Chapter 752 Workers
At this moment, several women walked in with a few young people, looked around and sat next to Yue Fei.
Most women come out to drink, but they are not good at it. Yue Fei couldn't help but look at them a few more times, but they saw that these women were dressed very well and did not look like women in the world. Yue Fei couldn't help but frown. Wang Xiaoli is good at everything, but he is too indulgent to the people under his rule.
Several people sat down and called the servant loudly. They said, "One person has one waist, another fish, and another twenty skewers of meat. By the way, there is iced wine, and a large glass of wine!"
The servant said yes and asked, "Why don't you guys have some cold dishes? Let's eat them before the barbecue."
The man said, "That's right. What do you want? Come out with an idea!"
A person next to him said: "Cold mung bean sprouts, shallots and tofu, cold lotus root slices - another mixed egg. It's enough!"
The servant took down one by one and quickly went to urge the vegetables.
Seeing these people behaved unruly and had no etiquette, Yue Fei next to him was displeased.
The man who ordered the dishes said: "Today's meal is supposed to be Xi Sanniang. Sanniang, is the dish we ordered still suitable?"
A strong woman said, "It's okay. What's wrong with me? You guys, don't think I'm a woman, just come and cheat on my money."
After moving south from Tongzhou and joining Zhang Jun's team, Yue Fei's military was only attentive to Zhao Gou. He has been dedicated to training in the past two years, and has now formed a single army from Zhang Jun's subordinates. It can be said that Yue Fei is just like Zhao Gou's training Zhang Jun, and he is the most trusted general and has the best conditions.
The man hurriedly said, "Who dares! Who doesn't know that Sanniang is the most careful? Now that he has cheated on you, he will not cause trouble for us in the future!"
Xu Qing said: "Don't worry about the difference between them. Do Taiwei know how profitable the textile farms in Xiangyang are? There are now three spinning farms in Xiangyang City. In addition, there are five weaving farms and seven dyeing workshops. These workshops are not sure how much money they make in a year!"
Wang Xiaoli has not invented a hydraulic spinning machine. It has only improved the original spinning machine and is suitable for factory-based production. In addition, the shuttles used for weaving have expanded the scale of the weaving machine. The textile industry has rarely had the foundation of factory-based production.
As they were talking, the cold dishes came up. Several people stopped talking and started eating.
Xi Sanniang said, "It's good if you know it! Alas, I've been so busy that I'm always confused about my brain."
After moving south, Zhao Gou had no trusted generals whom Zhao Gou had ever trusted for a long time and were restrained everywhere. Even in the third year of Jianyan, the Miao and Liu Incident occurred. Zhao Gou's response was to cultivate generals such as Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, and gradually gained military power.
When Yue Fei heard them talking, he was not like a man in the wind and dust. He whispered to Xu Qing: "In your opinion, who are these people? Listening to them, they look like normal people. But how can normal women come out to drink at this time?"
After looking around, Yue Fei said: "Under Wang Xuanfu's rule, the market was prosperous and there were all kinds of products, which was far from comparable to other places. However, Wang Xuanfu's independence from the court was not a long-term solution."
With the factory-based textile industry, coupled with the stable and large-scale promotion of cotton varieties, Xiangyang's textile industry has developed rapidly in the past two years. After occupying Luoyang, most of the factories in Xiangyang opened branches in Luoyang to occupy new markets.
The man smiled and said, "Sanniang is the manager in the field. The spinning farm in Luoyang has been newly opened, so he is naturally very busy."
Yue Fei was Zhao Gou's confidant, and he was promoted by himself, so he was naturally not comparable to others. Wang Xiaolie was close to the court, neither openly breaking the court, and even said that he could allow court officials to serve under his own rule. On the other hand, officials who came under his rule must be retrained and then taken to work. More importantly, Wang Xiaolie has always maintained a firm control over the army. Not only personnel, but also logistics, he will never let the court intervene.
Yue Fei said: "This year, Wang Xuanfu's territory has been expanded to Shaanxi and southern Shanxi, and it should not be enough to rely on those workshops. So it is reasonable to set up a new site in Luoyang. However, although the site is good, the workers inside are very different from other people."
After Zhao Gou took control of the government, he had the strength to fight with the Jin army. It was Zhao Gou who controlled the power of the court that the peace talks between Song and Jin in Shaoxing were so stable. It should be said that the Southern Song Dynasty called Zhao Gou the leader of Zhongxing was exaggerated. However, Zhao Gou's ability to show in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty could not be underestimated.
After saying that, Yue Fei looked at the boundless darkness and thoughtful.
Since Wang Xiaolie started setting up a factory in Xiangyang, most of the money earned was used as capital to invest in expansion and reproduction. Now that we are about to see cash, we have to start a new round of investment in Luoyang. Until now, the industrial sector has only expanded its assets rapidly and cannot provide financial support for Wang Xiaolie.
Yue Fei nodded: "So that's it. - These workers are different from those of the past."
Xu Qing lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I remembered it! In recent days, I often hear people talk about what spinning farms, weaving farms, and dyeing workshops to open in Luoyang. These people think they are workers in the spinning farm!"
In the past few years of the rebellion between the two Song dynasties, we cannot only see Zhao Gou's continuous fleeing south and being chased by the Jin army. We must also see that Zhao Gou's process of cultivating generals and gradually gaining military power. In the southeast, Zhao Gou appreciated and promoted Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, and directly controlled half of the troops of the four generals. In the southwest, although Zhang Jun was defeated repeatedly, he gradually promoted Wu Lin, Wu Jie brothers, Liu Qi and others, and integrated the Sichuan army. The efforts of the two allowed Zhao Gou to truly control the government.
After saying that, he looked around. Sure enough, the guests here were different from other places. They spoke loudly and behaved a little rudely. No wonder they thought it was strange when they came in. These people should be workers in the factory.
What does this mean? It is very difficult for Yue Fei to deal with.
On the one hand, Wang Xiaoliu's rule was prosperous and stable, and the economy developed rapidly. On the other hand, the imperial court was in constant turmoil and heavy taxes. For the people of the Song Dynasty, of course, they hoped to live under Wang Xiaoliu's rule. In fact, in recent years, the population has also quickly concentrated in the Xiangyang area.
What should Yue Fei do? The people's voices must not be ignored, but the emperor's will cannot be violated. Now that the two sides are in peace, it does not mean that they will be peaceful in the future. There is a common enemy, the Jin army. Now the court and Wang Xiaolie have not broken up. Wait until there is no Jin army?
Yue Fei sighed deeply and shook his head.
When Xu Qing saw it, he just lowered his head to drink. He could probably guess why Yue Fei was sighing, but this was not the question he was considering. What should he do in the future? Thank God, Grand Marshal Yue was thinking about it, and he just pretended not to know.
