Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

602 Human greed
Qilu, Yidu.

In the Palace of King Qi, Fang Jinzhi was holding a little doll and asked his second brother to come and see it as if he was presenting a treasure.Fang Mo was also full of joy when he saw her.No matter what kind of ball Jiangnan Manichaeism can be, Fang Jinzhi can live in peace in Yi, which leaves a way out for the Fang family.

After listening to what his second brother said, Fang Jinzhi already understood Fang Hao's purpose in coming to Yidu.He opened his mouth and said: "It's a simple matter, it depends on father's willingness to part with it." If the Manichaeism can speak up and allow the Liangshan army to capture Jinling, then just wait and see, and the custody can be won in court civil and military affairs. A big smiley face.

Fang Hao almost didn't cough up blood. At this moment, he remembered an old saying: A daughter's heart is outward.Really let go and tell the Liangshan army to cross the Yangtze River, "My good sister, are you not afraid that the Liangshan bandits who crossed the river will swallow the Manichaeism?" This is absolutely not to let go.

Fang Jinzhi pursed his lips, thinking what he said, as if they could really stop them if they wanted to. If King Lu insisted on attacking Jiangnan, could the Manichaeism really stop him?It would be better to take the initiative to bring it up, which would make both parties look good and earn a fortune.But there is no need to say this now, she can think of the second way, "Then buy it with money. My father has won most of Jiangnan, so there must be a lot of gold and silver, and there are also many antiques, inscriptions, calligraphy and paintings by famous people. , treasures, jades, etc. Just pay it to the bank and use the money to sell the goods to the weapons supervisor." She didn't believe that her father could kindly equip everyone with new equipment.

In the past, there were many weapons, military and horse transactions between the two sides, but it was more about exchanging grain, rice and silk from the south of the Yangtze River for military equipment of the Liangshan army.In Fang Jinzhi's memory, Fang La still had a lot of money in his hands that he hadn't used. "It's time like this and you still don't move the property, can you still have cubs if you keep a litter of yellow and white dead things?"

Fang Hao twitched his face. What he said was like buying military supplies from the Liangshan Army with gold and silver. No matter how hot it sounds, it is so untrue.Earlier they used grain silk!Thirty-two percent out of ten want gold and silver, which is very rare.Now all the bills are paid in gold and silver, can it work?
Later, Lu Qian came out and invited Fang Hao to a small banquet.Hearing Fang Hao's words during the dinner, he smiled loudly: "Why not?"

What was the background of the Liangshan Army earlier?What is the scale now?Before, there was no need for real money, but only food and cloth, because the Liangshan Army was short of food and cloth.But now the cotton planting in Liangshan Army continues to expand, and the output continues to increase. More and more cotton cloth will appear on the market. Just like the grain, the income and expenditure have reached a relatively balanced state!In this way, the importance of grain cloth in the south of the Yangtze River is naturally no longer so important.

Although in the eyes of outsiders earlier, Liang Shanjun's principle in the arms trade has always been barter.For example, the grain and cloth in the south of the Yangtze River, and the leather goods, cattle and horses in the northern part of the country, are not fake at all.But now, as Lu Qian said, the Manichaeism can buy swords, guns, armor, and even bows and horses from him on a large scale with money.This really made Fang Hao feel very unreal, this is a large scale.

But he didn't know that Lu Qian was thinking about how to quickly promote cotton to the whole country.He didn't intend to use administrative means, and even hoped that the Jiangnan area would plant cotton later, so that he could use the cotton cloth from the North to challenge the silk in Jiangnan and occupy the middle and low-end textile market in Jiangnan.Anyway, the Jiangnan area has a solid foundation, so it is better to let the people in the north benefit more.

