81, Textile Industry
Now the most powerful Hu people in the northern desert are the Xianbei people, Xianbei has many tribal members, the Xianbei clan in the male Tan Shihuai will unify the Xianbei tribes (said to be unified, in fact, it is an alliance, and the Shang and Zhou dynasties of the Central Plains are about the same), in Gaoliu Beidanhan Mountain established a royal court, to the south to plunder the border of the Han Dynasty counties, the north to resist Ding Ling, the east to repel Fuyu, the west to attack Wusun, completely occupy the Xiongnu homeland, east and west up to more than 14,000 li, north and south up to more than 7,000 li.
At this time, Xianbei can be described as strong and extremely powerful. The Han Dynasty fought many wars with it, basically losing more and winning less, which is also an important reason why those weak and corrupt Confucians advocated a soft policy.
Tanshi Huai is a great hero of Xianbei, and various legends of him circulate in the desert and the land of Youyan, most of which are absurd and bizarre. There is a big market legend that Tanshi Huai is the son of the gods, according to legend, his father's name is Touluhou, with the tribe to follow the Xiongnu in the army for three years, after returning, the family has an additional child, or his wife gave birth. His wife said that one day she was walking during the day, and suddenly there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she couldn't help but look up, just when the hail landed, a piece fell into her mouth, and after she swallowed it, she became pregnant, and gave birth to this child, this child came from heaven, and must be the son of the gods, and he must be raised well. Touluhou believed her words, but he was afraid in his heart and wanted to throw him away. His wife privately informed her family to adopt her, and finally named her Tanshi Huai.
Bai Ziyun listened to this story and hehe, if this story is true, then that sandalwood locust is a wild species. However, the barbarian does not care much about his wild status, as long as he is a capable person, he can also be recognized by the tribe.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty was in the Xiaoice period, spring came a little later, but in February, it was still the season of a hundred flowers.
Now Zhuo County, grass and trees onion cage, birds and flowers, flowers and plants everywhere in the mountains, women do not like flowers, there are often groups of girls and young women in the mountains and fields to pick flowers, now the flowers are thrown to the street, wait until the white horse Yi is gone, the street is fragrant, fragrant everywhere.
Zhuo County, regardless of the family or Li Shou, is full of expectations for Baima Yicong. Although the ordinary people in Zhuoxian County are not rich, they are basically satisfied, at least they will not be hungry, so at this moment, everyone has a satisfied look on their faces, and they are quite proud. But Bai Ziyun looked at the crowd below, the common people were coarse and linen, cautious, the family was rich and strong, and they were arrogant and complacent, in Bai Ziyun's eyes, this class distinction was extremely dazzling, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy for a while.
Bai Ziyun seems to have invented a lot of things when he came to this world, but most of them are high-end luxury things, which has improved the quality of life of the family, but the common people are basically the same as before. To improve the quality of life of the common people, it is not possible to do it overnight, in this era of material scarcity, all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, the rich and powerful can live a prosperous and healthy life, because there are hundreds or even thousands of poor people or domestic slaves to serve them, and who can serve the common people? Only when the productivity of a social group is improved, and there is a surplus of products, can the common people have a prosperous life.
It is not easy to improve the quality of life of a large group, you can only take it slowly, Bai Ziyun thought of starting with the textile industry first. The textile industry is not high in technology and has quick results, which can increase a lot of employment, prosper the market, and promote the development of many related industries. The main thing is that wool can be used to weave, which can increase trade between the Han and Hu people, so that the Hu people can have more industry, and if the Hu people can support themselves on this, it can also reduce the strife between the Hu and the Han people.
At this time, the concubine Dongyue came over and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, all the wealthy businessmen have already arrived in the conference room. ”
The conference room is on the fourth floor of Baiyun Restaurant, which is usually vacant, and it is used for Bai Ziyun to meet guests, his Baijiazhuang is now a sacred place like a Taoist temple in the eyes of everyone, Bai Ziyun is not in Baijiazhuang when he talks about business now, and he is also disguised as another identity, so as not to tarnish the image in everyone's minds.
"Hmm." Bai Ziyun nodded, and walked into the conference room with Dongyue, there were many people in the conference room, and when they saw Bai Ziyun coming, they quickly stood up and arched their hands and said, "Meet the immortal master!" ”
Bai Ziyun now has the appearance of a middle-aged man, and these people don't recognize him as a long-term immortal. He arched his hand and said casually, "Feel free to sit down." My name is Bai Zihua, I am the elder of the commerce department of Xianmen for a long time, managing foreign trade and investment, you are all cloth textile merchants near Zhuo County, and I will ask you to come today to talk about textile matters in detail. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the White Immortal Master just commands." All the merchants said one after another, the status of the merchants was low, and they were flattered that a high-status respected immortal master was so polite to them.
Bai Ziyun said with a smile: "Then I said it below, all of us are famous cloth merchants in Youzhou, and there are weavers in the clan who are not small, or purchased in the township, and they want to produce a lot in a year, but after all, the manpower is limited. ”
"Boom!"
Immediately, everyone was in an uproar, and they only felt incredible, but remembering that the immortal things that Venerable had made in the past few months were all wonderful, and mortals could not reach them, they all quickly believed Bai Ziyun's words.
"Is the Elder selling these artifacts to us?" Someone said impatiently.
But more people looked at Bai Ziyun and waited for his next step, if it was just to sell this kind of "artifact", there was no need for an elder to come out in person, there must be other more important things.
Bai Ziyun saw that the success aroused everyone's interest, so he said: "This textile machine is naturally used to sell, but we will not sell it to outsiders, but will only sell it to our own family." ”
"Your own family?" Someone frowned.
"Of course, I'm not talking about my own family member, but we are not asking everyone to join the Changliu Xianmen, but we will establish a club with you, just like the construction club we established last year, in which members live freely, without restrictions, and have various shares."
Now that the construction club is famous, everyone knows it, and suddenly the nervous heart relaxes.
Someone said, "I'd like to hear about it." ”
Bai Ziyun nodded and continued: "This club is called the Textile Association, mainly to formulate the rules of the textile industry, standardize industry behavior, establish an industry self-discipline mechanism, safeguard the interests of the industry, implement supervision, and technology sharing, such as adjusting prices, investigating market ......numbers, etc., such as adjusting prices, investigating market numbers, etc."
Bai Ziyun said most of the content of the association of later generations, the most important emphasis is on supervision and standardization, the hydraulic textile machine has high efficiency, reducing dozens of times the manpower, the competition is naturally stronger than the ordinary textile machine, if the unrestricted large-scale production, I am afraid that it will make many textile families unemployed, although the late Han Dynasty bartered the self-sufficient economy, coupled with the underdeveloped transportation, its destructive power should not be enough to appear in the West that kind of "sheep eat people" enclosure movement, but for the sake of prudence, Bai Ziyun still does not dare to be careless, this is called prevention, Let's set the rules first. This is also the reason why Bai Ziyun needs to do this in person.
Most of what Bai Ziyun said, everyone seemed to understand it or not, and they felt that they were not at the same level as this immortal master at all, but the part that could be understood felt was wonderful, and it contained a lot of business knowledge, which made this group of people shout loudly in their hearts, and sure enough, the knowledge of the fairy world is not comparable to the mortal world.
Bai Ziyu had already prepared and distributed the books made of his ideas and the rules and regulations of the association to all the businessmen. Then there was some discussion and consultation, and the meeting lasted for three days before it ended, and the Changliu Textile Association was officially established.
