Chapter 399: Tell me to help
readx;??? Some of them even filled the quilt cover without removing the cottonseeds, and as a result, on a southerly day in spring or in March and April, when there was a lot of rain, because of the humidity and the moisture in the air, the hair actually sprouted in the quilt......
In short, everything!
There is also a person who also had the courage to dedicate himself to the county magistrate, but was angrily blasted out of the county government by the county magistrate in the name of "intentional teasing", which caused countless people to laugh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The county magistrate saw that the so-called "quilt" that was obviously lower than the one sent by Lian Fangzhou and obviously didn't know how many grades and was clearly confused, can he not be angry!
The shrewd businessmen who were best at finding business opportunities immediately saw that they were making money and began to buy cotton on a large scale.
At first, the price was not high, firstly, I felt that the countrymen were honest and coaxing, and secondly, I felt that all the farmers in the county had planted, although this thing had never been seen, but in fact it was not rare, where was it worth paying a high price to buy?
Of course, if you buy it and sell it as a quilt, the price will definitely not be low.
Not only will it not be low, but it will be very high and high.
Who knows that most of the people were resistant when they first planted this cotton, and they didn't know how to serve it, so it was unreasonable for this growth to be good!
The most important thing is that it has not been topped, and the results are naturally rare. Not only few, but also small.
In this way, the number is really not much.
In addition, although the countrymen are easy to coax, as soon as the matter of the quilt spreads, who is willing to sell the cotton after receiving it?
The most feared thing for the poor is to survive the winter, and some cannot afford to buy felt blankets or kapok quilts, so they can only cover soft mats made of straw or animal skins such as dog skins and cowhides.
Now that there is cotton, and it is produced in their own fields, and they don't have to spend money to buy it, they don't have enough money to make quilts in their homes, who would be willing to sell it?
Even if the price is very tempting, most people resist the temptation.
So after a round of turns, the merchants, who had received far less than they could have imagined, had to raise the purchase price.
At the beginning of the competition between each other, the price became higher and higher, and by the end of September, it had reached the point of eight taels of silver per pound of cotton!
Such a high price finally made most people unable to resist the temptation and sold it!
Lian Fangzhou learned the news and specially sent a letter to Fang Qing and Su Jinghe, saying that the price would remain unchanged according to the previously agreed price, and the selling price of the quilt would not change.
Fang Qing and Su Jinghe quickly replied to her, naturally saying that they had no objections.
The two of them and Master Su couldn't help but sigh, and treated her more sincerely. After all, it is not easy to be dazzled by wealth in this world, especially those who are not rich in the first place.
Now that the autumn harvest has passed, and cotton is the busiest time for the harvest, Lian Fangzhou has finally hired enough people to pick it. Twenty or so men were hired to remove cottonseeds.
60,000 catties have been sent to the Su family, all of which have been removed from the cottonseeds. There are also 3,000 quilts made by their own workers, with two specifications: seven catties and eight catties.
Because of borrowing the Su family's sales channels, Lian Fangzhou reduced each quilt by five taels of silver to the Su family, but Fang Qing and Su Jinghe couldn't help it, and she had no choice but to accept it.
Even so, the cotton and quilt sent over this month earned more than 500,000 taels!
And the various costs incurred as a result are basically negligible in the face of this astronomical figure.
Fortunately, everyone saw that the swaggering horse convoy was transporting cotton to the Su family, but they only thought that the Su family had planted it by Lian Fangzhou's hands, and they didn't know that Lian Fangzhou had made such a fortune, which saved her a lot of trouble, so there was no need to bother with this.
As for the Su family, who would dare to fight their family's idea?
That night, after Lian Li's family had dinner, Lian Hai said to Qiao's: "Mother, tomorrow the two of us will also go to Fangzhou to help them pick cotton!" ā
"What did you say!" Qiao jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and shouted angrily, "You let me go and pick cotton for her!" ā
"You are not allowed to go, our family is not short of those wages, you are serious to work hard at home!" Lian Li also said.
The two of them looked at each other, and their hearts were a little sour.
The cotton affair can be said to be the most sensational and eye-catching thing today.
Lian Li and Qiao's hearts were envious, jealous and hateful to Lian Fangzhou, and the two of them were in a state of limp because of this, and they didn't eat well or sleep well for several days.
Although both of them think that Lian Fangzhou is just working for the Su family, with such a big benefit, the Su family is leaking between their fingers, which is enough for ordinary people to eat and dress for several years!
This dead girl is really lucky!
Qiao's heart was full of discomfort, and she wanted to ask how much silver the Su family had given to Lian Fangzhou, and even Qing'er asked, but unfortunately no one told her what she wanted to know.
She's not happy in her heart! is cursing, I wish Lian Fangzhou was unlucky! But the son asked himself to help her, didn't he poke her heart, liver and lungs with a knife!
"It's not a matter of a few wages!" Lian Hai frowned, and said: "Anyway, I have my own reason for how to do it, and you will know when the time comes!" Mother, it's okay if you don't go, I'll go tomorrow anyway! ā
"You!" Qiao Shi was so angry that he suffocated his chest, and said in a trembling voice: "You, are you still my son!" If you don't help me teach that dead girl to be angry, you still force me to bow to her! I'm not going! You are not allowed to go! If you dare to go, I-I-"
Qiao's I didn't know how to threaten my son for a long time.
Lian Li, who pondered for a moment, suddenly grabbed Qiao's and nodded, "Go!" Then go for it! Reasoning, we are a family, and we should also go and help! It's always incomparable, and it's not as good as outsiders, isn't it? Ah Hai, just go to your mother for this kind of thing like picking cotton, let's go and ask if there is anything else to help, this time Fangzhou has hired so many people, shouldn't someone take care of these people? What if they steal cotton! We are also thinking about Fangzhou! ā
Qiao Shi was about to fight her husband in anger, but when she heard this, her eyes rolled and she was silent.
To say that this cotton seed was of course not sold to Lian Fangzhou at the beginning, and was scattered in the ground by herself.
But he didn't take care of it, and left it to fend for himself.
When the cotton incident was in full swing, the two of them rushed to the field to look. I was dumbfounded, half of them didn't know when they died, and the remaining half were sparse and sparse in the weeds to survive, and the cotton peaches were not only scarce, but also thin, and I didn't know how many catties there were when I picked them!
Both of them were very disappointed, and they complained to each other about it. I have a grudge against the harvest of Lian Fangzhou's family.
At this time, Lian Li's word "stealing" made Qiao's mind come alive.
