"This year, the price of cotton seedlings has risen, and Cangzhou seeds are more expensive than Taiyuan seeds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"What is the price of Cangzhou No. 2 seedlings?"

"It doesn't matter what the price is, let's start with a piece of land. It's going to be summer, and it's too late to plant again! ”

"Grab what, grab what?! If you rob Lao Tzu again, I will go to Luoyang next year, and tell those who are ministers to write to the emperor and take the cotton to the official camp! ”

"Into your mother's house, let your mother's bullshit! Hit him! Shoot him! ”

Cotton is planted at the turn of spring and summer, and there are a lot more cotton seedlings this year, and there are even more people who are willing to plant. Even if the price of the main seed cotton is low, it is more profitable to sell it than to grow wheat millet. It can almost triple to five times the profit, it all depends on whether the field is good or not.

The best cotton seedlings are Cangzhou No. 2, the high-yield area is near Wudigou, and the yield of interplanting wheat per mu can reach four stones, which is the yield of seed cotton. Lint can be stoned with one stone, but there are not many places that can be processed, and a cotton factory was set up during the reign of Xue Dading.

In many places, it is directly torn by hand, and the yield of lint is quite low, and the yield of seed cotton is three out of twenty or even lower. But cotton is really good, and white sugar is still in demand.

It can be said that the sugar market on the front foot of Luoyang was built, and those small households who did not compete for the "production capital" on the back foot immediately invested money in cotton.

It's a pity that this cotton seedling is not so easy to cultivate, and how to fertilize and supplement fertilizer is up to the people of China Resources. Another one, a kind of powder that China Resources got from overseas, mixed with manure, the highest yield of cotton per mu actually exploded to 12 stones, which is simply a panacea, and even Jia, who is good at farming, said that it is unheard of.

The powder came from overseas, and only Denglai Port could import it, and the wharf of Shicheng Iron and Steel Factory was not entered, so the five surnames and seven big families could only stare dryly.

For a while, there were also rumors that it was nothing more than the spells of overseas immortals, the skills of foreign masters, and the story of "Bitter Chatter".

"Old customer, I'm sorry, today's seedlings are sold out. Another day, another day. ”

"Hey, stop! What day is the next day? I came from Hedong, Taiyuan didn't go, all the way to Hebei, if I can't buy it, I go back and cross the Yellow River and jump into the river to die. You can't do this, China Resources is a big shop, how can you still bully people? ”

"It's not a bully, old guest, this seedling is in the nursery, and it has to grow for a few days, and the seedling will not be allowed to emerge until Chenguang. I have the heart to give convenience to the old customers, but I have done this now, and I will be dismissed tomorrow. ”

"Then you give me a letter, I really can't wait, I got up before the light opened, this realm is outside the city, there is no curfew. But I never thought that there was someone who got up earlier than me, if there were no seedlings, I would go back this time, I was afraid that I would not be able to plant anything, if I couldn't plant, the debt I raised with Qian Zhuang would kill me immediately. Rather than being forced to die, it is better to jump into the river and die clean......"

"There is no quasi-letter, and the old customer might as well come back in three days. That's three days and four days. ”

"That's it, I'll come back in three days."

As if they were understanding each other, in the early morning of the next day, the Hedong people went to wait outside the seedling garden. Then as soon as the morning dawned, he jumped out one by one, and it was the same guy who opened the door, and the two looked at each other, both of them feeling extremely embarrassed.

"The old guest is here."

"Concession."

With the China Resources bill of exchange and ten hectares of cotton seedlings, the Hedong people went happily.

The people of Hedong rented a carriage and horse of the SF Express, rushed home before dawn, and invited a "running horse" to report to their hometown in Hedong first.

"Running horses" are people who deliver letters on horseback, and there are many disabled veterans or swordsmen in the SF, who are guaranteed by people and are under their command. The news was transmitted back to Hedong, and the manpower was also organized there, first inviting the chief steward of China Resources in charge of agriculture from Taiyuan, and transferring the good hands of the Jia family and Zhang's family to arrange the land planning first.

