442 What do you want?
Canglang Pavilion is located in the south of Suzhou City. It was originally the pool hall of Wu Yuezhong and Wu Chengzhong's military ambassador during the Five Dynasties. In the early Song Dynasty, Su Shunqin bought it for forty thousand yuan, moved flowers and trees, surrounded mountains and made water, covering an area of ​​16 acres, making it more spectacular and renamed Canglang Pavilion. It was Han Shizhong's residence again in the Southern Song Dynasty. It has been more than six hundred years.
The Canglang Pavilion is surrounded by water, and it is a unique landscape in Suzhou gardens. This is the early spring season. It is February in the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as you enter the garden, the spring flowers are everywhere, the spring wind is blowing, and the spring water is long. It stays between the pavilions, the trees, the smoke trees, and the pink walls.
In such a grand place, even the emperors and princesses have never seen it before. The royal gardens pay attention to an atmosphere, and the Jiangnan gardens, the squares and the squares, have no caves, and there are exquisite carvings, trees, pavilions, stones and water. , It is pleasing to the mind.
As soon as the three princesses arrived here, they fell in love with the resort. Seeing that look, if they had to return to the north, they would have to buy it and pretend to be willing. As soon as they entered the garden, the three princesses happily went around together, and Yang Ling and Gu Dayong wandered around with the emperor.
Finally, at the southernmost part of the Canglang Pavilion, Gu Daying pointed at the three-story small building resembling a fairyland Qionglou under the Xiu Bamboo, and said with respect and respect: "Emperor, this is called Kanshanlou, this is your residence."
In such an elegant place, even the Emperor Zhengde seemed to be contaminated with elegance. He nodded with a smile: "Okay, Concubine, how do you see here?"
Tang Yixian also admired: "The park is full of beautiful scenery, and you can live anywhere you like. It is like a paradise in heaven and a paradise in the world of Suhang. It really is well-deserved."
Yang Ling smiled and turned to ask Gu Dayong: "Duke Gu, have the residences of the three princesses been arranged?"
Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Yes, the three princesses live in the lotus flower lotus lotus. When the emperor's residence is placed, the old slave will go immediately."
Zhengde said with great interest: "I don't need to arrange, I haven't seen enough of the grand scene in this garden, Xian'er, let's walk around. Great use, you can arrange the residence of the three princesses, oh, yes, Yang Qing also lives in Cang In the Langting, you place it together. "
"Yes, the emperor", Gu Dayong bowed down. Emperor Zhengde held Tang Yixian's hand happily, and the two of them walked side by side to the depth of the forest where trees were planted and bamboo trees were raised.
The garden is surrounded by water on three sides, but the water is outside the garden. The garden is famous for its mountain views, and there are all kinds of rare trees everywhere. Even if a random stone beside the path is carefully selected, it is placed in a proper way, so that people can forget it.
Seeing the emperor and the emperor going away, Gu Dayong straightened up. Picked up the big finger and praised: "Still the father-in-law understands the emperor's thoughts, the emperor is satisfied with the garden, the emperor is happy, our family is happy."
Yang Ling laughed and said: "Yeah, I don't know how much money my father-in-law spent, and I returned the amount to me, and I paid as much as I could."
It turned out that Yang Ling did not just requisition this garden temporarily. Instead, Chuxing bought it. Gu Da listened to shaking his hands and said, "Guogong is welcome, a small garden, how can you hang your teeth? Er ... Don't hide Guogong, this garden has become a monk's house, so it's very easy to buy It didn't take a few words, will our family and Guo Gong still share each other? "
Gu Dayong said. Take a title deed from his sleeve. He smiled and put a hand in Yangling's hand, a famous ancient garden. This became the Yang family industry.
Yang Ling gave up a few words and smiled and took the title deed into his sleeve. He knew that Gu Da was used in Jiangnan to take charge of maritime affairs. Like a mountain, Yang Ling was not disturbed by scraping his oil.
Seeing Yang Ling accept the house deed, Gu Da smiled with the folds all over his face, happy to receive the gift, is it not a happy gift? This world is sometimes unpredictable with common sense.
Gu Dayong then asked cautiously: "Duke Guo, the emperor went to Suhang this time to stroll around and enjoy the scenery of the Jiangnan water town, or is there any other purpose. What do we need to pay attention to in our family?"
Yang Ling smiled slightly and walked the corridor with Gu Dayong, walking between the mountains and rivers and flowers, along the bamboo forest trail to an Yaxuan "Cui Linglong", a couple of couplets hung at the door of this Xuan: "Autumn into Linhong is dim , Moonlight travels through Cui Linglong ".
