As soon as Yang Yica came out of the bath, the concierge at home reported that Mo Qin, the envoy of the Liangzhe Road Manager, was visiting. Yang Yi very much suspected that Mo Qin had sent a special person to stay at the main road in and out of Hangzhou to check his whereabouts, otherwise he would have arrived so quickly.
However, when Yang Yi arrived in Hangzhou this time, he had no intention of deliberately concealing his whereabouts. When he was in Suzhou, he had already sent an urgent report to the court, requesting the court's approval to establish an embroidery training center and an embroidery engineering department. This matter was not difficult to pass in the court.
But it is one thing to pass the court, and this matter requires the cooperation of the local government. Therefore, if the Liangzhe Road Economic Envoy does not come to his door, he will also go to the economic and strategic yamen. Now Mo Qin is here, and he has come to the provincial government. I asked him for a trip.
Although Mo Qin was a high-ranking official of the third rank, he did not dare to make any excuses. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Yang Yi directly proposed that the Liangzhe Road Economic and Strategy Department urge all states and counties to establish training centers as soon as possible and establish an embroidery engineering department in Hangzhou.
This is a good thing that will benefit both the country and the people, so Mo Qin naturally agreed.
"It's rare for Mr. Yang to return to his hometown. Do you want to stay longer?"
"I am on a hunting expedition in the sky, and there are still many places to go. The time I can stay in Hangzhou is as long as five days or as short as three days. It is really inconvenient to stay longer."
"Taifu Yang worked hard for the country, and left a lot of virtues and policies wherever he went. He is truly a model for all officials. I think of Taifu Yang's hard work, and I am so dedicated."
Yang Yi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then waved his hand with a smile and said: "I appreciate Lord Mo's kindness. To be honest with Lord Mo, I haven't returned to my hometown for three years and my trip is in a hurry. I will stay in Hangzhou when I can." There are not many days left, so I hope you will understand me and allow me to hide at home for three or two days. I can only make up for my discourtesy later."
Mo Qin hurriedly responded: "Taifu Yang really means what he said. How can a subordinate be ignorant of what is good and what is wrong and take the liberty to come here today. I hope Taifu Yang will forgive me."
"Today is a different matter. If Master Mo doesn't come, I have to make a trip to Shuaisi, right?"
"Haha, Taifu Yang went on a hunting expedition on behalf of the sky and arrived in Hangzhou. I should report to you how the politics of the two Zhejiang roads are going. I won't bother Taifu Yang again in the future, so I will give you a rough report today. I hope Taifu Yang can give me a moment's grace. .¡±
"Of course, Lord Mo, please give a brief introduction to mulberry farming, silk weaving, shipping, printing, etc."
The aspects mentioned by Yang Yi are all pillar industries in Hangzhou. For example, in weaving, a government-owned weaving workshop was established in Hangzhou in the first year of Daodao (995). At the end of the year, silk from various states in the city was given to him. The cocoon book mountain stands, and the sound of the wheel can be heard by the animals. Every year, the silk damask supplied on the two Zhejiang roads accounts for one-third of the country's supply, Yang Yi wants to ask. Naturally, we have to ask these things.
"Master Bingyang, maritime trade has boomed in recent years, driving the rapid development of sericulture, silk weaving, tea, ceramics, engraving, papermaking, shipbuilding, wine making, and other handicraft industries. As for the sericulture and silk weaving industries, now the two Zhejiang Road Fiber Everyone in Mojie farmed mulberry trees. Every family raised mulberry trees. Last year, the two Zhejiang roads produced a total of 9.2 million kilograms of cocoons, accounting for nearly 30% of the total output of the Song Dynasty;
In addition to the government-run weaving workshops in Hangzhou, there have been as many as 16 large-scale silk weaving workshops with more than 1,000 employees on Liangzhe Road in recent years, including four extra-large weaving workshops with more than 3,000 employees; In addition to supplying domestic products, they are also sold overseas in large quantities;
Hangzhou's engraving industry was already ranked first. After the recovery of Yanyun, Liaodong, Western Regions, and Annan, the imperial court vigorously implemented Sinicization. Most of the required classics and books were engraving in Hangzhou. In addition, the exchanges with Goryeo, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries became increasingly close. Most of these Tibetan countries asked us, the Song Dynasty, to purchase scriptures;
For example, "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Seven Classics of Justice", "Historical Records", "Han Shu", "Hou Han Shu", "Book of Songs", "Yi Jing", as well as Tang poetry and the collection of poems by famous Song Dynasty writers are all from various countries. There was a rush to buy books, which further promoted the expansion of Hangzhou's printing industry;
The vigorous development of the engraving industry has also promoted the prosperity of the paper making industry, such as the Huangteng paper in Youquan Village, Yuhang, Xiaojing paper in Fuyang, Chiting paper in Chiting Mountain, and Wenzhou paper, etc., all of which are very famous. The size of the workshops has increased several times, even ten times, compared to previous years.
Tea production has always been a major issue in our Liangzhe Road. Today¡¯s tea-frying technology first emerged in our Liangzhe Road. The scale of tea gardens in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yixing, Changzhou, Yuezhou and other places is getting larger and larger. The largest ones include three tea farmers. Four hundred households, Yuqian Longjing and other famous teas are famous all over the world, selling for hundreds of dollars per tael, which has increased a lot of taxes on the two Zhejiang roads.
The shipbuilding industry is the fastest growing industry in Zhejiang and Zhejiang Provinces. Several official shipyards in Hangzhou, Mingzhou and Wenzhou build more than 700 large and small ships every year. At the same time, in addition to the above mentioned places, Runzhou, Dinghai, Jiangyin, A large number of private shipyards have also emerged in Yanhai and other places. Today, the shipbuilding capacity of Liangzhe Road ranks first in the Song Dynasty;
The Municipal Shipping Department is in charge of inspecting foreign ships entering and leaving the seaport, collecting customs duties, purchasing goods exclusively sold by the imperial court, and managing foreign merchants."As maritime trade continues to flourish, the tariffs of shipping companies in Hangzhou and Mingzhou have increased by nearly 60%, reaching more than 5 million yuan."
Yang Yi nodded and said: "The rise of the shipbuilding industry is a good thing. Local governments must support it more and prohibit local officials from interfering too much with the daily operations of private shipyards so that these private shipyards can grow naturally. In addition, shipbuilding will consume a lot of wood. In order for the shipbuilding industry to continue to develop, local governments must issue laws and regulations to prohibit disorderly logging. When one tree is cut for shipbuilding, three trees must be replanted. This matter must not be taken lightly."
"Don't worry, Taifu Yang, the lower officials have issued corresponding decrees."
"This is the best, Mr. Mo, please continue."
As the economic and strategic envoy, Mo Qin talked endlessly about the development of the Zhejiang and Zhejiang roads, and talked with Yang Yi for an entire hour.
Finally, he sighed with emotion: "The vigorous development of all walks of life requires a lot of manpower. The shortage of manpower is most serious in our two Zhejiang Provinces. In big cities like Hangzhou, the price of hiring labor has now reached 210 cents a day. Many workshops Still cannot hire enough manpower;
The official tried his best to solve this problem, but it was difficult to make much improvement for a while. The policy of encouraging childbearing introduced by the imperial court will not take effect for at least ten years. It can be said that distant water cannot save the near fire. "
Yang Yi smiled and said: "Master Mo can publish a list to encourage businessmen to hire workers in Japan, Korea, Nanyang and other places."
"To be honest with Mr. Yang, this ranking list has been posted a long time ago. Japan is better. Korea probably found that too many laborers left the country, and now they have restricted people from leaving the country. It's not easy to handle!"
Yang Yi glanced sideways and said, "That's unreasonable. It seems that the King of Goryeo can't do anything without beating him."
Mo Qin heard what he said. His eyes flickered. He really was Taifu Yang who had destroyed countless countries. Look at what he said.
Since ancient times, population has been an important resource that countries compete for. Usually, every country restricts people from migrating to other countries. It is reasonable for Goryeo to do this, but when it comes to Yang Taifu, it becomes "unreasonable". Mo Qin can't help but secretly laugh. .
But in Yang Yi¡¯s opinion, this is indeed unreasonable. You are lucky that I did not destroy you, Korea. Now I only ask you to provide some labor and serve as our product sales market, which is already a very preferential treatment for you, Korea.
