Luo Lian did not interact with her man on the dock regardless of the occasion, Luo Lian already clearly knew some differences in each other's cultures, so when she went out, she chose a more conservative contact, and did not make her man more faceless, of course, behind closed doors, it would be impossible for Deng Zilong.

Deng Zilong also had to participate in the celebration banquet, in the words of the Ming Dynasty, it was to reward the three armies, until the time of the willow tops on the moon, Luo Lian saw Deng Zilong come back full of alcohol, Deng Zilong did not drink, most of the alcohol on his body was sergeant, only the soldiers who were resting in Manila could drink heartily, as a general, Deng Zilong needed to be ready to lead troops to fight at any time.

"I just finished fighting." Deng Zilong euphemistically said that he had just gone through a high-intensity battle, and it was not suitable for a high-intensity battle. Is it possible to reduce the intensity and intensity of the war?

"I can do that on top, too." Luo Lian's eyes were confused and pitiful, and she said, "No." ”

"Honey, have I tired you? You weren't like this before, before, no matter how tired you were, when you got off the boat, you pounced on me like a hungry red-eyed tiger, working hard all the time, you have been... Don't love me anymore? ”

"Sure enough, only physical love is so cheap, I have become like chewing wax to you, is that so? It must be so. ”

"Can I be more pessimistic about the rest of my life, or are you going to sell me to someone else? This is extremely unfortunate news for me. ”

"I'm going to take a shower." Deng Zilong immediately raised his hand and surrendered.

This Luo Lian's mouth is too poisonous, he just wants to take a break, Luo Lian opened his mouth, as if the whole world was going to abandon her, he frowned and said: "Don't ruin my Ming idiom, what taste is the same as chewing wax!" This idiom is generally used to describe an article, or language, how can it be used in this kind of thing? ”

Luo Li'an's eyes were like silk, she stretched out her tongue and licked her lips gently, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you take a bath, I'm clean anyway, I'm already hungry and thirsty, did I use the idiom correctly this time?" ”

Deng Zilong immediately fled in a hurry, Luo Lian had been studying Sinology recently, and soon improved to be able to express her desires clearly and clearly in Chinese.

Luo Lian chuckled, then raised her eyebrows, and followed Deng Zilong, Deng Zilong still couldn't escape, because Luo Lian chased him to the bathroom and captured Deng Zilong directly in the bathroom.

"Sometimes I wonder who is the captive." After the passion burned to calm down, Deng Zilong poured a big bowl of sugar water, and there were some wolfberries floating on the sugar water, which made Deng Zilong a little dazed.

Luo Lian chuckled and said, "Does it matter?" Honey, recharge your strength, and we'll move on later. ”

"I think I need to rest." Deng Zilong said solemnly.

"Isn't it okay?" Luo Lian looked at Deng Zilong with some disappointment, and said a little innocently: "It seems that it really can't work." ”

"Shut up!" Deng Zilong really obeyed this mother-in-law, and his captive was not a human at all, but a vixen, what kind of monster does this vixen correspond to in Taixi?

"Did you win?" Luo Lian leaned on the recliner, looked at the stars in the sky, and asked quite calmly, Deng Zilong is a big husband who does what he says, and he did not withdraw at the critical moment, the child, it will only be a matter of time, if you add the number of times, then the child is inevitable, if Luo Lian herself has no problem.

Lorianne didn't know if she had a problem, and it took a lot of practice to verify.

Luo Lian, the vixen, doesn't like sticky people, but in the hot weather of Manila, when the battle is over, they are lying on the mat, each well, tired of being together.

Lying down for a while afterwards, she would only ask for it when the weather was cool.

"Of course we won." Deng Zilong said as a matter of course.

Luo Lian turned her head to look, looked at Deng Zilong and said: "Countless wars have taught us a very simple truth, when you think you are invincible, it is the most dangerous moment, just like the previous commander-in-chief Gao Di and Francisco, just like the previous Ming army did not go well with the Cebu Islands, resulting in a delay of a year. ”

"Honey, promise me never to be arrogant, never to despise your opponents, okay? I don't want to be a widow, there are many widows in front of the door, and I'm still a barbarian widow, and I'm even more bullied. ”

"Okay." Deng Zilong was very convinced that Luo Li'an's request was not a request, Luo Lian just wanted Deng Zilong to survive on the battlefield.

