Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 318

The news of Chang'an has always spread quickly.

After the news that Qin Tian hatched a chick spread in Chang'an, many people actually became interested in raising chickens.

In the past, no one raised chickens, mainly because the efficiency was too poor, and there were not many chickens to raise.

But if it can hatch now, it can be raised on a large scale.

More people will eat chicken in the future, and they can all make money from it.

And when these people were thinking about raising chickens, Qin Tian didn't think about revealing the technology of raising chickens.

It's not that he doesn't want to reveal it, but that this thing is very complicated, and not everyone can learn it casually.

Moreover, if the technology is revealed, he can't make much money.

He came up with the idea of ​​selling chickens.

If other people want to raise chickens, they must need chicklings. He has chicklings, so it’s okay to sell them?
Selling chicklings is relatively profitable, and more chickens will be raised in the future, so the price will be relatively easy to control.

Anyway, they can't raise so many chickens.

After having this idea, Qin Tian talked to Qin Wu and asked him to be responsible for this aspect.

And when Qin Tian said this, he returned to Hou Junji in the mansion, and after several considerations, he finally came to Gongsun Sanniang's room.

Hou Junji hid the bet from Gongsun Sanniang, but now that he lost, he probably couldn't hide it.

After coming to the room, he frantically asked for it from Gongsun Sanniang once.

After he vented everything, he told Gongsun Sanniang about the situation.

Gongsun Sanniang sat on the bed and listened, her hair was a little messy, her eyes were a little blurred, and then she couldn't help crying.

She knew that her status was humble, but she had always felt that after becoming Hou Junji's concubine, she would at least have a stable residence.

But now it seems that no, she is just a man's plaything.

Sorrow spread in the bottom of my heart.

Hou Junji stood up from the bed: "Soon, someone will take you to Cheng's residence."

After finishing speaking, Hou Junji got up and left. To him, women were just playthings. Maybe he likes this plaything very much and he is a bit reluctant.

But women are still toys.

The room became quiet, and Gongsun Sanniang suddenly smiled slightly, and then she took down a short knife hanging on the wall.

It was given to her by Hou Junji the night she first became Hou Junji's concubine.

The knife is very sharp, and she has always regarded it as a treasure.

As time passed, the people sent by Hou Junji pushed open the door of Gongsun Sanniang's room, but they only saw a bloody corpse.

The people who came in were terrified and ran out in a hurry.

"Master, it's not good, Gongsun Sanniang committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Hou Junji's expression changed suddenly, showing a hint of sadness, but after a while, he sighed again: "San Niang, why did you do this?"

Sad?
No, Hou Junji didn't feel that kind of heart-wrenching grief, on the contrary, he was a little lucky, because Cheng Yaojin would not want a dead person.

If not, his reputation of Hou Junji would be preserved.

After all, it is a very shameful thing to give one's own woman to other people.

Even, he once had this idea.
-
Hou Junji's housekeeper brought [-] yuan to Cheng Yaojin's house, and told Cheng Yaojin about the situation.

Money is for compensation.

When Cheng Yaojin heard that Gongsun Sanniang had died, he felt a little pity, such a beautiful person, otherwise tonight would be his.

But after seeing the money, he didn't pursue the matter too much.

He just scolded Hou Junji severely.

After all, no one has trouble with money.

The news of Gongsun Sanniang's suicide quickly spread in Chang'an City.

When Qin Tian heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh.

Tragedy still happened.

But if Hou Junji had listened to him, the situation would be different, right?
There may be many women in this world who follow the crowd, but it is not ruled out that some people have full of personality.

The bet between Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin that Gongsun Sanniang committed suicide was brought up by the officials the next morning, and many people stood up to impeach them both.

Because, as court officials, the behavior of the two of them is really shameful.

Facing the impeachment of the officials, Li Yuan could not just sit idly by, but he only punished them a little, and then the matter was left alone.

The world is like this, even if this matter has a bad influence, not many people think it is a serious matter, at most it is a matter of style.

Time passed like this, the cotton was almost picked, and the beans began to be harvested.

The cotton was almost picked and dried, and the next step was to send it to Qinjia Village for cotton padding.

Li Jiancheng couldn't accept this situation at first. He even sent someone to try to steal the cotton plucking technology. However, Qin Tian's guards were tight, and Li Jiancheng was helpless.

Other dignitaries in Chang'an City began to send cotton, but Li Jiancheng was still reluctant because of face.

However, Qin Tian has a way to cure him.

When the rich and powerful sent almost all the cotton, Qin Tian said for a certain time, after August [-]th, he would no longer accept any cotton sent by anyone.

In other words, after August [-]th, they will stop doing this business, and those who want to stockpile cotton should do so.

Song Gongqing was a little anxious when he saw this situation.

"His Royal Highness, winter is coming soon, and your people are all waiting to put on quilts. If you want your subordinates to tell you, you should send someone to deliver them."

These cotton-padded clothes and quilts, except for the cost of the East Palace, the rest of Li Jiancheng will be given to those people who are attached to him, so as to win them over.

But if there is no cotton to give them in the end, then Li Jiancheng will break his promise.

Although those people didn't dare to do anything to Li Jiancheng, if they lost their hearts, they might face sudden betrayal in an inadvertent moment.

Li Jiancheng was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

Song Gongqing quickly took orders, and then sent someone to send the sun-dried cotton to Qinjia Village.

The Qinjia Village suddenly became lively, and many people came and went every day, either to bring cotton or to bring back the cotton that had been plucked.

This kind of excitement was rare in the past, but according to their estimates, this situation may last until a month later.

There is no way, there is too much cotton, although picking cotton is fast, but with so much cotton, it will take them a month to complete.

Fu Bo and several accountants are busy here every day, waiting to record the situation of the cotton, so that they can settle accounts later.

With the harvest of cotton and soybeans, the entire outside of Chang'an City suddenly became much more empty.