When I walked into the room, I saw that the windows were clear and concise. The mahogany furniture was decorated with bamboo patterns, and a couplet was hung in the room: "Flame-like flute, flowing water as a violin."
The two walked into the room and sat on two official hat chairs. Yang Ling said: "The emperor's Nanxing was for the purpose of annihilating the rebellion of King Ning. Now that the rebellion of King Ning has subsided, the emperor must of course come to this paradise on earth. A tour ".
Gu Dayong heard that the emperor was just visiting Suzhou and Hangzhou, and his expression suddenly relaxed, but he heard Yang Ling say: "However, the father-in-law must have known that the emperor is so grown up, with great ambitions and ambitions. The country's weather is completely new. So you shouldn't think he came with the princess and the princess. The emperor is most concerned about the development of Jiangnan, especially Suhang. "
Gu Dayong immediately became nervous again. Now he is the in Suzhou and the governor of the maritime administration. If the emperor is not satisfied with his local government affairs, this fatal difference will have to be handed over. Gu Dayong said quickly and nervously: "So, I don't know what situation the emperor is concerned about? I also hope that the Duke of the Kingdom can raise more points."
Yang Ling said with a smile: "Nature is weaving, porcelain, silk, tea mulberry, shipping. These are the top priorities of the national economy and people's livelihood. How are all aspects of business now managed? What is the output? What is the annual profit? What problems still exist, and so on. Nature, You have to make arrangements for those weaving workshops, the emperor will definitely go and see. "
Gu Da used to panic and stood up hurriedly, said: "Our family does not know that the Emperor except Ning Wang will come to Suhang to inspect these things, everything will be mentioned in the future, how can this be?"
Seeing his anxious chaos, Yang Ling smiled and said, "Why should Grandpa Gu be in a hurry? So, tomorrow I will accompany the Emperor to walk around the city to appreciate the customs and customs of Suzhou. I will drag you for three or two days, you Taking advantage of this quick preparation, all kinds of materials must be fully memorized. When the emperor asks questions, he must answer them well. The emperor will certainly appreciate you when he sees you working hard.
"Yes, yes, well," Gu Da said in a hurry, turning around and trying to run out of the door, and suddenly realized that the three princesses hadn't arranged yet.
Yang Ling saw that he was confused. Then he stood up and smiled and said: "Father, you are in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but here is our first stop for overseas. You can only provide the emperor with the economic situation in Suzhou and Hangzhou. You need to understand more, and even real estate in other places. Things, management, and more unique suggestions to the emperor, I believe that this maritime Yamen of Daming. In addition to your grandfather here to guard, no second person can shake. "
Gu Da patted his head and said: "Yeah, I can't just focus on my own three-a-mu land. The vision of the Emperor Land is in the whole world. Thank you Grandpa Guo for reminding me, I ... I ...".
He took out a large roll of silver tickets from his sleeve, and put a hand in Yang Ling's hand, saying: "Our family will immediately summon manpower to make various preparations. I was bothered by the country and spent a few days with the emperor in the city. At this point, I asked Guo Gong to take it, and when I saw something pleasant in the city, I just bought it. Our family had to be busy with this matter.
"You don't have to be polite. We still divide each other." Yang Ling smiled and said with a smile: "Despite the busyness of the father-in-law, let me take care of the things in this garden. After a while, I arranged Jiang Bin and others to arrange around the Canglang Pavilion. Be vigilant, go to the residence of the three princesses, and rest assured, I am here to greet the emperor, the princess, and the princess. No one will say that you should be slow. "
Gu Dayong gratefully said: "Guogong treats me really .... Daen is not grateful!"
He clenched his fists in his hands and tapped Yang Ling twice. A flick of the robe rushed out violently.
Yang Ling watched him leave with a smile, and then lifted his legs out of "Cui Linglong", and walked along the compound corridor, swaying bamboos, spitting green branches, blooming flowers, beautiful. Walking on the plastered corridor, it has twists and turns, light and deep, and there are many leaky windows and various patterned panes on the side of the corridor wall. There is no similarity. It is a coincidence.
When Yang Ling walked to the lotus flower waterside pavilion, he saw that the small garden in front of the pavilion was sparsely planted, the zelkova trees were lush, and there was a simple tree in the north of the window. In the Xiebei stream, there were lotus flowers, clear waters, and gurgling water. Yang Ling looked at him for a long time. He suddenly raised his hand and immediately gave a gift to him.
Yang Ling asked: "Where are the three princesses now?"
