Chapter 468: Shi Niang makes a move

This year is a bumper harvest year, and after the harvest, the entire Jiannan Dao, almost every person's face is filled with joy.

Normally, they don't have anything to do after the autumn harvest.

Women would weave straw sandals, men would weave baskets or go up the mountain to hunt rabbits and go down to the river to catch fish.

In their spare time, they supplement their lives with this kind of way of making ends meet, which yields little but helps them somewhat.

But now, they still have something to do.

That is to grow winter wheat.

You can grow wheat in the winter!

It can be harvested in May next year, and after the harvest is complete, corn, sweet potatoes or peanuts can be planted.

With these three new crops, their incomes have increased dramatically.

And now that they have winter wheat, they will be able to keep one more crop in the city for two years.

In this way, they have more and more hope for their future life.

Needless to say, even this year, life will be much better than usual.

And after sowing winter wheat, those young and strong do not have to weave baskets as in previous years, or hunt in the mountains and go down to the river to fish.

When you go to Yizhou City, as long as you are willing to work, you don't have to worry about finding a job.

Although the wages are lower now than when the railroad was built, they are still very considerable.

Even working for a winter, plus more than a month after the year, can catch up with their income in a quarter.

I have to say that since the King of Shu came to Yizhou, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

All the people are thinking of the good of the King of Shu in their hearts.

……

However, recently, the people of Jiannan Province have encountered troubles.

It turned out that before Li Su came to Jiannan Road, in order to increase the income of the people of Jiannan Province, many people would raise silkworms at home.

And the silkworms they raise are the silkworms of the eighth generation.

It is to be able to mature eight times a year.

Kang Zhen Silkworm March Results, Zhe Silkworm April Results, Prion Silkworm April Results, Aizhen May Results, Love Silkworm June Results, Han Zhen July Results, Four Silkworm September Results, Han Silkworm October Results.

This silkworm can ripen again in October.

After sowing winter wheat, it is not too late to harvest silkworms again.

In the past, many people in Jiannan Province relied on silkworm raising to celebrate the New Year and buy New Year's goods.

Now that the living conditions are better, there is naturally no need for it.

But the skills passed down from their ancestors, they are naturally reluctant to throw away.

But this year's cocoon prices are exceptionally low, so low that they are almost given for free.

In the past, silkworm cocoons that could be sold for hundreds of dollars can only be sold for a few dozen dollars.

The people cursed, and they negotiated terms with the merchants who bought the cocoons, demanding a price increase.

It would be better to increase it to half of what it used to be, rather than one-tenth of the price of previous years, as it is now.

However, their demands were categorically rejected by those businessmen.

It's a buyer's market, and you can only sell at their price, or you choose not to sell.

As for why the price of silkworm cocoons is so low, the explanation of these merchants is that it is because of the abundant grain harvest in the entire Jiannan Province now.

The emergence of three crops plus winter wheat made the landlords of the Jiangnan Province of Huainan Province feel that they will lose money by planting crops in the future.

There will be more and more food, even to the point where it will be impossible to eat.

At that time, the price of grain will inevitably fall, and it will definitely lose money to grow crops.

In this case, they wanted to develop a side business, so they chose to grow mulberry and raise silkworms.

It is precisely because there are more people raising silkworms this year that the price of silkworm cocoons is so low.

If you calculate it this way, the price of silkworm cocoons has decreased, but because of the king of Shu.

Is it because of King Shu?

Although because of the arrival of the King of Shu, their lives have been much better.

Their gains are far greater than their current losses.

But in the hearts of many people, there is still a trace of resentment towards the King of Shu.

Because it was all because of the king of Shu, they lost their money.

At such a price, the people naturally refused to sell it.

They are ready to band together to see the merchants who buy the cocoons and finally refuse to budge and raise some prices.

……

The situation here quickly fell into the ears of the five surnames and seven wangs.

After learning the news, Lu Yong couldn't help but high-five and exclaimed: "Shi Niang is really good at planning, and her calculation of people's hearts is wonderful. These foolish people, seeing small profits and forgetting the great righteousness, are no wonder they can only be fooled and difficult to achieve big things. ”

"In this way, we can take advantage of these foolish people's resentment against the King of Shu to make a fuss. Now you can let those families secretly come forward and instigate those foolish people to do things. ”

Hearing Lu Yong's words, Cui Shiniang smiled slightly.

Lu Yong just said that these foolish people forget the great righteousness when they see small profits.

In fact, their family, why is it not like this?

It's just that as a member of the family, she stands on a different position, and she can only choose the side of the family.

Cui Shi Niang smiled and said: "It's still early, those people's grievances against the King of Shu are still very slight, not enough for them to take risks." And when this resentment brews for a while, you can move on to the next step. ”

Hearing Cui Shi Niang's words, Lu Yong couldn't help but admire: "It turns out that Shi Niang has a plan for the next step, but I'm too anxious." I don't know what Shi Niang's next plan is? Why don't you tell us about it? ”

Cui Siniang smiled and said: "The time has not yet come, it is too early to say, and it is not too late to wait a few days." ”

Seeing that Cui Siniang refused to say more, Lu Yong did not ask.

However, the love for Shi Niang in my heart is even worse.

Shi Niang is really a female Zhuge ah, if she can marry back home, with such a virtuous help, maybe the position of the head of the family can be planned.

……

On this day, Xu Hui found Li Su and reported the latest information to Li Su.

First of all, in Chang'an City, the movements of those ministers of the state, as well as the situation of the prince, Li Tai and others.

Next, there is the information of Tuyuhun and Tubo.

With the support of capital and China Commercial Bank, Dream Weaving has developed rapidly.

Now the tentacles have basically spread throughout Datang, and all important information can be transmitted back in time.

After all this information was reported, Xu Hui said to Li Su: "Your Highness, now the price of silkworm cocoons in Jiannan Province has been reduced to one-tenth of last year's, and the people are extremely dissatisfied with this price, and the vast majority of the people have pressed the cocoons in their hands without making a move. ”

After hearing the news, Li Su just smiled and didn't speak.

It was really Li Su who felt that there was no need to repay him for this matter.

The price of silkworm cocoons has decreased, which is a problem for the market.

Even if you are a temperance envoy, you can't intervene in the market strongly, right?

If you pressure the buyer to raise the price, won't people lose money?
