Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jincheng was built after Chang'an, so there is nothing to see in the landscape.  After Li Zhi and the others entered Jincheng, they lived in the original Silla Palace, but now this palace has been converted into the Governor's Palace. Li You's family also lives here, but Li You avoids Li Zhi and the others.  I didn't see him, I just asked my wife Wei Shi to go out of the city to greet him, and then held a banquet in the mansion.

    Li Zhi's avoidance of Li You was originally expected, and he didn't want to see Li You in the first place. After all, the relationship between their brothers was not very good when they were in Chang'an. In fact, not only Li Zhi  , Li Min, Li Zhen and others all have a very bad relationship with Li You, and now their identities are both very special, so it¡¯s okay not to see each other to avoid embarrassment for everyone.

    Speaking of which, Li You is the governor-general of North Korea and China. In terms of responsibilities, it can be said that he has military and political power. However, the reason why Li Min asked Li You to be the governor was just to use his name to calm the people of these three Koreas.  Therefore, as a governor, he was not worthy of his name and did not have much power. The political power of the two states was handled by their respective governors. As for the military, Li You had no involvement.

    After Li Zhi and the others rested for a night in the Governor's Mansion, the next day, accompanied by Lu Hong, they visited the textile factories and food processing plants around Jincheng.  Out of precaution against the three Koreans, North Korea and China and South Korea do not have any heavy industry at all. The main economic pillar is agriculture, as well as the textile industry and food processing plants.

    ? Among them, the textile industry is mainly the wool textile industry. The wool mainly comes from the Andong Protectorate in the west of Samhan. There are large pastures everywhere, and a large number of cattle and sheep are produced every year.  Most of the wool produced is sent to North and South Korea, where textile mills spin exquisite woolen fabrics or blankets.  Then it is sold to Datang and overseas, but it is worth mentioning.  Although the workers in the textile factory are all Koreans, most of the bosses behind them are Han Chinese.

    In addition to the wool textile industry, the food processing industry is the second largest light industry in North Korea and China. The raw materials for making cans also come from the Andong Protectorate, where mutton, pork, etc. are mostly shipped to these two states.  , and then made into canned meat of various kinds, as well as some crops produced in the two states, some of which are also canned and sold, but the largest sales volume is canned meat.

    When Li Zhi was traveling in the Tang Dynasty.  I have been to Taiyuan once and saw a wool textile factory there. I know that the most troublesome thing about this kind of factory is not the spinning, but the cleaning of the wool. This requires the use of a special cleaning solution, which smells very pungent.  And during the cleaning process, the water temperature must be controlled and stirred continuously.  It can be said to be very troublesome.

    "Bah~bah~, it stinks!" Before entering the factory to visit, Sizi was holding his nose and couldn't bear it. Cai'er next to him also frowned.  This is the southeast corner of Jincheng.  There is a government-run woolen textile factory. The three Koreans employed in the factory are at least third-class aliens and speak very fluent Chinese.  It will not affect communication, so it was chosen by Lu Hong as the target of the visit.

    "I told you a long time ago not to come. But you just didn't listen. Now you have to suffer!" After hearing this, Li Zhi said with some gloating.  When I was in Taiyuan.  They had just come out not long ago, and everything they saw seemed new to Si Zi. When they came to the big city of Taiyuan, they were naturally eager to have fun, so they did not go with Li Zhi. Naturally, they couldn't stand the smell of wool cleaning.

    "Huh, what's so great about it, isn't it just the smell? Brother Jiu, if you can bear it, Si Zi can bear it too!" Si Zi covered his mouth and nose and said with a stubborn look on his face.

    "Haha, you brothers and sisters, please stop arguing. Mr. Lu must have been prepared and won't let us go in like this!" At this moment, Cai'er suddenly smiled and said.

    As a result, Li Zhi and Si Zi also discovered that Lu Hongzheng was sending a plate of things with a smile, and then said to the three of them: "Your Highness, this is the mask Wei Chen asked to prepare, which can temporarily block the odor!"

    Lu Hong said, reached out to pick up a mask from the plate, and put it on his face. Li Zhi, Sizi, and Cai'er also followed suit and put it on their faces, but they soon discovered that,  This mask exudes a strong smell of vinegar, just enough to prevent them from smelling the unpleasant smell outside.

    Several people wearing masks entered the textile workshop of the factory, and what they saw was full of busy female textile workers. These female workers were all local Sanhan women. At first, the Sanhan people lost a large number of young and strong men because of the war.  Many families had no food to eat. Fortunately, Li Min had people open these factories and let these women work in exchange for food. In the end, there was no major famine.

