Chapter 525: Promoting Cotton Planting
In a farm outside the castle of Chaoge, a woman was talking to another woman; "His second aunt, why are your clothes so good-looking, and what are they made of?"
The second aunt replied with a red face: "This is what I bought from Chaoge's supermarket, I heard that this is called cotton, but it is soft and comfortable!" ”
The woman looked envious and asked, "Such a beautiful fabric must be very expensive, right?" You're really rich! ”
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, the fabric for making a piece of clothing is only twenty yuan, which is about the same as the price of linen, so let you be in charge and buy you a piece!"
The woman's face was surprised: "It's only twenty wen, it's really not expensive!" Speaking of this, I don't know what came to mind: "It's difficult to eat at home, it's twenty wen, and I don't have this spare money at home!" ”
"That's a shame!" The second aunt suddenly thought of something, and then said: "I heard that cotton cloth is woven from cotton, and the supermarket is promoting the planting of cotton. ”
"Tell me about ......"
……
Zhou Ding no longer paid attention to Jiang Ziya, and had nothing to do, so he put his energy on the promotion scale. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to smoothly promote the scale, Zhou Ding's supermarket has added a commodity: cotton.
In this era, in addition to the silk worn by dignitaries, ordinary people wore linen, and the appearance of cotton cloth quickly swept the whole world.
With the promotion of cotton cloth, the unification of the scale has achieved initial results, at least, the people who have bought cloth in the supermarket have initially recognized the scale formulated by Zhou Ding, and some of them have begun to use the scale of Zhou Ding.
In view of the fact that there were still many people in Yin Shang who could not afford cotton cloth, Zhou Ding took out two more things: cotton seeds and wooden loom drawings.
In order to promote cotton, Zhou Ding ordered supermarkets around the country to make guarantees:
The supermarket guarantees that the cotton yield per mu will not be less than 100 catties.
Supermarket guarantee: cotton will be purchased at a price of 10 cents per catty.
The supermarket guarantees that the supermarket will teach the people who grow cotton how to make looms and how to weave cotton cloth.
You must know that the grain output in this era is very low, and most places can only plant one season, and the yield per mu in this season is two or three hundred catties, and according to the price of formic acid at two cents per catty, the harvest per mu is only about five hundred wen.
Zhou Ding originally thought that the supermarket guaranteed the output of 100 catties per mu, and guaranteed to purchase at a price of 10 wen per catty, so that there would be at least 1,000 wen per mu of land.
The truth is: very few responders.
How so?
After careful calculation, Zhou Ding found the reason, five words: the people take food as the sky!
During this period, it was not easy for the people to accept new things, not to mention that the food produced by the land was the guarantee for the survival of the people, and they would not rashly use the land for experiments.
In order to dispel concerns, the supermarket said that anyone who is worried about cotton production can sign a contract with the supermarket.
The form of the contract is that the supermarket provides cotton seeds to the people free of charge, and the harvest in the land belongs to the supermarket, and the supermarket pays the people grain according to the output of the harvest year.
Although the people in this period were very simple, in order for the people to be able to plant with their hearts, supermarkets still introduced incentives and punishments:
The 10 percent people with the highest yield can get 12 percent of the grain.
People with average production can get 100 percent of the food.
People who produce less than two-thirds of the average will only receive two-thirds of their food, and so on.
As soon as the news came out, the people who were watching could no longer sit still, and ran to the supermarket one after another to sign a contract with the supermarket.
Some friends asked: Only 10% of the people can get 12 percent of the grain, and the rest of the people can only get 100 percent.
There are two reasons for this:
First, you need seeds to grow your own food, and helping supermarkets to grow cotton can save this seed, which is a benefit that can be seen at a glance.
Second, the output of supermarket bags is the output of a good year.
In this era of relying on the sky to eat, if you encounter five years of good weather within ten years, you can be regarded as burning high incense.
Once you sign a contract with the supermarket, as long as you are not lazy and you don't have to harvest less, you can get 100% of the food in the harvest year, why not?
Will supermarkets default on their bills?
With such a big industry here, how can they rely on our little money?
The most important thing: cotton is grown by us, if the supermarket does not give food, we will not give him cotton, what is there to worry about?
Isn't anyone worried that supermarkets can't afford to pay for so much food?
No!
For ordinary people, the supermarket has proved its strength by selling grain at low prices for several years in a row.
For the aristocracy, the food at home is about to become moldy, and even if they do not receive new grain for three or five years, they do not have to worry about starvation.
The people have no food to eat?
They wish the people would have no food to eat, so they would be able to trade the moldy grain for the people's land!
……
Three months later, at least half of the people in the world chose to plant cotton, and the promotion of cotton planting was a complete success.
It takes several months for cotton to be planted and harvested, and Zhou Ding has nothing to do.
At this time, the mana fluctuations surging in Songjiazhuang in the city attracted Zhou Ding's attention.
Zhou Ding's consciousness swept away, and Jiang Ziya was fighting with the five imps.
It's just a few little ghosts, but Jiang Ziya is making a big fuss, the evil fire is flying, the smoke is around, the black fog is misty, and the fire is rising, and there are thousands of red flames.
At first, Zhou Ding thought that Jiang Ziya's skills were not good and he couldn't suppress the five ghosts, but when he took a closer look, he found that he was wrong.
It's not that Jiang Ziya's skills are poor, but Jiang Ziya, who lacks emotional intelligence, has now learned to act!
Why is Jiang Ziya acting, and who is he acting for?
As soon as his consciousness moved, Zhou Ding found Song Yiren who was hiding in the distance and watching.
Seeing Song Yiren, Zhou Ding understood that Jiang Ziya's scene was played for Song Yiren.
It's true: 'I haven't seen you for three days, I'm impressed', I haven't seen you for three months, Jiang Ziya has changed so much.
When he first came to Chaoge, Jiang Ziya's body was full of various negative emotions such as confusion and decadence, and there was a kind of meaning of eating and waiting for death, so Zhou Ding was disappointed in him.
And at this moment, Jiang Ziya's eyes have become much smarter, and he has even learned to act.
Why did Jiang Ziya change so much?
Zhou Ding didn't pay attention to Jiang Ziya during this time, and could only recall the plot in the book:
After selling noodles, Jiang Ziya opened a restaurant for a few days, and he didn't sell it when the rice was rancid, so he lost money!
After the hotel, Jiang Ziya sold cattle and sheep to Chaoge, and was detained and fined by the city guards, and it was a compensation!
It's still nothing, and there's nothing special about it?
Zhou Ding couldn't think about the reason and decided to continue watching the play:
