There is not much time for Liu Xian, and the 500,000 catties of grain that he got from Yang Jie and others are decreasing every day, and he can't support much time.

Therefore, Liu Xian had to start running the business and go to other places where there was food to get back the grain.

Now the affairs of Yangshi County will be handed over to Wen Shen and Wang Bao, as well as Li Yuan, Gao Zhang and others. In addition, Liu Xian called Liang Ji and asked Liang Ji to tell him the details of Liulin Village.

Of course, if there is anything in the future, when Liu Xian is not there, Liang Ji can preside over it. Therefore, let him get acquainted with Wen Shen and Wang Bao, so that they can discuss things together.

Regarding Yang's County, Liu Xian told them that after dealing with what they said before, their soup kitchen will stop giving porridge, but will directly distribute relief food to those people, so that each family can cook it by themselves.

However, it should also be made clear to the people of each household that there is only so much food, and they themselves must not waste it or overeat. The food distributed to them is quantitative, and in terms of population, there is only so much for each person, and it is imperative that the food distributed to them must be eaten for a certain period of time. If the people's food is not enough within this period of time, then it is their own business, and the Liu Mansion of Liulin Village will not help them in particular.

Here, everyone is the same, it's not that who has more and who has less, other people's can hold on to that time, and you can't, so who is to blame? Hunger is just your own problem.

In order to prevent the people from being able to control the amount of grain themselves, the grain distributed to the people is distributed in a cycle of 10 days or half a month.

Naturally, such direct distribution of relief food is also temporary.

Although Liu Xian planned to help the 20,000 or 30,000 people in Yangshi County, it would end when they had a grain harvest next year. But in fact, this is just a worst-case plan, and it is very likely that it does not take Liu Xian to relieve the people of Yangshi County for as long.

All this depends on the actual situation of Yangshi County.

Here's an example.

Now those people in Yangshi County who have joined the Liufu caravan in Liulin Village have been organized to carry out some handmade actions. Now, every day, people collect materials that can be used to make certain goods, and will use these materials to make some items that can be directly sold for money.

This doesn't matter how valuable it is, but if they make it an output, it will be valuable.

Of course, when it comes to really producing value, all of this has to be exchanged for cash by Liu Xian with these commodities and goods elsewhere. Then use the money to buy grain back to Yangshi County.

When the time comes, every citizen who joins the Liufu caravan in Liulin Village will have a registration of the goods and commodities they deliver to the Liufu caravan. After being sold and bought, in exchange for money or grain, then you can pay them a certain amount of money and grain according to a certain proportion, which is equivalent to paying their salary.

In this way, they have their own money or food, so Liu Xian does not need to continue to help them.

But no matter what, there are so many people in Yangshi County, so how much food must be brought back from outside to allow Yangshi County to survive this food crisis. This is a definite number. Regardless of whether Liu Xian is paid or not, he has to get the grain back first.

The people of Yangshi County, production to save themselves, has actually been carried out.

On the other hand, the distribution of relief food to the people of each household can also develop their enthusiasm. Because there is only so much food, and if they want to eat more and eat better, then they have to find a way through their own hands.

For example, they can pick wild vegetables by themselves, they can find their own way to fish and hunt, and they have to collect firewood by themselves. All of these must be let them know that sometimes, relief alone is not enough, and it takes their personal efforts to get out of the difficult crisis.

These need to be done step by step, but it doesn't take Liu Xian to keep an eye on it, just tell the people below to do it.

After saying this, Liu Xian asked Liang Ji what the goods and commodities collected by the Liu Mansion in Liulin Village now, and what the quantity was.

