Chapter 165 Expenses
"Miss, more and more wool threads have been collected in the past few days, and the warehouse in West City is almost full."

Xiaoxia is now in charge of wool purchases, and after the accounts are put into storage today, she will report to Lu Weimang.

Lu Weimang nodded, while he was busy with the matter at hand, he nodded, indicating that he understood, and told Xiao Xia, "Go ahead and tell those women to just keep spinning, we buy here all the year round."

Xiao Xia Deling, "Yes, miss, I will let the women around Jincheng know what you said. And miss, there are a few unusual things today that need to be reported to miss."

"What's the matter?"

Lu Weimang listened to Xiao Xia's seriousness, then put down his work and looked up at Xiao Xia.

"Is it because there is not enough cash? The branch of Qianhuitong in the city has already sent a letter to Kyoto, and a large amount of cash will arrive soon."

Xiao Xia shook her head, "You still gave me a lot of cash, and it's not easy to spin wool into thread, so I didn't consume a lot of cash."

"What I want to talk about is not about the cash, but about the wool. In the past, this wool was just a piece of chicken rib in the countryside. It was mostly used to light fire or boil oil in winter. Now wool is spun into thread. It can be exchanged for cash, so now Shiliba Township's original stock of wool is running out, the sheep are all bald, and new wool can't grow, so the clever villagers figured out a way to go to distant places to buy wool, and now they come and go from Jincheng The caravan learned that not only the vicinity of Jincheng, but also the price of wool from Zhangye has begun to increase. There are also merchants from Zhangye in Tianshui who came to inquire about the news and asked if we continue to buy, they will bring us the next time they come. Here comes the woolen thread."

Lu Weimang smiled, "There are people with a keen sense of smell everywhere. Xiao Xia, no matter who comes to inquire, no matter what status they are, as long as they ask about wool, they will let me know, no matter how much they have, they will accept it."

"Here!"

Xiao Xia got the order, and left Lu Weimang's study to go to the purchase points in various parts of Jincheng to deliver the lady's order.

Lu Weimang won the first battle, and he was very happy. Right now, there are good things, and the pier is also under construction, and it will be completed in a few days.Everything is ready, except for one attractive thing, which attracts merchants from all over the world.

The folk customs in Yongzhou are rigid, and the people are all self-sufficient. They have no money in their hands, and they don’t have special commodities to sell. Therefore, almost no big merchants come to Yongzhou to do business. This is a place abandoned by merchants.

Now Yongzhou's wool is spun into threads, which can make good things comparable to silk, but this one thing alone is not enough to make Yongzhou prosperous and lively, and more and more attractive things are needed to make merchants from all over the world smell fishy. Like a cat, Wei'er came to Yongzhou on his own initiative.

Thinking of this, Lu Weimang looked at the tools in her hands, all hope was in the stone pot in her hands.

Jincheng is at the confluence of two rivers. Clean river sand can be seen everywhere on the river beach outside the city. Lu Weimang collected the river sand and added the caustic soda limestone he collected to make the necessary item for crossing, colored glaze.

In order to make colored glaze, Lu Weimang has been studying for a long time with the weapon masters of the generals of the Huo family, and also built a small melting furnace, and now it is the last step of melting.

"Ma'am, do you want to turn on the stove now?"

A weapon master with scorched skin on his face and who has been dealing with fire all year round asked Lu Weimang beside him.

Although he didn't know why others were making iron, but his wife actually smelted sand, but his wife's golden orders did not allow their generals to question, so even though he had a lot of doubts in his heart, he still followed his wife's orders.

"Ignite the stove!"

Lu Weimang ordered quietly.

The bright red fire ignited, "Shen Shimo, open the furnace and observe. If the sand melts, send someone to report to me."

"Here!"

The family will take the lead.

Lu Weimang went back to the study and found Huo Jing who was busier than her after coming to Yongzhou.

The two of them, husband and wife, really have no life to enjoy life.Lu Weimang can't bear to see the poverty of Jincheng here, so he takes action to improve it. Huo Jing is in Yongzhou, and needs to face the Qiang people entrenched in the grassland all the time. He also trains troops every day and deploys defenses all day long. The couple are in the study In the middle, you check your information, I arrange my defense line, do not disturb each other.

