    Lingnan refers to the south of the Five Ridges. During the Song Dynasty, Lingnan was divided into Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road. The names Guangdong and Guangxi came from this, but they were not used until later generations.

    Since the winter of last year, the West India Trading Company has invested more than 20 million guan in Guangnan to support the sericulture industry in Guangnan.

    The reason Yang Yi dared to invest like this was because he knew that in later generations, Guangxi's cocoon production would rank first among all provinces in the country.  In addition, Guangxi has many mountains and few fields, which is also very suitable for the development of sericulture.

    This time, under the operation of merchants, a huge amount of 20 million yuan of money was brought to the greatest expression. Western Indian Ocean trading companies were established in seven places: Guizhou, Liuzhou, Pennsylvania, Guizhou, Yongzhou, Yizhou, and Qinzhou.  There are large-scale silk reeling factories and silk weaving factories, as well as supporting workshops such as cocoon baking and dyeing workshops.

    There are also many varieties of silk produced, including damask, satin, gauze, Luo, brocade, raw silk, wool, silk, silk, etc., as many as ten types, among which the Song brocade, silk and gold-decorated fabrics are particularly popular.  People admire it.

    Textile factories employ locals, mostly from Dali, Annan, and many free workers from Nanyang.  The combined employment of textile factories in the seven states exceeds 60,000 people.

    There are also 30,000 young people scattered in mulberry fields in various places responsible for planting mulberry. Although many of the laborers are free labor obtained by Tanaka Heishichiro and his group, it is impossible to improve labor efficiency by purely using slavery.

    Therefore, in addition to adopting severe high-pressure measures, the Western Indian Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. also implements individual reward measures among these people. Those who perform well will receive much better food and even receive a certain salary;

    The highest reward is to transfer to the Song Dynasty household registration.  Like other people in the Song Dynasty, they obtained personal freedom.  Those who are willing to continue to be employed in Mulberry Garden can also receive the same wages as ordinary people in the Song Dynasty.  In short, trading companies do everything they can to stimulate these people's enthusiasm for work.

    ¡°These people all have tattoos on their faces, including their names and which mulberry fields they belong to. Whoever dares to run away will have no place to live with the tattoos on their faces. Once they are caught, the end will be tragic.  It can be said.  These people have no other option but to perform well and strive for better treatment.

    In addition, Guangnan is booming, industry and commerce are booming, and it is easy to find employment opportunities, while Dali is raging at home. Under the control of the Song Dynasty, the Duan and Gao families fought fiercely for more than two years without deciding the outcome.  This resulted in numerous disaster victims in Dali, who were left homeless and flooded into Guangxi and Guangdong. This also provided very favorable conditions for the development of Guangnan as a whole.

    Yang Yi went all the way south from Guizhou.  On both sides of the wide straight road, it is no longer like during the southern expedition to Jiaozhi, where no one could see homes for dozens of miles.  People from Dali poured into Guangxi, and the Song Dynasty welcomed them.  The government tried its best to resettle them and provide them with life-saving food and production tools;

    Nowadays, the crowds on both sides of the straight road are much denser than before.  New villages can be seen from time to time, and wine flags are waving on the roadside from time to time.

    Sitting in the comfortable carriage, Qing Niang looked at the unique and beautiful mountains and rivers of Guangxi and said with sincerity: "A few years ago, Lingnan was still a smog-filled place that everyone regarded as daunting. To be demoted to Lingnan was almost like a death sentence. But  Who would have thought that Lingnan contains such strange mountains and rivers, and such flat straight roads that even the Central Plains cannot match. As soon as you enter Guangnan, you will feel that there is a different world. If you don't come here, you will regret it for the rest of your life.  "

    Yang Yi shook a feather fan, like the Jiangdong Zhou Lang, and said with a loud smile: "Qing Niang, you are now famous all over the world, and the world is competing to sing your lyrics. Since you like Lingnan, you must send a few more masterpieces back to the Central Plains.  , when the time comes, there will be an influx of people looking for beauty, so this can be regarded as making some contribution to the people of Lingnan!"

