The promulgation of the new civilian system caused an uproar among Qing Ming. Countless people were cheering and even hoped that the Wu clan would come to fight more games so that they could gain more military achievements.
There are always people who secretly go to see where the field is, what it looks like, and figure out how many pieces of land they would exchange if they could.
But there are also some voices of dissatisfaction. Many caravans traveling to and from Qingming for business have complained about the fact that the farmland is not allowed to be resold, and they are overtly and covertly angry.
Some people also attacked the 20% tax on land granting, saying that farmers affiliated with aristocratic families did not have to pay taxes to the court at all, and the 20% tax was simply a rip-off.
Wei Yuan caught a few of those who made a big fuss, so they arranged to have their hands tied and their faces spread open in the downtown area.
The voice of criticism became much quieter in an instant.
Anyone who dared to intercede for these people was slapped fifty times, and finally the people in these caravans figured out whose territory they were operating on.
After the implementation of the conferment of military merit on land, there is still a lot of tedious and complicated work, such as how to calculate the current military merit of civilians, which field to confer, how to connect the subsequent conferment of fields into one place, etc. Each of these detailed issues means a lot and
Complex work.
Fortunately, Human Fireworks is the best at dealing with such a large number of trivial matters, and it can also improve Taoji's spirituality. Ever since Wei Yuan asked the girl Yin and Yang to delineate the entry area, Wei Yuan has relaxed the restrictions on entering Human Fireworks, and the Dharma Spirituality has followed.
It will rise again as the number of mortals increases.
But Baoyun tried many times but couldn't get in.
After entering the human world, most people serve as the most basic task unit. If you want to improve the spirituality of Taoism, you can only serve as a processing node like Cui Yu. Only a few dozen Taoism cultivators can be assigned as nodes.
, they either have enough accumulated merit, or have outstanding potential, and they must swear a blood oath of eternal loyalty.
If others want to improve the quality of Daoji, they also need to perform meritorious service and prove their loyalty, and finally make a blood oath. This is the last ascending passage in Qingming's cultivation system, so Wei Yuan has extremely tight control.
Only by being loyal to Qingming wholeheartedly can you get the chance.
At this time, the Tiandi Chukai Research Institute finally produced results: a new generation of silk and brocade textile machines!
The principle of this textile machine is not difficult. There is only one core breakthrough: using the spiritual energy array as the source of power to drive the operation of the textile machine.
Nowadays, the mortals in the world of fireworks have long been accustomed to the concept of power. Any equipment designed must first consider power issues. And the most mature one now is the use of aura power driven by magic circles.
If there are no spiritual objects, you can also use Taoji monks as a power source. Therefore, the institute proposes to cultivate a group of Taoji monks with long endurance and the ability to continuously and stably output mana as soon as possible. It is recommended to start with water, wood, and earth.
Starting with walking, water is the best, followed by wood.
Wei Yuan looked a little strange when he saw this. If his Daoji warrior used the improved water blade technique to push the blade wheel to rotate, it seemed that it could drive more than a dozen looms, and it could work for several consecutive days before it needed to be replenished.
However, this kind of job is naturally suitable for those new Daoji cultivators who have broken the limits of human-level Daoji. Wei Yuan has seen that a large number of new Daoji monks will not be able to find jobs in the future, so naturally he will not compete with them for jobs.
In addition to power, there are many small improvements in the new loom, such as a feeding system that can continuously and stably supply silk automatically, and a core body that can change the silk brocade pattern by changing the machine plate.
The institute also has further improvement plans, such as changing the existing fixed machine version into a new machine body that can change the pattern by adjusting the control panel, etc.
According to the evaluation of the Tiandi Chukai Research Institute, the efficiency of the new loom is twenty times that of the traditional Ning brocade loom. It can reduce the weaver's fee of about 2 taels of silver for a piece of Ning brocade to one penny. Therefore, a piece of Ning brocade can
Ningjin's cost has been directly reduced to one or two or six yuan, of which one or two is miscellaneous expenses, including warehousing, transportation, customs taxes, various miscellaneous taxes and losses. This area can also be significantly reduced in the future.
However, in the Western Jin Dynasty, the cost of brocade weaving and miscellaneous expenses could not be reduced. On the contrary, the miscellaneous expenses were on the rise. For example, a few months ago, the King of Jin ignored the opposition and added one yuan to each piece of brocade for Zhengbei.
Tax.
Coupled with the high price of silk, the cost of a piece of brocade has reached four taels and three taels, and the selling price is 5 taels. The profit is already quite meager, and any road card can turn it into a loss.
If sold to the Wu clan, the exchanged materials would be converted into immortal silver, and a piece of brocade could be sold for about fifteen taels.
Wei Yuan was very satisfied with the new looms and began to manufacture them in large quantities in secret. However, all the looms produced were sealed and not used for the time being, because it was not yet time.
After the new loom was successfully developed, Wei Yuan went to find Master Hoe He. The next key step was with him.
The current residence of Master Chuhe is built next to the medicine garden, and the large land next to it has become his testing ground. In the center of the land, there is a three-foot-square flower bed, surrounded by complicated
There are four mulberry seedlings planted in the flower bed, but the varieties are different.
Master Chuehe brought Wei Yuan to the flower bed, pointed to one of the mulberry seedlings and said: "This is the mulberry seedling I cultivated with the spiritual soil given by Patriarch Huang Yun. This one is more in line with our requirements. Click here
After cultivating it in the right direction, after two or three generations, it should be ready for use."
