Yang Xuangan recommended himself to become the president of the technical college, and Yang Guang naturally handed over this task to him.

Unlike the old masters who felt insulting to Sven, Yang Xuan felt that this matter was very good, Yang Guang asked the reason, Yang Xuan said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, go and build this first technical school now, to put it mildly, in the future, these workshops and firms in Daxing City will definitely be at the helm of these workshops and firms in Daxing City in a few decades, and we can be regarded as a favor to them." ”

"To put it mildly, a person like Li Chun, who is now in charge of the firearms arsenal, looks like the shopkeeper of a workshop, but the taxes he contributes every year and the actual rights he holds are not smaller than those of ordinary officials, and the money is even more on the table.

Yang Xuangan's perspective on the problem is different from others.

Just as a few people were talking, Yang Lihua broke in.

The high-spirited woman is always warm, she is always like a blooming rose, showing her beauty without scruples.

"Yo, so many people are here? What bad things are you discussing? ”

"Eldest sister, we are discussing the matter of the technical school."

Yang Lihua nodded: "I've heard that you have caused a lot of trouble this time, but this group of old-fashioned people has to teach a good lesson." ”

Yang Lihua hates this group of old scholars very much, after all, she is the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty, and she has a very high political marriage value, because the emperor and queen want her to marry again, so she invited the old gentleman to convince people, and threw out a large set of theories to persuade Yang Lihua, which annoyed Yang Lihua to death.

Although the old gentlemen who came to persuade her were not Li Gang and others, her impression of these old gentlemen was very bad because of this.

"Eldest sister, what is the matter with you coming today?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, it's a little something, you asked your workshop to give me a cheaper cloth."

Yang Guang was a little puzzled: "Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Oh, you've been out for too long, and you don't know the situation yet, I also opened a workshop, making clothes, your workshop only makes cloth, and robots can't make finished clothes, so I saw that there were a lot of business opportunities in it, and I built a large workshop of two hundred people, which is to make clothes."

"The quality of the clothes made by others is really not good, not good enough, and I can't look down on it at all, so I can only make it myself."

Yang Lihua, a top rich and powerful woman, their clothing needs cannot be met by ordinary clothing factories, and they must be haute couture, and this kind of haute couture still has to be handmade, Yang Lihua saw the business opportunities and founded this workshop, and Yang Guang listened to her and admired her idea.

She was the first to start selling services.

For these people with high requirements, they sell not only clothes, the grade of the fabric, the color, the style, and the experiential links attached to it are very important, Yang Lihua, who has a keen business opportunity, opened the clothing workshop directly to the East Market, full transparent production, the front selection of material style, size and color, you can see the production at any time, every craftsman a production table, are extremely elegant.

This solved the problem of a large number of women's work, and the female seamstresses who worked in her workshop were paid more than the men outside, which made the heads of those who wanted to work break their heads.

This is the differentiated demand, with the further decline in the price of cloth now, after the needs of civilians are met, the high-end demand is actually expanding, and everyone will want to wear good clothes after they have clothes to wear.

With the improvement of looms, the quality of the cloth produced now can also meet the high-end demand, but the workshop has also learned, although the cost is not much different, but it is expensive to sell.

This is also the reason why Yang Lihua came to talk.

"Eldest sister, your workshop is making a lot of money, and you are still squeezing us for this little money."

Yang Lihua said: "You are the most profitable person in Dasui, are you still short of this money?" ”

"Alright, alright, I'll talk to the workshop then."

Yang Lihua's business sense has always been very keen, when she sold the house, now in the workshop, she is always the first person to eat crabs, although she always likes to squeeze some profits from herself, but this is the best illustration that she has the potential of a capitalist.

Capitalists and landlords are the same in that interests come first.

The difference is that the only way for the landlord to obtain benefits is to exploit, and the more he squeezes, the more he obtains, but while capital is squeezing, it also has to take into account the survival of the workers, and without the workers, no one will work, and even the workers will go to others to do it, but they will increase their competitors.

