Ministry of Industry.

Three spinning looms have been made.

One is a pedal silk reeling machine, the late Qing version, the other is Jenny spinning machine, the late Qing version, and finally the jacquard loom, the late Ming version.

The foot reeling machine is mainly silk silk, the performance is about 10 times that of the Song Dynasty machine, one person can use it, Jenny spinning machine is famous, can increase the spinning speed of several times to dozens of times, mainly depends on how many spindles.

As for the jacquard loom, although the Song Dynasty already had a jacquard loom, Lin Yi made this one, but it can increase the textile speed by about 4 times, and the colors that can be woven are also more.

In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou, Songjiang and other areas, there have been some large textile factories with a scale of thousands of workers, clothing, food, housing and transportation, are indispensable livelihood industries for the people, if you get a few large factories in the south of the Yangtze River, it is definitely very profitable.

It can also drive the local sericulture economy and enrich the daily life of the people.

The machine makes it,

Lin Yi asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to do the experiment.

There are many skilled people here, and they quickly measured the power of these machines, and they were shocked and excited.

The officials were also excited.

That's a great feat.

And there will be a note in the history books in the future, and these participants may be famous in the annals of history.

Lin Yi said to the Ministry of Works: "Write a good note, report it to Your Majesty, and see what Your Majesty's arrangements are."

However, the Ministry of Labor Shangshu bowed down and asked, "What are the arrangements for the minister?"

Lin Yi was his leader in charge, and he definitely had to ask Lin Yi's opinion first, Lin Yi said with a smile: "After Your Majesty knows, the Ministry of Industry will preside over the construction of several large-scale workshops in Jiangnan, which can increase the national silk output by more than 30%."

"As for the cotton cloth, it can increase the yield by about fifty percent, so that the amount of cotton will increase greatly, and now cotton planting is mainly in the Guanxi, Fujian, and Guangzhou regions, and it can be appropriately increased, and it will definitely be profitable, and you can write these on the fold so that Your Majesty can know."

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu nodded hurriedly.

Following.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu played Ming Lin Xianggong in the court to study three new looms, which can increase production by 10 times, and the courtiers were very shocked.

Lin Xianggong has just developed a new type of artillery, and within a few days, he has made a new loom, which can increase production by 10 times, is Lin Xianggong a god descending from heaven?

Song Huizong was overjoyed after reading the book.

said: "Originally, in the past few days, I was still discussing how to reward Lin Qing, but now I have made a new loom that is related to the livelihood of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and it seems that the reward will be discussed again."

The officials below were jealous.

But it can't be helped,

Who called Lin Xianggong is really powerful.

"As for the establishment of factories in the Jiangnan area, I think it is better for the imperial court and the royal trading house to do it together, the imperial court is responsible for the government affairs part, and the royal trading house is responsible for the commercial part, so as to avoid corruption."

The emperor said that he was afraid of someone, and now someone jumps out and says that it is inappropriate, obviously thinking about corruption, who dares to wade into this troubled water.

Besides,

This matter has always been presided over by Lin Yi, and now who dares to offend him.

A few days later,

The court rewarded it.

Jia Taifu, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, Feng Chu Guogong.

Taifu is a good product, Lin Yi is only a little bit closer to being able to compete with Cai Jing now, Lin Yi accepted the reward at home, and went to the palace to thank him.

At night

Overnight at the Royal Palace.

Lin Yi's Duke of Chu has also been done by Cai Jing before, and Cai Jing has been awarded several times, first as the Duke of Jia, then as the Duke of Wei, as the Duke of Chu, and now Cai Jing as the Duke of Lu, and now Lin Yi has become the Duke of Chu, chasing Cai Jing.

Then

Many officials came to visit Lin Yi with gifts to congratulate Lin Yi on his entry into the knighthood, but Lin Yi avoided all of them.

For a while, there were many rumors in the market, and Lin Yi's reputation for honesty was widely spread.

Of course

Here is the effect of Lin Yi taking the initiative to let people spread.

