I'm really not doing business

Chapter 142 Wool and Wool

Wang Chonggu had to go back to the court. If he didn't come back, he would rebel. Daming had just won a big victory in Liaodong. The little emperor's reward was extremely generous. Became Uncle Ning Yuan, he directly put the matter of selling armor in Liaodong on the scale. The governor Yang Zhao and the deputy commander Zhao Wanzhi were directly convicted and executed, and Wang Nian, the man in charge of food, also ended up in a bad situation because of his innocence. Dismissed from office.

Wang Chonggu didn't dare not come back, he couldn't even play the memorial of saying goodbye, so he had to come back.

"Yang Bo left and I left. Without Yang Bo, just because you can beat Zhang Juzheng?" Wang Chonggu has a lot of strength against Zhang Siwei and the others. Even Zhang Juzheng couldn't beat Zhang Juzheng before, let alone strengthened twice. Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Siwei said quite confidently: "Everything will be fine when uncle comes back."

"What a fart!" Wang Chonggu said angrily, "I'm fine in Xuanfu!"

"Do you know how hard it took me to plug up the holes built in Xuanda's Great Wall and settle the 19 civilian husbands? I built so many farms and so many cellars, After recovering so many barren fields and cultivating so many fields, Xuanda is full of vitality and prosperity, do you know what I was doing before I was brought back?"

"Xing! Xiu! Water! Lee!"

"I am in Xuanda, and the imperial court can't move me at all. Externally, I have a tribute dispatch from me; internally, I resettle the displaced people and cultivate barren land so that they can live and work in peace. Why does the imperial court move me? The imperial court wants to cultivate land to promote To save sweet potatoes from the famine, I cultivated the fields to promote them, and the imperial court wanted to pay the army in kind, and the imperial court wanted to collect taxes and I paid the taxes. Isn’t it just a six-book ledger? The imperial court can’t do it.”

"There must always be someone to do things in the imperial court. I can do it very well. If another person can't do it well, how can the emperor and Yuanfu implement the new policy?"

"What did you guys bring me back for? What can I do? The capital is Zhang Juzheng's territory! Can I win Da Sima back to our Jin Party? Or can I replace the general with Ma Fang? Or can I get Da Situ One heart with our Jin party?"

"Six books and one account, that's what Da Situ did!"

"Not enough successes, more than failures!" Wang Chonggu flicked his sleeves, furious, never seen such a cheating uncle.

He is doing well in the Xuan Mansion. As long as he complies with the imperial government's decree, he will not only not lose money, but also make money. As for those 19 civilians, every shovel is making money for Wang Chonggu. You have to sincerely and gratefully call him Wang Dashan!
Zhang Siwei was still a little unconvinced and said: "Isn't Wu Dui taking the post of governor of Xuanda now? He's one of us, so can Xuanda's affairs be broken?"

Wang Chonggu glanced at Zhang Siwei, and said with certainty: "Yes, forget it, I can't tell you, I'm going to the Quanjin Guild Hall."

"Why do you want to go to the Quanjin Guild Hall?" Zhang Siwei was a little dazed. When Yang Bo left, Wang Chonggu agreed with Ge Shouli to be the party leader. Now that Yang Bo is buried in the ground, Wang Chonggu still wants to give Yang Bo this face?
"Because Ge Shouli is the leader of the party! The leader of the party!" Wang Chonggu flicked his sleeves and left directly. What was in Zhang Siwei's mind?Zhang Juzheng made it clear that he was splitting the Jin Party and making the Jin Party fight internally. The more fierce the fighting, the happier Zhang Juzheng was. As a result, Zhang Siwei was still in the capital, and he was always quarreling with Ge Shouli, making Zhang Juzheng laugh at it.

"I'll go with Si Kou." Wan Shihe stood up and followed Wang Chonggu to the Quanjin Guild Hall.

The people coming and going in the Quanjin Guild Hall are quite different from the past. There are not only Jin people here, but also students from Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan and other places. They are reciting poems and criticizing current affairs.

