Chapter 270: Ordos Warms the World
Yang reform was helpless to Liulizhai on the purchase of wool is not forceful, decided to find a familiar Mongolia, there is a way to replace the person, accidentally heard that his father-in-law Tian Hongyu was actually a Shaanxi businessman, and is a successful businessman, and he germinated the idea of letting his father-in-law try, and there was a matter of summoning Tian Hongyu.
When asked about the situation in Mongolia, Tian Hongyu did not disappoint Yang Reform, Tian Hongyu knows Mongolia very well, and there are only a few things on the grassland that can be handled, and those who have done business with the Mongolians are difficult to understand.
"Your Majesty, the minister remembered that there is indeed such a kind of wool, the wool made of this wool is not only shiny and bright, but also extremely soft, it is very exquisite, and extremely warm and sweat-absorbent, it is a rare good thing on the grassland, but this kind of thing is not easy to make, the output is limited, and the price is extremely high......" When Tian Hongyu talked about that kind of wool, it seemed that he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Tell me, where is this wool grown?" Yang reform came to be interested, the kind of thing that he had been looking for that could be used for sheep to eat people, finally appeared, if Mongolia only has the kind of rough, can not be woven into cloth wool, then their own sheep eat people, it is over, you have to wait until the import of suitable sheep from foreign countries, you can start sheep to eat people, then the cost of controlling the Mongolians is large, the cost of controlling Mongolia, will become their own burden, and it is a heavy burden, and it has to be invested every year A huge burden, and it is also a burden that you can't lose, so, Yang was anxious and anxious to find someone who was familiar with Mongolia and could quickly open the Mongolian market to replace Liulizhai. And this person, I didn't expect that it would be my father-in-law, Tian Guifei's father, which has to be said to be the will of God.
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the saying that 'the Yellow River is harmful, but the Hetao is rich'?" When Tian Hong met the emperor's eyebrows, he seemed to be extremely interested in this, and began to talk about the ancient times and pull the altar.
"The Loop? I've heard of it, plug it into Jiangnan. To be honest, Yang Gai is quite familiar with China's geography, and thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, he still has some impressions of the Hetao.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is exactly, the Yellow River is a 'several' word, this' A few 'word to live in the place, it is called the Hetao, here, in addition to the desert, is also a good place with abundant water and grass, the minister also did business in Ningxia Wei in the early years, in Ningxia Wei, I have seen someone sell this very exquisite wool, this wool, the color is very bright, it touches, it is very supple, and it is quite thin, but, the warmth is surprisingly good, the minister also exclaimed how there is such a thing in the world, it is really a good thing, but unfortunately, at that time, there was no extra money in the minister's hand, there was no way to buy some, otherwise, His Majesty would definitely be able to see this magical wool......" Tian Hong met the emperor and became interested in this, and began to brag about his knowledge.
"Focus, point, where is this thing made?" Yang Reform was not interested in listening to his father-in-law's bragging, so he urged Tian Hongyu to quickly say the location of the birth.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister also inquired about the production of this thing back then, it is said that this thing is mainly produced in the Hetao area of the Woer Dusi, in Ningxia Wei along the Yellow River, until the previous Dongshengwei of our dynasty, this kind of wool is produced, except for these places, the wool in other places in Mongolia is not good, the wool produced is really not good, except for making their own warm Ao Bao, it is basically useless......" Tian Hongyu pondered for a while, so explained.
Ningxia Wei, Yang Reform can roughly estimate where it is by listening to the name, doesn't it count Ningxia? Along the Yellow River down to Dongshengwei, they all produce the kind of things they have been looking for, doesn't that mean that the origin of this kind of wool is quite broad? Guaranteed yield? However, this Ningxia Wei is too far away, not conducive to their own control, the traffic is not convenient, and the profits will become thinner, it seems that they have to find a place as close to Yanjing as possible as a place for wool concentration, or in other words, the wool textile center, it is best to be in the wool production area, and you can process raw materials nearby,...... Down the Yellow River? Dong Shengwei? It should be closer to Yanjing, Yang Reform has never heard of this place, so he has to see where Dong Shengwei is immediately, and then said to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, bring the map immediately, I want to see where Dong Shengwei is?" "Yang can't wait.
"The slave and maid obey, and then send someone to fetch it." Wang Chengen immediately instructed the little eunuch to get the map to the emperor.
Yang Reform is reminiscing about Tian Hongyu's words, Wo'er Dusi, Wo'er Dusi, how can this name sound so familiar? Think about it again, if you look at the intelligence of Mongolia before, isn't there also an Ordos tribe? How similar is the sound of this name? This Ordos tribe is the Wo'er Dusi in Tian Hongyu's mouth? ......Yang Reform used to focus on the strategy of the north, and did not think of the relationship between Ordos and wool, and now the Woerdu Division and wool are linked together, Yang Reform suddenly woke up, what is that, isn't there an advertisement called "Ordos woolen sweater, warm the world"? Could it be that the Ordos tribes are now the ones who are in the future? Ordos who makes woolen sweaters? Yang Reform was very surprised! That is to say, the wool industry that I have been going to engage in now, sheep eat people, you can learn from the future Ordos...... Warming the world?