Now Lin Yi's storyteller is raised

There are no less than a few hundred gentlemen, but they are an extremely powerful propaganda force.

The so-called reputation is good or bad.

How much outsiders really understand, it is not by propaganda, and in ancient times, word of mouth was extremely important, once a concept was formed, many things were twice the result with half the effort.

Mingchen,

It can be advertised.

Now Lin Yi's rumors in the market are basically that he is unparalleled in the world, romantic, loyal to the country, honest and not corrupt, knows people well, and innovates the military officialdom.

Many people think that the future of the Great Song Dynasty is on Lin Xianggong.

......

On this day,

It is the day of the opening of the Treasure Pavilion.

If you want to raise the army well, you need more money, and Lin Yi began to make money again after building a new army frame and arranging for the establishment of a textile factory in the south.

Jumbo Court is the property of the Royal Merchant House.

Including the capital, a total of 32 Treasure Pavilion have been opened, covering the 32 most prosperous cities in the Great Song Dynasty, including Tokyo Bianliang, Xijing Luoyang, Yingchang Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion, Daimyo Mansion, Yangzhou, Lin'an Mansion, Jingnan Mansion and other places.

The so-called Treasure Pavilion is naturally a place to sell precious things.

From gold, silver and jade, cherished playthings, vases and antiques, pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings, to glass products and glass crafts made by the royal trading house.

In short, they all cherish high-priced things.

Lin Yi robbed a large amount of treasures in Cai Jing, Wang Hao, and Liang Shicheng's house before, and they could only eat ashes in the warehouse, so it was better to take them out and sell them, but now Cai Jing has not fallen, so Lin Yi only took out Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng's.

In addition, there are items confiscated from the homes of dozens of corrupt officials such as Zhu Mian, and even their houses in Bianjing, all of which should be sold.

You must know how many treasures these guys have looted among the people in the name of looting treasures for Song Huizong, and the treasures in the hands of several guys add up to no less than hundreds of millions.

Bianjing Treasure Pavilion.

It is used in the mansion of the former king.

In addition to the convenience of reform, it also has the role of alerting officials, no matter how brilliant you once were, you don't even have a home after making a mistake.

Treasure Pavilion, dragon and lion dances, firecrackers are not lively.

In advance, Lin Yi sent out invitations to Bianjing officials and big businessmen, as well as their families, as well as several Buddhist temples to preside over the great monks, so the crowd flocked to more than a thousand on the opening day.

The variety of goods is very attractive.

It's all kinds of treasures.

It makes many people's hearts flutter.

However, the price also discourages many people, and good things are really expensive.

Not to mention other treasures,

Just say that the utensils and handicrafts that Lin Yi asked the glass workshop to create attracted countless people to visit.

glazed tea set,

Glass pen holder pen wash.

Glass jewelry box.

Glass vase,

Jewelry made of glass.

As little as a few, as much as dozens or hundreds.

It's pretty cheap.

All kinds of glass mirrors, the few are dozens or hundreds, and the most expensive ones are more than a thousand, but this mirror can reflect half of the body, and many people are amazed.

It's nothing,

There are more expensive ones.

These days, after the craftsmen are familiar with glass creation, their skills are becoming more and more proficient, and they are a group of top craftsmen, and the craftsmanship is absolutely not to say, as long as they understand the characteristics of glass, as for various shapes, they will follow.

Lin Yi specially instructed,

Let the craftsmen create a variety of glazed Buddha statues and Bodhisattva statues.

After Lin Yi became the prime minister, he read the information of the religious department, saying that there were many Taoist priests in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was incorrect, in fact, there were more monks in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the files of the imperial court recorded that there are now more than 39,000 temples registered in the country, and there are more than 300,000 monks.

Not only did these temples not pay taxes, but they also made money from business, especially in the usury industry, which many large temples were engaged in.

what

If you don't pay back,

Dare to pit the Buddha's money.

Not only did you make a cow and a horse in this life,

In the next life, you will be a cow and a horse.

