I really just want to lose my fortune

Today is the day when Gan Ning goes to sea again, and Qin Ge has arrived at the port early.

Gan Ning is now in military uniform, whether it is soldiers or ships, they are stronger than last time, not weaker.

The others didn't have much time, so Qin Ge took Cheng Yaojin to see Gan Ning off.

"Xingba, this farewell, I'm afraid we won't see each other for several months." Qin Ge said to Gan Ning.

"My lord, this time, I will definitely come back with more good things." Gan Ning clasped his fists and said.

"Jiaozhou's financial situation is not optimistic, and now we can only rely on Xingba." Qin Ge said with emotion.

"Hey, according to what my old Cheng said, we don't care about any boats, just worry about borrowing money from those merchants, and then pay them back when we have it." Cheng Yaojin said: "How much faster this way."

"Bite gold, absolutely not." Qin Ge said helplessly.

"My lord, don't worry." Gan Ning said with a smile, "I know how to measure."

"Brother Gan, next time we come back, we brothers will have a drink together. This time the banquet was a little rushed, and it will definitely be better and more beautiful next time." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

"Well, we have to say goodbye after sending you off for thousands of miles, so let's send you two here." Gan Ning said, turned around and boarded the boat, and said loudly: "Yang Fan, let's set sail!"

Seeing his treasure-hunting ship set off again, Qin Ge couldn't help but sigh, if the country is peaceful, how much benefit can he reap during the period of great voyage?

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Cheng Yaojin said to Qin Ge.

"Go and see a scientist first." Qin Ge said with a smile.

…………

Soon, Qin Ge brought Cheng Yaojin to the place that Qin Ge had found for Da Vinci temporarily.

Now Da Vinci's daily life is served by servants, and the place where he lives is guarded by heavy soldiers. Liu Bowen also found several carpenters and blacksmiths for him.

"It's not right, it's not right, it still can't make people weave much faster..."

I saw that there were several spinning machines in front of Da Vinci, some from China, some from other countries, all kinds, all made by Da Vinci himself.

Although Da Vinci was not very interested in this topic, he was interested in internal skills. Only when he got this done could he learn internal skills.

"My lord, is this scientist out of his mind? I think he seems a little bewildered." Cheng Yaojin whispered.

"He's trying to improve the spinning machine. As long as he succeeds, one person can do the work of several people." Qin Ge said.

"What about the extra people? They live on this." Cheng Yaojin asked a very sharp question.

The appearance of the spinning jenny caused panic among the large number of hand spinners at the time, who rushed into the inventor's house and destroyed the machine.

Obviously, Cheng Yaojin is an ordinary person, and his thoughts are very simple, like a field only needs one person to cultivate, but now that person can cultivate eight fields by himself, which will cause seven people to lose their jobs.

Qin Ge blinked, and said to Cheng Yaojin, "There will be new positions."

Industrialization will definitely be painful for a period of time, and as long as the current Daqin liberates part of the productive forces, these people will be forced to other industries.

As for Qin Ge, as long as there is a factory here, it can provide some jobs.

The real heavy industry must be controlled by the state. Qin Ge is planning to let the state-owned enterprises appear in advance.

If the shipping industry develops, the population vacated by textiles will be able to feed them.

Before Qin Ge went to investigate the port, he also had part of this idea, to see how many jobs are still available in Jiaozhou, and also to see what else is needed for the location of the port.

"That's it, as long as the lord knows what's in his heart." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

"How is it? Have you encountered any problems?" Qin Ge said to Da Vinci, "If you need help, just tell me."

"Well, no matter how you do it, this spinning machine can only barely save effort, if it's faster..." Da Vinci shook the spinning machine: "I can't think of that."

"What is this?" Cheng Yaojin pointed to a spindle and said.

"This is called a spindle. When you shake this, the spinning machine will run." Da Vinci said.

"Then why don't you just get a few more spindles?" Cheng Yaojin asked doubtfully.

"Bite gold, how could it be so simple?" Qin Ge said dumbfounded.

"Get a few more..." Da Vinci's mind flashed: "Wait, now I can't get a few more, so how about turning this spindle upside down? Maybe it can be done! You are the greatest I have ever seen in Daqin scholars!"

Da Vinci jumped up excitedly, grabbed Cheng Yaojin's shoulder and said.

Cheng Yaojin was panicked by the old man.

What the hell?How did I become a scholar?

"It's really that simple?" Qin Ge asked.

"Your lord will know when I build it. Prepare a suitable teacher for me to learn internal strength." Da Vinci shouted: "Come two carpenters, I'll draw the blueprints, and you start the work!"

Those carpenters were listless at first, but now that Qin Ge was inspecting them, they all ran faster than rabbits, Da Vinci came over as soon as he finished shouting.

Da Vinci picked up the pen and started drawing directly on the drawing paper.

Qin Ge and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other, Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said with a smile: "My old Cheng is really a scholar? Could it be that we have talents that we don't know about?"

"How did you think of it?" Qin Ge said.

"Just treat those spinning spindles as human beings. If one person can't do the work, then go to a few more." Cheng Yaojin said.

Qin Ge couldn't laugh or cry.

Science, sometimes it's really amazing, a problem that a great inventor couldn't figure out, was explained by Cheng Yaojin's simplest thinking.

Of course, Da Vinci had to be able to make it. If it was replaced by those carpenters who only knew how to follow the scriptures, they would not be able to do it. Instead, they felt that Cheng Yaojin disrespected the craftsmanship of their ancestors.

"My lord, if this thing comes out, my old Cheng will also have a share of the credit!" Cheng Yaojin said excitedly.

"Okay, when the time comes, let those unemployed come to you and let you arrange jobs for them." Qin Ge laughed.

"My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge!" Cheng Yaojin said dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, your benefits are indispensable." Qin Ge became even more excited.

As long as the spinning machine is improved, Da Vinci's entry into the shipyard is a sure thing!

Chapter 355 Letter from Jizhou

Qin Ge didn't bring Cheng Yaojin to continue disturbing Da Vinci, but returned to the temporary palace.

"My lord, a new batch of letters has arrived, please take a look at them." The housekeeper said to Qin Ge when he saw that Qin Ge had returned.

"it is good."

Qin Ge returned to the room and looked at the information and letters.

To Qin Ge's surprise, the letters this time were not only the usual ones, but also two more secret letters.

Qin Ge roasted it with a fire, and saw that the two letters were written by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Juzheng, which made Qin Ge fall in love immediately.

Qin Ge was always worried about the people outside, for fear that they would suffer a disadvantage.

Especially Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Jiao, they are not in other places, but in Jizhou, where Yuan Shao and Yan Wang have already divided up, so Zhang Juzheng's status as the governor of Jizhou is very embarrassing.

There are messy things to be dealt with, and there is no power at all. It is already good that King Yan didn't kill Zhang Juzheng.

Qin Ge opened the letter and read it.

It probably means that Zhang Juzheng intends to bring Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin to Jiaozhou together.

It is not an easy thing for the governor to change places.

Like Zhang Juzheng, if he wanted to leave there, he could only pretend to die or return home by claiming to be sick. I believe that if Zhang Juzheng wanted to leave, King Yan would not stop him, nor would Yuan Shao, and he would even be happy to do so.

If Zhang Juzheng came over, it would be of great help to Qin Ge. This is definitely a rare talent, and it's political.

When he arrived in Jiaozhou, he could relieve Liu Bowen a lot of burden.

Looking at Zhang Jiao's letter again, Zhang Jiao said in the letter that King Yan and Yuan Shao had already started conscription on the spot. Before Taiping Road, because of Qin Ge's disaster relief, they went underground, and asked Qin Ge if he needed anything.

Presumably, Zhang Jiao also knew that Qin Ge begged for the second rain, and felt that Qin Ge was destined for him.

In fact, the current Zhang Jiao still has the ability to rebel. Before Qin Ge just finished praying for rain, Zhang Jiao at that time could not make those people who had enough to eat rebel, but now it is different. Development is also wantonly plundering, and the people suffer unspeakably.

Qin Ge thought about it, didn't know how to make a decision, so he quickly called Liu Bowen over.

"My lord, my subordinates are still dealing with matters. The old hero Mu Yumu and Mr. Cai Yongcai are here together, and they will enter the country by sea," Liu Bowen said.

"Is the land route no longer available?" Qin Ge immediately realized.

"Well, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou are all messed up, and it would be impossible to come here. When Mr. Cai Jingcai transferred people here, he took a lot of official paths, and he suffered a lot. If there is no Guo Ziyi I’m afraid they won’t be able to make it through.” Liu Bowen nodded: “As a last resort, Old Hero Mu and Mr. Cai’s people can only go to Xuzhou by water. It’s still hard to get in touch, and it will take about seven days to arrive. , the sect is trying to find a way to arrange for ships and other support, and also to ensure that they will not be hurt by the rioters in Yangzhou."

"Thank you Bowen." Qin Ge said.