Wei Yuan looked carefully and saw that there was a faint cold air in the branches and leaves of the mulberry seedling, and the branches were a little light blue. The leaves were also a little cold to the touch.
Master Hoe carefully picked off a leaf and fed it to a fat silkworm in the insect garden next to the flower bed. After eating the leaf, the insect felt a little colder in its body. Although it was not obvious, it could be clearly sensed by Wei Yuan's perception.
arrive.
Master Hohe said: "This kind of mulberry seedling is naturally cold and has the meaning of a spiritual plant. The silk produced by feeding insects with its mulberry leaves has a hint of coldness and is stronger. This kind of silk can be called ice silk.
Compared with the current mulberry silk, it can be called top quality. As long as we promote the new mulberry seedlings,
Naturally, mulberry farmers will change their crops.
Since the new mulberry seedlings have the charm of spiritual plants, they will change the surrounding living environment on their own after being planted. According to my observation, it will gradually transform the land into gravel geology, so that the roots can penetrate deep into the soil. In less than three years,
This land is not suitable for growing food."
Wei Yuan said: "That's right. But it takes time for new mulberry seedlings to grow. Mulberry farmers won't cut down mature mulberry trees and plant new seedlings instead, right?"
The old hoeer chuckled, stroked his beard and said, "How can such a trivial thing prevent me from building a wooden palace? This mulberry seedling does not need to be planted new, just cut a new branch, make a hole in the original mulberry tree, and graft it on."
However, in the initial stage, it needs to be taken care of by a monk who has cultivated the wooden path foundation for a few days, and then it can survive by warming and nourishing it with the power of the Tao.
After the new branches are successfully grafted, what is the opponent of ordinary mulberry trees? It only takes one year to convert ordinary mulberry trees into ice mulberry trees. However, ice mulberry trees cannot be planted too densely, and some ordinary mulberry trees need to be cut down."
Wei Yuan nodded slowly: "For ordinary mulberry farmers, if an ice mulberry plant appears in the field, they will treat it as a family heirloom. Well, it should be easier to convince the big households to change planting. Let's go to the Yao family first!"
Master Hohe picked up a silk thread from the insect garden and said to Wei Yuan: "This is the new ice silk. The quality is still lacking. When all the insects are fed with ice mulberry leaves, the quality can be improved to a higher level."
"
Wei Yuan took the ice silk, and it was indeed a little cold on the tentacles, and then pulled it again. It was much tougher than ordinary mulberry silk.
Master Chuhe chuckled and said: "The clothes made of ice silk can naturally cool the body after wearing them. I believe that the princes, dignitaries and wealthy people will not let it go. When the finished product comes out, we only need to pay tribute to the King of Jin."
A batch of—”
Wei Yuan also had to admit that apart from being a master of celestial swords, Master Wei was indeed a rare talent in other aspects.
The ice silk was an unexpected thing. Wei Yuan's original intention was to find an improved mulberry tree. If planted for a long time, the land would no longer be suitable for growing food, so as to cut off the way for the seven counties in Ningxi to convert mulberry trees into crops. Based on Qingming's current expansion
With the speed, the food gap in the seven counties will be filled in the future, and Wei Yuan will be in an invincible position by then.
The emergence of ice mulberry and grafting techniques not only fully satisfied Wei Yuan's needs, but also gave rise to a type of ice brocade that could sweep the Western Jin Dynasty.
According to the experience of the Outer Worlds, when the rich and powerful have no place to spend their money, they will spend money on such so-called luxury goods.
Although it is difficult for Wei Yuan to understand the behavior of buying luxury goods in the outer world, looking at the rich and powerful people in Dantang playing with coral, jade, and jade, he seems to understand a little bit.
Most of these people have cultivated to the point where their future is near and there is no hope of promotion. Most of the monks who still have the possibility of promotion are immersed in cultivation, focusing on spiritual objects and elixirs.
But how many monks can still advance in the big soup? Most of them have no way to advance. For them, there is not much difference between the early and late stages of Daoji, so they might as well enjoy it.
At that moment, Wei Yuan praised: "This grafting technique is really a magical skill!"
The old Taoist hoeer said modestly: "Haha, this is actually nothing. This was originally a method I used to cultivate rare spiritual plants in the wooden palace. It is naturally very effective when used on ordinary wood. Even the Taoist monks who cast spells are not very good at it.
Enough, the old Taoist has been thinking of a way to quickly achieve the Dao Foundation these days. Among the next batch of monks who are promoted to the Dao Foundation, a group of people must be selected to specialize in cultivating this kind of Dao Foundation."
Wei Yuan immediately agreed.
Master He's new Taoist foundation is called the Taiyi Tongtian Sacred Tree. To cultivate a new branch, the difficulty is about the same as that of the Great Bright Demon-Suppressing Sword.
Wei Yuan saw the benefits of this Daoji at a glance.
Its Dao power is dense and long-lasting, and its regeneration is quite fast. Even if you don't cultivate ice mulberry grafting, it can still be used to take care of other spiritual plants. Even if it is not good at controlling the loom, it is also a good hand. Although this Dao Ji is not good at fighting, it is not good at fighting.
Worry about work.
In terms of future prospects, it is still better than the Immortal Sword and Pseudo Sun. If you don't burn fires and fight during the Immortal Sword and Pseudo Day, then you can only work as a security guard.
So Wei Lan immediately decided to vigorously promote Xindaoji.
