The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 265 Getting Rich All Around (Part [-])
"Take it to various towns and sell it. It doesn't need to be too expensive. Try to let every family buy some." Su Tang ordered.

Three or four hundred silkworms can be hatched from one silkworm chrysalis. If a family buys less and raises a few crops, they can reproduce a lot. You don’t have to worry about the quantity at all. Just multiply slowly as much as you want.

Su Tang took out two more books and handed them to Liu Zhonglin, "One is how to make a loom, which can be handed over to the Ye family to help make it, and the other is how to weave silk and satin, and a book will be built on the south bank of Yanyang City later. Textile factories, with these high-quality silkworm chrysalis, can do silk and satin business."

As a big silk country, China's textile industry has developed to an unprecedented height, relying on soft silk threads to weave gorgeous silks and satins.

From raising silkworms to slowly weaving them into silk, it takes countless techniques and the precipitation of time. Each piece is extremely precious, and the price is even comparable to gold. Only some truly noble people can afford to wear it.

In history, silk was used as currency. As long as you have silk in your hand, you can exchange for what you want.

And the silk weaving technology has become more mature and gorgeous through the improvement and innovation of generations, with richer colors, eye-catching patterns, and the clothes produced are more beautiful.

From the perspective of manufacturing process, it can be divided into silk, yarn, spinning, 縠, onyx, 缣, Wan, 绨 and other major categories.

From the system, Su Tang can get the most complete production process, as well as the best loom, coupled with the highest quality ice silk, the finished product is naturally not comparable to the backward technology of this era.

Once the silk she made is sold, it will definitely set off a new turmoil, and it can even be sold to other countries, bringing in a lot of property for Yanyang County.

At that time, ordinary people can earn several taels, or even tens of taels of silver a year by farming, growing vegetables, and raising silkworms. Yanyang County will enter an era of comprehensive prosperity.

You know, when Su Tang met Shi Tiechui on the street, he was still struggling to find a job for two taels of silver a month. A skilled blacksmith only earned dozens of taels of silver a year.

In the former Yanyang City, this was considered a big family with no worries about food and drink. After all, at that time, there were still many people who could not earn a few copper coins a year, struggling hard on the food and clothing line, and those who could eat enough were amazing. family.

But now, ordinary people who can't read and have no skills can earn so much in a year. Take the people in Luoganzhai as an example. The year is about ten taels of silver.

If they raise more silkworms in their spare time, the ice silk produced by Su Tang's textile factory will be of high quality and style, and the selling price will be very expensive, so it will also be expensive to collect silk from the common people. Some.

Silk can be harvested six times a year, and it can be sold for more than ten taels of silver.

Calculated based on the fact that each person earns more than 20 taels a year, the sum of a family is a huge sum.

The families of the ancient people were very large, and they didn't like to separate their families. It was not uncommon for a family to have more than ten members. The combined income was comparable to that of some business families.

In the future, Yanyang County will randomly pull out a family. They are all wealthy households with extra money.

For example, the proprietor of the Fulai Inn where Su Tang stayed before, he has opened several branches of the inn in various towns, and recently there is a barbecue restaurant preparing to open branches.

The current goal of many foreigners is to quickly save money and buy a house in Yanyang County. As long as they can move their household registration to Yanyang County, even ordinary people who know nothing, don’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

It's a pity that the houses in Yanyang County are limited, and there are so many people who want to come. Now it's hard to find a house, so some people thought of some shortcuts.

For example, as long as you marry a local from Yanyang County, you can move your household registration here. In a short time, the young men in Yanyang County have become extremely sought-after people, and girls from other places are chasing after each other.

Especially those people who bordered Yanyang County stomped their feet enviously.

Obviously their fields are next to each other and they grow the same crops, but they live a completely different life from the people of Yanyang County.

People in Yanyang County only need to pay one-tenth of the tax for the crops grown. The remaining potatoes and sweet potatoes are kept for themselves, or sold for money. With money in hand, they can still eat it from time to time. Well done, don't mention how moist the days are.

Look at them again, even though they occupy all of Yanyang County, sweet potatoes are planted in the fields, and the harvests are not low every season, but they are not as lucky as the people of Yanyang, and they have to pay more than half of the tax. I left my own food, and there was not much left that could be sold for money.

"Be content, at least we don't have to be hungry like before. Although we pay a lot of taxes, the rest is enough to feed a family, and we can exchange some money to buy some clothes. It's much better than the days when we didn't have enough to eat and didn't wear warm clothes. Already, this is taking His Highness's light!"

"Yeah, we are close to Yanyang County, and we can grow potatoes and sweet potatoes early, and we can eat and wear clothes now, which is much better than people who are still hungry in other places, so don't think about it." Compared with the people of Yanyang County, who are directly under the jurisdiction of His Highness, we can't compare."

"If you're envious, hurry up and marry your daughter, maybe you'll be able to enjoy it too. I heard that they're raising silkworms recently. They're not picky eaters. They eat green leaves and they produce silk very well. If we can get some, let's You can also raise some, and you can get more income!"

"Is it true or not, or is it such an easy-to-raise silkworm?"

"Can I still lie to you? My daughter is married to Yanyang County. She just brought some back to me two days ago. If you don't believe me, go and have a look at my house!" The speaker raised his head very proudly.

It seems that it is a great thing for a daughter to marry into Yanyang County!
"..."

As a result, many people's minds became active, and those who had daughters hurried home, and told their daughters to go to Yanyang County more often in the future. It would be a great blessing if they could marry there.

As for the fact that they want to raise ice silkworms, Su Tang is not worried. It doesn't matter if the ice silkworms spread. Anyway, they won't be able to learn her advanced weaving technology. When the silk produced by the textile factory starts to be sold, its patterns, colors, and unique The method of weaving and embroidery is still unique in this world.

Just when the people of Yanyang County were immersed in their happy new life, a group of carriages and cavalry were slowly driving into Yanyang County.
