Father Qi and his daughter and son-in-law had a meal happily, and after they were full of wine and food, Qi Ying said to Father Qi mysteriously: "Dad, this time Lord Zhang reformed the workshop and introduced a large number of machinery from the West. I wonder if my father is interested in this? ”

Daddy Qi has been fighting all his life and has always lived at the bottom of society, but recently Master Zhang suddenly began to improve the treatment of workers, which really made Daddy Qi refreshed. Now that his daughter is also saying this, it suddenly makes Father Qi feel a sense of pride - it is joy from the heart.

Mu, who has always been taciturn, also came over at this time and whispered: "Dad, I heard from Gao Dudu, Lord Zhang has to pay close attention to internal affairs now, and the Tuanshan Army has no battle to fight recently!" And Dad, you also know that the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army are not the private soldiers of the generals, don't look at my official position now, if I don't fight, I will retire in the future. Yingzi and I have been thinking about it for a long time, maybe our family will count on you in the future! ”

In the system of the Tuanshan Army, Zhang Li attaches great importance to the structural construction of the army, and will never allow the emergence of military generals who support the army and respect themselves. All generals have a complete set of rewards and punishments, and if there is anything out of the ordinary, they will soon be invited to tea by the Judge Advocate General.

For example, after the bitter lesson of the five dynasties and ten national military generals who supported the army and respected themselves, Song Taizu and Song Taizong set the rule that "soldiers do not know generals, and generals do not know soldiers" - this greatly restricted the generals, but also led to the Northern Song Dynasty's war with the Liao State and the Western Xia Dynasty completely disadvantaged.

Zhang Zhang did not copy Zhao Kuangyin's set, but the supervision system in the army was relatively developed, and many things were made public. There is less possibility of black-box operation. This is somewhat similar to the army building in later generations, where the commander of an army is easily not changed. But there is a strong system of oversight to check and balance them.

So don't look at the wooden official title is quite big, in fact, when he is in command of the battle. There are hardly too many privileges in normal times. However, this time, Mr. Zhang seems to have made up his mind to create a group of "privileged classes", and that is the workers.

All the territories under the influence of Lord Zhang, all kinds of preferential policies, are only open to one kind of people, that is, workers who have contributed to the improvement of machinery.

There was a hint of eagerness in Wood's eyes: "Dad, can you improve the machine tool bought by the West?" ”

Father Qi is, to put it bluntly, a blacksmith. It's okay to strike iron with a sledgehammer, but where can you understand so many machines. But now that the arrow has to be sent, he doesn't want to be looked down upon by his son-in-law, so he stubbornly said: "Well, I'm not familiar with those things, but Lord Song often talks about 'touching bypasses', I will go back and study it carefully, and I may not be able to make a name for myself in the future." ”

As soon as Mu heard this, his attitude became more cordial. grinned: "I'll just tell them about the pimple, my father-in-law has been a craftsman for decades...... Hey hey"

This night, the three of them chatted very speculatively, and Daddy Qi finally felt dignified. No longer have to whisper in front of your son-in-law......

More than two months have passed, and on June 12, the seventh year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, this is destined to be a day that will go down in history.

It was not the day of the outbreak of a major war. However, under the leadership of Zhang Li, all the civilian officials of the entire Liaodong regimental mountain army system came to the Ningyuan Central Right Station guarded by Pan Batian.

In the two years from the fifth year of Chongzhen to the seventh year of Chongzhen. There is only one material in Tuanshan Fort's foreign trade, and that is the pill developed by Zhang Li.

Not long since. These pills brought Tuanshan Fort hundreds of thousands of taels of silver income every month, but all this changed a little in the seventh year of Chongzhen.

I have to admit that the Chinese people have always had the tradition of "cottages", and the pills of tension are not a panacea, and some large commercial houses in the south, such as Hui merchants, also spent huge sums of money to find pharmacies to make pills, and directly dumped them from Fujian, Zhejiang and other places, stealing more than half of the business of Tuanshanbao.

Fortunately, now the latest fist product of Tuanshan Fort has finally been mass-produced, but this time, it is beyond the reach of others!

The first industrial revolution in history began with the Jenny loom. The structure of Jenny's loom is not complicated, and Zhang Zhang drew a sketch at a very early stage and handed it over to Song Yingxing and others for research and development.

After more than a year of mass manufacturing, the entire Liaodong Tuanshan Army has now widely used Jenny looms to start weaving. After satisfying the needs of the Tuanshan Fort forces themselves, the first batch of one million cotton cloths in the warehouse will be shipped today and exported to the Wa Kingdom!

Due to the use of Jenny loom weaving, the cost of producing cloth has dropped significantly, and the price of Tuanshan Fort export cloth is only 60% of the market price - this is the core competitiveness.

A group of civil officials came to the wharf of Ningyuan Zhongyou, and the fleet responsible for transporting and guarding export commodities this time was the Tuanshan Water Division, and the Tuanshan Army no longer had to rent the Zheng family's fleet.

While this is just the beginning, it's not trivial. Fang Yizhi, who was in charge of foreign trade affairs on the wharf, and Chen Zhengcao, the commander of the regimental landscape division who was in charge of the guard, came to greet Zhang Zhang together.

After a period of greetings, the other party said with wisdom: "Mizhi, this time the cloth is exported to the Japanese country, which has a great impact on us. Ever since the pill business shrunk, I've put all my treasure on the textile industry. Have you found a distributor in the country? ”

Fang Yizhi also knew that the matter was big, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "Lord Qiqi, this million pieces of cloth have been eaten by the merchants of the Satsuma Domain of the Wa Kingdom, and they are also very much looking forward to it when they hear that there is such a cheap commodity!" ”

Zhang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and three words popped out of his mouth faintly: "Satsuma Domain? ”

Fang Yizhi nodded and added, "The people who do business with my Ming Dynasty are basically merchants from the Satsuma Domain of the Wa Kingdom. ”

Zhang Zhang is also quite interested in Japan, to say that the Japanese people are also sad, a group of village heads, township heads, and county heads fight each other, and they can also be blown into the "Warring States...... However, this bragging is better than not bragging, at least whether it is books, TV dramas, or even the Japanese games "Nobunaga's Ambition" and "Taiko Rishiden" have a lot to do with the so-called "Japanese Warring States Period", so tension is not unfamiliar.

"Satsuma Domain? If I'm not mistaken, the lord of the domain is called the Shimazu clan, right? Zhang Li remembered that the Shimazu buddies of the Satsuma Domain were very violent, at least Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu had nothing to do with them, even if the Shimazu clan repeatedly stood in the wrong line, but there was no bullshit afterwards, and the monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu did not dare to cut their fiefdoms at all.

Fang Yizhi bowed slightly, with a look of admiration: "My lord is really knowledgeable, the lord of the Satsuma Domain is named Shimazu Tadashi. ”

Zhang Zhang nodded, but turned his head to look at Chen Zhengcao, and said lightly: "The Japanese are the most bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and the Mi Emperor beat them all over the ground to find teeth, and afterwards they were like fathers-well, it's far away...... Although we are doing business and paying attention to harmony and making money, we also have to show off our muscles. This time, all the warships sailed to the Wa Kingdom, so that the group of monkeys could see and understand, and we will take all the business of the Wa Kingdom in the future! (To be continued.) )