But today Lu Weimang had some worries in his heart, so he came to Huo Jing to inquire.

"If I make a tall multicolored glazed roof, everyone who passes by Jincheng can see it glowing, will it cause trouble for you to defend the Qiang people?"

Lu Weimang found Huo Jing and asked straight to the point.She wanted to make a live sign to attract merchants from all walks of life to Yongzhou.But Yongzhou is bitterly cold, and there are no special products like tea, silk, gemstones, and precious medicines that can attract merchants. After much deliberation, Lu Weimang only thought of making a gimmick to attract merchants.

As for items that are not produced by nature and need to be manufactured later, Lu Weimang first thought of glass, which is what the ancients called colored glaze.

First of all, the production of Liuli Lu Weimang can be obtained locally. There is no one in the Yellow River Basin. Clean sand can be found everywhere. There are also raw materials for molten sand, coal and wood. At this time, Yongzhou is also very abundant.

Under the premise of having this inherent advantage, the only thing Lu Weimang needs to worry about is whether the living signs she created will bring extra pressure to Huo Jing's defense.

Seeing that it was rare for Lu Weimang to come to him and he was talking about official business, Huo Jing smiled wryly, and pulled the serious Lu Weimang into his arms, "Even if you erect the Heavenly Palace in the Golden City, I can protect it for you."

Huo Jing's words were extremely domineering, and Lu Weimang was a little puzzled, "People in the court are all terrified when they talk about the Qiang people, why don't you take it seriously?"

Seeing that Lu Weimang was suspicious, Huo Jing took out his defense plan and came over, "Look, your husband is in Jincheng, and he doesn't just eat dry food. Do you know why the ruling and opposition parties said it was a rare victory in the last battle? ?Because we broke through the Yumen Pass and expelled the Qiang people to the south of the Qilian Mountains. In this way, the territory of Yongzhou will be expanded, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the BMWs in Zhangye can continuously improve the problem of insufficient horsepower in our dynasty. , as long as we don't take the initiative to attack, the Qiang people will most likely not take the initiative to launch a war. Unless there is a heavy snowstorm in winter and they can't survive without looting, they will risk their lives to start a war. Moreover, you said that building a five-color glazed roof in the city To attract the attention of the Qiang people, this is the best thing. I am in Jincheng. If the Qiang people attack from Yumen Pass, I will rush to help the pass. If you can attract the Qiang people to Jincheng, you will also ease my defense pressure."

After hearing Huo Jing's words, Lu Weimang suddenly said, "I understand when you say that. Then just wait, I will be able to build a tall five-color glazed roof in less than three months. Not only will Qiang Qiang Attracting people will also attract merchants from all over the world to Yongzhou. At that time, as long as the flow of people increases, our Yongzhou will become a new Qionglai Pass!"

As long as there are enough merchants coming, and Yongzhou is the northwest frontier of Dagan, and merchants from Dagan and the Western Regions can communicate with each other in Yongzhou, then the significance of the Qionglai Pass is not much different.

The battle between countries has little to do with businessmen.Merchants seek profit, and as long as it is profitable, there will be caravans selling the urgently needed tea to the Qiang people in exchange for their furs.And what Lu Weimang did was to use his unique five-color colored glaze to attract people of all colors to Jincheng for trading. The income of all parts of Yongzhou has increased a lot.

She, Lu Weimang, as the head of a land, can't let the people and the yamen under her rule be poor to the end, can she?

The more Lu Weimang thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes were full of fantasies about the foreseeable and beautiful future.

"Hey, it hurts."

With a sudden pain in his forehead, Lu Weimang recovered from his fantasy.

It was Huo Jing who looked at her with a smile, and withdrew the hand that smacked her head, "When you get busy, no one can take care of you. Tell me, how many days have we not had a good meal together?"

Lu Weimang touched his head, giggled, and pretended to be stupid, "Tonight, let's have a good meal together tonight."
