Rebirth of Buddhism

After hearing this, Fu Zhiyu reached out and touched its leaves, with an inexplicable expression on his face.

He knew that his blood was different, and he used it to do many things, including using it to improve the physique of his family and friends. He also earned a sum of money as a backup. He just lived a comfortable life, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this at the time.

In fact, he hasn’t used the money for selling the medicine until now. The mansion first used a box of bounties given when he was named the King of Jiangnan, and he hasn’t used much in the past few years, less than ten cents. one.

Fu Zhiyu also looked at the accounts in his own mansion, and there were very few places to spend money, mainly his own village provided a large part of the food, and other places to spend money were also limited, and he and his mother were not lavish people.

But now the money earned from the pills is useful, and it happens to be spent on his plans in Jiangnan, and there is no need to pile up dust in the warehouse for nothing.

Fu Zhiyu hadn't used his bloody brain for a long time. His pill was enough for his family to take for a long time, so he didn't care about it for a long time.Moreover, the greatest use of this pill comes from the matter of their own blood. Both Niangqin and Mingdao kept tight-lipped, pretending that they had never heard of it, and did not reveal it at all.

Sometimes, he will forget the specialness of himself.

It is only a small part that was sold before, and now it has become a sky-high price in the market, but it is still priceless.

Zhiyu was forced by his livelihood before, so he used the blood for personal gain, but now looking at the melon, he suddenly had a new idea.

He asked Zhuangtou: "Have you ever transplanted it? Or, have you grown other seedlings from this seed?"

"I have planted the branches out, and I have dug the seeds of the fruits and planted them outside. This kind of melon has a strong growth ability," Zhuangtou said, "They all grow very well, and the fruits they bear are also sweet. the same."

But they didn't think it was strange, because everyone in the Zhuangzi knew that the seedlings moved from the capital were only considered to be the varieties of noble families, and it was normal that they were different from ordinary people's.

After Fu Zhiyu heard this sentence, he kept it in his heart, he already had some confidence in his heart.

However, this matter is not as urgent as the plan that has been made in front of him. After all, Fu Zhiyu also needs time to verify it.

Besides, he is not so selfless, he doesn't care about things like money, he just gives it, but when it comes to his own blood, he can't be careless.

Just by looking at the sky-high priced pills, one can see how attractive this thing is to people.This is different from blueprints, or in other words, this thing is much more attractive and threatening than blueprints.

Don't let the fourth person know, and don't let others find any clues. He doesn't want to challenge people's inferiority and dark side.

With such thoughts in mind, Fu Zhiyu returned home with a heavy heart. This is a matter that has both benefits and risks. No one can see what he is planning at this time.

A month later, the loom in the drawings was built.

This speed made Qian Manguan somewhat unexpected. Although there are blueprints, he has never seen some very detailed parts on the blueprints. Made it, it is already very powerful.

In the middle, Fu Zhiyu also communicated with the craftsmen many times, and changed some ideas based on the experience of the craftsmen, and finally made it like this, which is considered very good.

Qian Manguan looked at the actual loom with his eyes, and touched it gently with his hand, as if he was looking at his intimate lover.

"Ask the Weavers to try it out," Fu Zhiyu couldn't help but feel a little relieved, "Try how efficient it is. If it's possible, just keep doing it like this."

"Okay, okay," Qian Manguan could hardly suppress the excitement on his face, "I'll ask them to try it!"

On the Lin family's side, it is faster to transform some simple farm tools than this one. The slightly larger and labor-saving plow tools are also being made, and the progress is good, but the waterwheel needs more time.

Moreover, there are supporting measures for the waterwheel. It is necessary to dig ditches to divert water to achieve the purpose of convenient irrigation. All in all, it is a big project that consumes time and energy.

Deng Qian's ship will take longer. Fu Zhiyu conservatively estimates that it will be very good if it can be made within three to five years, but Deng Qian is not in a hurry. He is a big business man and knows that although it will take a long time, he has no money. The home is so immediate, but if it is really done, the benefits will be incalculable.

Moreover, he could also feel that what Fu Zhiyu said was true. He said that he wanted to build a canal. Not long after, the capital began to spread the news and began to recruit canal workers.

The Yuan family was the least anxious one. It seemed that Fu Zhiyu didn't give anything, but Yuan Jiangwen kept helping him with money, but in fact, Yuan Jiangwen knew that he would definitely benefit a lot.

The Yuan family owns a bank, and no matter how big the other businesses are, they are all closely related to him. This is the result of mutual influence.Even Yuan Lu's side is the same. Yuan Lu is now in the jade business, but jade has always been a luxury, and ordinary people can't afford it. If Jiangnan becomes rich as a whole, his business will naturally be better.

"Actually, at our point, it doesn't matter if we have more money or less," Yuan Jiangwen said to Fu Zhiyu seriously, "Now that I have earned more than I can spend in three lifetimes, Yuan Lu is also promising, so I have nothing to do with it." I asked for it.

As a businessman, it is only meaningful if you can do something that is beneficial to the community. Zhiyu, I am very grateful to you, at least it is you who gave me the opportunity to participate in all of this. "

When Fu Zhiyu heard the words, she didn't say much to thank her, as close relatives can always be understood with just one look.

As soon as the news of the river digging in the capital came out, Jiangnan’s notice followed closely behind. Fu Zhiyu wrote it himself, stating that the recruitment is not compulsory, but all voluntary. For quota work, supervisors are not allowed to beat or scold, but if they are lazy and deliberately procrastinate, they will not be hired after being found out three times.

