The Ninth Princess smiled, "It's simple, I'll send someone to get it tomorrow, and I don't have to worry about Mrs. Derui and Mrs. Qi San." ”

The ninth princess came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving six hundred taels of silver and leaving in a hurry.

One pound of wool is six taels of silver, and one hundred pounds of six hundred taels of silver.

It can be seen that the wool business is so good that it is enviable.

Mrs. Qi was also quite red when she saw that the wool was so valuable, but the third brother and sister had already participated in the shares, and she couldn't continue to ask for shares, in case her mother-in-law said that she was shallow-eyed.

Old Madam Qi glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law vaguely, not to mention that the eldest daughter-in-law's eyes were red, she was a little red.

Six hundred taels of silver a day, eighteen thousand taels of silver a month, and twelve months of a year, that is more than two hundred thousand taels of silver.

If production increases, earn more.

After Emperor Zhou Ping entered the palace and said that wool and wool had a great relationship with the nomads around the Great Zhou, Emperor Zhou Ping called several henchmen over, especially the people from the household department.

Everyone discussed with each other, some agreed, some opposed.

But until the matter is settled, everyone can speak freely. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong.

Gu Shao was the first to communicate with Liu Paner, and he had already thought about various pros and cons. During the discussion, his insights and methods made Emperor Zhou Ping and the courtiers feel bright.

What Liu Paner said was only a general strategy, but what Gu Shao said was a detailed operation. and the various results that these operations are about to bring.

After seven days of discussion, Emperor Zhou Ping decided to give it a try.

This year, such a thing was handed over to Gu Shao, and the deputy was Xiao Song, the son of Song Yushi, who was quite capable in the household department.

Lord Xiao Song followed Gu Shao to the woolen workshop built by the official family, where the workers were combing and spinning, and all of them were covered with cloth.

"Master Gu, these people are covered with face towels, can they breathe smoothly?" Lord Xiao Song asked curiously, this should be uncomfortable.

Gu Shao chuckled, "That's what Mrs. Derui requested, because the wool is very dirty and dusty, and if it doesn't cover its mouth and nose, it will suck the dirt into the lungs and make you sick." Covering your mouth and nose in advance may be uncomfortable, but you can stay healthy. Xiao Song, do you say that health is important, or is comfort important? ”

Lord Xiao Song replied without hesitation: "Of course, health is important, health is lifelong and long-term; Comfort is only temporary, if it is unhealthy, how can it be comfortable? ”

Gu Shao nodded, and replied with a chuckle: "What Lord Xiao Song said is that these workers work for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, and they can rest early, so if they are uncomfortable at work, they can be comfortable when they rest." ”

After Mrs. Derui perfected the drawings, Gu Shao began to let many craftsmen quickly make carding machines and pay-off machines, so now he can still catch the tail of winter and make a fortune for the court.

However, this kind of business will be there every year in the future, and it will be straightened out in the first year.

Under the supervision of Gu Shao and Xiao Song, before the arrival of winter, the woolen yarn with a daily output of 300 catties was put on the market. These yarns were directly transported to Jiangnan by Gu Shao and Lord Xiao Song.

Although Jiangnan is not as cold as the north, the cold in the south is gloomy and cold, and the moisture is heavy, almost to the bone. Of course, wool is a warm weapon that will be welcomed.

In the capital, the wool of six taels of silver and one pound was directly doubled to twelve taels of silver and one catty.

Even so, demand is still in short supply.

Merchants with a keen sense of smell also recognized the benefits of wool and inquired about how to make it.

It's just that Liu Paner and Master Gu have been keeping it a secret, so these people didn't find out.

But there is no shortage of smart people, and of course the wool is spun from wool.

Wool is similar to cotton in that it can be spun into thread.

As a result, many families or big merchant countries have taken a fancy to this market and have gathered experienced craftsmen to improve the textile machine.

Some even start spinning wool thread directly with a cotton yarn spinning machine.

Although it can also be imitated, the thickness is different, and the quality is not good.

In fact, there is a good quality, but it is not as soft as the wool I bought, which is so soft and colorful.

This winter, with the sweater, it's a little warmer.

Liu Paner also received a letter from Li Dabao at home, and the double cropping rice was successfully planted. The output of the first season was as high as 750 catties; The output of the second season was slightly lower, but it also reached 600 catties.

In this way, in Jixiang Town, an acre of good paddy field, after intensive cultivation, the average yield per mu is 1,300 catties, and the rice field is fishing, and an acre of land can also harvest dozens of catties of small fish and shrimp.

The new rice breeding and planting methods were compiled into a book, and Lord Liu brought them to the capital.

The two officials in charge of agriculture sent by His Majesty also returned, and confirmed that they were true.

Emperor Zhou Ping got such a report and walked back and forth happily.

Empress Zhao saw her husband's excited appearance and smiled, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, one acre of land can feed a family, no emperor can do it, but Your Majesty has done it, Your Majesty is wise." ”

Emperor Zhou Ping smiled, "It's because Mrs. Derui is good at farming and constantly innovating technology, otherwise I wouldn't have such a credit." The high-yield seeds obtained in Jixiang Village last year were planted in other places, and various methods of fertilization were also used in Jixiang Village, and the yield was also quite gratifying, reaching 550 catties in a single season. Farther to the south, three crops of rice can be grown, and the yield is higher in a year. ”

Empress Zhao was also happy for His Majesty, thinking of what Liu Pan'er said before, "Your Majesty, now think about what Mrs. Derui said before, it really makes sense to exchange our grain for wool beef and mutton from the surrounding countries in the west." If there is too much grain to eat, it will inevitably cause grain prices to drop. Although the common people had their stomachs full, they did not increase their income because of the bumper grain harvest, and they could not buy an extra piece of clothing. ”

"Now we can sell our surplus grain in exchange for beef, mutton, wool, and other goods. It can not only enrich the commodities of the Great Zhou, but also stabilize the domestic grain price. Besides, the grain trade is also a powerful tool to control neighboring countries. Once the war starts, the grain will not be sold directly. Without food, the impact on a country is even greater. ”

The more Emperor Zhou Ping listened, the brighter his eyes became, "What the queen said is that this matter can indeed be set as a long-term national policy. They can exchange cattle and sheep for good and cheap grain in our big week, and they don't know how to grow it. The food is in our hands, and they dare not come nonsense. ”

With this good news, Emperor Zhou Ping and Empress Zhao rewarded Liu Paner with a lot of things. After Li Yuanqing returns to Beijing, he will reward the official position and the decree together.

Knowing that Li Yuanqing was coming back, Liu Paner packed her luggage, said goodbye to Mrs. Qi, and prepared a generous gift.

"These days, thanks to the care of the Qi family, I am grateful in my heart. This small gift, please accept it from the old lady. ”
