All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao held up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Liancheng's landform is similar to Quanzhou, and it is also said that eight mountains, one water and one land are divided into eight mountains, one water and one land. Most of the mountain forests are natural tussah forests, so Liancheng has a tradition of raising tussah silkworms since ancient times. Many silkworm farmers make a living by raising tussah silkworms.”

finally come! After being surrounded by Shaoyi County Lord for a long time, Master Li, who was exhausted, had a sense of relief that the dust had settled and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

What Shaoyi County Master said, just listen.

He is a small seventh-rank county magistrate, and under the eyes of King Wu Mu, can he still play the dignified princess?

If the county owner of Shaoyi is for personal gain, he can still deal with one or two.

But the man of Shaoyi County, Gao Fengliangjie, is for the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city. If he is ignorant, will he have to wait, and the refugees will rush into the city to fight him?

Knowing the current affairs is Junjie!

After thinking about this, Master Li relaxed a little: "Liancheng silkworm farming started in the Han Dynasty. Every household has planted tussah trees, and they have raised tussah silkworms to supplement the family, but..."

He didn't say anything later, but Yu Youyao knew it well: "I heard before that King Wu Mu sought out people who were proficient in silkworm raising and taught the refugees the technique of raising silkworms. I think this method is very good, but just seeing that the spring silkworms are about to be raised, I have learned the technique of raising silkworms, and I should come up with a charter on how to raise silkworms.”

Mr. Li actively spoke up: "According to the opinion of the county master?"

Yu Youyao smiled and said, "Nanzhao County, Henan Province is known as the hometown of tussah silkworms, but in fact, Liao Province has more advantages in sericulture than Henan. Among them, Dandong is the most important, followed by Liancheng, but whether it is Dandong or Liancheng's sericulture scale, the amount of silk The output is not as good as Nanzhao County.”

How could Mr. Li not know that the local gentry were in sympathy, controlling the tussah silkworm business, oppressing retail investors, exploiting silkworm farmers, and hindering the development of the sericulture industry.

Yu Youyao skipped over this and said, "Liancheng is close to the extreme northern seas, and its population is far inferior to those located in the hinterland of the Central Plains such as Henan and Shandong. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is vast and sparsely populated, and the gap in human resources is also The root cause of the low silk production."

Not only Liancheng, the entire Liao Province, and even the three northeastern provinces are vast and sparsely populated.

Fewer people means lower productivity.

If productivity is low, agriculture and industry cannot develop.

The northern border wants to develop, and the population is the most important. This is part of the reason why Yin Huaixi spares no effort to accommodate refugees from all over the world.

Lord Li bowed his head, the Shaoyi County Master knew the entire city of Liancheng, and even the three northeastern provinces, so in front of her, he always had a sense of indifference. When he arrived in front of Shaoyi County Master, he didn't dare to say a word.

Yu Youyao chuckled: "King Wu Mu also has his own considerations for accepting refugees. Liancheng has the natural advantage of raising silkworms. The settlement of refugees will cause some trouble for the government, but it is also an opportunity for Liancheng to develop. As long as we follow Nanzhao County and develop Population, to expand the scale of silkworm breeding, the tussah silkworm can be eaten in spring and autumn, and the silkworm chrysalis can be eaten, and the residue can be fed to fish, livestock, and poultry, and the city can be stabilized within a year at most."

The tussah silkworm is actually a silk-spinning insect that eats a lot. Unlike the silkworm, it can be raised at home.

Most of them are stocked on oak trees, so a lot of manpower is required.

The advantage of Liancheng sericulture is large enough to accommodate 300,000 refugees, which is still a conservative estimate.

The owner of Shaoyi County is not red mouth and white teeth, but has proposed a solution to the livelihood of refugees, and put all the benefits of accepting refugees in front of him. If he does not accept it, he is a fool.

only!

Mr. Li was a little embarrassed: "The county master is holy and wholeheartedly dedicated to the people, and the lower officials admire it very much, but it's just the four major families..."

Expanding the scale of sericulture would not only violate the interests of the four major families, but also the interests of the whole line behind the four major families.

Yu Youyao understood: "Liancheng's sericulture industry is controlled by everyone, and the silk produced by the four masters has priority over the purchase of military supplies. Over the years, it has been a lot of hard work to expand the scale of sericulture and solve the livelihood of the displaced people. I can't let the four masters anymore. Contribution, Master Li is busy with resettlement of refugees, and he is also incapable of doing things, so he does not make Master Li embarrassed."

Master Li's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.

really!

Yu Youyao's words changed: "Why don't we do this, I also have two villages that raise silkworms in Liancheng, so I will take the lead and join the local retail investors to form a certain scale of sericulture, and exchange the experience and technology of sericulture with each other. Communication, there must be income, sericulture technology can also grow, the output of silk can also be increased, the scale of sericulture can also be expanded, and sericulture requires a lot of manpower. Trees raise silkworms to live."

"This, this, you, the county master..." Master Li's legs were weak, and the gathering of retail investors was enough to impact the entire tussah business in Liancheng.

Even if this matter does not require him to come forward, as Liancheng's parental official, he will also be affected.

Yu Youyao waited for a while, and before he could say anything, he continued: "The silk of the retail investors will not be sold and sold without the effort of the four others. I am familiar with King Wu Mu, so I directly trade it to You Jun, You Jun. With the privilege of being free from salt tribute, you can buy some military supplies by yourself, and the silk produced by retail investors can still eat and live."

Mr. Li was sweaty and heavy, and he not only had to fight against the Four Great Families, but also cut off the Four Great Families' money.

You must know that the imperial court has a quota for purchasing military supplies.

King Wu Mu took the orders from the retail investors. It is conceivable that the purchases of the imperial court will be relatively reduced, and the transactions between the four major families and the imperial court will also decrease accordingly.

The four can no longer exploit retail investors, buy low and sell high to make huge profits.

A large amount of silk produced by oneself must be held in hand. Even if a channel is found, a large number of silk will flow into the market, and the price of silkworms will inevitably fall.

The loss is huge, one can imagine.

The people behind the four great families, even if their hands and eyes are sky-high, can they toss to the head of the feudal lord who is holding a heavy army? Do you think there are too many heads to be chopped off, or are you afraid that the heads are not falling fast enough?

Some people in the DPRK and China have less benefit, so they will be dissatisfied, and they will be angry with the Four Great Masters.

It is simply a loss of his wife and a soldier.

Yu Youyao chuckled lightly: "My move is also to give the refugees a livelihood, but King Wu Mu ate the list of retail investors, and the four families will inevitably suffer losses. I have a merchant ship under my name, and the foreign family's Xie residence has moved to the north. , I also do silk business, and then I will come forward to buy the silk of the four major families, so that they can avoid losses."

Master Li is speechless, this is to use his own way, and to treat his own body.
