Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 656

The prosperity of the wool textile industry has promoted the growth of the market and made many people see the benefits.

Wool from Suiyuan and Chahar can barely supply the entire Beijing city, which is far from enough for the huge north.

Therefore, people with a long-term vision have begun to raise sheep on a large scale to obtain the wool they need.

The common people like the warmth of wool. For the army, a large amount of wool is no less than a life-saving armor for soldiers.

This time Xuanzhen sent troops to Chahanhot because of the popularization of wool lining, so that soldiers no longer fear the severe cold, and can fight on the grassland.

In a sense, wool is a strategic material.

According to the tradition of thousands of years, the imperial court will vigorously encourage the people to raise sheep at this time, so as to control the interests of wool and intercept wool from the root.

Zhu Yixi would not use such a crude method.

He just did two things, one is to adjust the wool tariff to the lowest level, that is, [-] taxes.

The second is to release a large number of sheep to flood the market.

Tax cuts, which means higher profits.

Herding sheep, this is the businessman who is firm in his heart and unconditional.

As for ordinary people, the risk of raising sheep is too great, and it is not suitable for ordinary people who are poor and white.

Moreover, to be honest, Mongolian wool is short and thick, so it can only be said to be used as it is, and the most suitable wool has to be cultivated.

The vast grasslands in the northeast are the most suitable place for sheep.

With the prosperity of ZTE machines, there are more than [-] ZTE machines in the entire Beijing city, and many of them have moved to Tianjin to obtain cotton nearby.

The textile industry presents a thriving look.

Affected by it, the common people are willing to buy a winter coat in winter, but the price of ordinary fabrics has been greatly reduced.

The original scene of men farming and women weaving was broken.

However, since the late Ming Dynasty, with the active commodity economy, morality and ethics have further declined, and rules have been trampled step by step.

The ideological trend of commodity economy and society that worshiped money and wealth swept across, which prompted a large number of women to leave their homes and devote themselves to the textile industry.

Walking on the street, Zhu Yixi was dressed in white, like an ordinary scholar, but his handsome face and fair face still betrayed him.

After succeeding in being the eunuch in the palm of the supervisor of ceremonies, Tian Ren became more courteous, half a step behind the emperor, with respect written all over his face.

With the smooth flow of shipping, products from Lingnan and other places, such as agate, ivory, tortoiseshell, coral, pearls and other luxury goods, gradually occupied a place.

There are very few products from the West, only clocks and oil paintings, which are considered best sellers.

Especially the oil paintings, which are extremely realistic and the female characters are so beautiful that some people want to collect them and appreciate them.

At a casual glance, there is an old saying: "There is a lot more life in the market."

Yuquan Town is just a consumer town that sprang up because of the arrival of Yujia.

It needs to transport everything from outside, including food, so it can be said to be an extremely special town.

Hundreds of officials, court ladies and eunuchs, as well as a large number of imperial soldiers and horses, jointly promote the prosperity of this place.

Whenever the emperor doesn't want to come, the town will disappear.

"The arrival of the holy driver will naturally make the market lively."

Tian Ren said with a smile.

Zhu Yixi smiled, but said nothing.

It is also a consumer town, where there are extremely many clothing stores, no less than a hundred.

After walking around, I didn't encounter any bloody things, and it was impossible to talk about heroes saving the beauty.

Zhu Yixi suddenly felt bored.

Immediately, he stepped into a courtyard.

As soon as he reached the door, the sharp-eyed nurse ran over and opened the back door like a dog's leg.

After crossing the threshold, before anyone arrived, a series of crisp laughter came from my ears.

Like a wind chime, it tickles the heartstrings and makes people inexplicably happy.

The pace unknowingly became much faster.

Taking a closer look, I saw a child over one or two years old, with a small body and big eyes, walking happily on the ground with unsteady steps.

The maids who tempted him guarded him carefully, for fear that he would fall down.

"Father—" However, he seemed to be aware of it. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure. He immediately twisted his little butt, opened his arms, and ran over cheerfully.

"Yo, my son runs so fast."

Looking at the smiling little boy in front of him, Zhu Yixi was in a happy mood, picked him up, and nibbled his immature face.

It made him giggle non-stop.

Not far away, a woman full of familiarity looked at the warm scene of father and son, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Who would have thought that a few years ago, she was still a heroic female general who dared to fight and kill?

Gao Guiying did not expect that she would become like this.

Inexplicably reduced to a man's captive, the more she struggled on the bed, the more joyful she was, and as a result she conceived in October and gave birth to a son.

In the past two years, he has been favored one after another, but when the news of Li Zicheng's death came and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, the man suddenly lost all interest and just came to visit his son every now and then.

My husband is dead, but you behave yourself.

"My son is so good."

Zhu Yixi dotes on this son who is outside the palace, or in other words, as long as he is a son outside the palace, he is very doting.

In the palace, as the emperor, he can't express his emotions casually, especially when the inside and outside are staring at him.

Once he favors a certain prince too much, it may cause him to have unnecessary thoughts, and even cause the foreign ministers to misunderstand.

So the emperor can spoil his daughter casually, but he can only keep a distance from the prince.

This is the tragedy of being an emperor.

"You're back."

Gao Guiying greeted him with a faint smile, all her attention was on her son.

"kindness!"

It is impossible to talk about liking the new and disliking the old at any time, but for Gao Guiying, Zhu Yixi only has a feeling of relatives, and most of the love between men and women has disappeared.

Men, like 18 years old.

What's more, after Gao Guiying became pregnant and gave birth to a child, she changed a lot, and it was difficult to arouse his interest.

"For Yu'er, don't spoil her too much, you must know that a loving mother often loses her children."

Zhu Yixi advised.

"He doesn't have any inheritance either, as long as he is safe and sound, even if he is a prodigal son, after all, he has you, so he dare not be too active."

Gao Guiying said lightly.

"Reading and literacy has a bright future, which is much more interesting than fighting for power."

Zhu Yixi shook his head, put his son on his knees, and let him pull his clothes:

"As for Yu'er, I also have arrangements."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Guiying's face was full of vigilance, and then his eyes were full of pleading.

"Where do you want to go?"

Zhu Yixi shook his head and comforted him: "Gao Yigong is now an earl and will soon be promoted to a marquis, but he has no heirs, so he can't waste it."

"What do you mean?" Gao Guiying was inexplicably surprised.
