All Heavens and Great Mings: Create Myths from Chat Groups

Chapter 41

......

Over the next three months.

Zhu Houzhao's main job was to arrange for the geldings, craftsmen, and officials of the Ministry of Works to learn the knowledge he brought out of the emperor's chat group.

The progress is still very obvious.

The weaving bureau has been successfully established, and the efficiency of spinning has been more than tripled with the use of new spinning technology.

However, the matter of spinning is not as easy as Zhu Houzhao imagined.

Soon.

A new problem is in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Majesty, in the past half month, our Weaving Bureau has used the new textile method to spin a total of 53,325 horses of silk, but..."

"There is not enough silk."

Yang Tinghe reported a little depressed.

The emperor finally gave him an errand, and the result was smashed.

"Not enough silk?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned: "Is there a way to increase silk?" "

"Mulberry trees are usually planted between October and December, and the following March can be completed, and now it is only midsummer, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find more silk in a short period of time."

Yang Tinghe shook his head.

Mulberry trees do grow quickly, but they also have high climatic requirements during their growth.

It's not that you can't plant it now.

But even if it is planted now, it will not be used until next March.

"So..."

Zhu Houzhao groaned slightly.

Let's be honest.

When it came to choosing advanced spinning technology, he really didn't think about it.

But now that the technology is there.

The problem of resources is actually very easy to solve!

After all, now that Daming has Super Rice 5.0, even if it is changed to mulberry, it is not a big deal.

"You first take 50,000 horses of silk from the Weaving Bureau and enter the palace, and you will keep the rest."

Zhu Houzhao said slowly.

"Yes!"

Yang Tinghe nodded.

For the private property of the Weaving Bureau, the emperor naturally took it and used it as he pleased.

"The silk thing..."

"You don't have to worry about it."

Zhu Houzhao said: "The weaving bureau cannot be only in my Kyoto, and the thirteen provinces of Daming all need the weaving bureau." "

"I will send you to various provinces and divisions to prepare for the establishment of the weaving bureau, and then the weaving bureau will be the center to develop the textile industry, and don't just focus on silk in the future."

"Kudzu, hemp, cotton, wool, etc., these are all used, and the woven fabrics are sold to the people through the official archway, the process is saved, and the price can naturally be lower."

When it comes to this.

Yang Tinghe's eyes also lit up, and his face jumped.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the minister will definitely do his best!"

If it's something else.

For example, raising commercial taxes, opening the sea to ban the kind.

In order to save his reputation, he did not dare to do it.

But this kind of thing that can enhance his reputation, he is 10,000 willing!

Looking at Yang Tinghe, who was gradually eager.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything either.

These cabinets are all top-notch in their abilities, but they also have their own shortcomings.

But everyone is always a saint.

There are disadvantages.

It's easy to control.

"Zhang Qing."

"The minister is here."

Zhang Xuan stood up.

"How is the trade over there in the West?"

Zhu Houzhao asked.

Western trade, however, is entirely the responsibility of government and business.

What is directly related is the interests of the imperial court.

That is, his interests.

"Since March, the total trade volume has reached 6 million taels, and the main sales of silk, tea and porcelain account for 80% of it."

"The remaining two percent, all kinds of fabrics occupy one percent, and the remaining one percent are all kinds of medicinal herbs, jade, and so on."

"In addition to our government and business, the total amount of non-governmental free trade has also reached one million taels in the past three months."

Zhang Xuan reported one by one.

After a short pause, he continued.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, these merchants have made too many profits, and although the sea wokou has been suppressed by my Daming treasure ship, it is still a little wandering after all."

"Why don't we provide those merchants with protection at sea, and then collect their protection fees?"

“..........."

"No need, the tariffs are high enough."

"Get rid of those bonobos, but my Daming navy duty, how can I ask for benefits from the people?"

Listening to the front is ok.

Hearing the suggestion behind, Zhu Houzhao was a little speechless again.

You are Zhang Xuan.

It is definitely a feud with those merchants in the people, otherwise why do you think about how to exploit them every day.

Of course.

Zhu Houzhao also did not have much affection for businessmen.

However, the big businessmen have been forced to close by themselves.

The rest of those.

It's all little guys.

There are even some ordinary people who are bold enough.

For these.

The imperial court gave some profit, and in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, it was not a big deal.

"Next, in addition to trade, you need to buy some raw materials in large quantities."

Zhu Houzhao continued: "Those raw materials used to weave cloth, as well as iron, copper, tin and other ores! "

"And the tribute to my Daming, you also remind the princes and nobles of the Western countries, don't forget."

The raw materials for weaving cloth are naturally to solve the problem of insufficient silk.

And it's not just silk at the same time.

There are other weaving materials as well.

Zhu Houzhao has already made up his mind to knock down the domestic fabric price in Daming!

Now there is super rice.

If you wait for the raw materials of weaving to flood into Daming, coupled with advanced textile technology, it can definitely make the entire textile industry of Daming undergo earth-shaking changes.

In this way, the four biggest problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation of the Daming people have solved the two problems of clothing and food!

As for iron, copper, tin and other ores.

Naturally, for ironworks and steel foundries.

The ironworks are good to say.

There is a foundation, just advance on the original foundation.

Today, the speed of steel production in Daming has increased by more than five times compared with the past, and the speed of repairing weapons and firearms has also been greatly improved.

And the steel foundry, which is still being prepared.

Collecting more ore is also a plan for the rainy day.

As for making Western countries forget to worship....

Naturally, Zhu Houzhao also wanted to experience the feeling of the coming dynasty of all nations.

They all became Emperor Daming.

Why can't you be cool!?

"Obey the order!"

Zhang Xuan naturally undertook it.

After the discussion, the cabinet also resigned.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao still wanted to continue some entertainment activities.

But a small eunuch suddenly ran over.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager specially asked the slaves to remind you not to forget tonight's banquet."
