Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 752 Workers
At this moment, several women walked in accompanied by several young people.Looking around, he sat beside Yue Fei.

It is not a good idea for women to go out to drink.Yue Fei couldn't help taking a few more glances, but he saw that these women were very well dressed, they didn't look like prostitutes.Yue Fei couldn't help frowning.Wang Xiaoli is good at everything, but he is too indulgent to the people under his rule.

Several people sat down, and one called out the servant loudly.Said: "One kidney per person, another fish, and twenty skewers of meat. By the way, there is iced wine, and serve it in a big glass!"

The boy said yes.Asked: "Would you like some cold dishes, everyone. Before the barbecue is served, eat it first."

The man said: "Yes. What do you want? Come up with your ideas!"

A person next to him said: "Mung bean sprouts with cold sauce, tofu with shallots, lotus root slices with cold sauce—and a preserved egg. That's enough!"

The boy wrote them down one by one, and hurried to urge the dishes.

Seeing these people behaving presumptuously and without etiquette, Yue Fei next to him didn't like it.

The man who ordered food said: "Today's meal should be invited by Xi Sanniang. Sanniang, do we agree with the dishes we ordered?"

A burly woman said: "It's okay. What's your dissatisfaction? You guys, don't think I'm a woman, just come and cheat my money."

Yue Fei nodded: "I see. ——These workers are different from the previous ones."

Yue Fei is Zhao Gou's confidant, and he was single-handedly promoted, so he is naturally not comparable to others.Wang Xiaolie was indifferent to the imperial court, neither openly breaking up, and even said that he could allow court officials to serve under his rule.On the other hand, officials who came under the rule had to be retrained before being put on duty.More importantly, Wang Xiaolie has always maintained a firm control over the army.Not only personnel, but also logistics, never let the court intervene.

Xu Qingdao: "Don't worry about the difference between them. Does the Taiwei know how profitable the textile factories in Xiangyang are? Now in Xiangyang City, there are three spinning factories alone. Besides, there are five weaving factories. There are seven dyeing workshops. I don’t know how much money these workshops make a year!"

Wang Xiaolie had not yet invented the hydraulic spinning machine.It just improves the original spinning machine and is suitable for factory production.Coupled with the shuttle used for weaving, the scale of the loom has been expanded, and the textile industry has less of a factory foundation.

After Zhao Gou took control of the government, he had the strength to fight the Jin army.It was also Zhao Gou who took control of the power of the imperial court, and the peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties in Shaoxing were so stable.It should be said that the Southern Song Dynasty's claim that Zhao Gou was the master of ZTE was exaggerated.However, Zhao Gou's ability in the early Southern Song Dynasty should not be underestimated.

After speaking, I looked around.Sure enough, the guests here are different from other places.He spoke loudly and behaved a bit rudely, no wonder he felt weird when he came in.These people should be the workers of the factory.

After going south, Zhao Gou didn't have any trusted generals for a long time, so he was restrained everywhere for this.Even in the third year of Jianyan, the Miao and Liu changes occurred.Zhao Gou's response was to train generals such as Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, and gradually grasped the military power.

Yue Fei said: "This year Wang Xuanfu's territory has expanded to Shaanxi and southern Shanxi. It should not be enough to rely on those factories. So it makes sense to set up a new factory in Luoyang. But although the factory is good, the workers inside But it’s very different from the others.”

Just as I was talking, the cold dishes came up.Several people stopped talking and started eating.

Since Wang Xiaolie started to set up a factory in Xiangyang, most of the money he earned was used as capital to expand reproduction.Now that we are about to see cash, we will start a new round of investment in Luoyang.Up to now, the industrial sector has only been rapidly expanding its assets and has not been able to provide financial support for Wang Xiaolie.

After speaking, Yue Fei looked thoughtfully at the boundless night.

Yue Fei listened to them talking, he didn't seem like a man in the world.He whispered to Xu Qing: "In your opinion, who are these people? Hearing what they say, they look like normal people. But women from normal families, how can they come out to drink at this time?"

With the factory-oriented textile industry, coupled with the stable cotton varieties and large-scale promotion, the textile industry in Xiangyang has developed rapidly in the past two years.After occupying Luoyang, most of the factories in Xiangyang opened branches in Luoyang to occupy new markets.

A few years before the turn of the Song Dynasty, we couldn't just see Zhao Gou's continuous fleeing south, being chased and beaten by the Jin army.We also need to see the process of Zhao Gou's training of generals and gradually mastering military power.Zhao Gou was in the southeast, appreciated and promoted Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, and directly controlled half of the troops of the four generals.In the southwest, although Zhang Jun fought and failed repeatedly, he gradually promoted Wu Lin, Wu Jie brothers, Liu Qi and others, and integrated the Sichuan army.The efforts of the two made Zhao Gou truly master the government.

After looking around, Yue Fei said: "Under Wang Xuanfu's rule, the market is prosperous and all kinds of commodities are available, which is far from comparable to other places. However, Wang Xuanfu's independence from the imperial court is not a long-term solution."

The man laughed and said, "Sanniang is the leader in the field. The spinning field in Luoyang is newly opened, so it is naturally very busy."

After traveling south from Tongzhou and joining Zhang Jun's team, Yue Fei's military skills could be noticed by Zhao Gou.In the past two years, he has been cultivating deliberately, and now Zhang Jun's subordinates have formed an army alone.It can be said that Yue Fei is the most trusted general and has the best conditions just like Zhao Gou cultivated Zhang Jun.

The man hurriedly said: "How dare you! Who doesn't know that Sanniang is the most careful? I lied to you now, and I won't trouble us in the future!"

Xi Sanniang said: "It's good that you know! Sigh, I've been so busy recently that my mind is always dizzy."

Xu Qing lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I remembered! In recent days, I often hear people talking about opening spinning mills, weaving mills, and dyeing mills in Luoyang. These people think they are spinning The workers at the field!"

what does that mean?For Yue Fei, it was very difficult to deal with.

On the one hand, Wang Xiaolie's rule was prosperous and stable, with rapid economic development.On the other hand, under the rule of the imperial court, there were constant turmoil and heavy taxes.For the people of the Song Dynasty, of course they hope to live under Wang Xiaolie's rule.In fact, the population has also rapidly concentrated in the Xiangyang area in recent years.

What about Yue Fei?The voice of the common people must be heard, but the emperor's will must not be violated.Now that the two sides are in peace, it does not mean that there will be peace in the future.There is a common enemy, the Jin Army. Now that the imperial court and Wang Xiaolie have not broken their faces, what will happen when there is no more Jin Army?
Yue Fei sighed deeply and shook his head.

When Xu Qing saw it, he just lowered his head and drank.He could roughly guess why Yue Fei was sighing, but this was not what he was considering.What about the future?Thank goodness there is Yue Taiwei to think about it, I just pretend not to know.
