Chapter 627 Fundraising
Xinshizhuang is different from the acquisition station, there are many people, and in order to harvest cotton, their village has trained more than a dozen quality inspectors alone.
The warehouse is even more spacious, and the newly built factories are all built according to the scale of 10,000 ingots. There is also enough money to make the acquisition, and the acquisition speed is particularly fast.
The cotton farmer waited for more than an hour at most to receive the money and go home happily.
In the past two years, people have been picky and afraid of the purchase station, and the cotton is picked at home before going to the purchase station, and it is not easy to queue up, and it cannot be sold because of quality problems.
In fact, through several years of breeding, Hongcheng and Pingcheng counties, now planted are high-quality insect-resistant cotton from the later generations of Tao Teng, insect-resistant velvet is long, and the management only needs to be forked to the top, saving labor and time and high yield.
This is also the main reason why people outside the beach grow cotton in large quantities.
In the villages outside the beach area, due to the siltation of the Yellow River, the land inside and outside the embankment has a large difference in height, forming a drop of more than three meters, resulting in a serious anti-salinity phenomenon in the land outside the beach area.
Saline-alkali land is more suitable for planting cotton, soybean and corn and other autumn crops, the yield per mu is too low, only more than 100 catties, and some are even less than 100 catties.
Saline-alkali land planting summer cotton, the minimum yield of seed cotton per mu is 400 catties, management and harvesting than soybean and corn labor-intensive, but the income is also higher than soybean and corn.
In the past two years, people outside the beach area have changed their habit of harvesting wheat and planting summer sweet potatoes and began to plant summer cotton. Of course, the area of summer sweet potatoes is still very large, and if you get used to it, you won't be able to change it for a while.
With the addition of Xinshizhuang, there are fewer cotton farmers queuing at the gate of Zhangji Purchasing Station.
Zhang Ji to Xinshizhuang, detour to Hantun less than ten miles, walk for an hour, wait for an hour in the middle, half a day to run back and forth.
Since the price is the same, people will certainly not stay up late to queue up.
The news of the cotton harvest in Xinshizhuang spread like a gust of wind, and more and more people came to sell cotton, beyond the scope of Zhangji Commune, and there were also cotton farmers in Pingcheng County.
In less than a week, Xinshizhuang harvested 200 tons of seed cotton, and there are still more than 10 days before the frost, which is the best quality cotton. The remaining more than 600,000 yuan of funds in Xinshizhuang were all harvested into cotton.
200 tons of pre-frost flowers, that is, the output of 2,000 acres of cotton fields, is enough for the spinning mill in Xinshizhuang to produce for more than three months. In Xiangyang District, the cotton field covers an area of more than 5,000 acres, and the spinning mill in Xinshizhuang is really not short of raw materials.
In order to collect more good cotton, the people of Xinshizhuang are also hard enough, they absorb funds in the whole village, and the interest of 1,000 yuan and 50 yuan is directly written on the IOU and paid off within a year.
Attracted by the interest, more than 500 households in Shimiao Village soon gathered 2 million yuan, with an average of 4,000 yuan per household.
Now, people are not in the habit of going to the bank to deposit money. Cash is kept at home, and instead of worrying about being afraid, it is better to take it out and earn interest.
The annual interest rate of five percent is really not too high. However, the interest of 4,000 yuan per year is higher than the previous annual income, which can be regarded as a good income.
If you don't have any money at home, you don't have to worry about it all day. Besides, the village cadres of Xinshizhuang said that they would keep all the families who saved money secret and ensure that the number of deposits of each family would not be revealed, so what else was there to worry about.
Xinshizhuang can be said to have created a precedent for fundraising in this era, and it also relied on this way to develop and grow like a snowball.
With the money, Xinshizhuang continued to harvest cotton, and finally bought all the 2 million raised funds into cotton before the frost fell, which was enough for a year's production.
While harvesting cotton, Xinshizhuang also exhibited the products of its own yarn factory: all kinds of dyed yarns, both single and combined.
In order to show that their yarn does not fade, they soaked the dyed yarn in clean water and put it on the booth for people to watch, which is really convincing.
In the farther villages, people don't know the use of yarn, but they just look at it if it doesn't fade. But in the nearby villages, people know the benefits of woven yarn.
The yarn bought back from Xiaojin Village in Hantun Village is not divided into public (fair) at all, and each family is spread to such a point, and several families together are enough to weave a machine of cloth.
Even so, everyone has felt the benefits of weaving "foreign threads" (woven yarns), which are strong and wear-resistant, and can save more than half of the time for weaving.
People here are accustomed to calling industrial products foreign and foreign, and they often say: matches are called foreign fire, kerosene for lighting lamps is called foreign oil, the fabric of the mechanism is called foreign cloth, sewing machines are called foreign machines, and bicycles are called foreign cars.
The sentence behind the electric light phone is a pear rake. Yoyo thinks that the most representative dialect here is: borrow you to ride in a foreign car.
The cloth woven with "foreign thread" is suitable for bedding and bed sheets than the cloth bought, and it is thick and soft and feels good and comfortable to use. The key is that the price is cheap, saving more than half compared to buying cloth, and there is no need for cloth tickets.
Although the price of foreign thread is more than double that of hand-spun cotton thread, it is stronger than hand-spun, and the cloth woven is smooth. The key is to save time, which is more time-consuming than weaving.
Spinning thread from morning to night, a person can spin half a pound of cotton thread in a day, which has to be technically good. A pound of cotton thread can be spun in two days by manual labor. Buying machine-spun cotton yarn costs one yuan per catty.
A person can easily make a pair of insoles in two days, which can be sold for one yuan, and the cost is less than a dime.
Instead of getting up early and staying up late to spin cotton, tired and sore back, it is better to have a pair of insoles. In the past, there was no place to buy foreign thread, but now that Xinshizhuang is open to supply, who would be stupid to spin yarn again.
The cotton thread spun by hand, no matter how good the technology is, can only achieve the same thickness, and the cotton thread spun by everyone is different, and the woven cloth is definitely uneven.
The woven foreign thread has uniform thickness, and the woven cloth is particularly smooth. For a strand of cotton thread, 2.5 catties of knitting a hook cloth, and 1.5 catties of a single strand of cotton thread is enough.
Xinshizhuang foreign threads just started to buy, and the women of Hantun Village, as if they didn't want money, bought them in bundles.
A bundle of "foreign threads" is five catties, each color buys a bundle, more than 20 colors, and each family buys 100 catties (more than 100 catties).
They wanted strands, and the woven cloth was thick enough to make bedding and sheets.
Hantun Village has just moved into a new home, inside and out, but the bedding of each family, although some new ones have been added in recent years, there are still many old ones.
After the cold dew, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the night is cold, and the quilt has to be covered. Take out the old quilt from before, although it is clean and clean, it can be put together with the new furniture, and it doesn't match it. It's not as good as the newly bought silk quilt and blanket, which is pleasing to the eye and very light to cover.