"Young Master." Liang Ji said to Liu Xian: "Because the resources are those things, there are not many types of materials and goods we collect. According to what the young master said, with our people now, everyone can make things with their own hands, basically clothes and some reed fabrics. ”

"Well, none of these things are valuable, but most of them are things that everyone needs to use. So, as long as we choose a good place, we should be able to exchange some money back. Liu Xian said to everyone: "When we run a business, we don't mean that we can make a lot of money by running once, but we must first run a business route and figure out the situation in various places." Later, it will be possible to traffic goods to a certain place in a targeted manner. ”

"That's what the young master said." Liang Ji said: "Fortunately, during the Yellow Turban Riot, whether it was the Yellow Turban thieves or those officers and soldiers who would plunder the people. They will only directly grab money and food, and even harm women and kill people. But they don't loot things that seem worthless. For example, cotton, those thieves will not say that they want to take these things. Therefore, the people we organized did collect a lot of cotton. In addition, there is actually some cotton that can be collected in the wild, even if it falls to the ground, it can also be collected and used. Therefore, we knitted a lot of cloth from cotton, and made some clothes from the cloth, among which the cotton clothes were mainly used to protect against the cold. ”

"Okay, so let's talk about how much you have now?" Liu Xiandao.

Liu Xian also knew that the Jizhou area was actually rich in cotton. This cotton is not like those crops, they don't need to be managed, they are just a tree, and ordinary people will not deliberately destroy them. So, these are some of the natural resources.

Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, basically no one picked the cotton this year, but as Liang Ji said. The cotton fell to the ground because no one picked it, and as long as it was still there, it could be used when it was checked back.

During this time, in the name of the Liu Fu caravan, some people have been called on to collect cotton and come back.

Now in Liulin Village, there were originally only more than 100 women, but now there are as many as 2,000 or 3,000. According to Liu Xian's plan, there is already a spinning workshop in Liulin Village. At least hundreds of women are busy every day.

They work together, some people are responsible for drying the collected cotton, some are responsible for selecting some good quality, and some are responsible for removing the pits. Then someone will take those selected and spin them into silk threads of good quality, and then use them to weave cloth.

Now, a new dyeing mill has also been opened. Of course, because of the process, for the time being, it can only be dyed in the most primitive black, white, red and other colors.

The women of this era basically knew how to needlework. So, those made out of cotton. Let the women make clothes.

Naturally, there is not only cloth woven from cotton, but also linen. In fact, most of the clothes worn by ordinary people were made of linen. In other words, in this era, linen cloth is the mainstream.

In any case, now Liufu in Liulin Village already has a considerable number of cotton cloth and cotton clothes.

It was almost during this time that the cotton was collected and produced day and night. There are already tens of thousands of them. Among them, there are 30,000 pieces of cotton clothes, and there are 30,000 pieces of ordinary clothes.

When Liu Xian heard Liang Ji say this number, he still didn't believe it.

How long has it been? How can there be so many?

After listening to his detailed account, Liu Xian understood what was going on.

The current Liulin Village gathers the people of the villages near Liulin Village, as well as the people from Yangshi County. The vast majority of these are women.

These thousands of women, who usually don't have to do anything, concentrate on spinning and weaving cloth and sewing clothes. In addition, Liu Xian talked to Liang Ji about the concept of division of labor and cooperation, he thought it was true and tried to implement it, but it turned out that this production efficiency really increased geometrically. It can be said that as long as there is cotton, Liulin Village can now produce a steady stream of cotton cloth and cotton clothes.

The productivity of thousands of women, not to mention much, can always produce 1,000 to 3,000 pieces of clothing a day, right? Now it has been more than ten days since Liu Xian began to give soup and food to the people of Yangshi County. In this time, it is true that so many cotton clothes can be produced.

In fact, thanks to the efforts of the hundreds of scholars, they absorbed a large number of people from the people of Yangshi County to join the Liufu caravan in Liulin Village, and let those people rush to Liulin Village to help with production. In this way, with so many people, what do you want to do can't be done?

Fortunately, these people are simple, they all have a kind of since they have eaten Liu Xian's relief food, then they can't eat and drink for nothing, and they have to do something for Liu Xian to repay. When they learned that Liu Xian needed a lot of manpower to do things in Liulin Village, many people wanted to do their best to contribute to Liu Xian.