They discussed whether Yangming's philosophy of mind and contradictory theory are better or worse, discussed the impact of the imperial court's policy of opening the sea, discussed how the great victory in Liaodong would change the situation in Liaodong, and even discussed Yin Zhengmao's opposition to Lu Song. The decisive influence that divided the Japanese pirates.

Of course, there were some students who made sharp criticisms about the promotion of Da Ming Mathematical Sciences, and all kinds of words that forget their ancestors came out!But they can really understand something as mysterious as Tianyuan Technique.

Yu Menglin's questions were even pasted on the door panel, and people talked about them for a long time.

Recently, in order to oppose the promotion of "Enlightenment of Computing", scholars of Confucianism have launched a whole round of activities, among which the definition of [-] million in "Enlightenment of Computing" has been continuously written.

This issue was discussed in "Baojian of Mathematical Sciences: Names of Large Numbers": Confucianism says that a hundred thousand is a billion, and a billion is a trillion. Today's military reserve project, if it is [-] instead of [-] million, it is still [-], and [-] is [-] million, so a million is a trillion?Don't do it conveniently, let's count Yuner.

Confucian scholars want to define billions, and define one hundred thousand as one hundred million, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, why is it one hundred million?

The result of the struggle was the disastrous defeat of Confucian scholars.

His Majesty the Emperor directly decreed that there is no prohibition in the law, convenience is appropriate, tens of thousands are billions, and hundreds of thousands are billions, all of which can be used by oneself.

Then these Confucian scholars found that [-] is really not easy to use, because [-], [-], [-] have to be changed to [-], [-], and [-]. !

Sun Quan led an army of 800 to attack Hefei, and was beaten twice in a row by [-] men from Zhang Liao. Wouldn't Sun Shiwan want to change his name to Sun Yiyi?
Confucian scholars revered the ancients to the point of bewilderment, but the reality is that if you want to change the definition of billion, you must first change all the history books of the Ming Dynasty.

What Confucian scholars advocate is the law of the former kings. It is a method of lower numbers among the tenth and third usages that have been abandoned in the pre-Qin period. The middle number method has been practiced in all dynasties. Isn't that nonsense?

Quanjin Guild Hall is completely different from the deserted and deserted appearance in the past.

"Wang Sikou is back? Please come in quickly." Ge Shouli also welcomed Wang Chonggu's return to the court. Everyone has different opinions now, and it's not completely parting ways.

"Didn't you come here to worship the mountain as soon as you came back? Mr. Ge is amazing. This Quanjin Guild Hall is impressive, and it is no longer what it used to be!" Wang Chonggu admired Ge Shouli very much. This person is not smart, but Ge Shouli has self-knowledge Not changing, but really doing what you know, is several times better than those rotten Confucians.

Ge Shouli sat down with Wang Chonggu, and then said: "The prince is returning to Beijing, I have a small gift here, which is not a respect."

"Ge Gong is polite, you are polite, how can I accept it?" Wang Chonggu only thought that Ge Shouli, a poor scholar, could come up with any gifts.

Ge Shouli took out a booklet and handed it to Wang Chonggu, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty will decide whether you want it after reading it."

"This..." Wang Chonggu glanced at the book, and immediately realized that this thing, in his hands, can make a fortune, and it is not an ordinary fortune!

"I can't want this, this is taken away, I'm afraid your Majesty will put down the rebellion tomorrow, no, no, no." Wang Chonggu said no, but he still clenched his hands tightly, and then reluctantly put it down, put the book It was pushed to Ge Shouli.

If you take this thing, you're really going to be beheaded. Does Zhang Juzheng really want him to die so much?As soon as he returned to Beijing, he gave him a big gift package for the extermination of the nine races.

Ge Shouli pushed the memorial back again and said: "The imperial court wants [-]%, Your Majesty wants [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​belongs to our Jin Party. Of the [-]% of our Jin Party, [-]% belongs to the prince himself, and [-]% belongs to the Quanjin Guild Hall. Down."

