At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 98
Xu Mu's eyes lit up, and he left the angry Lin Qingcheng directly, and went to the scene.

"According to the master's task guide, this spinning wheel only needs to assist part of the labor, and with the help of water power, it can complete the work of three to five people." An old craftsman explained beside Xu Mu.

Xu Mu looked at the spinning wheel in front of him, very excited.

"It's finally out!"

Right now, there are only less than two months left before the appointment with Lao Yang.

Cotton must be spun into cloth before he can go to Jiangdu and open Jiangdu's market.

After walking out of the research institute, Xu Mu took the new hydraulic spinning wheel and the map drawn by Fang Yizhi, and found the vicinity of the reservoir outside the city.

Although it is in the mountains, the terraced fields need to be irrigated, so Xu Mu ordered people to dig a reservoir to store water in case of drought.

The textile workshop was built beside the reservoir, which can make great use of water power.

Then, Xu Mu gave Fang Xuanling an order to recruit women who could weave in the city.

Xu with a wage of twenty Wen per day.

In a short time, more than two hundred people were recruited.

Compared with scholars, there is no shortage of people who can farm and weave in Wanmin City.

Afterwards, Xu Mu briefly explained the principle of the hydraulic spinning wheel to these women, and they began to use cotton to weave.

On the first day, ten feet of cloth were produced.

These women were completely shocked.

The cloth spun by the new spinning wheel is more neat, smooth and smooth, which they have never seen in their entire lives.

On the second day, when they gradually became familiar with the situation, they gave birth to thirty feet of cloth.

In the next few days, it gradually stabilized, and the daily output was about forty feet.

Xu Mu estimated the time. After about ten days, the first batch of cloth could be accumulated and set off for Jiangdu, so that the news of Yang Guang's "death" would spread throughout the world.

……

In the Lord's Mansion building, Fang Xuanling covered his face and found Xu Mu.

"My lord, there are... a group of widows wanting to buy cloth."

Xu Mu was confused, but when he saw the bright red finger marks on Fang Xuanling's face, he couldn't help asking, "Madam beat you again?"

Fang Xuanling blushed and lowered her head.

It turned out that when he was found by a group of widows, he happened to be seen by Mrs. Fang.

This well-known and famous vinegar jar showed his power on the spot and almost beat Fang Xuanling half to death.

In the end, the group of widows stopped her, saying that they were looking for... the lord, so Mrs. Fang gave up.

In order to thank them for their "life-saving grace", Fang Xuanling immediately agreed to ask for instructions on their behalf.

These widows are the women recruited by the new textile workshop.

They were originally tailors. After seeing the exquisiteness of these cloths, they wanted to buy some, and then opened a shop in Wanmin City to make clothes.

After Fang Xuanling inquired, it was only then that they got this idea because they saw the boom in the sugar man business.

After hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "It's a good thing to want to buy, do they have enough capital? If not, just write an IOU!"

Fang Xuanling: "..." He looked at Xu Mu with resentment.

"My lord, we have collected a lot of IOUs."

He thought of the backlog of IOUs from the common people in the warehouse, which caused the finances to be somewhat beyond their means.

If it weren't for Luoyang's Xianweiju making a lot of money every day, the daily operation of Wanmin City would not be able to maintain.

No way, the people of this era are too poor.

To buy seeds, you need to pay an IOU.

To open a shop, you need to pay an IOU.

Buying a house requires an IOU...

Xu Mu didn't care about this, "Lao Fang, you have to learn to look at problems in the long run. Now that the people are poor, our top priority is to make a small number of people rich, so that the first rich can drive the later rich, so as to realize the common prosperity of the common people! "

Fang Xuanling's body trembled, and she looked at Xu Mu in disbelief.

He was shocked by this cross-age theory.

If you think about it, it really makes sense.

He pondered on the spot for a long time, and he had a lot of feelings. He bowed down to Xu Mu and said, "My lord's words are true. If the people are poor, the country will be poor. Let the people be rich. The country is strong, and the city is strong. This reason."

Xu Mu nodded. He found that under his exaggeration, Wang Tong and Fang Xuanling had already begun to accept his ideas.

Wang Tong is well-known, knows how to adapt, and is not a corrupt scholar. He is very relieved to be the principal of the evening school.

Lao Fang is also good at governing the world. Under his governance, Wanmin City is developing in an orderly manner and at a high speed.

……

After coming out of the lord's mansion, Xu Mu met Kong Xingyue.

Kong Xingyue at this time, because he has been digging holes...

The originally dark skin became much fairer.

He was carrying a peace knife that cut iron like mud, and looked at Xu Mu with resentment.

"My lord, what about the promised birthday gift? Why... are there a lot of people now?"

During these days, he has been working in Wanmin City as the general manager of the military industry, managing the construction team and responsible for the construction of the large granary in Wanmin City.

I never expected that when he came out, he thought it was an out-of-print Taiping knife, but now the whole army is equipped with one...

Thinking of this, his heart stopped, and he felt wronged and wanted to cry.

For this knife, he dug a tunnel for more than a month!
Xu Mu laughed a few times, and quickly comforted: "How can their knives compare with yours? It's just the same standard, and in terms of power, they are far inferior!"

Kong Xingyue had just passed the rain, and his expression was relieved, so it was like this...

He just said, how could the lord fool him?
"Has the granary been built?" Xu Mu quickly changed the subject and turned the page.

