majestic city of Tokyo has been submerged in smoke and willows.

Qing Niang heard the sound and walked out of the cabin, she wore a spring shirt, Luo skirt fluttering, just like the Lingbo fairy, adding the most vivid stroke to this moving spring.

"Does Brother Yang miss Jiangnan?"

"What did Qing Niang say?"

"I guess it must be thinking, time flies so fast, we haven't been back to Jiangnan for two or three years. Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight, sold apricot blossoms in the deep alleys of the Ming Dynasty, this early spring in February, it is the most beautiful season in Jiangnan, and I also miss Jiangnan. ”

Qing Niang had a yearning look on her face, she had been to Jiangnan twice, Yang Yi had accompanied her around to enjoy the spring in Jiangnan, those good times were deeply imprinted in her mind, how can she not forget.

Yang Yi said with a smile: "Qing Niang, Brother Yang went out to Beijing to inspect the place this time, there is no special arrangement on the itinerary, just take a look at random, and there is no time limit, this time, Brother Yang Yi will not only take you to revisit Jiangnan, but also take you to the splendid rivers and mountains all over the world, and your "Qing Niang Wanderings" can add a strong stroke." ”

Qing Niang couldn't hide her joy when she heard it, although it was hard to travel far away, but as the saying goes, read 10,000 books. It's better to travel thousands of miles, if Li Bai doesn't roam all his life. If Du Fu hadn't been in the world for half a lifetime, how could he have come to the most magnificent poems of the Tang Dynasty!

In fact, Qing Niang understands. The most beautiful poems are not something that she can find with Xiao Ai in search of all over Tokyo, the most beautiful poems are between the magnificent rivers and mountains, and if you don't walk around or see, it will be difficult to write the same magnificent poems.

Yang Yi also believes that taking Qingniang out for a walk will broaden her horizons, and even if there is no "miserable and miserable" "Slow Voice" in the future, there will be more ethereal and far-reaching poems in her pen.

This time he went out of Beijing. Of course, there will be some arrangements in private, but the official has really not set any itinerary and time, the Great Song Dynasty has been reforming for six or seven years, how have various policies been implemented at the local level? What kind of changes did the reform bring to the people? What adjustments need to be made according to the actual situation? This is certainly not something that can be concluded by listening to local reports in Tokyo.

In recent years, the imperial court has always sent high-ranking officials to inspect the localities, but Yang Yi, as the formulator of many policies, has never actually inspected the localities, which is not good.

Therefore, as soon as the expansion project of the capital was completed, he immediately went out to Beijing to inspect.

It is now the spring of the fifth year of Wenchang, and the expansion project of the capital took 16 months. This was completed half a year ahead of schedule after Yang Yi fully implemented the policy of more work and more rewards. For more than a year, Yang Yi has been staying in the capital and is quite leisurely. This trip to Beijing can be regarded as a quiet thought.

In the cabin, Adella was boiling water to make tea, and when Yang Yi and Qingniang returned to the cabin. The water on the stove is just boiling.

With an uncontrollable smile on her face, Adela took out the tea leaves from the tea pot with a bamboo tong and put them into the cup. Then pour in boiling water and cover with a tea lid. The slender hands, the movements are light and agile, and they are full of beauty.

Yang Yi looked at her with a smile, and felt a little emotion in her heart, Adella was a princess of a country, ten fingers do not touch the spring water, making tea These things have never been done before, she has been working hard to learn Han culture, including tea art, and now the tea ceremony has been learned.

This time, Yang Yi was able to bring Adele out with her, and she was naturally very happy in her heart, serving tea and incense, and competing to do everything. When the tea was brought to Yang Yi, she smiled and said, "Please Yang Lang taste it, this tea can suit your heart." ”

Yang Yi opened the lid of the teacup, and a wisp of fragrance suddenly filled the cabin, he took a sip and praised with a smile: "Good tea, Adella's tea art is becoming more and more exquisite." ”

Adella had just learned this tea technique, and she was praised and even more happy, and a touch of beauty flowed on her beautiful face.

The rise of this tea is not long, all along, like the royal and aristocratic drink of the group tea, the production of group tea is mainly to pick the new leaves on the retort steamed, and then pounded, put into the model with hand to pat into a certain shape, and then dry, packaged on it.

This kind of group tea should be decocted when drinking, and cheese and spices should be added to fry together.

The appearance of clear tea is also in the past twenty or thirty years, and the spread is not wide, the first appearance should be in the Hangzhou area.

Su Dongpo once made an evaluation of group tea and clear tea respectively, and recognized that group tea has "Heshuo fat and numbness". The so-called fat and hemp gas, that is, the tea fragrance is mixed, although it is strong, but the true fragrance of tea is lost.

When he was an official in Hangzhou, he often went to the Shousheng Temple at the foot of Longjing Shifeng Mountain to taste tea and chant poetry, and the "Baiyun Peak Tea" drunk was the roasted tea that the monks tried to make, and Su Dongpo had left "two flags under Baiyun Peak, greasy green and long fresh valley rain spring." Verses.

