How much labor is there in one mu of cotton, how much labor is in fifteen foil silkworms, but it is difficult to pick mulberry leaves, I don't know how many people are staring at it.

Settle accounts like this, and look at this big pile of snow white with concern. Song Jiu said honestly: "Your Majesty, everyone, this kind of yield is not normal, there is a seed adaptation time, at least ten years, and the seed can adapt to the northern weather." Once it is planted on a large scale, its price will inevitably fall, on par with that of kudzu. It can only be said that more people can wear warm clothes. ”

It may also cause the sericulture industry to shrink gradually.

Westerners are collectively called silk, later China is also called silk, the actual statement is not correct, it is really divided into silk, satin, silk, brocade, yarn, Luo, Qi, silk, 69, silk, silk, as well as deer fetus, through quilt, embroidery brocade, embroidery, carved silk, velvet back brocade and other more high-grade silk varieties, each kind of craft is different. But in the future, under the impact of cotton, many species will inevitably disappear.

This history is also like the history of Song Jiu to the Song Dynasty, at first I saw many kinds of hemp and arrowroot, which was similar to the Tang Dynasty, but in a few years of the Song Dynasty, more and more people planted mulberry and silkworms in Hebei and Shandong, and many kinds of linen nouns gradually disappeared.

Song Jiu said: "At least it can prove that it can be grown in the north, not in the south and in the north." ”

Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and looked into the distance, there were still large fields of crops in the distance, there were vegetables and winter wheat, Song Jiu only drove away the two families who were not greedy enough, or the land of the remaining households and gave it to other people, and did not move. Although the land is mine, you can continue to plant, but you will bear the taxes, and you will only be notified in advance when you need to, and you will not plant anything. It's just that a wall was built on the periphery, for fear that the surrounding people would come to occupy the land.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't see this. Xu Xu said: "I don't know how many crops and fruits and vegetables can be introduced outside the road. ”

"Your Majesty, this micro-minister can't know the way. But many of them can be introduced, and Zhang Qian's greatest contribution to the Western Regions was not to contact the countries of the Western Regions, but to bring back the seeds of many crops, fruits and vegetables. ”

"Can this loom weave cotton cloth?"

"No, maybe you can, but the skills are not something that female workers in the Central Plains can master. But it is still very backward, and when Weichen is free, it will gradually improve in the future. This time will be longer, and it will also require the support of His Majesty, and all over the country will invite weavers who are skilled in making looms. We work together to develop it. ”

"This is the quilt?"

"That's it, wait for Weichen to send a few beds to His Majesty," Song Jiu said this, and then looked at Liu Wensuo and said: "Jiangdong plough has appeared for more than 100 years, but half of the country still continues to use backward plows, and the promotion is not effective. This needs to be promoted by His Majesty in order to quickly benefit the people. Liu Zhongcheng, how many benefits there are have to be for His Majesty to understand first, not just a sycophancy. Do not impeach. ”

Liu Wensuo couldn't cry or laugh.

Song Jiu said again: "Everyone, let's look at this thing again. ”

Song Jiu took out a cotton coat.

Cotton clothing appeared very early, but it was real kapok, and the yield was small. Either silk heads, a few taels of a piece of clothing, cotton clothes. So when it comes to winter. Often, people freeze to death.

Its significance is not trivial. Tao Gu said: "Your Majesty has just sealed the Wulu Mountain, and it appears. Is this providential? ”

This refers to the mountains and rivers, the mountains and rivers, and the sea. According to the etiquette, it is also necessary to worship, the Tang Dynasty has the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has the rules of the Song Dynasty, it was originally four mountains, and there is a mountain Heng Mountain, which is in the territory of Khitan, and is sacrificed in Dingzhou. There are five towns again, Yishan in the east town of Yizhou, Jishan in the south town of Yuezhou, Wushan in the west town of Longzhou, Huoshan in the middle town of Jinzhou, there are several towns that are not in the Song realm, but if you want YY, you can't do it. Laizhou East Sea, Guangzhou South China Sea, West Sea refers to the sea in the west, that is too far, the river is blasphemy in Hezhongfu, Beihai is blasphemy in Mengzhou, Huaidu is in Tangzhou, Jiangdu is changed to Chengdu Mansion at the mouth of the Yangzi River, Beihai is the Bohai Sea and the sea to the north, several desecration is the Yellow River Jishui Huai River Yangtze River, and there is a town, Yiwu Lushan is in Yingzhou, set as the North Town, but it is not good to enjoy the sacrifice, that YY is too much, can take back the 16 states of Youyun, Zhao Kuangyin is estimated to be happy to roll, and talk about what Yingzhou.

