Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 120 Promotion of Sericulture
Mr. Qin said: "A donkey costs a lot of money, and the government office is clinking. How can it be bought for the people? Let's be honest."

"Don't rush this matter. As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. After the beginning of spring next year, when the weather is cold and you can't spring plowing, take ten days to mobilize the people to repair all the roads in one prefecture and nine counties. , don’t need to overhaul, at least it’s good to go. Then encourage the people to grow more food and grow more mulberry silkworms. As long as the magistrate is a good example, the following county magistrates will not be too outrageous. People will not be hungry if they grow food Stomach, growing mulberry and raising silkworms can increase some income.” Chai Lin said.

"Well, the four-sea car dealership run by Chai Tuanlian is very good, and our adults are very supportive. It connects nine prefectures and nine counties, and the horse-drawn carriage goes back and forth every day. The speed is much faster and it is more convenient for merchants and pedestrians. Now between the yamen To transmit information, they all take the passenger carriage of the car dealer. When will this line be opened for a carriage to Bianliang, Tokyo, so that the official documents will be much faster." Master Qin said happily.

Su Can said: "The road has been in disrepair for a long time, so it is natural to maintain it. The weather is too cold now, the ground is frozen, and it is not convenient to take soil for construction. We will arrange it after the Lantern Festival. As for the silkworm breeding that Chai Tuanlian said, that is For those who need a lot of mulberry trees, there are not many local mulberry seedlings."

"When spring begins, Chaijiazhuang Department Store will set up sales points for mulberry seedlings in various counties, and sell mulberry seedlings at the original price. At the same time, they can sign silkworm cocoon recycling contracts with farmers."

Su Can thought for a while, and said: "This spring silkworm cocoons are thirty yuan a catty, and the price is very good. Although there are not many local people who raise silkworms, they can be found in every village, and it is not a high-level technology, but if the government proposes It has been promoted, and what if cocoons are produced in the future and cannot be sold?"

Chai Lin said: "My lord, you have to worry too much. The commercial firm in my village buys silkworm cocoons all the year round. Our Cangzhou is only a small place with one prefecture and nine counties, with a total of only one million and 10 people. Food is always the first. Only some mulberry trees can be planted in the land behind the front house, and how many cocoons can be produced, and I will buy as many as I can in Chaijiazhuang.”

Master Qin said: "There are 25 households in Cangzhou Prefecture. Even if only [-] households raise silkworms, the output is astonishing. If Chaijiazhuang can't buy it, and merchants from the south come to collect it, the price must be lower by more than [-]%."

"This is the first decree I implemented. If it fails, my face will be disgraced. Why don't you make a written statement for me, so as not to renege on the bill at that time." Su Can said.

Chai Lin can’t laugh or cry, Master Su doesn’t understand the market of silk, and the wealthy people in the Song Dynasty like to wear silk. Sima Guang once said that soldiers wear silk shoes like soldiers, and peasants wear silk shoes.Silk underwear, pajamas, gowns, etc. are very popular.And it is exported in large quantities, how many cocoons can be used?

Chai Lin said: "Your Excellency is still not at ease, don't worry, come to me to make a written statement. It's just that Master Su can only promote mulberry planting and silkworm breeding, and absolutely can't force the people, otherwise it will backfire and arouse the resentment of the people."

Chai Lin scribbled down the evidence, to the effect that Cangzhou's local silkworm cocoon Chaijiazhuang is responsible for purchasing according to the market price, and accepts as much as it can.

Su Can was full of joy, received the paperwork, and said: "I will arrange road construction and silkworm promotion tomorrow, and we can start it as soon as spring begins. Also, I heard that you are buying a lot of wood, but is it enough?"

Chai Lin clasped his fists and said, "I am here to share the worries of the adults. I will pay more taxes for the government. I plan to open a few more carriage workshops, wood processing and so on. The wood needed is huge, so there is not enough to say."

"There are five or six thousand acres of woods on Tuqiu Mountain in the south of the city. The forests are too dense, and tigers and wolves are infested. There are also several official roads. All the trees are cut down, and the small trees are left to make them grow into forests, which will completely solve the tiger problem and fill the treasury, so the wood will be sold to you, how about it?" Su Can said.

This Su Can is so smart, he knows how to recycle, cut down the big trees, and the small trees grow faster. Without reducing the forest, he sold it for money and solved the tiger problem. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.Reduced tiger troubles and sold them for money.

Chai Lin said: "The fresh wood I have is not very useful, and it will take a long time before it can be used."

"This official will naturally consider it. If it can't be used now, can it be used after a year? I will give you a [-]% discount, and the tens of thousands of acres of wood will be sold to you. Don't worry, I will cut down one after another. It’s all for you. Let me remind you that your four-wheeled carriage has already been imitated in other places, and you have to buy a low-end model as soon as possible, or you will be dumbfounded in the future.” Su Can said with a smile.

Chai Lin was startled. Although he was prepared in his heart, it was faster than expected. It has only been on the market for about a month, and it will be imitated soon.

"Okay, my lord will be busy first, and this subordinate will take my leave." Chai Lin didn't dare to stay any longer, the prefect of Su regarded himself as a local tyrant and a rich man.

"Don't forget about the bandit suppression. If you don't get rid of the mountain dragon, you will be uneasy for a day." Su Can reminded.

Chai Lin replied: "The township soldiers have only trained for a month, so we can only find a chance to fight it. It is difficult to completely eradicate it, and it will be February or March at the earliest."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news." Su Can said.

Chai Lin got up to say goodbye and went back.

Chai Lin went back to the arresting envoy's office and called Xiaoqi and Master Sun.

Chai Lin asked: "Xiaoqi, I think you have become more and more proficient in this period of time, and you can easily grasp any kind of case in your hands."

Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "I used to think that investigating the case was difficult, but now I found out that I was wrong. The investigation of the case is as simple as fishing. When to cast bait and when to lift the hook, it is a piece of cake if you master it."

"Is there any case recently?"

"A newly discovered group of defrauding horses. This group of people first stuffed a herbal medicine into the nose of the horse. This thing was so spicy that the horse's nose ran. The farmers thought the horse was sick, and the veterinarian couldn't treat it well. This At that time, they showed up and were willing to buy sick horses, and they should close the net in the next few days." Ruan Xiaoqi introduced.

"Well, I'm relieved. Wu Song and I are going back to the barracks. Today, the magistrate is urging us to suppress the bandits again. Mr. Sun is an old man, so he will cooperate with Xiaoqi to do a good job. Don't worry, your salary It will be much higher than before," Chailin said.

Master Sun smiled and said: "I just love this profession purely. If I really liked money, I would have studied elsewhere when the yamen was deserted."

"Xiaoqi, Master Sun, remember. When arresting criminals, you must be safe first, and use several times the strength to start quickly. If Yang Lin and Deng Fei cannot complete it, the first It’s time to ask Chaijiazhuang for help, and I will arrange support immediately.” Chai Lin said.

"Okay, brother, don't worry. Yamen picking someone up is not a street fight, so I'm sure I won't try to be brave."

Master Sun said: "It's not a big problem. We now have a total of 40 arresters, 60 on horseback and [-] on foot, all of them long and short. Ordinary thieves don't have the ability to resist at all."