Because of arrogance, Manila's red-haired fan was defeated; Because of arrogance, the Ming army advanced not as victorious as expected in the war against the Cebu Islands, but fortunately, the opponent was in the far east, weak enough.

Luo Lian looked at the sky and whispered: "A person with awe in his heart can always be invincible, how can there be a person in this world who has won many battles without being arrogant?" ”

Deng Zilong thought for a while and said: "There really are, and there are two, one is called Qi Jiguang, and the other is called Yu Dayou, they are called Yu Long and Qi Hu, they are my two Yum generals, they are never arrogant." ”

"There are actually two such people?" Lorianne's eyes widened in surprise and she said.

Deng Zilong said with a smile: "Qi Shuai was not victorious from the beginning, when he first entered the Pingwei War, he also lost three consecutive battles, and he still had to run fast on the battlefield. ”

"Didn't they become arrogant?" Luo Lian looked at Deng Zilong and asked.

Deng Zilong said with admiration: "No, so they have been winning, but our problem is unique to the Ming Dynasty, it is better for the general not to fight too many perfect battles, this problem is too complicated, it is difficult for me to explain clearly." ”

Luo Lian looked at Deng Zilong, and said with some distrust: "Then can my man become such a cautious general?" I know it's hard, but my man, you can't say, he can't do it, right? ”

Probably, the highest honor of a man is that you are very good, and the greatest shame is that you are really not good, which is a great humiliation, probably, this theorem is universally used in all aspects, whether it is on the battlefield, or on the battlefield of the bed, it is applicable.

"I try." Deng Zilong was almost choked to death by Luo Lian's words!

This woman is very good at playing with people's hearts and has sharp teeth.

Deng Zilong said with some curiosity: "I ask a question, it's not offensive, from your words, I find that you don't love your country, on the contrary, even as a prisoner, you still love your country deeply, but it seems that you don't care much about the defeat of the Francophone." ”

"You see, you don't have any disgust with me, the executioner."

"Thank you for your respect." Luo Lian said with a smile: "Actually, I care. ”

"But more importantly, the defeat in the Far East can wake up the invincible Felipe II, so that he can be more sober, and not blindly look into the distance, Spain is already an empire on which the sun never sets, and the crisis of the empire itself is even more urgent."

Deng Zilong said more curiously: "Can you ask about your specific background?" Your words, your insights, don't seem like the nuns of a closed convent. ”

Luo Lian thought for a while and said with a smile: "I am from a noble family, so I have no mercy for these expeditionary colonists composed of poor people and even outlaws, my men are executioners, aren't they executioners?" They had the blood of the Ming people on their hands, and then the Ming people killed them, isn't it equivalent? ”

"There were tens of thousands of Ming people living and living in Luzon, and they first raised their butcher knives and aimed them at the unarmed civilians, and the Ming army was stronger and killed them."

"Although this idea is not in keeping with the status of a nun, God so loved the world that He even gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life, but I am a nobleman and everything becomes reasonable."

Deng Zilong shook his head and said, "You are avoiding the important and trivial, and you have not answered my question directly." ”

Luo Lian still didn't want to talk about the past, and said with a smile: "It's all over, isn't it?" The past is the past, and now in front of you is Lorianne, a captive. ”

"Well, don't say it if you don't want to." Deng Zilong chose to respect again, she was reluctant to say, and Deng Zilong was not forced.

Luo Lian looked at the bright sky and said, "What can I do if I care?" What can a weak, completely dependent slave do? It's better to think on the bright side. ”

"Money is a demagogic demon."

"There is a great crisis that is breaking out in the native territory of the Kingdom of Spain, and Felipe II is helpless against this crisis, and this crisis stems from the devil of gold and silver."

"More than twenty years ago, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V gave the Netherlands to his son, now King Felipe II of Spain, who, like his father, was belligerent, heavily taxed and arrogant."

"The Netherlands is the pearl in the crown of Spain, it is the most economically advanced and developed region, the northern provinces of the Netherlands and Zealand operate textile and shipbuilding artisanal workshops, and the southern provinces of Flanders and Brabán operate artisanal workshops in the textile, metallurgy, sugar refining and printing industries."

"Every year the Spanish royal family was able to obtain more than 12,000 catties of gold from the Netherlands."