Only then did Wang Chonggu know that it was not a big gift package from the Zhu Jiu Clan, but a generous gift from the imperial court!
Wang Chonggu took the booklet and said: "Ge Gong, this is a big matter. This is a matter of wealth and life, so don't talk nonsense."

"Tomorrow, when the royal court discusses, there will be Yuan Fu's book and His Majesty's seal. How can I talk nonsense?" Ge Shouli shook his head and said.

"The emperor's kindness is mighty!" Wang Chonggu held the book in his hand tightly, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. Before he left, he said that the late emperor's arbitrariness and the assistant minister's strategy were just to show his qualifications. After he returned, he also tried his best to do it. Do your own business.

As a result, when he returned to Beijing, the imperial court took out a major event for him to supervise.

Wool official factory.

Nearly 1000 years ago, Green Clothes Dashi crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and landed on the western continent. After occupying the entire Andalusia region, it further occupied some territories in France. The current Spanish royal family originated from the Castile plateau. The Castilian plateau has a typical Mediterranean climate. On that plateau, only sheep can survive.

The Andalusian region is a plain washed out by the Guadalquivir River. The green-clothed big eaters are not afraid of the Spaniards coming down the mountain because they have mastered the plains and the food. During the long reconquest campaign, the green-clothed big eaters Shi discovered that they dubbed it the principality on the back of a sheep, and its combat power became stronger and stronger.

The high-quality wool produced on the Castile Plateau passed through the Principality of Aragon and was exported to all countries in the West. This brought them a lot of income and funded the reconquest movement. Green Clothes finally lost to wool.

The Mesta Association, an association composed of shepherds, produced wool that was the largest export commodity of the Principality of Castile during the Conquest Movement. Similarly, this association had great influence in the Kingdom of Spain.

In Wang Chonggu's hands, there is a whole wool production process.

A kind of wool pusher, which is a kind of double-layer pusher specially made for shearing wool. There are two rows of bladed teeth overlapping up and down. When in use, the upper row of teeth moves left and right to cut wool, and it is specially prepared for the clipper. When the wooden box is not in use, it needs to be oiled to prevent rust; the wool brush board can comb the wool and clean the dirt on the wool.

The urine of livestock is collected, fermented, heated and used to wash wool to remove the unique smell of grease and mutton.

One sheep and three hinges are sheared in spring every year, once in summer when the weather turns from May to June, and again in early August.

Needless to say, the rest of the spinning and weaving, Daming is especially good at this.

The wool is stiff and has an indelible smell of mutton. There are lanolin, sheep sweat, sticky feces, sand, grass seeds and other dirt on the wool. This is because wool can only be woven into felt. The reason why fabrics are rarely used, and this method of His Majesty the Emperor perfectly solves these problems.

"Is this imported technology?" Wang Chonggu asked curiously after reading the booklet.

After all, the family history of Hongmaofan was mentioned. Wang Chonggu was not in the capital for a long time, and he didn't know the relationship between Daming and Hongmaofan. Could it be that the relationship has reached this point?
Hongmaofan even revealed the secret recipe of making a fortune to Daming.

Wan Shihe said with a lot of emotion: "No, what you see are all dug up by His Majesty from old books. The construction of Baoqisi, the wool reaming pusher and wool brush board, and the time of wool scissors are all from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The "Qi Min Yao Shu" records, and the urine fermentation and washing to remove the smell of mutton and [-] kinds of felt and wool dyeing materials are all found in the "Dayuan Felt Works".

"Hu Yuan will be the general manager of all kinds of folk craftsmen along the way under the jurisdiction of the academy. He specially researched the method for the imperial use of felt."

"Chen Xuehui, minister of the Honglu Temple, went to test Li Yashi, the envoy of Hong Mao Fan, Li Yashi said that he didn't know, but Chen Xuehui said that the urine was fermented and heated, and Li Yashi's jaw was so shocked that he almost dislocated his jaw. "

Wan Shihe thought it was funny when he said it, and Li Yazi's horrified expression at that time seemed as if Ming had already invaded Madrid. A large part of the conflict between the Hong Mao Fan and the English was because of the wool business.

