"Miss, the wool threads collected in the past few days have become more and more, and the warehouses in Xicheng are about to be full."

Xiao Xia is now in charge of the purchase of wool, and after the inventory is put into storage today, he came to report to Lu Weimang.

Lu Weimang nodded, while busy with the things at hand, he nodded, signaled that he understood, and instructed Xiao Xia, "Then collect, tell those women, let them just continue spinning, we will buy it here all year round." ”

"Yes, Miss, I will let your words out and tell the women near Jincheng to know." And Miss, there are still a few unusual things that need to be reported to Miss today. ”

"What?"

Lu Weimang listened to Xiao Xia's solemnity, so he put down the work in his hand and looked up at Xiao Xia.

"Is there not enough cash? The branch of Qianhuitong in the city has already sent a letter to Kyoto, and a large amount of cash will arrive in the near future. ”

Xiao Xia shook his head, "There is still a lot of cash silver you gave, and it is not easy to spin wool into thread, so there is no large amount of cash consumption." ”

"The slave and maid are not talking about the silver, but about the wool. In the past, this wool was in the countryside, but it was a chicken rib, at most in the winter used to ignite a fire or boil oil, and now the wool can be spun into a thread for cash, so now the original inventory of wool in ten miles and eight towns is not much, the sheep are bald, and the new wool can not grow, so the villagers of the organic spirit have thought of a way to buy wool from afar, and now from the Jincheng caravans, it is known that not only near Jincheng, but also the wool over there in Zhangye, has also begun to rise. There are also businessmen from Tianshui Zhangye who came to inquire about the news and asked us if we continue to buy, they will help us bring wool thread next time they come. ”

Lu Weimang smiled, "There are people with a keen sense of smell everywhere." Xiao Xia, no matter who comes to inquire, no matter what kind of identity it is, as long as you ask about wool, you will give me a mouth, no matter how much, if you have it, you will accept it. ”

"Whoa!"

Xiao Xia ordered to go out of Lu Weimang's study to convey Miss's orders to the acquisition points all over Jincheng.

Lu Weimang won the first battle, and he was happy in his heart, Right now, good things are available, and the wharf is also under construction, and it will be completed in a few days. Everything is ready, only one attractive thing is needed, and it attracts merchants from all over the world.

The people of Yongzhou are hard, and the people are also self-sufficient, with no money in their hands, and no special commodities to take, so there are almost no big merchants to do business in Yongzhou, and this is a place abandoned by businessmen.

Nowadays, Yongzhou's wool is spun into thread, which can make good things comparable to silk, but this thing alone is not enough to make Yongzhou prosperous and lively, and more and more attractive things are needed to make merchants from all over the world take the initiative to come to Yongzhou like cats that smell fishy.

Thinking of this, Lu Weimang looked at the tools in her hand, and all her hopes were in the stone pot in her hand.

Jincheng is at the confluence of the two rivers, on the river beach outside the city, you can see clean river sand everywhere, Lu Weimang collected the river sand, plus the caustic limestone he collected, ready to make the necessary items for crossing, glass.

In order to make the glaze, Lu Weimang has been studying with the weapons master of the Huo family for a long time, and has also built a small furnace, and now it is the final step of melting.

"Ma'am, will you turn on the furnace now?"

A weapon master with burnt brown skin on his face and dealing with the fire all year round asked Lu Weimang on the side.

Although he didn't know why everyone else was smelting iron, and his wife was actually smelting sand, but Mrs. Chrysostom ordered that they would not be questioned by these generals, so even though there were thousands of doubts in his heart, he still did what his wife told him.

"Ignition and furnace!"

Lu Weimang commanded lightly.

The red fire burned, "At the end of the Shen period, you open the furnace and observe, if the sand melts, someone will come to me." ”

"Whoa!"

The family will be ordered.

Lu Weimang returned to the study and found Huo Jing, who was busier than her after coming to Yongzhou.

The two of them really don't have a happy life. Lu Weimang can't stand the poverty of Jincheng here, and he takes action to improve, Huo Jing is there, he is in Yongzhou, and he needs to face the Qiang people entrenched in the grassland all the time, he also trains troops every day, deploys defenses all day long, and the two of them are in the study, you check your information, I will arrange my defense line, and do not disturb each other.

