Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 279 Buying Cloth
Although Qiaoyun has money in hand, buying land is not like other things, there must be an opportunity, and there is no point in worrying.So Qiaoyun relaxed her mind and waited for the news slowly. Anyway, there is still a long time before the beginning of spring, as long as the cotton can be planted in the beginning of next year.

While waiting, Qiaoyun was not idle, and took Chuntao and the others out for a stroll from time to time.She is not very familiar with this Haining state yet, since she wants to live here now, she has to look around and get familiar with it.The last time I was here, I only spent a day with Qing Lei and the others, and then went to sea. Now that I am free, it is not bad to walk around.

Of course, Qiaoyun still has some purpose, mainly to go to places like silk and satin shops and embroidery shops. She wants to have a general understanding of the local textile industry.After a few days of inquiring and visiting, Qiaoyun has somewhat understood some of the situations around Haining Prefecture.

Haining Prefecture is located in the northern and southern provinces of the Great Liao River and belongs to Huai'an Road. It is considered a lower state, and it also governs four counties.According to the geographical distribution of Qiaoyun's previous life, it should belong to the East China region, which is the most suitable place for crops such as cotton and wheat to grow. This is one of the reasons why Qiaoyun chose to stay here in the first place.

Because Haining Prefecture is close to the sea, it has a large natural port. The sea transportation of the Liao Dynasty basically started from here, so most of the local people are engaged in related labor.The prosperity of shipping has attracted countless merchants from other places, and also boosted the local economy.

At the same time, precisely because of its proximity to the sea, while business flourishes, it also inhibits the development of agriculture.The people near the state city are engaged in agricultural planting and breeding, a minority, and most of them work at the wharf.

To the west of Haining Prefecture City is a hilly and plain area, where the people mainly rely on agriculture.People grow wheat and other food crops, and at the same time grow mulberry and silkworms, and pick tea to make tea.

Such a superior geographical environment is very beneficial for Qiaoyun to develop the textile industry.Especially when Qiaoyun saw the fabrics in the local silk and satin factory, she became more confident.

The temperature in September has gradually turned a little cold, so Qiaoyun took people out to buy this day, planning to buy autumn and winter clothes and fabrics for everyone in the house.Having already inquired about the price two days ago, Qiao Yun also had a certain goal in mind, so this time she went straight to the shop she had chosen.

Don't worry about Qiaoyun, Qinglei, and Xiaoshitou's clothes, Chu Ruifeng has already ordered people to prepare them, and all kinds of good materials have been delivered to the house in the past few days.What Qiaoyun wants to buy is what the servants and guards in the mansion wear.

The servants in the house each have two sets of autumn clothes and two sets of winter clothes, most of which are made of fine linen or fine Gebu.The treatment of those guards is basically similar.

Now there are more than 100 people in the house, including servants and guards. The clothes worn by so many people need a lot of fabric.After Qiaoyun reported the number, the boy in the cloth village heard it, and hurriedly invited the shopkeeper to come out.

Of course, the treasurer of the cloth village didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly invited Qiaoyun to the back hall to entertain him. This is a big customer, so he has to win him over.However, the treasurer of the cloth shop also felt strange. He basically knew all the wealthy families in Haining Prefecture. The one in front of him was obviously a little girl. Which family's daughter was this?At a young age, you can take charge of housework?

Although the shopkeeper was curious, he didn't dare to ask random questions. He just discussed things with Qiao Yun in a very modest manner.Qiaoyun wanted so much cloth, so there must be some discounts on the price, and the shopkeeper is also a very good man, before Qiaoyun asked to lower the price, he lowered the price.

Qiaoyun already knew these things well, so the two parties quickly reached an agreement, "Then trouble shopkeeper Wu, please send the quantity I requested directly to Liuli Lane in the east of the city." With so much cloth, Qiaoyun would not Foolishly, he got it back by himself, and of course he had to deliver it from Buzhuang.

"That's that, girl, don't worry. I'll tell people to distribute the goods according to the girl's request. This afternoon, I will definitely be able to deliver them to the house." When the five shopkeepers heard Liuli Lane, they knew that the identity of the person in front of him might not be true. generally.The people living there were all rich and noble families, so their attitude became more respectful.

After talking about the matter, Qiaoyun paid half of the deposit, and the other half waited for the cloth to be delivered, and then settled after checking that there was no problem. "In that case, I'll go back first. Shopkeeper Wu, we still have opportunities to cooperate again in the future, I hope shopkeeper Wu won't let me down." Qiaoyun said with a smile as she stood up and walked out.

"That is, that is, the girl is so trustworthy, so naturally I dare not lie to the girl. When the cloth is delivered, the girl can inspect it for herself. If there is even the slightest mistake, I would like to pay double to the girl." The shopkeeper Wu is not either. Ordinary people naturally don't want to miss such an opportunity, so they repeatedly promised.

"Okay, then I'll wait in the mansion. Shopkeeper Wu stays for a while, and the little girl is leaving." After Qiaoyun finished speaking, she came out of the cloth village with Chuntao and others.

It's still early, and there's nothing serious about it today, so Qiaoyun just took the girls for a stroll outside.Not far away, I saw a group of people gathered not far ahead, I don't know what it is.

"Girl, there seems to be some excitement ahead, why don't we go and have a look." Xia He is a little younger, not as stable as Chun Tao, seeing so many people in front of her now, she couldn't help being curious again, and wanted to join in the fun .

Qiaoyun frowned, "It's better not to go, we are all women, if we get into trouble, it won't be good." Qiaoyun's personality has always been like this, she has no curiosity about many things, and she doesn't like to cause trouble.

When Xia He heard it, she couldn't help shrugging her shoulders, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

"Let's go, let's go around, no matter what is inside, it has nothing to do with us." After saying that, Qiao Yun led the crowd forward, intending to bypass those in front.

But at this time, I suddenly heard the voice of a woman crying among the crowd, "I beg you kind people, please save my husband, I beg you."

There was also a woman's voice, which was also crying at this time, "Please everyone, my brother didn't know what was going on, but he passed out suddenly. We all escaped from other places and were penniless. I have no relatives here, and now my brother is so unconscious, my sister-in-law and I really have nothing to do."

"The doctor in the medical center saw that we had no money and refused to treat my brother, so he kicked us out. Please kind people, give us a little money so that we can treat my brother."