"This..." Wang Chonggu looked at Wan Shihe with some horror. The four seedling raising methods invented by the little emperor's Bao Qisi had already surprised Wang Chonggu, and he didn't expect that there would be output!
Ge Shouli looked at Wang Chonggu and said solemnly: "Buying wool from the northern captives, and then washing and weaving wool threads or woolen fabrics, this is the way His Majesty gave the prince to check and balance the northern captives. There are only so few aquatic plants in the grassland. If you raise sheep, there is no place to raise them." The horse is gone, and this sheep will start eating people after raising it."

Ge Shouli made it very clear.

Now Wang Chonggu has two roads in front of him, one road: try his best to rise up with Ming Dynasty, gradually eliminate Beilu’s will to resist, and completely turn Beilu County into a county; the second road is to get used to his own path dependence and continue to fight with Beilu .

Wang Chonggu took this book, that is the first road he chose, this road is not easy to walk and historically, it seems to be impossible; if he refuses to take this book, he is resisting to the end, this road has already been passed.

If he refuses to take it, he must ensure that the Ming court remains as weak as it is now.

Is there any choice?No, it seems that there are two roads, but there is actually one road.

Wang Chonggu crazily called Zhang Siwei a big idiot!Big idiot!If Wang Chonggu was in Xuanfu Datong, he would not face such a choice.

"Can I go back and continue to be the governor of Xuanda?" Wang Chonggu wanted to choose the third option, pretending not to know, and go back and continue to live his own life.

Wan Shihe said with a smile: "I've come here, come back, I can't go back."

Wang Chonggu took the booklet and left the Quanjin Guild Hall, headed towards the Quan Chu Guild Hall, handed the greeting card at the Quan Chu Guild Hall, and successfully entered the Wenchang Pavilion, the study room of the Guild Hall.

Wan Shihe also accompanied Wang Chonggu to the Quanchu Guild Hall. He didn't ask for an invitation, but just said hello and walked in.

This study room is different from the past. There are a lot of small toys, such as the sky-gazing telescope, a weird chair, and a pile of pencils for writing on the table. These are some of the little emperor’s. Small inventions are often sent to the Quanchu Guild Hall in the name of giving them to Yuanfu for use because they are easy to use.

After Wang Chonggu said a few polite words, he frowned and said, "Can I go back?"

"Is it a child's play for the court to appoint people? Wang Sikou is joking." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "He came from the Quanjin Guild Hall? Did Zongxian Ge tell Wang Sikou about the wool? Please trouble Wang Sikou."

Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei and a group of wealthy businessmen, including gentry and merchants, have a conflicting relationship with the northern prisoner Altan Khan.

The tactic of this sheep cannibal is vicious and vicious. It is to let Wang Chonggu weaken the northern captives. It is like the emperor took a knife and asked Wang Chonggu to stab his allies, but Wang Chonggu had to stab him because the emperor pointed at him with a firecracker. If the northern captives don't die, Wang Chonggu and his gang will die.

Wang Chonggu said with a little reluctance: "The cost of cloth is lower than that of sweaters and wool, and it is stronger and more durable. This also means that woolen wool cannot be sold as cloth. Isn't it a waste of money to make this wool?"

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "No, at worst, sell it to Hongmaofan."

Well-made wool is still a best-seller. In order to compete with the red-haired fans in the wool market, England has made a lot of noise.

Sheep cannibalism is not Ge Shouli's imagination. According to Li Yashi's confession...the exchange between Daming and Hongmaofan, England is engaged in a land enclosure movement, especially Henry VIII, who likes Tiehunjia, and opposes the intervention of the Holy See in England. The religious reform was carried out, which led to another explosion of the enclosure movement. There are nearly 25 wandering people in London, including [-] people.

