Poor family mother and son

Chapter 157
Chu Qing made a deal with King Guli to buy here every year, and Amu Dong was also very happy. He bought in his village and he didn't need to transport it.

Zhandui watched the whole negotiation between Chu Qing and King Guli from the sidelines, and thought that he would have something to brag about when he went back: just like the wolf-killing woman in the caravan last time, she negotiated a deal without saying goodbye to the king. up!

Xiaobao brought out a tray, with baked bean cakes on it, and a wooden cup of sterilized corn, and the other same small cup contained water mixed with wine.

"My lord, is the deal done? Do you want to celebrate?" Xiaobao looked innocent.

"Hehehehaha!" King Guli laughed, thinking that this little guy was quite interesting.

Xiaobao picked up two wooden cups with both hands at the same time, and handed them to Chu Qing and King Guli respectively. King Guli didn't care that Xiaobao offered the wine glasses with both hands, but patted Xiaobao on the shoulder: "Good boy!"

The guys from the secret investigation department in the team were a little depressed, and said to themselves: Don't leave me here, the food here is too bad!
King Guli drank the glass of wine.The wooden cup is not small, and that glass of wine is four or two taels!In an instant, the fat face turned red, and the nose became even redder!
I saw him frowning and closing his eyes tightly for a long time without taking a breath, and then he let out a breath of alcohol with a "ha" sound, and praised: "Good wine!"

Xiaobao's eyes widened!
Chu Qing looked at his cup in embarrassment, took a symbolic sip, and then had to hold his breath until his face turned red, and said, "My lord has a huge amount! Forgive me, I can only take a small sip."

Then he glared at Xiaobao, forgot to drink alcohol!
Chu Qing asked King Guli to supervise the weighing of cotton bolls on the spot, but King Guli refused to show his trust, but left behind a team of guards: "You stay here to maintain order!"

Thanks to Chu Qing's help in eliminating insects, the loss of cotton seedlings is small this year, and the average yield per mu has reached more than 420 catties.

The leader of the guards was also very surprised, this woman really has some skills!
........................

Before going to bed at night, Chu Yuan and Zhuo Yao came to Chuqing, they were a little worried.Zhuo Yao asked: "Boss, you won't lose money by collecting these cotton bolls, right? I see that white folded cloth is sold in the exchange market."

"Yeah, we don't know how to make cloth either." Chu Yuan also said.

"I will, don't worry, it's not difficult," Chu Qing said, "The principle of all weaving is the same, whether it's silk or linen, it's nothing more than crossing the threads horizontally and vertically.

Silk needs to be made of silk, and there is nothing more difficult than pulling silk and cocoons.It is easier for us to make cotton cloth. It is the same as making linen cloth. It is nothing more than a troublesome step of turning cotton bolls into cotton yarn.

In addition, it is not difficult for us to improve the spinning wheel and increase the speed of spinning. "

"Isn't seven cents a catty of cotton bolls too high? It's already equal to the price of rice!" Zhuo Yao's heart aches when he hears about spending money, besides, the price of cotton bolls is as high as that of rice.

"Basic food, housing, transportation, you see, clothing comes first, and we make clothes from cotton, is it easier for you to say that?" Chu Qing asked with a smile.

"Cooking rice into rice, is it still the price of rice? It's a matter of adding more firewood and more water, isn't it?" Chu Qing said, "It's the same with cotton bolls. It takes a little labor to turn cotton bolls into cotton yarn and cloth. Will the price be higher?

Let's do the math, cotton bolls carry seeds, called seed cotton, and one hundred catties of seed cotton costs seven hundred wen, and about 35 catties of lint can be produced, that is, cotton that has taken off the seeds;

From cotton to cotton yarn, cotton yarn to cotton cloth, the damage is about 27%, and the finished product accounts for about [-]%. That is, [-] catties of seed cotton can produce [-] catties of cloth, and a bolt of white folded cloth is only about [-] catties;
Even if we weave the cloth very thickly, assuming that 27 catties is a piece of cloth, [-] cash is a piece of cloth, right?