Deng Zilong pinched his fingers and calculated, converted into about 200,000 taels of gold, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, that is to say, the tax revenue of the Netherlands, or the lowland countries, alone has more than two million taels of silver.

"Maybe I can understand the Netherlands as the richest Nanya Fourteen Prefectures in my Ming Dynasty?" Deng Zilong tried to understand that the Netherlands was indeed the corresponding position of the Ming Dynasty.

Luo Lian shook her head and said: "It's not exactly the same, the situation in the Netherlands is even worse, the southern government of the Ming Dynasty is the core territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Netherlands is not the result of conquest, but the territory obtained by marriage, so resistance is everywhere." ”

"In order to rule, Felipe II set up a large number of Inquisitions in the Netherlands, carried out brutal repression, William of Nassau, who was silent, began to organize a revolt, and the war burned all over Flanders, Brabant, Holland Province, Zeeland, this war has been going on for more than ten years, and the damned British keep instigating and supporting the Nassau family in the back, leading to further deterioration of the situation."

Every Spaniard hated the English, because these Englishmen were picking things around all day long, supporting the silent William and William's brother Louis, which made the situation even more complicated.

And the army of sea beggars, or Calvinist beggars, who oppose the cruel rule of religion, constantly attacks and robs everywhere on land and at sea, and behind these people, there is also the support of the damned British.

"The Ming Dynasty's War of Peace and Peace?" Deng Zilong seems to have found another war that can be roughly equivalent to understanding.

"For more than a decade of war, our army has been winning on the battlefield, nine years ago in the Battle of Jemmingen, the Spanish phalanx of 15,000 men against the Dutch 12,000, the Dutch army suffered more than 7,000 casualties, and our large phalanx maintained their same combat strength as before, with more than 80 dead and wounded. ”

"Last year Captain Antonio brought the news that in the Battle of Mockhead, we had once again defeated the Dutch, and that Henry and Louis of the House of Nassau, whom we had just mentioned, had all been killed on the battlefield, and that we had only lost 150 men."

"But the resistance of the seven provinces of Nieland did not stop because of the death of the leader, but became more intense, killing William and Louis, did not break the resistance of the seven provinces of Niland, the war will only continue to spread, and finally drag Spain into the quagmire of war, sinking deeper and deeper."

"The present Spanish Empire is caught in a trap of war, which is carefully orchestrated by the British."

"If the war is not expected, it is necessary to continue to increase investment, and continuous investment will make the resistance more intense, and the scale of the war will become larger and more intense, causing more serious damage to production, and the tax will be reduced again, even if the war is won, it will be even more unable to meet expectations, and finally the investment will continue to increase, and so on."

"No matter how powerful an empire is, it will be dragged down by endless wars."

"Especially when this kind of war happens within the empire, war is war, destruction is destruction, in Nilander to put down the rebellion, it is better to wage war against the British, if you can win it, although it can't solve the problem, but at least you can export evil anger."

"I can understand that." Deng Zilong nodded with feeling, the war in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty fell into this quagmire because it could not be completely won.

The first emperor made a decision against his ancestors, and made peace with the Beiyu, this kind of peace is that the Ming canonized Altan Khan as the king of Shunyi, in name, Altan Khan is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and is the courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

Deng Zilong asked with some doubts: "You are a nobleman, and it seems that there is a queen in your Franc machine, as a nobleman, why don't you explain it to the king?" ”

Lorien shook her head and said: "Even a man like mine, such a brave and warlike man, when he is barehanded, he can't hold a running boar, Felipe II is the running boar, he is stubborn to the point of paranoia, this is his personal problem; ”

"And he doesn't have many choices, and the general trend does not allow him to stop the pace of war, and now Spain, which is scattered and fragmented, needs religion as a rope to string the fragmented land together, and if he can get rid of the shackles of religion, he may have more choices."

"It's more important for me to be a healthy child!" Luo Lian changed her words, turned over her horse, and whispered: "My husband, no matter how tired you are, I have a way to let you continue to fight." ”

Deng Zilong clenched his fists and said, "If you have to go to the battlefield tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't even be able to wear armor, so you can take it easy." ”

"War is like a man, after a fight, you need to rest, in a short time, the war will not come again, we have a lot of time." Lorianne shook her red hair and leaned down.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was shining, and Deng Zilong's legs were a little drifting and appeared in the Governor's Palace, Yin Zhengmao sighed and said: "General Deng, but he is a very solid general." ”

"I won!" After Deng Zilong sat down, he said with great conviction: "After fifteen days of fierce battles, triumphant after triumphant, I came to the Governor's Mansion to participate in the discussion of the former army. ”

Deng Zilong won, Luo Lian couldn't even get out of bed, and it was not a wise choice to challenge a general who was good at fierce battles.

