Chapter 286 Half a catty 82
"Similar things are expected to happen again. As long as they don't cause disputes, this is actually a good thing. We can guide them through certain channels to prevent these outsiders from occupying the land of the owner!" Yiyi knows that people nowadays still like to bully the weak and the big bully the small. Whoever has the stronger fist wins. The big families have a lot of wealth and must have trained a lot of people and thugs. Maybe they themselves are not anti-people, but there is no guarantee that they will not bully people. In order to avoid disputes, it is safer to have rules to follow in advance.
"Just classify them as immigrants! Come up with some immigration policies and systems." Bai Lu also said.
"Second sister is right. If there are more large households from outside, the real estate industry will flourish. This is the driving force for economic development!" Yiyi said with a smile.
"Building houses for sale can bring about demand for brick and tile factories, lime factories, and timber factories, and can also drive employment. I just don't know if there are so many rich people who can buy the houses? This is a big problem!" Bai Lu said bluntly.
"We can discuss the plan with the fourth brother and start it in Jincheng, plan the site, and build it according to certain ancient architectural characteristics." Ling Wuxin said.
Yiyi: "My husband, what you said reminds me that Shu brocade is the specialty of our Shu land, right? Second sister, do you still remember Jinli Street when we went there for a trip? The buildings there are really unique!"
"That's right! I read that "Jinli" was originally an ancient street in Chengdu during the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms period, which was mainly engaged in brocade weaving and selling brocade. There are many records in the literature and poems of all dynasties. The highly developed brocade industry earned it the name "Jincheng." Bai Lu talked about what she learned during the tour. Jinli, known as the "First Street of Western Shu", is one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Shu. It was mainly engaged in brocade weaving and selling brocade. There are many records in the literature and poems of all dynasties. The name Jinli is naturally related to Shu brocade. Mulberry and silkworm breeding has been practiced in Western Shu since ancient times. The silk weaving industry was quite mature during the Warring States Period, and it was even more developed and prosperous since the Qin and Han Dynasties.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Shu brocade occupied an extremely important political and economic position. Zhuge Liang once said in the "Edict": Now the people are poor and the treasury is empty, and the materials needed to fight the enemy all rely on Shu brocade. He raised Shu brocade to a strategic level, which shows the importance the court attached to the brocade industry. It can be seen that Shu brocade was the support for the country to restore production and resist foreign enemies at that time, and the main source of finance.
"Really? Are there such streets now?" Yiyi looked at Ling Wuxin expectantly, wanting to get confirmation from him.
Ling Wuxin said calmly: "Not yet. Nowadays, brocade is handmade by family members. There is not even a decent workshop!"
"Ah? The fourth God of Wealth actually missed this way to make money?" Bai Lu asked puzzledly.
"My wife, do you know how much time and energy it takes to weave brocade? Common people make it at home during their spare time from farming. To weave a piece of brocade, a small one takes several months, a large one takes a whole year, or even longer. So the value of Shu brocade lies in its complex craftsmanship and time-consuming labor! Shu brocade is mostly woven with dyed silk threads, with warp threads for patterning, and colored strips for coloring or adding flowers, and it is woven using a combination of pattern organization and decoration. To sum it up, it's difficult! It takes at least ten years to learn the skills, let alone learn them completely." Ye Xiao analyzed to Bai Lu.
"Considering the current situation, it is indeed a bit embarrassing. Since ancient times, where there is demand, there is motivation, and the superstructure determines the development of the underlying structure!" Yiyi felt it was a bit of a pity. Sales determine productivity, and it is necessary to not be hasty in order to get things done.
"Fortunately, the brocade weaving craft has been passed down without interruption, and it will get better and better in the future. The ideas you have given are very good, and you can propose them to the fourth brother. It can be used as a planning scheme for the development of Jincheng!" Ling Wuxin concluded, and then he asked Yiyi to take the baby back to the room to feed. She was still in the confinement period, so it was not suitable for her to worry about the major things that men should worry about.
"I'll go feed Ruibao too, you guys go ahead and chat!" Bai Lu also stood up and said.
"Uh, second sister, you guys go to the guest room to feed the babies!" Yiyi suggested. She didn't explain that she needed to feed two babies at the same time and needed a man's help. It would be embarrassing in front of her sister.
"Okay, I understand! Husband, let's go to the guest room to feed the baby!" Bai Lu smiled nastily, obviously she had misunderstood!
"..." Yiyi was speechless. What should she say? Nothing she said would be right.
The two couples went back to their rooms to feed their babies. The three men in the kitchen were also busy preparing meals. Cooking didn't take much time, but making the soup took time. If the heat and time were not enough, the soup would not be rich enough. If the soup was watery, it would not be soup!
"Sixth brother, have you won the heart of my wife?" The three men gathered together to gossip. Xiao Qi asked Xiao Liu bluntly whether he had won the heart of his wife.
"Ahem~ How to capture? Probably not." Xiaoliu Zhouzheng's face flushed slightly. He was caught off guard by the question asked by Xiaoqi and almost choked on his saliva.
"Ah? Why are you so slow?" Xiao Qi was treating Xiao Liu and Ba Liang the same, they were both the same, and he had the nerve to complain about the other person's slow progress!
"Tsk tsk, it sounds like you're making fast progress!" Sure enough, Xiao Ba exposed him on the spot.
"I'm just waiting. I'm waiting for Yiyi to recover, otherwise giving birth will harm her body!" Xiaoqi's face turned red, he was trying to save face and hold on!
"Love between husband and wife isn't necessarily all about having babies!" Xiao Ba attacked without mercy.
"Then what's it for?" asked the straight boy Xiaoliu and the silly boy Xiaoqi at the same time.
"Tsk tsk, I told you you don't understand, of course it's to pamper my wife!" Xiao Ba said, but attracted suspicious looks from Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi. They realized that Xiao Ba was a novice just like them, and no one had more experience than the other, yet he dared to preach to them so shamelessly!
"Do you understand? There are many ways to pamper someone! For the sake of my wife's health, I can endure it!" Xiao Liu asked back, trying to save his face at the same time.
"I don't understand either, but I have been influenced by my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother. Even someone who doesn't understand anything can learn a little bit!" Xiao Ba doesn't care about his brothers' doubts. He has his own ideas. He will pamper his wife in his own way and let her have a place in her heart. Just thinking about it, he is really looking forward to it!
"... Third brother made my wife cry last night." Xiaoliu was silent for a while before saying this slowly.
"..." Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba were confused. How could they say that? Sixth Brother, you are such a straightforward and stupid idiot!
"I just don't know how to make my wife happy!" Xiaoliu seemed to have opened the door to confess.
"..." Xiaoqi and Xiaoba continued to be stunned!
"I want to be good to her, very good, but I don't know how!" Xiaoliu, who is in unrequited love, continued to confide.
"...You~you have done very well! Sixth brother, be more confident. Women like confident men!" After a moment, the same-minded Xiaoqi finally uttered a dry word of comfort!
"Sixth brother, your chance has come. You just need to treat her well with all your heart. There is no need to worry!" Xiao Ba also comforted him.
"Well, I feel much more relaxed after telling you guys!" Xiao Liu smiled relaxedly. He was not stupid and of course he knew that his chance was coming. He was just nervous and didn't know what to do to make his lady accept him. Who could understand the anxiety of the first time?
