Obviously, the turtles of Datang do not understand what cost control and fine management are.

Therefore, Li Ran decided to teach them a lesson with facts.

"What do you do with the cotton in your fields every year when you pick cotton?"

This question made the landlords and old fortunes look at each other.

Dispose? Isn't it just letting the tenant farmers go down to the field to pick up the work, and it's not a technical job.

Many people's eyes flashed with hidden contempt, feeling that the dignified immortal master didn't even know how to do farm work, and he was still doing some false tricks.

"Well, let's do a live demonstration."

Li Ran is as good as a stream, and fully gives the other party a chance to perform, the routine, you have to be convinced, "I have the cotton given by the fairy family here, you can come up with life means to see who picks the best and fastest." ”

After the words fell, his attendant brought a wooden basin, in which a few cotton plants were cultivated in fine soil, and at a rough appearance, it was no different from the cotton in the field.

This is the cotton of the fairy family?

The landlords and old fortunes were stunned again, not to mention whether there was such a thing in the fairy world, just looking at the appearance of these cotton plants, they always felt that Li Ran was pretending to be a ghost.

"For every one of your successful pickings, I will give you five pieces of silver."

Li Ran smiled and raised his reward, and the landlords and old fortunes were suddenly eager to try.

Five coins of silver! Enough for tenant farmers to pick dozens of acres of cotton land!

“…… If the harvest is not successful and the plant is damaged, the compensation will be 100 times. ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, so that the landlords and old fortunes who are scrambling for the first place don't care about the words he added later.

If you pick cotton, how can you still damage the plant? Bluff whom.

However, their expressions immediately changed as soon as they got started.

Why do these cotton stamens fall off immediately when you touch them!

“…… Fifty taels, one hundred taels, one hundred and fifty taels......"

The more anxious and chaotic, when the hands trembled like sifting chaff, the air was full of flying flowers, and the whole plant was bald!

"Chenghui, five hundred taels of silver, silver tickets and cash silver are acceptable, no credit."

Li Ran spread his hands towards the landlords and old wealthy, the other party was stunned, and when he was about to say something, the guards around him had quietly surrounded him.

"We didn't bring it, we didn't bring that much money."

Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and after all, these landlords and old rich people in front of them are so rich that they still have to break their bones, and they instinctively want to repay their debts.

"Then, write an IOU, in black and white, and if you can't pay it within three days, you will have your property confiscated."

Li Ran smiled very kindly, and said the most ruthless words in the gentlest tone.

The landlords and old fortunes lost their temper in an instant, and in the face of a group of guards like wolves and tigers, if they dared to say half a word, they must have been hung up and beaten until their mother didn't know them, and they had to be punished for the crime of contempt for the court.

Therefore, they wrote the deed of sale with tears in their eyes.

"Immortal Master, can you really pick these immortal cotton?"

A small number of landlords and old fortunes who did not rashly do it secretly rejoiced that they had escaped the catastrophe, and mustered up the courage to ask in their voices.

"Of course you can, it's a good way to memorize it in a small book!"

Li Ran said that he was not fake, but he was not deliberately blackmailing, he picked up the stamens with two fingers, and with a slight turn, he picked off the whole cotton.

"See, this is the magic of Xianjia cotton."

In the face of the stunned landlords and old money, Li Ran smiled, knowing that his strategy of spending a lot of money on investment projects to get the improved version of cotton seeds into his hands was correct.

At present, the yield of local cotton seeds in Datang is low, the quality is poor, and it has to go through several generations of breeding and improvement to reach the level of cotton in later generations, so the first step in opening a textile factory is to change everyone's concept, abandon local cotton seeds, and expand improved varieties.

That's why there is a routine in front of me, and the fine is not the goal, but to leave the most intuitive and deep impression on the landlords and old money.

The narration continues, in fact, the pitch lines have just begun.

"This Xianjia cotton seed is a lot of painstaking efforts to ask the Xianjia family, it is planted, does not need special care, and the yield of cotton is larger, the quality is better, convenient for picking and secondary processing."

While speaking, while comparing the two different kinds of cotton, the landlords and old fortunes suddenly realized that there was indeed a significant difference in color and density.

"That's why the cotton waiting area is set up, and the cotton collected in the field is classified according to the four grades of excellent and medium difference, and the follow-up processing methods of each cotton are not the same, and the price gap of the finished product is large, and it can even reach dozens of times."

The brains of the landlords and old fortunes were shocked, and they instinctively felt that it was impossible, but they were cleaned up twice by Li Ran's methods, and they had to believe it if they didn't believe it.

"For specific finished products and processing, let's move on."

Li Ran took in everyone's reactions, smiled slightly, and didn't explain much.

Facts speak louder than words, and the three views of today's landlords and old wealth are bound to collapse so much that they don't want to.

"The second area, the processing area."

Turning the corner, the vision instantly doubled, and everyone's breathing stopped in an instant.

What a majestic room!

Tall!

There are neat utensils in the wide space, and there are dozens of them, which have never been seen in my life.

"The cotton raw materials that have been stuffed and selected will be sent here to make cotton thread."

Li Ran continued to explain, and the landlords and old fortunes suddenly looked at it curiously over and over in the utensils.

Can this thing really spin cotton?

Li Ran knew that this group of turtles was stunned again, with the handicraft level of Datang, when processing cotton, it was more for the textile lady to use simple tools to weave by hand, and the processing props of spinning wheels, spindles, and spinning pendants had not been fully utilized, and the production capacity had to be increased by leaps and bounds when the famous female worker Huang Daopo improved the production props.

"Why don't we demonstrate it live?"

Li Ran was so empathetic that he had nothing to say, and the landlords and old fortunes instantly nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.

Only Pei Min looked helpless, watching these Kaizi step into the trap.

"For the sake of visual illustration, let's make a comparison, you let the strongest weaver in your hand come here, I will use this appliance to compete with them once, if your weaver is fast, I will write off the silver that was fined before."

Everyone looked overjoyed, and cautiously asked, "What if we lose?" ”

"No, why do you have so little faith in your men?"

Li Ran smiled playfully, "If you lose, you lose, and you will be punished with three glasses of wine." ”

Everyone immediately put their minds at ease, and hurriedly sent someone to bring the weaver girl, and in less than half an hour, there were fast horses to bring dozens of the city's most famous textile craftsmen.

Sure enough, these people have good goods on their hands...... An imperceptible sly smile flashed at the corner of Li Ran's mouth, and the routine was successful again.

Most of the recruited tenant farmers had almost no textile skills, and it took a lot of resources and time to train them from scratch, and it was clear that it would be more efficient to train them directly to the skilled ones in how to use the weaving machines.

That's why there was this gamble, none of these skilled weavers who were fooled, Li Ran didn't plan to return them.

After everyone arrives, the competition begins.

He took matters into action and started the steam engine.

The winning weapon is...... Spinning wheel!