Yang is embarrassed by reform, this world is too small, and it is all repetitive things. What I want to do now is actually very successful in a few hundred years, and I just need to learn from it. According to the output of the Ordos woolen sweater in the future, Yang Gai suspects that one piece per person is not a problem, according to the population of the Ming Dynasty today, hundreds of millions of dollars is very easy, one piece per person is 100 million pieces, and he earns twenty or thirty yuan per piece of clothing, and he can't afford to make that fortune.
Yang Reform calculated a little, if a woolen sweater earns twenty copper plates by himself, then one person can earn two million taels of silver a year, Yang Reform is embarrassed, use these two million taels of silver to recruit the Mongolian Imperial Army, how many Imperial Allies do you have to recruit? You can control the whole of Mongolia with a single woolen sweater! Yang Reform was completely dizzy and stunned.
Tian Hong met the emperor in a daze, and he didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he could only accompany the emperor in a daze.
As soon as the window paper in Yang Gai's heart was pierced, all kinds of inspiration poured into his mind like a tide. This woolen sweater is really a weapon for cold protection, especially cashmere sweater, which has a better cold-proof effect than cotton, that is to say, the warmth is guaranteed, and the footprint of human activities can be pushed towards more northern regions, that is to say, the three eastern provinces, and even the Far East, can live in the Chinese, as soon as I think of this, Yang Reform's heart, I can't help but jump wildly, the Ming Dynasty is to the population problem to die, if the warmth technology has made great progress, then, the three eastern provinces will be the same as the Houhou, become the land of fish and rice...... Thinking of this, Yang Gai stood up violently, smashed his fist on the table, and with a "bang", the tea on the table was shaken, and the tea flowed out and rolled down to the carpet.
Tian Hongyu was taken aback, thinking that the emperor was angry, and then look at it, it doesn't look like it! If you're angry, you should be glaring at yourself! The emperor's gaze was obviously looking out of the house, and that gaze was called a deep, as if there was no bottomless abyss...... Tian Hongyu felt that his soul had been sucked into that abyss, and for the first time he felt the horror of the emperor.
Tian Yunmeng heard a loud noise in the room, thinking that the emperor and his father had broken down, and was about to intercede, but at first glance, the emperor didn't seem to be angry with his father, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, it was not good to step forward, so he retreated.
Just as the little eunuch came over with the map, Wang Chengen hurriedly took the opportunity to send the map to remind the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the map has been sent." ”
Yang Reform took a deep breath, the impact of this sheep eating people is too far-reaching, not only can sheep eat people, and gradually devour the Mongolians, but also as a labor-intensive enterprise, a large number of absorbing labor, become a major weapon to alleviate the population pressure at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but also can learn from that "Ordos, warm the world", with wool to control the whole Mongolia, to be precise, is to use the money earned from wool sweaters to control the Mongolian Imperial Army, with the Imperial Army to control Mongolia, if done well, two million a year income, It is enough to recruit all Mongolian adult men into their accounts, of course, in the early stage, they have to put money into it, and they have to vigorously support and promote ......, and the progress of warmth technology, the improvement of warmth means, the farming area of the Han nationality can be expanded from the south of the Great Wall to the three eastern provinces in the future, in order to alleviate the population pressure in the future to prepare enough land reserves, wild boar skin, is just a problem in their way, not the key to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the direct location, the fall of the Ming Dynasty, or the peril in the peasant rebellion, perished under their own internal pressure, if they can pocket the three eastern provinces, it can be said that the population pressure of the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, is not a problem...... "Your Majesty, the map,...... Your Majesty, the map is here......" Wang Chengen reminded the emperor again.
“…… Well, here comes the map? Look at ......" Yang Retracted his mind and gradually buried this shocking secret in his heart, this can only be the secret in his heart, the things he is planning now, and the impact of the time span is long, I am afraid that it will be longer than his own life...... A few little eunuchs spread out the map, because there was no place to hang it, so a few little eunuchs held one side and showed the entire map in front of the emperor.
"Big friend, look for it, Dong Shengwei is there." Yang Gengai remembered that Tian Hongyu said that from Ningxia Wei to Dongsheng, this kind of wool is produced.
"Obey, Your Majesty, the slave will look for ......" Wang Chengen first found Shaanxi, then found Ningxiawei, and then walked along the Yellow River, and soon, he found a place marked "Dongshengwei" in the northeast of the word "several".
"Your Majesty, here, here! ......" As soon as Wang Chengen saw Dong Shengwei, he immediately shouted, but as if he found something, he didn't shout anymore. Tian Hongyu looked like he wanted to say something, but he couldn't insert it.
"Here?" Yang Gengai glanced at it.
“…… Your Majesty, Dongshengwei should have been established in the early years of our dynasty, and now, I'm afraid it has moved inward, and this Dongshengwei is outside the side wall! ...... "Wang Chengen saw the clue from the map, and immediately became depressed, this Dongshengwei is marked outside the Great Wall, that is to say, there is no such Dongshengwei now, because the territory outside the Great Wall has been lost or moved inward, and the emperor has found a territory that is not under the control of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this scratching the emperor's face?