Song Jiu gave him a blank look.

He looked down on Tao Gu very much, and when he hadn't made a career before, this old boy suppressed Song Jiu many times. Later, he gradually made his fortune, married Pan Li'er again, and began to say good things about Song Jiu. But Tao Gu made Qian Yu taunt him. Tao Gu has been in Hanlin for many years, and if he wants to be promoted, he told Zhao Kuangyin how hard he worked, Zhao Kuangyin said, Hanlin drafted documents, all of which were reading the old works of predecessors, as the saying goes, draw gourds like the same, what is the hard work? Later, he sent an envoy to Wu Yue, Qian Yu was kind and brought him pike crabs to entertain him, Tao Gu didn't understand, so Qian Yu took out more than a dozen kinds of crabs from big to small and listed them for him to see. People are kind-hearted, but Taogu Fox is a fake tiger and ridicules Qian Yu for being a crab is not as good as a crab. Qian Yu was annoyed, that is, your emperor was polite when he saw me, you are the one who is the one, and sent someone to arrange a gourd soup, saying, when the first king was alive, the cook was good at cooking gourds, and now it is made and presented. Tao Gu retreated in shame.

Song Jiu sneered: "Yiwu Lushan is in the northeast of my country, and it can't be Beizhen, if it is set up, then Wushan (Hangai Mountain) will be set up, and it will be mixed with the river." ”

Everyone laughed dumbly, a Taiyuan city gave everyone a headache, and what kind of doctor Wu Lushan was talking about.

Song Jiu said: "Your Majesty, there are still some cotton seeds left, which can be scattered in some saline-alkali land, sandy land, sloping land, and dry land near Gyeonggi for trial planting in the coming year. ”

One sentence and let everyone pay attention, there is another thing in everyone's mind, cold melon, now there are more people planting, and Kaifeng land is also suitable for planting watermelon, in the summer all over the street to sell watermelon, the price is also cheap, ten dollars can buy a big cold melon, everyone is very welcome to this change, first of all, it is sandy dry land, does not occupy an area, the people do not mention it, but the people will have some income, that is, Tao Gu also wants the people to live a good life, but it is just a good policy. Lu Yuqing couldn't help but say: "It's sand and dry land again? ”

"No, it also needs irrigation, but if it is cultivated properly, it will evolve into some drought-tolerant varieties, and the cultivation methods will be different, and it will be more densely planted, but once this variety appears, a lot of barren land will be used."

Song Jiu gave nine beds and six catties of quilts to Zhao Kuangyin. Hearing these two figures, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't cry or laugh. There are two numbers on the river bank that are taboo and one is six. One is nine. Is it necessary to be taboo, but to be so cautious?

Song Jiu had already prepared these quilts, and there were splendid quilt covers on the outside, and now it was cold, so I just used them, in fact, they were cotton, but the big guys were hot to see. Zhao Kuangyin looked left and right, not reluctant, he lived a very self-disciplined life. The key is not enough. So he gave Zhao Pu a bed, Zhao Kuangyi a bed, Zhao Kuangmei a bed, and Zhao Sanzhao Future, but sent the guards over, after all, they were brothers, and then looked at the rest of the people, and gave Xue Juzheng, Li Chongju, Shen Yilun, Lu Yuqing, Chu Zhaofu, and Liu Wensuo a bed each. Liu Wensuo was anxious: "Your Majesty, the old minister can't stand it." ”

Lu Yuqing said: "Your Majesty." Song Jiu is dedicated to you, why don't you keep it, leave the minister's bed to His Majesty. ”

"I have the four seas, why fight for a quilt."

Several ministers who got quilts wept bitterly.

Song Jiu was dizzy at this moment. Lao Zhao is not authentic in this matter, he is doing favors with his own things, and he will send them again. I can't make it up for it myself, and don't say anything else. The little lady of the Song family, the little queen made a move to Pan Li'er in the palace. I can't sleep on my own quilt.

Zhao Kuangyin left, followed by a few howling bigwigs.

Song Jiu sighed and said to a few female workers, "Grab the rest of the cotton together." ”

A total of only one hundred and seventy catties of lint, more than thirty beds, a few beds to leave in their own family, a few beds to leave in the two sisters' families, a few more beds in the Pan family, Zhu San to give at least one bed, and several other people in the family also want one bed for a family, where is there enough to divide.

