The conquest of Tianzhu is easy to surprise, as if God intends to leave such a wonderful country as nourishment for industrial civilization.

In Ye Hua's view, the "third brother" is like lubricating oil, even if the two major departments of industry and agriculture can be reluctantly exchanged, but there is still the problem of poor scissors, obviously, in the current state, only let the farmers suffer some losses.

However, after the situation in India was opened, the two factions that were originally sharply opposed to each other eased up in an instant.

"The population of Tianzhu is not much less than that of Da Zhou, even if one person uses a handkerchief, it is enough for the factory to start with full strength." Brother Guo Xing said easily.

In fact, long before the appearance of the steam engine, there were already water-powered looms in the Champions Workshop, and in Jiangnan, there were even water-powered looms that could spin 64 threads at the same time.

There really is no need to doubt the ingenuity of Han Chinese craftsmen, but these looms have never become mainstream.

The efficiency has increased several times, which means that the loom in the hands of the woman has lost its value, and the division of labor formed by men and women weaving for thousands of years is not unreasonable.

Men plough the fields in exchange for food for the family's survival, and women weave cloth, in addition to clothing for their families, they will also go to the market and exchange it for money to fill the household.

Normally, people will plant mulberry hemp in front of the house and behind the house, men are capable and worth showing off, women are ingenious, spinning cloth, embroidered patterns, more popular than others, can be sold at a high price, it is also something to be proud of.

A strong man, a clever woman, combined together, is a "good"!

It's just that manpower can never compete with machines, when looms are popular, the price of cloth falls, the people's spinning wheels will be unsustainable, and even affect taxes in various places. And to improve efficiency, more raw materials are needed, and the land needs to be replanted with mulberry trees and cotton...... The expansion of the area of cash crops will also cause a food crisis...... One ring after another, it's almost a dead knot.

In many places, the state capitals will use various means to restrict the foreign silk and satin cloth.

At present, the textile workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, in addition to supplying overseas trade, are military supplies, and as for the countryside, they cannot enter at all.

Including Ye Hua, he is not good at criticizing anything, you have your reasoning, the people have the livelihood of the people, and there are practical difficulties in various places......

Of course, if you open the door overseas, everything will be different.

"We can first use low prices to destroy Tianzhu's handlooms, and then raise prices to squeeze huge profits from Tianzhu."

Guo Xingge did not have the slightest awareness of doing bad things, but seemed very excited, in his heart, the first thing to pursue was to realize the ideal, what he inherited from Ye Hua was to bring the Great Zhou into the industrial age.

Guo Xingge feels that this is more important than anything else, and what can barely be compared is the people of the Great Zhou, he can't harm his own people, he can't force others to go bankrupt, his wife is separated, and he won't ruin the country left by his father, in addition, he has no scruples, at least the life and death of Tianzhu people are not in his concern.

"We used cotton gauze to exchange gold and silver grain from Tianzhu...... As for the money, it is used to support the saint's foreign use of troops, and the food is used to supply the needs of the city, so that we can make the territory of the Great Zhou more and more extensive and the national strength stronger and stronger without harming the common people! ”

Brother Guo Xing crossed Erlang's legs, holding the back of his head with both hands, and his two white front teeth showed a shining light, like a proud little fox, hehe smiled.

It's just that opposite Guo Xingge, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Guo Zongxun doesn't see it that way, he feels that things can't be simplified like this.

"Uncle, do you take into account the price of grain in Da Zhou? Also, dumping cotton yarn into Tianzhu, have you considered how much land you want to use to plant cotton instead? If there is an expansion of production capacity, should we hire more workers, and how will the treatment of workers be calculated? ”

Brother Guo Xing had to admit that the prince was four years younger than him, but this guy did think more comprehensively than himself, he spread his hands, "What do you say you should do?" ”

Guo Zongxun smiled proudly, he really had a plan.

"Speaking of which, it was Master's prompt, I just figured it out, please Master refer to it together......

Guo Zongxun felt that it was first necessary to delineate the scope of cotton fields and mulberry fields and determine the number of replanting...... This is absolutely not to be nonsense, if it is fast, it will affect food security, and if it is slow, it will also delay making money.

After this is decided, subsidies should be provided to farmers, especially food farmers.

"Cotton and raw silk require more labor than grain fields, and the profits are more abundant than grain, and the people's hearts are driven by profits, so we can't repeat the mistakes of the Southern Tang Dynasty...... Subsidies to grain farmers are not to give them money, but to encourage individual grain and agricultural cooperatives to buy steam engines, new agricultural tools...... As a result, they can cultivate more land with fewer farmers and produce more food...... As for the extra people, they can go to the cotton fields and mulberry fields and work as laborers, and they can also enter the cities and work as workers...... This should be accompanied by proper education. ”

Guo Zongxun said very seriously: "Uncle, the treatment of workers still needs to be improved, at least not worse than farmers." ”

This time, Guo Xingge did not hesitate, "As long as the factory can ensure that it is profitable, of course I am happy to see it!" ”

"That's good, the profits will be squeezed from Tianzhu, they will agree if they agree, and if they don't agree, they will fight until they agree!" Guo Zongxun said viciously...... This kid also only needs to be responsible to the people of Da Zhou, as for the Tianzhu people, let them die!

Ye Hua didn't participate in the discussion too much, he just smiled and watched.

Whether it is industrial development or external expansion, it is not something that one person can do, Ye Hua does not think that he can do everything, nor does he think that a generation can accomplish everything.

