History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

On Xiao Han's day in the capital, two carriages entered the city from Chaoyang Gate under the protection of a team of guards.

After entering the city, they went directly to Shichahai, separated in front of Di'an Gate, and one of the carriages stopped in front of Di'an Gate, and soon entered the imperial city.

When the carriage arrived at Shenwumen, it was replaced by a sedan chair, and the sedan chair went to Yuqing Palace without stopping.

Yuqing Palace is not big, but it is relatively close to Qianqing Gate.The concubine got the news early, and as soon as she walked out the door, she saw the prince hurrying towards the study.

The princess followed and wanted to pay her respects. She walked to the door of the study, retracted her feet, and led the maid beside her to hide behind the wall. After a while, a handsome eunuch came to the study and knocked on the door. He was quickly called into the study behind the door.

It didn't take long for a foul sound to come from inside.

Although the Crown Princess had heard about this situation for a long time, it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

The maid at the side looked at the Crown Princess worriedly, and the Crown Princess turned around with an ugly expression, "Let's go!"

But she still has to help the prince hide this matter, the husband and wife are one, if this matter breaks out, she will not look good.

I only hate her husband, who is not taboo about meat and vegetables in bed.

The prince returned to the capital quietly, the news quickly spread to those who cared, and the fourth master naturally heard it too.

Although he was in Texas before, he didn't know what happened that day. Not only did he issue a gag order, but it also made Han Ama so angry.

He only knew that Suo'etu called Dezhou from the capital, and was severely reprimanded by Khan Ama, and then the prince was ordered to recuperate in Dezhou, and Xiao Shisan replaced the prince to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices.

What happened to the prince?Is this related to Xiao Shisan?Fourth master didn't know anything.

Later, he wanted to inquire in Texas, but was quickly warned by Khan Ama, and he did not dare to inquire again.

But it was also at that time that he saw the crisis of the prince and Khan Ama's dissatisfaction with the prince. He felt that the prince's position seemed not so stable.

Minning didn't know anything about government affairs, but learned from the newspapers that there was an undercurrent. At least a few newspapers in the capital began to promote the political achievements of the princes intentionally or unintentionally. It was strange that the prince's side did not take any action.

My own newspaper can't read it, and I once advocated Fourth Master, but it was quickly stopped. Things like being a bird in the first place can't be done now!

The new year comes in this eerie atmosphere.

After the Chinese New Year, the emperor had his [-]th birthday. In the first month, a group of academicians flattered and entered the "Longevity Without Borders" screen in advance. Unfortunately, the emperor was not interested, so he declined and was only included in the book.

A group of grand scholars who flattered and slapped the horseshoes withered suddenly, but Suo'etu behind him didn't know well, knowing that he was probably in trouble.

The Longevity Festival on March [-] is coming as usual, this time it is Daqing, and the whole capital is active in a sea of ​​joy.

Color paintings are painted everywhere on the main streets, and they are wrapped in colorful cloths, etc., singing and dancing everywhere, which is more lively than the previous Lantern Festival.All officials should at least have some money to buy firecrackers to congratulate.

The wealthy mansion even invited several teams of lion dancers to dance in front of the gate, attracting many people to watch.

Various newspapers were also reporting on the grand occasion of the Longevity Festival, advocating the arrival of a prosperous age. Some reporters even used their identities to enter the palace, described the details of what they saw, and reported them in the newspapers.

Minning's Hongshuikeng Garden also held a celebration, and during the three-day holiday, everyone who entered the zoo was free.

Various shops also hung up banners, in order to celebrate the coming of the Longevity Festival, all products will be sold at a discount.

Many merchants have learned the same thing. Although the price has been reduced a lot, they sell the same amount and earn more money than in the past month.

Fourth master and Fujin entered the palace to celebrate their birthdays, and Minning was not idle at the mansion, setting up an incense table and leading others to kowtow in the direction of the capital.

After they dispersed, she led a group of Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard to the city gate.

