Chapter 864 The pilot was very successful

It is a mule or a horse, so it is taken out and smooth.

Wang Ning'an arranged this comparison to find something practical... After all, the temple talks loudly, and can be said to be full of splashes and splashes.

However, no problem can be solved by debate. What's more, Wang Ning'an knows at most a general context, and it was sorted out by scholars of all generations. That thing can only be used as a reference at most. If it is really taken as a golden rule and pushes it down, something will be guaranteed.

And don’t forget that with Wang Ning’an’s current status, he would just recommend a decree, which might be hundreds of thousands of people or millions of people suffering. Maybe it would be a waste of people and a turmoil in the world. He must be very cautious.

It has been more than a year since Zhao Shu succeeded to the throne. Wang Ning'an did not have much action except for the steam engine... Sometimes, he even missed that when Uncle Zhao was there, at least someone wiped his butt. You said that whether it was restraining or protecting, it could at least shelter from wind and rain and resolve side effects.

In the end, you have to bear whatever you do now.

This is like changing from a manager to a chairman, and the difficulty is not the same level!

But since entering Yanzhou, Wang Ning'an's mood has improved a lot.

It is obvious that the roads in Yanzhou are wider and flat, and the fields on both sides are very neat. Every time you walk a distance, you can find ditches for water diversion and irrigation, and there are still many people busy.

Pick the dirt from your home into the field, use the late autumn period to prepare the land and compose it, and strive for a good harvest next year.

I can’t see a idler, this is the first feeling I give to Wang Ning'an.

Wen Yanbo, who came with them, had a long face, almost the same as a donkey.

He thought that if he could start a cotton spinning factory, he would increase his taxes and cover up all his bad habits, but the emperor was not so easy to fool.

And it seems that Yanzhou is indeed better than him. Wen Yanbo feels that he has been smart all his life and has always been unparalleled in his plan. So many people have fallen, but he can stand firm. This is his ability!

But this time he felt a strong crisis. Maybe he shouldn't have jumped down and made many mistakes... He only hoped that there would be more problems in Yanzhou. At that time, Wang Ning'an would not only not be able to attack, but also slap himself.

Gods and Buddhas all over the sky, I will definitely bless my disciples!

OK!

Mr. Wen has prayed to God and worshipped Buddha.

But obviously Buddha didn't want to care about his affairs... Yanzhou is much better than Jeju in every aspect, and he can clearly feel the satisfaction of the people. They all have hope on their faces and work in the fields. From time to time, people sing mountain tunes with rough voices, which has a unique flavor.

"It looks good, Master, please invite a few land gods!"

Zhao Shu summoned several young officials in charge of Yanzhou affairs in the temporary palace.

Su Che, Zhang Heng, Zhang Dun, Lu Yan, plus Wang Bang, and several tax officials and clerks were all present. It was obvious that Zhang Dun and Lu Yan were both tanned and dark. The two of them should have been running in the countryside a lot. Only Su Che and a few of them also lost weight, but from their faces, they could see that several of them were very confident.

"According to your report, a total of 200,000 cotton pieces were woven, which was far inferior to the 540,000 of Jeju! What's there to say?" Wang Ning'an asked.

"certainly!"

Zhang Dun was the first to stand up. He glanced at Wen Yanbo with a contempt, and then chuckled: "When the prince said, we actually weaved 370,000 pieces of cotton, which is only 170,000 less than Jeju! We all think that although Jeju is more than us, their approach is to fish out of the waters and not worth the loss!"

Wen Yanbo said with a dark face: "You should pay attention to evidence when speaking. If you weave less, you should not argue!"

"No!"

Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "Prince, can we allow us to report the detailed situation truthfully?"

"Tell me, but you must pay attention to your words and don't involve others!" Wang Ning'an pretended to scold him, and asked them to tell me how he did it...

As mentioned earlier, Lu Yan planned to divide the land into three years before he could divide the land to the tenant farmers.

After they communicated with the people, the people happily agreed.

Everyone will settle the accounts. In the past, they had to pay land rent and taxes, and basically more than half of the output had to be paid... According to Lu Yan's design, they were left with half of the fields to grow grain, and the remaining half were replaced with cotton... In fact, their food rations had no effect, they just had to spend a little more effort to grow cotton.

If it really succeeds, three years later, the people will be very happy to have a piece of land that belongs to them.

The least valuable thing for farmers is their strength. The more they use it, the more they have, there is nothing scary!

Under the stimulation of the land distribution, the people of Yanzhou finally started to move.

They made every effort to grow cotton, and the cotton grew well. Lu Yan, Zhang Dun, and many officials ran to the geography every day and got together with the people.