Monks have money, and they are willing to spend money, otherwise how can they have the money to gild the Buddha's body and build so many magnificent temples.

Lin Yi drew a pattern, these Bodhisattva Buddha statues, one by one shining with glazed golden light, especially under the light, exuding colorful brilliance.

Mortals want to invite them home to make offerings, let alone those monks.

This is also the reason why Lin Yi asked people to give invitations to the temple host.

Buddha statue area.

Master Zhiqing, the presiding officer of Daxiangguo Temple, put his palms together in front of the Buddha statue and the Bodhisattva statue and chanted Amitabha Buddha, and his eyes were completely attracted by these full and gorgeous Buddha statues.

Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha.

Manjushri, Puxian, Guanyin, Dashi to the Bodhisattva statue and so on.

And there are also various shapes.

For example, Manjushri is divided into seated statues, standing statues and riding lion statues. Fuxian Bodhisattva sitting, standing statue of the whole body, riding a six-tusked white elephant statue.

As long as there is a need,

Lin Yi can allow people to build an entire collection.

Dozens of Buddhas, dozens of Bodhisattvas, as well as Arhats, Garans, the Heavens, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Vajras, etc.

Even one Avalokiteshvara can make thirty-three incarnations.

The great monk called the steward who sold the Buddha statues, folded his hands and asked, "How can these Buddha statues be brought back to the temple?"

The steward respectfully said, "Master Hui Zhiqing, this one-foot-high seven-colored glazed Buddha statue and Bodhisattva statue, an eight-hundred-foot-high, two-foot-tall Buddha statue and Bodhisattva statue, a one-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand

The corners of the old monk's eyes twitched.

The heart says it's so expensive.

But he desperately wanted to go back.

It's tormented.

Master Zhiqing turned around, and finally saw Lin Yi, Lin Yi was chatting with other officials and businessmen at the moment, the big monk came over, Lin Yi greeted with a smile.

"Master Zhiqing, how do you feel about the Treasure Pavilion?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

Master Zhiqing sighed: "There are countless treasures, it is indeed in line with the name of the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Xianggong, the poor monk has something to discuss with Xianggong, I don't know if it is possible?"

"Master, please?"

In fact, Lin Yi already had some guesses in his heart.

"I saw those colorful glazed Buddha statues, solemn and luxurious, not suitable for sale, but should be put in the Buddha hall for worship, the poor monk wants to discuss with Lin Xianggong, can the treasure pavilion donate those Buddha statues to the Great Xiangguo Temple, the monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple will pray for the Xianggong."

After speaking, he made a Buddha ceremony.

Lin Yi had a smile on his face, but he said in his mouth: "Master Zhiqing, this is the property of the official family, the official family reduces the tax burden for the country, you want to take it for nothing when you open your mouth, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be angry?"

"Oh~~"

Master Zhiqing was speechless.

"Can it be cheaper, it's too expensive."

"Master Zhiqing, you Hutu, do you think that the Buddha and Bodhisattva should be cheaper, this is a great disrespect to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, but I think it should be as expensive as possible, you say."

sophism

Master Zhiqing knew that Lin Yi was sophistry.

But he can't say that the Buddha and Bodhisattva statues are not worth so much money.

In the end, they could only retreat.

......

The Treasure Pavilion in other cities across the country is also open today, and I don't know what the situation is, although the Royal Comptoir has established a carrier pigeon liaison intelligence organization, but it will not be known until a few days later.

Just when Lin Yi was thinking, Cui Niannu brought Jin Lian Yinlian and Chunmei Xiu'er over to come over, and today the Treasure Pavilion opened, and Lin Yi specially asked them to join in the fun.

Today, it is not only a few of them female guests, Lin Yi is inviting officials and wealthy businessmen, and also inviting their families, women's spending power is not necessarily lower than that of men, and this is especially true in modern society.

And women are more likely to be impulsive in consumption, unlike men who always care about gains and losses, mirrors, soaps, and perfumes

The largest consumer group is women, so it is also necessary to cultivate noble women to consume.

