The Mawei military camp has always been jubilant these days, and when they return from the victory in the war, they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, who can not be happy. Also, this time, in addition to rewards, military fields will also be allocated to the soldiers. That's twenty acres per person, including military dependents. Of course, that would have to be if the military family was willing to emigrate to Luzon. Most of the soldiers who did not go to Luzon were reluctant to relocate, but nearly half of the soldiers who stayed on Luzon for a period of time were willing to move there. In their opinion, that place has become the territory of the prince, and hundreds of thousands of immigrants have passed, and it is nothing to move there by themselves, plus the land over there is fertile and the area is enough, it is really a temptation!

On the side of the starting point town, Geng Jingzhong constantly checked the situation of the post office under the leadership of Geng Da, and by the way, proposed his own construction to facilitate the improvement of the post office. In my spare time, I went to the artillery workshop to keep an eye on the progress of artillery improvements, and I was also very busy. At the same time, Geng Er, who stayed in Yuegang, was busier than them, and the task assigned to him by Geng Jingzhong was relatively arduous, and it was not easy to integrate the textile industry in Fujian.

Now, whether in the Moon Port or in the Houyu Port, the export of silk and silk has become the main economic pillar and lifeblood of the two ports, and Geng Jingzhong has always pursued the principle of "hiding wealth from the people", thinking that as long as the people are rich, they will naturally follow your footsteps. Therefore, in addition to engaging in farming, the people of Fujian have been called on to engage in industrial production, that is, the female dependents of every household should increase their efforts to raise and learn silkworm spinning in the Jiangnan region. Fujian is already mountainous, and it is also a good choice to plant mulberry trees, and all raw materials cannot be imported from the south of the Yangtze River. Fujian's foreign export trade is in full swing. It also promotes the development of the textile industry.

In fact, it was built from the Monkey Island Port. Many textile workshops of different sizes and scales have slowly emerged in various parts of Fujian. In the last year, after the opening of the Wa market, the number of textile workshops has increased almost exponentially every month. However, the silk cloth they produced has not been purchased at the same price, and the development of the road has varied from place to place.

Fujian's population is not small, but there is basically not much to do, and relying on the mountains does not make enough money to support the family. There are not too many housewives who have been engaged in sericulture and weaving, but after seeing the profits obtained from sericulture and weaving, many people responded. Farming when busy, raising silkworms and weaving in leisure time. This brings a stable life to the common people at the same time. It also gives them great rewards.

Now Geng Er has established the Yuegang Weaving Bureau in accordance with Geng Jingzhong's intentions, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Jingnan Palace. The storage of the Yuegang Weaving Bureau is to ensure the interests of the people, and at the same time to maintain the normal development of the textile industry. For the common people, this is a kind of guarantee, and the common people obviously approve and support this kind of guarantee policy by 120%, because it gives them a fixed income, which is equivalent to an iron rice bowl.

Although the Yuegang Weaving Bureau was only established for three months, it brought great labor enthusiasm to the people of Fujian and led to the rapid growth of the weaving industry. The development of these three months has exceeded that of the previous six months. And so on. In less than two years, Fujian's textile industry is no less than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Nowadays, the variety of silk fabrics here is becoming more and more complete. The colors are becoming more and more diverse. Not only yarn, silk, silk, Luo, silk, satin, brocade, Qi, velvet and other silk fabrics are available, but also there are many different varieties of colors in each category.

Although there are all kinds of silk and satin in various places, the Yuegang Weaving Bureau is also responsible for hiring senior craftsmen and embroiderers from other places to come back to teach weavers from all over the country to learn, and set up exchange offices one by one, and soon learned the skills and completed the imitation. Although there is still a gap in technology, this gap is constantly narrowing. For example, Luo, there are Hua Luo, Su Luo, Dao Luo, Hexi Luo, Qiu Luo, etc., Quanzhou Weaver Girl weaves hard Luo, soft Luo, etc., of which Hua Luo is up to 60 kinds. There is also silk, including thread silk, cotton silk, silk, Du woven silk, silk machine silk, crepe silk, pattern silk, spring silk, and silk.

Originally, Jiaxing's plain silk, flower silk, silk and silk, light light wangdian silk, Pu silk, Jianchang has cage silk, fake silk, Huzhou has water silk, imitation silk, etc., yarn, Huzhou has straight yarn, flower yarn, sandwich yarn, Baotou yarn, etc., Quanzhou has plain yarn, flower yarn, money yarn, etc., after the exchange of skills in various places, while imitating, innovation is also continuous, generating a lot of new varieties, and the fancy is getting better and better. For example, there are many names such as the newly created double-sided velvet in velvet, the velvet velvet with a rich appearance and a firm and wear-resistant texture, the silk with twill flowers on the twill, and the brocade with gorgeous and exquisite multi-structure. This is only the result of three months, and it is really hard to imagine waiting for another year and a half.

