My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 366 Textile Industry

After the Ling sisters went to the VIP room of Rouge Square once, they fell in love with it and never wanted to return to the capital again.

It wasn't until dark that the two Ling sisters reluctantly left Rouge Square.

By this time, it was already dark outside.

But the streets of Qiongzhou are filled with specially made lanterns.

These lanterns contained candles in porcelain bowls. After the wick burned out, the wick could be replaced and used again.

Because there are so many lanterns hanging, the whole street is still bright.

In addition to the shops that are open for business, there are also many small vendors on the roadside.

Although there are not as many people as during the day, the streets are still lively.

Ling Yanli lifted the car curtain and looked at the scene outside. She couldn't help but sigh: "How can there be such a good place in this world?"

Ling Yanzhu pressed her hands on her moist face, feeling that she was a few years younger.She was happy but also sour at the same time, "I heard that Rouge House is Jiang's property! How much money do you think she will make in a day?"

"What does this mean? From now on, the whole world will be hers. Why do you still care about this little bit of property?" Ling Yanli said, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.

But soon, she was attracted by the scene outside.

If she hadn't been delayed for too long today and worried about being blamed by her husband if she returned late, she would have wanted to go for a walk.

On the other side, the Qu family's father and son were also filled with emotion.

Like the Ling sisters, the father and son also gained a lot.Several people held arms full of books.

They bought these in the study room today.

The brothers originally thought that the questions in this scientific examination were very strange and they were completely confused.After reading the books in the study room, they suddenly realized.

At this time, several people only regretted coming to Lingnan too late and encountering these books too late.

The father and son left the study, got on the carriage and walked slowly home.

Looking at the lively scene outside the street, the father and son did not speak.

Such a lively night market is very rare even in the capital.In the capital, except for lanterns hung in front of the doors of wealthy households, there are no street lights on ordinary streets.

In Lingnan, the study has a reading area, and the books in the reading area can be viewed at will without charge. There are also so many lighting lanterns on the streets for the use of passers-by at night.

In addition, they also heard about many new policies in Lingnan.For example, the government will rent cattle and the latest farm tools to farmers for farming, and they only need to hand over a certain amount of grain when paying taxes.

And the newly made farm tools really surprised them.And such exquisite farm tools, samples and drawings were placed so generously in the display cabinet.

Anyone can copy the drawings and make them themselves when they go back. If there is anything they don’t understand, the store clerk will explain it to them.

This is completely different from the education they received since childhood.

Whenever any aristocratic family has any secrets in their hands, who doesn't hide it, fearing that others will learn it?
Books are a symbol of status.

Some books that are privately collected by aristocratic families are not easily loaned out.

Even if poor students can study, their resources are far inferior to those of aristocratic families.

But everything in Lingnan has subverted their understanding.

Here, civilians can also read. There are many books in the reading area in the study, and there are no identity restrictions.

Some skills are directly made public for everyone to discuss and pursue common progress.

Looking at the prosperous scene in Lingnan, Qu Siyuan couldn't help but feel suspicious, "Dad, General Lu has already recovered the lost territory, but he has never made any next move. Is he planning to move the capital?" Qu Xiujie pondered along his beard, feeling that this was true. Hard to say.

After all, Jiang Tangtang's current actions clearly indicate that he still wants to vigorously develop Lingnan.

He thought for a while and said: "No matter what, let's buy a house and property in Qiongzhou first!"

Like the Qu family, many distinguished families are wondering whether the Lu family will move their capital to Lingnan after becoming emperor.

They all rushed to buy houses and properties in Lingnan.

Everyone's speculation has led to another surge in real estate sales in Lingnan.

However, Jiang Tangtang did not intend to move the capital as they suspected.The reason why she postponed the coronation ceremony was because she felt that she should devote all her energy to restoring agriculture first.

Of course, she is also happy to see the results of the meritorious families' random speculations and their spending a lot of money to buy properties in Lingnan, thus boosting the local economy.

Not only that, she also gave Lu Zhixi ideas to build entertainment and consumption venues in the city.

Plans such as the Orchard Wine Shop and Tea Mountain, which had to be stopped due to drought two years ago, have also been reopened.

In addition, Jiang Tangtang also decided to vigorously develop the textile industry.

The drought not only caused farmers to lose their harvest, but almost all vegetation that could be used for textiles, such as cotton and linen, dried up.

Wool fabrics were the most popular in the market last winter.

Jiang Tangtang has planned out a suitable place for growing cotton based on maps and personal visits on Gugu.

In addition to attracting refugees to move in, there is now another thorny problem: the shortage of cotton seeds.

When Jiang Tangtang was in modern times, he ran a farmhouse, and most of the land was used to grow fruits, vegetables, etc., and urbanites could pick the crops themselves when they went to the countryside.There are also flowers and plants that beautify the environment.

Therefore, there are no cotton seeds in her space.Later, although I paid attention to collecting seeds, most of them were seeds of medicinal crops, but I did not specifically collect cotton seeds.

When Jiang Tangtang was worried, Lu Shiyan said: "The wealthy families in southern Xinjiang should keep cotton seeds in their hands."

The southern Xinjiang area is the cotton-producing land of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There are many textile families in the local area.The family maintains a large number of slaves, and everything from planting cotton to picking cotton and finally spinning and weaving is done by the slaves named after them.

Textile technology is also completely in the hands of the family.

However, disasters continued in the past two years, and everything became a mess.The slaves fled in large numbers, and the aristocratic families did not care about escaping for their lives.

Today's world has been reshuffled.

Many slaves who fled to Lingnan already had new identities.

Jiang Tangtang wants to organize these people who can weave and teach more people to spin and weave.

At the same time, she also wanted to copy the textile-related books in the book bar and teach them to these people to see if she could promote the progress of the textile industry in this era and finally realize mechanical textiles.

Of course, it is still too far ahead to think about mechanical textiles.

For now, let’s solve the problems of seeds and planting first!
Jiang Tangtang said: "Then I will send someone to investigate and buy some seeds from these aristocratic families."

Cotton cannot be planted until April or May, so it is no problem to rely on space for breeding.

Moreover, based on previous experience, seeds grown in space are not only less susceptible to pests and diseases but also have higher yields when planted outside.

(My dear friends, chapters 348 and 349 have been slightly modified. The changes are not very big. If you want to go back and read them, you can read the rest of chapter 348.
