Chapter 48 The Fangs of Capitalism
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is incompetent in the court, so he has to be a merchant. It is understandable that his family has more wealth."
Cao Xiang didn't care about this matter. It was Liu's whole world. It was no big deal to have more shops in Liu's eldest son.
Yun Lang didn't think so. In history books, Liu Ju rebelled and encouraged the people of Chang'an.
In fact, the people of Chang'an were not so easily agitated, so most of the people of Chang'an who rebelled with Liu Ju were Liu Ju's troops, families and merchants...
Liu Ju seems to be stronger than Liu Ju in the book. After all, this time he has been on the battlefield and has a group of warriors under his command who can really fight.
Moreover, the slave hunting group in the world is respected by the East Palace. Over the years, without the protection of the Eastern Palace, the slave hunting group will definitely not have developed its current scale.
On weekdays, he ordered the world to capture slaves and heroes, which gave Liu Ju a long time ago.
Education is actually very strange. Whether it is a strict reality or the guidance of famous teachers, it can achieve students' goals on a high probability.
After Liu Ju led the slave arresting group for a long time, his thinking was naturally the slave owner's thinking. With the pride in the royal bones, he did not develop the emperor's thinking, but became an absolute slave king!
The slave king's thinking and the emperor who cares about the world are completely two different people, and even a serious regression.
This is why Liu Ji thinks it is a very good strategy, which is completely stupid in Liu Che's opinion.
Liu Che, Yun Lang, Cao Xiang, and Huo Qubing looked down on Liu Ju. For the rest, Liu Ju is already an existence in the clouds.
"The peach blossom wine I drank today is good, and I don't know who made it."
Yun Lang picked up the wine bowl and looked at the slightly red wine. He asked Cao Xiang.
"Slaves in the Western Regions! It is said that there is also a secret method of grape brewing, which has a long aftertaste and rich fruity aroma, which is completely different from the common grape brews in the Western Regions. It is said that it is the best wine in the Western Regions. There may be some of His Majesty, and no one else seems to have heard of this thing."
"I have some at home. Lantian respects me. I don't like it very much. If you like it, I'll send it to your house."
Cao Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "What are you going to do today after you walking with no brainstorm all day?"
Yun Lang smiled and said, "Grow cotton!"
Cao Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "I have told you that growing cotton is not worth it unless you agree that we can get the 30,000 slaves."
"Yunzhe and his team have created several mechanisms, a mechanism called a cotton gin can separate the cotton seeds from cotton.
One is called a spinning machine, which can easily turn cotton into cotton yarn, and another thing is called a shuttle loom.
So, we just need to grow cotton, the most wasteful link has been solved.”
Cao Xiang said disdainfully: "Can a few information agencies replace manpower?"
Yun Lang smiled and said, "Cao Xin would never ask such a stupid question."
Cao Xiang said in a little embarrassedly: "Cao Rui, Cao Fang..."
Yun Lang immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't mention them, my daughter won't marry them either, there is no possibility."
"Why?" Cao Xiang was a little angry.
Yun Lang said leisurely: "My predecessor of Northwest Science and Technology conducted a survey in the past and was surprised to find that the intelligence of the children was not high, and many people had various disabilities since they were born.
This is a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.”
"Meng Da, have you also taught me about the two brothers of Meng?"
Yun Lang said lightly: "This is incomparable. Even if you are willing to let me teach Cao Rui and Cao Fang in a special way, Princess Dangli would not agree.
She never thinks that her child has an intellectual problem, so you should teach Cao Xinba well, so as not to harm Cao Rui and Cao Fang in the future."
Cao Xiang sighed and said, "I haven't seen Cao Xin and Huo Er in half a year. As a father, I failed and didn't even know the movements of my son."
"Cao Xin, Huo Er went to Qinling Mountains a year ago. Now at my house. If you miss your son, go and have a look. Huo Er's belly is already very big and will give birth in less than two months."
Cao Xiang sighed and said, "Why are we father and son so unfamiliar?"
Yun Lang smiled and said, "A capable son basically won't be too close to his father. This is the true nature of a man."
"The child is so gloomy now. When I was cleaning up the Fuyang family business the year before yesterday, the child was very serious and some of his uncles disappeared from the world.
Now, I seem to have lost control of Fuyang, and I feel that this child is seizing power in a planned manner."