Right at the gate of the city, large colorful balloons were set up, and many people followed into the bamboo baskets. The flames inside the bamboo baskets rose, and the candlelight was driven upwards by the balloons, and soon floated to a height of [-] meters above the ground.

The group of people above screamed, and the group of people below were also very happy.

"It's my turn soon! I didn't expect that I would be able to go to heaven one day!"

There are many timid people in this era, and there are also many bold people.Seeing that there is a hot air balloon that can carry people to the sky outside the nine gates in the newspaper, they all went to the gate of the city closest to their home to watch the excitement.

Although it costs 10 Wen to go up, and you can only stay in the sky for [-] minutes, most people feel that the money is worth it.

Flying so high, you can directly see the scene in the distant imperial city, which is very attractive to the people who have lived in the capital all their lives and have never seen a large inner city.

There is such a glorious thing that can be worth talking about for a lifetime.

After Minning came to the team with the women behind him, a group of women who only stayed in the backyard had long been out of touch with the outside world. After coming out this time, they saw all kinds of new things that they had never seen before. All of them stared wide-eyed for fear of missing them.

Min Ning only dared to take these people out to experience while Fourth Master and Fujin were not around.On weekdays, these princesses go out, but Fujin has to agree.

For example, Na Gege has seen the situation on the road since he entered the fourth master's backyard and when he moved out of the palace.She has been nesting in her small courtyard all these years.

This time Minning proposed to take them out for a stroll, many people were tempted, and some refused.

The people brought out were naturally willing to believe in Minning. Seeing the tall balloon, many people opened their eyes wide.

Feitian is an irresistible temptation for anyone. Minning asks people to discuss it. Those who are willing to go up will line up, and those who are not willing to wait at the side, wait for a group of people to experience it before moving to other places.

This time Minning brought people here because he wanted to support his own business. He thought that there were not many people willing to take a hot air balloon.

Unexpectedly, when I came here, I found that many people were willing to go up and try it, and some people who were worried about their safety also came down safe and sound, and these worries turned into eagerness to try.

After each hot air balloon has risen to the sky, it will be replaced with another one, and the original one will be put aside for inspection and refueling.

Although there were not many people in the line, there were only four balloons in this area in rotation, but it was already half an hour before Minning and the others were lined up.

A total of seven people were divided into two teams. Minning went up first, and after going up, the person who was guarding the stove slowly increased the firepower, and the hot air balloon followed suit.

The two Grid next to each other hugged and screamed in fright, while Minning leaned on the outer rail and looked down.

The hot air balloon flew higher and higher, and quickly passed the city wall to see the scenery inside the city wall. She looked in the direction of her home, Baylor Mansion.

He quickly saw the two mansions next to each other, and then pointed it out to others.The concubine Gege, who was still a little scared at first, immediately looked over with wide eyes, with an excited look on her face.

When the hot air balloon flew higher and higher, I saw the roof of the palace from a distance. A group of people all looked over, and all they saw was the scenery around Shenwumen. .

Standing in this kind of place and looking at the scenery in the palace, one can really see all the mountains and small ones at a glance, no matter which one it is, one is satisfied.

After seeing the scenery of the palace, everyone looked to other places and saw a few very colorful and prosperous places on the street. They asked Minning if he could go there and have a look.

Minning agreed on the spot, and after the hot air balloon landed, a group of people stood on the ground with some limp feet, but they were all very happy.

Growing so big, I really don't have much experience today.

These people all have a good impression of Minning, at least in other people's mansions, but none of them are willing to take care of their low-status concubines.

A large group of family members hang out in the capital, and Minning pays as a local tyrant, making sure everyone is happy.

After returning home, a group of people felt lost, and Minning said proudly that he would take them out on Halloween next year.

After fourth master came back and heard about this matter, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, Fujin called Minning over and sneered at him.

It doesn't matter to Min Ning, a group of young girls are bored in the backyard all day, and they can't help being depressed. Going out for a while can also relieve their mood.

At least for the next month, the weather will be calm, and occasionally a few women will gather together to talk about what they saw and heard in the capital that day.

