Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 881 Liu Ruyu Went to Yangzhou
Liu Ruyu said: "Take clothing materials as an example. Paper clothes have completely withdrawn from the market. As long as the people of Tang Dynasty have hands and feet and are willing to work, they will not be so poor that they rely on paper clothes to survive the winter. Some remote villages in the mountains , All the counties took the whole village out to let the mountains and forests return to nature, although I don’t understand the purpose of doing this, but it was Dalang’s proposal, and the holy will supports it.”

Dugu Lanruo didn't think much about it, but thought that it was a good deed to take people over from the poor mountain valley and live a good life.

Liu Ruyu continued: "Among the clothing materials, there is also burlap, which is already in excess of demand. Right now, the supply of burlap needs to be fine white burlap and heavy burlap for work clothes. Calculated based on the burlap obtained by the General Shipping Department from Qiandao Road, we can Only [-]% of the total linen is used for fine white linen and tooling heavy linen."

Dugu Lanruo asked: "There are also hemp ropes and hemp for sails."

"Some are relatively thin, which is not suitable for hemp rope or sail, and can be used for weaving. Even the farmers around Chang'an are willing to buy cotton underwear and fine linen coats."

Dugu Lanruo nodded: "I understand, in order to increase the amount of fine linen, it is necessary to increase the production of linen in Qiandao Road, and the excess coarse linen must also be useful."

"What the princess said is true, so the Ministry of Finance's opinion is to forcefully promote the market for Koguryo sackcloth. I believe Dalang has many ways to do this."

"Speaking of Ma, I heard a gossip."

"Listen, princess."

"When I was in Lingnan before, I saw a strange kind of soft armor. I heard from the locals that it was a kind of hemp armor handed down from the ancient Nanman. The multi-layered hemp armor is very good at preventing arrows, but it is not fireproof. The ability to resist slashing is also very ordinary, if you meet a general like the eldest brother-in-law, you will be able to slash even people with armor."

After listening to Dugu Lanruo, Liu Ruyu smiled: "General Yuchi even cut open the mountain armor in Huayuan Workshop, after all, there are only a few generals of this level who use top quality knives. Just now, we talked about clothing materials, third-class wool, The sales of rough wool in Chang'an are extremely poor, and there are still sales in the northern states."

"You mean, if you can't wait until it's completely unsalable, you have to solve it earlier?"

"That's what it means. In addition, the demand for cotton cloth has doubled, the demand for fine wool products has doubled, and the demand for spices, salt, etc. has doubled. Even the wooden barrels are not enough in Chang'an right now. This is not even talking about food. When people get rich, they also want to buy some meat, and dried pickled fish has become one of the scarce supplies.”

Even if Dugu Lanruo was in Chang'an, she wouldn't know this, she belonged to the type of person who didn't need to worry about food and clothing.

Liu Ruyu didn't give too many examples. It can be said that besides gold and silver, Chang'an has everything that is not lacking.

If it weren't for the implementation of the supply quota system for some necessities of life, rice alone would be enough to cause a lot of chaos in Chang'an.

Who will eat sorghum when they have money to eat white rice?

When it comes to statistical quotas, the team brought by Liu Ruyu is the elite, and her people produced a detailed report only two days after taking over.

The Wei family brought ten boxes of gold coins and wanted to participate, Dugu Lan Ruo wanted to give this face.

However, Dugu Lanruo privately gave Concubine Yang another investment of ten boxes of gold coins, which Dugu Lanruo paid in advance.

After resting for two days, Liu Ruyu set up a long table in the Xiao family's manor, covered it with brocade and placed small shelves, and then laid out ten imperial edicts and more than 20 official documents of the Minister of State in a row. , more than a dozen official documents of the Ministry of Households, more than a dozen official documents of the General Shipping Department, and a thick stack of letters written by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Ruyu picked up the first letter first.

"His Majesty wrote it himself. This is a family letter and an imperial decree. The sage asked the eldest son of the emperor, Chengqian, to go to the country of Qiandao before the first day of the first month of next year to assist Zou Guogong to develop an undeveloped land. In two years, the output of abaca should not be less than one million tons." , The output of rice shall not be less than 200 million tons, and the output of fish shall not be less than one million tons."

This letter has been transcribed with permission.

Those who came to copy the letters were basically related to Li Chengqian. My uncle's family was the Su family, and there were also Chang Shi, teachers, etc. in the mansion.

While these people were copying, Liu Ruyu picked up another letter
"Prince Ke, the sage asked to go to Iyojima Island before the first day of the first month of next year, and the island is Sangtian...

A task no easier than Li Chengqian.

The few princes who came out to practice were not here, after Liu Ruyu read these letters publicly, someone would naturally deliver them.The public recitation is to give the nobles a chance.

For example, Hongnong Yang.

Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was the Yang family of Hongnong, and Yang Jian was a descendant of Yang Mu during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

The Sui royal family is basically dead. Since Li Ke, the son of Concubine Yang, has been assigned a task, the Hongnong Yang family must stand up and support it.Not to mention that Concubine Yang is a member of the Hongnong Yang family, and Li Ke's quasi-princess is also the daughter of the Hongnong Yang family.

Hongnong Yang will definitely stand up to help Li Ke, if he wants money and money, he needs people.

"Prince Tai..."

Liu Ruyu called the princes who were all about the same age and came out to practice.The youngest of them is Li You, the son of Concubine Yin.Concubine Yin's father is Li Yuan's mortal enemy, but the Yin family is still there.In addition, Li You made a marriage, Changan Webster, so Webster will also come forward.

Liu Ruyu put down the rest of Li Shimin's autographed letters, some letters don't need to be made public.

For example, Li Shimin privately gave Qin Qiong, Li Xiaogong, and Liu Mu.

Liu Ruyu picked up an official document from Shangshu Province.

"With Huating County being elevated to the prefecture, Huating's candidate is Cui Yiye, who will temporarily take the post of governor. Huating County is one of the important ports in the south of the Yangtze River. The raw silk warehouse will be expanded by five times, and the raw hemp processing capacity will be expanded by ten times..."

If Cui Yiye was here, he would probably be in a cold sweat.

Officials at all levels in Huating were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea, but Shang Shuxing made a request. If he wanted to truly become a governor of Xiazhou and complete Huating's feat of being promoted from a county to a state, then he had to complete these tasks.

"With Cixi Liushi..."

"The former governor of Shouzhou, Lu Fuli, was transferred to Maoshan Mine Command...

"Written by the former governor of Jiangzhou...

Listening to these public orders one by one, these ladies went from being surprised to stunned, and then to sweating.

Why did Liu Ruyu read these to them? After hearing the orders, the ladies understood that the court was planning to fully develop the land they already occupied, turning these lands into granaries and huge purchases. market.

Liu Ruyu didn't feel tired, and read one after another.

She didn't worry about these documents, edicts, and orders being spread out. Those who could sit in this garden were all the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Every order here was related to the interests of every family and the future of every family's children.

It is impossible for the Goguryeo people to know these orders.

Rather than having the nobles communicate with each other in the next few months, it is better to read it openly in front of countless people, so that these people can understand another factor.
