Chapter 743

Conquering India is easy to surprise, as if God intends to keep such a strange country to serve as a nourishment for industrial civilization.

In Ye Hua's view, the "third brother" is like lubricant. Even if the two major departments of industry and agriculture can barely exchange, there is still a problem of scissors gap. Obviously, under the current state, farmers can only suffer some losses.

But after the situation in India was opened, the two originally sharp opposition factions eased instantly.

"The population of India is not much smaller than that of Dazhou. Even if one person uses a handkerchief, it will be enough for the factory to start construction." Brother Guo Xing said relaxedly.

In fact, before the steam engine appeared, there was a hydroloon in Guanjunfang. In Jiangnan, there were even hydroloons that could spin 64 threads at the same time.

There is really no need to doubt the intelligence of Han craftsmen, but these looms have never become mainstream.

The increase in efficiency several times means that the loom in the woman's hands has lost its value. The division of labor formed over thousands of years has not been unreasonable.

Men plough the fields in exchange for food for family survival, and women weave cloth, in addition to wearing it for family members, they will also get it on the market for money to fill in the family.

Usually, people plant mulberry and hemp in front of and behind the house. Men are worth showing off their ability. Women are skillful and skillful. The fabrics and embroidered patterns are more popular than others. It is also a matter of pride that they can be sold at high prices.

A strong man and a skilled woman, combined together is a "good"!

But manpower can never compete with machines. When looms become popular and the price of cloth falls, the spinning wheels of ordinary people will be unsustainable and may even affect tax revenues in various places. Moreover, the efficiency improvement requires more raw materials, and the land needs to be converted into mulberry trees and cotton... The expansion of the economic crop area will cause a food crisis... One by one, one by one, it is almost a dead knot.

Many prefectures in many places will use various means to restrict foreign silk cloth.

At present, the textile workshops in Jiangnan have not only supplied overseas trade, but also military supplies. As for the countryside, they cannot be transferred to the market.

It is hard for him to criticize anything, including Ye Hua, you have your reasons, the people have their livelihoods, and the actual difficulties in various places...

Of course, if you open the doors overseas, everything will be different.

"We can first use a low price to destroy Tianzhu's handmade loom, and then increase the price and squeeze huge profits from Tianzhu."

Brother Guo Xing did not realize that he was doing bad things at all, but seemed extremely excited. In his heart, what he pursued was to realize his ideals. What he inherited from Ye Hua was to bring the Great Zhou into the industrial age.

Brother Guo Xing felt that this was more important than anything else. The only thing that could be compared is the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He could not harm his own people, force others to lose their fortunes, separate his wife and children, and would not destroy the country left by his father. Apart from that, he had no scruples. At least the life and death of the Indians was not among his concerns.

"We use cotton gauze to exchange gold, silver and grain from India... Money is used to support the saints' use of troops to the outside world. Food is used to supply the needs of the city. We can make the territory of the Great Zhou more and more broad and the national strength becomes stronger without harming the people!"

Brother Guo Xing crossed his legs and held the back of his head with both hands. His two white front teeth showed a shining light, like a proud little fox, laughing.

However, opposite Brother Guo Xing, the Crown Prince Guo Zongxun didn't think so. He felt that things could not be simplified.

"Uncle, have you considered the grain price of Dazhou when I get food from Tianzhu? Also, dumping cotton yarn to Tianzhu. Have you considered how much land you need to use and change to plant cotton? If you expand your production capacity, do you want to hire more workers? How do you calculate the treatment of workers?"

Brother Guo Xing had to admit that the prince was four years younger than him, but this guy really thought more comprehensively than himself. He spread his hands, "What do you think you should do?"

Guo Zongxun smiled proudly, he really had a plan.

"It was only after my master's reminder that I figured it out. Please refer to it together..."

Guo Zongxun felt that the first thing to do was to define the range of cotton fields and mulberry fields, and determine the number of plants to be changed... This should not be done casually. If it is fast, it will affect food security, and if it is slow, it will delay making money.

After confirmation, subsidies should be provided to farmers, especially grain farmers.

"Cotton and raw silk require more labor than grain fields, and the profits are more abundant than grain. People drive the benefits. We cannot repeat the mistakes of the Southern Tang Dynasty... The subsidy for grain farmers is not to give them money, but encourage various grain cooperatives to purchase steam engines and new agricultural tools... In this way, they can use fewer farmers to cultivate more land and increase grain production... As for the extra people, they can go to cotton fields and mulberry fields, act as labor, and enter cities and act as workers... This should be coordinated with appropriate education."

Guo Zongxun said seriously: "Uncle, the treatment of workers should still be improved, at least not worse than that of farmers."

This time, Brother Guo Xing did not hesitate, "As long as the factory can be guaranteed to make a profit, I will certainly be happy to see it happen!"

"Okay, the profits will be extracted from the Indians. They agree and agree. If they don't agree, they will fight until they agree!" Guo Zongxun said viciously... This kid also only needs to be responsible to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As for the Indians, they care about their death!

Ye Hua did not participate in the discussion too much, he just looked at it with a smile.

