Chapter 785: Induce it for profit (1) (Page 1/1)

An hour later, Zhang Yue brought Gongsun Yi to the greenhouse hall.

The person on duty today is Guo Rang, who has not seen for a long time.

Since Guo Rang was promoted to Huangmen, he has been satisfied and has lost his enterprising spirit.

For the eunuch, he was almost at the top.

At least it has reached its peak in social status.

As usual, when the eunuch was appointed as the minister of the Huangmen, he had the power to adopt Kun Zhong's nephew or nephew as his heirs, and he also had the qualification to build a mansion outside the palace.

Therefore, these days, Guo Rang has been busy selecting descendants and building a mansion.

The attention to things in the palace has obviously decreased.

This is human nature.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and there is no descendant.

If there is a future, any eunuch will be able to cultivate and support it at all costs.

When Guo Rang saw Zhang Yue, he was obviously very happy and almost immediately greeted him: "Do you want to meet the saint?"

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "I am sorry, Mr. Guo's biography..."

When Guo Rang heard this, he laughed even happier and said, "Shi Jung-in, I will go and pass on the news first!"

Soon after, Guo Rang came out happily and said, "Shi Jung-in, Your Majesty is here to invite..."

Zhang Yue then took Gongsun Yi with him and walked into the greenhouse hall.

Today happened to be the New Year and the Emperor had just finished a court meeting with the court officials, soaking his feet happily on the collapse.

Seeing Zhang Yue bringing people in, the emperor was immediately happy because he knew that he would be able to have a good time again today.

However, Zhang Yue respectfully said: "I respectfully ask the Holy One!"

Gongsun Yize, who was following him, immediately pounced and bowed to the emperor, and seized the opportunity to scan his face: "I am guarding the young mansion, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty the Holy Majesty!"

The emperor saw Gongsun Yi at this time, and hurriedly sat up and said, "You are exempt from the gift!"

This is not because he respects Gongsun Yi very much, but because this is the tradition of the kings of Xia.

The Nine Lords and Two Thousand Stones must be respected.

Otherwise, if it is reported to people, it will be discussed.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Yue stood up and said, "I am here to report good news to Your Majesty..."

"Why are you happy?" The emperor was happy when he heard this and asked with a smile.

"Good fortune!" Zhang Yue replied respectfully.

"Qixie!?" The emperor couldn't sit still anymore, and he couldn't help but adjust his sitting posture.

If you ask him what his biggest experience has been emperor for forty-seven years?

There is no doubt that it is Wuzhu coins!

Money is really a good thing!

Whether it is cultivating immortals and asking the way, or governing the country and ensuring the people, they will go on a journey of thousands of miles.

All of them are inseparable from money!

If you don’t have money, everything will be over!

And if you have money...

It was smooth sailing!

Unfortunately, since Yuanding, although the country's income has repeatedly hit new highs.

But expenses and expenses are also rising.

Not to mention the other side, the annual military pay and rewards from Li Guangli's Corps have already given him a headache.

Once there is a big war, the money will flow out like a flood.

The Han treasury today is so tight that it cannot afford a battle in the Tianshan Mountains.

Otherwise, why did he have to be slandered with the Huns? Why did he let Ren Lizheng take charge of the matter of the Han and Huns seizing the envoys?

Li Guangli's army had long been allowed to go out of the frontier, and took advantage of the internal strife of the Huns to break through Junji Mountain and defeat Yu Wushui.

Not a poor person yet?

Therefore, he is eager to make money.

Zhang Yue looked at the emperor's expression and lowered his head and said, "That's right!"

"Where does this joy of wealth come from?" the emperor couldn't help asking.

"Come on the brown cloth and the braised cloth!" Zhang Yue replied.

"Brown cloth? Cloth?!" The emperor frowned as he heard this.

Of course he knew, what were the so-called brown cloth and squid cloth?

It was the cloth brought back from the Western Regions by Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, and woven from livestock hair such as wool, horse hair, camel hair, etc.

It was once popular for a while, but it soon became useless.

Today, only the border residents in the four counties of Hexi and the bitter and cold areas of the border are willing to wear this kind of textile.

In the inland, no one except prisoners and slaves would want to wear it.

The cloth is a little better, there may be roaming the streets and merchants who wander around, but the brown cloth has basically disappeared from the mainland of the Han family.

Because of these two kinds of wool textiles, there are various unacceptable disadvantages.

The first thing is that the odor is extremely strong. After wearing it for a long time, the fishy smell may not be removed even if you take a bath.

This alone allowed the scholars, officials and nobles to stay away from them.

Not to mention, these wool textiles are very likely to breed all kinds of insects, such as lice, flea, and bed bugs. If you don’t pay attention, you will grow everywhere, and the bite will be covered with bags.

It causes serious hidden dangers to people's health.

Finally, this is the comfort is too poor.

In addition to keeping cold in winter, these two textiles have extremely poor experience!

Just like the emperor, he once sent hundreds of sets to the people of Shanglinyuan, but no one wore them in just half a month.

The people have reported that these "hubu" are very popular when worn on them, and they are not as good as wearing traditional Chinese velvets.

That is, Wuheng, Huiqu, Hunxie, Xiutu and Yuezhi, the vassal states like these things.

Moreover, the frontier soldiers and civilians also rely on them to resist the severe cold.

otherwise……

Shaofu probably won't produce them anymore.

Just listened to Zhang Yue and said, "That's right!"

"Your Majesty, I have found a way to improve the craftsmanship of brown cloth and matte cloth, so that it can be clean, tidy and comfortable..."

The emperor suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this.

Brown cloth and squid cloth, if it can be clean, comfortable and without odor...

Of course he knew how huge the benefit was!

Not to mention the other person, the Han Shaofu and Taipu Yamen will have more wealth from now on.

Moreover, unlike other sources of wealth, we have to snatch money from the people.

In the Thirty-sixth Garden of Taipu, there are countless animal furs produced every year.

In previous years, these resources were all used as free supplies to the frontier military and civilians, and they were even picked.

But if... Zhang Yue can really improve the process, even if it is just to achieve the condition of cleanliness, these past waste products will soon turn waste into treasure and become gold!

because……

In the Han Dynasty, cloth was the third currency besides gold and Wuzhu coins.

The state even regards cloth as money and allows the people to pay taxes and trade with cloth.

In other words, the textile industry is the financial industry in the Han Dynasty.

Like later banks, the woven fabric can be used directly as money.

Moreover, it has the benefits of not depreciating, not inflation, and everyone recognizes and accepts.

Therefore, the emperor was a little unbelievable and said, "It's true?"

"Really!" Zhang Yue stepped forward and said, "If your Majesty allows me, please borrow the East Weaving Room of the Young Mansion..."

"Dongyi Room?" The emperor became suspicious: "Is the Xijie Room not OK?"

"Report to Your Majesty..." Gongsun Yi seized the opportunity and hurriedly reported: "Now, Dudong weaving room can weave brown cloth and yarn cloth..."

In fact, if it weren't for the brown cloth and squid cloth, there would be almost no oil and water, and Dongzhi Room would have even been deprived of this power!

"That's how..." A glimmer of light flashed in the emperor's eyes and he said to Gongsun: "Shao Mansion, from the East Weaving Room, we will draw skilled craftsmen to the West Weaving Room, and follow the orders of the Secretariat Zhang Zizhong!"

"No!" Gongsun Yichang received the order.
