The first month has not yet passed, and there is news that probably this year the emperor will find a step to solve the "feudal" matter. So Lao Zhang found Li Ke and said that the governor of Dadu is the king of Wu, and you have to love the people like a son. Li Ke decided to love the people like a son, and made up for the vacancy of the monopoly in Anlu Prefecture......

Let's plant cotton together this year, roar or not.

Roar!

Cotton seeds are quite expensive, the best is still Cangzhou cotton, Jia Fei selected and bred the good varieties the year before last, and last year the output increased by two percent, which is a remarkable achievement. It's just that last year, I found that there were insects that eat cotton, and it can be seen that insects are also improving.

Fortunately, the impact is not large, and the benefits of cotton and wheat interplanting are still considerable.

"These chaff...... Fried? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji grabbed a handful, sniffed at the tip of his nose, and looked at the sack, which was marked with a mark and two huge words: feed.

"It's mainly for slave labor, mixed with soybean meal and surimi, which is still good."

When these words came out, his face did not change, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Rao is eldest grandson Wuji has even seen cannibalism, and he feels that the beast in front of him really doesn't treat people as people.

However, to be honest, if you see more livestock, your conscience will naturally be for the sake of livestock, and it is normal to be numb. From time to time, my conscience found that it was abnormal, and it was a mental illness that needed Professor Yang's care.

The old yin took a piece and took a bite, his teeth almost jumped, and his cheeks hurt.

"This is not even as good as the old year's military rations."

What the hell was the military ration at the end of the Sui War? Half millet and half sand, that's conscience. Half of the millet becomes wheat, that is the conscience of the conscience.

"It's all mixed with soup, how can you eat it dry. Feeding pigs is mostly to beat some grass, pigs can't gnaw can't understand, let alone people? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji still thinks that Zhang De is a humanoid beast, but when he thinks that most of the slaves are of the Murowei Hu species, he doesn't have too many ideas.

Speaking of which, this eldest grandson is also a Xianbei surname......

Of course, if Lao Zhang is talking to the old yin goods, you are a special Xianbei species, and the old yin goods can wrestle with him for 300 rounds.

"If it's like this, I'm afraid it's going to rebel against you."

"It doesn't matter, slave labor, hired labor, general labor, three-year labor, five-year labor. Just like being an official, each level is naturally different. Those hired workers of the indigenous people in Chuzhou have one meal of meat every two days, how can slave labor compare. ”

"Slave laborers eat fodder, hired laborers begin to eat what people eat, and five years of labor may not necessarily be the delicacies of the mountains and seas, right?"

"Although it is not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, there is a special canteen, frying and cooking, and you can eat whatever you want."

The eldest grandson Wuji clipped his hand and snorted.

Then, there is nothing more. The old yin goods are mainly to come to see the property in Chuzhou, and Zhongshu Province is not all official ruffians, and the population of Chuzhou is a net inflow, so can the prime ministers have a little bit of pressure in their hearts? Fang Xuanling didn't tell anyone else, if Li Ke hadn't stabbed it out suddenly, I'm afraid that there would be no such thing as Changsun Wuji going south, although Changsun himself is also a butt of shit to take care of.

Within a few days, the people of Jingxiang all knew a big news, and Comrade Sun Wuji, the chief leader of the central government, inspected Chuzhou and personally went to the production line, thinking about what the people think, being anxious about what the people are anxious about, greeting the masses for warmth, and showing sincere feelings to the workers......

As for Governor Shi Zhangde and his companion, of course, it is not important.

What an honor it is for the prime minister to go down to the state to inspect.

is also a child of Jing Xiang, and there is honor.

What is even more honorable is that the central leading comrades highly appreciated the enthusiasm of the people of Jingxiang for vigorously planting cotton, and affirmed the long-term planning of Anlu Prefectures......

Of course, what the masses of the people don't know is that the reason why Comrade Changsun Wuji appreciates it so much is entirely because the carding machine has been improved, and there is hope that the woolen underwear will not be so stingy.

