Seeing this, Bai Shi was also a little moved: "You have all suffered with us, we will get better and better in the future, and when we return to the capital in the future, we will let those people see how we returned to our hometown." ”

These words brought Ziyu, Qingshuang, Chen Yuanheng, and the Chen brothers to their memories, and they all remembered some things and grievances in the capital, and no one spoke for a while.

Li Huan's father and son felt that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, and they didn't dare to come out. Only Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about the perfume workshop?" What do I want to know most? ”

Qingshuang hurriedly turned her head, secretly wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Our business this year is very good, and there are accounts reported to the house every month, but there is a problem, that is, there are still too few flowers, and our workshop cannot be fully operational, and Feiguang asks me where I want the goods in a hurry, and I can't supply them." Fortunately, in the spring, Mrs. let me buy two more mountains and plant plum blossoms and osmanthus, now is the time for osmanthus, and it is good for the old lady to go to the mountain to enjoy the osmanthus for a while. I have asked Li Zhuangtou to help me find someone to pick osmanthus tweed. A new osmanthus perfume is also on the market and has been sent to the house. ”

Bai nodded and said, "The osmanthus perfume is very good, I like it very much." Feiguang said that it sold very well. But what you said is too few flowers, it is indeed a thing, so let's do it, anyway, we still have no shortage of money now, Li Huan, when you buy land, inquire about it, try to buy as many mountains as possible, and after you buy it, ask your father to find someone to cut down trees and plant trees, and plant more flowers and trees, like peach and plum, plum blossoms. Osmanthus and the like. In this way, we will have more raw materials in our perfume workshop next year. ”

Li Huan hurriedly agreed.

At this time, Chen Yuanheng looked at Li Laoshi and didn't speak, so he said, "Li Zhuangtou, how is the village now?" ”

Li Laoshi was happy when he heard this question, and his face was also glorious, and he said: "It's all thanks to the blessings of the lord and the wife, now the people in our village are doing well, the house is good, and they all have money in their hands." In addition to doing farm work, they do not work on weekdays. There is often work to be done. It's like logging, planting trees, picking flowers, anyway, life is not worried. Everyone also raised animals, so it is much easier to work, we have cattle in every household, and we can grow a lot of land, and we can also let the mother-in-law go to work in the lady's workshop, and this day is prosperous. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded.

Li Laoshi said again: "Now the young men in the village have married daughters-in-law. Just count the eldest son of my family who has not yet decided on a marriage. ”

When Li Huan heard this, he hurriedly complained in a low voice: "Dad, why are you talking about this?" ”

Bai smiled: "You are now in our family, and Li Huan has not decided to marry." We have a responsibility too. I've been taking care of him a long time ago. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Huan and Ziyu became nervous.

Bai said: "Okay, will I give you Ziyu as my daughter-in-law?" ”

Ziyu immediately blushed, and walked out under the pretext of seeing if the meal was ready. Li Laoshi smiled from ear to ear: "That's really good, it's a blessing for my family." Thank you ma'am. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly lay down and kowtowed, and Bai Shi accepted it with a smile. Then he said: "Li Zhuangtou, but I can't get married now, I still want Ziyu to help me for a while longer, so let's settle it first." You taught the matchmaker another day. ”

Li honestly agreed. Li Huan was happy next to him, and he didn't know how to do it. Although Qingshuang had told him that Mrs. had agreed to his marriage, Mrs. did not say it herself. He has been beating the drum in his heart, and now he has said it on his face, this is happy, I don't know how it is good. Qingshuang saw Li Huan's stupid appearance, hurriedly pushed him, and whispered, "Don't hurry up Mrs. Xie." ”

Li Huan hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Chen Yuanheng and his wife both laughed, at this time, they said that the meal was ready, please indicate the rice, Chen Yuanheng was busy bringing it up, and after the meal, he still wanted to see the new things harvested.

In this way, the Chen family stayed in Zhuangzi for two days, first to see the newly harvested crops, and then to go up to the osmanthus mountain, to see the osmanthus flowers, it was so fragrant that the fragrant Chen family couldn't stand it.

Back in the city, Chen Yuanheng immediately asked Lan Shanghan to talk about cotton. Although Lan Shanghan had never seen it, he immediately realized that this was a big business opportunity. Chen Yuanheng gave Lan Shanghan a quilt and asked Lan Shanghan to go home at night to try. And made an appointment to go to the Grange the next day to see the cotton harvested.

The next day, Lan Shanghan came to find Chen Yuanheng early, because it was too hot to cover the quilt last night, and he also woke up with heat, so when he came to find Chen Yuanheng in the morning, he had a big bag under his eyes. But the look was excited.

They went to the Grange together, and after seeing the more than 20,000 catties of cotton, Lan Shanghan immediately agreed to the cooperation proposed by Chen Yuanheng, but he felt that the Chen family had too little to get 30%, and insisted on giving 50%, but Chen Yuanheng did not agree, and finally negotiated with 30%.