Nowadays, the planting range of cotton in the north is becoming more and more extensive, and it has spread from Qilu to the Central Plains and northern Hebei.The area suitable for planting is also extensive, and almost the land under Lu Qi's current control can grow cotton.And weaving is also very easy.It is far more conducive to family production than the silk industry. The spinning machines and looms used are very simple. The single-spindle spinning machine is easy to operate and can be used by all ages. Usually, a farmer can always weave a silk in ten and a half months. After weaving it, sell it, exchange it for cotton and yarn, and continue weaving.The capital turnover is fast, the risk is small, and it is most suitable for small farmers to operate.Moreover, the cotton cloth is thick and warm, and cotton is a necessity during the winter. Its market is aimed at everyone. The potential is huge, the sales volume is unimaginable, and the requirements for craftsmanship are not high.It can be described as an 'artifact' for small farmers to subsidize their households.

In the next time, this economic crop will widely appear in the eyes of all walks of life.Its function, its value, everyone in the world will realize-that is far better than linen.

——Liang Shanjun's reserves of cotton cloth, cotton clothes, and cotton armor have been completely resolved after this year's cotton harvest, and Lu Qian has decided to allocate a part of them to the private market in the interior.

Cotton cloth and cotton will become more and more popular among the people as daily necessities.

Those textile mills that have already been built will increase in scale, and even textile mills and spinning mills will be established successively in various places, because he has asked people to research the water conservancy spinning wheel.The latter is the easiest to do, as long as the water supply can be guaranteed evenly, and the workers’ craftsmanship is not bad—dozens of rotors of different sizes are rotating, and the workers hold the cotton sliver with their fingers in one hand, and twist the lint evenly with the other hand. , turn it into a fine and uniform yarn, and with the rotation of dozens of rotors, the yarn rotates and is wound on the spindle in circles.

Then there are large quantities of professional looms. Although the efficiency of today's looms is really heartbreaking in terms of width, Lu Qian believes in the wisdom of the general public. He asked people to offer a reward.If you can improve performance, you can get a bounty.I feel that money benefits will definitely increase the creative enthusiasm of the vast number of weavers and craftsmen.

In the official history "Wang Zhennongshu", there is a multi-spindle spinning wheel with human and animal power, which can spin 32 catties of flax every day and night. The most advanced water-turning large spinning wheel has as many as [-] rotors.And Wang Zhen was a figure in the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties. He lived from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty until Zhu Hongwu proclaimed himself emperor.

Lu Qian firmly believed that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. As long as the reward is in place, the cotton textile industry will soon usher in the day when its technology will take off.

There is no need to make a foolish patent bill. Social concepts need to be matched with economic development. Development cannot be achieved in one step, but must be done slowly.Lu Qian didn't think about the patent law at all, the latter is too out of tune with the current era.

Anyway, his idea is very simple. Lu Qian wants to take advantage of the fact that the cotton planting industry in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet started, not to mention making a lot of money himself, but also rely on cotton to generate a fortune for the people in the north.

This cotton cloth was sold very little in the market last year and this year, not to mention the popularity in the Northland market, even in Khitan, Jurchen, Korea, and Japan, it is absolutely in demand.Especially the cotton coats in the style of military robes in the winter clothes, which cost [-] yuan a pair. Compared with the cost, the price is ridiculous, but even so, the supply is still in short supply.

Now that the textile factory is supervised by the government, how huge is its output?Before cotton and cotton spinning equipment spread all over the country, how much benefit could these textile factories bring to Lu Qian?This can be regarded as a monopoly industry.

It can be said that the cotton textile industry, the upstream and downstream of the entire industry are slowly developing under the watchful eyes of Lu Qian.For example, spinning and textiles, such as machinery, dyeing, clothing and transportation, are labor-intensive industries. He believes that other consumer industries driven by the cotton spinning industry will be even greater.

Who said that the industrial revolution in history was the first to germinate in the textile industry.At least from historical experience, cotton cloth is still very reliable.

Lu Qian has no shortage of force and food now, if he wants to win the world, he just needs to fight step by step.But it is obvious that whether Lu Qian's internal treasury or the national treasury, the money and food are only strong enough.

So follow the steps.It is impossible to speed up, because expanding the military requires a lot of money, food and land, and he is still short of money in the final analysis.

Lu Qian wanted to make money.Although the gold and silver on Sado Island are very rich.But human greed is endless.