When the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company was established, Yang Yi had instructed Han Bier and others to work hard to explore the roasting tea process, and the hard work paid off.

Because the West Indian Ocean Trading Company was the first to explore this field, it had a technological advantage in roasting tea, and the tea alone earned enough money, and the shareholders of the trading company admired Yang Yi's foresight and wisdom, and now he has any ideas, and the shareholders of the trading company do not discount them.

When the boat arrived in Yongqiu County, Yang Yi stopped the boat and docked, ready to go ashore to have a look. He went out of Beijing this time with a lot of people, together with the guards, a total of more than 200 people, but not all of them followed Yang Yi, most of these people took the land route, like a big net, to the states and counties along the way, to collect all kinds of information for Yang Yi.

At present, Yang Yi has ten guards with him except Xiao Yi, and they are wearing civilian clothes, Yang Yi thinks. If you want to see the real situation, you can't let the magistrate know what he's doing in advance. Unless necessary, he will use the form of "micro-service private interview" all the way.

Yongqiu County is crossed by the Bianhe River. With convenient waterways, it is one of the prefectures and counties where the West Indian Ocean Trading Company focuses on promoting cotton cultivation, and large ginning, spinning and weaving factories are built outside the county.

These large factories were built on the side of a tributary not far from the north bank of the Bianhe River, and there was a small wharf with a dozen or so ships docked by the wharf, and hundreds of laborers were busy loading cloth on them;

Yang Yi found that a prosperous town has been formed here, with various factories and warehouses, supporting staff dormitories, fire prevention facilities, etc., covering an area of thousands of acres;

In addition, the people in the vicinity or the businesses in the county also saw the business opportunities. There are many restaurants, tea houses, and daily shops around the factory, and there are also green buildings, but there are relatively few;

Because of the original, the number of female workers in the factory accounts for seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent of male workers because the factory does not prohibit men and women from "free love".

The person in charge of the landlord received the report that Yang Yi had arrived, and hurriedly greeted him. From afar, he bowed and said: "The villain Zhang Jiehe has seen Mrs. Yang." ”

"Manager Zhang doesn't have to be polite, the official just passed by and came in to see the operation of the factory. You take me in and have a look, you don't have to alarm others. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Yang, please!" The name of the person. The shadow of the tree, although Yang Yi behaved very easy-going. But Zhang Jiehe was still sincerely afraid in front of him.

As the group walked inside, Zhang Jiehe introduced, "Master Taifu." Our Yongqiu factory covers a total area of 1,100 acres, from north to south are raw material warehouses, cotton ginning mills, spinning mills, Chenghong, sizing mills, weaving mills, printing and dyeing workshops, etc., the closest to the Bianhe wharf is the finished product warehouse, in short, from the cotton in, to the finished cloth out, all the processes we have here are complete. Mrs. Yang, please get in the car, and the villain will take you around. ”

Because the factory area is too large, it is really difficult to walk on two feet, so Zhang Jiehe ordered someone to prepare a carriage. After Yang Yi asked Qing Niang to have Adella in the car, he rode a horse and walked to the factory accompanied by Zhang Jiehe.

To weave a piece of cloth, it actually has to go through many processes, including ginning, stretching, rubbing, spinning, red, sizing, drawing, drawing, threading, threading, shaking, weaving, and dyeing and pressing the woven cloth.

There are also many workshops in the factory area, all of which are blue brick and tile houses, and there are thirty or forty meters wide open space between each plant, in case of a fire, these open spaces can be used as isolation belts, and there are wide pools in the middle of the open spaces, which are filled with water;

There are even some water towers that are taller than the house, and once a fire breaks out, they can take over the sprinkler, which shows that in the fire prevention one, the factory was really put into the construction.

Zhang Jiehe kept introducing Yang Yi: "At present, there are more than 4,400 laborers in our Yongqiu factory, most of whom are from Nanyang, Dali, Japan, Goryeo and other places, and only 1,400 people from Yongqiu County and nearby villages. ”

Yang Yi nodded and asked, "How much cloth can the Yongqiu factory produce in a day?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Yang, the current daily output of cotton cloth is about 10,000 horses."

Yang Yi calculated carefully, and was barely satisfied with the production capacity of the factory, it turned out that ordinary farmers, even the most skillful women, could only weave one piece of cloth a day at most, and just weaving, if the processes such as ginning, rubbing, and spinning were counted together, it would take six or seven days for a person to weave a piece of cloth.

Now there are more than 4,000 people in the Yongqiu factory, and the daily output of cloth is 10,000 horses, which is quickly equivalent to more than ten times that of ordinary farmers. However, Yang Yi is still not satisfied with this speed, and it seems that there are still many things that need to be improved in the production process.

Zhang Jiehe first took Yang Yi into the weaving workshop, in the huge factory, there was a crackling loom sounding together, and women sat in front of the loom, pedaling with their feet and throwing shuttles with their hands, a busy scene
