I am not Song Qinzong

"Officer, this face-sized mirror costs a hundred bucks on one side, just bring one to my mother-in-law, how can I ask for two?"

"So expensive?" Bingchen was also taken aback.

Doesn't this price mean that the two mirrors he asked for at the glass factory directly took up two mirrors in the East Palace.to collect money.Two hundred guan is cheap?

"Officials are training overseas, so it's normal not to know the price." Wang Ying explained: "A mirror that is half a person's height is worth a thousand guan, a face-sized one is worth a hundred guan, and a palm-sized one is worth ten guan.

Last month, Donggong recruited agents, only glass mirrors and glass cups, etc., and received a total of more than five million guan. "

Bingchen felt a little dizzy when he thought of the mountains of glass on Salmonella Island.

What followed was endless joy.

The East Palace suddenly increased by [-] troops. Although the strength has improved greatly, the money is also spent like mountains and seas.

Originally, everyone overseas was worried about where the military expenses for sending troops to Daozhou would be, but they didn't want to quietly, the military expenses had already been paid.

After regaining his senses, Bingchen said: "Later, you tell your parents that this mirror was distributed by the East Palace, and it did not cost money."

Wang Ying agreed.

With the thrifty character of parents-in-law and mother-in-law, seeing these two mirrors, they must be nagging non-stop.

"That's right." Wang Ying said: "Three days ago, the Crown Princess came to express her condolences and sent oil, cloth, candles and other things."

"This is His Royal Highness's care, I will keep it in my heart!" Bingchen said solemnly.

The oil is soybean oil.

The last time we recruited agents, in addition to showing the cotton spinning technology and equipment, the other was the technology of oil extraction.

With the new oil extraction technology, the oil yield can reach half.

It is much lower than later generations, but in this era, it is undoubtedly a proper artifact.

In fact, the merchants who were present had a collective orgasm.

Cotton cloth and soybean oil are basic materials related to people's livelihood.

This kind of business is enduring at any time.

So after the show, I went home immediately, recruited troops to research related technologies, and set up workshops.

"The officials don't know that in the counties outside Kaifeng City, because there are too many cloth villages and oil workshops, there is not enough manpower for farming, and some landlords have lowered the rent for the first time." Wang Ying smiled and covered her mouth.

She was just watching the excitement, but Bingchen instantly noticed the benefits.

The economy of the Zhao and Song Dynasties was developed, but the life of the people at the bottom was not easy, as evidenced by the continuous civil uprisings.

Relatively cheap cotton cloth and vegetable oil can effectively improve the quality of life of ordinary people.

In addition, large-scale and intensive workshop production inevitably competes with land for labor.

In the era of serious land mergers, what should we do if no one is farming?

It is impossible to abandon the wasteland, only to reduce the rent.

Rent reduction only reduces income, but abandoning wasteland results in no income. How to choose is needless to say?

This is also the reason why Donggong directly disclosed the technology.

The demand is too great for anyone to monopolize.

Moreover, the planting and collection of raw materials cannot be completed without a sufficient number of manpower.

What about cotton and beans robbing the land for grain?

This later generation has experience. In the early Ming Dynasty, cotton was promoted in the southeast, and grain planting turned to the two lakes. There was a proverb that "the two lakes are cooked and the world is full".

Furthermore, when there is insufficient food in the country, it is natural to turn our attention overseas.

Among other things, there are so many places in the tropics that are especially suitable for growing food, so why not grab it back?

For now, the seeds have been planted, Zhao Huan can only let them grow naturally, and have their own time to reap.

[-] frontline news

Because of the death of King Yun, Zhao Ji was in a bad mood, and the Tokyo Lantern Festival was also canceled this year, making the people very depressed.

Zhao Huan didn't pay attention to this. Kaifeng Mansion has a large population, so there are naturally many things. In addition, it has to train the army. It can be said that it is busy every day without touching the ground.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious.

After more than four months of experience, Zhao Huan's level of government affairs has risen sharply.

In the beginning, I did everything by myself, immersing myself in things every day and couldn't extricate myself.

Many times, I wake up in the morning to deal with official documents until midnight.

Sometimes, Zhao Huan couldn't help wondering if he would die suddenly.

Fortunately, insist on practicing martial arts so that his body is strong enough and he has enough energy to persevere,

Later, I learned to focus on the big and let go of the small, and only pay attention to the important ones. At the same time, I delegated power to the lower levels, which made it a lot easier.

Things in Kaifeng Prefecture are like mountains and seas, and it is even more unimaginable for a country.

Travelers are really cool, but they have never experienced it, and it is not so easy to get started.

Fortunately, Kaifeng Mansion gave him enough experience.

Of course, it's just a little easier now, far from being able to do everything with ease.

If you want to achieve the state where governing the country is like cooking small fresh food, it will take three or two years of training.

Behind the Kaifeng government office, Zhao Huan is listening to Cang Cao's judge Lao Wei about the situation of changing cotton and beans in Kaifeng government.

"Because of the support of rich households, there is an enthusiastic attitude towards planting cotton and beans in various places.

Beans have always been neglected, but there are many private reserves, so it is easy to replant.

It's just cotton, because the seed reserves are too small, and it is expected that the planting field will not exceed [-] mu next year. "

Zhao Huan pondered for a moment, and said, "Is it possible to exempt one year's land tax for those who switch to cotton planting?"

"Yes." Lowe agreed.

He was originally the head of the branch under the household department, and he also served as a county magistrate and general judge. His political achievements can only be said to be average, but he is calm and careful, so he was admitted to the Kaifeng government.