One of them reverently replied: "Three His Royal Highnesses are now at the Fish Watching Office."
Yang Ling smiled slightly: "Guide me to go."
Traveling southeast, passing the "Wen Miaoxiang Room", and passing the "Xianyin Pavilion", I came to the "Fish Viewing Point", and I saw a pavilion abruptly facing the water. There are three waves swaying like wind and willow in the lake and watching the fish.
The small pavilion is quaint, with four eaves flying upwards like Jianshui Feiyan wants to rise, the stream is clear and clear, like a pool of jade Jian Qiongtian, the fish play is clear, the vertical wave is reflected, Yang Ling travels to the near place, seeing the beauty of the beauty is suitable for both, and ca n’t bear to approach. Gone.
Among the three, Yongfu was the tallest. Yang Ling saw that she was wearing a goose yellow dress, silver and red armor, a pale white wave skirt, a bunch of stone green plum blossoms, a thin waist, self-portrait with water, black hair , Qianying swayed. Yang Lingzheng was preoccupied with self-esteem. When Princess Yongfu of Linshui Guanyu suddenly felt something, she turned her head and faced Yang Ling's eyes.
Seeing Yang Ling standing not far away, she was looking at her indifferently. Princess Yongfu couldn't help but bow her head and smiled shyly, and her cheeks were like a peach in an instant. She bit her lip and looked up at Yang Ling. She was so charming, her jade fingers twisted her chest hair. The girl was ashamed and charming in her dignity, which was really unspeakable.
Yang Ling shook her heart and just thought, "Princess Xiu Ning is very affectionate towards me. This can't lose others anyway. Whatever his royal rules, he must make arrangements this time. This mermaid , I have to make a decision! "
Suzhou Municipal Government is the first in the world. Not only is the river in and out of the urban area intricate, it can be used for transportation and washing, and there are hundreds of ditches, the water flow is smooth, and the road is paved with small stones, that is, on rainy days. It is also possible not to cause wet feet, so there is a saying "you can wear red embroidered shoes on rainy days".
"The Orioles at the mouth of the Yellow Oriole are going to speak, and the head of the Wuque River is going to disappear. The green waves are from east to west and north to south, and the red rail is three hundred and ninety bridges." , Looking at the exquisitely carved brick gatehouse, the stone well with deep rope grooves. The mottled flower windows, the exquisite and beautiful courtyard and the water-side building style are really rare sights.
However, Emperor Zhengde and Yang Ling felt quite miserable. Hualili, Jianjia Alley, Lianzi Alley, Yingxiaoli, Taohuawu, and Daliuzhi Alley ..., who knew that these little girls looked coy and timid. From the street, a pair of jade feet have such great strength and longevity?
Zhu Gongzi and Yang Gongzi held a small fan with gold in their hands, but now they can't wait for the fan to turn into a cane, and their feet are almost broken. However, Tang Yixian and the three princesses seemed to be full of enthusiasm, neither meaning to go back, nor consciously walking on the sedan chair.
Two people cast a helpless look at each other, young and softly, can't let the Ouchi bodyguard dressed as a family nursing home carry them away?
Zhengde approached Yang Ling. Sorrowfully said: "Yang Qing, your sister can really be reached, next time, I said that I will not go shopping with them."
Yang Ling smiled bitterly: "Emperor. Your three Yumei's legs are not weak. The legs of the court are almost broken."
The four beauties in front walked and chatted, and were self-excited. They suddenly found that the two uncles responsible for paying the money were missing. Tang Yixian looked back and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, you two, how can you walk slowly."
Zhengde sighed and wanted to raise his leg to chase. Yang Ling suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said aside: "Look, the emperor, there is a painting gallery, let's go in and let the artist paint portraits of the emperor and the three princesses. Come here. "
Zhengde's eyes lit up and praised, "Okay! It's still Yang Qing's scheming and quickness. Quickly chase them back. I'm powerless to do it again."
The four beauties heard that they didn't want to go anymore, but they were still unhappy at first. When I heard that I wanted to ask the painter to make portraits for them, I readily agreed.
The flag streamers outside the small building fluttered, but inside it was deserted. It seems that business is not good today. At that time, the Gusu painter became a custom in the early days of painting, and the market was highly speculated, resulting in the Wumen School of Painting. The customs of Suzhou and Hangzhou make money by virtue of their ability, but it is elegant to ignore the poems and articles.