    Qing Niang half-covered her pretty face with a small ball fan. She turned her bright eyes and smiled and said, "Brother Yang is here to make fun of me again. You are famous all over the world. If you want to write a poem, you have to write it first."

    ¡°Oh, okay, let¡¯s have a poetry contest with a few of us.¡±

    Before Yang Yi finished speaking, Princess Qin and Adela rushed to say: "We can't compete between you and Qingniang. Well, let's be the judge."

    Yang Yi used the feather fan to pick Adela's chin, and said in a strange and unclear way: "Adela, do you want to judge too?"

    Adela felt guilty inexplicably. As her heart beat faster, her proud breasts rose and fell, coupled with the intoxicating body fragrance, it was really moving.

    "Then I won't judge, just listen." Adela was lifted by her chin, and when she saw his scorching gaze, she suddenly felt timid.

    Yang Yi teased the beauty and felt better. He laughed and said, "Qing Niang, let's start now."

    Seeing his proud look, Qingniang couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and hummed: "Brother Yang, come first."

    "What's so difficult about this? Listen up! The warmth of spring brings thousands of beautiful scenery, which are as picturesque as they are natural  The rays of light reflect on the water and the waves are reflected on the water, and the waterfall sprinkles pearls and adorns the purple smoke.  The green bamboos and poplars are singing, and the new villages and old villages are noisy with laughter.  Tao Qian could live in Taoyuan, where a wisp of red clouds fell all over the fields.  "

    Qingniang murmured and recited his poem, and then she chanted, not to be outdone: "The boat sails through the many embankments, and the peaks return to the river and turn to Penglai. The dawn mist in the oasis touches people's faces, and the bamboo-shaped egrets skim the water.  Come."

    Zhao Qian and Adela obviously sided with Qingniang. As soon as Qingniang finished reciting the poem, the two of them immediately cheered. There were only two listeners in the car. If people thought Qingniang's poem was good, what could Mrs. Yang say?

    That¡¯s all, even Xiaobai beside the car also screamed out, as if cheering for Qing Niang, which made Taifu Yang completely embarrassed.

    "Xiaobai, what's your ghost name?" Taifu Yang stretched his feather fan out of the car window and pointed at Xiaobai. Xiaobai whined a few times and fled into the woods on the roadside.

    ¡°Well, an accomplice was gone, and Taifu Yang finally felt better. He sat back, coughed twice and said: ¡°Mine is Qilu, Qingniang¡¯s is quatrains. I have more words, so I win.¡±

    Qing Niang immediately disagreed and said: "Who is bad and who is good, does it matter how many words are there? Sister Zhao and Adela both said that they are good, so this time they win, hehe."

    When Qing Niang finished speaking, she laughed proudly, and Zhao Qian and Adela also laughed sweetly.

    Taifu Yang did not give up and chanted again: "Who will release the divine horse on Si Mountain? Breathing out mist and swallowing clouds is extraordinary. Thousands of miles of wind and clouds reward lofty ambitions. A river spends its years in mist and rain. He once led powerful generals to conquer the north and south, and also had heavenly troops stationed at Hanguan. Today  Happy to meet the new sun and moon. Xiao Xiaoyan sends thousands of sails."

    After Yang Taifu finished reciting the poem, he fanned the feather fan in his hand repeatedly.  Even though Kod¨­ Shurou put on all the stops, no one cheered.

    Qing Niang smiled before saying anything, and threw herself into the arms of the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom. Her shoulders shrugged, her waist trembled slightly, and she looked overjoyed.

    Adela noticed the change in Yang Taifu's expression, and fearing that it would harm Chi Yu, she quickly urged: "Qing Niang, it's your turn. Recite it quickly."