The price for the caravan to collect white folded cloth in Voss is 45 cents per foot, one piece is forty feet, and one piece of cloth costs [-] yuan. Let’s see, is there a price difference of [-] yuan? ?How much is the labor cost?

Freight and labor costs are spread on each piece of cloth, calculated at [-] cash per piece of cloth, and we still make a net profit of one tael of silver!How much is the labor cost now?
This is the purchase price of the caravan. How much is a piece of white cloth in Jizhou? 30 taels is still the base price, and the price in Kyoto is nearly 80 taels!

Do the math, is this a good deal? "

"My God!" Chu Yuan exclaimed: "It can't be calculated like this! A piece of silk in Jizhou is only six taels! Who will buy your cotton cloth for 30 taels?"

"Chu Yuan, haven't you been to Kyoto? What's the price of the white cloth there?" Xiaobao asked.

"...It seems to be quite expensive. There are more than 80 taels. If they are dyed, they are also available for more than 100 taels." Chu Yuan said.

Zhuo Yao said at this time: "I think as long as the capital can be sold, this matter can be done! There are rich people everywhere, but the richest people are all in Kyoto! At this price, selling a piece of cloth is enough to eat. one Year!"

Zhuo Yao likes to hear about making money the most, not about spending money.

"Don't think it's expensive, how much does our Daxuan caravan sell silk to Voss? It's about 100 taels, right? Six taels to 100 taels, is it expensive?
Rare things are more expensive, expensive because they are less, isn't it?We bought all the local seed cotton, which is equivalent to monopolizing half of the cotton cloth!
Also, I can assure you that our cotton cloth is better than Voss's. In addition, as long as our cotton cloth is increased in width, it will definitely sell well! "

"Boss, how do you know this? We are with you every day, and we don't understand what's going on!" Zhuo Yao asked.

"Hey! Haven't you eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs running? We have been wandering around the cotton farmers for the past two months. Haven't we seen them spinning cotton thread? I think it's too slow when I look at it. Change the method, we must Better than them!" Chu Qing said confidently.

She hadn't seen Daxuan's spinning wheel yet, but judging from the price of the cloth sold in the cloth store, it was estimated that the spinning wheel was relatively backward.If taxes are not considered, those prices are largely based on labor and transportation costs.

Chu Qing has wool and cotton in his hands now, and wild hemp in the future, so he really needs to get a good batch of spinning wheels.

Thinking of wild hemp, Chu Qing asked Chu Yuan and the others to bring a batch of local wild hemp seeds. Now is the time to harvest the seeds. At this time next year, she will harvest the first batch of tea leaves and wild hemp stalks.

What Chu Qing thinks is that he has no source of silk, so he can't export silk, but he can sell cotton textiles and wool textiles domestically, and earn a lot of money, which is not very good!Coupled with cotton and linen blending, oh, don't be too soft on money!
I'm going back to China tomorrow. I've been away for too long, more than three months. It's time to organize the autumn harvest when I get home.There are also converters and blast furnaces. I don’t know if there is any malfunction, so don’t hurt people...

After thinking about it, Chu Qing became sleepy, Xiao Bao simply pushed her on the bed, Chu Qing didn't open her eyes, she lay down and fell asleep.

Xiaobao covered him with a sheepskin quilt, put on an oil lamp and went out.

People here sleep in houses made of poplar wood as the frame and red willow branches as roof tiles. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, but they are afraid of fire.

The little treasure who went out was no longer Xiaobao, he asked Zhuo Yao to go down to the river to catch fish.Mother loves to eat fish, so he prepared a few to take with him on the road.The villagers are all dried fish that have been sun-dried, and that stuff is toothless.

Xiaobao also asked Chu Yuan to pull wild hemp. Mother said that this thing is good, and she will pull some back to raise, otherwise it will be too long to plant seeds next year!
"This is not good, the villagers still expect this thing to spin hemp and spin thread! Can we pull it out?" Chu Yuan was worried.

"How much can they use? Just pull it out. It's late at night, and no one will see it!" Look, the last sentence is the key. What Xiaobao means is: before others know, steal it quickly!