Daming is a huge market, with a population of about [-] million, such a terrifying figure, what can be produced, as long as the price is not too outrageous, warm wool will be very popular.

"Okay." Wang Chonggu could only agree. He was forced to return to Beijing by Zhang Siwei, but he had to return, and immediately fell into a passive state.

This uncle, it doesn't matter!
Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu chatted about some things about the capital. After all, Wang Sikou is not in the capital. Many things have changed. The more Wang Chonggu listens, the more panicked he becomes. Quickly, it exceeded everyone's expectations. The gentry had no power to resist Zhang Juzheng. The most important thing was that the little emperor made rapid progress.

The emperor is not confused, what should be done under the imperial system?

Change the emperor.

When Wang Chonggu left the Quanchu Guild Hall, he went to the Quanzhe Guild Hall again, met Da Sima Tan Lun, talked about the old days, encouraged each other, and ended the meeting.

When Tan Lun and Wang Chonggu met, in summary, it was just four words, rebel!
There is a battle for rebellion, and the court is too harsh and bragging, rebellion, there is nothing you can't rebel, call Shang Beilu to rebel together!
After Wang Chonggu walked out of the Quanzhe Guild Hall, his head was buzzing. Tan Lun was so clamoring that Wang Chonggu became more afraid. The rebellion meant that everyone and the nine clans would follow him to fight with Wang Chonggu.

"Wan Shangshu, in the Quanjin, Quanchu, and Quanzhe guild halls, it's like walking on flat ground." On the way back, Wang Chonggu suddenly found the person beside him, and it was not easy!
Wan Shihe went in and out of the three guild halls without even needing a greeting card, just like entering his own home.

Wan Shihe said as a matter of course: "It's not a private house, of course you can enter it."

Threshold Why is the threshold?It's not a private house, and you can't enter it casually like Wan Shihe, and the three party leaders obviously acquiesced in this behavior. Wan Shihe, a fool who changes his position according to the situation, can be so open and aboveboard.

There are problems, and the problems are big. This shows that Zhang Dang, Jin Dang, and Zhe Dang have reached a consensus in some aspects, and Wan Shihe is walking between the three guild halls on the basis of this consensus.

In the turmoil of six books and one account, the emperor ordered Wan Shihe to fall with the wind, Wang Zhigao became an official, and the emperor gave Wan Shihe a chance to run away. If Wan Shihe didn't run away, then Wan Shihe and He is a person without party affiliation, and he is also a member of the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Jin Party.

This complicated identity made Wang Chonggu feel sorry for him. The sky of the court had changed.

Damn Zhang Siwei.

Antonio took a large number of glazed wares all the way south, and arrived at Nanjing City of Yingtianfu. He stood in front of a glazed pagoda in Dabaoen Temple, raised his head vigorously, and looked at the tall pagoda in front of him.

The first glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple has nine floors and eight sides, is about 23 feet four feet six inches high (26 floors), and has a circumference of about 67 steps (100 meters). The top of the glazed tower is a pearl made of pure gold. It is about one foot two feet, and there are 150 copper wind chimes hanging from the corners of the eaves on each floor. There are [-] wind chimes from top to bottom. Even in the light breeze, the crisp bells can be heard for miles.

Antonio standing under the tower could not imagine how the soaring glazed tower was built.

In the entire first glazed tower, except for a tube of wood on the top of the tower, the whole building is not made of wood. It is a tall building made entirely of glazed components of various shapes and colors.

Marcus, the first mate, also looked up at the tall building made entirely of colored glaze, and muttered to himself, "We should go, it's really a perfect porcelain tower."

"This is a miracle, isn't it? Only God can create such a high tower without any flaws." Antonio still doesn't want to leave, standing under the tower, he wants to go in, but this tower is a commemoration of the first empress of Ming Dynasty Pagoda, there is no imperial edict, how can he go to the pagoda as a red-haired fan?

First Officer Marcus pulled Antonio and said, "We really should go, enough is enough."

