After a difficult day, Zhuge Min returned home with a heavy heart, and the concubine Chen came up to help him take off his official robe, his movements were a little slow, and he was immediately scolded coldly, which frightened Chen's face pale, and he hurriedly fell to the ground to plead guilty.

After washing his face, Zhuge Min hurriedly called his staff member Li Qingshang to the study, Li Qingshang saw that his face was gloomy, and asked in surprise: "Pavilion Elder, didn't Ma Weizhong and Shen Qingyang bring hundreds of officials to admonish together?" King Qin has always been good at admonishment, so many ministers oppose it, according to King Qin's character, it should be good as flow, could it be that something else happened? ”

"The old man is also out of sight this time." Zhuge Min's face was still gloomy, and he briefly described the situation in the court today.

After listening to this, Li Qingshang thought for a while and said: "Regarding the advice of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the King of Qin only said that he should be cautious this time and hurriedly retreated from the court, which is indeed extraordinary, unlike the temperament he had in the past. However, since the King of Qin promised the Manchu ministers that he would be cautious, things may not turn around. ”

Zhuge Min said heavily: "No, there will be no turnaround, and if it doesn't work out this time, I'm afraid there will be ten thousand thunders." ”

"I'm afraid that the elder of the pavilion is too worried, the imperial official's advice is the duty, take a step back, even if there is really thunder, it is only right to go to Shao Hua, the imperial history of the left capital."

Shao Hua was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the imperial historians attacked in groups, it stands to reason that Qin Mu should indeed be angry with Shao Hua first, but is it really that simple?

The sky outside the window was getting dark, and the dim light was reflected on Zhuge Min's face, faintly purple and blue, making his tense face even heavier, he leaned back in the Taishi chair and said in a deep voice: "Do you know, there is such a big turmoil in the court, King Qin did not convene the cabinet ministers to discuss countermeasures, but summoned Liu Boquan, Xu Yingjie, Yang Shen, and Song Yingxing to meet them. There's a lot of mystery in this. ”

When Li Qingshang heard this, his hand stroking his beard couldn't help but shake, and he almost tore off his beard. His face also became solemn in an instant, at this time, King Qin did not summon the cabinet but summoned the ministers, did he have suspicion of the cabinet ministers?

"Pavilion Elder, according to you, that day in the imperial study, the most fierce opposition was Sima An, will the King of Qin be dissatisfied with Sima An, so he will abandon the cabinet and summon his ministers." Li Qingshang said with the last glimmer of hope.

Zhuge Min took a sip of tea slowly, he also hoped that it would be so, but it was just hope. With his political sense, he can sniff out that things are not so simple.

This time, I wanted to lead the fire to Sima An, but I didn't expect that as soon as the first step was taken, things would become like this.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Min's eyelids couldn't help jumping, and he hurriedly said to Li Qingshang: "You go immediately, send Huang Mengliang and Qian Chen away, and let them leave the capital as far away as possible, etc." You can't go on your own anymore, just send an inconspicuous person. Also, from today onwards, the house will be closed to guests. On the side of Guozijian, how to make trouble with Yinxi, let him make trouble. ”

"Yes, I'm going to do it."

In the Imperial Study. The candles have been lit, Qin Mu asked people to bring some snacks, and everyone had some snacks with hot tea. Continue the discussion.

On how to solve the problem of manpower, Song Yingxing, Yang Shen, Liu Boquan, and Xu Yingjie did not speak out.

Manpower is not absent, due to the war caused by the destruction of the family, lonely and helpless abound, and women account for the majority, just suitable for the textile industry.

The problem is that Qin Mu wants to build an intensive large-scale textile factory, rather than a small fight by each family. Now who mentions that so many women are gathered in the factory, this violates the moral norms that women should abide by, and is very likely to attract the attack of the Manchu imperial historians.

Qin Mu didn't force them, he would take care of this matter himself, and he would talk about it after doing it.

Qin Mu insisted on building a large-scale textile factory, naturally wanting to see if he could take the opportunity to promote an industrial revolution.

According to Yang Shen, there is a clear record in the Songjiang Prefecture Chronicles that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Songjiang alone sold as many as 150,000 pieces of Songjiang cloth every day, and the country produces about 600 million horses every year, with a total value of 100 million taels of silver. More than half of them are sold on the market as commodities.