You have to send it out immediately, otherwise you won't be able to get it, it's done, it's covered, it's used by yourself, I'm embarrassed to ask for it.

Song Jiu transferred to the glaze workshop again.

All the mirrors in the glazed workshop are being made, there is no impermeable wall in the world, Song Jiu does not have much money in his hand, but he took out 50,000 yuan and gave it to the cement workshop for testing. Now I come to make up a book again, this is not a small book, first-grade Chinese, this is Song Jiu's noun, because I have learned some policy theories, it is not very appropriate to use the scriptures, Song Jiu proposed language, related to the text, everyone has no objection, and does not say arithmetic, but mathematics, numerical knowledge, no one doubts, arithmetic to Song Jiu's hands, has been different from the previous arithmetic nature. These are two books, and the second grade adds nature, and three books. In the third grade, four abacus books were added, and in the fourth and fifth grades, the abacus was removed, and five books of accounting and Ming Law and Character were added. It is nineteen textbooks for beginners alone, and now they are more detailed, with a short number of hundreds of thousands of words and a long one of more than 300,000 words.

I don't know how much it will cost to engrave just the engraving.

Some of them have been written, and this year there are even more assistants, especially as many as nearly 180 second-year students, and more than 40 third-year students. If it weren't for the fact that the river island was too quiet, the writing speed would be faster. The task is still not light.

There are more textbooks in secondary schools, reaching 30 books, each with at least 300,000 words, and some with more than 400,000 words. In fact, it is not much, if it is according to the later generations, it is equivalent to two semesters. This task is also heavy, most of them are written by various literati, first let the students review and revise, and then Song Jiu will review and revise, and after the correction is completed, some officials will be asked to re-review. Not a single book has come out now. But the number of engravings printed in so many books alone is an astronomical number.

Song Jiu didn't mention the matter of dividends, they felt weird together, and finally thought of the mirror. A swarm of bees ordered mirrors together, and then sold them to Hangzhou Fanzi. It is estimated that there will be many people who are forced to take it back, and they will sell it for a sky-high price, maybe to the king and duke or something, with a large number of mirrors coming like cabbage, they can drop from a few thousand gold coins to a few gold coins in the blink of an eye, and those kings and dukes will be fooled, what will they do?

Hangzhou Fanzi estimated that it would be completely collapsed after a few months, so the steward of Quanzhou came back, and Song Jiu immediately asked him to bring a batch of mirrors over. Guangzhou's may be better, but the price in Quanzhou will collapse in half a year at most. Then the stewards and students of Guangzhou came back in a simple manner. They made the most profit this time, almost nearly 70,000 yuan, but there was an accident, they were selling, which attracted the attention of Liu Gang, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, and he sent someone to arrest Song Jiu's men, you can sell it, you must sell it to me first. He also sent people to interrogate, what other kinds were there, and the steward couldn't stand it, so he had to answer them one by one. I also gave money, but deducted two people, specified the number, and must bring these glass products to Guangzhou next year, otherwise I will cut them apart. This brutal faint king can really do it. In this regard, Song Jiu was out of reach, so he had to listen to his instructions, create all kinds of glazed products, and bring them to Guangzhou next year, and at the same time instructed the steward to sell them to him at a low price, and find another way to get people out, so he really couldn't give him glass for free. It was too dangerous for people to be held in his hands. Even if you don't put it to death, you may be able to castrate the eunuch.

Song Jiu's economic prosperity is the money obtained from the mirror.

Although it took longer in Guangzhou, the emperor made him uneasy, but Hangzhou could still make a fortune, and if Quanzhou acted quickly, he could make two or three strokes. Then it becomes Chinese cabbage.

The next day really came, originally Song Jiu was allowed to be visited by the people, it was a school house run by Hezhou, the villagers in the township, there were few teenagers who could go to school, Song Jiu was not very embarrassed. Nowadays, it is not so necessary, and there are many students, so if there is no urgency during the class time, outsiders are not allowed to enter. A sign was deliberately hung outside. So we waited for the internship class time together, the students had their own tasks, some went to Hezhou, and some continued the open-air education, which benefited the people in the river a lot, and now there are very few illiterate men under the age of 30, most of them know some words, can do a little arithmetic, or the difference between more and less. The overall quality of the people in the river is obviously improving. Nearly half of them remained, working on the textbook.

Many people poured in to ask for quilts, and Song Jiuyi spread his hands and said, "Where do I have it?" ”

But he had an idea. (To be continued......)