At first sight many guests came, and they were obviously dressed up. The old man who was dozing at the case could not help but squint and straighten his waist. The two elementary school students approached attentively: "Two sons, a few Please come in, please come in, lady, please sit down and give you tea immediately. "
Zhengde and Yang Ling were just like grabbing, and they took a chair and sat down, then stretched out their feet and gasped. The four girls blanked their eyes on these two guys who were not gentlemanly, and then sat down at another table.
The elementary school students quickly brought the tea, and then the old gentleman got up slowly and said: "You guys and ladies, welcome to the shop, the old stamps are all hanging on the four walls, you can take it for yourself, each of the five Ten articles, no bargaining. "
Yang Ling moistened his throat and smiled: "Old gentleman, we don't want these four walls hanging calligraphy and painting, I wonder if the old gentleman can be good at drawing characters ...".
An apprentice next to the elementary school whispered: "That's natural. My master is the best at drawing characters, even when Tang Yin was there, and this is not necessarily better than our master."
The old man glared at him, smiled pretentiously, and said: "Portrait of a woman, there are also hanging on the walls, two sons ...".
Yang Ling shook his head and said: "It's not like this, we want to ask the old gentleman to draw a portrait for each of these four young ladies, do you think it's okay?"
The old man was a little surprised. He turned his head to look at the four girls sitting at the table and nodded slowly. "It's just that it takes longer for this character to be painted ...".
Zhengde is overjoyed, as long as he can drag through this day, the longer it is, the better, and he quickly confesses: "It doesn't matter, as long as you have both terrain and gods, there's no problem for how long to wait."
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, but this character is not one of fifty characters."
Zhengde said generously: "It doesn't matter. How much money do you say?"
The old man looked at these people with generous clothing, talkative and generous, and said with courage: "I want ... I want a painting of one hundred texts."
"No problem!" Zhengde waved his hand and said generously: "A picture of one or two pieces of silver! Brother Wannian, you pay the bill."
Yang Linggan laughed twice, and said to the surprised old man with wide eyes: "Uh ... this Zhu Gongzi has a problem like to increase the price, okay! One or two silver paintings. The old gentleman will write."
The old man's spirits have been greatly improved. Today, he has run into a prodigal son. One or two pieces of silver, what else is unwilling. The old man immediately instructed the two disciples to lay out pen, ink, paper, ink, and various colors of paint. Things hung slowly on the eyes, then walked to the table and sat down, smiling: "Which girl will draw first?"
Yang Ling didn't care at first. He drank his head down and drank two teas. As soon as he looked up, he looked at the old man. This tea was almost sprayed on the opposite face of Zhengde. Yang Ling pointed at the old man in surprise: "This ... old gentleman, what is on your eyes?"
The old man froze. Before answering, Zhengde said with a smile: "It's a clutter, and old dizzy people can see clearly and enhance their vision."
Yang Ling was dumbfounded. When he built the naval engineer, he thought that if he had a telescope, his vision would be several times higher than that of the enemy, and he would preempt the enemy planes in the sea first and preemptively. I do n’t know how much it would play. It was just that he had n’t seen glass that could be used to make convex lenses , This idea has to be done.
Who knows ... Who knows that people already have glasses, so how difficult is it to make a telescope? If you have this thing, it is more than the sea. Even on the prairie, the Ming Army, with its long-sighted eyes, fought against opponents with black eyes, and they did not know how many opportunities to seize.
The reason why the telescope did not come out is that no one understands its principle in this era, but Yang Ling knows its principle, but does not make glass.
Yang Ling was overjoyed, and quickly walked over and said, "Old gentleman, can you wear these glasses ... er. This is to show the students?"
Zhengde smiled and said, "Are you scared of this thing? After returning to the palace ... going back. I will give you a few."
Yang Ling was about to faint. So this thing is also in the palace? It would have been nice if I had talked about the idea of ​​the telescope to people. Maybe someone will remind him right away that he already has materials that can make this clairvoyance. He usually has no chance to contact these materials, but he still accidentally saw them here.
Yang Ling couldn't help it. He took the glasses from the old man and looked at it for a long while to confirm that it was the same as the lens. This was then returned. The old man's two elliptical lenses were fixed with iron wire to make a frame, but he had not yet invented the temple. He wore a hole in the edge of the lens and tied it with a silk thread. When using it, he hung it on his ear.
Yang Ling wondered, returned to the table and sat down to ask Zhengde. The original glasses were in ancient China. According to ancient records, it was originally found that there was a mosquito in the crystal of rosin resin. Looking through the rosin, the mosquito's body was enlarged. , Thereby attracting the attention of craftsmen, and then using natural crystal to grind the convex lens.