"This is a hundred thousand craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. It took 20 years to build it. Isn't our biggest harvest this time, those well-made, unique glassware?"

"You two, we should leave." Gao Qiyu, who was ordered to go to the West, was the one who took the provincial examination in Yingtianfu and produced "Shun Yi Yi Ming Yu", which almost made Zhang Juzheng absolutely passive and became an official. Gao Qiyu has already learned Latin, with credentials, went to France as an envoy.

This time it was on Antonio's four-masted galleon.

"Well, my artist drew it, and everyone in Taixi will be amazed by it, a miracle." Antonio followed Gao Qiyu away step by step, heading for Songjiang Mansion.

The three four-masted galleons have been purchased, and the ships are full of silk, tea, porcelain, cotton cloth, iron pots, lacquerware, etc. The goods are not full, and their silver is not enough to buy more The goods are gone.

It’s just that before Antonio boarded the ship, he frowned and looked at the coastline, and said in a daze, “Mate, that’s the Galese battleship! Why did it appear here?!”

The battleship Calais, the proud warship of Felipe II, defeated the Armada of the Ottoman Navy, which is their greatest pride.

It's nothing more than a Calaisai battleship in Manila, which was supervised by the governor of Luzon, Francisco, but why, there is also a warship in Songjiang Prefecture, and it is still a warship with a different canvas!
"Yes, it may be that after the governor's defeat, Daming obtained the blueprints, and that's why he has them." First officer Marcus said with some shortness of breath.

This is their boat style!As a result, the people inside are completely different, and have changed into the shape of Daming!
"You two, a five-masted ocean-going ship is being built in the dock over there. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. His Majesty has promised the prince that he can buy weapons, and the five-masted ocean-going ship can also be sold to the prince." Gao Qiyu led the two of them to the dock.

The keel of the thousand material ship has already begun to be built.

The new ship cannot be called Fengzhou, that is trespassing, and the new ship is called a five-masted plywood giant ship, which is not very pleasant, so Songjiang Shipyard named the new ship a foreign ship, a very simple name, it can cross the ocean.

Gao Qiyu said enthusiastically: "It has two artillery decks, a total of 36 crew members, and a total of 350 artillery positions on the left and right sides. Of course, the artillery needs to be paid separately. It is equipped with 21 hammock positions, even if it is slightly overloaded. It doesn’t matter if it’s a storage room for gunpowder or ammunition. Of course, gunpowder needs to be paid separately. He also has [-] sails, and he can sail six hundred miles a day without fear of headwinds.”

"It can also be used as a merchant ship, but I don't recommend that, it's too wasteful."

"Not counting artillery, firecrackers, gunpowder, etc., it costs about 15 taels of silver a piece. With the financial resources of the two of you, there is no problem at all."

No wonder it's affordable!The ship is expensive, the firearms are expensive, the crew is expensive, and the maintenance of the fleet is even more expensive!If Antonio could buy fifteen of these warships and return to Tessi, he would say that he was the emperor of all Tessie, and the Pope would have to bow his knees for him.

Obviously, this is an ocean-going warship, far more advanced than the Calaisian warship!
Looking at this warship, Antonio was a little annoyed. It was obviously born out of their warship, but it already had only a little bit of the shadow of the Calaisian battleship, and it seemed that the combat power was even stronger.

"Damn Francis!" Antonio couldn't scold his new investor as a despicable thief, so he could only scold the captured Luzon Governor. Why didn't he die in battle!

"Captain, are those ships flying?" First Officer Marcus frowned and looked at the hydrofoil sailboat. The water mist pulled out obscured the shape of the ship, and only a white line could be seen across the sea.

Such a fast boat.

　Ten grades and three uses are three bases, and the lower base is ten billions of billions of trillions, and every ten advances.The median system is ten million, one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred million, one billion, one billion, one billion, one million, one million, one hundred million.That is the current system.The first glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple is a top-notch building in Europe, and France and Britain have imitated this pagoda one after another.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! !