In other words, the annual gold and silver trading volume of cotton cloth alone in the Ming Dynasty reached more than 50 million taels, which is a very astonishing output, 6 times larger than the output of the Industrial Revolution in Britain.

As we all know, the first industrial revolution that took place in Britain was precisely the starting point of the textile industry.

So the Ming Dynasty, which was 6 times larger than the British output, did not have an industrial revolution?

Qin Mu personally believes that the key is that although the output of cotton cloth in the Ming Dynasty was large, it was mainly the scattered production of each household, which was a typical small-scale peasant economic model, and did not form an intensive enterprise production, which could not give birth to the industrial revolution.

According to Yang Shen, the people of the four townships of Songjiang Prefecture are mainly spinning and weaving cloth. Destroying the car and the bow, spinning the loom, and the family has it.

The villagers went into the market to buy cotton, and when they came back, they handed it over to the women to weave, and they worked here every day, even if they were sixty or seventy years old. There is a person who finishes the yarn at night and becomes a cloth, which is called the rooster song. When encountering the slack time, men, women and children operate together, and the bonlights are woven endlessly.

Perhaps, this is exactly the scene pursued by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a small farmer: the male force cultivates outside, the female force weaves inside, and then the family gives people enough, everyone is content in front of them, and they do not go out of the countryside in their lives, and they do not interact with each other in old age and death, like grass in the countryside, they will fend for themselves, and the empire will last for hundreds of generations and generations

And Zhu Yuanzhang's concept is exactly what Qin Mu must break.

Intensive enterprise production, the most important technology, in textile technology, Yang Shen and Song Yingxing have an in-depth understanding, Qin Mu asked, Yang Shen replied: "Now the people of Songjiang use the cotton ginning car, only one person self-shake, self-stepping, self-feeding, every day can ginning ten catties of cotton, three catties of lint cotton, three times higher than the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of elastic cotton opening and impurities, it is mainly made of wood as a bow, wax silk as a string, five feet long, round and sharp at the top, wide at the bottom, and the string is as thick as a five-strand line. ”

As far as Qin Mu knows, textile can be roughly divided into four procedures: ginning, elastic cotton, spinning, and weaving.

And the most labor-intensive should be the process of spinning, to spin a ball of cotton into a thin thread, think about how many yarns a piece of cloth needs to be woven.

So he immediately asked, "How efficient is the spinning wheel now?" ”

"Back to the King of Qin, since the improvement of Huang Daopo, the spinning wheel currently used by the people is at most four spindles. In terms of looms, there are different looms such as three solos, five solos, and seven solos. ”

Yang Shen said it relatively briefly, but through his explanation, Qin Mu also had a general understanding, and he was definitely not satisfied with this.

He said to Han Zanzhou: "The next issue of Daqin Times, publish a reward announcement, no matter who it is, as long as it can improve the spinning wheel, one more spinning yarn at a time will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver, and two more spindles of yarn will be rewarded with two thousand taels of silver, and so on, there is no upper limit." There are three kinds of cotton ties, cotton bows, and looms, but if there are major improvements, they will also be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. ”

Han Zanzhou hurriedly responded: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Under the so-called heavy reward, there is a brave man in his heart.

Qin Mu didn't believe it, and offered such a heavy reward, so that the entire Great Qin people could use their brains to think about it, it couldn't compare to a Jenny.

In the case of the government-run weaving bureau, the five of them discussed for a long time, and did not disperse until they had agreed on a rough charter.

At this time, it is the time of the first shift, the bright moon rises in the east, and the clear light is all over the ground;

After sending Yang Shen and the four of them away, Qin Mu stood under the eaves of the imperial study, looked at the moonlight all over the ground, and said lightly to Li Shi behind him: "Li Shi, you say, in this moonlight shadow, how many undercurrents are surging?" ”

"King Qin, this Weichen doesn't know, Weichen only knows the way, and the night is the darkest."

"Ha Lu Ha" Qin Mulang laughed a few times, and his chest was full of depression. Someone crossed the line this time, someone crossed the line.

I can give you freedom of speech, but I will not tolerate incitement to clear the mind for personal gain.

"Okay, rest, if there is any new situation, report to the king at any time."

"Yes, King Qin."

A night breeze is blowing, and the spring cold is precipitous, well, let the wind blow for a while, and it is best to blow out all the grass sprouts.

Qin Mu flicked his big sleeves lightly, turned around and went back to the back garden, leaving the moonlight all over the ground like frost and snow.
