Han Dao world

Liu Xie and Zhen Mi were chatting lively, but Lu Xiaohuan was a little puzzled, and asked Zhen Mi, "Do you want to stay in the Central Plains, or go to the Western Regions with us? It's too fast to change your mind once in a while."

Zhen Mi rested her chin, feeling worried. "I don't know either. I want to go to the Western Regions, but I can't bear my family."

"Shouldn't we just go together?"

Zhen Mi smiled wryly and did not answer.

Liu Xie patted Lu Xiaohuan and changed the subject.

She was born in a poor family, and her thinking is single-line, so she can't understand the difficulties of the big family.Zhen Mi has five sisters alone, plus her father's family and mother's family, there are hundreds of people, big and small.

Is it like those aristocratic families who were just exiled?
It takes half a life to move, let alone moving thousands of miles away.

Therefore, the Western Expedition cannot be the cause of everyone, it can only be a historical responsibility that can only be undertaken by those who have more dedication than concern.He reformed the military service system and made recruitment a part of it to prepare for the future Western Expedition.

Those who apply must not only have the ambition to make contributions, but also have the consciousness to bear the consequences, and they must be responsible for their own choices, and the state cannot pay all the bills.

It is unrealistic to pour all the power of a country into the west like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is unbearable economically and politically.

Zhen Mi obviously didn't have such an awareness yet, so let her stay in the Central Plains.

After chatting with Lu Xiaohuan and Zhen Mi for a while, Liu Xie came to Queen Fushou's room.

Fu Shou was settling accounts, and when he saw Liu Xie coming in, he stood up to greet him and said with joy, "Your Majesty, the harvest of the weaving workshop has tripled this year, and the new loom is really useful. If it weren't for the shortage of raw silk , maybe even more.”

"Then you have money." Liu Xie sat down, picked up the eldest son of the emperor, and put him on his lap.

"What do the concubines want money for? These are all prepared for His Majesty." Fushou said, stopping the Qiao sisters who were about to prepare tea. "You are all nobles, how can you let you do these things, let others do it."

Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, but Daqiao said: "Your Majesty and Your Highness are here, why should others come to serve you? We should serve you. Your Highness will accompany His Majesty to speak, and leave the rest to us." I went to the small bridge that was a little stunned.

Fu Shou was very satisfied. "After all, Daqiao is the older sister, the best at caring for others."

Liu Xie agreed.Daqiao is stable and Xiaoqiao is delicate and naive, with very different personalities.

He flipped through the ledger, happy in his heart.This textile industry is indeed a shortcut to enter the gate of industrialization. It can not only absorb a large amount of labor, but also generate enough profit to provide power for upgrading and iteration.

Daying first realized the industrial revolution, which has a lot to do with the textile industry.

But a big man is not a big man, he has a unique Gao Lilan commodity - silk, it doesn't matter if the cost is a little higher, and there is no need to resort to the low-level tricks of sheep and cannibalism.But after the war, the lack of household registration also made the application of new technology profitable.

The loom improved by Ma Jun has now been iterated three times. In order to reduce manpower, some places have even begun to consider hydraulic looms, and the dawn of automation is about to appear.

"How do you plan to solve the problem of insufficient raw silk?"

"The shortage of raw silk is mainly due to the limited production of mulberry leaves and oak leaves. The concubine discussed with Mr. Xun Gui and wanted to cooperate with the agricultural school to see if they could do something to increase the production of mulberry leaves and oak leaves." …

Liu Xie thought for a while, and told Fushou about the research findings of Jiangwutang on saltpeter.

He remembered that the main ingredient of saltpeter is potassium nitrate, which can not only be used as explosives, but also the main ingredient of chemical fertilizers.

The upgrading of agriculture is inseparable from chemical fertilizers. Without the upgrading of the chemical industry, the upgrading of agriculture is impossible.

He couldn't speak in such detail or depth, but Fushou had a need in this regard. As long as he provided a clue, the people of the Agricultural School would naturally explore and experiment.

If it succeeds, the food production will be guaranteed.

With more food, more people can be fed.With more people, other developments are possible.

Sure enough, Fu Shou was very interested and immediately asked Xun Wenqian to come.

While coaxing the baby, the three discussed the possible effects of saltpeter, and estimated how much the weaving workshop's income would increase after the production of raw silk was guaranteed, and how long it would take to raise enough money and food for Xizheng.

Xun Yun is in the Western Regions, and Xun Wenqian is quite enthusiastic about it.

Accompanied by Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu came to Situ Mansion together.

Yang Biao was still busy ahead, so he went to the backyard to meet his sister, Mrs. Yuan.Brother and sister meet, can't help feeling a little embarrassed.Knowing that Yuan Shu had met Yuan Tan, Mrs. Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shu was dissatisfied, he asked Mrs. Yuan, was this case independently undertaken by the Sikong Mansion, and did the Situ Mansion participate?Why was it dealt with so severely that even Yuan Tan was exiled.

When Mrs. Yuan heard this, she knew that Yuan Shu was holding back her anger and that she might find trouble with Zhou Zhong, so she couldn't help but smile wryly.

"It's Zhou Zhong who suffers the most when this project is done like this."

"Is he uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Yuan told what happened.This is not a secret to the local officials, but to the local officials, the truth of this matter has not been spread, and many people do not know how much role the Son of Heaven plays in it.

After listening to Mrs. Yuan's narration, Yuan Shu realized that the person who really decided the direction was not Zhou Zhong, but the Son of Heaven. Apart from being discouraged, he was also a little upset, so he couldn't help but sneered.

"I didn't expect that this skeletal minister would have the same confession as me. I thought he would be upright for a lifetime."

"What do you know?" Yang Biao walked in from the outside and gave Yuan Shu an angry look. "You admit cowardice for the sake of one family and one surname. Zhou Jia seeks power for the sake of the entire Confucian school."

Yuan Shu disagreed.

Yuan Yao stood up and saluted.

Yang Biao glanced at Yuan Yao. "Boyang, you have always been around the emperor, you should know the whole story, why don't you explain a thing or two to your father?"

Yuan Yao showed a slight smile. "It's not that my father doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't want to give up his elder brother Xiansi, so there is no need to explain."

Yang Biao laughed twice. "You are filial, and you know how to cover up for him. I'm afraid he really doesn't understand, and there will be some troubles. Last time Liu Jingsheng was angry to death, that's all. If he is angry with Zhou Jiamou again, the Yuan family in Runan will be in the future. The Confucianism School will not be able to gain a foothold."

Yuan Shu's cheeks twitched, but he didn't dare to speak.

He knew that Liu Biao's death made many scholars dissatisfied, even Yang Biao, who didn't have a particularly good impression of Liu Biao.But in the final analysis, the fundamental reason those people don't like him is because he presided over the drawing of the Luoyang scroll.

How many of those who have mansions in Luoyang City have not overstepped?In terms of etiquette, there are less than eleven people who have a clear conscience like Yang Biao, and most of them have more or less violated the etiquette they professed.

It's just that everyone is like this, so no one takes it seriously.

Now that he has exposed this matter, he has also painted those illegal mansions into scrolls, printed them all over the world, and left them for future generations, so that the hypocrisy of countless people has been exposed, how can he not become angry from shame.

Thousands of people point at it, but die without illness.He had already thought about this consequence.

It was precisely because of this that he was annoyed at not being able to keep Yuan Tan.
