Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields Chapter 401: Send me to help?
lnmao.org, the fastest update of Home of the Farming Girl: Pick up a general to farm the latest chapter!
Others even filled the quilt without removing the cottonseeds. As a result, in the spring and southern wind or rainy March and April, because of humidity and high moisture in the air, buds sprouted in the quilt...
In short, everything!
Moreover, those who had the courage to offer to the county grandfather, were furiously blasted out of the county office in the name of "deliberately teasing" by the county grandfather, causing countless people to laugh.
The county grandfather sees the so-called "quilt" that is lower than the one sent by Lian Fangzhou and obviously doesn't know how many grades and clearly confused so-called "quilts", can he not be angry!
Those savvy businessmen who are best at finding business opportunities immediately saw the profit and started buying cotton on a large scale.
In the beginning, the price was not high. First, I felt that the country folks were honest and coaxing. Second, I felt that all the farmers in the county had planted it. Although it has never been seen before, it is actually not rare, and where it is worth it. What about the purchase price?
Of course, the price will certainly not be low if it is purchased and sold as quilts.
Not only will it not be low, but it will be very high and very high.
Who knows that when people first planted this cotton, most of them were in a sense of resistance, plus they didn’t know how to handle it, so it’s irrational for this to grow well!
The most important thing is that there is no topping, so the results are naturally very few. Not only less, but also small.
In this way, the number is really not too much.
In addition, although the country folks are so entertaining, once the quilt thing spreads, who is willing to sell the cotton after it has been collected?
The most fearful thing for the poor is to spend the winter. Some can't afford felt blankets or kapok quilts. They can only cover soft mats made of straw or animal skins such as dog skins and cowhides.
Now that we have cotton, and it is from our own land, we don't need to spend money to buy it. After all, the homes of several people in the family are not enough to make quilts. Who would be willing to sell it?
Even if the price is very attractive, most people have withstood the temptation.
So I turned around, and the merchants with far less than expected had to raise the purchase price.
As soon as the competition between each other started, the price went higher and higher, and by the end of September, it had reached the point of a catty of cotton and eight taels of silver!
Such a high price finally made most people unable to withstand the temptation and sold it!
Lian Fangzhou learned of the news and sent a letter to Fang Qing and Su Jinghe, stating that the price will remain the same as previously stated, and the selling price of the quilt will not change.
Fang Qing and Su Jinghe quickly replied to her, naturally saying that they had no objection.
The couple and Master Su can't help but sigh, treating her more sincerely. After all, it is not easy for people in this world not to be dazzled by wealth, especially those who are not originally wealthy.
Now that the autumn harvest is over, cotton is the busiest season for harvesting, and Lian Fangzhou finally hired enough people to pick it. Twenty people were hired to remove cottonseeds.
Six thousand catties have been sent to the Su family, all of which have been removed from cottonseeds. There are also three thousand quilts made by our own workers, in two sizes of seven catties and eight catties.
Because of borrowing the sales channels of Su's family, Lian Fangzhou reduced 50 taels of silver per quilt to the Su family. Fang Qing and Su Jinghe had no choice but to accept it.
Even so, the cotton and quilt sent over this month earned more than 500,000 taels!
The various costs incurred are basically negligible in front of this astronomical figure.
Fortunately, everyone saw that the swaggering horse caravan transported cotton to the Su family, only as the Su family borrowed Lian Fangzhou’s hands to grow it. They didn’t know that Lian Fangzhou had made such a fortune, so I saved it. Because of her a lot of trouble, she doesn't have to spend much time in this area.
As for the Su family, who would dare to hit their family's idea?
That night, Lianli's family had dinner, and Lian Hai said to Qiao, "Mother, tomorrow we both will go to Fangzhou and the others to help pick cotton!"
"What did you say!" Joe jumped up like a cat with its tail stomped on, and exclaimed angrily: "You let me pick cotton for her!"
"You are not allowed to go, our family does not lack those few wages, it is serious for you to work hard at home!" Lian Li also said.
The couple looked at each other, feeling a little bit sour in their hearts.
The cotton matter can be said to be the most sensational and most eye-catching thing nowadays.
Lian Li and Qiao felt envy, jealousy and hatred towards Lian Fangzhou, and the couple were stunned by this, and they didn't eat and sleep well for several days.
Even though they both thought that Lian Fangzhou was just working for the Su family, with such a big benefit, the Su family was leaking through the fingers, and that was enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for several years!
This dead girl is really lucky!
Qiao's heart was full of discomfort, and he tried to find out how much money the Su family had allocated to Lian Fangzhou and the others. Even Qing'er asked, but no one told her what she wanted to know.
She feels unhappy in her heart! I am cursing wishing Lian Fangzhou to be unlucky! But the son asked himself to help her, isn't this just poke her heart and lungs with a knife!
"It's not a matter of a few wages!" Lian Hai frowned and said, "Anyway, how I do it is my own reason, then you will know it! Mother, you don't have to go, anyway tomorrow I will go!"
"You!" Joe's sigh of anger was stuffy in his chest, and he trembled: "You, are you still my son! If you don't help me teach the dead girl, let me vent my anger, and actually force me to attack her. Bow your head! I will not go! You are not allowed to go! If you dare to go, I, I—"
Joe's I didn't know how to threaten my son for a long time.
Lian Li, who pondered for a moment, suddenly grabbed Joe's, nodded and said, "Go! Then go! It is reasonable that we are a family, and we should help! It's incomparable. Outsiders are not as good, are they? Ahai, you can just go to pick cotton. Let's ask if there is anything else to help. Fangzhou has hired so many people this time, shouldn’t someone take care of these? Human? What if they steal the cotton! We are also thinking about Fangzhou!"
Joe's was about to frustrately collide with her husband a few words, when he heard this, his eyes turned and he didn't say a word.
To say that the cotton seeds from her family were of course not sold to Lian Fangzhou, they were scattered on the ground.
But it didn't take care of it, letting it fend for itself.
When the cotton incident spread, the couple rushed to the ground to look inside. I was dumbfounded. Half of them didn’t know when they died. The remaining half were sparsely living in the weeds. Not only were the cotton bolls scarce, but they were also very thin. I don’t know how many catties they were after they were picked. Woolen cloth!
The couple was very disappointed and complained about each other. Even more resentful for the harvest of Lian Fangzhou's family.
At this time, Lian Li's word "steal" made Joe's mind lively.