    Only then did Qing Niang hold back her laughter, sit up straight and sing slowly: "The boat is moored near the Western Mountain at night, with three or five people's houses dotted with stars. The shadows of the trees are slanting on the river, the water is still, and the fishing lanterns are faint in the evening smoke. It is difficult to draw a picture of the Qianxun cliff, which is hundreds of feet tall.  The shadows of robbers cross the cold pool. There is a sound coming from the distant pool, and the top of the peak is clear with silver and Chinese jade."

    "What a poem! She truly deserves to be the most talented woman in the world. This poem is ethereal, far-reaching, detailed and vivid, leaving a lingering fragrance in your lips and teeth after reading it."

    This time Adela and Zhao Qian not only cheered for Qing Niang.  He also added some comments, which were completely opposite to the cold reception Yang Taifu had just received, which made Yang Taifu sigh that he was born at the wrong time.

    "No more fun, no more fun. The three of you are working together, colluding with each other, and colluding with each other. It is simply the greatest misfortune of my Yang family, and you should be despised by all generations."

    Taifu Yang was indignant.  In the end, before I could finish condemning some people¡¯s behind-the-scenes actions, I found three incestuous bodies.  Six jade arms had already rushed towards him, some were beating, some were twisting, and now Taifu Yang was not only hurt mentally, but also scarred physically, which was terrible.

    Of course, Taifu Yang also secretly made a lot of benefits. This willow has a thin waist, that fragrant palace is rich, and this pepper milk is very sizzling. In his confusion, Yang Taifu can't tell whose this is and whose it is. From now on, he will have to  Just slowly investigate and collect evidence.

    Three days later, the group arrived in Liuzhou. Qingniang couldn't wait to pay her respects at the tomb of Liu Zongyuan. Liu Zongyuan was included in the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties and was demoted to Liuzhou for several years. During this period, he left many writings and poems.

    On November 8, the fourteenth year of Yuanhe (819 AD), Liu Zongyuan died of illness in Liuzhou.  People followed his will and placed his spiritual hub beside Luochi, which he loved during his lifetime.

    He was an honest official. After his death, the orphans and widows had a difficult life. His funeral expenses were raised by his surviving friends.  His soul was transported back to Wannian County, Chang'an.  The people of Liuzhou built his tomb of clothes and crowns at the original Lingshu site, and built the Luochi Temple next to Luochi to commemorate him.

    By the Song Dynasty, the court posthumously named Liu Zongyuan the Marquis of Wenhui.  Qing Niang offered sacrifices to the three animals with great reverence, sprinkled wine on them and left a poem in memory of her predecessors:

    Living on the edge of Lingnan, my soul and white clouds fly together.

    "The ink rhyme remains in the eternal article, and the green peach has no owner for another thousand years."

    Yang Yi also went, but he was more or less utilitarian. A literary figure like Liu Zongyuan would spread the word more and let people pay more attention to him. This would be of great benefit to the local academic style, and it could also subtly influence people's attitude towards him.  Fear in Lingnan.

    In order to promote the literature study style, Shiyi donated 100,000 yuan at a time to build an academy in Liuzhou and named it "Wenhui Academy".  At the same time, the Guangxi Economic and Strategic Envoy was given the final say to allocate 2,000 acres of fertile land to the academy as a school field, and Huang Tingjian, a Guangxi academic administrator, was also appointed as the mountain director of Wenhui Academy.

    Let the academy expand its enrollment scope and select good families.For younger students to study, it doesn¡¯t matter if their foundation is poor. First, increase the number of students. As long as they teach carefully, Yang Yi believes that sooner or later, quantitative changes will be transformed into qualitative changes.

    If a place wants to prosper, culture and education are an indispensable part. With an investment of 100,000 yuan and 2,000 acres of fertile land as the academy's assets, and with Huang Tingjian, a literary master, at the helm, Yang Yi believes that Wenhui Academy will sooner or later become the center of the Song Dynasty.  A first-class academy.

    After working hard in Liuzhou for a few days, Yang Yi finally waited for someone, Liu Zheng from the Southwest Group of Zifang Guan.