Zhu Houzhao reads a lot of books, but he does n’t know much about serious matters. In this way, he reads a lot of miscellaneous things, and he has a lot of books in the palace. He drinks tea at the moment, and looks at the portrait of the old man for Tang Yixian. Fan.
It turned out that as early as in the Warring States period, Volume 15 of Mozi already contained many discussions about Mozi's research light and plane mirrors, convex mirrors, and concave mirrors. Before the Qin Kingdom unified the Six Kingdoms, the ancients knew how to make fire through the lens. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng discovered the moon ’s profit and loss and the primary cause of the lunar eclipse, also by means of the lens.
By the Song Dynasty, literati had already used crystal lenses to improve their eyesight. In the Yuan Dynasty, even the Mongols knew how to use this kind of thing, and it was spread to Venice by a man named Marco Polo, and then spread to the whole of Europe. In the Ming Dynasty, Xuande invented reading glasses, but because crystals are precious and not easy to obtain, they are used as important gifts. Generally, the emperor gives them to the old ministers as royal products, so Zhengde knows this well.
Because the objects are not easy to carry without mirror legs, the ministers did not bring them when they were facing up. When they returned to their homes and used them in the study, Yang Ling didn't know. He couldn't remember asking, and no one talked to him. Where do ordinary people buy this kind of thing, the old painter still draws a vivid portrait of an old lady of a wealthy family. The owner gave him such an expensive good thing, and by coincidence, Yang Ling discovered it now.
Yang Lingxi diligently told Zhengde the function of the two lenses to create the telescopic effect. Zhengde was stunned. He couldn't think of two crystals that could have a clairvoyant effect. If it weren't for his legs sore now, and Tang Yixian's forehand scented cheeks, waiting for the old man to paint for her, he had already pulled Yang Ling all the way back. Ask someone to make this magical thing to enjoy right away.
It seemed that the old man was particularly good at drawing characters. The portrait of Tang Yixian was drawn much faster than expected. After the coloring was completed, Tang Yixian saw his own shape on the paper, and his spirits seemed to break through the paper. . The three princesses were even more excited when they saw them, and Yongfu was already seated. Waiting happily for the painter to continue painting for her.
Yang Ling and Emperor Zhengde were drinking tea and chatting about the sky. When they were drawn to Princess Yongchun, the two of them had no time to rest. Yang Ling was looking at a landscape painting with far-reaching artistic mood, and Zheng De walked to the desk to read it casually. Suddenly, he beckoned: "Hundred Years Brother, come and come".
Yang Ling hurried over and saw Zhengde looking secretly at the emperor and sister who were concentrating on the portrait, and then made a hurry to pose. Yang Ling looked over and saw that there were two booklets on the table, one with the "Spring Water Spectrum" and the other half-turned by Zhengde, only to see the words "Mandarin Duck" on it.
"It's a picture album ..." Yang Linggang said three words. Zhengde quickly stopped him with his eyes, and then coughed. Put on a handsome man and said, "Ah, Brother Wannian, what do you think of this picture?"
Yang Ling leaned forward, and Zhengde opened the album, but it turned out to be a picture of an palace. An elementary school apprentice gathered up with a smile: "Two grandfathers, this is my master's handwriting. It turns out that there is also a Tang Yin who shares the same name with my master. Since that man went to Dongying. This painting is spring ...".
"Cough!" Yang Ling's face also changed. With a straight face: "Don't talk, we appreciate it ourselves".
The elementary school student couldn't help but look funny when he looked at the two of them. In fact, in the Ming dynasty, the pictures were not something that was out of sight. Not only did literati and scholars like to appreciate it, but also the ladies and girls also painted pictures. For the lack of sexual education at the time, this thing not only played a role in teaching knowledge, but also Some people use it to adjust the boudoir taste to treat some psychological disorders.
At that time, it was said that Jiangnan was the atmosphere near the capital, and there was no discrimination about the erotica, but Zhengde and Yang Ling had different identities. In addition, if the four beautiful people next to them found it, it was a bit embarrassing, so the two did not dare to say anything. Can't help but be ridiculed by the elementary school apprentice, if you listen to the second people's voice and know that they are the sons of Guisuke in the north, they think they are from the northwest wasteland.
Zhengde opened the first picture and saw a tree with spring flowers, a bamboo fence across the water, a red sunset, half a river, a man lying on the shore on a bamboo couch, a graceful woman sitting on her body coyly and infinitely, with a beautiful mood, There is also a poem titled "Park and Sit Love Maple Evening".
