Overlord!

Chapter 70 Wu County Weaving Department
Not long after Jiang Qinhui reported the news of his wife's arrival in the county, a messenger sent by Sun Ce's family arrived at Sun Ce's Wutong Garden outside the city.

The messenger's chirping voice was extremely excited, and Sun Ce heard her cheerful voice from a long distance in the hall.

Soon Sun Ce saw someone coming, it was Zhao Jin, the little cook.

When she saw Sun Ce, she beamed with joy: "Meet the general, Mrs. Zhou sent me over to say I'm well, and ask where to settle down?"

Mrs. Zhou is also Zhou Cheng.After all, her background is very noble, far above Liu Bei's Mrs. Mi.So although she is a concubine, Sun Ce's subordinates respectfully call her Mrs. Zhou.

Due to the far-reaching influence of the alliance between Sun Ce and Zhou Shang, many people privately thought that although the general had a wife, if he really had a great career in the future, Mrs. Zhou might not be made a queen like Guo Shengtong, the queen of Pei.

And Zhou Cheng has a clear mind and a virtuous temperament. After hearing such rumors, he is even more cautious in his words and deeds, so he sent someone over first to ask where he should be resettled.

After all, there is still a regular wife in the back house.

Sun Ce smiled and said to Zhao Jin: "Mrs. Sun hasn't arrived in the county yet, so you arrived first. You can go back and let Mrs. Zhou come over directly. Forget it, I'll pick her up in person."

Sun Ce was very happy to be so considerate to Zhou Cheng and maintain the harmony in the inner house.After all, he didn't want to be distracted by the inner court struggle on the way to hegemony.

How could Sun Ce not respect such a beautiful woman?He personally took the guard cavalry to meet him.

In other words, at present, Sun Ce is indeed a good man.

In Zhu Xia's current marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is more important than respecting each other as a guest, raising eyebrows, and as for passionate love, it still has to be ranked behind the love of Qin Se.

The location of Zhou Cheng's chariots and horses is in the north of Wu County, near the ferry.The navy transported iron officials, craftsmen, women and others from the Niuzhu camp to Wu County day and night, and the water patterns and routes have been explored very clearly.

Zhou Cheng arrived in Wu County from Niuzhu Camp in just one day on a navy ship, so she arrived one step earlier.

However, for this day's itinerary, there are only a few hours on the water, and most of the time is spent on getting on and off the boat and carrying items.This is also the most time-consuming part of the navy's round-trip transportation.

Zhou Cheng alone has thousands of pieces of luggage. In this era without suitcases, it is not easy to go on a casual trip.

The Song Dynasty was rich and rich, and it was popular to do a generous dowry, so women had red makeup ten miles.

But in today's world, Zhou Cheng is actually not too far behind. As the daughter of many generations of ministers, her dowry was not only thousands of songs, but also a dowry of [-] family members.

In addition to her dowry, there are all kinds of precious porcelain, rugs, jade, gold and so on that Sun Ce seized in Niuzhu Camp and Ruorong Camp.

These luggage were carried off from the naval ships and piled up on the flat ground beside the ferry, like a hill.

When Sun Ce approached, he really raised his eyebrows and was surprised for a moment.

He got off his horse and walked to the graceful Zhou Cheng, his voice was full of surprise: "I always feel that I have never managed wealth, but now, there is so much wealth in the mansion."

Today is the time when the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the mountains and rivers reflect each other, the trees are shady, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.

It seems that in order to fit the beautiful scenery, Zhou Cheng wore a set of blue and beautiful straight train long skirt, which perfectly showed the beauty of Qingqing Zijin, a woman from the Central Plains.

At present, both men and women still like blue, rather than white.

The biggest advantage of straight yoke compared to curved yoke is that it saves the cumbersome matching of curved yoke. It is very simple. With the combination of coiling up the hair and forming a bun, Zhou Cheng's fair and tall neck is exposed, which is even more attractive. She is magnificent, unique and independent.

Of course, according to Sun Ce's summary, this is a perfect cool and ancient beauty with a forest style.

Seeing Sun Ce coming to greet him in person, this cold beauty couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "After all, Sun Lang is leading the people to march east, setting up lives for the soldiers, and building businesses for Jiangdong. If Sun Lang's mansion doesn't have any wealth , I am afraid that the soldiers will be even poorer."

Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he looked at this beauty's beautiful face. Compared with this peerless face, her talent was even more dazzling, and she always brought surprises to himself.

"Your remarks coincide with Zhang Gong, my most trusted counselor. Zhang Gong also asserted that if you want to build a business in Jiangdong and stabilize the situation, the wealth in the hands of the soldiers is the most important thing."