And there are not a few people like Yang Lihua who have a keen sense of smell, Yu Wenshu according to his own prompts, is now obsessed with the study of steam engines to drive carriages, as long as he draws a blueprint for a better future, they themselves are doing their best to enjoy the huge benefits obtained after really making this thing.

Yang Guang felt that now in the whole of the Great Sui, capitalism has begun to sprout.

Productivity is improving, production relations are changing, this is the sign of germination.

And this kind of change will make the overall social relations of the Great Sui stable in recent years, everyone is busy making money, and when they make more and more money year by year, it is difficult for social relations to be unstable.

The development of society cannot be achieved overnight, and all the stages that should be experienced must be experienced.

Yang Guang will arrange it on this day, Yang Xuangan will be the principal of the technical school, start the training of technical talents as soon as possible, and also formulate rules, those who pass the assessment of the technical school and finally get an excellent graduation certificate will receive a subsidy for buying a house in Daxing City, as well as a real money subsidy within one year after graduation.

After the establishment of the notification school, the state-owned workshops in Daxing City will also send people to teach skills, and they will also be assigned jobs after graduation.

As soon as this policy was announced, a group of young people planned to go to school.

Nowadays, many young people in their sixteen, seventeen and twenties are willing to enter the factory, especially in places like firearms workshops, where there is a craft that will not starve to death in this life, but they can earn more than farming.

However, firearms workshops have high recruitment requirements.

Originally, they didn't plan to go to the technical school to study, one study is two or three years, and their precious time is wasted, but given such a good policy, graduation and distribution, this is not a squeeze into it.

All eyes are on the bright future.

At the same time, Li Yuan said: "Your Highness, there is another thing to worry about now, and that is food. ”

"Although the wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, with the increase in the number of people working in the city, now there are fewer farmers growing grain at home, although it will not affect the output of grain at present, but once it encounters a disaster year, it is easy to have problems."

Yang Guang rubbed his hand on the chair for a while and said, "I have a solution, that is, it will be more troublesome, and it will be a way to do this in the future." ”

"Your Highness, please speak."

"South of the Yangtze River, the land is fertile, and in some places the grain is even harvested twice a year."

Li Yuan answered and said, "Your Highness, I understand what you mean, it is true that you can get more food by defeating Nan Chen, but according to the current situation, ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Guang said, "Look your eyes further south." ”

Yang Xuangan was the first to react: "Your Highness, do you mean Lingnan, or even the Jiaozhi area?" ”

Yang Guang nodded.

"Although I haven't been to that place yet, I've heard that the Jiaozhi area can grow grain all year round, the water and grass are abundant, the weather is hot, and the rice even grows three times a year.

Yu Wenhua said worriedly: "But Your Highness, Jiaozhi is south of Nanchen, if we want to transport Jiaozhi's grain over, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"Brother Yuwen, have you forgotten what path I used to fight Goguryeo?"

Li Jing had already understood Yang Guang's thoughts.

Yu Wenhua suddenly realized: "Oh, our warships can directly cross Nanchen, and in terms of transportation efficiency, warships can be much faster than land transportation." ”

"Yes, I am planning to do this, the future of maritime trade will be a very important part of our Sui Dynasty trade, like Jiaozhi has a unique geographical location, growing grain is very simple, but it is more difficult to transport grain, as long as the transportation link is solved, grain can continue to come to the Great Sui."

At this time, Yu Wenhua, who had not yet won a great feat like Li Jing, stood up: "Your Highness, although it is dangerous to fight across the sea at such a long distance, Weichen is willing to go, and he must take Jiaozhi first for His Highness." ”

"It's time to fight."

"Huh? Don't fight? ”

"We just want food, let's talk about it later, if we take Nanchen in the future, Jiaozhi will be recaptured naturally, as long as we have food, we are not only targeting Jiaozhi, but also the Nanyang countries, their fertile land."