In Fujian, overseas trade has become more and more prosperous, and more and more Western merchants have come to Fujian. Qi that was popular in the Tang and Song dynasties was originally in decline in the Ming Dynasty due to the increase in woven gold brocade, colored brocade and printed fabrics. As a person with the vision of later generations, Geng Jingzhong certainly knows that the profit margin of export primary products is very low. Raw silk and silk were exported abroad in the form of raw materials and cloth, and when they arrived, foreign merchants sold them at high prices as clothes, making huge profits.

However, because Geng Jingzhong is not able to take care of the overseas market at this moment, he just told Geng Er about the plan, and then began to implement it when the time is ripe. At the same time, the Yuegang Weaving Bureau can call on textile workshops to carry out deep processing of products. One is to conduct market research in Western countries to see how foreigners like to dress themselves. Then take back the sample and make it yourself. Second, vigorously promote Hanfu, so that foreigners will wear Hanfu as a fashion, and then there will be no worries about sales. It's like the invasion of Western culture in later generations, and the whole world wears suits. In this way, this era itself can also make the whole world wear Hanfu!

At that time, this thing was successful, and the exported silk fabrics changed from the initial export of raw materials to the export of finished products, and the price and profit margin more than doubled. Now that capitalism is flourishing all over the world, the Netherlands and Britain have exploded the bourgeois revolution, and Geng Jingzhong's goal is to put China on the stage of capitalist empire. The Industrial Revolution had to move forward, and now is the best time to do it yourself. Naturally, it was an industrialized reform of the weaving industry. This is the easiest. It is also the most straightforward.

The industrial revolution is reflected in the use of machines, so Geng Jingzhong asked Geng Er to reform the textile machines in the textile industry. A silver dollar is offered to reward those who improve their textile tools. As long as there is a small step of progress, all give heavy rewards, there will be brave men under the heavy rewards, in the past few months, the textile machine has had several small changes, and the efficiency has really improved. There is a class of people in the textile industry. They made a living by inventing textile wheels. For this type of person. Geng Jingzhong asked Geng Er to organize these people to develop and improve textile machines.

These people are not dry food, and under the lure of money, they bring great impetus to the textile industry. In the past, Jiangnan textile workers changed the talk of the pedal rope car, which added thread to the rope car by hand. Pedal with your foot and turn the silk shoes. This kind of rope car is the rope tool common in Jiangnan at that time, which is more advanced than the previous hand-cranked car and the "Shu silk car" of the two people, and the labor productivity is also higher. If the head of the silk is only taken twenty taels. With its seedling length, it is also "about the silk adjustment, imitation weft, and warping after the rope silk." The tools and operation methods used in each process such as pulp warp are more advanced

"Lord Wang, Mr. Yao sent someone to report that Mr. Miao, who was in charge of going to Yunnan to trade war horses with Wu Sangui, is back!"

"Hehe, this thing has all come together, it seems that I have to hurry up and make a trip to Fuzhou!" Geng Jingzhong said with a smile. "Do you know how many horses are traded?"

"It is said to be five thousand!" Gu Ping reported.

"Just five thousand?!" Geng Jingzhong was not satisfied with this number, according to his thoughts, there were no 10,000 horses, then it would have to be 8,000 horses, and Yunnan was not unable to get it, a cavalry had to be matched with at least two horses, and the Mongolian cavalry was still equipped with three horses! How much cavalry is enough to build? It seems that Wu Sangui's road will not work, and he will have to take the road overseas!

Since the Central Plains is affected by the Xiaoice climate, the climate in the far north is unusually cold, and there are only a few warm hours a year, making it difficult for nomadic herders to survive. Therefore, most of the Mongol and Jurchen tribes in the far north moved to the north of the Great Wall, which was the main reason why the nomads repeatedly went south to knock on the pass in the late Ming and Ming dynasties.

The former Ming court lacked war horses, and the border army was also able to handle the Guanning iron horse, although there were reasons for corruption, but the lack of horses was a fact. The lack of war horses not only affected the army cavalry, in the era when there were no cars, no matter what was transported, it depended on horsepower, even Geng Jingzhong's horsetail army wanted to use cannons, which also needed horses to pull it. And the three-way war is just around the corner, and the army is bound to expand. The biggest problem with the expansion of the army is the problem of land supply. Unlike the navy, the navy expands easily because the ease of sea transportation makes it less logistically stressful. A single supply ship basically solves the problem of many warships, but the logistical pressure of land transportation is enormous, so the Marine Army also urgently needs to solve this problem.