Someone inherits his ideals, and the next generation is willing to promote it according to his ideas, Ye Hua feels very satisfied, at least he has taught two students who are not bad.

"You talk, after you talk, go to Wang Xianggong and Li Xianggong, and I won't get involved."

Ye Hua patted his ass and didn't wait for the two little guys to object, so he slipped away quickly, there are still things waiting at home!

Today is the day when Ye Xi and Ye Lan graduated from elementary school, and their son has inherited the wisdom of his parents, and he is definitely a super scholar, even a teacher will be made to stammer by the little guy.

It's just that apart from his academic performance, this kid has nothing to make Ye Hua happy, on the contrary, he also causes trouble for his father all day long.

No, for his birthday today, he brought a classmate who was in his sister's class.

The little girl is very delicate, with a little baby fat, dark eyes, like a little angel, standing with the two dolls of the Ye family, not having stage fright at all, and being generous, which makes Fu San surprised.

She thought that her daughter Ye Lan brought it over, so she pulled the little girl in front of her, took a closer look, and asked happily, "Whose family are you?" What are you doing here? ”

"I, my surname is Wang, and my grandfather is Wang Pu!"

"Oh!"

Fu San was even happier, "It turned out to be the granddaughter of Wang Xianggong, no wonder!" Are you here for a birthday for both of them? ”

The little girl stiffened her face and didn't answer, but her eyes turned to Ye Xi, which surprised Fu San, a little girl, if she doesn't kiss her daughter, how can she think of her son?

At this time, Ye Xi finally relied on his courage and walked in front of the old lady, was silent for a long time, mustered up his courage, and made Fu San stunned as soon as he spoke.

"Mother!" The little guy said very seriously: "I want to ask my mother to fulfill us!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu San only felt that a stream of blood rushed to the top of her head, and her head was bigger, she desperately told herself, you are the goddess of wealth, you are the master of Ye Mansion, you must be elegant and calm!

But when she saw Ye Xi grab the little girl's hand, Fu San had already exploded.

"Little bunny, see if I don't kill you!"

She raised her slap, Ye Xi was more thief than her, and pulled the little girl to the backyard. In this family, the only thing that can make the old lady jealous is the ancestor.

Ye Xi said while running, "Our family situation is different, my mother is not as open-minded as your mother, you don't listen, see it!" Why don't you tell my dad, he promises to nod! ”

The little girl blushed and fluttered her little face, pursed her lips and did not speak, her eyes were full of approval. The two little things were out of breath, fled to the Ye family's room, and ran directly into the warm pavilion, finally safe!

……

On the other side, Ye Lan stood in front of the old lady, "...... Last year, I took the second place in the exam, and my brother heard that there were students in the women's school who were better than me, so he yelled at me to be angry and asked her out to meet her and teach her a good lesson. ”

"And then you helped?"

"Hmm!" Ye Lan pouted, "Mother, the eldest brother is too insidious, after meeting, he didn't say anything, he just got to know each other...... Who knew that a few days later, he would send a note to the female school, and also took out our family's knowledge and gave it to others. At the end of this year, I was thrown even farther away! ”

Needless to say, Ye Lan's grievance, "I told my eldest brother, don't let him look at outsiders, guess what he said?" He said that he will not be an outsider soon, as long as his mother agrees, she, she will be our family! ”

Ye Lan was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded, "Mother, you should take care of the eldest brother!" ”

Fu San's face darkened, "I care? Can I manage it? ”

At this time, it happened that Ye Hua came back, and Fu San suddenly stood up, "Look, the good sons you gave birth to have brought their daughters-in-law home!" No matter what, you'll be a hooligan! ”

Ye Hua was confused when he heard it, and before he understood what was going on, he saw Wang Pu coming with joy, and his old face turned into a chrysanthemum, "I said Master Hou, when will you be hired?" ”

Ye Hua's head was bigger than Fu San, "I said Xianggong Wang, what are you hiring?" How did I not know? ”

"Hahaha! Everything pays attention to fate, and it's not too late to know now! Wang Pu said, took out a note, on which was written the eight characters of his granddaughter's birthday, and stuffed it to Ye Hua.

"Don't you know Fuyaozi? Please ask him to approve the marriage and see if it is auspicious? ”

Ye Hua rolled his eyes and asked the old god stick, of course, if you want to be auspicious, you will be auspicious, and if you want to be unlucky, you will not be lucky.

Fu San on the side has reached the verge of outburst, the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, she didn't say a word, she is about to become a mother-in-law, is there any family law?

"Wang Xianggong!" Fu San's voice raised an octave, and he was about to attack, when Ye suddenly walked in from outside, one left and one right, followed by two dolls, and the old lady's eyes were smiling into a slit.

"Yes, that's great! Ye Hua just didn't open his mind at the beginning, and he kept dragging it out, delaying it for many years. Xi'er is still sensible and knows what the old lady cares about! ”

Ye walked directly in front of Wang Pu and said with a smile: "Wang Xianggong, this girl is good, the old lady has taken a fancy to it, and she will be hired when she turns around, and when they are older, they will officially become relatives and worship the church!" ”

Ye Shi took the little girl's hand and stuffed a piece of topaz into her hand, "Take it, this is the first emperor's reward to the ancestor, from now on, you will be a member of the Ye family!" ”

The little girl was still a little hesitant, Wang Pu smiled and said: "Come on, the gifts of the old Fengjun are all with Fu Shou Li!" ”