Zheng De looked at the ground with red ears, he swallowed, cleared his throat, and pointed to the book, "How much is this?"
The primary school apprentice hurried over and smiled with each other, "Your grandfather, there are sixteen pictures in this album, you need ...".
He wanted to talk about five or two silvers, but remembered that the son was extremely generous and spent money like running water, so he slapped a slap and turned back and forth and said, "Get this number."
"Well!" Zheng De said nothing, turning his back to Tang Yixian and the three Yumei to hide the picture book in his sleeve. He extended a finger to Yangling, and then looked up casually at a pair of Songmei cranes on the wall. The picture is very fascinating.
Yang Ling looked at the picturesque paintings of the Spring Palace, quickly sleeved into his arms, and found out a hundred and two silver tickets and handed them to the young man. Heart pounding, said softly: "That's all, no need to find."
The little boy opened it and opened his mouth suddenly. They couldn't help but close. The two prodigal masters are really rare. Without saying anything, the young man immediately drew three more books from the bottom of the cabinet, and said secretly: "Your grandfather. There are three more books here. There are so many in total. It takes one month to draw a book. Still this number ".
Yang Ling felt quite like buying a movie for the first time. He was afraid of being discovered by the princesses. He quickly took it into his sleeve and handed in a silver ticket. Zhengde pulled his sleeve. The two brothers immediately left and walked side by side to a mandarin duck playing in the corner. While looking up at the picture, Zhengde whispered, "How many more? Give me two more."
Yang Ling's big sleeve next to him, quietly handed over two copies. Zhengde concealed and threw a sentence: "Cough, remember to exchange with me after reading your two books."
After Zhengde finished speaking, the two brothers gave each other a look, and laughed a few times in unconsciousness. Then he turned around and said to Tang Yixian with a breeze: "You are finished? Come, let me see your portrait."
At this point, Yong Chun had finished drawing the portrait, jumped up and smiled, "Brother, where shall we go tomorrow?"
"Ah!" One of Zheng De scared, and grinned: "Will we come out tomorrow?"
Yang Ling struck in the past and coughed: "Tomorrow, it's already arranged. Let's go to the theatre, hahaha, watch the opera and listen to Kunquer"
Three days, three days later, Grandpa Gu came to see the emperor sternly.
A miracle is a place where you can be born at any time. With three days of effort, Duke Gu, who has no learning and no skills, becomes an economist with an open mind and correct answers.
In Ming Dao Tang, the Emperor Zhengde sat in the middle. Tang Yixian and the three princesses and Yang Ling sat around. Look at this Grandpa Gu, holding his head high and talking eloquently like the Zhuge Liang of the "tongue war against Confucianism" in the Kunqi opera that was enjoyed yesterday. Tang Yixian couldn't help but pursed his lips and whispered that he had heard with Yongfu. Yongfu saw that Gu Dayong's posture was really interesting, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
"Well, so to speak, there are also rich and gentry factories for fans, mats, copper incense burners, hemp handkerchiefs, rattan utensils, inscriptions, and mounting. Is it mass-produced?" Emperor Zhengde listened intently and asked.
"Yes, in this way, not only the output is extremely high, but also can meet the huge demand of Dongying, North Korea, Ryukyu, Luzon, and even the Nanyang countries, and the cost is extremely low. Not only are their fan states not comparable in quality to us That is, if you intend to lower prices, you still cannot compete with us. Businessmen from all over the world are eager for me to sell commodities. "
Gu Dayong stared with a pair of eyes that stayed up late and backed up with information, and he was full of confidence: "These vassals have set up business offices in Jiangsu, Hangzhou and Changzhou in order to purchase goods nearby, and my Daming Zhufu Road is also opened locally. A large number of chambers of commerce provide a variety of goods and goods. Now, some reputable and large-scale workshops and shops have already produced credit payments, and ticket shops have many new tricks in agency, exchange, and credit. "
He glanced at Yang Ling and said with a smile: "Duke Guo provided a new accounting method to the old slaves, and sent several masters who are familiar with this accounting method, which is much better than the traditional method. It has now been promoted in Jiangnan, and all major merchants use this method to keep accounts. "
Yang Ling smiled and interjected: "Suzhou is the world's first weaving world, and it is also an important source of tax revenue in Suzhou.
Gu Dayong was refreshed, and this is where he was most proud. Yang Ling was scratching his itch, Gu Dayong said: "Suzhou is exquisitely woven, the only problem is that the supply of raw materials and output is insufficient after the sea is opened to business. .
