Chapter 426 Textile factory with 10,000 to 20,000 workers (fourth update)
When Liu Fa took the seal of the troop deployment certificate from the leg of Taiwei Gao Qiu, his whole mind was still a little confused.
Obviously I don't think it's okay, but it turns out that such a good job would actually fall on me.
Gao Qiu's thigh slapped Liu Fa's shoulder heavily, and he spoke seriously.
"General Liu, when rushing to the south of the Yangtze River, you must obey the orders of the Xuanfu Zhizhi envoys, and you must not be good at specializing in talents."
"Don't worry, Lieutenant. The last general, Ming Hong, will definitely dare to disobey."
Liu Fa saw Gao Qiu's meaningful expression, and he didn't know what he meant by Gao Taiwei.
He immediately bowed respectfully and promised loudly.
All the generals were sincere and not hypocritical. In short, they all came forward to congratulate General Liu on taking over the important task, and congratulated him on his immediate success and victory.
As expected by Liu Zhongwu, Liu Qi, his second-in-command, became one of the Forbidden Army's cavalry that rushed to the south of the Yangtze River at night, just as he expected.
In less than half a day, the three thousand imperial cavalry had been organized and headed straight towards the starry night in the south of the Yangtze River for reinforcements.
Lieutenant Gao rarely went out of the city to see him off. Seeing the cavalry quickly disappearing into the distant horizon, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Captain, don't worry too much. According to my opinion, Duke Zhuangyuan is resourceful and good at calculations. There is a Crown Prince in the south of the Yangtze River and I have made arrangements in advance."
"If the official Ming Dynasty paid much attention to the mistake of Zhuangyuan Gong, even the imperial cavalry, which had not been used in the previous battles in the northwest, also sent three thousand reinforcements."
"Gong Yuan of Ji will be able to stabilize the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. If he can limit the Zhu family's rebellion and prevent it from rotting in the south of the Yangtze River, then this will be a great achievement."
"Thank you for your explanation, but I didn't expect that. I thought that the child would be responsible for the civil affairs, but unexpectedly, he caused a turmoil."
After hearing Gao Qiu's sorrowful complaints, Liu Zhongwu couldn't help but chuckled.
"After all, it's probably because some people are overly indulgent and have become dissatisfied..."
"Hey, Duke Zhuangyuan is too merciful, otherwise..."
Gao Qiu stroked his long beard and nodded slightly.
"But this way, at least until the chaos in Jiangnan is quelled, the court will not be in chaos."
Liu Zhongwu opened his mouth and had to admit that it was true. At this time, another soft murmur came to his ears.
"I just hope Zhang'er is safe..."
Liu Zhongwu looked at the muscular Gao Qiu in front of him. What he saw in front of him was no longer a captain, but a father.

"Dad, dad..." Duan Dalang walked quickly through the corridor and around the pillars, and finally saw his own father, who was fanning himself in the pavilion and taking a nap.
Duan Zhongping straightened up unhappily at having his clear dream disturbed, and spoke angrily.
"Dalang, what's going on? How can you be so flustered?"
"Dad, is this a letter brought to you by the entruster of the Number One Scholar?"
Duan Zhongping raised his eyebrows, stood up immediately, took the letter from Dalang, and opened it eagerly.
After just a few glances, Duan Zhongping's eyebrows began to squirm like a living insect, and his gleaming eyes were matched with his mouth that was smacking frequently.
Looking at that paragraph, Da Lang felt a little frightened.
"Dad, what did the letter from Duke Zhuangyuan say?"
Duan Zhongping ignored his own son. It was not until he read the entire letter that he showed an expression of incredible joy and burst into laughter.
"Great things, great things, great things!"
"Dad, dad?!"
"Okay, Dad can hear me. I don't need to beg you to scream. Let me think about it carefully. I'm wrong. How many hydraulic spinning machines and looms are currently delivered by Kaifeng Metal Workshop?"
After hearing the numbers reported by Duan Dalang, Duan Zhongping rolled his eyes.
"Buji, Yuanji Buji, let's go, I'll go to the Kaifeng Metal Workshop with me."
"There is a pedal-operated sewing machine that Yuan Gong mentioned. I don't know if they have produced samples yet."
"Dad, what did the Number One Scholar say to make me so happy?"
"Gong Yuang said two things. He has a large merchant fleet; and he plans to build a textile factory in Jiangnan that can accommodate at least 10,000 to 20,000 workers."
"One to twenty thousand people..." Duan Dalang's eyes widened and he exclaimed in disbelief.
"I don't believe it? Haha, if I hadn't actually seen the water-powered spinning machine and textile machine that Zhuangyuan Gong once described, I wouldn't believe it either."
Those words made Duan Dalang nod his head vigorously. Once Duan's trading company also has a way to trade in Hai Zai.
In this way, the cotton that was originally harvested at a high price will be woven into cotton cloth and sold to surrounding countries. The cotton cloth with strong texture and excellent warmth retention in the south may be sold better than silk in the south.
But if it can be sold to the Tibetan people in the north, those barbarians can buy as much as Duan Dasheng believes.
No point, Zhuangyuan Gong’s merchant fleet, official background...
The father and son were so excited that they couldn't help themselves and hurried out of the house hand in hand.
As for whether Jiangnan has been pacified or not, they don't care about asking for it. If they don't ask for it seriously, Duke Zhuang Yuan can definitely do what he says, and that's enough.

In the past few months, the bustling and noisy city of Suzhou seemed a bit depressed and lonely.
Outside the city, except for a few people who had no way of making ends meet and had to grit their teeth and run around.
There was constant traffic, and there were groups of rebels holding banners, and the flags raised high seemed to be proudly announcing that it no longer belonged to the territory of the Song Dynasty.
And whether it belonged to the King of Wu named Zhu Mingmeng, as for the head of the original Wang Zhizhou of Suzhou in the Song Dynasty, it was now hanging on the chess pole in the square outside the official office of the original state government.
In addition to Wang Zhizhou's head, there were many diehards who were unwilling to follow the rebellion, and their heads were all hanging on Zaifang.
As for the official office of the state government, it has already become the official office of the Eastern Civil and Military Affairs Bureau of Prince Wu.
Around the official office, a large number of rebels loyal to Zhu Meng were patrolling and wandering.
Zhu Meng, who ascended the throne as king three days ago, is now sitting high in the hall, walking in front of the throne who was driven out of the palace in a hurry.
Due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, the paint smell was very strong.
Zhu Meng, the king of Bu Nao Wu, was very simple and simple, and the smell was strong. So he put more incense in the hall to neutralize it, at least it would not be so pungent.
If you smell too much of it, it will easily make you dizzy, but if you discuss the problem with it, you won't care about such small flaws.
"Does this come from the letter of war sent by the governor's missionary? I beg your Majesty Ye Ran."
A fat and powerful man, now a general under the command of King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, copied the letter and handed it to the King of Wu who was coming.