The Treasure Pavilion has opened up a treasure area for women, selling high-end gold jewelry, jewelry, jade, pearl necklaces, gorgeous clothing, glass items, etc.

"What did you buy?" Lin Yi asked a few women with a smile.

The girls chattered about their gains.

Most of them are some women's jewelry, hairpins, golden hairpins, beads, etc., which are naturally paid for by Lin Yi, but here they are all his, and the money spent is from left hand to right hand.

Night.

Lin Yi pulled Cui Niannu and Pan Jinlian to serve together, the two girls showed their own style, and Lin Yi, who was waiting, was so uncomfortable.

The next day,

His Majesty the Emperor came to the Treasure Pavilion in person.

Chartered.

Moreover, he brought more than seventy or eighty concubines, as well as more than forty princes and princesses, and the emperor's family plus the servants served, there were also hundreds of people.

Lin Yi became Song Huizong's big hand.

"Today's consumption is paid for by me."

Empress Zheng led the team, the princes and princesses, and the concubines began to make big purchases, of course, they are not without people with high and low eyebrows, and they have to take those priceless things, for example, the queen consumes 500 yuan, and the concubine can only consume 300 yuan, decreasing in turn.

Even so,

In the end, tens of thousands of yuan were consumed.

Who is the royal population?

Fortunately, these people are not very interested in antique jade calligraphy and painting, and they like glazed products more, because now glazed products are the most popular, and the cost is only a few hundred.

It's drizzling.

Night

Lin Yi called two concubines to come to the palace to serve.

When the two girls saw the emperor crying, Lin Yi asked them why they were sad, "It's not sadness, the concubine is happy, Your Majesty hasn't spoiled the slave family for more than a year, and the concubine thinks that Your Majesty will no longer pay attention to others."

Another concubine also said, "The slave family is also looking forward to serving Your Majesty every day."

Song Huizong's concubines, none of them are not beautiful, the two in front of them, although they have already given birth to children, the taste of women is getting stronger and stronger.

Lin Yixin said that it was no wonder that Cao Thief liked this tune.

This night,

It's wonderful.

......

A few days later.

News was sent from all over the country through the flying pigeon to report the sales of treasure buildings in various places, and in just three days, the total sales reached 5 million.

More than that,

There is also a batch of Buddha statues and Bodhisattva statues, which were shipped to Liao and sold, and they were snapped up and sold for millions of yuan.

In the Great Song Dynasty,

Although Buddhism is prosperous, there is still a balance of Taoism, but in the Liao State, Buddhism is the dominant family, and the Liao State has developed from believing in Buddhism to the level of Buddha.

The so-called Buddha refers to blindly worshipping Buddha in order to seek blessings.

There is a saying in later generations called "Liao to release the abolition, Jin to Confucianism", several generations of emperors of the Liao State believe in Buddhism, Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji is particularly superstitious about Buddhism, to what extent is superstition? Basically, he is a virtue with Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, and he likes to build a lot of construction for Buddhism.

Yelu Hongji is the eldest brother who swore to Qiao Feng, he has reigned for more than 40 years, and Buddhism has also flourished for more than 40 years.

Four percent of the people in Liao became monks, and the whole country was a believer in Buddhism, and every year they consumed a lot of gold and silver to serve Buddhism, and the temples became very rich.

As for the Western Xia, Dali and other countries, they all believe in Buddhism and regard them as state religions.

Lin Yi made these Buddha statues, not specifically for the monks of the Great Song Dynasty, but also to make money from Liao, Xixia, and Dali.

These glazed Buddha statues can be exchanged for large sums of gold and silver.

Is there anything more enjoyable than making money from the enemy's country?

According to Lin Yi's speculation, it is not a problem to earn back tens of millions of guan every year from the three kingdoms of Liao, Xixia, and Dali, plus the domestic treasure pavilion, it is not a big problem to earn forty or fifty million guan per year.

Now with this foundation, Lin Yi's next plan can be executed

That's to get the Royal Bank.

Convergence of the world's wealth.