The old slaves organized all the households to join the weaving households with dozens or dozens of looms by way of shareholding operations. Now they have set up four factories dedicated to weaving. In Wuhu area, there are also professional large-scale dyeing workshops and kick workshops, weaving workshops specializing in weaving fabrics, dyeing workshops professional dyeing fabrics, and kick workshops professional pressing fabrics.
Each of these factories has more than 3,000 weavers, and can produce 19 million cotton cloths and 450,000 silk cloths a year. However, due to the great internal and external demand of Daming, the supply is still in short supply, and the prices are rising. These factories originally wanted to continue to expand production, but there was not enough raw material supply.
Now if you want to make more money, you can only reduce the cost as much as possible, so these factories have also specially organized some experienced old mechanics and weavers, and are studying to improve the loom and spinning wheel. At present, hydraulic multi-spindle spinning machines and three-layer looms have been developed. Stirring cotton seed. It used to be operated by two people, but it has also been greatly improved. One can be used by three or four people. In addition, there are a variety of special looms such as looms, silk looms, looms, yarn looms, and silk looms. "
The Emperor Zhengde was delighted, and Yang Ling was also excited. The division of labor became smaller and smaller, the scale became larger, and the technology became higher and higher. With the successive arrival of Western countries. Demand has increased further, and vigorous large-scale industrial production is not far away.
But the problem of raw materials is obviously more important at this time. He hurriedly asked: "So how to solve the problem of raw materials? If this problem is not solved, it will inevitably affect further development. You must know. Now Western countries have come to negotiate business and goods The flow will inevitably increase, and the raw materials are insufficient, which restricts the development too much. "
Gu Dayong said: "Now the wealthy gentry has contacted Shandong and Henan for ordering. The quantity of mulberry cotton planted this year is determined in advance, the deposit is paid first, and it is shipped after the fall. If there is insufficient local supply, it will be provided from other prefectures. In cotton production, there are problems such as low output and serious wear and tear.
Yan Song, a prestigious official in Hangzhou, applied to the Maritime Administration for a sum of money to recruit skilled craftsmen to study the improvement of silkworm rearing and silk reeling. Select excellent silkworm breeds, select excellent mulberry species value, research and control silkworm disease, improve methods for raising silkworms, cocoons, and reeling. Once these things are perfect, raw material output can be increased by a few percent, and consumption is reduced by a few percent. Double more than ever. "
Appreciation also appeared on Zhengde's face, and he nodded. Suddenly remembered that some officials impeached Jiangnan to vigorously develop business. The limited manpower did everything for the benefit of these industries, the land abandoned grain and planted mulberry, and there was something that might hurt the country. At that time, he was thrown away at any time. I haven't sent it in China, but now I want to know more about these aspects.
After Zhengde asked, Gu Dayong couldn't help but stay a while. He only looked at how to express his merits, but he didn't hear any adverse impact on other industries. Only then did he continue to talk. The emperor asked him nothing. As soon as Gu Dao turned to Yang Ling with his help, Yang Ling took a sip of tea and chuckled: "Emperor, this problem is easy to solve, not only that Grand Duke Gu knows, but also Weichen knows well."
Several princesses had been drowsy after listening to the events of these countries. As soon as they heard Yang Ling's words, Yongfu and Princess Xianger raised their spirits, and two pairs of bright eyes flowed and poured on him.
Yang Ling Shi Shiran said: "Emperor, the Shanghai to Taicang area was originally barren, and now they have all opened up as large cotton factories. In addition, the cultivation of cotton and mulberry in the Henan area of ​​Shandong has gradually become the trend to provide a lot of raw materials. Plus improvements Craftsmanship and improved technology to reduce ground loss can fully meet the needs of weaving in Jiangnan.
As far as manpower is concerned, Daming is now developing agriculture and commerce and industry, and the population is indeed insufficient. Moreover, the production of cotton is more than double that of ordinary food crops, and the production of sericulture is more than ten times, but it says that it transfers all labor. To these places it was exaggerated and alarmist.