Lan Shanghan said that his Lan family was not far from Lijiagou, and there was a grange about ten miles away, so he set up the cotton factory there, so that the Chen family's cotton could be used nearby. Chen Yuanheng spoke, and when the quilt was produced, he first wanted more than 100 beds. It is reserved for the people in the house, as well as for friends.

Lan Shanghan sighed that Chen Yuanheng was kind to his subordinates, and then he understood why Chen Yuanheng was able to gather so many talented family members.

In this way, the quilt factory was built. And soon it was listed in Ancheng, and it sold very well, because Chen Yuanheng gave a bed to his friends for each family, and these people felt too warm after using quilts, plus it was already autumn, and winter was coming in a blink of an eye, if there were quilts, winter would be much warmer, and these officials and wealthy businessmen would not consider the price of quilts. So the first batch of quilts was sold out at a high price as soon as it came on the market.

Bai Shi looked at the account and smiled. The Lan family is also very happy, this is a new way to make money. Originally, the Lan family had weaving airports in Anseong, Deqing, and Songjiang, a silk powerhouse in the neighboring provinces, which were used to produce silk. In Anseong, the Lan family is the largest cloth merchant.

Later, as soon as Chen Yuanheng solicited him, the Lan family immediately realized that it was a good opportunity for development, so he immediately took refuge in the past, thinking that after taking refuge, he would be able to expand Deqing's business next year, and maybe in a few years, the Lan family would become the largest cloth merchant in Deqing Mansion. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, the Chen family found a new way to make money for him.

This is more profitable than traditional silk, after all, if cotton is popularized in the future, it will become a civilian consumer product, and the most people in the world are civilians, what a big market this must be.

Lan Shanghan was very happy, fortunately he was not as blind as some people, and chose to take refuge in Chen Yuanheng instead of Xu Zhijie at that time. Now that he has tasted the sweetness, Lan Shanghan is extremely fanatical about cotton.

On this day, Lan Shanghan looked for Chen Yuanheng again. After the ceremony, Lan Shanghan said straight to the point: "Lord Chen, our quilt business is very hot, and my more than 20,000 catties of cotton will soon be used up, and it will be impossible to continue after it is used up." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Yes, the seeds we got last year can only grow these. But next year will be different, next year, we will already have a stock of seeds, but I have too little land to plant much. ”

Lan Shanghan hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if the land matters, our Lan family has a lot of land, our Lan family has more than 5,000 acres in Ancheng, and more than 10,000 acres in Deqing and the surrounding areas of Deqing, and we can plant cotton next year." I just don't know if you have enough seeds? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "I don't know about this, but I estimate that if you give it all, you can still plant 15,000 acres of land." I'm afraid it will be difficult any more. ”

Lan Shanghan said: "That's nothing, next year we will plant 15,000 acres, and the next year we will be able to plant one million acres when we get seeds." It's just that it can't just be planted by our two families, and we have to find a way to promote it. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled: "What you said is exactly what I want." After I thought of Deqing Province, I promoted the cultivation of cotton in Deqing Province. Specifically, Tongguò will promote the loan program in one province and five counties in Deqing, as it did in Ancheng last year. The loan program will not only include soybean planting, but also new cotton planting. ”

Lan Shanghan hurriedly said: "My lord, if I want to promote cotton, I will use the tens of thousands of taels of silver I gave in the loan plan to lend to farmers who are willing to grow cotton, so that it is called a special fund, which can better mobilize the interest of farmers in planting cotton." ”

Chen Yuanheng immediately said: "Okay, the special fund is earmarked, so let's do it." This method is good, let's go back to Wang Yihe and discuss this matter together, after all, the loan was sent out through his bank. ”

Lan Shanghan said: "What the adults are saying is that there is no cotton in this year's loan plan, because the seeds are only enough for my own, and this plan is next year, and we will have enough cotton to produce quilts in the autumn of the following year." By the way, not only the quilt, but also the cotton textile that the adult mentioned to me before can be built. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Yes, I feel that the future is bright when I think about it." What about your silk business? ”

Lan Shanghan hurriedly said: "Actually, there are very few quilts now, I am mainly in the silk business, and my largest workshop is in Songjiang, where silk gathers, and my second brother is watching there." The new patterns that were sent to you last year were all from Songjiang. ”

Chen Yuanheng suddenly realized: "That's it, I said that there is no such technology here in Ancheng, by the way, speaking of which, I will ask my wife to order a batch of goods with you this year, and you have to give me the latest colors." ”

Lan Shanghan hurriedly agreed: "This year's new style has already come out, and there is one more pearlescent yarn, which is the most beautiful, and I will invite my wife to go to my shop tomorrow to have a look." By the way, there is one more thing, what if the people in my village don't know how to grow cotton? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "This is easy, I will ask the people on my Zhuangzi to teach you when the time comes." By the way, if you take out more people, and when the time comes, more people will learn, and it will be more convenient to promote it in the future. ”

Lan Shanghan hurriedly said: "It's still the adult's thoughtfulness, so it's decided." ”

After finishing business, the two of them said something else, and then went to dinner together.