But today, Lu Weimang had some worries in his heart and came to Huo Jing to ask.

"If I make a high multicolored glass roof, everyone who passes by Jincheng can see it glowing, will it cause trouble for you to defend the Qiang tribe?"

Lu Weimang found Huo Jing and asked straight to the point. She wants to make a living signboard and lead merchants from all walks of life to Yongzhou. But Yongzhou is bitterly cold, and there are no special products such as tea, silk, gems, and treasures that can attract merchants.

And the items that are not born and need to be made the day after tomorrow, Lu Weimang first thought of glass, which the ancients called glazed items.

First of all, the production of glazed Lu Weimang can be made of local materials, the Yellow River Basin, there is no side, clean sand can be found everywhere, as well as raw materials for molten sand, coal and wood, Yongzhou at this time is also very sufficient.

Under the premise of this innate advantage, the only thing Lu Weimang needs to worry about is whether the living signboard she created will bring additional pressure to Huo Jing's defense.

Seeing that Lu Weimang rarely came to find him, and he was still talking about official business, Huo Jing smiled bitterly and pulled the serious Lu Weimang into his arms, "You are erecting the Heavenly Palace in the Golden City, and I can also guard it for you." ”

Huo Jing's words were extremely domineering, and Lu Weimang was a little puzzled, "When people talk about the Qiang people, they are all afraid, why don't you pay attention to it?" ”

Huo Jing saw that Lu Weimang was suspicious, and took out his own defense map, "Look, your husband is in Jincheng, but he doesn't eat dry rice." In the last battle, do you know why the government and the opposition said that it was a rare victory? Because we opened the Yumen Pass and expelled the Qiang people to the south of Qilian Mountain, in this way, the territory of Yongzhou will be expanded, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the BMW there in Zhangye can also continuously improve the problem of insufficient horsepower in our dynasty. As long as we don't take the initiative to attack, there is a high probability that the Qiang people will not take the initiative to start a war. Unless there is a heavy snowstorm in winter, they will not be able to survive without looting, and they will risk their lives to start a war. Moreover, you said that it is better to build a five-colored glazed roof in the city to attract the attention of the Qiang people. I am in Jincheng, and if the Qiang people attack from the Yumen Pass, I will rush to the aid of the pass. If you can attract the Qiang people to Jincheng, it will also relieve the pressure on me to deploy defenses. ”

Listening to Huo Jing's words, Lu Weimang suddenly said, "As soon as you say this, I understand." Then you wait, in less than three months, I will be able to build a tall five-colored glass roof. It not only attracts the Qiang people, but also attracts merchants from all over the world to Yongzhou. At that time, as long as the flow of people is up, our Yongzhou will be able to become a new Qionglai pass! ”

As long as there are enough merchants coming, and Yongzhou is the northwest frontier of Daqian, and merchants from Daqian and the Western Regions can communicate with each other in Yongzhou, it will not be much different from the significance of the Qionglai Pass.

The conquest of the country-to-country view has little to do with the merchants. Merchants were profit-seeking, and as long as it was profitable, there would be caravans that sold the much-needed tea of the Qiang people to the Qiang people in exchange for their furs. What Lu Weimang did was to use his own unique five-color glass to attract all kinds of people to Jincheng to trade, so that not to mention the various business opportunities brought by the flow of people, it could also increase the income of all parts of Yongzhou under her rule.

She Lu Weimang is a landlord official, and she can't let the people and the yamen under her rule be poor to the end, right?

The more Lu Weimang thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes were full of fantasies about a better and foreseeable future.

"Oh, it hurts."

There was a sudden pain in his forehead, and Lu Weimang came back to his senses from his fantasy.

But it was Huo Jing who looked at her with a smile and withdrew the hand that had broken her brain, "When you get busy, no one can take care of it, you say, we haven't had a good meal together for a few days?" ”

Lu Weimang touched his head, grinned, and pretended to be stupid, "Tonight, let's have a good meal together tonight." ”