    Li Zhi entered the textile workshop and found that the largest textile factory in China and South Korea still uses water power. Unlike the textile factories in Datang or Dengzhou, which already use steam engines as power.  However, compared with Datang and Dengzhou, this place has one advantage, that is, manpower is cheap and there are enough people, so this placeAlthough the production efficiency of ?? is not very high, the output is not low.

    In addition, during the visit, Li Zhi also discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, the entire factory is all spoken in Chinese, and regardless of the type of work, the workers speak Chinese well, especially some managers, whose Chinese is better  Much more fluent than ordinary workers.

    Regarding this phenomenon, Li Zhi specifically asked Lu Hong for advice, and Lu Hong told him with a smile that this was the result of promoting Chineseization. Jincheng, as the original capital of Silla, was greatly influenced by Han culture.  The original aristocratic class in the city regarded speaking Chinese as a virtue, and even some ordinary people were fluent in Chinese.

    It is precisely because of such a good foundation that when the Prince of Qi formulated the strategy of promoting sinicization, Sanhan was the area where sinicization was most successful, and Jincheng was the place where sinicization was the deepest in Sanhan.  For example, taking this factory as an example, all the workers in the factory are at least third-class foreigners, and their mastery of Chinese has reached the point where they can listen and speak, while the general managers are second-class foreigners, and they can already write two words.  They can read more than a hundred Chinese characters and know some simple arithmetic. There are even first-level aliens among higher-level managers.

    Don't underestimate this classification of aliens. Each level is linked to each person's salary. For example, take the third-level aliens as an example. When they work as textile workers, the wages they receive are the average wages of Han textile workers in the Tang Dynasty.  One-third of the amount, while the fourth-level aliens can only get a quarter, but if they are the second-level aliens, they can get half. As for the first-level aliens, they generally cannot be weavers, at least not  Will become a factory manager and get a higher salary.

    In addition to different wages and welfare benefits, foreigners at all levels also have various differential treatments in work and life. It is precisely because of this that these three Koreans are studying Chinese desperately and wear Hanfu every day.  , changed his surname to Han, regarded himself as a Han Chinese, and worked hard to improve his level.

    There is also news that the Qi Palace is formulating a rule, that is, if two first-level interracial people get married and have children, one of their children can be selected to become Han.  This regulation is an incomparable temptation for all foreigners, because no matter how high the level of the foreigners is, they cannot compare with the real Han people, so they all dream of becoming Han people.

    After hearing Lu Hong's explanation, Li Zhi was also surprised by the degree of Chineseization in Sanhan. At the same time, he also had a deep understanding of assimilating foreign races. He vaguely seemed to have caught something in his mind. It was just the thoughts in his mind.  There are too many, so you have to find some time to calm down and think about it.

    In addition, Li Zhi also discovered that after the sewage from washing wool in the textile factory was discharged into the nearby river, an originally clear river was dyed brown and black. The farmland downstream did not dare to use this water to irrigate their farmland, and it was not drinkable.  Seeing this situation, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel something. No wonder he saw woolen textile factories in Taiyuan built on sparsely populated wasteland and levied heavy taxes. It was probably because of this pollution.

    However, the woolen textile factories here in Jincheng are being built everywhere, and there are also a lot of polluted rivers. It seems that Brother Six still doesn't care about Sanhan, otherwise he wouldn't have all the woolen textile factories with huge pollution.  Located here.

    After visiting the textile factory, Li Zhi visited the food processing factory next to it. This is also a government-run factory, and the scale is also very large. The situation in the factory is similar to that of the textile factory, and all communication is in Chinese.  , the quality of the workers is the same, just the work they do is different.  In addition, compared with wool textile factories, current food processing plants do not cause much pollution. At most, they produce some oil pollution and are discharged into the river.

    The visit to these two factories made Li Zhi deeply appreciate the results of promoting localization.  This was also a great inspiration to him. The Tang Dynasty now annexed the northern grasslands and occupied vast areas of the Western Regions. However, these two places were not peaceful yet. Tuyuhun in the south had long been occupied, but  It still cannot be completely integrated into the Tang Dynasty.

    Originally, neither Li Shimin nor Li Zhi had a good solution to the above matter, except to strengthen the control of force. However, what he saw in Jincheng today has opened a window for Li Zhi, and he has deep thoughts on solving the above problem.  I already have a vague idea of ??the problem.

    Lu Hong looked at Li Zhi who was thinking hard in the carriage, with a satisfied smile on his face. Others thought that Li Zhi could become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty just because of his good luck. However, after this period of contact, Lu Hong  It has been keenly discovered that Li Zhi is definitely a qualified heir to the throne.

    In order to make Li Zhi¡¯s experience more profound, Lu Hong then took Li Zhi to a very important place in Jincheng.  (To be continued)
