733: Growing grass and raising sheep?
Rong Jiu thinks too much, He Wan generally doesn't think others are stupid, people who think like this are either really smart, like Xiao Yunting can play with others in applause, or they are really stupid people.
Rong Jiu is not stupid, but no one taught him hard when he was a child, and after his sister Rong Yuniang married into Shifu, the Rong family held Rong Jiu, but still didn't teach him anything really useful.
The female workers in the weaving workshop are not afraid of anything, and the embroidery in the embroidery workshop is not all made by the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop, and at least more than half of the embroidery is purchased from outside.
The female workers in the weaving workshop are He Wan's long-term employees, no businessman will decide how many people he should hire based on a certain order, long-term employees are to meet daily needs, when there is a sudden large order, they will rush to complete the work, and they will hire temporary manpower!
Wool socks and wool gloves are not difficult to weave, there are female workers in Qin'an County who are willing to come to the weaving workshop to work, and there are also those who have not taken this step for a while because of various restrictions, He Wan is ready to provide raw materials and invite those women who want to earn some wages but can't go out to complete Xiao Yunting's order together.
After returning to Qin'an County, He Wan discussed with Cheng Qing, and Cheng Qing learned that He Wan had placed an order for 30,000 pairs of socks and gloves, He Wan was very happy, and did not forget to remind He Wan:
"The idea is good, but you have to pay attention to supervision, after all, it is not under the nose, and the quality is easy to be uneven."
It is not a unified production of machine assembly lines, and each pair of gloves and socks is different, but Cheng Qing doesn't want this difference to be too big, first, to ruin the reputation of the weaving workshop, and secondly, to give defective products to the soldiers who killed the enemy on the front line, Cheng Qing feels that his conscience is at a loss!
He Wan nodded, "I know it, it's convenient for me to keep an eye on it personally, the wages of the weaving workshop are not so easy to earn." ”
For the long-term development of the weaving workshop, He Wan cares more about quality than Cheng Qing.
He Wan has the heart to help the women in Qin'an County, but she doesn't want them to get it for nothing, and she won't give the wool thread to those women who don't care about it, if the quality of the socks or gloves knitted is not good, He Wan will not only not pay the wages, but also let the other party pay for the waste of raw materials.
Cheng Qing nodded frequently after listening, Ci is not in charge, if He Wan is only soft-hearted and unprincipled, many ideas will be hit head-on by the bloody reality!
He Wan also said Yu Xian's proposal, and Cheng Qing thought it was a good idea.
When Hu Xiaolang and Shao Bao went to Lanzhou City to see the world, Cheng Qing did not let other students from the county school idle, Cheng Qing took a group of students to the countryside to visit and investigate.
When students go to the county to study and study with Cheng Qing, they want to take scientific examinations and become masters.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Qing had already become a master, but he had to wear an official robe to drill into the countryside.
Although the countryside in the northwest is not like the south, when it rains, the feet are full of mud, but it is definitely not comfortable to walk on the streets of the county - Qin'an County was not so comfortable before, since Cheng Qing came, the streets have slowly become tidy, especially this time Cheng Qing returned to Qin'an, the county government has one more kind of errand called "cleaner", as the name suggests, it is specially hired to sweep the streets.
It's fresh.
They knew that when a noble person came, the officials would clean up the vendors on the street and water the road, so that the dust raised from the sky would not stain the nobleman's face.
As far as Qin'an County is concerned, only the main streets are paved with stone slabs, which can sweep away the dust, and the others are all loess, it doesn't matter if they are swept or not, and the loess can't be swept clean.
Cheng Qing felt that it was very related.
Urban sanitation is a symbol of civilization, clean places, people will live in a better mood, the environment is dirty and messy, and the mental outlook of residents will be poor.
In addition to civility, good hygiene can also reduce the spread of diseases.
Cheng Qing was also upset when he saw the loess streets in Qin'an County.
By the end of this year, she will turn all the streets in the county into stone slabs, or simply start a kiln to burn bricks and use green bricks to pave the ground.
Cheng Qing's ambition, the students don't know yet, everyone only knows that since the yamen hired "cleaners" and divided the jurisdiction of each "cleaner", the entire Qin'an County is indeed much cleaner and tidier!
As for going to the countryside for "research", in Cheng Qing's words, it is investigation and research, let them conduct field investigations to see why the people of Qin'an County are poor and whether there is any way to help them get rid of poverty.
After researching the jurisdiction of the entire Qin'an County, Cheng Qing called the students together, including Rong Jiu, Hu Xiaolang and Shao Bao, who had just returned from Lanzhou City, to let everyone brainstorm.
The students looked at each other, not feeling that this was a problem they could understand.
Cheng Qing encouraged them to speak boldly and speak their minds freely.
One student had the audacity to say that Qin An had little arable land.
"The book says that the soil in the north is fertile, and you can harvest whatever you plant, and that the climate in the south is good, and the grain can be harvested twice a year, but the land in our northwest is neither fertile, nor is the climate good, so we can only grow wheat."
The student was still a little sad as he spoke.
Although he had never farmed, it was unjust to think that he was reincarnated in such a barren place.
If it is in the south, a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, he may be sent to the school at a few years old, and he does not have to wait until Cheng Qing takes office in Qin'an to have a book to read.
Cheng Qing seemed to see through his thoughts and patted him on the shoulder:
"Don't be poor in the northwest, you are already luckier than many people!"
The real poor are running around every day for a living, even if Cheng Qing recruits students in the county school, the poor will not come.
It's very tiring to be alive, what kind of reading changes their fate, it is a very distant thing for them, far less real than a multigrain steamed bun in front of them now.
After all, if you don't study, you still have a chance to live, and if you don't eat steamed buns, you will starve to death immediately.
Cheng Qing asked carefully, this student who said that Qin'an had little arable land and barren land, he really couldn't think of any way for a while.
Cheng Qing's eyes fell on Shao Bao, Shao Bao was looked at weakly, and replied stubbornly: "...... Raising more sheep? ”
The students laughed.
Shao Bao's family is a sheep raiser, so he only knows how to raise sheep!
Cheng Qing didn't hit him, and asked him with a smile: "If everyone stops farming and goes to raise sheep, there is not enough food to eat, and there are not so many places to herd sheep." ”
yes, what then?
Thinking that the thousands of sheep at home had no grass to eat, all because he was talking too much in front of Cheng Qing, Shao Bao panicked.
Rong Jiu suddenly raised his head: "Sheep eat grass, people eat grain, the land where grain is planted can't be moved, so much wasteland outside the city, is it used to grow grass?" ”
Anyway, it's empty, and if you sprinkle some grass seeds, I don't know if you can grow grass.
Sheep grow up eating grass, wool can be sold to the weaving mill, sheepskin, mutton are valuable, sheep keepers sell the sheep to have income, do not move the grain field, do not affect the grain harvest.
Rong Jiu is a flash of inspiration, grass and grain are grown in the field, and salt, salt mines are dug a little less, but grass and grain are planted every year, and they can be there every year.
The students all stared at Rong Jiu and did not speak.
Growing grass and raising sheep?
The herdsmen on the grassland don't grow grass, and when the livestock is gone, they change places to graze.
Cheng Qing laughed, "No, you have to try it yourself!" ”
