Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

When he came to Jinxiu Clothing Store, Du Shaoqing's eyes were dazzled when he saw a small wooden machine skillfully peeling the cotton seeds in the hands of Mrs. Shanggong.

This is also amazing, the craftsmen in the palace claimed that it would take more than a year's work, but in the hands of this old man, it took a few days to get it down?

"Great, with such a sharp weapon, when white cloth spreads all over the Tang Dynasty in the future, the mother-in-law Shanggong will take the lead." Du Shaoqing said excitedly.

And Wu Zhao, who followed, looked around at the furnishings in the mother-in-law's house, which were almost all textile products, and there were many textile products.

When Wu Zhao saw that there was a small white round handkerchief, he was stunned. Is this actually made of white hair?

Hearing that Du Shaoqing wanted to hire him as the chief weaver, the old woman was originally reluctant, after all, she was too old to go out and find a job.

However, Du Shaoqing and Du Shaoqing's kindness was difficult to refrain from, affirming that they don't need to be busy with other things, and just go and give advice to the younger generation when they have free time, so the old woman reluctantly agreed, and said that it was for the sake of Xiao Xuanxuan.

Du Shaoqing and Wu Zhao looked at each other and smiled wryly at the same time. After arguing for a long time, they still didn't have as much face as their daughter.

On the way back, Wu Zhao had a whim and asked Du Shaoqing: "I saw that the old woman had a handkerchief made of her own hair in her room, and her weaving skills are so superb that even hair can weave cloth.

I don't know if animal hair is okay, but if short wool and cow hair are fine, it's really amazing. I must choose a group of elite weaver girls to learn from this mother-in-law. "

"Wait, what did you just say?" Du Shaoqing's figure shook, as if a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind again, but he didn't catch it.

Chapter 375 Xuanxuan who needs to ask for leave (three in one chapter plus more)

Wu Zhao didn't understand, so he opened his mouth and replied: "I said that I want to find a group of people to learn the craft from the old lady, and don't let it get lost."

"Last sentence!" Du Shaoqing asked anxiously.

"Last sentence? Let me think about it, oh, I remembered, I mean, I don't know how skilled the old lady is, whether she can weave wool and cow hair into cloth."

"Yes, this is the sentence, wool, weaving, yes, this is the sentence"

Du Shaoqing was a little incoherent with excitement, stepped forward and hugged Wu Zhao, "Hahahaha, Xiao Zhaoer, you have made great achievements, you are really my lucky star."

The sudden attack caught Wu Zhao off guard, blushing, looked around, then pushed the opponent away forcefully, covered his face and scolded: "What are you doing, bad guy? This is on the street, do you still want to see someone? Know to bully me."

Du Shaoqing felt as if he had been hit by a golden mountain, so he didn't care about it, he hugged Wu Zhao again and turned around a few times, then he directly dragged Wu Zhao to the medical center from Dongshi.

Along the way, passers-by frequently looked sideways, and many people who knew Du Shaoqing's eyes were wide open. Du's son-in-law is too frivolous, right? There is a princess at home, so why not take the little daughter-in-law to cuddle on the street?

Maybe it was extreme joy that gave rise to sorrow, so Du Shaoqing rushed into the hospital holding his little daughter-in-law's hand without hesitation, and stood on the spot as if being shocked by an electric shock as soon as he entered the door.

Wu Zhao shook off the opponent's hand vigorously, so ashamed that he had no place to hide, Du Shaoqing felt a little thirsty, should he say something at this time?

"Ahem, ma'am, didn't you say to rest at home? It's so early?"

Li Lizhi suppressed the complaint in her heart, rolled her husband's eyes, and slowly stepped forward to hold the shy Wu Zhao, "If you have nothing to do, come to the medical clinic to see and help. Fortunately, the concubine is here. Look at you, rude What does it look like? It made little sister Xiao Wu's hands turn red."

"Sister, I'm fine. I just followed him to discuss business. I'm going back to Yongpingfang soon." Wu Zhao wanted to leave.

Du Shaoqing slapped his head and thought about the wool again. He dragged the two wives to the back hall of the medical center. The people in the hall were puzzled. Xie Laodao stroked his beard and smiled, "It's good to be young."

Oh, in a word, everyone suddenly realized.

Du Shaoqing didn't know that he was cheated by the honest Xie Laodao just like that.

Speaking of wool weaving, Du Shaoqing thought of a word wool sweater, and then thought of a series of wool products, that is to say, wool can be weaved to make clothes, and its uses are very popular and convenient.

He even vaguely remembered when he was studying world history in middle school, there were incidents such as sheep cannibalism and land enclosure. Du Shaoqing couldn't remember the specifics, because he didn't like to study history after all.

But these did not prevent him from judging the huge benefits of the entire wool industry, which can spread throughout the northern grasslands.

"Xiao Zhao'er came up with this thing, and if it is used well, it can more than double the entire national power. If it is reported to the court, I think it will not be a problem to earn you a title.