"My lord asked the door to come down, wouldn't it be the inventor's business?" Liu Bowen tentatively asked.

"Ahem, no, we'll talk about that later." Qin Ge said, "It's about Zhang Jiao and Zhang Juzheng."

"Oh?"

Liu Bowen was taken aback immediately, and quickly read the letter with Qin Ge.

After reading it, Liu Bowen pondered for a while, and said calmly: "Why don't you let General An lead someone to rescue Master Zhang."

"No need? They have people, so they can leave quietly." Qin Ge said.

"Master Zhang is guarded by Yuan Shao's soldiers, right?" Liu Bowen said.

"Yes."

"Then it doesn't seem very good to let Mr. Zhang leave directly." Liu Bowen sneered: "This Yuan Shao, on the surface, respects the imperial court's will, but in fact he has already violated the will of the court. He was still able to make a deal with Wei Wangxu before, so let's start now." Now that we are recuperating, we have to fight against the rebels in Yangzhou and take precautions against Jingzhou. King Wei is also in a state of distress because of the counter-rebellion, while King Qi has gone to Xiliang."

"This Yuan Shao wants to play with the mantis and catch cicadas. If he keeps cultivating like this, he will definitely be in trouble after the autumn harvest."

"So..." Qin Ge became angrier as he listened.

We are all busy, we are all playing, you Yuan Shaoan is safe and sound, what the hell are you doing is not human affairs!

"You have to trick this Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu ​​is dissatisfied with the fact that the King of Chu, King Wei and the princes can independently tax their taxes, and wants to kill the governor to rebel and support himself!" Liu Bowen said decisively: "The governor escaped by chance, and his whereabouts are unknown. "

"Blade Yuan Shao as a rebel, break his righteousness, and make him a traitor?" Qin Ge frowned and said, "Is this Yuan Shao directly following the imperial court? If Jizhou obeys the imperial court's order, then But trouble, the Yuan family is still a top family."

"If he is ambitious, he won't." Liu Bowen stretched his waist: "This is just a trick for him, and it must be resolved with Yuan Benchu's ability. Take Mr. Zhang out, and then cause Yuan Benchu ​​some trouble, why not Why not?"

"Ha, Bowen has learned badly." Qin Ge said with a smile.

"It's good to be able to cheat a little more, don't care which faction he fights with, it's all money." Liu Bowen said: "As for Zhang Jiao...is he willing to listen to the prince?"

"It's not clear, this person and I are more of a cooperative relationship." Qin Ge said.

"Look at what he means, he wants to lean towards the prince, but there is no need to rebel. Now that there are so many rebel forces, the court is overwhelmed. It is not a good thing to let King Yan enter Chang'an." Liu Bowen said: "Zhang Jiao's way of peace is There are a large number of grassroots talents, and there are so many people, it is difficult to come here."

"In this case, Bingzhou is connected to Jizhou. If Zhang Jiao takes people to Bingzhou, it looks like they are at war with the Tatars. In fact, safety can still be guaranteed."

"Moreover, a large number of people were lost last time in the merged state, and they urgently need to be replenished."

"For some places to be rich, it still depends on the people. Some people become rich, and so many people leave at once, it must be enough for King Yan and Yuan Shao to drink a pot."

What Liu Bowen wanted was not a court that was beaten in, but a court that could no longer exert its strength and was always dragged down.

"Will they stop the people from leaving?" This is what Qin Ge was afraid of. The combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army in history was relatively...subtle.

Their biggest role is to enable those state shepherds to have the ability to compete for world hegemony, which is equivalent to making wedding dresses for others.

"It depends on Zhang Jiao's ability." Liu Bowen said: "How much can he stop the mass migration of people? Even if we can go part of it, then we can still make money."

"Okay, as Iberwin said."

Chapter 356 The New Minister of Industry

Early the next morning, Qin Ge brought Huang Chang to Da Vinci's residence immediately.

I saw that Da Vinci was covered with a quilt, sleeping soundly in front of a brand new spinning machine. In one night, a total of six spinning machines were built.

"This spinning machine is so weird." Looking at the spinning machines in front of him, Huang Chang couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"Come on!"

Qin Ge said with a dark face.

I saw a servant came to Qin Ge's side and said to Qin Ge, "My lord."

"What's going on here?" Qin Ge pointed at Da Vinci and said, "How do you let the guest sleep outside?"

"My lord, we don't want to either. After the first machine was built last night, he yelled excitedly, saying that he changed the world, and then he said nothing. Internal strength." The servant said helplessly.

Only then did Qin Ge's expression soften.
