When they found out, they were still happy in their hearts - the official family (Sixth Brother) was really kind, and this was a different way to reward them!

But why did the matter in Lingjinyuan turn to Kapok?

"After the two countries personally performed their duties, they mobilized the people around the Xihe River, Xiaoyu Prefecture and County were kind, reclaimed wasteland and planted Kapok in the Weihe River, Taohe River and other river basins."

"A few days ago, the two national relatives had already transported the first batch of picked cotton bolls..."

"The total is more than 115,000 kilograms!"

When the two palaces heard this number, they couldn't help swallowing.

How many? More than 115,000 kilograms!

"Now these cotton bolls are all in the specialized military manufacturing bureau. Shen Kuo commands craftsmen to use the cotton ginner he invented!"

"A piece of Jibeibu, two feet and two inches wide and four feet long, is used for about four kilograms of cotton. The two national relatives transported back this time can weave more than 30,000 Jibeibu, based on the market price of 20 jin, which is worth more than 600,000 jin, nearly 700,000 jin!"

"And this is just the first batch of cotton bolls transported back to Bianjing!"

"According to the reports of two national relatives, this year, there are more than 100,000 mu of cotton fields planted in Xihe prefectures, with a yield of about 11 or 2 kilograms of cotton bolls per mu. After leaving, at least one hundred and one hundred thousand kilograms of cotton can be woven to achieve nearly 300,000 pieces of cotton, worth about 6 million jin!"

"And the agreed price of cotton bolls for me and my two national relatives is calculated based on two pillars and one pair, and I need to pay the two national relatives 600,000 yuan!"

When both palaces listened, they were all stunned.

They never thought that Xiang Zong, the two guys Gao Gongji, were carrying them in Xihe, and made such a big noise.

This is an industry worth more than 6 million RMB!

Even the acquisition money paid by the official (Sixth Brother) is more than 600,000 guan!

What did they do?

The two palaces don’t know at all!

But Zhao Xu continued to say: "This is only this year!"

"Next year, the cotton planting area in Xihe Prefectures may reach 300,000 mu, or even 400,000 mu, or 500,000 mu!"

"The year after tomorrow will probably reach one million acres!"

"Even if the price of Jibebu fell by ten thousand yuan, this is an industry of ten thousand or two million yuan per year!"

"It takes only three years to produce cotton bolls worth ten or two million yuan a year along Xihe! "

The heart of the two palaces thumped up.

In the past, Xihe Road was a pure place to lose money.

The court spent millions of chunks a year to maintain its local rule.

That's why the government and the country had the voice of Qixihe.

But now, Xihe has the ability to create more than tens of millions of wealth along the way.

If this happens, then Xihe Road will become a major financial and taxation area for the Song Dynasty!

What’s even better is that for the royal family, it’s equivalent to taking the money from the country and doing their own business!

only……

"What does this have to do with Lingjinyuan?" asked the Empress Dowager.

Zhao Xu smiled: "Does the grandmother still remember the grandmother carriage that Sun Chen offered on this year's Kuncheng Festival?"

The Empress Dowager nodded.

"You can see that after being tried in the specialized military weapon manufacturing bureau, Shen Kuo found that it could be used to spin cotton yarn, and its spinning efficiency was several times that of other spinning wheels!"

"And Shen Kuo made the Holy Mother Shuttle as the birthday ceremony of the mother's queen according to my will!"

"This Virgin Shuttle is used for weaving cloth, several times or even ten times more than other looms!"

"In other words, the Grandmother's Cart, the Holy Mother's Shuttle, and the Two Saints Ci'en can greatly reduce the work of spinning and weaving, and the weaving workers can weave several pieces of cloth in one day!"

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, cloth has been money!

No matter what kind of cloth it is, it can be used directly as money.

The government recognizes it, and the people recognize it!

So, where are the cotton bolls produced on Xihe Road?

It's clearly copper coins!

The two palaces turned flushed as they listened to Zhao Xu's description.

The Grandmother’s Car, the Grandmother’s Shuttle!

If what the official family (Sixth Brother) said is true, then the historical status of the two of them is for Lao Zu!

Laozu taught the people to raise silkworms and draw silk, and they will be kept in history and will be sacrificed for generations!

They can also be immortalized by the Mother's Carriage and the Virgin Shuttle!

But the problem is...

They still didn't think clearly why the official family (Sixth Brother) didn't use such a useful institution as Haoduan Lingjinyuan.

If you have to distribute it, isn’t millions of coins a money?

Zhao Xu saw the doubts of the two palaces and said, "Mr. Deng talked about Mr. Xu Jiang's words at the lecture, saying: The laws of the previous kings are the reasons why the people are not rich in the world? Confucius said: Since the common people are rich, they will be taught!"

"Guanzi said: True warehouses and know etiquette, and they know enough food and clothing, and they know honor and disgrace. However, the people are not rich, the granaries are not sufficient, and they are not sufficient food and clothing. If you want to teach them to be etiquette, they will seek etiquette and avoid humiliation. All scholars know that it is difficult!"

"Therefore, for the king, one must make the people rich, and only when the people are rich can the country be strong!"

"The holy kings of ancient times all hid wealth from the people!"

"Sima Xianggong also said: If the wealth in the world is more, the people will be less; if the people are less, the world will be uneasy!"

Zhao Xu once again carried out Li Ju and Sima Guang's archway.
