Rebirth of Buddhism

Now everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.

There are many things that Fu Zhiyu does not need to do by himself, for example, the changes in those backward villages, the prefects of each city are to blame, and the seeds given by Yuan Jiangwen have been shipped to various places, and this group of officials will also help him from top to bottom. Get moving, you can't make a display like before.

Fu Zhiyu doesn't have superpowers, no matter how capable he is, he still has to rely on the people below. Besides, he has other important things to do.

After that, Yuan Jiangwen first sent a group of craftsmen, and then the Qian family, Deng family, and Lin family also sent a group of craftsmen.

"The craftsmen of the Qian family know looms best, and the Lin family has the most family members. The best waterwheels and plows in the south of the Yangtze River are made by them. The carpenters and blacksmiths are excellent. The Deng family knows how to build houses best. As for us My own family, I won’t hide it from you, is indeed inferior to them technically, but our family runs a bank and has more cash than them.” Yuan Jiangwen chuckled, “Yuanlu has made a batch of excellent ones. Jade craftsmen come in, but jade is a precious thing after all, many people may not be able to touch jade for the rest of their lives after learning it, and it is not suitable to promote it to ordinary people for the time being, and it is useless to learn it.”

Fu Zhiyu nodded, indicating that he knew.

These top craftsmen are the treasures of every merchant, much more expensive than a shop.

When Qian Manguan was delivered, he was in pain, but he turned around and told Fu Zhiyu the truth: "Although he is a craftsman in my family, you must know that we are actually an employment relationship, and I am always polite to people. Yes, I never dare to offend. After all, the history of my family is much longer than that of my Qian family. You can say that those embroiderers, among them, are serious heirs of Su embroidery. It is not an exaggeration to say that they will be included in history books in the future. I can send it to King Zhao, but this skill..."

Qian Manguan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Family learning is generally not passed on to outsiders. You also know that this is the ancestral rule of many craftsmen. If you insist on stealing it, you will be apologetic with death."

Fu Zhiyu knew it too, he patted Qian Manguan on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Patriarch Qian, don't worry, I just borrowed it for a while, and I will definitely return it to you in full, and I won't make it difficult for you." Their."

Qian Manguan wanted to say something, but shut up anyway.

Fu Zhiyu looked at his hesitant to speak, and thought it was funny, and asked him: "What? Do you think in your heart that you are about to lose money again, so just speak up if you have something to say."

Qian Manguan didn't dare to say it, Qian Manguan felt that he was very wronged.

It's just spending money and energy to play with people who don't dare to offend, that's what he thinks in his heart.

"Here, let me show you something."

Fu Zhiyu took him into the back room and showed him the blueprint of the improved loom that he had drawn.

I thought that a pampered man knew something about looms, but Qian Manguan only took a glance and saw that something was different.

He ignored the respect, grabbed the blueprint and looked at it.

This improved technology was learned by Fu Zhiyu when he was in the main god space. He carefully measured the degree of realization of the current technology and refined it bit by bit according to his memory. Artisans can be invited to come, and each other's knowledge can be combined to make it.

So it is not enough to rely on the weavers and embroiders of the Qian family. An improved loom also needs good carpenters and blacksmiths from the Lin family.

"This is not just talking on paper!" Qian Manguan looked at the drawing and then at him, with an expression of disbelief, "Where did you get this, King Zhao... God! Where did you get it?"

Subconsciously, Qian Manguan didn't think it was drawn by Fu Zhiyu himself, but that he got it from somewhere with his supernatural powers. However, while he was excited, his mind gradually calmed down.

The most important thing for Qian Manguan is the cloth business. He has seen countless looms, and it is not that he has not thought about improving them. After all, for a businessman, if he can weave more cloth at the same time, he can make more money.

But it's easier said than done.

Fu Zhiyu's blueprint is so detailed that Qian Manguan can know the value inside just by looking at it for a while. It is not an exaggeration to say that this thing is priceless.

"What do you mean?" Qian Manguan was afraid that he would take the drawing back at any time, so he could only rely on his own memory to memorize every important point on it, and then boldly proposed, "How about you take this drawing back?" Can you sell me the drawings? You make a price, as long as someone can afford it, I will never bargain."

Fu Zhiyu showed him a shallow, very kind smile, and then said: "That's so troublesome, I'll give it to you."

Qian Manguan was hit by the huge surprise, unable to speak, he stuttered: "Really?"

"Really," Fu Zhiyu said, "There are only a few small conditions."

There was a hint of slyness in his smile, like a little fox wagging its tail.

As others have said, the rich merchants have not only brought harm to Jiangnan, they have a solid foundation in Jiangnan, and some things are more useful and acceptable to the rich merchants than the government.