Kong Xingyue nodded and said: "The construction has been completed, but we are located in a deep mountain, and the granary can only hold 200 million shi of grain at most, and it won't be able to hold any more."

Xu Mu naturally knew this limitation, after all, it was not a flat land to build a city.

"You have worked hard, and you deserve the most credit for capturing the food in the Luokou warehouse!" Xu Mu patted his shoulder and said, "After this battle is over, in terms of merit and reward, your contribution will be at least the second!"

The first is naturally Lao Zhang.

Kong Xingyue's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Then can I go back to the front line?"

Xu Mu glanced at him and said, "No."

Just kidding, where can I find such an excellent military director.

and……

"Xingyue, the times have changed now, and personal bravery is no longer enough to determine the outcome of the battlefield." Xu Mu knew Kong Xingyue's bravery, but since the development of the Iron Buddha Tu and the Divine Arm Bow, his personal bravery has plummeted.

Don't you see... Qin Shubao was plotted against by Lao Zhang with an arrow, and was directly taken down?
"Your bravery, how do you compare yourself to Qin Shubao?"

Kong Xingyue lowered his head, Qin Shubao, a brave general in the world, is well-known.

"Not as good."

"Look at him, he obviously realizes that the times have changed. You have to change your mind as soon as possible when you practice special forces on the school grounds every day." Xu Muyu earnestly...fudged.

Kong Xingyue opened his mouth with a hesitant expression.

He remembered very clearly that last time, the lord said the same thing to him.

then……

He was sent to dig tunnels.

This time, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Xu Mu released another mission.

"The Battle of Luokoucang is coming to an end. Yangcheng will inevitably encounter a key attack by Li Mi's Wagang Army in the future. With the current dilapidated city wall, it is obviously unable to withstand the Wagang Army. You need to go to Yangcheng and prepare to use cement to rebuild an inner city. wall."

Kong Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief after listening.

It's okay, okay, it's not digging tunnels.

It's just building walls.

"No!" Kong Xingyue happily accepted the order and left.

……

This time, Xu Mu also came to Yangcheng again.

Now that the granary in Wanmin City has been built, the huge amount of grain in Yangcheng will naturally be transported to the safest place in Wanmin City.

Today's Yangcheng has stockpiled more than 200 million shi of grain.

However...according to the news reported by Wang Zhao, who guards He Ruozhuang, less than one-third of the grain in Luokou warehouse has been transported.

"Unfortunately, this battle cannot continue."

Xu Mu sighed softly, and he personally handwritten an order to Wang Zhao, telling him to find the right time to burn down the granary after Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong.

He can't get it, and he can't let Li Mi get it.

Otherwise, Li Mi's Wagang Army will expand rapidly.

Yangcheng and Li Mi have formed a death feud, Luoyang city is full of soldiers, and Li Mi will not be able to attack for a while, so he will definitely attack Yangcheng.

He cannot capitalize on the enemy.

"My lord, Li Mi has put all his eggs in one basket and mobilized all his troops, a total of 13, to prepare for the final offensive."

On the tower, Zhang Xutuo reported the situation on the front line in a deep voice.

Among them, in order to prevent the Yangcheng army, he arranged [-] elites to defend in the rear.

Even Lao Zhang felt that he could not stop Li Mi from crossing the river.

Xu Mu nodded and said, "From now on, close the city and quickly build the inner wall to prevent Li Mi from attacking."

Right now, he has obtained enough benefits from Luokou Cang.

Cut off Hu has been successful, then, he looked at Sun Ying beside him.

"Old Sun, this time, when Li Mi breached the Luokou warehouse, people and gods were all angry. What happened to the letter scolding him?"

Sun Ying replied modestly: "This subordinate started to conceive ten days ago, and has already written more than half of it. He will definitely scold Li Mi so painfully!"

Xu Mu nodded slightly, this Sun Ying, the level of cursing has improved rapidly, it can be seen that she has put in real effort.

As for Sun Ying's wife, Princess Yongchang, during this time... she has been neglected.

Sun Ying got up every day after washing and eating, then went directly to the study and sat there for a day.

Returned to the room at ten o'clock in the evening.

She was left alone every day, in an empty room.

In desperation, she could only wander around the city.

I don't know if I don't go shopping, just go shopping...

startled.

She discovered that there is not a single commoner in Yangcheng, which is so huge!

In this regard, Sun Ying explained: "Yangcheng suffered a brutal war. In order to save the people, my husband dispersed them and let them escape the war."

After hearing this, Princess Yongchang respected Sun Ying even more.

Completely transformed into Sun Ying's little fan girl, she is more and more satisfied with her marriage.

Even the emperor's younger brother wrote to tell her to let her take care of her husband... Godson, who will help the Sui family in the future must be this person!

But today, Sun Ying rarely walked out of the study, walked up the tower, and frowned when she came back.

"Husband, what happened?" she asked worriedly.

"Li Mi and Chen Bing south of Luoshui, with an army of 13, Wang Shichong will be defeated. Within three days, the warehouse in Luokou will be destroyed. My husband is worried about state affairs!" Sun Ying said in a deep voice, frowning.

Yang Xuan turned pale with shock, and after confirming it, wrote a private letter to Yang Yan.

Tell him about Sun Ying's precise judgment.

And this judgment naturally came from Xu Mu and Zhang Xutuo.

Xu Mu instructed Sun Ying to use this again to pretend to be a big hit to the whole world.
