Chapter 784: Poor operation and lack of money to spend
Since she was a child, Princess Yongmu has never been exposed to this kind of knowledge.
She was cultivated according to the model of a good baby and a lady, she didn't go out much, and what she learned was what was in books.
Because his mother was born in Hedong Liu's family, the words she practiced were more beautiful, and she was also knowledgeable.
No one asked her to learn anything else, but she could embroidery, but she couldn't cook, let alone other economic ways.
Now Li Yi is only talking about it superficially, and she is confused.
What does the price of silk have to do with something else?
"Li Lang, but cotton?" The only thing Princess Yongmu could think of was cotton.
"Wen Tian is really smart." Li Yi hurriedly praised: "Cotton is easy to grow, the yield is large, and the clothes and bedding made are comfortable." ”
Li Yi knows that cotton eventually replaced other fiber crops and became the mainstream.
Regardless of the brand, the price of silk is always not low.
The point is that the people can't afford to wear silk and have been wearing linen clothes.
"Li Lang, cotton is not made into a futon, and it is warm when stuffed in a silk cover." Princess Yongmu has never used hemp since she was a child.
In her opinion, cotton bedding is good, especially a mattress, and it is comfortable to sleep on.
The quilt is a little heavy, heavier than the silk stuffed with cashmere and duck down.
"Brush a layer of glue on the inside of the cotton cloth, and stuff the degreased chicken feathers into it as clothes, saving cotton and keeping warm than wearing thick linen clothes directly."
Li Yi has been collecting chicken feathers and goose feathers, the good goose feathers are used to make badminton, and the bad ones are defatted and softened with the chicken feathers to fill the clothes.
The warmth effect is much worse than cashmere, duck down, and cotton, but it is stronger than others.
The straw and withered grass in the linen clothes are very bloated to wear, and the warmth effect is many times stronger than not putting it away.
When Li Yi first arrived in the Tang Dynasty, all the squares in Chang'an City were covered with straw pawnshops.
Now there is the same, but the straw is woven into a curtain, and below it is a fire kang to make a fire.
When I woke up on a winter morning, I didn't say who was directly frozen to death.
"Li Dongzhu, if you sell cotton, will it make money? I still have land in my house. Xiaolan thought about the land she bought, and she was very distressed.
I bought 100 acres, planted beans on 20 acres, and planted greenhouses for the rest, and hired people to watch them.
Now I haven't earned back the money to buy land, and the greenhouse is money for hiring people, silk is money, shelves are money, and fertilizer is money.
The money was saved by Princess Yongmu and taken out to buy the land in Xiaolan's name.
Xiaolan wants to wait for the greenhouse to stop planting, and then plant cotton directly.
At present, there is no definite price for cotton, and it is collected by the Li family Zhuangzi and the household department.
"Your bean field is used to grow cotton, and when the bean moth comes out, it will affect the development of cotton, so it is better to plant bellflowers.
After the greenhouse is removed, it is planted directly with seeds, which has a higher yield than seedling transplanting, and is different from many other crops.
Then in winter, I want to plant greenhouses, first raise seedlings in small sheds, and cultivate seedlings such as cucumbers, cowpeas, and eggplants.
Harvest the bellflower, set up the greenhouse, and put the raised vegetable seedlings into it, so that the two will not be delayed. ”
Li Yi patiently explained the question of what to plant, in order to make money, he did not use cotton.
Next year, after the land of Henan Province is cleared, Henan Province will be allowed to undertake part of the planting task through tax collection and subtraction.
At present, it is still mainly food, and only when you have enough food can you consider enjoying it.
"There are no seeds." Xiaolan tilted her head to look at Li Yi, that is, you pursue my princess, and you produce seeds.
"This proprietor will solve it." Li Yi happily agreed, or he would also release a large number of seeds.
Zhuangzi is specially planted on the land, and the bellflower is a medicinal material.
In his northeastern region at that time, the Xian people were willing to make pickles from bellflowers, and the price at the beginning was the same as that of other Korean pickles.
Later, the price rose sharply with licorice, and at the most expensive time, a pound of dog treasure pickles was more than 40 yuan, and I couldn't afford to eat it.
The bellflower grows like ginseng, and it can't be cut into strips with a knife.
The authentic one is smashed with a wooden hammer, and there is a trace of it after smashing.
It eats bellflower root, which is called orange stem.
For the treatment of cough, especially if there is phlegm that cannot be spit out, it is better to use it with licorice.
The contraindication is that licorice and bellflower hurt the stomach, the gastrointestinal tract is bad, and the nausea and vomiting are terrible.
Li Yi needed medicinal herbs, cultivated good seeds, asked others to plant them, and mixed them with chili noodles as pickles by the way.
Princess Yongmu didn't read medical books, but she ate bellflower pickles, the kind with chili noodles, and sugar, salt, and fried sesame grains in it.
"Hmmm! Seed! She believed in Li Yi and said that if she could make money, she would definitely be able to make money, which was better than planting cotton.
What she took out was her own money, and she didn't have much money in the first place.
After buying the land, I started to plant greenhouses, and I had to use a lot of silk silk, and I didn't have much money recently.
When it is time to plant other crops in the spring, the money earned from the greenhouse vegetables can make her return to her capital.
This year, there are many greenhouses, and there is no sky-high price for greenhouse vegetables.
By next year, it will be impossible for more people to recoup the cost of the newly built greenhouse in a year, unless the price of silk silk drops significantly.
In the past, Princess Yongmu thought that her life was to save a little money, and then her father promised her a personal family and lived with each other.
What kind of life can be lived, it depends on each other.
The other party's appearance, life experience, and virtue are not something that you need to consider.
"Rest first, and then prepare to watch the Spring Festival Gala, which is better than the Imperial City, and there are more fireworks."
Li Yi was afraid that the two of them would not have the energy to watch the show at night, so he arranged to go to the courtyard.
After sending the two people in, and arranging for the palace maid and the eunuch to wait in turn, Li Yi changed his hippie smile just now and went back to the study to write.
The new year is coming, and there will be new changes in the Li family Zhuangzi, and at the same time, Li Yide will come up with a plan for follow-up development.
At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, at the beginning of dinner, everyone still eats hot pot, so as to save food, eat as much as you want.
The water curtain was taken out again and divided into three venues.
People from Zhangjia Village and Huangzhuang rushed over, and there was a water curtain in the settlement area, so everyone tried to squeeze as much as possible, and some ran upstairs to look through the window.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan came out and were arranged to sit down in a place to watch the show.
"Sure enough, it's more interesting than the imperial city, it's close, and there is a hot pot to eat, last year...... I didn't even go up last year. ”
Xiaolan whispered to Princess Yongmu, watching the show in the imperial city last year, her status was low and she couldn't go up.
Princess Yongmu looked around, and there were only two of them next to the small table in front of her.
The first circle is the villagers, and the farmers eat and drink slowly, afraid that they will eat too fast, and they are also worried that they will be sleepy after eating too much.
Drinking the soup while eating, I feel that I am full, and when the soup is digested after a while, I can still eat a lot.
The children don't care about that, put on new clothes, pick what they like to eat, and don't sleep and don't keep vigil anymore.
Princess Yongmu didn't feel cold at all, there were many charcoal fires in the hot pot, if it weren't for the open air, it is estimated that many people would have been poisoned by carbon monoxide now.
Half an hour passed, and Li Yi, who had changed his clothes, ran over: "Eat, don't be idle, eat some seafood first." ”
He said as he poured frozen oysters and scallop meat into the hot pot.