Fu Zhiyu wants to rely on these machines—taking looms as an example, and build a batch of factories based on the business of merchants, so as to provide a new means of survival for the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Qian family used to have a weaving workshop, but most of them were long-term laborers who had signed contracts of selling their lives, and the rudimentary and active weaving industry that Fu Zhiyu wanted had not yet formed.

Handicrafts and agriculture are mutually reinforcing. Once the weaving industry expands, manpower will be needed to provide raw materials for silkworm rearing. Some farmers will be able to raise mulberry leaves and silkworms instead of being stuck in the rice fields.

"Factory?" Qian Manguan couldn't understand, "What do you want to do?"

In fact, it is very simple. Piece-rate remuneration, employment system, etc. are not difficult to understand. The last point Fu Zhiyu raised is to increase the overall salary.

"The Qian family is the big head of the weaving industry. With the Qian family taking the lead, this matter is much easier to handle." Fu Zhiyu said, "I'm not telling you to earn less money. The efficiency of weaving has improved, and you will definitely not earn less."

Qian Manguan scratched his head and did not speak for a while.

"I know that now the Qian family's own weaving workshop actually only produces a small part of the cloth, which can't keep up with your family's shipments. A lot of the cloth sold by the Qian family's cloth workshop is actually white cloth collected from outside. , and then dyed in the dyeing house, cut the garments, and embroidered by the embroiderer." Seeing him hesitate, Fu Zhiyu continued, "Although the price of the original cloth is low, the quality is uneven. In fact, you are also a headache, but if you build your own factory, you can Unified purchase of silk and unified weaving, fine cloth is handed over to fine people to weave, ordinary cloth is handed over to ordinary people to weave, and a piece of cloth is sold, and everything from silk to finished clothes is under your control. No less, full of money, don’t come here to be good at being cheap, if you don’t want to do it, many people will do it.”

Qian Manguan was startled, and then thought, this person is still like this, with both kindness and power, a slap is like a sweet date.

The last sentence can be regarded as a warning.

"Do it!" Qian Manguan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "What you said is correct."

But before he left, he looked Fu Zhiyu up and down again.

"What are you looking at?"

Qian Manguan is much more relaxed with Fu Zhiyu now, and he is not as scared when he sees him as before.

He now feels that this person is really good, and he has no reason to dissatisfy him now, he is good-looking and capable.

"Look at your pride," he said cheerfully holding the blueprint, and dared to make fun of Fu Zhiyu, "I also wanted to do this kind of thing before, and I asked the Lin family for blacksmiths and carpenters, but he was unwilling to give them to them. It's difficult."

Fu Zhiyu froze for a moment, then said, "Really?"

No way, he thought, maybe Qian Manguan and the others spoke in the wrong way, and it might not necessarily make others angry, but he thought the Lin family was easy to talk to.

Before Fu Zhiyu had time to go in person, Yuan Jiangwen just went to test the tone of the Lin family, and they agreed without asking or asking. The next day, the craftsmen came over.

Before Qian Manguan left, he took a look at Fu Zhiyu's desktop. There were several drawings scattered there, but from a distance, he couldn't make out what was drawn on them.

Lord Zhao must have something else hidden.

Qian Manguan didn't have such a big face, and felt that he was so special that he could eat this bonus, and he couldn't kiss the Yuan family no matter how close he was.

Sure enough, not long after he left, Deng Qian went in.

Qian Manguan deliberately parked the carriage at the corner of the alley in front of the door, and waited for more than half an hour before Deng Qian came out.

He hurried over to stop him, pulled Deng Qian over affectionately, and said, "What did you say?"

Deng Qian glanced at him vigilantly, withdrew his hand, and did not speak.

"It's about this time, so don't see me anymore." Qian Manguan glanced around and knew that this was not a place to talk, "Let's go, I'll find a secluded place, and I'll talk to you."

Deng Qian had no choice but to be dragged away by the heavy Qian Manguan.

When they arrived at the private room of the restaurant, Qian Manguan was also direct, straight to the point: "Well, let's be honest with each other, and I'll show you my things."

Qian Manguan folded his blueprint, hid some key things behind, and only showed him the topmost drawing.

"The loom," Deng Qian glanced at, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and imitated him to fold and fold his blueprint, "Mine is much bigger than yours."

Qian Manguan looked down and asked in surprise, "Boat?"

"Yes," Deng Qian said, "Prince Zhao said that the people in the south of the Yangtze River are limited after all, and you still have to sell things to make money. Caravans mostly use horse-drawn carriages, and the transportation volume is small. big."

There are several rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. You can go to other cities in Jilin through the rivers, and you can also go to southern borders and ancient countries in the Western Regions. It is not uncommon for caravans to use this kind of transportation. The Deng family also has a special shipyard. Drawings, compared to before, can be regarded as small troubles.

"King Zhao said that he has asked His Majesty to build a new canal to connect the hometown river in the capital and the Mingjiang River in the south of the Yangtze River," said Deng Qian. To the northernmost barbarian steppe."
