Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 81 Who Is Shortsighted?

He has been the county magistrate in Rongshui County for three years, and this year is a crucial year. If he can do a few things with political achievements, his promotion will definitely not be a problem.

And this cotton farmer's problem is one of them!
But this time, he changed his target and bowed to Feng Yuchen, "Shopkeeper Feng, Mr. Feng, please persuade Mrs. Ling, no matter what, please help me with this matter?"

Feng Yuchen looked at Tong Xiaowu and took a step forward. He knew that just now the lady had decided to help them without throwing up her sleeves and leaving.

"Miss? Tell me what you think?"

He also wondered how his own woman could solve such a difficult problem.

"Well." She nodded and said, "I said before that there is a solution to this matter, but it may not be successful, because this method not only accumulates costs, but is also very troublesome."

Master Qi saw Tong Xiaowu opened his mouth, and stood up happily: "It's okay, it's okay, no matter what method, let's talk about it, let's take a closer look."

Anyway, what was said in the outer court could be heard inside, so Qi Hengyuan simply didn't enter the inner court, so as not to get angry when seeing those pedantic people.

Tong Xiaowu saluted slightly, turned around and sat on the chair on the other side, Qi Hengyuan hurriedly served tea.

"I heard that the purchase price of this catty of high-quality cotton is nine yuan, a little less eight yuan, and seven yuan. It is at least four hundred miles from our Rongshui County to Pingyi County. A cart of cotton is pulled there. The car costs at least one or two taels of silver for shipping, and the price of cotton in Ping’an County is slightly lower than that in our county, so we will definitely not be able to sell the cotton elsewhere.”

Tong Xiaowu first analyzed the market.

Zhang Lichang inside heard this, but snorted coldly: "Nonsense, who doesn't know this?"

Tong Xiaowu didn't care either, she helped Mr. Qi, firstly because Mr. Qi is a county magistrate with good character, and secondly, for the sake of the cotton farmers, anyway, it was just an idea, and she didn't suffer too much.

"The one inside is Mr. Zhang, isn't it? You always say I'm rude, and you don't let others interrupt after they finish talking, so you're always polite?" Tong Xiaowu rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and looked The appearance of fearing nothing.

Zhang Jiande was taken aback when he heard this, and just about to refute, the others also said, "Just listen quietly and shut up!"

Lord Qi also coughed heavily, the warning was very obvious.

Seeing that there was no movement inside, Tong Xiaowu said again: "We can find a way to sell cotton by ourselves."

Master Qi shook his head, "I explained this before. The famous weaving workshop in the county signed an agreement with the cotton farmers in the spring. The amount of cotton used this year is already enough, and it cannot eat the cotton of eleven villages at all."

"I'm not talking about this method, I'm talking about another way, we can set up rural cooperatives."

"Rural cooperatives?"

"Madam Tong? What does this rural cooperative mean?" Master Qi asked strangely.

"It means that eleven villages unite to spin the cotton from each household into thread, plan, design, brand, and weave it into cloth. We can sell it whether it is in the county or in other places. At that time, we don't have to Worried about shipping costs."

Lord Qi stood up, and the chiefs of several villages in the inner courtyard also came out, everyone, look at me, and I will look at you, this proposal is really the first time they have heard it.

Eleven villages united?It feels a little weird to think about it.

"It's easy to say..." Although Zhang Jiande doesn't quite understand the usefulness of the rural cooperatives, he has already heard something wrong:
"I thought it was a great idea? It turned out that the cotton farmers weaved and sold their own cloth. You said it so lightly. Do you know how much cloth a peasant woman weaves and how much thread she spins in a day?

A woman works hard day and night to weave cloth, and she can’t earn half a tael of silver in a month. Let’s not talk about the wages, let’s talk about the cloth. If you walk around in the county town, how much is what kind of cloth?Do you know how much cotton thread was used?

You want to buy it elsewhere, do you know the market in other places?Don't worry about the shipping fee, when I saw it, I couldn't even earn the shipping fee.

In the past, I had an uncle who was in the cloth business. Just like your method, you buy cotton by yourself, weave it yourself, and then sell it. A catty of cotton costs nine pennies, and the wages for spinning it into thread and weaving it into cloth are only a dozen pennies. , The cost of one meter of cloth is more than [-] Wen.

A meter of cloth only sells for [-] cents, how much money does a meter of cloth cost so much, how much is it?And what about shipping?

What do you earn besides wages?Weaving cloth and selling it by ourselves, these eleven villages are all mobilized, how much cloth will we weave?How much do you sell it for?Can it be sold?Where to sell it?
Where is the market?Now all cloth shops have their own purchase channels, let’s say Fengrui cloth shop, most of their cloth is produced by themselves or contacted by farmers for weaving. It is difficult to sell our products to their houses. Difficult! "

Zhang Jiande's face was scarlet, and his voice was louder than ever.

When other people heard this, they also talked a lot, and they all felt that what he said was very reasonable.

Tong Xiaowu laughed. She stood up and said, "Cotton costs nine cents a catty, and wages cost a dozen cents a meter of cloth. How much do you add together? That's more than twenty cents a catty of cotton for deep processing." In just one stroke, you have earned more than [-] yuan, aren't you satisfied?"

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied. The cloth we wove can be sold. If it can't be sold, it's in my hands. In the end, it's not just the harvest in the field, but also the working hours.

Weaving cloth for those people in the cloth shop, wages are wages, as long as you don’t make mistakes, the money will always be yours, but if you weave cloth yourself, if you can’t sell it, you may have nothing! "

"Yes, if that happens, we will lose even more!" Others also echoed.

"What if the cloth we weave is not available in the market? What if it is a cloth that has not appeared in the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom? How much can it be sold for? Do you still need to sell it? Are you worried about the shipping cost?
Thirty cash for coarse cloth, how much for fine cloth, and how much for silk yarn?How much is the satin material?You only see a market of [-] Wen, but you can’t see a market of [-] Wen, [-] Wen, or even a tael of silver per meter cloth?Say I am short-sighted and a woman, I think you are not even as good as a woman..."

Tong Xiaowu's voice also doubled.

Everyone fell silent, and Zhang Jiande was also taken aback by what the other party said, and he didn't react for a long time.

The corners of Qi Hengyuan's mouth raised, the previous worries had disappeared, and her words made sense.

Zhang Jiande was dissatisfied. In his eyes, no matter what she said, she was still a woman.

　I just found out today why I can't see your message?It turns out that it is during the National Day silence, please wait a little longer, I will be able to see what you said in a few days, wait a minute!

　　Still the same sentence, vote for those who have recommended votes!Thanks……
