Chapter 20: One Hundred Secrets
Liu Qingyuan said only half of his words, and the atmosphere in the courtyard immediately became much lower, and he exchanged his head and then lowered his head and sighed. Liu Qingyuan saw that Shen Xing didn't stop him, so he continued.
"The fundamental cause of grain is actually also in the silver taels, if there is enough silver, even if it is changed to land transportation, some problems can be solved, but the difficulty is that more than 200,000 people need more than 20,000 taels of silver to eat every month, and there will be a full ten months to next year's grain harvest, and we have less than 100,000 taels left in our hands to build city houses and so on, even if we count the balance of the new industries developed by the young owners in Beijing, it is far from enough."
Shen Xing stood up and covered his face with both hands, so that his mind could be as clear as possible. "Uncle Liu, what about the workshop that you were asked to open before? Isn't it profitable at all? ”
Liu Qingyuan shook his head, "The more than 20,000 people who were arranged out can only protect themselves, and we can't turn away the victims in the face of the source of the disaster, the most difficult thing for the young owner at the moment is the cotton clothes for the winter, you don't know how cold it is in this northern winter, if there is no winter clothes, I'm afraid those old and weak will all die." ”
Looking at Shen Xing's back and forth, everyone quieted down, 200,000 pieces of cotton clothes, spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy, and it may not be possible to buy it all at once, because even low-quality kapok is very scarce on the market, if ordinary people are in a harvest year, as long as there are tiles to cover their heads, even if they burn wood to get some animal fur on the mountain, they can survive. But now this Shen family manor is simply a ruin, even if you go up the mountain to cut down trees for warmth, there is no place to put it.
Difficult. It's really too difficult, Shen Xing also knew why Liu Qingyuan was in a hurry at this time, his lips were bubbling, and letting him be a Ming Dynasty person to solve such a problem was really a bit of a rhythm that forced people to die.
But I am also a person in the future, so I can't be suffocated to death by this soaked urine. Think about it, down jacket, Nizi coat...... Sweater, by the way, is a sweater, the only thing that is a little feasible at the moment is only a sweater, the technical requirements are not high, and the raw materials are also available, the fucking key is that when I was in high school, I also learned to knit a scarf in order to chase girls, and by the way, I also learned to knit a sweater, you say it's a coincidence.
Shen Xing's face was overjoyed, clapping his hands and shouting, everyone was shocked, could it be that the young owner came up with a solution in a moment. Liu Qingyuan has long understood Shen Xing's strange ideas, and he is also happy in his heart, can such an ancient problem really create another miracle for himself!" Did the young owner come up with a solution? ”
Shen Xing raised his glass and nodded after taking three sips, the audience was in an uproar, and the girls who were listening quietly in the corner got up and applauded, and then saw that Shen Xing wanted to continue to explain and they all fell silent.
"Uncle Liu, you stewards, I wonder if everyone thinks this wool can be made into clothing to keep out the cold?" "The texture of wool such as cotton should be warm, it can also be spun into thread, and if it can be made into cloth, is it that the young owner is saying that it is filled in linen like cotton clothes, no, no, not to mention that the wool required is very large, and it is not as affordable as cotton in terms of value alone." The steward who spoke explained the pros and cons of breaking the wool with a single word, and everyone nodded after thinking about it.
Liu Qingyuan looked at Shen Xing with a disappointed look on his face, Shen Xing didn't care, the wisdom of the ancients can't say that you can crush it if you want to, everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, and everyone sitting here is still a leader in various industries, his only advantage is that he has seen a lot, he fixed his mind: "What if wool is spun into a thread and can be made into clothes?" ”
"If the Shaodong family knows such a miracle skill, it is a great good, the people of the Ming Dynasty have a good way to keep out the cold in the cold winter, the wool is inexhaustible, and the cycle is a great benefit for the Shen family, but in terms of the current predicament, I am afraid that it is far from quenching the thirst!" The steward, who seemed to be in his early thirties, sighed after speaking, and everyone was confused in the rain, why everyone praised the front foot and said that it couldn't be done.
Shen Xing also looked confused, he had already sacrificed such a big killing weapon, and he hadn't scorched your thunder on the outside and on the inside, why did the Ming people die if they were so terrifying, the sky had no eyes. "Please give me advice!" Shen Xing asked humbly. "The young owner is polite, the good food Shen family meal should relieve the worries of the young owner, but because of his short-sightedness, he can only say some disappointing words."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, this young master has a word first, and today we work together, even if there is no good way, it is also a great good thing to have words to make amends, otherwise this young master slapped his head and decided the matter, and then found out afterwards that what he did was useless, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to work hard and hurt money."
The self-proclaimed good steward bowed deeply to Shen Xing again, and then moved closer from a distance and continued: "The law of the young owner is feasible if it is feasible in spring and summer, you don't know, Liang followed the camel team in the Shen family and went to Mongolia to trade, although the desert land is full of cattle and sheep, but there are also seasonal pros and cons. ”
Fuck, a wise man must make a mistake, why didn't he think about this check, how to shear sheep in the winter. "At this moment the cattle and sheep are fat, but the herdsmen will definitely sell them whole, so we will return to the original difficulty, sheepskin jackets are of high quality, and such a quantity of silver taels ......is required," the young man said no more.
The scene was extremely cold all of a sudden, Zhu Yuliang's basin of cold water really poured everyone through, and the leftovers were withdrawn one after another under the busyness of the maids, and the best West Lake Longjing tea brought by Shen Da from Jiangnan was served, but at this moment, no matter how fragrant the tea was, everyone couldn't taste it, and many old people took out old smoking guns from their arms and clicked up.
Shen Xing was aroused by the addiction to smoking, and he touched it in his arms for a long time, but he didn't find a cigarette. "Young Master, are you looking for this thing again!" The dog handed over his two packets of Double Happiness with the lighter, which had cracked a little.