These people, they are actually doing things for Liu Xian for free, they only need Liu Xian to provide them with a certain amount of porridge every day, and they will work hard.

It can be said that such results can actually be achieved by the collective strength of these people.

There are also countless handmade products woven from rattan grass. All kinds of things have accumulated to more than 100,000.

Most of them are straw sandals, straw mats, baskets, vegetable baskets, etc., woven from reed poles.

Of course, don't look at so many things. But according to Liu Xian's request, Liang Ji has a record of all these things.

This is mainly a record of which people delivered certain materials or items to Liu's mansion. Because Liu Xian confessed that every material has a certain value, no matter what its value is, it must be recorded in detail. These records are also equivalent to recording the people's support for Liu Xian's Liu Mansion in Liulin Village, as well as the contributions of the people.

If Liu Xian wants to develop, he can't take it for nothing, he has to pay for it. For the time being, it cannot be discounted and paid to the people, but as long as there is a record, then when Liu Xian takes these goods to exchange for money and grain, then when the time comes, the money can be distributed to the people according to this record.

As long as the people know that they have given Liu Fu a little bit of everything, they will be compensated accordingly. Then they will be convinced of Liu Xian, grateful to Liu Xian, and they will be very happy to do things for Liu Xian and Liu Mansion in the future. When the time comes, Liu Xian can also respond to every call.

In addition, there are some scattered things, anyway, as long as they are valuable, Liu Mansion will store them.

Speaking of which, the current Liufu in Liulin Village is a bit like the kind of garbage collection station in later generations, and everything is really recycled. Like animal fur, Liu Xian handed over to Liu's house for storage.

At this time, even Wen Shen and Wang Bao were a little surprised.

If nothing else, 30,000 pieces of cotton clothing. Who wouldn't want to have a warm thick cotton coat during this cold winter season? The value of a cotton coat is naturally more expensive than ordinary clothes.

What is the value of a specific cotton coat? This can actually be calculated. Under normal circumstances, the ratio of clothing to rice prices is about 50 to 100 times.

Because it is really difficult to calculate the cost price now, and the value of cotton clothes cannot be calculated at cost price, and the prices of various commodities will be different in different places and at different times.

For example, if cotton clothes are sold in summer, not only will they not be able to sell at a price, but no one may buy them.

However, generally speaking, in fact, no matter in a certain era, there will be a reference price. Basically, the price of grain is used as a reference price.

In later generations, normally speaking, a pound of rice grain is about 3 yuan, and the general winter cotton clothes and the like are about two or three hundred yuan. What is said here is just the general general normal price. In this way, taking rice grain as a reference, the value of cotton clothing is about 100 times that of rice grain.

In the current Three Kingdoms period, it is estimated that it is about the same. In the future, the value of rice grain will be about 10 yuan. Then the value of a cotton coat will be between 500 yuan and 1,000 yuan.

Even if it is calculated at the lowest price, even considering the current general shortage of money, the price can be reduced again. Based on 300 yuan per piece, it is already worth almost 10 million yuan.

And what about a few other general clothes? According to the reduced price, in the end, I only bought one or two hundred yuan, which is also worth millions of dollars.

But the actual price will definitely not be so low, and it is estimated that the last batch of clothes will earn about 20 million dollars.

20 million is actually equal to about 6 million in later generations.

If Wen Shen and Wang Bao originally thought that Liu Xian would dare to give the government a white slip worth tens of millions of dollars, it was just to fool Yang Jie and them, they never thought that Liu Xian would have the money to pay back the tens of millions of dollars. But now, they found out that even if Liu Xian bought those grains at the price of Yang Jie's grain, Liu Xian really had the money to pay.

They don't know that in fact, this money is the fruits of the labor of tens of millions of people, and these are not Liu Xian's personal money.

What's more, how to cash out these things is still a big problem now.