In April, the atmosphere in the entire capital suddenly became serious. The 23rd was Yuan Bao's first birthday.

At this juncture, the mansion didn't dare to make a big show, and only quietly set up a few tables, some relatives who wanted to come to the door were rejected, and the whole family surrounded him to catch up.

Yuan Bao, who is one year old, can already walk a few steps and has learned to call her mother.

Minning thought it was calling him, but fourth master thought it was calling him.The two quarreled twice, only to find out that Yuan Bao called everyone his mother.

Well, he only learned this one word.

When catching the week, the little guy sat in the small car and kicked his feet, and the small car followed suit.

Hong Yun on the side saw that he was about to pull the car, and made it clear that he wanted to sit on it and try it.

Hongyun is relatively thin and weak. Although he is more than three years old, he is actually only a head taller than Yuanbao.

He walked late, and Li Gege watched him closely before he was three years old. He usually only let his nanny hold him when he walked. It was at the beginning of this year that he officially started to learn to walk.

When I saw the baby walker this time, I naturally wanted to ride on it.

This toddler walker was acquired only two days ago. Minning would not let Yuanbao use it before his first birthday. After all, learning to walk is a gradual process.

It is not good for the child to use the baby walker directly.Yuan Bao was able to walk a few steps while leaning on the wall, and only then did he put him in the baby walker.

Seeing that Hong Yun wanted to make a small car, and Yuan Bao had already sat enough and reached out to be hugged by an adult.

Minning took his son out of the baby walker and gave the car to Hong Yun.

Yuanbao is a horse, so he wore a pony outfit, which made him look handsome and handsome.

Minning stuffed him with a small horsewhip that was as long as a palm, holding Yuan Bao in his hand, and shouted anxiously, "Mom!"

This sentence was very loud, Minning gave a thumbs up and praised, "Okay, baby, say it again."

There are women with children, and the room is peaceful for a while.

Hong Yun had already sat in the small car, kicked his feet and ran around the house quickly, causing his nanny to keep chasing around him.

"Yuan Bao, this is the pony I gave you!" Hong Hui ran over, holding a rocking horse in his arms, and Min Ning recognized at a glance that it was bought from the toy store in her home.

After all, such a unique rocking car is only sold in Qibao Box.

But the toys in the Seven Treasures Box are not cheap, even a small wooden horse costs dozens of taels of silver.After all, Qibao Box is aimed at children from upper-class families. Although new toys will be imitated by other toy stores soon after they are made, owning a toy produced by Qibao Box can be said to be the dream of all children in Beijing.

Seeing his son's stupid motionlessness, Minning took the little wooden horse over and smiled kindly, "Thank you big brother, Yuan Bao likes it very much." He said, holding his son's hand and waving, " Come thank you big brother."

Yuan Bao continued to grin, a trace of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, and landed on the saliva pocket under his neck.

The child has been drooling since teething, and it has been drooling for several months. Minning even wondered if the water would flood Jinshan.At least a dozen bibs were made for him, but they were not enough for one day at first.

However, during this period of time, there was less saliva, but it would still flow out if I didn't pay attention.

Hong Hui pursed his lips and smiled embarrassedly, and quickly ran away again.

After a while, Fujin and Fourth Master came in hand in hand, and Minning saluted the two of them with Yuanbao in his arms.

"Sister An, please hurry up. Today is Elder Brother Yuan Bao's full week banquet, and I can only invite the family members to a small gathering. I am really ashamed of you for not being able to make a big one."

Minning said with a smile, "There is no need to make a big deal about the family of a child. As long as he grows up healthily, I will be satisfied."

The harmony between wives and concubines made fourth master very satisfied.

He waved at Minning, "Hold Yuanbao over here, and start grabbing!"

A mat has been placed in the middle of the main room, and the mat is covered with various small objects, such as seals, books, abacus, coins, toys, etc. are indispensable, and some things that are taboo are not put on it.

Minning also put his own seal on it, this seal was related to tens of millions of family property, Fourth Master knew it, he glanced at her and then looked away.

Others didn't know the importance of this seal, and thought Minning was just doing it on a whim.

After putting Yuanbao on the ground, Minning came to the opposite side of the mat and began to tease him, "Yuanbao, come to Erniang."

Yuan Bao can be regarded as a crazy individual, he gets excited when he sees many people, he thinks that Minning is playing with him, so he doesn't leave, he just crawls over on all fours on the ground.

For him, he is the main way of walking.

When I climbed to the middle, I found a circle of obstacles, pushed them away one by one, continued to move forward, and then saw a very familiar thing.

Hey, isn't this Ma's thing?

Yuan Bao grabbed a bloodstone seal, the bright red was very eye-catching.

Someone next to him sang, "Okay, my little elder brother has grabbed the seal, and I will definitely be an official in the future!"

For the emperor's grandson, official luck is just the icing on the cake, but it is also considered a happy event.

When someone coaxed him to grab other things, the little guy suddenly became unhappy, his mouth curled up and he started to cry!

Minning hurriedly picked him up, "Okay, let's not cry, just catch it once." Or put the seal he was holding back on the mat, and put his own stamp on the mat. hand.

The corner of Si Ye's mouth twitched at this little move, "Goodness you An Jia, the son I trained so hard caught that seal, but in the end I asked you to change it back."

After Catch Zhou, Min Ning was severely taught by the fourth master, and he couldn't get up for two days.

It was May in a few days, and a major incident happened suddenly in May. Suo'etu was charged with treason and arrested, and was starved to death in the prison within a few days.

This news instantly erupted into a huge topic in the capital, but it was quickly suppressed by the court, and no one dared to talk about it.

Minning shuddered when he heard the news. If there was no order from the emperor, who would dare to kill Suo'etu?After all, there is still a prince outside, so instead of looking at the face of the monk, you have to look at the face of the Buddha.

When Suo'etu died, it was officially announced that the prince had lost his arm. The princes who had been eyeing the prince before now became more blatant and wanted to pull the prince down.

A series of articles criticizing the prince were published through the newspapers, and all the dirty and smelly ones were poured on the prince, and the prince did not sit still, and then refuted with newspapers.

All of a sudden, the literati in the entire capital started a war of words, which dazzled the common people.

After all, the prince was alone, and he was gradually declining.

But at this time, the imperial court issued a decree, which made the newspaper no longer report this matter.

In fact, the emperor issued an order that the officials were not allowed to report this incident, and the newspapers naturally changed their direction. For a while, the newspapers were full of trivial matters, as if the previous war of words had never happened.

On the third day of June, the emperor went on a tour to the north, and this time he brought the crown prince, the eldest prince and the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth young sons.

As for the fourth master, these adult princes all stayed in Beijing.

In the eyes of others, the emperor brought the prince with him just to express that the position of the prince is still stable.

But after knowing the history, Minning knew that it was because the emperor had a sense of crisis, and he brought the prince by his side to be able to monitor him.

Some people may have noticed it, but they quickly put it behind them. After all, the emperor's love for the crown prince was the same as before, and no one saw any signs of the crown prince falling out of favor.

This time, fourth master was left behind, and he no longer felt aggrieved as in previous years. He stayed in the capital and began to deal with the household affairs, such as introducing a new accounting method.

The first is to take the household officials to the accounting class in Zhuangzi for training for a period of time.After learning some basic knowledge, go to the factory's huge accounting room for an internship for a period of time, and be sure to learn some advanced accounting methods.

This period will take several months.But fourth master was confident, especially after discovering the common mechanical calculators in the tent.

This kind of calculator was improved by those craftsmen after being reminded by Minning.

This calculator is a bit more advanced than the original one.

She once saw it in a folk museum, which was the curator's private collection, and it is said that it has been with him for a long time.Minning had seen how he operated it, and then gave a general description to the craftsmen, asking them to study in this direction.

This kind of calculator is at least 100 years more advanced than the previous calculators, and the cost has been greatly reduced. Although one set costs at least a hundred taels of silver, the price is completely affordable for Minning.