"Speaking of this harvest, we have obtained a large number of notes, and the imperial court seems to attach more importance to these, so let Luo Fox copy a copy and send it to Songjiang Mansion." Zhang Yuanxun talked about the harvest with a smile on his face.

Luo Fox is Luo Lian, this is Luo Lian's nickname, the name is wrong, but the nickname is usually not wrong.

Antonio presented a lot of charts and notes, whether they were modified or not, it is not yet known, these notes will be an excellent reference.

Yin Zhengmao said with certainty: "Your Majesty seems to attach more importance to the notes, and never asks where we go every time we harvest gold and silver. ”

Zhang Yuanxun tried to explain from another angle: "The establishment of the Luzon City Ship Division and the Metropolitan Salary Pavilion is a long-term income, which is our deferential heart, and Your Majesty can understand that there is still a difference between buying and selling a rod and a fine stream of water. ”

Yin Zhengmao sighed and said, "But Yuanfu is always wary of us. ”

Charts, star charts, drawings of some astronomical instruments, a large number of nautical notes and old texts were put on the hydrofoil sailboat, and sent to the Penghu Inspection Division in the wind and waves, and then sent all the way north to the Beijing Division.

This sea route is already extremely familiar, and Zhao Mengyou received Zeng Guang, a prisoner, and also received these old texts.

After Zhao Mengyou returned to Beijing, he traveled from His Majesty, and the Ming Emperor rarely left Beijing, not to Beitucheng, but to Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture, Wanping County is located near Lugou Bridge, twenty-four miles outside the Guangning Gate on the west side of the outer city, very close, but His Majesty is the first time to leave Beijing so far.

In addition to Ti Cai, there were also Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Tiaoyang, the second assistant, Wang Guoguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Guo Chaobin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhu Yijun went to Wanping to see the wool official factory of Daming and understand the specific output, after all, he had to see it with his own eyes in order to confirm the existence of this official factory.

Zhu Yijun's car stopped steadily in front of the official factory on the bank of the Yongding River, the official factory has a huge archway, which says Yongding woolen factory, under the archway, in front of the gate are two teams of Jinyi guards and the sharp pawn of the Beijing camp.

Zhu Yijun appeared on the chariot, and everyone saluted and shouted in unison: "See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”

Zhu Yijun looked at the spotless card amount, slightly disappointed, he still thought that he had ventured out of the city this time, careerists, and it was not boiling?

Find a way to change an obedient emperor, the ready-made King of Lu, Zhu Yiyi, is a good candidate.

But Wang Chonggu obviously did not have this plan, but carefully prepared for the inspection, and even the archway was cleaned, and he planned to take a good look at the credit.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun stood still, waved his hand, and signaled that he would be exempt from courtesy.

"Your Majesty, at present, there are only more than 1,200 acres of Yongding woolen factory, Your Majesty please come here." Wang Chonggu took a step forward and guided the little emperor to a three-person high list, and said with a smile: "This is the Daming official factory, which is divided into three parts: north, south and middle with three roads. The south is spinning and weaving, the north is washing and dyeing, and the middle is waterwheel, machine repair and general office. ”

Zhu Yijun stood on the public list, looking at the map at a glance, this is only a preliminary construction, depending on the amount of wool in the northwest, gradually increase production, expand the scale and production capacity.

Wang Chonggu shook his sleeves, bowed his head and said: "Washing, combing, spinning, weaving, trimming, dyeing and other workers, a total of 2,600 weavers were recruited, 900 male workers, more than 1,700 female workers, more than 4,000 forced laborers, and 300 sergeants from the Beijing camp who were responsible for the law. ”

Zhang Hong took the chronicle and shook it vigorously, and after not finding the entrainment, he presented it to His Majesty.

Zhang Hong made it clear that he didn't trust Wang Chonggu, otherwise Zhang Hong would not have done such a rude thing.