Fu Zhiyu knew that many coolies were illiterate, so he specially hired people in every city to yell at the places where the laborers gathered. It is not easy to make money these days. It spread all over the world.

Part of the salary was paid by the government, and part by Fu Zhiyu. Among the four major families, the Deng family gave the most land. Fu Zhiyu also considered it. It was not set too high, but it was higher than the labor force carrying the big bags at the dock. Sign up There are naturally a lot of people working in the river.

Because of the experience of the previous life, Fu Zhiyu intends to strictly investigate corruption this time, and will never allow officials at all levels to deduct wages. Now the prefects in various cities in the south of the Yangtze River are followed by a group of soldiers from the Yuanjiang Bank. Fu Zhiyu also bluntly stated that this is staring at them.

Officials also know the meaning of Fu Zhiyu's "investigation period", and they don't really want to lose their jobs. Everyone dare not touch Fu Zhiyu's inverse scales at this time. Besides, Jiangnan is such a large place, and the top people If the arrest is strict, it will be difficult for the people below to play tricks to hide it.

After the river workers were recruited, the project of digging the river began.

Jiangnan has been very lively recently, and the spring has passed, but the prosperous appearance has no tendency to recede in the slightest.

On the loom side, since the prototypes have already been made, it is not so difficult to make them in batches, but Qian Manguan is still hesitant about the factory. He also told Fu Zhiyu about his other concerns.

"Generally speaking, those who learn to weave are women. When I started a textile factory before, it's not that I didn't think about making it bigger. It's true that collecting cloth from one family to another is very troublesome. It takes time and effort, but I can't help it," Qian Manguan said, "Women who weave cloth usually do it to subsidize their families, and they don't leave the house. Many people can't accept that they work like men in the workshop."

"Why can't they work like men?" Fu Zhiyu asked back, "Do they really don't want to, or is the external reason of family restricting their thoughts?"

"……what do you mean?"

"On the one hand, you have to let them know that in your factory, you can use better looms, and you can weave two or even three looms in the usual time for weaving one loom, which will earn you more money." A lot of money, who would have trouble with money?" Fu Zhiyu told him patiently, "At the same time, people also need leaders, as long as you can find a small group of people who stand up first, use their actual changes to make a difference to others. Even the most conservative people will be eager to move. The folk customs in Jiangnan are more open than other places, so I have such expectations. Money is not so easy to earn. There will always be some obstacles to what we do, but there will always be obstacles. There is a solution."

Qian Manguan seemed to understand what he heard, but he still set out to do it.

Yuan Wanyun heard the news from nowhere, and a few days later, during the festival of worshiping the weaver girl in the south of the Yangtze River, Yuan Wanyun, as the birth mother of the king of Jiangnan and a former concubine of high rank, specially participated in this festival.

This festival is a bit like the sacrifice that Fu Zhiyu participated in last time. It is public. There are many women on the field. In addition to the silkworm girl, there are also many weavers and embroiderers. It is as lively as the Qiqiao Festival.

Yuan Wanyun changed into a farm girl's costume, fed the growing silkworms with mulberry leaves with the wives of several other families, and mentioned a few words in front of everyone.

"Since ancient times, men farming and women weaving have done the same work, and they have sung in plays. Who says women are inferior to men?" She said in front of everyone, "I hope women in Jiangnan don't have to be afraid to go out of the house and earn money with their own hands." , nothing to be ashamed of, Empress Weaver will also bless us."

Fu Zhiyu heard about this later, Yuan Wanyun patted him on the shoulder, and said happily: "I spent most of my life in a muddleheaded way, only having you made me feel that the years before It’s not in vain, and I’m not doing it all to help you, I just think it should be done.”

Qian Manguan also heard about this incident, so he took advantage of this time to actually invite several people over.

The first people recruited were a few widows, and a few girls whose parents were dead and could not get married. They were unattended, and they were not afraid of others' gossip. Earning money to live on their own seemed more important than anything else.

But after entering the Qian family’s textile factory and starting to work, I realized that it was even better than I imagined. Everything was prepared. The loom is very easy to use, and the money is paid by the piece, which is much higher than the usual money for receiving cloth.

"The head of the family said that there will be more people working as weavers in the future. If weavers do well and have been doing it for a long time, the Qian family will pay for their son to go to school and learn to read and write," said the people in the workshop, " This is what Prince Zhao ordered, and I will not deceive you."

Go to school...

Although I don't expect to be admitted to fame, it is not easy to be able to read.

The women took the money back with them and the news at the same time.

Qian Manguan saw the weavers coming one by one with them. Even though some women were still a bit cautious, they came wearing veils for fear of being recognized by others, but as time went on, fewer and fewer of them covered their faces. up.

As Yuan Wanyun said, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Today, Qian Manguan specially brought a piece of cloth to show Fu Zhiyu.

"A weaver lady came here today. She is very skilled. Feel the cloth," he said joyfully. "In the future, if the cotton and wool that the Lin family planted on the barbarian side can be transported here, the workshop will still be there." Can make cotton clothes.

King Zhao, the days to come are getting better and better, so I'm counting on you. "

Fu Zhiyu glanced at him, and was noncommittal to Qian Manguan's compliment, just smiled and said: "Where is the point? There are still many things to do in the future, but this time I also accept your good words, I hope... It's really getting better."