So she spent a lot of money to prepare one for every shop.

After seeing such a calculator, the officials of the household department couldn't walk on their feet. This is much more convenient than letting them use an abacus. gives the final result.

You should know that when you use an abacus to calculate accounts, it is easy to make mistakes, but this kind of calculator will not.

The officials of the household department looked at the fourth master eagerly, and the fourth master waved his hand and moved the two sets away.

When Minning received the news, he was a little bit dumbfounded, and then he donated ten sets to the Ministry of Households generously.

Although it is said that the household department is in charge of taxation, it does not directly communicate with the merchants below. Minning's taxes in the capital are all paid to the Shuntian mansion, and then handed over to the household department in Yushun mansion.

However, the donation of calculators to the Ministry of Households made Shuntian Mansion unhappy. Lin Yuan hurriedly made up for the omissions and donated five more calculators to Shuntian Mansion.

These two government departments started to use calculators, which boosted the sales of calculators. Those merchants who were not short of money also caught up with the fashion and bought one or two calculators back.After a few days, I found that the speed of calculating the accounts was faster. The accounts that could be completed in half a month can be done in a few days with the calculator, and I came back to buy a few more.

There was also the very well-informed person who learned that the Ministry of Households actually entrusted a school to help train officials, and wanted to learn to use new accounting methods.

Those people naturally wanted to keep up, so they invited Lin Yuan to dinner and asked if they could bring their accountant to help with the training.

After Lin Yuan reported the matter to Minning, Minning gave instructions, "Have someone set up an accounting class in the outside world to teach new accounting methods. One semester is three months, and there are two classes in summer and winter a year. Open the semester, and then register to recruit students. As for the tuition fee, three liang of silver per person. As for those businessmen, if they want and want to learn this method of bookkeeping, they should send the accountant to learn, the tuition fee is indispensable .”

Although Lin Yuan was a little puzzled, why it wasn't free like those schools for repairing toys, but he did it anyway.

As a result, there were quite a lot of people who signed up for the first semester, most of them were accountants stuffed by various businesses, and a few were students who stayed in the capital.

Now all the students in the capital know that there is a place dedicated to teaching people to learn to calculate accounts, and after learning, they will be assigned. Although the salary of the assigned job is not high, it includes food and housing.If you save a little, you can have a lot of money in a year.

After all, since the advent of cheap lead printing, there has been no market for students to make money by copying books.

Even if you want to write letters, it is cheaper to write letters in other bookstores, and the few jobs that are available are snapped up by a group of students.

The rest of the talents submitted manuscripts to the newspaper, but sometimes they could get the manuscript fee, but sometimes they were rejected several times in a row.Because of the uncertain salary, this caused some people to give up and urgently need to find a permanent job.

There are also some clever people who go directly to the newspaper office to sell some news. After the newspaper office receives the news, it will pay according to the value of the news.

There are also some people who see that the new bookkeeping method will be popularized in the future, they feel that this is an opportunity, and they also come to sign up. After they finish their studies, they can find a business at random and they will definitely earn back their tuition fees.

The emergence of newspapers has broken the hard barrier between literati and businessmen. Some businesses are willing to spend a lot of money to find a literati to write advertisements and then publish them in newspapers.This also breeds a group of literati who specialize in dealing with businessmen.

Some self-respecting nobles are unwilling to contact businessmen for fear of getting the smell of copper.But some people don't care. Originally, they want to get promoted and make a fortune by studying, and the road to become an official is currently invisible, so naturally they don't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune.

So literati have also developed several types, one is to deal with businessmen from time to time, and the other is to concentrate on writing books, hoping that one day they will become famous through the ages through books.There is also a kind of tight living on manuscript fees.Some felt that the imperial examination was hopeless, so they learned some methods of accounting and took refuge in merchants.

There are all kinds of people, and without exception, these are the people who really face the impact of newspapers.

For the good and bad brought by hugging, the emperor has always sent people to pay attention to it in recent years, and is ready to attack with all his strength whenever it is out of his control.