After communication, the people were organized and built the factory with 20,000 people. The people worked completely for free, and they only spent a little money on bricks and cement.

Then, Zhang Dun also bought a stock and introduced a steam loom from Youzhou, with a total of 2,000 spindles. The scale was only two-thirds of that of Jeju, which was also what they had discussed.

If you have the right to grow cotton at the beginning, regardless of the people's livelihood, lack food and starve to death, you will have to make a fuss. You would rather take a steady step than be quick and instant profit.

Just as the factory was established, Lu Yan organized the people to build more than a dozen water diversion channels.

Not only did it solve the problem of irrigation of cotton, but it also irrigated other ration fields.

In Jeju, the armed fights that occurred due to water competition did not happen, but also increased the yield of the people's grain by 20%. Don't underestimate these 20%. It turns out that people who are not full can eat enough, and those who are full have a little surplus.

This made Su Che see hope. He immediately set up a school in Yanzhou, which specialized in recruiting peasant children. He did not require these people to study and take the imperial examinations. He only required to read, know basic calculations, and be able to understand and explain... Then he hired two lecturers from the Age Institute of Technology from Youzhou to let them train these young people.

Among them, if you perform well, you can enter the factory and go to school and operate. You can get 100 yuan a month. This amount of money is really pitiful in Luoyang, but it will be different in Yanzhou.

For ordinary students, a monthly student only needs 50 tuitions. In other words, if you study well, you will not only not spend money, but also make money for your family!

All of the learning trends suddenly became aroused... Every household tightened their belts and sent their children to school, not to study and make sense, but to learn craftsmanship and make money!

You should know that a skilled worker can get 5 guan a month. If you learn to repair a steam engine, it will be even more amazing. You can even get hundreds of guan a month!

The biggest difference between working in a factory and farming in the countryside is that the factory pays money every month, while farming, you will get something once a year and make too little money.

Therefore, the people of Yanzhou are willing to invest financial resources in education, and even spend all their money. If the children perform well and can be selected for internship in the factory in advance, their families will celebrate with great enthusiasm.

It is precisely because of respecting technology and working hard to train workers that the quality of cotton cloth in Yanzhou is generally better than that in Jeju. This is not a bragging. Just selling it to the outside world, their price is 500 yuan more expensive than in Jeju.

"The prince, Tianzhu and Dashi merchants have all said that they are willing to increase their orders in Yanzhou next year, and we are also preparing to purchase more looms. It is estimated that by next year, Yanzhou's output will exceed Jeju in all aspects!"

Wen Yanbo's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth, but he didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Zhao Shu, he said curiously: "If you want to increase the output next year, you need a variety of cotton, right?"

"Well, that's true."

"What about food? What's the solution?"

"The main thing is to buy food!" Zhang Dun said: "Your Majesty, we have established a transportation and sales company, and we have also negotiated with Tianzhu that they will sell food next year and exchange it with us."

When talking about the transportation and sales company, Wang Ning'an also smiled.

"It is said that you buy cotton and sell cotton cloth, and this company does it all?"

"The prince Mingjian, this transportation and sales company was founded in partnership by the people and the cotton mills, in order to reduce the circulation links and exploit cotton farmers!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Dun glanced at Wen Yanbo and thought to himself, "Old guy, you know where you are wrong!"

The effort we put in is much deeper than you!

Speaking of which, this transportation and sales company is Lu Yan's idea.

Wang Ning'an had previously encouraged companies to transport vegetables and livestock products in various places to solve the needs of the city.

Lu Yan learned from this trick, and he taught Wang Ning'an and Zhao Shu a lesson!

Wen Yanbo has caused many problems in Jeju. The most important one is that there are problems in the middle link, and the transportation and sales company is the key to solving the problem!

Lu Yan sighed: "For many years, the imperial court has not gone to the countryside. Who has the final say in the local area? There are gentry, clerk, clan, even gangsters, messy gangs... They exploited them layer by layer, sucked bones and marrow... They all had to make a fortune by purchasing cotton from the people. If the people bought food, they would also have to peel them a layer of skin. If these people were not solved, any change would not only not bring benefits to the people, but would also become a way to harm the people!"

He said this to Wen Yanbo and to himself.

Didn’t Lu Yan use the clerk wrongly to create a lawsuit for life? He learned from his mistakes. This time, he directly asked the people to set up a company, send cotton from the fields to the factory, and transport what the people need from the city to the countryside... They only charge a very meager freight fee. Doing so not only increases the purchase price of cotton, but also reduces the cost of the factory. It is really a killing two birds with one stone!"

Hearing this, even Wen Yanbo was not calm!

Oh... Why are I so stupid?