Eight ox plows, curved ploughs, pit drillers...... Some of them have to be rented, some have to be bought, when they are irrigated and watered, when they are fertilized and dewormed, they all have to spend money to listen to the arrangements of Jia's people.

In the past two years, Jia Fei's brothers, except for mixing with Jiupin or Liuwaiguan in some states and counties, these additional incomes are not worse than those in one state, which shows how powerful the profits of cotton are.

"The difference between cotton spinning and silk spinning is a bit big."

"Big brother, the cotton cloth dyed last year is easy to color in blue, and the black cloth is okay, but this purple is not as good as silk."

Jia Fei nodded, there was a glass test tube in his hand, and he shook the liquid inside, slowly turning into peacock green. Put the test tube on the test tube rack: "I can't do anything about it, but Zhang Gong once said that there are many people who use green cloth, and Zhu Zi asked the people of Chang'an to print it, so we don't have to mix it." ”

"By the way, big brother, I heard something from Taiyuan. And the last Duwei beheaded the Turks by 1,500, and expanded the land for 100 miles, where a new city was to be built. There is news that cotton is easy to grow. ”

"Master Xuanzang has used white cloth, and Zhang Gong also said that the cotton in the Western Regions should be in better condition, and when the news of the 'Huangguanzi' real person comes this year, whether you want to plant cotton or not, I will talk about it then."

"Also, I heard that the Han and Hu people live there, if the color is good, I am afraid that the Hu people will rebel."

"I'm very afraid, and the last lieutenant is his own person."

"Huh?"

"If you haven't heard this, count me as talking."

Jia Fei was silent, his brother was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I'm awake." ”

Cotton farming is not a one-place thing, because last year cotton was a big sell, and this year there are many people who want to buy it. Coupled with the establishment of the sugar market, the battle for "production capital" was unusually cruel and bloody, and those who were unable to fight again and had never participated in the war almost rushed to invest money in cotton.

Taking Huangpi County as an example, no matter how Senior Brother Xiaobai persuaded him, Huangpi County had 150,000 mu of land to be vacated to grow cotton. What made Senior Brother Xiaobai even more depressed was that these landlords took a large amount of money to lobby him, hoping that Senior Brother Xiaobai, as the chief official of Huangpi County, would help him go to Liangfeng County's male Zhang De to run the relationship and get cotton seedlings from 150,000 acres of land.

Originally, Lu Feibai didn't agree, and he didn't lack money, but what he never expected was that Senior Brother Xiaobai actually followed.

"Lu Lang, is your junior brother really so powerful?"

In the Huangpi County Government Office, Lu Feibai looked like a sage possessed by a sage, hugged the young girl who was as smooth as a white stripe, and then nodded distractedly: "It's not just powerful, the adult's health has not been good in the past few years, if it weren't for the maintenance of a famous doctor in Beijing...... I tell you, even the likes of imperial physicians, who are also used like slaves in their hands. ”

"Hiss......"

The girl was suddenly dumbfounded, and was speechless for a long time.

Lu Feibai said again: "Huangpi wants to grow cotton here, it's not that I have the final say, in fact, it doesn't count." Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the geology. Cotton can not be planted anywhere, let alone survived. For example, the Cangzhou pig in Hebei, its meat is delicious, compared with the lamb to win three points, no cattle and sheep fishy, it is simply the best. But why are Henan native pigs as cheap as mud? ”

"This is not a secret method?"

"How can there be anything that is not passed on, and how many people can learn it?"

"What Lu Lang said, isn't it an exaggeration?"

"Exaggeration? Do you know that the method of 'encircling the polder to create fields' was proposed as early as the sixth or seventh year of Zhenguan, but why is there so little effect? And if you take office for a year, there will be 200,000 acres of fertile land in Chuzhou this year? You are not in the capital, how do you know how powerful he is? ”

After that, Lu Feibai patted the girl's snow-white back, "Don't ask, go to sleep." ”