The woolen underwear given to Li Dong, after several years of development, has finally made some progress.

On the outside of the woolen underwear, you can finally put on a pair of autumn pants. Although the quality is still inferior, for example, the stitches are not so neat and fine, for example, the cotton fabric is not washable and durable. But anyway, I wore it inside, and the leading comrades thought it was good.

Cotton, wool, silk, linen...... A technological upgrade, let's call it a technological upgrade, in this year, is not a decrease in the labor force, but an increase in the labor force. After the processing of raw materials is convenient, the output of spindles increases, and more workshops are needed for secondary processing, and more workshops are needed, that is, more workers.

What the eldest grandson Wuji really cares about is here.

If you want to find suitable labor to enter the textile industry, this is not Zhang De's business alone. Planting cotton and harvesting cotton requires ordinary labor, and this problem is easy to solve, but further cotton processing and even cotton blending, training a skilled worker, less than half a year, more than a year and a half.

And even without Zhang De's reminder, those factory owners also found that female workers are stronger than male workers, and male workers can only stay in front of machines such as parallel and spinning yarns as well as female workers. Gender differences are quickly magnified in the face of profits.

It is no longer enough to rely only on the input of Silla maids and widows.

Zhang De's policies of encircling and cultivating fields, building reservoirs, and renovating terraced fields in Chuzhou to let the fangs go down the mountain were absolutely fruitful and extremely fast in the past. But for factory owners who are short of labor, it is far from enough. Silk spinning is okay, the primitive loom does not have much requirements for male and female workers, but as long as hydraulic machinery is used, the efficiency is greatly improved, and the gender difference is released again.

The current textile profits have made the eye-opening Jingxiang tyrants come up with money and land to invest. Most of the qualified workers are concentrated in Chuzhou, and a small number are in Jiangxia in Ezhou, which leads to the embarrassing situation of having money and land but no one available.

In the surrounding states and counties, most of the laborers are still tied to the land.

What the eldest grandson Wuji has to do is to let the women of the land walk into the workshop, and after six months, they can skillfully combine their hands and feet, and weave cloth with their eyes and hands.

"Jingzhong is still very optimistic about Chuzhou." The eldest grandson Wuji said to Zhang De, and told the truth, "If it is unprofitable, it is inconvenient to attack Zhuzhou." When the old man returns to Beijing, he will let people advocate the new wind of Chuzhou, and the foreign court will respond, and then he can 'follow the example of Chuzhou and benefit the people' as an excuse to enclose land and drive people out. ”

"You also need to beware of the story of Youzhou."

"'Sheep eat people' is like 'cotton eats people', and besides, it is not really necessary to change rice to cotton. The emperor wanted to abolish feudalism, and he wanted to make some concessions, and the center allowed a tax package for the locality. Just like the government of Xuanchuan County, summer grain and autumn grain, there are large households to bear. ”

There are too many doorways, and the eldest grandson Wuji does not explain them to Zhang Deyi one by one, and Lao Zhang also knows the complexity. It's just unlucky, it's about those farmers again, and it's not just Anlu Prefectures that can't be involved, not only Anlu Prefectures, but even Ezhou and other places have to be recruited.

When the time comes, the imperial court uses an administrative order to mobilize the people to repair the reservoir, to enclose the polder, to repair the terraces, the man is tired and half dead, and in a blink of an eye, the woman runs to work, which is the mold on the mold.

Moreover, the eldest grandson Wuji inspected the Jingxiang land, and discussed with Zhang De for a long time, and he also had a plan in his heart, this place where the Han River and the Yangtze River meet, is to "gather in many ways" and "bloom in many places".

Of course, to explain in Lao Zhang's words, that is, after in-depth investigation, the central leaders decided to build an economic center with Hanyang and Jiangxia as the core in Jingxiang area, so as to drive the all-round development of Yunmengze area and run into a well-off society......