But in general, there are many good sides, and there are not all bad sides. Some people want to increase sales, so they will make up some topics that break through the lower limit. Generally speaking, they are all under the control of the court.

Slowly, the emperor also relaxed, because of the emergence of newspapers, he began to gradually relax his speech, but it did give the court greater control over speech.

In the past, when a rumor appeared, it was first spread in the market, and when it spread more and more, the imperial court could not extinguish it and could only let it develop.Now, the first rumors to appear are in the newspapers. As long as they appear, the newspaper can be ordered to rectify, and other newspapers can also try to make up for it or simply change the topic.

This is what the imperial court is most satisfied with.

On June 24th, Prince Yu Fuquan was seriously ill. It was already the second watch when Fourth Lord received the news, so he changed into plain clothes and went to Prince Yu's mansion by car with Babeile next door.

As soon as he entered, he saw the third prince coming out of the room with a serious expression on his face.

Babeile asked quickly, "How is uncle?"

Babeile has a close relationship with Baotai of Prince Yu's Mansion, and Prince Yu also gives him some support, which is the biggest confidence for him to dare to think about that position.

If Yuqin is gone, it will be the biggest blow to him. Although Baotai will fully support him when he succeeds to the throne, it is different for Han Ama when his brother is on the throne and his nephew is on the throne.

Even if Baotai inherits the throne, the palace will definitely lose its previous favor. Prince Yu Fuquan is the magic needle of the palace!

The third prince shook his head, "Not very good."

Babeile staggered a bit, and hurried into the house.

The third prince said to the fourth master, "You should go in and have a look too. The imperial doctor said that Prince Yu might not survive tonight."

Fourth Master looked serious, took a deep breath, nodded, "Okay, I understand." He walked in as well.

Inside, Prince Yu's children, together with their wives and concubines, were sobbing around the bed.

The fourth master looked forward and saw that Lao Ba was holding Prince Yu's hand, crying miserably.

The fourth master was looking at Qin Yu along those skinny hands. At this time, Prince Yu's face had shrunk a lot, there was no trace of blood on his whole face, and he was also unconscious. If his lips didn't move occasionally, he might have thought that Already a dead man.

Fourth Master's face was full of solemnity, which was incompatible with Babeile's crying appearance.

At least in Baotai's eyes, Babeile is the one who really feels sad for him, Ama.

Fourth Master sighed a long time, said his condolences to Baotai, and went out.

After arriving outside the door, he looked at the stars in the sky like the third prince. Neither of them spoke, as if they were quietly waiting for something.

After about an hour like this, the sound of crying and shouting came from the room, and the two looked at each other, knowing that Prince Yu had gone.

Fourth master did not return to the mansion that night, and came back early the next morning, changed into filial attire and went to Prince Yu's mansion, and ordered everyone in the mansion to change into filial attire.

On the 28th, the news came that the emperor had ordered all the princes to visit Prince Yu. Obviously, he did not know that Prince Yu had gone, and the next day came the news that the emperor had suspended his northern tour and returned to Beijing.

On July [-]st, the emperor rushed back to Beijing. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he went to Prince Yu's mansion to cry for Prince Yu Fuquan, and ordered all the adult princes in Beijing to wear filial piety for Fuquan.

What was surprising was that when the emperor came back, he brought the eldest prince, but the prince was left in Saibei.

Thoughtful minds are floating, but the most important thing right now is the funeral of Prince Yu.

Sheng Jia came to mourn for three days in a row, which shows the emperor's trust in this elder brother. This kind of brotherly love is probably only comparable to the fourth master and the thirteenth elder brother.

After the funeral on the fifth day of the fifth day, the emperor on the sixth day continued his northern tour and ordered the princes to continue guarding the capital.

After the emperor left, the capital, which was noisy because of Prince Yu's funeral, became quiet again, and Prince Yu's mansion gradually disappeared from the eyes of the people in the capital because of the new funeral.

The capital returned to calm, but Minning received a letter from Jiangnan again. Since the purchase of cloth was blocked last time, this time it was completely blocked.

