Chapter 1178: Woolen Weaving Workshop

Yang Zhi didn't care about this turmoil, he got up early in the morning and pulled the fourth sister to taste tea, the two sat behind the bead curtain, watching the maid clean the snow in the courtyard, and said some gossip;

"How can it be fine. Yang Zhi ate a piece of cake and said in a low voice: "I have been busy stealing half a day, today, I want to sit here and live an ordinary life." ”

The fourth sister stood up and raised her jade steps lightly, came to Yang Zhi gracefully, sat down against Yang Zhi and said coquettishly, "Do you want Zhao Yingluo?"

Yang Zhi glanced up and down, and said jokingly: "Don't make this kind of emotional temptation, I miss this girl a little, but today is not for her, I just want to be quiet and see how Qinzhou will go next." ”

The fourth sister smiled skillfully, and replied casually: "Don't talk about pulling down, don't say that I didn't remind you, good things are grinding, you have to cut through the mess quickly, and let Zhao Yingluo come over as soon as possible, so as not to have any accidents." ”

Yang Zhi said: "Is that something I can decide? Now that I think about it clearly, this matter is reluctant!"

The fourth sister smiled and said, "It turns out that Uncle Yang also has problems that can't be solved." ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "Don't worry! It can't be solved at present." The first thing I want to solve at the moment is raising horses, and King Yun decided to set up a herd husbandry department, which is in charge of Cao Qianli. In the Han Dynasty, 300,000 horses were raised in this area, and the place where the horses were raised was from Qinzhou to the north, including Lingzhou and Xiazhou in Western Xia and Lishi and Fuzhou in Hedong; in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were 8 squares and 48 horse herding supervisors, raising as many as 700,000 war horses; I set a small goal for King Yun to raise 100,000 horses. ”

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Ma Zheng has been valued by the monarchs of previous dynasties, and the Qun Mu Division can ensure that the power of Ma Zheng is firmly in the hands of the superiors, and it is controlled by the Privy Council in the imperial court. Yang Zhi needed war horses, not the power of the Horse Husbandry, since Cao Qianli took the lead, he was happy to worry, but the Horse Husbandry Division and the local people competed for pasture, but it was a problem that Yang Zhi had to face.

Yang Zhi explained: "I need to appease the people of Wulu, I don't want rumors to fly all over the sky, I am looking for a proper solution." ”

"Then what are you going to do?" Fourth Sister Huan had some sympathy for her man, Yang Zhi thought about it and said: "Economy, only when Qinzhou has made great progress, the government and the people will not focus on a little benefit. ”

The fourth sister knew that Yang Zhi was in business and in the realm of things, and shook her head and said: "There are some things that are not easy to say, you brought the Taiping business to solve the grain matter, but they almost monopolized the soap and soap business, didn't you find it when you came back this time? The market in Qinzhou is depressed a lot, and you are worried about this matter, unless you can conjure up other things like a trick, Mr. Gongsun is right, you have done enough, but you can't rely on you alone to solve everything." ”

After speaking, the fourth sister looked at Yang Zhi, lest Lang Jun be unhappy, but fortunately, Yang Zhi's demeanor was normal, and she didn't let the fourth sister wait too long, and directly said her own idea: "We need to let the people in Youzhou, Yanzhou and other places live a prosperous and stable life, so that everyone can believe that they can live better in the Great Song Dynasty than in Western Xia." However, for those who are disobedient, I will show my butcher's knife, because I cannot allow the people of the Great Song Dynasty to be in conspiracy and danger. ”

Fourth Sister Huan frowned slightly, she understood the meaning of Yang Zhi's words, but Qinzhou was completely inferior to Bianliang's richness, and even food was difficult to ensure self-sufficiency; Yang Zhi saw the doubts in the eyes of Fourth Sister Huan, and was not annoyed and anxious, as a traverser, he had seen the later days of Shaanxi, which was definitely a hundred times better than the current Great Song Dynasty. From a certain point of view, there is still a lot of room for growth in this area, and it depends on how you paint this picture.

What Yang Zhi is really worried about is how to get to the right step by step, if he walks too fast, he is afraid that Zhao Kai will be red-eyed and do something unexpected under the instigation of the officials in Taiyuan; if he walks too slowly, he will not be able to ensure the local people's livelihood within his plan. Yang Zhi relied on the Taiping firm in terms of materials, and knew that if he wanted to reverse the financial predicament, he could not count on a group of wolves who wanted to eat meat, and all morning, Yang Zhi was thinking about whether to cut off the claws stretched out from Taiyuan.

The fourth sister said hesitantly: "That wool weaving workshop is very controversial. ”

Yang Zhi decided to resettle the orphans and widows in Youzhou, regardless of whether the original Song people or the Xia people, Yang Zhi planned to treat it the same; Yang Zhi was actually helpless, and when he arrived in the northwest, he learned that the cotton in Guazhou and Dunhuang was also okay, and although Shaanxi planted cotton, it was difficult to increase the yield, after all, this thing and planting grain to grab the land, neither the government nor the people were interested. Even if Yang Zhi starts, it will be next year's thing, Yang Zhi can only start with wool weaving, there are many nomadic tribes in Shaanxi, especially in defeating the Western Xia peace, wool, camel hair, rabbit hair, feathers, yak hair are available, Yang Zhi placed the soldiers and Dingbei military families in Qinzhou, and can only settle those who can't survive in Youzhou, Weizhou and other places.

The measure that Yang Zhi considered was that the wool weaving workshop, Nanbeixing and Taiping Firm had made a large number of equipment, recruited all the women into the weaving workshop, and recruited all the children into the children's camp of the Transshipment Division in Weizhou. Tong Guan's Shengjie Army is first, Yang Zhi will not give people a handle, and he can not bear the financial expenses under the transfer department, but in this way, there are still people outside who are criticizing this matter, insinuating that Yang Zhi and Tong Guan are placed together.

Yang Zhi laughed, stroked the hair of the fourth sister and said: "I didn't expect you to know about this matter, it seems that there are still people who come to you to say right and wrong, it doesn't matter about that matter, the Dunzong Academy and the Transshipment Division have account books." What I'm going to do is cotton, something similar to Jiangnan kapok. ”

The fourth sister leaned on Yang Zhi's shoulder and said: "I know kapok, Dingzhou silk, Shanzhou thin silk, Bashu silk brocade, Bianliang embroidery, Suzhou and Hangzhou brocade, and there is kapok in the brocade of Hangzhou." I like silk the most, flowers, birds, and beasts are lifelike, and the thin silk is also good, each horse only weighs a hundred, and it looks like a mist, but unfortunately Zhao Yingluo sent me a little. ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "These two things are not allowed to be bought and sold in the market, only the royal people reward them, and they can't be bought with money." The next time I see Zhao Yingluo, I'll speak for you. ”。

The fourth sister slapped Yang Zhi and asked, "Are you reminding me of the difference between my identity and that of Zhao Yingluo?"

Yang Zhi gently patted the body of the fourth sister and said, "Think too much, you have to believe in us and believe in yourself." ”