Whether it is industrial development or external expansion, it is not something that a person can do. Ye Hua doesn’t think he can do everything, nor does he think that a generation can accomplish everything.

Some people inherited his ideals and the next generation was willing to promote them according to his ideas. Ye Hua felt very satisfied. At least he taught two pretty good students.

"You guys talk. After the negotiations, go to find Wang Xianggong and Li Xianggong. I won't get involved."

Ye Hua patted his butt without waiting for the two little guys to object, so he quickly left. There was still something to wait at home!

Today is the day when Ye Xi and Ye Xi graduated from elementary school. The son inherited the intelligence of his parents and was definitely a super academic master. Even the teacher would be stumped by the little guy.

But apart from his academic performance, this kid has nothing to relieve Ye Hua. On the contrary, he has caused trouble for his father all day long.

Look, today he brought a classmate from his sister's class for birthday.

The little girl is very pretty, with a little baby fat, and her eyes are black, like a little angel. She stands with the two dolls of the Ye family, not at all afraid and generous, which makes Fu San surprised.

She thought it was brought by her daughter Ye Wei, so she pulled the little girl in front of her, took a closer look, and asked happily: "Who are you from? What are you doing here?"

"My surname is Wang, and my grandfather is Wang Pu!"

"oh!"

Fu San was happy again, "It turns out that he is Wang Xianggong's granddaughter, no wonder! Are you here to celebrate their birthdays?"

The little girl had a tense face and did not answer, but her eyes turned to Ye Xi, which surprised Fu San. How could a little girl look at her son if she doesn't kiss her daughter?

At this time, Ye Xi finally took advantage of her courage to walk to my mother, remained silent for a while, and mustered up the courage to shock Fu Sanda as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Mom!" The little guy said seriously: "I want to ask my mother to help us!"

As soon as this said, Fu San felt a stream of blood rushing to the top of his head, and his head was getting bigger. She tried her best to tell herself that you are the female god of wealth and the master of the Ye Mansion. You must be elegant and calm!

But when she saw Ye Xi grab the little girl's hand, Fu San was already exploded.

"Little bastard, see if I won't beat you to death!"

She raised her slap, Ye Xi was even more thief than her, and pulled the little girl to the backyard. In this home, the only thing that I could fear was the ancestor.

Ye Xi ran and said, "The situation in our family is different. My mother is not as open-minded as your mother. You just don't listen. You see it! Why don't you tell my father? He promises to nod!"

The little girl Hong puffed her face, pursed her lips and didn't say anything, and her eyes were full of agreement. The two little guys panted and fled to Ye's room, ran directly into the warm room, and finally safe!

...

On the other side, Ye Wei stood in front of me, "... Last year, I got the second place in the exam. When my brother heard that there were students who were better than me in the female school, he yelled to vent his anger and ask her to come out to meet her and teach her a lesson."

"And you help?"

"Yeah!" Ye Wei pouted, "Mom, my brother is so sinister. After meeting, he didn't say anything, but just met him... Who knew that a few days later, he would send notes to the girl and take out our knowledge and give it to others. At the end of this year, I was dumped even further!"

Needless to say, Ye Wei's grievances, "I told my elder brother that he would not want him to go to outsiders. What do you think he would say? He said he would not be an outsider soon. As long as his mother agrees, she will be our family!"

Ye Wei was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed, "Mom, please take care of your brother!"

Fu San's face turned dark, "Is it possible? Can I take care of it?"

At this time, Ye Hua happened to come back, and Fu San suddenly stood up, "Look, the good son you gave birth to have brought your daughter-in-law home! If you don't care, you will become a hooligan!"

Ye Hua was confused when he heard this. Before he understood what was going on, he saw Wang Pu coming happily. His old face turned into a chrysanthemum, "I said, Marquis, when will he be hired?"

Ye Hua's head is bigger than Fu San, "I said, "Good Wang, what's the recruitment? Why don't I know?"

"Hahaha! Everything is about fate, and it's not too late to know now!" Wang Pu said, and took out a note with his granddaughter's birth date and entrusted it to Ye Hua.

"Don't you know Fu Yaozi? Ask him to approve marriages and see if Geely?"

Ye Hua rolled his eyes and asked the old charlatan, of course, if you want to be lucky, you will be lucky, if you want to be lucky, you will be unlucky.

Fu San on the side had already reached the verge of an outbreak. She didn't say a word, and she was about to become a mother-in-law. Is there any family law?

"Mr. Wang!" Fu San's voice increased eighth. Just as he was about to attack, Ye suddenly walked in from outside, one left and one right, followed by two dolls, and the old lady's eyes were smiling into a crack.

"Okay, it's so good! Ye Hua was just unaware of it at the beginning and kept dragging it on, delaying it for many years. Xier is still sensible and knows what the old lady cares about!"

Ye walked directly to Wang Pu and said with a smile: "Grandpa Wang, this daughter is so good. The old lady is interested in it. She will be hired after she turns around. When they get older, they will officially get married!"

Ye took the little girl's hand and stuffed a piece of topaz in her hand. "Hold it, this is what the late emperor rewarded to the ancestor. From now on, you will be a member of the Ye family!"