It is indeed the virtue of a hermit to be willing to live in poverty.This leads to poverty, which seems to have always been a thing to be praised.

But Sun Ce is a very materialistic person.He never felt that the army should be very poor, relying on spiritual will to maintain combat power.

On the contrary, he has always felt that the generals who are truly supported must be the generals who can lead all the soldiers in the army to obtain wealth.

If all the way to expand the territory, the soldiers' wallets have not bulged up, and they have not accumulated a lot of wealth, then even if this war is not a complete failure, it will definitely not be considered a success.It will cause the war to be unsupported and unsustainable.

Therefore, Sun Ce did not hide at all that he gained wealth during the battle.I even hope that the powerful will take the initiative to contact his power when they see this wealth. Whether it is investing in his subordinates or trading, it is a good thing.

Seeing Sun Ce's cheerfulness and calmness, Zhou Cheng couldn't help smiling, and said, "Mr. Zhang is a great talent in the world, with a high reputation. How can I compare with him as a woman?"

Sun Ce waved his hand and asked the guards and maidservants to carry the ceremony, leaving himself and Zhou Cheng alone, then he stared at Zhou Cheng very solemnly, and said: "You are too modest, I always thought that your talent is not inferior. No man in this world. It is a pity that such a talent and knowledge are only guarded in the inner court."

Although Zhou Cheng has a cold temperament, her personality has never been strong. On the contrary, she has always been gentle and easy-going. She had never thought about such a thing of fighting for victory before.

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhou Cheng hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Sun Lang's intention is that he wants me to also participate in government affairs?"

Sun Ce shook his head: "No. I want you to go one step further and take up an official position as a female officer!"

The big man not only has professional female officials, but also has the emperor's empress teacher like Ban Zhao, court officials, and empress dowagers.What's even more commendable is that no one left a bad comment about Ban Zhao's participation in politics. On the contrary, she was admired by the world and respected as everyone.

So that later generations gave her a very high evaluation. Ban Zhao's learning, Qin Liangyu's courage, Xin Xianying's clear knowledge, Li Yi'an's poetry, and Song Ruoxian's scriptures are listed among men, and they are also rare.

Both Ban Zhao and Xin Xianying were famous talented women in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Besides, which dynasty or generation did not have a few famous female officials?
Sun Ce is very open to women being officials, and he does not think that women should stick to the inner court.

Ethos, if you don't change it as the master, who do you expect to promote it?
Cao Cao even managed to achieve the custom of not erecting tombstones under his rule. Ministers, prime ministers, and famous people from aristocratic families died like ordinary people, and there was only an earthen grave, which was buried hastily.

Sun Ce didn't believe it, and he did the opposite, improving the atmosphere of openness and tolerance, improving the status of women, and what kind of waves could be caused.Which tycoon would continue to fight with Sun Ce because of such a trivial matter?
So Sun Ce encouraged: "I once heard a woman's declaration, I can put yellow flowers on the mirror, or wear cold light on the iron armor. A woman is loyal and brave, and has never been inferior to a son. You are not weaker than any hero in the world. .Why can't I be a female official like Ban Zhao's auxiliary government, and manage a government affairs for me?"

Zhou Cheng's eyes were bright, as if the whole world was suddenly enlightened, and he praised: "I can decal yellow in front of the mirror, or wear cold light on iron armor. Being able to say this is really worthy of being a strange woman in the world. It's just why I never Hearing such a strange man with great ambition?"

"Cough." Sun Ce can't admit that he moved here from later generations, but he can't deny it if he wants to encourage Zhou Cheng, so he can only continue talking nonsense: "Oh, this is what my second sister said, and it hasn't been handed down to the world. .”

There is no other way, Second Sister, you will be my Princess Yangping!Hongzi is my Chai Shao.

"It is true that she is the tiger girl of Jiangmen, so I, as the eldest sister-in-law, can't be inferior. I hope I can help Sun Lang do good government affairs."

Sun Ce smiled and nodded: "It's so good, there is a government affairs that is most suitable for you. I plan to set up the Wu County Weaving Bureau, and you will be the weaving captain."

In addition to the meaning of a military officer at the moment, the captain has another meaning, which is to represent the lord to supervise a certain important government affairs.And the meaning of the latter item is getting more and more important, such as Zhisu Duwei, Siyan Duwei, Diannong Duwei and so on.

After Zhou Cheng listened, he immediately had a general understanding, and his eyes widened: "A woman is the military officer and captain? I also want to lead the troops?"

Sun Ce asked with a smile, "Why don't you have confidence?"