The official factory chronicle includes several chapters such as construction, factory land, grassland, material amount, personnel, official office, laws and regulations, Xing and Revolution, etc., of which there are more than six chapters in the category of legal provisions, all of which are heavy requirements in the production process.

This legal provision is constantly expanding, and the book will continue to be updated with the expansion of the government, and it will be revised every year.

"The Grand Priest has done things carefully." Zhu Yijun read it about once and saw a few examples, which reflected Wang Chonggu's intentions everywhere.

Logically speaking, wool is only worth a few cents per catty, and it must be very cheap to weave woolen cloth, but in fact, due to the coarse and miscellaneous raw materials, the quality is too poor, and 400 people are hired to pick wool every day, and each person can only pick two catties a day, and the cost of wool is already very expensive before weaving into woolen cloth.

And Wang Chonggu found a kind of bentonite in the northwest, bentonite is a kind of white soil, which can be decontaminated, and people in the northwest often use it to rinse clothes, and this kind of soil addition, coupled with the hydraulic power to push the water mill, suddenly reduced the number of laborers from 400 to 50.

For example, in one hundred catties of wool, only 10 catties can weave the first-class, 20 catties can weave inferior, 50 catties can weave coarse felt, and 20 catties are completely useless.

It is to comb and clean the inferior, coarse felt and useless wool through carding to make the wool available. In this way, from the original fourth-class material, it has become a second-class material, which is divided into worsted and woollen spinning, and the main ones of worsted and woolen are long hair and short wool.

These are Wang Chonggu in the process of building the official factory, and the Ministry of Industry bit by bit research, on this energetic process, there are six processes, oblique nail combing, peeling, clamping, cleaning, hair, dense combing, useless wool after four times, can be turned into woollen.

Wang Chonggu really worked hard, if you want to say how loyal Wang Chonggu is to the emperor and the dynasty, it is not necessarily, but Wang Chonggu must be loyal to his heart, he wants to make money, and the emperor asks him to make money.

This is actually enough, Zhu Yijun did not ask Wang Chonggu to be a moral saint, if he wants to make money, then there is a consensus with the imperial court, so there is no need to send it to the Liberation Courtyard.

Each horse is 5 zhang long and 5 feet wide, and can produce more than 600 woollen fabrics and 20 worsted fabrics per day, and can produce 120,000 woollen fabrics and about 5,000 worsted fabrics a year.

This is not as much as England's annual production of 150,000 horses.

But in the third year of Wanli, England, which was not yet the British Empire, naturally could not be compared with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun looked at the last profit table and said: "Da Sikou, this worsted fabric sells for thirty-five taels of silver, and one foot costs seven dollars of silver, and this woollen cloth costs fifteen taels of silver, and one foot costs three dollars of silver, and a worsted cloth counts twelve taels of silver, and a woollen cloth costs five taels of silver, is it too much?" The net profit is about 30% and a half, can this be sold? ”

"The profit is not determined by the minister, but by the head of the household." Wang Chonggu does not take this responsibility, this is the price finalized by the household department.

Wang Guoguang's pricing was after in-depth consideration, and even referred to the figures set by the profits of the wool business in England, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's not expensive, it's only three and a half percent of the profit, no matter how low it is, what is Zhang Luo doing with this transaction?" ”

"At this price, he is also extremely happy to sell it to Antonio."

At this price, Antoniola also made a profit when he went back to Tessie, although it was not as profitable as silk.

"Then let's try it." Zhu Yijun walked into the wool factory, and Guo Chaobin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, introduced the cumbersome wool production process in detail, how many people are needed for each process, and how much output is needed.

Zhu Yijun inspected the entire official factory, asked about some specific details in the actual production process, and made a high degree of affirmation of the work of the Yongding wool official factory, and every weaver was rewarded with two silvers as a reward for the imperial court.

"Let's go to the cafeteria." Zhu Yijun's feet stepped out of the gate of the Yongding Wool Official Factory, and suddenly turned his head to Wang Chonggu and said.

At noon, when it was time to eat, Zhu Yijun wanted to see how the food in this official factory was, which was an unplanned process.

Wang Chonggu led His Majesty to the dining hall and said with a smile: "Our official factory manages two meals a day, in the morning and at noon, and it is good to work when you are full, right?" ”

According to Wang Chonggu's nomenclature, what should Zhang Juzheng's woolen coat be called? Lotus green python pattern mink worsted wool crane feather? Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!
