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

Chapter 337
The purpose of Qiaoyun coming to Muyang is, one is to plant cotton, and the other, of course, is to find a place to build a weaving workshop.Weaving workshops cannot be located on fertile land. It is best to find wasteland near the river. This kind of land will not waste the cultivated land. Moreover, it is relatively cheap and pays less tax.

Of course, it should be a little closer to the county seat, preferably if there are not too many nearby villages, and it will be more convenient to employ people in the future.But in this way, the location may not be easy.

Fortunately, both Qiaoyun and Chu Ruifeng had nothing to do, so they wandered around Muyang County, walking around and looking around, which was regarded as a tour of mountains and rivers.Chu Ruifeng's injuries recovered quickly and did not affect his actions at all.In addition, he is about to go to sea, and he especially cherishes the time spent with Qiaoyun. Wherever the two of them go, they are inseparable.

At the beginning of February, it is the time when spring returns to the earth.The local temperature warms up relatively quickly, the sun is good, and it is warm.To be honest, it's really nice to take a walk outside.With Chu Ruifeng's company, Qiaoyun is also very happy. They just go out for a walk every day, and they count wherever they go.It's not just for choosing a place, anyway, while eating and playing, I also look at the terrain everywhere.

After wandering around for seven or eight days, I finally saw four or five places.But it was impossible for them to choose every one of them, so they asked someone who is good at Feng Shui to help them look at them. After considering many aspects, they finally chose a location.

Speaking of which, this place is really not far from Qiaoyun's Zhuangzi, just downstream of one of the rivers, and the distance between the two places is only about seven or eight miles.There is a river in front of this place, and a few hills behind it. The geographical location is good, and the Feng Shui master also said that it is a good place to gather money.

Qiao Yun was really satisfied with this place, and after discussing with Chu Ruifeng, they settled on it.For the next thing, Chu Ruifeng needs to come forward.So Chu Ruifeng took people to Muyang County, found the magistrate of Muyang County, and negotiated to buy the land.

The land used by the weaving workshop is not too large, in fact, it only needs 150 to [-] mu, which is very good.However, Qiaoyun was optimistic about the mountain behind it, and the weaving workshop also used a lot of water, so it was necessary to control the water source.Therefore, after discussion, it was decided to buy about [-] mu of land nearby.In this way, apart from building the weaving workshop, Qiaoyun planned to plant some fruit trees in the rest of the place, anyway, just to occupy the land.

The price of wasteland is cheap, less than one-third of the price of good land, and there is no tax for five years.This is undoubtedly a good thing for Qiaoyun, and it saves a lot of expenses.So Qiaoyun happily bought the land with the money, and then began to take people to tidy up there, and prepared materials, planning to build a weaving workshop.

Qiaoyun's weaving workshop here mainly focuses on cotton spinning, and basically does not plan to get involved in silk.After all, the competitiveness of southern silk is still very high.Although Qiaoyun's craftsmanship is good, and she still has a lot of unique skills to press the bottom of the box, but for now, she doesn't plan to start with silk fabrics, it's better to be more specific.

This season starts to prepare materials to build a house, and then hires people to make various textile printing and dyeing tools, etc. It is estimated that everything is ready, and basically it will be almost autumn.At that time, cotton just came down. Although only about [-] acres of cotton were planted this year, as long as everything goes well, it is estimated that there will be a large yield.At that time, Qiaoyun will take people with him and work slowly.

Perhaps this cotton textile industry will not be able to flourish within three to five years.But Qiaoyun believes that as long as she perseveres slowly and waits for people to realize the advantages of cotton products, there will definitely be a different situation.Still the same sentence, Qiaoyun is not short of money now, this should be regarded as one of her dreams, and it is worthwhile to wait a few more years to work hard for the dream.

Building a weaving workshop cannot be completed in a day or two, and requires a lot of investment in the early stage. Fortunately, the money in Qiaoyun's hand is still enough, so there is no need to be too embarrassing.Not to mention, Chu Ruifeng was watching all the time, and Chu Ruifeng led the guards to do these things, so Qiao Yun didn't need to worry too much.

In a blink of an eye, Qiaoyun and the others stayed at Zhuangzi's side for more than a month.The preliminary planning of the weaving workshop and the materials needed are basically the same. The next step is to hire workers and start building the house.It's already the end of February, and it's almost March. Every household has basically planted all the crops in the field, so it's not too difficult to hire people.

On February 28th, Qiaoyun, Chu Ruifeng and others were holding the blueprints of the weaving workshop and explaining the general layout of the weaving workshop to the hired masons and foremen.Suddenly, many people came from a distance, the leader was Qing Lei, followed by Qing Xiao Qing Yun and others.

This time Qinglei didn't come to Muyang with him, there are still many things going on in Haining, and someone needs to be in charge.In addition, Yuerong was not pregnant for a long time, so Chu Ruifeng left Qinglei at Haining's side.I think it's because Qing Xiao and the others have already made all the preparations for going to sea, and they came to Haining to meet, so Qing Lei brought them to Muyang.

Sure enough, when the crowd approached, Qing Xiao and the others stepped forward to salute, "Master, everything has been prepared for going to sea, and the envoys from various countries have also lived in Haining, and now we are waiting for the master to set a date to go to sea. "

Chu Ruifeng had already known these things, and when he saw Qing Xiao and the others, he nodded. "You guys take a rest here today, and we'll rush back tomorrow. On the third day of March, the fleet will go to sea."

It is a foregone conclusion that Chu Ruifeng will go to sea, and it cannot be changed, so he can only set off earlier and try to come back as soon as possible.Chu Ruifeng is not the kind of person who procrastinates. Although he is very reluctant to part with Qiaoyun, this is a matter related to the court of the country, and it is really not the time for children to love each other.

"Yun'er, do you want to go back to Haining together?" Chu Ruifeng turned his head and asked Qiaoyun.

Although she had been prepared for a long time in her heart, Qiaoyun still felt uncomfortable when she was about to face parting. She looked at Chu Ruifeng and shook her head, "No, it's the season of planting cotton here, and there are still many things to do in the field." Busy. Plus the weaving workshop here, I don’t feel at ease, so I’d better stay here. Siyuan, take care of everything when you go to sea.”

They have said everything they need to say in getting along these days, even if they want to part, there is nothing to tell them.Although Qiao Yun was reluctant to leave Chu Ruifeng, but this was really out of their hands, since they had no choice, they could only face it calmly.Qiaoyun didn't want to go back to send Chu Ruifeng off, she felt that it would be too sad, there were so many things to do in front of her, she was too busy to think about it, but it would be better.

Chu Ruifeng and Qiaoyun have the same mind, so he naturally understands Qiaoyun's meaning. In fact, he doesn't really want Qiaoyun to follow him back and forth, "Okay, then you stay, or if you follow me, I don't even want to leave "Yun'er, you have to be more careful, or those few words, take care."