The cloth workshops that had signed the contract tore up the contract one after another, refused to sell the cloth to them, and refused to pay compensation.

The last time it was just a contest with the prince, although most of the cloth shops in the south of the Yangtze River did not dare to sell the cloth, but under the high price, some cloth shops secretly sold the cloth.

But this time is different from the last time, this time it was ordered by the Jiangning Weaving Bureau.In the south of the Yangtze River, no one in the cloth business would dare to oppose the Jiangning Weaving Bureau.

With this order, even those small fabric shops shut them out.

After the lessons learned last time, they did not dare to control the source of raw materials, and bought a large number of fields and factories in the south of the Yangtze River.

It’s just that the large and small weaving industries in the south of the Yangtze River have not made too many strides. For example, the latest looms, semi-automatic hand-operated looms, can be hand-operated or driven by water. Produce cheaper and denser cloth.

Everyone knows the impact of this kind of machine on the manufacturing industry. If it is really done, how many cloth companies will be cleaned and bankrupt.

After Minning learned about it, she became cruel. She originally wanted to leave a way for Jiang Ning, but she didn't expect the other party to cut her way directly, so don't blame her for being merciless.

Directly let people quickly build the newly remodeled loom, and then build a factory in the Jiangnan area to recruit people.

It's just that recruiting is not going well, after all, this is the territory of Jiangning Weaving Bureau.

Later, Minning gave him a trick, all the recruits were women, some were good, some were abandoned, and some were trafficked, most of them couldn't survive, as long as they were given a straw to survive , these people will catch them tightly, and they don't care about the orders of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau.

On the one hand, building factories, on the other hand, purchasing raw materials in the north and south of the river, is no longer limited to the south of the Yangtze River, such as Shu, which is also the hometown of silk, and you can go there to purchase.

After stabilizing the basic form, Minning asked people to quickly investigate why the Jiangning Weaving Bureau was stumbling behind.

After finding out, she gritted her teeth in hatred.

At first, she thought it was the prince who made the move, but she thought about it later, the prince is currently too much to care about, so there is no way he would have the time to care about her.Sure enough, after in-depth investigation, it was discovered that other princes had intervened.

That's right, Jiangnan is the big money bag of these people, how could these people be willing to let her get involved?

There are also those salt merchants who rely on their huge wealth to snap up silk and cotton with her men, which has violated her taboo.

Minning wrote down the account and settled accounts with these people later.

"Go and find out if the master next door is involved in this matter." Minning told Lin Yuan when he came to report the situation.

The one next door is naturally the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and Min Ning does not believe that the fourth master's future rival will be as clean as Bai Xue.

Although the Eighth Prince was not among the people Lin Yuan reported, Min Ning felt that there must be this one intervening.

Although it is said that the First Prince is fighting with the Crown Prince now, but the Eighth Prince has since fully accepted the First Prince's influence, and may be flirting with the First Prince's subordinates now.

"Yes!"

After talking about this matter, Minning said with a serious face again: "Start the factory as soon as possible, I want to see a large amount of cloth enter the market within two months, let the price of cloth drop to the bottom, and let those who are against me know Offend me!"

Lin Yuan asked softly, "How to deal with some family workshops that are trapped? These people are the first to be hit."

Minning thought for a while, "Anyway, there are still two months to order people to produce a large number of handlooms, but after those people go bankrupt, let's see if they can attract people to our side, and then form an alliance to make loans to us. They come to buy looms, and the woven cloth can only be sold by our alliance. After the sale, part of the purchase price will be deducted to repay the loan. By the way, let them choose a few highly respected people to manage this alliance. Just stop arguing with them."

Lin Yuan felt relieved and said, "Then our bank must be opened as soon as possible."

"Well, after the opening, you can also carry out bank note business and remittance business. When a city opens a bank in the future, remember to report it in the newspaper after opening. As long as you deposit money in one of the banks and then designate the remittance to a certain city, one After a month, you can go to the local city to take it out, and you don’t need to take any money for a month, but only take the remittance slip, which is enough to spread all over the country.”
