Purple Bamboo Pavilion,

"How's the cloth selling?" Bai Qingyin asked Qiu Wen who was standing beside her.

Since Bai Qingyin began to intervene in government affairs, Qiuwen's role has also undergone some changes. It is no longer just an ordinary personal maid, and is equivalent to the role of Bai Qingyin's secretary.

Because Bai Qingyin didn't plan to tear himself apart with Kangxi yet, he still had to take care of him, so apart from some important matters, Qiu Wen went to contact and discuss with the ministers of the former court according to Bai Qingyin's intention. .

"Go back to your mother, Mr. Zhao has already made all the arrangements." Qiu Wen replied, "Not to mention the cheapness of our cloth, and the quality is good, every time there is a stock, it will be swept away by the caravan!"

Bai Qingyin nodded, and said: "Well, it's good if the things can be sold. What kind of business this factory can do in the future depends on whether it can make money. Although even if I lose money, I can also subsidize it, but I don't want to pay for it. conducive to future development."

"And, as long as the sales of this thing are good, then our spinning mills and weaving factories can be opened all over the country, and all the people can have new clothes every year."

"Your Majesty is merciful, this slave must ask Haosheng to instruct the subordinates to do things!" Qiu Wen and Bai Qingyin packed the tickets.

Bai Qingyin waved her hand and said, "Eh, go down."

After the autumn pattern retreated, Bai Qingyin began to think about this batch of goods.

The weaving mill and the spinning mill started work one after another. Most of the goods from the spinning mill were supplied to the weaving mill. In two months, a total of more than 20 pieces of cloth were produced. There were no patterns, and they were all spun with cotton thread. People seem to be very ordinary cloth.

But in ordinary people's homes, these are all good cloth.

Bai Qingyin paid half of the current market price to the caravan, and each piece of cloth was about one and a half cents.

In this way, more than 20 pieces of cloth can be sold for more than 3 taels, and after all costs are taken into account, the net profit may be about 2 taels.

Then, after one year, these two factories alone can bring about 12 taels of income to Bai Qingyin.

This is by no means a small amount, not to mention that Bai Qingyin only has two factories now, if they open more in the future, they will definitely make a lot of money.

But how much she earns doesn't matter to Bai Qingyin at the moment, she got another 20 taels directly from Kangxi not long ago, and now she only spent part of it.

Bai Qingyin did not expect that one day, spending money would become her biggest burden.

After this period of time, the two factories in the capital have developed well, and because of them, the price of cloth in the capital is much cheaper now, Bai Qingyin thought, everyone in the capital is willing to wear The day of new clothes is not far away.

Therefore, Bai Qingyin is now preparing to build a new factory.

However, Bai Qingyin still encountered a problem, and that was the raw materials.

In ancient times, it was difficult for many people to eat, so most people would grow food in the fields, and the government also clearly stipulated that only those with permission could grow other economic crops, otherwise it would be a crime of losing their heads.

Although Bai Qingyin's two factories rely on machines to weave cloth very quickly and greatly reduce labor costs, raw materials are the key now.

Without raw materials, no matter how good the machine is, it cannot weave cloth with air!

Although Bai Qingyin can buy raw materials from Goldfinger and send them to the factory, this supply chain is too fragile. If something happens to Bai Qingyin, the factory will collapse soon.

Bai Qingyin then began to think about it, and came up with a slightly high-yield food crop, and then a high-yield cotton crop.

In this case, part of the manpower can be allocated to grow cotton, because the grain production has increased, so it doesn't matter if fewer people grow it.

Just do it, Bai Qingyin quickly talked about it.

Bai Qingyin not only came up with a high-yield food crop, in addition to the rice that has been cultivated in modern times and has a grain yield that is [-]% higher than that of the Qing Dynasty, Bai Qingyin also came up with a wheat that has a yield that is half as high as today.

After Kangxi got it, he immediately began to promote it on a large scale.

Don't say that Kangxi was not cautious, just promote it so directly, if there is a pitfall, I don't know how many people will suffer.

It's not because of Bai Qingyin's guarantee, and the reason why Bai Qingyin dared to guarantee it is because there is a new "test field" in the orchard.

The experimental field can be planted with external seeds. The conditions of the experimental field are equal to the average level of the cultivated land in the Qing Dynasty. It is probably a middle-low field, and it has an acceleration function. Bai Qingyin planted rice seeds and wheat seeds in it for a test, and got The final output is out, so it is so relieved to take it out.

A large number of rice and wheat seeds were distributed to farmers by the government. Although some people were suspicious and thought it was unreliable, it didn't hurt.

But the various prefectures in the capital trusted Bai Qingyin 100%, and rushed to plant these rice and wheat, because they had already tasted the sweetness from the magic fruit produced by the vaccinia method and Bai Qingyin.

