Poor family mother and son

Chapter 191 Lost my wife and lost my army?
So far, the work of Xinlunzhou this year has been basically completed.

Chu Qing took Xiao Bao back to the military farm with peace of mind. It had been almost a month since the opening time, and it was already very cold in winter months.

Chu Qing went back to her tent to pack her luggage and prepared to take Xiao Bao back to Jizhou.

Fifty days before the Chinese New Year, Chu Qing was in a hurry to go back to see if the weaving workshop in Jizhou was up and running, so much cotton and wool had to be turned into commodities quickly.

Chu Qing was too busy to sit still, and some people were too anxious to sit still.

Guli King Pazhuo who was far away in Tuhuerte kicked over four slaves, and whipped his most powerful housekeeper Xiri Ahong more than a dozen times.

Because the transaction is yellow!

Millions of catties of cotton fell into the hands!

We have to start with their negotiations with Chu Yuan and Lao Yu.

Originally, their plan was to use the name of Jiangnan Meng's family to force Chu Qing to buy their cotton at a price of ten cents per catty.

They are all big buyers, this year Jiangnan Meng's price was ten cents, which made Pazhuo feel like he was losing money by agreeing to Chuqing last year at seven cents per catty.

However, the Jiangnan Meng family has a huge background. Their silk, porcelain, iron ingots, and tea are almost all over the entire territory of Voss, and they are not mainly engaged in the cotton business. Therefore, Pazhuo thinks that the cooperation with Chu Qing will last longer.

But Chu Qing actually told him to "don't make things difficult", so he gave up!Is this not a problem?It's embarrassing for him, okay?

Jiangnan Meng's family saw that Chu Qing did not raise prices with them, and had no intention of buying cotton in good faith at all. They simply said, "Don't hurt your business partners for us, whoever buys it is for the purpose of making cotton available." All purchases have been changed to only purchase 100 million catties!

There are 580 million catties of cotton left in my hand!

What's even more annoying is that this year, Voss King City actually pays taxes instead of cotton instead of paying silver taels!If you can't sell cotton, how can you pay tax!
Now those Daxuan people who instruct farming techniques are still clamoring for wages so that they can go home for the New Year. I heard that they plan to go to Wangcheng to find a job next year to help increase the production of cotton fields there, saying that the wages in Wangcheng are high.

Guli King Pazhuo is a little bit devastated now.

"Come on!" Padro yelled.

"My lord!" Xiri Ahong appeared in front of him with the welt marks on his face.

"You go to Chuqing! Tell her, it's still Qiwen! Let her take it all! If you put it down, it will rot!" Pazhuo can't calm down the impatience in his heart now except for shouting.

"But...all their caravans have withdrawn!" Xiri Ahong reminded carefully.

People take what should be collected, exchange what should be exchanged, sell what should be sold, and return with a full load.

"Snapped!"

Another blow of the whip made a hole in the clothes on Xiri Ahong's shoulders.

"Yes! The lord calm down! The slave will go after him!" Xiri Ahong said with pain.

This side got angry, and Jiangnan Meng's family didn't stop.

The head of the house, Meng Chun, is over 50 years old, well maintained, and looks like he is in his early forties.

At this moment, he was twirling a piece of cotton cloth three fingers wide in his hand, furious: "It took five days for just this one piece of cloth? One piece of plain silk should be produced in five days!"

"Master, it takes a lot of effort to spin this cotton into thread..." the woman in charge of the weaving room explained uneasily.

But as soon as the conversation started, the cotton cloth was thrown on her head.

"For a piece of cotton, you don't need to raise silkworms, and you don't need to reel silk. Weaving cotton cloth is actually slower than making silk!" Meng Chun shouted.

"My lord, it's hard to get the cotton wool out of the thread, and it breaks as soon as it's pulled out. We also use their spinning wheel. As soon as it's shaken, the cotton thread breaks, and the spun thread is not smooth." The woman tried Report the actual situation.

"Master, why don't you get some weavers from them?" the butler suggested from the side.

After all, it is not a thing. Maybe it is not difficult to turn cotton into yarn, but there is no way to find it.

"It's all trash! The men over there can spin thread! You weavers who have been weavers for many years can't figure it out!" Meng Chun was still angry.

"Go! Send people to the north to buy or steal their looms and workers!" Meng Chun ordered.

The fire in Meng Chun's heart has been suppressed for more than a year!
A bitch, it's okay to damage a side branch of our Meng family, but she actually blocked the passage for smuggling iron ingots in the north of me!

He still has the face to enrich his caravan by confiscating the Meng family's property!
The point is, the emperor actually gave her the business license of iron and salt!

What's more, they still want to monopolize the cotton and wool business now!
Now, oil, wine, cloth, and wool have all entered the imperial palace. What's the matter, is this trying to squeeze out the business of my Meng family in Jiangnan?
And that guy Wu Jichang hasn't dealt with her yet!The Meng family provided for you and even married their daughter to your family, are they all given away for nothing?
This time, he wanted to use orders to crush Chu Qing, increase the purchase price of wool and cotton, let her passively increase costs, and drag down her money circulation.

But he didn't want to, the few villages with the most wool on Hesot's side didn't cooperate with him.

And Tu Huerte, that good-for-nothing fat man, who can't even negotiate, didn't grasp this deal clearly!Chu Qing's wealth was not corrupted!

In the end, the goal was not achieved, and I had to buy 100 million catties of useless cotton, but it still ruined the credit of my Meng family!

What do I want so much cotton for!Our family started from silk!

…………

Chu Qing's luggage was packed, but he couldn't set off as planned, because King Gu Li sent someone here, waiting for Chu Qing to meet him at Baoqingsheng Beizhan.

Chu Qing didn't want to talk about it, but Xiaobao jumped up and said, "Mother, let me go and see you? What if he wants to sell us cotton at the original price?"

"That's not necessary. We have too much cotton this year, not enough labor, and my mother has no money to live on." Chu Qing said.

"Why not!" Xiaobao took out a stack of banknotes, "Here, I opened the 'Food Street' here, and collected the bill by the way, so that they won't have to bring banknotes on the road when they go home at the end of the year, which is not safe!"

"When the time comes, you will collect the bill!" Chu Qing said in a reproachful tone. Isn't this delaying the boys' business?

"What's the matter! Don't you have to collect this month's income and next month's income! Aren't you in a hurry to spend money this year? I'll collect the account, so you can know what you want to do!" Xiaobao said.

There was still something in the little boy's heart that he couldn't bear to say: "Many of the veterans in our family are better at business than mother."

"What do you want so much cotton for? This year we'll be able to dispose of it!" Chu Qing said.

"Mother, why are you planting so much cotton?" Xiaobao asked.

"So that everyone has cotton clothes to wear." Chu Qing said, seeming to understand Xiaobao's meaning: "You want to say that collecting more cotton will allow more people to wear cotton clothes and use cotton cloth, right? ?

Have you ever thought about it, whether it is cotton or cotton cloth, not everyone can afford it, even if you can buy more cotton this time, it still cannot be used by the common people;”

Xiaobao nodded: "But, we can hire more people to work, so they can earn money? When they have money, their life will be easier. When we have cloth, we can make money. This is not everyone's satisfaction. thing?"

"Well, you say that, it seems very reasonable."

"Of course it makes sense!"

"Okay, then you go see me."

"Okay! Ah yes, let's go!"

　Chu Qing: I try to make money.

　　Xiaobao: You are not as good at making money as your brothers.