"Lord Wang, Mr. Miao also reported that these military horses are basically all stallions, there are almost no mares, and Wu Sangui doesn't even give us the opportunity to breed them ourselves. This is also in their territory, otherwise Wu Sangui would not be fooled. Mr. Miao asked for punishment! Gu Ping said another sentence next to him!

When Geng Jingzhong heard this, he immediately became angry. "Bastard, Wu Sangui'an dares to bully me like this!" But after a little thought, didn't he deceive him the same, and the artillery he was given was of inferior quality, and if he fired about 200 shells, the barrel would be scrapped.

Wu Sangui did this obviously to prevent Geng Jingzhong from breeding war horses. There are only a few mares to breed, and the progress of this breeding is very slow. A horse only gives birth to one horse a year, which is quite slow. But the whole army needs more than a thousand horses for expansion! Tens of thousands of high-quality war horses were needed, so it was obviously not enough to meet the demand. To this end, Geng Jingzhong needed to introduce a large number of horse breeds and establish a good military horse farm.

It seems that the line in Yunnan can be broken, and ordinary war horses in China are generally low in stature, and their endurance is not enough to support the high-speed maneuver of cavalry and cavalry artillery. Then the introduction of high-headed Malaysia from the West is a necessary choice. The war horses of the West are divided into light and heavy cavalry, even if it is only the war horse of the light cavalry, if it is introduced to the East to breed, then it can undertake the task of heavy cavalry in the East, because the Oriental people are generally thin and weak, and they can basically reach the weight of the Western light cavalry after wearing armor. Once equipped, the heavy cavalry in the east can reach the light cavalry company in the west, and if the horses used by the heavy cavalry in the west are larger, the advantage will be more obvious.

Geng Jingzhong thought of the war horses of the Dutch, after the Dutch were driven away by Zheng Jing, there were thousands of war horses left in the fortress of Gerancha in Taiwan, which belonged to Wen Xuema. The origin of the Dutch warmblood comes from two native breeds of the Netherlands, the Gelderland horse and the Groningen horse. In fact, it has a lot to do with the local soil, which is located in the middle of the Netherlands, where the soil is sandy, and the horses developed are relatively light. Gro-Ningen, on the other hand, is a hard clay soil, and the horses that grow up are heavier. However, the genes of the two breeds are compatible, so breeders often add the Gro-Ningen bloodline to the Gelderland pedigree to increase the weight of the Gelderland and vice versa.

Both breeds, the Gelderland and the Groningen horse, have been around the Netherlands and its neighbouring regions since the Middle Ages. The Gelderland horse is blooded by the Andalusian horse, the Italian Neapolitan horse, the Yanman horse, the German Oldenburg horse, the British Anglo-Norman horse and thoroughbreds. The Groningen horse, on the other hand, is a cross between the Danish Fries and the German Setengburg horse. Since ancient times, farmers in the Netherlands have lived on horses. A rigorous approach to breeding horses was established very early on. Disadvantages of health and character in uneliminated breeds, as well as horses with insufficient intelligence. This rigorous selection has led to the creation of today's Dutch warmbloods. As the Netherlands began a half-century-long war of independence, the Dutch Army faced the threat of the Spanish Army, the hegemon of Europe. This led to the use of horses for riding and fighting, and the Dutch once again succeeded in demonstrating their breeding skills.

The Hellerland and Groningen breeds have some exciting characteristics in common, such as gorgeous movements, good basic construction, graceful quality, the ability to grow steadily, and a gentle and cooperative temperament. The Dutch introduced the English thoroughbred to increase its courage and improve its flaws, such as an excessively long back, a neck that was too short, and forelimbs that were too short and too weak. The rather light movements are also brought about by thoroughbreds, and in order to remove the unruly traits that come with thoroughbreds, not only other Dutch bloodlines were introduced, but also French Serrafrençe and Holstein bloodlines were introduced to improve the final breed.

The Dutch left in Taiwan were all war horses. Half of the horses were mounted horses, which belonged to the category of European light cavalry, and were equipped with Dutch musketeers to form lancers. Half of the horses belong to the aid horses. It was mainly used to carry goods and pull artillery. The Dutch war horse is the second most popular war horse in Europe after the Spanish war horse, in order to invade the world. Dutch horse farms are also spread all over the world. The horse farm in the Far East is in Batavia, with about 10,000 horses, but Geng Jingzhong now seems to be able to get their horses from the Dutch.

"Uncle Gu, I'm going to send someone to Batavia to find the Dutch to trade war horses, let's pay a big price!" Geng Jingzhong said.

What Geng Jingzhong didn't know at this moment was that there were more than 5,000 cavalry horses captured in the Battle of the Philippines. This belongs to the Spanish war horse, but it is still not enough. Unfortunately, with the withdrawal of the Dutch from the Chinese trade chain, the British East India Company was eager to open up the Ming maritime trade, and must have been happy to make a move