------

Speaking of the cowpox method, because of Bai Qingyin's guarantee, the heirs of the princes, nobles and ministers were all planted with the cowpox, and the effect of the cowpox was really good.

Children with strong bones, except for a slight burn for two days, are basically fine, while those with weaker bones are just a little more uncomfortable than those with stronger bones. As long as they are well taken care of, they can survive.

In the end, Bai Qingyin didn't make a move at all.

And this result was quickly spread to the people, and the people gradually began to believe in the vaccinia method.

When Kangxi saw this, he planned to introduce the vaccinia method directly to the people, and let the people find vaccinia by their own doctors.

Bai Qingyin was taken aback by this decision. Smallpox was not something like smallpox that the government took the lead in promoting "vaccines" throughout the Qing Dynasty. Instead, they decided to spread the method directly and let the people decide whether to plant it or not. You Are you kidding her?

Bai Qingyin immediately objected, saying that a "vaccination center" would be built in every county.

All people, unless they have received human pox, must go to the vaccination center to be vaccinated.

Because of the current situation and system of the Qing Dynasty, Bai Qingyin did not intend to allow the government to use tax revenue to vaccinate the people for free, and each person can charge some fees appropriately.

When Kangxi heard Bai Qingyin's idea, he didn't object immediately as before, but began to ponder whether the benefits outweigh the harms or the harms outweigh the benefits.

Although there will be a large amount of expenses in a short period of time to establish a vaccination center, the income will continue to flow in the future. He Daqing has a population of tens of millions, and it will increase a lot every year. Even if there is no vaccination, he only earns dozens Copper plate, that will be a lot of money every year.

Moreover, this move can eliminate the feared smallpox to the greatest extent, which is a merit, and it is one of the best merits in history books. Even compared with Dayu's flood control, it is not much.

After thinking it over clearly, Kangxi agreed to Bai Qingyin's proposal, and began to order that all the county towns set up a "vaccination center", and the vaccination centers began to recruit doctors, and the doctors who entered the vaccination center would be officials in the future. Some of them are small officials of the eighth rank, and the rest are either of the ninth rank or from the ninth rank.

Although this official position is small, it is enough for those folk doctors to grab their heads.

After all, from ancient times to the present, who would not want to be a civil servant and hold a solid job?

Moreover, in ancient times, the status of an official was completely different from that of ordinary poor people. Even if you were a small official from the ninth rank, you could still have some privileges.

Kangxi agreed so readily, which was somewhat unexpected to Bai Qingyin, but it was a good thing, and Bai Qingyin was quite happy.

But because of this incident, Bai Qingyin found that she still has many limitations, compared with Kangxi.

Although Bai Qingyin now bears the title of holy imperial concubine and goddess, and has overwhelmed Kangxi several times, but after Kangxi made the decree, she saw the real gap between herself and Kangxi.

Bai Qingyin's voice could only spread from the capital a little bit. If you want to do something, you have to plan carefully and take it step by step, but Kangxi is different. As long as he thinks clearly and makes a decree, officials all over the country will immediately take action.

This is probably the ability of ancient kings.

Bai Qingyin is very envious of this, if she can do the same, then what she wants to do will definitely go smoothly.

But Bai Qingyin was only envious and regretful for a moment, and then she was relieved.

Bai Qingyin has a lot of things to do, which will cause great changes in the Qing Dynasty. If it really goes smoothly like Kangxi, then there may be big troubles, so it is safer to go step by step.

×× County,

The yamen servant posted the notice about the "Vaccination Center" at the gate of the city, and many people made a fuss in order to come up, saying in a hurry——

"What is written on this notice?"

"Officer, but the food price has changed again?"

"Don't let the price of food go any higher. No matter how high it is, our whole family will starve to death. Alas..."

"Silence! Silence!"

The yamen servant raised his eyes and yelled at the crowd twice.

Hearing the yamen servant's words, the group of people surrounding the notice immediately fell silent and looked at the yamen servant.

The yamen servant pointed to the notice and said, "This notice says that it is about the new 'vaccination center' in our county!"

"Smallpox is rampant, and many people have died of it. Although vaccination has long been possible to prevent it, because vaccination is too expensive, many people cannot afford it. In addition, there is a great threat to their lives, so many people do not go. Vaccinating smallpox and smallpox have always troubled my people in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the holy emperor and the gods cried out, so the gods gave the vaccinia method, which is safer than the previous varicella method. The vaccinated pox only burns twice, and life is in danger Not big."

"The vaccinia method is not only safe, but also the emperor established a 'vaccination center' in order to allow everyone in the Qing Dynasty to be vaccinated and stay away from smallpox. From now on, all people who have not been vaccinated and over three years old, regardless of gender, can Go to the 'Vaccination Center' to get vaccinated, and the vaccination only costs three coins, which is several times cheaper than vaccination!"

After the yamen servant finished speaking, he left the gate of the city, leaving only a group of people to continue watching.

"Oh, this cowpox method I heard from my uncle's third cousin's sixth aunt's seventh cousin's niece and niece said that it was obtained by the holy emperor and noble concubine who descended from the gods. The effect is very good. Many wealthy families now All children are vaccinated with cowpox, not human pox!"

"Three coins? I went out to work a few years ago. I was afraid of contracting smallpox. I spent two taels of money to find a doctor who planted human pox, and I almost died! Lost! Lost!"

"I thought it was expensive before, so I haven't vaccinated yet. Every time I go out to do work, I'm afraid that something will happen. Now I can get vaccinated for three coins, and it's a god-given, safer vaccinia. Then I Hurry up and plant one tomorrow!"

"What vaccinia method? It's gaudy! This human pox method is passed down from the ancestors! It's the best method. All the elder brothers in the palace are planted with varicella! Can it be better to replace it with vaccinia? Don't lose it in vain. Three coins!"

"That's right, the ancients said that there is no good product that is cheap! This cowpox method is so cheap, if it is useless and very dangerous, then what should I do..."

"Bah, bah, bah! This was given by the gods, how could it not be useful? You two don't make alarmist remarks here, be careful of God's punishment! You must know that there was a minister before who was punished by God because of his words. He was punished by God. The big stone tablet was smashed to death!"

"I'll just talk, talk is not enough..."

"Oh, don't talk about it! Can you talk about the gods? If the gods hear it, you will be miserable!"

……

No matter what the common people think, but in the end, those who support and believe in the vaccinia law still stand in the majority.

After all, this is the method that those ministers, royal family and nobles all use for their own children. It is impossible for them to send their children into danger. This method of cowpox will definitely be more effective than the previous method of human pox.

What's more, the vaccinia method is cheap!

The vaccination center opens in autumn, which is a good season for vaccination.

Therefore, in the first few months of opening, the people in the institute were very busy, and as time went by, the skills of these people's vaccination became more and more proficient.

At the beginning, when I just learned how to vaccinate from the imperial doctors sent by Kangxi, these doctors were very careful because they were afraid of accidents, and they could vaccinate at most twenty people a day, but now, these doctors give at least [-] people a day. Hundreds of people were vaccinated.

Moreover, several months have passed, and the first few batches of people who were vaccinated have survived.

Basically everyone survived, and the county with the most deaths only suffered two deaths, and it was because these two people did not follow the doctor's advice and ate food indiscriminately.

------

While the vaccinia work was in full swing, the capital received bad news.

"My Majesty, locust plagues have occurred in many places in Datong and Shuoping Prefectures, and the plagues are likely to spread."

The Minister of the Ministry of household affairs reported.

Kangxi frowned. He remembered that the plague of locusts finally covered the whole of Shanxi, but it brought a lot of losses to Shanxi. However, he didn't have a good solution to this natural disaster. He could only go to: " Immediately arrange for disaster relief, and allocate 50 taels of silver from the treasury for disaster relief."

"Yes, the old minister obeys the order." The Minister of the Household Department received the order and said.

"Your Majesty." At this time, a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the locust plague becomes rampant, the people will suffer! No matter how much money is allocated for disaster relief, it is not a good way, but the old minister has a word, maybe this locust plague can be solved. "

"Oh, what can Aiqing do? Let me tell you." This minister is a "conservative" who is firmly on Kangxi's side, so Kangxi is also willing to listen to what he has to say.

"The plague of locusts can also be called a natural disaster. The power of mortals cannot be matched, but if it is divine power, it is not impossible!" The minister said, "The holy emperor and noble concubine can communicate with the gods, so it is better to ask the holy emperor and noble concubine to take action and let the gods accept these things that are raging in the world and disturbing the world." Locusts that the common people are destitute of life!"

"...This is a good idea." Kangxi thought about it for a while, and thought it was a good idea. Anyway, Bai Qingyin is now a "goddess" known throughout the Qing Dynasty. If Bai Qingyin can really put an end to this plague of locusts , showed a miracle, but it was just to add some light to her already great reputation, but Daqing can avoid a disaster, Ruobai Qingyin can't accept these locusts...

That Bai Qingyin's reputation among the people will drop a lot!

Kangxi started to have bad ideas, but said with some embarrassment in his mouth: "But I don't know if God will agree, will this embarrass the imperial concubine..."

"I feel that God must be merciful, how can you disagree?" Another "conservative" stood up and said.