Zhou Cheng hesitated for a moment: "It's not that I don't have confidence. It's just... I used to think that commanding an army was something that heroes like Sun Lang and Gong Jin could do."

Sun Ce then explained with a smile: "Don't worry, the people you lead are mainly women. Just organize the women to carry out textile production. The wives of aristocratic families have always been in charge of these things, arranging the production of the manor, managing the cloth and shop operations. You can just treat it as a part of my family and manage it."

Having said that, Zhou Cheng felt much less stressed.

Indeed, as Sun Ce said, among today's powerful families, they all attach great importance to manor production.The main wife doesn't leave the door, and the second door doesn't go out, and she still has to manage a lot of family affairs.

At least Zhou Cheng knew something about this.Previously, the Zhou family had raised her as the official wife of a wealthy family.It was only a coincidence that he married Sun Ce and reached a political marriage.

Now that Sun Ce respected her so much, and handed over the entire weaving department to her, she was very touched and wanted to take care of this matter thoughtfully.

As for the Wu County Weaving Department, the name gave Sun Ce extremely strong confidence.

This is the predecessor of Suzhou Weaving Mansion!It is one of the centers of the silk weaving industry in the Central Plains.For the Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, they harvested a huge amount of wealth from the world.

As long as Zhou Cheng can manage the Wu County Weaving Department well, it is absolutely no problem to harvest the wealth of the major princes in the Central Plains, not to mention harvesting wealth from the world.

This is one of the most important pillars for Sun Ce to make the country rich and strong.

Sun Ce has absolute confidence in Zhou Cheng's talent.

This is Jin, the heroine of the present age, and her talent may not be weaker than that of Zhang Zhao, Xun Yu, or even Zhuge Liang.She is pinning on Sun Ce's hope to replace the term female Zhuge.

A wise man with such talent is in charge of the Wu County Weaving Department, and he will definitely be able to bring the government-run textile industry under Sun Ce to an unprecedented height.

However, although this matter is important, it is not urgent.

Because even if you want to set up a government-run workshop, you must first purchase materials from the powerful hands of Wu County before you can weave silk and spin cloth.

Zhou Cheng said: "To build the Wu County Weaving Department, the most important thing is to stockpile materials in the government treasury first. There is no rush to arrange female workers."

Sun Ce nodded. After all, let alone the establishment of the textile workshop, he didn't even choose a location.

He smiled and said: "Although this matter is serious, it won't be too late for you to go to Laoton before you settle down in the mansion. It's not too late to go back to the mansion and settle down. I have already asked Zhao Jin to pack up the bed."

Zhou Cheng's mind was clear, and upon hearing the words, he felt that what Sun Lang said was normal, so he followed Sun Ce to the mansion.

But it wasn't until she entered the room and Sun Ce closed the door that she was surprised to find that Sun Lang seemed to have ulterior motives.

When Sun Ce picked her up, she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around Sun Ce's neck: "Sun Lang, it's still daytime!"

Sun Ce put her on the couch, leaned forward, and untied her bun, spreading a cloud of blue silk on the couch: "Let's try new tea with a new fire, poetry and wine take advantage of the time!"

……

Sun Ce is young and newlywed. After being separated for more than a month, he has already accumulated a lot of enthusiasm.The flame was burning so fiercely that even watering it again and again could not completely extinguish the flame.

It was almost dusk when Sun Ce walked out of the room.

After Zhao Jin had left, he entered the room with a pale face, and asked Zhou Cheng, who was lying limp on the couch, "Madam, why did you offend the general? The general beat you so badly that you couldn't even get up. I'm listening next to you." I couldn't bear it, I screamed for two hours, you begged for mercy, and the general still didn't let you go. I heard everyone say, isn't the general very magnanimous?"

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng's face was slightly drunk, and he was too lazy to get up: "It's okay, you will understand when you grow up. Go and boil the water. I have to take a shower and change clothes, and Sun Lang will come over at night."

"Ah? Come again? Don't you want to beat him again? If you beat him again, you will be killed. Madam, can you hold on with such a weak body?"

Zhou Cheng covered his face with a quilt. Is this the harmony of the phoenix and the harmony of the harp?Why are there so many tricks, which are quite different from what you imagined?
While Zhou Cheng was taking a bath, Sun Ce had already invited Gu Yong, the magistrate of Wu County, to start preparations for the Weaving Department for her.

To organize production, besides manpower, the most important thing is the means of production, that is, hemp and silk.

This kind of raw material must be grown in Wu County.

Especially the powerful family, compared with the small farmers who have already solved their hunger needs, will plant a large number of mulberry fields and hemp fields.

These two are the most important textile materials at present.