"This is not called seizing power, it is called pre-receiving. The more he receives, the more prosperous the Cao family will be in the future."
"The question is, where is my majesty?"
"Who told you to raise your son, the son himself is our sweet enemy, and all the surplus value you create will eventually fall into his hands.
Learn from me, don’t care about these details, you must know that I usually give it to you for free…”
Cao Xiang nodded and said, "That's the reason, but why do I feel so uncomfortable?"
Yun Lang laughed uncontrollably, and touched the wine bowl with Cao Xiang, and then brought a large bowl of cold grape wine into his mouth.
The hints made today were enough, and Cao Xiang didn't understand, so Yun Lang stopped saying more.
With Cao Xiang's wisdom, how could he not understand the meaning of what he did today? He didn't want to know or pay attention to it.
Slave trade, cotton trade, and Liu Ju's rapid expansion of personal strength, he was willing to choose the first two items, but he was unwilling to get entangled with Liu Ju.
Cao Xiang has strong confidence in the emperor. Over the years, the emperor has encountered countless storms and waves. He has been through it safe again and again. I think there will be no problem this time.
Yun Lang doesn't want slaves, and he will never want them anyway. He would rather develop industrial technology than use slaves.
It’s not that he has any good feelings for slaves, but that he feels that as a civilized person, he should not have any attachment to slaves.
Using slaves itself is a huge regression in civilization.
A cotton gin machine can top a hundred or even more slaves with hand-peeled cotton, a multi-wire textile machine can top dozens of female slave spinning wheels, and a shuttle loom machine can top a group of hand-woven cloth.
Yun Lang is preparing to place the cotton spinning mill in Shanglinyuan. After this factory is launched, it should be the factory with the highest technical level in the Han Dynasty and even the world, and there is also a vague shadow of the factory in later generations.
Cao Xiang visited Yun's cotton mill, and firmly abandoned his ridiculous idea of using a large number of slaves before, firmly participated in Yun's cotton mill, and also won the corresponding share for Huo Qubing and Li Gan.
In Huo Guang and Zhang Anshi's extremely dissatisfied eyes, after Yun Lang and Cao Xiang had a glass of wine, things fell into pieces.
"Northwest Science and Technology has been sharpening its sword for ten years, and now it has become the pork head meat that everyone wants!"
Zhang Anshi touched Huo Guang's shoulder with his head and whispered.
Huo Guangdao: "Money is not what we want, why has your greed not changed yet?"
Zhang Anshi rubbed his hands and spread them out and said, "There is no way, this is nature, I just like money."
"Why didn't the master give you some gold back then so that you could crush you to death."
"It's not too late for me to kill a bunch of gold. Mr. Zhang has always been persistent in doing things."
"Okay, let's not talk about this nonsense, the cotton mill model should be promoted and quickly create a large number of people who really rely on work and life. Only in this way can the city be vibrant, and this is our goal."
Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "Believe it or not, from now on, as long as the land that can grow cotton will grow, it will be covered with cotton. Compared with the benefits of growing grain, it is completely worth mentioning.
I am very worried that in the future, others will use Guan Zhong's method of "Qi silk and Lu silk as frost and snow" to fool the Han people from farming, which will eventually lead to the tragedy of the country's destruction."
(My mother, without the comment section, if you write such an allusion, there will be no brothers to help explain it, so that Jeremy 2 must be annotated for everyone to read.
The story was originally like this. Qi State had no choice but to deal with Lu State for a long time, and the Battle of Changshao was defeated by Lu State.
Therefore, Guan Zhong asked the king of Qi and his ministers and nobles to wear Lu silk woven by Lu silk, and ordered that he would not weave Qi silk in his country that was as famous as Lu silk. Therefore, the people of Qi followed suit, causing the price of Lu silk to soar. Not only that, Guan Zhong also ordered a large subsidy for Lu silk from Lu silk... As a result, Lu silk was in short supply, and weaving Lu silk is much faster than farming. Then - Lu silk people went to weave Lu silk, and no one farmed... After more than a year, Qi ordered that one inch of Lu silk should not be allowed to enter Qi. Therefore, Lu silk accumulated a huge amount of Lu silk, but there was not much food in the granary... Qi took the opportunity to increase the price of food... People would not die if they did not wear Lu silk, and people would die if they did not eat food... So! Everyone knows...