Because the cultivation of rice and cotton mulberry in Jiangnan are not only different in labor time, but also their labor force is completely different. The cultivation of cotton mulberry is mainly old and weak women. In the case of no cotton mulberry, they can be hired in addition to the residents of the tea area. With the exception of tea, other people can only stay at home and do nothing. Now they have something to do. Not only can they earn a share of income for the family, but their family status has also been improved. "
"If you want to be the overlord of the world, industrial and commercial development is the only way. It is not advisable to restrict cotton mulberry blindly. It is a fact that cotton mulberry can make money. Can the court force the people not to grow mulberry cotton? Now Jiangnan imports a lot of food from Nanyang, such as Siamese rice? "
Gu Dayong said with a smile: "It's exactly, but we didn't take the initiative to buy it, but the merchant ships from other countries took the initiative to bring them. They needed our commodities and transported the rice grains for food and goods, enough for us to eat. In addition, we have gold and silver in hand, and we can buy it at any time when we need it. Which merchant has hatred for gold and silver? Do n’t worry about this. "
Yang Ling nodded. Another said: "In addition, with the successful trial planting of Nanyang rice seeds, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other materials introduced by our Daming, this year's large-scale planting can also become a reserve for grain storage. In addition, many parts of the country are still barren There is no development, especially the gradual calming of the northwest and northeast areas, and even the development of immigrants from Nuergandu will soon become a large granary. "
Yang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Emperor. Daming is a unique Daming in the world. Every place should have its own directors. If Jiangnan can make a lot of money, let it make money and develop industry. Inland farming is especially suitable for farming. , Interoperability.
The sound of chickens and dogs heard each other, and the old dead did not communicate with each other. Food and clothing have to be self-sufficient everywhere, which is not enough. Just as the Suzhou weavers originally did the entire process from weaving to dyeing, each household had all the housework. Not only did it cost more, but the cost and efficiency were many times worse than the current division of labor and cooperation.
Moreover, such cooperation. The reliance of the entire Da Ming government on each other has increased, and it is also more conducive to local stability. Anyone who wants to fight against the world and the emperor with only one place is not so easy. "
Zhengde clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful. I should have the weather of a big country as a big country. How can I be so childish, and it's exactly the truth that is said well and said well."
He smiled and said to Gu Daya: "Daiyong has always been loyal and dedicated to my work, and I am very pleased. You were a little grumpy at the same time, and it was too much trouble to catch the Maitreya. So you were fined for making mistakes. Your temperament is very steady.
After arriving in Jiangnan, I am very satisfied and very happy with what you have done. Great use, I will give you a sitting robe to show your appreciation, and I will do my best. Jiangnan is my pillar and backer. You must keep it for me! "
Gu Dajia used surprises and fell to the ground in a hurry. The trembling echoed: "Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie, the emperor is gracious, and the old slaves bow down to the emperor, and the liver and the brain are all hesitant!"
Sitting on the robe, I thought that Liu Jinquan, the head of the eight tigers, would only grab a sitting robe. Zhengde Zhao had this honor so far. Only Yang Ling and Liu Jin had two. Now he has got a sitting robe. This glory is not only in Eight tigers are only one of their old partners today, and it is enough to show off to the world.
Encouraged by this, Gu Dayong stood up and continued to report, such as Songjiang Cloth Hosiery Square and Jiaxing Oil Press Square to form a large factory, unified specifications, common pricing, and sales at home and abroad; such as the needs of Jiangnan handicraft industry, from Nanzhili and Niutou Shanshan Coal Mine, Beizhili Baiyangkou Coal Mine in Changping Prefecture, and Pingdingzhou in Taiyuan Prefecture purchased large quantities of coal mines. Promoted the development of local mining. Jiangnan Fuyu promoted the prosperity of writing style, and then paper workshops, printing workshops, lettering workshops have also been vigorously developed, etc., listening to the emperor Zhengde's eyebrows.
Yang Ling was happy to see Zhengde listening, and said, "Emperor, this is the benefit of the ban on mobility and cooperation with each other. It can promote each other and develop into the world at a rapid pace. In other words, you can see that the development of Jiangnan ’s industry and the development of the transportation industry have promoted the operation of Guanying Iron Plant in Yangcheng, Shanxi, and Zunhua, Hebei, due to the large amount of iron required. Not cheap.
In addition, the Fujian Military Weapons Bureau built a large number of warships and artillery. The people in Pucheng, Fujian saw profitable. There are also rich gentry who mine and smelt iron. They produce a subway with excellent texture and win the official camp. Folang machine guns, general guns, and forged firearm barrels are not subject to bursting when cast. This has enriched the people and strengthened the court.
There are more things like this. Why can't the emperor's ambition to build the world's merits and prestige be established? "
Emperor Zhengde lifted his chair and walked a few steps, seeing his face flushed and his expression excited. Obviously, his heart was full of excitement. He stood with his fist clenched for a moment and suddenly turned around. He said to Yang Ling, "Ai Qing! I can have today, Ai Qing works hard, I want to reward you with something, as long as you say it, I will do it. You say, what do you want?
