387. The Great Conspiracy

Why did Gao Qing's family think of weaving clothes from wool?"

Gao Lanying arched his hand: "It's all up to Your Majesty." ”

Is it up to me?

Zishou frowned, Xiao Gao can't do it, it doesn't matter how much someone else wants to buckle the pot for me, what kind of textiles, sweaters, I have never mentioned it, I have never touched it.

Asked again, it turned out that it was the explosion in the West Garden and the pot where the sheep cart Wangxing and Shabu mutton ate too much, although he did not understand the brain circuit of the Chinese martial arts very well, Zishou still decided not to investigate the source of inspiration.

He asked instead, "I wonder how much this woolen sweater produces?"

Gao Lanying admired in her heart, and sure enough, the moment His Majesty saw the woolen clothes, he thought of the war in the south, and only a sufficient amount of woolen clothes could ensure the supply of winter clothes for the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, don't disturb, the minister has contacted the Peng family, and the Peng family has decided to build a sheep farm in the north, and will employ a large number of female workers to weave woolen clothes. ”

I... In fact, it's very troublesome, it's all out of collective production, is the next step to be the industrial revolution?

If it is just a spitting groove at this time, when Zishou sees the loom, he feels that he is afraid that there will really be a problem.

What the is this hand-patterned loom?

Which modern person has crossed over, right?

Although Zishou doesn't know much about looms, he is not blind, the textile machines used by the female workers have many strange parts, and the appearance is different from the hand-patterned loom he has seen, whether it is the famous Jenny loom He doesn't know, but he knows that it will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of weaving, and can quickly spin wool into wool, and the speed of weaving is several times higher than that of hand-patterned looms.

Zishou's face was cloudy: "What is this?"

Gao Lanying explained: "This is the silkworm loom machine, the minister was also troubled by the low efficiency of the hand-patterned loom before, but after the Peng family came, the king of Shu Du Yu also came, saying that he was ashamed of the previous matter, and gave the treasure passed down from generation to generation in Shu to the minister, this treasure is the silkworm loom machine, the minister saw that its textile efficiency was extremely high, so it made people imitate some, but it is not difficult." ”

Zishou: "....."

Silkworm Cong and Yuyu, the founding of the country is at a loss, on the blood origin, the legendary eyes like crabs protrude forward the first generation of ancient Shu Silkworm Cong, or the grandson of the ancestor, and was later sealed in Shu as Hou Bo, as the king of Shu.

Xiqi has a fully automatic unmanned vehicle like Qixiang Car, and it is not surprising that characters like Silkworm Cong have made a cross-era textile machine.

Definitely, Du Yu, the king of Shu, surrendered inexplicably, and stayed in Chaoge to raise silkworms and weave clothes to do some women's work, just to stab himself.

This knife is really deep and bone-seeing!

Gao Lanying added: "After the Peng family saw the silkworm loom, they sent more people and increased investment, and many nobles moved when they heard the news. ”

The aristocrats all saw the benefits of the woolen jacket and flocked to it, and Zishou suddenly realized that something was wrong.

No wonder Du Yu would rather surrender than stay in Chaoge, and he also said something like "I can't think about it".

It's just a joke to say that it's a backstab, and its purpose is to weave the wool.

Although the silkworm loom can greatly improve the textile efficiency, with the woolen clothes, it is the rise of a new industry.

The efficiency of the silkworm loom is too high, and it is impossible for ordinary people to spend a huge amount of money to buy, and even if they do, they cannot be self-sufficient as before, because a spinning is dozens or hundreds of people's wool.

This will definitely lead to the transformation of folk weaving into workshop-style production led by the aristocracy, and the thread will no longer be spun by itself, at most it will be bought wool and make sweaters at home.

In this way, due to the shortage of manpower in the workshop, women can also go out to work to subsidize the family, and with the blessing of the silkworm weaving machine, women's productivity has been greatly improved.

That's all good, but what about going deeper?

Efficient weaving will increase people's demand for wool, which is the cause of the famous enclosure movement in British history, sheep eating people.

At that time, the new bourgeoisie and the new aristocracy in Britain drove the peasants out of the land by violence, forcibly seized the peasants' share of land and public land, and encircled the occupied land and turned it into private pastures and farms.

How similar are the new bourgeoisie, the new aristocracy, and the aristocracy of the big merchants who are currently undergoing commercial transformation?

If left unchecked, there will inevitably be a scene similar to that of the British enclosure movement, where the aristocracy will take risks under the huge profits, not only to seize the land and enclosure, but also to forcibly pull out the crops in the fields to grow more economically profitable pastures for sheep.

If this is the case, and the grain output is reduced on a large scale, not to mention that this year's autumn harvest has only risen by 10 percent, even if it rises by a few percent, countless people will go hungry.

Conspiracy!

There are still too few of the 20 big boards, no wonder Du Yu also deliberately sent the silkworm weaving machine that has been passed down from generation to generation to make amends to Gao Lanying, he is clearly digging a grave for Dashang!

If Zishou hadn't heard of the enclosure movement, who would have seen through such a conspiracy?

Even the courtiers could only see the huge benefits brought by the silkworm looms, and saw that the popularization of woolen clothes could support the southern soldiers to fight in winter, and they thought that it would be beneficial and harmless.

And Du Yu did not hesitate to endure the humiliation of this plan, even if he saw through it, there was no way.

Stop the nobles from building workshops?

No, that's the path that your king chose for the nobles earlier, these nobles who have transformed into merchants are the last nobles to support the great merchants, if they are evil, the great merchants will lose the support of more than eighty percent of the nobles.

Don't let women spin wool?

No, it is all up to you to support women and improve the status of women, what should you think of those women who turn their faces now? The women's army may also mutiny, and there are no woolen clothes, and the southern army lacks winter clothes to fight.

But if everything comes like this, when the aristocracy is greedy for profit, the sheep will eat people, and the land will be circled, and the people's grievances will come.

Is it okay to stop the nobles from enclosing the land?

Yes, but the people will not be thankful for this, but will still hate the nobles.

Under this poisonous scheme, how to do it is not pleased, either the people's resentment is boiling, or it is the enemy of the aristocratic class.

If you were someone else, most of them would have been furious, but Zishou was... Extremely calm.

Isn't it just an enemy of the aristocratic class!

I didn't do too much before because I was afraid that it would be too dangerous and I had to keep myself safe.

But now it doesn't matter if you are completely enemies of the nobility!

After all, there is no way to do it, take a step at a time, and slaves are available, and there are slaves who are constantly snatched from all over the country as a supplement, plus the immortals in the song and the things in their own hands, there is also a certain amount of security.

Defeating the old aristocracy, overthrowing the evil forces, and making enemies with the princes and nobles is the only way to earn mediocre value.

Although grain production increased, women were recognized, slaves were loyal to the country, the rebellion was put down, and Xia Yu came out to stand on the platform, but the contradictions with the nobles intensified.

Zishou sighed again and again, the King of Shu is really a good person, and he will add forty boards to you, just don't kill him.
