For a while, all the Taoist leaders sighed.

Daoist Xuanji couldn't help but sigh: "A lot of things have happened this year, and Daolin's personality has also quietly changed, although he is still respectful to us people, and he has always strongly supported Ziyangguan, but he has made greater achievements in the army, his prestige is getting higher and higher, and he has invested more and more energy......

"At the beginning of July, Dao Lin suddenly intervened in the distant Yingzhou Island, and did not hesitate to sign a secret agreement with the Franc machine people at the risk of killing his head, and then invested huge manpower and material resources, and sprinkled millions of taels of silver to occupy the northern part of Yingzhou Island as he wished, and gradually encroached on other territories through a steady stream of immigrants, and now he is in full swing to prepare to go north to fight."

"It can be seen that Dao Lin is no longer willing to continue to stay in the comfortable Jiangnan and has begun to participate in the world's disputes!"

Only then did everyone realize that things were much worse than they expected, and they couldn't help but think deeply in shock.

Seeing that no one spoke anymore, the upright Xuanfang Daoist said loudly: "If the judgment of the second senior brother is correct, there are only two ways in front of us now, one is to maintain the status quo and go with the flow, and the other is to make up our minds to reform the old and make the new, there is no third way to go!" ”

"Oh? Can you tell us what you think? ”

Daoist Xuanqing looked at his fifth junior brother with blazing eyes.

Daoist Xuanfang truthfully said what he felt in his heart: "I agree with the second senior brother's opinion, Dao Lin will definitely not be satisfied with the achievements made so far, from the huge investment in Longtan New District and Bagua Continent, it can be seen that Dao Lin's heart is very high. ”

"I heard from Zhao Xunting, the general manager, that after half a year, all the workshops in Hushan Manor will be moved, leaving only the shipbuilding workshop and the newly completed printing plant in the south, freeing up land for the construction of residential areas, colleges and research institutes."

"Starting from January next year, the Francophone fleet will no longer come to Shangyuan Port, and all maritime trade will be carried out in Baoshan Port and Yingzhou Tamsui Port at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Tiangong Commerce and Trade has built a transit warehouse covering an area of more than 50 acres in Baoshan Port. At present, all kinds of finely carved stones are being ordered from all over the river, and an unprecedented five-story building is being built in Baoshan! ”

It can be seen that Daolin has extended his power outward, and once the Baoshan Port is completed, the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River will be firmly controlled by him, and when the time comes, he will choose whether he goes north or south. Our place, and even the entire Jinling City, is no longer the only choice for him, if we don't make changes, I'm afraid we will really be abandoned by him! ”

Xuan Fang's words shocked everyone and made everyone panic, although no one echoed it, but everyone knew that Xuan Fang's words were right!

If you don't make changes as soon as possible and don't take the initiative to keep up with Zhu Daolin's steps, you are likely to be ruthlessly abandoned by Zhu Daolin. Even if Zhu Daolin does not break away from the Shangqing faction and does not do anything that insults the Shangqing faction, the Shangqing faction that loses Zhu Daolin's support will inevitably decline from then on, and Zhu Daolin will inevitably support another force to replace the position of the Shangqing faction.

Daoist Xuan Qing and the others finally saw the potential deep crisis, and repeatedly weighed the pros and cons. Finally made a wise choice and agreed:

The abbot Dao Chang Xuanqing immediately rushed to the Maoshan Ancestral Garden. Report the situation to the head of the sect truthfully, and ask the head of the sect and the ancestral court of Maoshan to allow Ziyang Guan to carry out all-round improvement and innovation, and allow Ziyang Guan to revise the rules and teachings of the Shangqing School of Medicine that have been inherited for thousands of years and contain a strong view of the portal!

In order to achieve the purpose of "reforming the old and revitalizing the medical Tao", and in order to gain greater autonomy, Xuanqing Daoist proposed that the last "last resort." can only break away from Maoshan and fight against the independent sect", but I didn't expect it to be unanimously agreed by everyone, including Daoist Xuantao and the other two deacons stationed in the ancestral court.

Daoist Xuanqing was in high spirits, and at the same time, he sighed with emotion, and said in a loud voice that if he knew that everyone thought so, he would not have made this embarrassing situation today!

######

Two o'clock in the morning.

Zhu Daolin returned to the bedroom in the main courtyard of Hushan. Signaling the maid who hurriedly came up in a cotton jacket to go back to sleep, after washing, carefully checked the two charcoal stoves and ventilation in the room, and then got into the quilt with confidence.

Xiaoying, who had already woken up, slowly got into Zhu Daolin's arms, hugged his strong neck and asked in a low voice, "Did the husband receive the goods?" ”

Zhu Daolin hugged the charming Xiaoying and kissed it warmly: "I received it, tens of thousands of boxes of various porcelain, 200,000 silk brocades and more than 4,000 boxes of tea have been put into storage, as well as 480 tons of copper and other goods needed by the Franc machine, and there is no need to worry about maritime trade before the end of the year." ”

"It's just...... The cotton clothes, cotton pants, knives, guns and armor needed by the army have not yet arrived, and I am afraid that they will have to go out twice this month. ”

Xiaoying stroked Zhu Daolin's cleanly shaved face: "Husband, the concubine and Ruyan want to set up a small workshop for sewing robes, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhu Daolin was slightly taken aback.

The textile workshop in Zizhuyuan in the city has a garment workshop, using more than 180 sewing machines to make a variety of ready-to-wear garments that have caused a sensation in the north and south of the country.

The five masters specially selected by the mechanical group of the research institute have been carrying out the research and imitation of sewing machines, and have solved 70% of the parts manufacturing technology, and are tackling key problems in high-precision gums and linkage parts, and it is estimated that all technical problems can be solved within two years, and on this basis, large-scale industrial sewing machines for processing leather and canvas are produced.

In order to save time, Zhu Daolin could only continue to buy sewing machines to expand production to meet needs.

In the past two months, Lu Jianmin has purchased 5,000 "Flying Man" sewing machines and 300 foot-operated seam and buttonhole machines for him.

In order to prevent the parts from being damaged and unable to be copied and replaced in time, Zhu Daolin specially instructed Lu Jianmin to purchase a large number of spare parts and various types of sewing needles, the number of which is enough to 2,000 boxes, enough to be used for more than 10 years.

The world is now in the coldest period of the Xiaoice Age.

In the next ten years, there will be a large area of drought, locust plague and flood in the northern region of Daming and even the provinces of the Yangtze River Basin, and the climate will gradually warm up after 30 years of hard work.

The dyeing, weaving and quilt processing industry is not technically demanding, but it is of great significance and lucrative.

Prior to this, Zhu Daolin had already made a decision to elevate this big industry to a strategic height to operate, and it must be firmly in his own hands, and the hundreds of thousands of sets of quilts consumed by the army under his command every year are a major event, almost as important as weapons and equipment.
