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

Chapter 575 Development of Zhifang

When Qiaoyun arrived in Muyang, he got busy. The cotton in the Zhuangzi had to be harvested and dried for storage, and the cotton grown by many big families in Muyang County had to be purchased in grades.However, the size of the original weaving workshop was not very large. With so much cotton, the warehouse was obviously not enough.

Fortunately, Qiaoyun had already made preparations. In the spring, Qiaoyun notified Shopkeeper Han in the Northeast to send someone over to build another weaving workshop in Muyang.Qiaoyun's personality has always been like this, no matter what she does, she only seeks safety.The three caves of the cunning rabbit, looking at the Chu family is indeed very good, who knows what will happen in the future?It's better to keep it handy.

Shopkeeper Han was a dark move by Chu Ruifeng, no one knew of his existence, and if Shopkeeper Han stepped forward to build another weaving workshop, it would not attract the attention of others.Since the imperial court intends to develop the vicinity of Muyang into a major cotton producing area, it is not uncommon for there to be more weaving workshops.Businessmen are all profit-seeking. Seeing that the profits of cotton textiles are not small, who is not tempted?
Not to mention shopkeeper Han, because of the cotton, Muyang County has many more merchants. They are secretly trying to find a way to get cotton weaving skills, and then get a share of it.When Qiaoyun came to Muyang last time, Lin Bokang said that many people had come to talk to him and wanted to pay a high price to lure Lin Bokang away.

In this case, shopkeeper Han came to build the weaving workshop first, which was equivalent to seizing the opportunity, and at the same time gave Qiaoyun a step back.This year when buying cotton, Ah Qing and others sent by shopkeeper Han deliberately made trouble with Qiaoyun, and joined in the fun to collect cotton.Otherwise, why would Lin Bokang get angry and call Qiao Yun here?

After Lin Bokang met Qiaoyun and told Qiaoyun the situation here, Qiaoyun couldn't stop laughing to himself.However, she did not tell Lin Bokang that she also arranged it on purpose.Lin Bokang is indeed very reliable, but he can't tell him everything. If Lin Bokang accidentally reveals it one day, Qiaoyun's painstaking efforts will be in vain.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry. I have already expected this kind of thing. Once cotton is recognized by everyone, the cotton textile industry will definitely develop vigorously. Our weaving workshop is not large, and we want to monopolize the profits of cotton textiles." , that is impossible. Besides, this technique is not too difficult, it can be easily learned by others.”

"It doesn't matter, our weaving workshop has already taken the lead, and the cotton cloth also comes out of us. Besides, I still have a lot of skills that I have not used. If others want to surpass it, it is not too late. Maybe, don't worry."

Qiaoyun didn't intend to be the only one family at first, cotton cloth is a common commodity, in fact, the profit is not that high, and last year it was just taking advantage of what no one else had.As long as the cotton cloth is obtained by someone who is familiar with weaving, it can be understood after a few days of study.

I have what others have, and I am new when others have it. This is the way of development. Qiaoyun is not afraid of others learning. The more people participate, the faster the cotton textile industry can develop.Otherwise, even if her small weaving workshop monopolizes all the cotton in its own hands, how much can it produce?

After listening to Qiaoyun's persuasion, Lin Bokang finally felt relieved, "I just listen to Madam, and Lin will do whatever Madam arranges." In this way, the two weaving workshops appeared to compete for cotton, but in fact, But they maintained a certain kind of tacit understanding with each other, and did not make a fuss about the price to compete fairly.

There are two weaving workshops to purchase, and the cotton produced in Muyang County is naturally not left. After harvesting, the cotton is purchased by the weaving workshop and put into storage.Naturally, the price is not bad, compared to the income of farming is better.And the common people also know that cotton can be mixed with wheat, which will double the income. Many people have made an agreement with the weaving workshop to buy cottonseed from the weaving workshop at that time.

Normally, cottonseed can be extracted for oil.The squeezed oil can be used as lamp oil or for other purposes, but the crudely squeezed cottonseed oil is not edible and can easily lead to infertility.However, cotton has only just begun to become popular now, and the common people see the benefits of cotton planting, and many people want to plant it. At this time, cotton seeds must be kept as seeds.

It is useless to leave so many cottonseeds on the weaving workshop. Since the people are willing to buy back, it is naturally good.So Lin Bokang, A Qing and others agreed, and after the seed cotton was rolled out, the seeds could be sold to various families.

Cotton is purchased and put into storage, and the weaving workshop begins to select and grade, and then ginning and popping other processes.Although shopkeeper Han's weaving workshop was newly opened, Qiaoyun's guidance was behind his back, and Aqing and the others managed to poach several experienced female workers from the weaving workshop, so those processes were not unfamiliar.It didn't take long to basically master the skills.

For this situation, Lin Bokang couldn't help being a little angry, but Qiaoyun said no at all, and Lin Bokang couldn't help it.Anyway, he only needs to manage the weaving workshop well. As for the rest, the owner is not in a hurry, and it is useless for him to be in a hurry.

Fortunately, Qiaoyun came up with several new tricks, which made Lin Bokang's eyes shine, "With Madam's craftsmanship, no matter how many weaving workshops we open, we will not be compared by others." Lin Bokang said to Qiaoyun Yun is still very confident, and now he is happy again.

When the new cotton came out, the female workers in the weaving workshop got busy. Qiaoyun had to stay in the weaving workshop for a while to give pointers to the female workers in the weaving workshop.The eldest princess is also very curious about the cotton, so she often follows her, watching Qiaoyun pointing out the female workers, and then watching Bai Shengsheng's cotton turn into yarn, weave into cloth bit by bit, and then dye the finished product.

The eldest princess, who has never been in contact with these things, is very curious about all these things. She often asks Qiaoyun about this and that, and Qiaoyun patiently explains one by one. happy.

When she is free, Qiaoyun will also accompany the eldest princess to go around.The scenery here is not bad, especially at this moment, the red leaves all over the mountain, the scenery is very beautiful.In addition, all kinds of fruits and nuts are the season for harvesting, and all kinds of food are produced on the mountain behind the weaving workshop and on the Zhuangzi.The eldest princess lives here, and she really feels a little bit reluctant to leave.

Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, Qiaoyun and Princess Chang lived in Zhuangzi for more than a month, and Dongyue arrived just like that.Dongyue on Muyang's side is not very cold, but Princess Chang and Qiao Yun have been out for a long time, and it's time to return to the capital.I don't know how the battle in Nanshao is going?Plus it's almost Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of things to do in the twelfth lunar month, so we can't always play outside.

On the eighth day of the first month of winter, Princess Chang and Qiao Yun set off from Muyang and returned to the capital all the way back to the capital with people and more than a dozen carts of cotton cloth and other things.Back to Beijing this time, Qiao Yun didn't bring Xiao Shi, even Qing Lei and Yue Rong stayed here.There are a lot of things to do in the weaving workshop here, Lin Bokang is too busy, Qing Lei stays temporarily to help, and in addition, he also has to deal with various affairs on Haining's side.