That is to say, if you are a woman, if you are a man, I am afraid that it will not be enough for a household secretary. "Du Shaoqing praised Wu Zhao.

Princess Changle scolded with a smile: "Husband, you are acting good when you get cheap. If Sister Xiaowu is a man, how can you hug a beauty back? It's cheap for you."

Wu Zhao curled his lips: "What's the matter with women? Why can't women be officials? Let me be the Minister of the Household Department, and it must be better than a bunch of old men in the court."

Hearing that Du Shaoqing's foot slipped, the empress of Xindao is the empress, even though she was young and changed a lot by herself, her unyielding heart remained unchanged.

Princess Changle smiled and persuaded: "Who doesn't know my sister's ability and talent? But let a group of rough men do the laborious work of showing up in public, how can our daughter's family deserve to work hard?"

Especially my younger sister, I can see that I still feel pity for Didi's daughter's family, who would be willing to tire you. "

"What my sister said is true, but right now my little sister is being driven by some unconscionable servant girl, so I don't feel distressed at all."

Du Shaoqing saw that it was not good, and quickly apologized: "Where is it? The two ladies have worked hard, and the matter of wool must be kept secret. I have to leave beforehand for my husband, so as not to delay your sisters' chat."

Seeing the other party fleeing in embarrassment, the two beautiful women in the room looked at each other and couldn't help but pursed their lips and laughed.

Regarding the wool industry, Du Shaoqing does not plan to develop it with great fanfare for the time being. After all, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce has just started, and the stalls are too large and easy to overturn.

So he just took a small cotton gin and found a group of craftsmen in the palace to build it according to the same, but it would be ten times bigger. At that time, animal power could be used instead of manpower and it would be produced in an assembly line. In the future, cotton will be planted in Gaochang. It can be directly processed locally.

The Li family in Longxi had already sent someone to transport away the [-] scheduled textbooks. Du Shaoqing remembered the fact that his enemy had stolen his secrets. Although he didn't really care about it, he saw that the Wang family in Taiyuan used the stolen means to make money. , Du Shaoqing was a little annoyed.

Frowning, Du Shaoqing came to Du's bookstore and decided to set the price of the new paper at half of the original paper and sell it at a low price.

The shopkeeper of the book store almost thought that the owner was crazy, but Du Shaoqing naturally couldn't tell him that the real cost was very low, and he was still making a lot of money.

The purpose of doing this is to squeeze the Taiyuan Wang family. They sell [-]% to other families. Now if Chang'an has paper that is half the price, what will happen to the Taiyuan Wang family?

At the same time, Du Shaoqing plans to expand the production of paper-making workshops. It is not enough to just set up a small workshop in Chang'an. The best option is to build a new paper-making factory in Shuzhong. discuss.

The emperor wished that Du Shaoqing would expand production, so that he could print a lot of books and spread them all over the world.

So immediately issued a secret decree to Shuzhong, and the person who used it was Shi Liulan, the head of the palace of Shu Wang Li Yin. This person was loyal and reliable, so he chose a site to build a factory in Li Yin's name. In the future, when Li Yin took office in Shuzhong, he could Looked after personally.

When meeting Du Shaoqing, Emperor Li Er talked about the attack on Gaochang. The army had already set off, but often a war would wipe out the court's accumulation for several years, so the money spent this time was painful.

The implication is to ask this wealthy son-in-law if he can contribute some money for military expenses. After all, it takes two years to take down Gaochang before he can see the benefits.

Du Shaoqing rolled his eyes and made a suggestion, "The reason why the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Gaochang was originally to rescue the detained merchants and rescue the people of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court is duty-bound.

But we and other merchants can’t be ignorant of gratitude, so in order to thank the imperial court, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is willing to donate [-] guan to subsidize military expenses. "

Li Er said in displeasure: "You are such an iron rooster, how can 20 guan be enough for an army of [-]? To fight a battle, you will need at least [-] guan for military expenses, and this is not counted as a post-war pension."

"Father-in-law, don't worry. After listening to me, it's not my business traveler who was detained. Gaochang has detained many families, and many of them are subordinates of famous families. Don't they follow suit?"

Li Er looked stunned, and then laughed and cursed: "You are just a bad boy!"

On the second day, a news spread quietly in the city of Chang'an, saying that Concubine Du invited the great merchants of Chang'an to meet at Qujiang Pond three days later, to discuss important business opportunities with everyone, and at the same time invited the people of Chang'an to watch the ceremony .

The people of Chang'an, who lacked entertainment activities, were very interested in these gatherings. Before the event started three days later, many people inquired about Qujiang Pond over and over again, and even some small vendors had already started to seize the stalls.

In a business of the Zheng family in Xingyang, an invitation was received this day, which was sent by Du Shaoqing in his own name, inviting the other party's big shopkeeper to have a meeting in Qujiangchi.
