System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 102 Chamber of Commerce
"Sister, do they have any new news?" Mrs. Mei followed Jing Niang eagerly.

If there is no new news this year, Mrs. Mei will be sold out.

Jing Niang's blue and white eyes were like smoke, and she said sadly: "They are arranging noble people behind their backs, but there is no news. Sister, don't worry, if I have any news, I will tell you."

Mrs. Mei held Jing Niang's tender hands, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes: "Sister, I'm all dependent on you."

"Ah."

Jing Niang returned to the bedroom, took out a bamboo slip, hesitated for a moment, and stuffed it back.

That night, Wang Jian came to Jingniang's room again. After the two of them had a storm, Jingniang nestled in Wang Jian's arms.

"Mr. Lang, when will you take me out of the courtyard?"

Wang Jian gently stroked Jingniang's satin-like hair: "Jingniang, you are really a spy, how can you reassure me? Even if I trust you, how can I explain to the queen?"

Jing Niang straightened up, her waterfall-like black hair hanging down, blocking the beautiful scenery: "Mr. Sir, do you want me to submit a certificate of surrender?"

Wang Jian lay on the quilt, admiring the beauty with anger: "Jing Niang, the queen is decisive in killing, and countless souls have died at her hands. I don't want to be her victim. Jing Niang, please feel sorry for me."

Jing Niang bit her lip, and after struggling for a long time, she said: "Today, they are dissatisfied with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and want to create civil unrest and force the nobles to leave."

Wang Jian sat up and hugged Jingniang from behind. His strong upper body conveyed a steady stream of warmth to Jingniang.

Wang Jian bit Jing Niang's delicate earlobe as if punishing, and said softly: "Jing Niang is not good, am I not more reliable than your Zen master? He is just a gutter rat who can't be seen."

Jing Niang trembled all over and stared at Wang Jian in disbelief: "How could you?"

Wang Jian smiled at the corner of his mouth and tapped on his red lips: "Now that the lady has learned about the spies, if I overturn this matter, how can I explain it to the lady? I have all the troubles in the small courtyard under my control."

Jing Niang was trembling all over, with tears in her eyes: "He will kill me."

"As long as I'm here, I will protect you." Wang Jian hugged Jing Niang tightly, "Trust me."

Suddenly a strong wind blew outside the house, and the terrible whistling sound made Jingniang couldn't help but shrink into Wang Jian's arms.

……

"Since Wang Jian has promised you, he must keep his word." Many fish looked at Jingniang who was kowtowing, and thought of Mao Xue inexplicably.

After she returned to Qin, she carefully taught her son Lou Fu, took care of the housework, and lived a peaceful and simple life.

Although they are as tall as willows, they are as solid as a rock.

Many fish stopped Wang Jian who was going out: "Wang Jian, take away the pot in the small courtyard and keep the woman."

Jing Niang suddenly raised her head. The girl above her had a calm expression, as if she was actually giving an order for an ordinary trivial matter.

"Here!" Wang Jian cupped his fists and saluted, his whole body filled with a murderous aura, like an unsheathed sword.

Jing Niang boldly asked with a trembling voice: "My lord, the woman in the courtyard..."

According to the usual practice, brothel girls will be sent to military camps. On that day, the sky will not respond and the earth will not work.

Duoyu said: "You are not ordinary brothel girls, so I will not let you go free easily."

Jing Niang looked desperate. Did she lose the bet?Are you going to drag down your sisters?
Duo Yu said: "I will set up a women's house, and you will work in it and earn your own food. The women's house will be run by Mao Xue."

This club will be responsible for exploring the textile industry, and if it is successful, it will be promoted throughout the county.

Why is Mao Xue responsible?That's because she modified the loom herself!
Before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the official textile industry used waist looms and the material was ramie.

After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing were common in the Yangtze and Yellow River basins, and waist looms were also improved into foot-operated looms, which greatly increased output.

The increase in production made the clothes of nobles at all levels mainly made of silk, and silk was widely used in gifts exchanged between nobles and in sacrificial offerings.

There are various types of silk fabrics, such as silk, gauze, silk, cotton, silk, Luo, brocade, etc. Among them, silk is the most widely used.

Dyeing techniques include coating dyeing, kneading dyeing, dip dyeing, mordant dyeing, etc., and there are even complex techniques of first dyeing, re-dying and even seventh dyeing. "Mao Xue, the Guo family has a monopoly on the fabric industry in the Bashu region. I don't want to keep him." Many fish were honest and fair to Mao Xue.

Mao Xue has such a clear heart, she understands the deep meaning of many fishes: "Here!"

Jing Niang followed Mao Xue out step by step.

Mao Xue's eyes were smiling, and her voice was like a spring breeze: "Jing Niang, the queen takes pity on us, we must do our best to serve the queen."

Jing Niang nodded.

"All the past events are just like the clouds and smoke of the past. If we continue to do spies, in this era when life is worth nothing, what will it mean if a few people disappear?" Mao Xue's words drifted in the cold wind.

Jing Niang sighed in her heart, she was indeed not an easy girl to get along with.That's all, although it didn't go as planned, it can still be regarded as completing the task.

-

Many fish sit quietly at the top of the hall, waiting for the powerful people to come.

"Female monarch." The head of the Chen family kowtowed respectfully.

The servants spread soft cushions for the head of the Chen family.

When he was fighting for the position of the head of the family, his legs were stabbed by his own brother. Whenever it was windy or rainy, or in the cold winter months, his legs would become sore. In severe cases, he would even be unable to walk.

The head of the Chen family hurriedly thanked him, but he sighed in his heart. If the eldest man in the family could be half as powerful as the female monarch, why would he have to drag his sick body up and down?
"Madam."

……

In the end, only ten families came.

Bashu was regarded as a place of exile due to its harsh environment.

Fucheng is relatively prosperous, and powerful people from Shu live concentratedly near Fucheng.

This time many fish were given ten days, enough time for each family to return.

However, four still refused to join the chamber.

Many Fish: "Each family contributes land, money, and manpower to jointly establish a chamber of commerce. These will be converted into contributions, and members in the chamber will be allocated according to the degree of contribution."

"A fixed [-]% will be reserved for the county governor's office. The rest will be divided between me and each family."

The heads of the family secretly communicated with their eyes, what did the lady mean?She wants to fuck?Or do you plan to invest in it?
"Female Sir, I dare to ask, besides potatoes, what other business does the Chamber of Commerce have?"

There is a house owner who comes here unwillingly and uses most of his belongings for farming? !This kind of thing is gold.

Duoyu: "Of course not. In the future, salt guides will be issued for well salt operations."

hissing...

Shiohiki? !
Everyone kept swallowing their saliva.

It has been hundreds of years since Guan Zhong of Qi State promoted the salt industry monopoly and enriched the national treasury.

Except for Qin, the salt industry monopoly of the other six countries was in name only.

After many fish dug wells to make salt, she kept allowing small traders to sell salt. This made powerful families think that she was planning to follow the example of the Six Kingdoms.

There is nothing that can be done about many fish. The surface brine in Bashu has never been developed and is really rich in content.As long as you find the right place and dig a shallow well, you will have an endless supply of brine.

In just a short time, well salt has been piled up in several warehouses.

Although there are many small traders, they are indeed not as powerful as the big traders and cannot sell at all.

"Nemesis, can you tell me more about Shiohiki in detail?"
