Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Just when Zhao Yun and Xiao Meier were harmoniously moving from theory to practice, Xiao Yi's family of three came to Jinguanfang, ten miles northwest of Chengdu, under the cover of night!
The textile industry in Shu is developed, with workshops of all sizes everywhere. The Shu brocade produced is sold all over the country, which brings in a lot of money. It is also the most important fiscal revenue for the government, and there is no one!
During the reign of Liu Yan and his son, the "Jin Guanfang" was specially set up to manage the production, transportation and sales of Shu brocade. The densely packed workshops around the yamen attracted countless merchants. Over time, a prosperous commercial area was formed, with restaurants, shops, Inns and brothels are everywhere, and because it is far away from the main city, it is lucky to have escaped the ravages of war!
When the ¡®Trichogramma¡¯ penetrated Bashu, they took a fancy to this commercial area, which had the advantages of high flow of people and good information, so they set up an important stronghold to command people from all over the place. Now it has become the place where Xiao Yi and his party have settled!
"Click! -Click!"
"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of fire! ¡ª¡ªThe sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of fire!"
"The King of Hanzhong has an order: Anyone who deliberately sets a fire will have his whole family executed; anyone who accidentally causes a fire will be sent to the army and sent to the army. Every household should be careful and send people to guard the stoves, candles, and lanterns!"
¡¡
In the middle of the night, Jinguanfang is still brightly lit and the sound of weaving is continuous. There are people walking around everywhere, including pot-bellied businessmen, coolies in short shirts, and even more ragged refugees, begging for food and rummaging through food. Trash, living like a wild dog.
During this period, some patrolling soldiers shuttled back and forth. In addition to swords, guns, swords and halberds, they also carried fire-fighting tools such as buckets, water bags, axes and saws. Textile workshops were most afraid of fires. The previous Chengdu fire made people even more afraid, and they regarded fire prevention as As the top priority!
During the war, the most money was spent, and Bashu suffered successive disasters. Every place was dilapidated, the people fled one after another, and taxes could not be collected at all. They all relied on selling Shu brocade to maintain their poor finances!
Therefore, after Liu Bei came to power, he paid more attention to the textile industry. He appointed Mi Zhu and Mi Fang as chief and deputy brocade officials, and tried every means to expand production. He then sold Shu brocade to Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and various parts of the Central Plains in exchange for much-needed pig iron, cowhide, and horses. Waiting for strategic supplies!
The influx of a large number of refugees has provided sufficient labor for the textile industry. Those black-hearted workshop owners do not even need to pay wages. They only need to provide two rough meals a day. Countless people are rushing to work, busy from dawn to late at night. I can only rest for two hours!
Under such high-intensity work, many people fainted, became sick, or even died of exhaustion, and then were ruthlessly abandoned, and then new workers came in to fill in, and the cycle started again and again, exchanging lives for gold!
"Okay, sir, I was just too tired just now and accidentally fell asleep. I can still continue to work and make money for you!"
"They're all skinny and skinny. If you stay here, it's a waste of food. Come on, throw them out!"
"No!"
¡¡
"Shopkeeper, I'll sign up - I'll sign up too!"
The door of the nearby workshop opened. Under the command of the fat shopkeeper, a skinny worker was thrown out by the thugs after stripping off his only warm clothes. He lay on the roadside groaning in pain and soon lost his breath!
Dozens of refugees immediately rushed up, vying for replacement places. Although this was a dead end, they could survive for a while. If they couldn't find a job, they might not even be able to survive the night.
The fat shopkeeper looked through the crowd of refugees like an animal, and finally selected a relatively strong man and pulled him into the workshop gate. The rest of the people did not disperse, and were still waiting at the gate, hoping that it would be later. Throw out another one!
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, with no food or clothing, those tired and exhausted workers will soon become dead on the road. Tomorrow morning, a corpse collection team will come and throw the corpses into the wilderness, leaving them to hungry wolves and wild dogs. Share it!
"Father, they are so pitiful!"
"Don't look, go away!"
Xiao Feng felt unbearable and slowed down his pace. He wanted to help the poor refugees, but Xiao Yi grabbed his son's little hand and sped up In the land of right and wrong, you can't stay for a long time, let alone ask for trouble!
There are too many refugees on the street. As long as you rescue one, a group will immediately surround you. You won't be able to leave even if you want to. It will also attract the attention of patrol soldiers. If your identity is exposed, you will be in big trouble.
If Xiao Yi were to be defeated in Bashu, I don't know how much chaos would be caused, and the general situation of the world would change. It wouldn't be just a few refugees who would die. Swordsmen would be everywhere, killings would continue, and millions of people would die. ?
?Together with the envoys from the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were sent to Hanzhong County and then to Xiao Yi!
Obviously, this is to hope that Xiao Yinian will return to Luoyang quickly to meet him for the last time and take care of his affairs The traitor was so domineering in his life, but now he is bowing his head and pleading in disguise. It is really pitiable. ah!
Xuchang is the ruling center of the Caoying Group, and it is managed in a weather-tight manner. When this happens, Xiao Yi really doesn¡¯t dare to go back, lest he cause disaster!
Luoyang is different. For the restoration project that he presided over, the garrison, officials, people all aspects are inextricably related to the Xiao family, so the safety is very guaranteed!
What's more, Xiao Yi couldn't bear to refuse the traitor's begging, and was ready to go back to see him for the last time. After all, he was his father-in-law But it was not easy for him to get away immediately!
¡°When I came to Chengdu this time, I not only drank Zhao Yun¡¯s wedding wine, but also had to do a big thing and kill another person!
If the big thing fails, the Liu Bei Group will gather lessons and soon regain its strength, and then send troops to the Northern Expedition. By then, the war will continue, and countless lives will be killed and injured!
"If one person does not die, he will be in serious trouble. To be honest, among all the civil and military personnel in Liu Bei's group, this is the only one who can make Xiao Yi fearful!"
"How are the preparations in various places?"
"It's ready and ready for action. This is something made according to your instructions!"
While speaking, Wu Zhi took out a piece of raw silk. It was soft, smooth, and extremely elastic. It looked normal. However, after rubbing it in his hands a few times, it actually started to burn with a flash of fire, it turned into ashes!
It turns out that after the silkworm cocoon is formed, it is soaked in hot water to make it soft and fluffy, and then the raw silk is slowly pulled out. This is called cocoon peeling!
According to Xiao Yi¡¯s instructions, Sihai Shop secretly added some white phosphorus powder to the hot water during the silk drawing process to make it adhere to the raw silk, and then sold it to various workshops at low prices!
These raw silks look like nothing, but during the weaving process, once friction generates heat, they will burn. In the Jinguanfang area, the most feared thing is fire!
"Very good, here's the order: On the second day of the first lunar month, raise the flag to rebel, bloom everywhere, and cause a big commotion in Bashu!"
"No!"
Zhao Yun had just gotten married, and Xiao Yi didn't want to ruin his wedding night, so he postponed the time a little. However, the matter of returning to Luoyang was urgent, and he had to finish the matter in Bashu within ten days! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