Yu Wenhua looked puzzled: "Your Highness, if you don't fight, how can we get their food." ”

"Can't you just buy it?"

"These small people in Fanbang, they still have to spend money to buy with them?"

Yang Guang shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Brother Yuwen, things have to look at the long term, we have just conquered Goguryeo, if it is the current governance of the tyrannical expropriation, it will inevitably lead to a rebellion, when the time comes, the sky is angry and resentful, if you don't retreat, you have to retreat, war is the last resort to solve the matter, and trade is our regular means of obtaining resources from the outside world." ”

"Then how can we make money if we spend money to buy it?"

Li Jing spoke at this time: "Who said that it can't be earned, the people over there live poorly, the labor is cheap, and the price of things is also low, we sold it at a low price from there, and shipped it back and sold it at a high price, won't the money be earned?" ”

"But is it really possible to make money from such a long distance?"

Yang Guang is very determined: "We can bring things in the past, and we can also bring other things back when we come back, business is up, there are too many things that can be sold and sold, just the same, our cloth clothes, just find some at will, the quality is much better than over there, and even may directly seize all the other party's cloth market and make money." ”

Yu Wenhua and thought about it, it seems that this is the truth, low-cost and high-quality products, can directly eliminate similar products in their market, the local nobles have always liked the goods of the Central Plains, but the transportation is too troublesome, and at the same time, the price has always been very high.

Yang Guang continued: "We can load our goods and transport them there, sell them there for money, and then exchange them for goods, grain and other things over there, and make business on both sides." ”

"Once the route is fixed, go more, see the value of shipping, will soon develop, of course, trade must be guarded, our maritime combat effectiveness is the basis of our trade, if you can't beat others at sea, this money is waiting to be robbed."

Yang Guang patted Yu Wenhua on the shoulder: "Brother Yuwen, you recommended yourself to be in charge of this matter, I think it's also very good, I originally planned to come, in addition to trade, I also have to be responsible for exploring the situation of the Nanyang countries, these places will become an external source of supply to nourish our Great Sui in the future." ”

On the same day, it was decided that this matter had to be done, and Yu Wenhua was temporarily appointed as the first director of maritime trade in the Great Sui, in charge of maritime trade, and when the emperor's decree was made, it was decided.

……

Yu Wenhua and returned home, but he didn't feel very happy.

When Yuwen Shu saw this, he asked him, and he told Yuwen about being appointed by Yang Guang as the head of maritime trade today, and then sighed: "Dad, you see that Li Jing has great military merits at such a young age, and I finally got the appointment and didn't go to war." ”

Yuwen angrily punched his son's head.

"Silly boy, this wealth has been smashed on your head, and you don't know it."

Yu Wenhua was in pain, rubbed his head and said, "Father, it's just to bring a caravan over, how can it be called a splash of wealth?" No military merits. ”

"Silly boy, this is a wealth that makes a lot of money, a big reputation, and a lot of military exploits."

"Oh?! Why did my father say that? ”

"One is to make money, needless to say, follow His Royal Highness the Prince, make money is certain, earn fame, you represent the Great Sui to go to sea to visit the countries of the South Seas, if you say that the same status should be Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions, if you do this well, for your father to build momentum for you in the country, you are the contemporary Zhang Qian."

Yu Wenhua and his face were full of astonishment, but he didn't expect there to be such a statement.

"As for military merits, although His Royal Highness didn't let you go to war, but going out with a lot of money like this will inevitably attract the attention of others, and there are not a few people who want to be wrong, you must follow with the troops, you have to be very small along the way, once you fight, you will be taken to the sea to fight, our navy of the Great Sui is now invincible, and when the time comes, you will not fight the battle of conquest but the battle of protecting the Great Sui, are you still afraid that there will be no military merits?"

was told by Yu Wen, Yu Wenhua immediately reacted: "Yes, yes, this is a great thing." ”