"Well, I will report this matter to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to put pressure on Goryeo and resolve the matter as soon as possible."
The two of them talked for a while, and then Mo Qin said goodbye and left, not mentioning the reception banquet anymore.
??In fact, the situation on Liangzhe Road. Yang Yi knew very well that most of the wealthy businessmen in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce were from Liangzhe Road. Yang Yi could not hide the development of Liangzhe Road in all aspects.
Overall, Mo Qin, the manager, did a pretty good job. At least it has not become a stumbling block for the development of agriculture, industry and commerce on the two Zhejiang Roads. Yang Yi has already known this, and today I heard him report some rough data. That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t ask too much about the details.
After sending Mo Qin away, Yang Yi asked people to thank the guests behind closed doors. Now that the eldest princess of Qin is at home, it is really inconvenient to meet many guests at home. To avoid leaking the news.
In the backyard, there are small bridges and flowing water, winding paths leading to secluded areas, and strange flowers and rocks. Upstairs in the small building shaded by willows, the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom is dressed in a water-green smoke Luo Chun shirt, with silk shoes on her feet, a tortoise shell on her head, her beauty blooming in the distance, and her green temples are thickly dyed with spring smoke.
She was holding a Book of Songs in her hand and was reciting softly: "The Qingqing Zijin is lingering in my heart. Even if I don't go, I would rather not have a sound! The Qingqing Zipei, lingering in my mind. Even if I don't go, I would rather not have a sound." Come"
When she suddenly saw Yang Yi coming, she couldn't stop thinking anymore. She jumped into Yang Yi's arms and hugged him tightly, unwilling to relax at all. Yang Yi gently stroked his pink back and said comfortingly: "Ying'er"
Princess Qin twisted her waist and interrupted him: "No, there are only you, me, Liu'er and Wan'er here, why do you have to call people by their fake names? It sounds weird."
"It's better to call it that way. Be careful and you can make a ten-thousand-year ship. Don't you want Ying'er to spend ten thousand years with me?"
"Don't talk about ten thousand years, if we can spend ten years together, I will be satisfied."
"Ten years are nothing. By the way, let's fight into the Hetao Desert together. This time I will take you to Nanyang to become a male and female robber. Ying'er, do you still remember what I said? I want to make up for your youth. I Late time.¡±
Yang Yi said and kissed her forehead gently. At this moment, Princess Qin only heard that Yang Yi wanted to take her to the ends of the earth to make up for her youth. As for what to do, he selectively ignored it. , for her, as long as she stays with Yang Yi, it doesn't matter what she does.
Liu'er and Wan'er were making dragon and phoenix tea in front of the window, with their hands moving and listening to the conversation between Yang Yi and Princess Qin.When Yang said that he would take the princess with him, the two pretty palace maids were also overjoyed. They were destined to be by the princess's side in their lives, which meant that they and the princess were one.
"Tea is ready, princess"
"Shh! You can't call me princess, call me lady instead." Yang Yi took the tea cup and warned Wan'er at the same time.
"Yes, my lord." The two girls responded with a smile. Their curling figures were like weak willows supporting the wind, and their pretty faces were slightly flushed.
Seeing that Wan'er and Liu'er couldn't suppress their shyness in front of Yang Yi, Princess Qin gave Yang Yi a slightly angry look, as if she was blaming Yang Yi for being too good at "attracting bees and butterflies".
Yang Yi showed an innocent face and smiled without saying a word. Although Liu'er's Wan'er's beauty was not inferior to that of ordinary ladies, she had not yet reached a place where he took the initiative to provoke. Those in the palace were fat and thin, and their manners were extremely complicated. Fang's concubines, he has never taken the initiative to provoke anyone.
Regarding beauties, Yang Yi¡¯s current policy is not to take the initiative to provoke them. Of course, if someone takes the initiative to provoke us, that¡¯s a different matter.
"Are you really going to Nanyang? What are you going to do?" Princess Qin put down her tea cup and asked curiously.
"Didn't I tell you? I want you and Yinger to be male and female robbers."
"Humph, that's all nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, I've always been bad, don't you know? Hahaha"
