[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

Three months later, Lujiang County.

In these three months, Ling Han has not been idle.

He devoted himself to the construction of factories in Lujiang County.And, the effect is very remarkable.

Like the first factory, Ling Han chose ceramics.

He found a large wasteland in the city, recruited a full 200 people, including masters with deep knowledge of porcelain firing technology, and a large number of ordinary workers, and then began to produce ceramics in an assembly line.

Historically, whether it was official kilns or private kilns, it was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that they began to appear in large quantities.

Before that, the production scale of ceramics was quite small, and the positioning was more inclined to family handicrafts rather than official or private handicrafts.

As for the cost of building the porcelain factory and recruiting workers, half of it was funded by the government, and the other half was jointly funded by several big families in Lujiang.

This matter was personally visited by Ling Han himself.

He didn't ask them to pay, but he just said that he planned to try this thing recently to see the effect, and asked them to help him publicize so that the factory could recruit workers—even in Lujiang, Ling Han's headquarters, the Family Alliance's control over public opinion still Not inferior to the government.

But when the aristocratic families learned that they could also contribute money to participate in this matter, they immediately expressed their willingness to become one of the shareholders.

It's not that I have any expectations for profit, but I feel that if I can use this to sell to His Highness, then there is no reason to be stingy with money.

After all, there are not many such opportunities.

Naturally, Ling Han knew the aristocratic family's thoughts, and this was exactly the result he wanted.

In the future, the factory's dividends will be based on the investment ratio.

According to Ling Han's calculations, it only takes about two years to earn back the initial capital from the profit from selling ceramics.

And after that, it will be pure profit.

It may not take three years at all, as long as the ceramic factory starts to make stable profits, the family will naturally realize the huge benefits of investing in the factory itself.

Half a month after the construction of the ceramics factory started, Ling Han began to set his sights on other factories.

Similarly, the government still contributes half, and the aristocratic family contributes the other half.

He did not visit the aristocratic family that invested in the ceramics factory, but turned to other aristocratic families outside Lujiang.

Ling Han hopes to recruit as many aristocratic families as possible.

Although the factory was built in Lujiang, the family that invested can cover the whole of Yangzhou.Choosing them will also help promote the changes in Lujiang County to the outside world.

The matter of building a factory can be handed over to others to supervise.

During this time, Ling Han was teaching in the academy in Lujiang County.

This kind of teaching is not limited to elite classes.In fact, even people who don't know a few big characters can understand why assembly line production can be more efficient.

Lujiang is Ling Han's base camp, when the academy was built, Ling Han himself preached the importance of reading here.And under Ling Han's nose, the aristocratic family naturally had to use all their abilities to help promote the benefits of studying.Therefore, the penetration rate of compulsory education in Lujiang County is the highest.

In this case, the academy itself became the best publicity outlet.Every time Ling Han goes to a certain class in a certain academy to give lectures, he also allows the students to ignore each other's status and ask questions and communicate. This will undoubtedly become a thing worth word of mouth.And the content of the class will naturally be repeatedly explained.

Therefore, today, three months later, the entire Lujiang County, whether it is aristocratic families or ordinary people, has almost seen the benefits of setting up factories.

Under such circumstances, Ling Han finally decided to bring up the matter of building a textile factory.

Weaving was originally the most important thing besides farming.Since factories can improve efficiency, textile mills should have been on the agenda long ago.

The delay in starting, the problem is that weaving has always been done by women.

Before the prosperity of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, the entire feudal society did not restrict women so much.But even so, it is still unimaginable to send women out of the house to do work in large numbers.

In fact, even Ling Han was not sure how much resistance he would face when he proposed this matter.

However, to his surprise, although there were many scholars who opposed it, few ordinary men were willing to let their wives out of the house.

However, this kind of objection did not reach Ling Han.

This means that this matter can be slowly advanced.

State Shepherd House.

Zhang Zhao sighed lightly: "Your Highness really wants to build a textile factory."

Seeing this, the confidant couldn't help asking: "My lord, are you going to write a letter to object again? Or should I go to His Highness's mansion?"

But Zhang Zhao shook his head: "Three days ago, I heard that His Highness mentioned it in his lecture at Chengbei Academy. It is called... the flowing water style of weaving. It seems to be such a saying."

"At that time, I guessed that His Highness wanted to do this."

In fact, as early as Ling Han was building a ceramics factory, when he first proposed a government-business joint venture to Zhang Zhao—although Ling Han had the right to dispose of the government's property at will, as the governor of Yangzhou, Zhang Zhao would inevitably ask him to branch.

At that time, Zhang Zhao, as a person who followed the rules, expressed strong opposition, thinking that this move was really inconsistent with the ancestral system. There has been no such precedent since ancient times, and hoped that Ling Han would take back his order.Even if it is necessary to build a factory, as long as it is fully funded by the government, Yangzhou's finances are not in short supply.

However, the purpose of Ling Han's construction of the ceramics factory is to increase the production of ceramics, which is only a trivial point, and his will is not something that Zhang Zhao can stop, so this policy is still resolutely implemented.

Some confidantes couldn't understand: "My lord, you did not hesitate to offend His Highness that day, but you must stop him one after another. Isn't this textile factory even more inappropriate now? Why do you..."

Zhang Zhao sighed again: "On the day His Highness built a ceramics factory, few people wrote a letter against it. Now that the aristocratic families in Lujiang have tasted the sweetness from the so-called government-business joint venture, how many people are willing to take the risk of offending His Highness to dissuade it?" ?”

"The girls all came out of the house to work... At least in Lujiang, I'm afraid there won't be any suspense."

Zhang Zhao knew very well in his heart what kind of position His Highness stood for in Yangzhou as a whole.

Not to mention others, even if he himself is very opposed to His Highness's reforms in the past three months, he does not have the slightest doubt about His Highness's recovery of the Han Dynasty in the future, and His Highness's own wisdom.

Even if this matter is not in line with the ancestral system, it is completely wrong.

Even, his heart would be shaken from time to time: Is it because he is really old that he can't keep up with His Highness's footsteps?Otherwise, not to mention military generals like Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, why would young scholars, such as Zhou Gongjin, who was born in a famous family and learned a lot, go all out for this matter?

Zhou Gongjin was obviously loyal to His Highness, and it was impossible for him to keep silent just because he was afraid of offending His Highness.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Zhao did not continue to write the letter.

Naturally, Ling Han didn't know what people like Zhang Zhao were thinking.

When he found that the voices of the scholars who opposed the construction of the textile factory were not as loud as expected, the matter became a certainty.

Not only that, but the scale of the textile factory will be much larger than any previous factory.

After all, everyone has to wear clothes.

As for how to get women to leave the house willingly... In the current situation, it is better to talk about how to get men to send their wives to the textile factory willingly.

It's not difficult.

Dealing with common people is much easier than dealing with aristocratic families.

First of all, Ling Han will vigorously publicize that there will only be women in all textile factories, and there will never be any men, so they don't have to worry about their wives' reputation at all.

Second, in addition to monetary remuneration, families willing to enter the textile factory will receive a preferential treatment: their sons will be given priority in enlisting in the army.

——Under Ling Han's rule, joining the army is not a terrible thing at all, but the opposite: the treatment is good, needless to say.Most importantly, because of Ling Han's own prestige, a very strange atmosphere appeared in Yangzhou: joining the army would be regarded as a kind of honor, although it cannot be compared with scholars, it is obviously much higher than that of farmers.

Mi Fu.

After leaving the textile factory under construction with Zhao Yun, Ling Han did not return home, but came here.

"Your Highness."

Mi Fang saluted, then clasped her fists at Zhao Yun and said, "General Zhao."

He thought to himself that His Highness must be here for the factory's affairs, and said: "If Your Highness has any orders, just send someone to inform the lower officials. Why do you need to come here in person?"

Ling Han smiled when he heard the words, and said: "This king's visit today is not for you."

They didn't come to see me... Mi Fang immediately realized that His Highness came to visit Youmin.

He was about to order his servants to bring the child over, but Ling Han said: "This king is here to find Mrs. Yang."

Mi Fang was stunned for a moment.

What is your highness looking for little sister for?

Ling Han said: "You must have heard that this king is building a textile factory recently. The workers in the textile factory are naturally women. For their reputation, no man can appear in the factory."

Mi Fang thought for a moment, then asked: "Your Highness wants my younger sister to be in charge of the textile factory?"

Ling Han nodded: "Not bad."

A textile factory must have a supervisor, and it must be a woman.

The Mi family is a businessman, and Mi Tu has more or less been influenced by it since childhood.

When encountering things she doesn't understand, she can ask her brother Mi Fang for advice at any time.Otherwise, Mi Fang could still come to ask Ling Han himself for advice.

It couldn't be more appropriate.

In addition, Ling Han has a layer of selfishness.

Weaving is almost second only to farming.It is difficult to change the mode of farming at present, but textile is different.

Even though it started out as a textile factory, it was bound to be a colossus in the end.Then, the person in charge of the textile factory will have a certain political status.

With his mother as a precedent, Yang Youmin will have a good role model since he was a child.

Ling Han is not sure how much he can do for ordinary people, and how much he can do for women in the world.

He can only say that on the premise of ensuring the stability of the overall situation, do as much as possible for these vulnerable groups.

But for Yang Youmin, the only blood left by Yang Zhen, Ling Han naturally had to plan a little more.

At least, when she grows up, she can fully own her own power without being attached to her husband's or natal family.

Mi Fang said: "Your Majesty, let's go and call the little girl out."

He didn't think about it that much, but he had a keen sense, which seemed to be beneficial and harmless to Mi Shi.
