Chapter 629: Slaughtered
In fact, every time he passed through a city gate, if it weren't for the temporary guidance of the seal personally stamped by Cui Futai here in Nanyue Prefecture, it would not be so easy for John to go to Saibei.
It's just that even if he has a guide, there are a lot of things along the way.
At first, John was asked by Ning Laosi to hide in the carriage, and he was a little unhappy.
However, when he passed through several villages and wanted to burn them to death as demons and monsters, he suddenly shrunk his neck and kept to his obedience.
When the group arrived in Saibei, it had already been a month.
Almost all of this year's cotton in Ning Laosan's Zhuangzi was sold to the barracks.
Therefore, Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er sent the loom, and they couldn't start weaving immediately.
However, Ning Laosan is not in a hurry, after all, there is a lot of cotton production this year, so there are a lot more seeds.
With these cotton seeds, in addition to the two villages bought by Ning Laosan, more than half of the fields were planted with cotton, and many people in the surrounding villages also planted cotton.
Because he felt that the land for growing cotton in his own Zhuangzi was really small, Ning Laosan also went to buy another Zhuangzi, and all the land in it was used to grow cotton.
Hearing the third uncle's arrangement, Ning Mian'er frowned.
"Third uncle, I'm afraid this is inappropriate.
Although there are many cotton seeds, in the same way, the cultivation of grain cannot be left behind.
After all, there is a shortage of food here in Saibei, and if the big guys go to plant cotton, I am afraid that everyone's rations will become a problem in the future. ”
Ning Laosan smiled heartily at Ning Mian'er.
"It seems that Mian'er has really grown up, don't worry, your grandmother warned the third uncle when we came to Saibei.
Cotton and grain will only be planted.
In the villages around Zhuangzi, they were also instructed to leave at least half of the land for growing grain.
The chiefs of those villages have been here in Saibei for almost several lifetimes.
More than the third uncle, I understand the horror of not having food.
Although cotton can keep warm and sell for money, it is not a satisfying thing in the end. ”
Of course, the biggest reason why Ning Pengpeng would tell Ning Laosan like this is naturally because the high-yield crops of sweet potatoes in Saibei have been promoted.
In this place of Saibei, in the past, there was a shortage of food, and even if you had money in your hand, you couldn't buy it.
Now, because of the relationship between these high-yield crops, the problem of satiety for the people of Saibei has been greatly solved.
The emergence of cotton is equivalent to solving the problem of food and clothing.
However, although the villagers who helped Ning Laosan to work in the Zhuangzi were very jealous of the wages earned in the Ning family's Zhuangzi.
But the people in the village are all old and sophisticated.
Hearing that Ningjia Zhuangzi was willing to provide cotton seeds for free, and they would buy them after planting, the villagers were tempted, but the Lizheng people pressed them to the death, preventing them from planting all the land with cotton.
Originally, the villagers were still unwilling, but after Ning Laosan learned the news, he asked the people in Zhuangzi to explain to the villagers how much cotton each household would collect, and they would be a little more restrained.
Even if this is pressed to grow these cottons, the number is very scary.
It is believed that when the next cotton harvest comes, it will not only be enough for the barracks, but also for other places to be sold.
Therefore, the loom that Ning Laosi brought with them was very timely.
Of course, in addition to the loom that has been made into a finished product and the skilled weaver, there are also a few old carpenters who also went to Saibei together.
If there are only a few finished looms, it is definitely not enough.
With the existence of the old carpenter, when the cotton is harvested, I believe that the finished looms here in Saibei will definitely be several times the number.
It's different from when he arrived in Saibei, and he devoted himself to dealing with looms.
When John arrived in Saibei, he was like a fish in water.
After all, on the side of Saibei, there were not a few ordinary people who actually saw the appearance of blonde and blue-eyed aliens on the street.
It's just that ordinary people with such an alien appearance will be strictly investigated.
Many of them are still merchants in the northern part of the city, and their ancestors have been here for generations.
And, of course, the mixed hybrids.
Although the common people of the Great Jin Dynasty hated aliens, there were also many people who liked the appearance of aliens.
Therefore, there are actually not a few ordinary people with foreign blood in Saibei.
It's just that they don't admit that they are aliens!
Moreover, as long as these ordinary people with foreign blood honestly open shops in Saibei City, they don't do anything.
Wu Shuo, the mighty general stationed in Saibei, will not take these innocent people.
Moreover, General Wu only guarded the city gates to foreign tribes.
Absolutely do not let some things that want to shake the national capital of the Great Jin Dynasty be easily sent out of the pass and let the aliens get it.
Therefore, although John's face was dark, the common people in the city, at most, took a strange look at it, and went to do what they wanted to do.
There was no road at all, and those ordinary people were afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.
This made John go shopping here several times, and he was happy when he came back.
After all, these days, he has bought a lot of good goods from those fur shops in Saibei City.
When he bought more and more, almost stuffing the fur of the two carriages, Ning Laosi and the others were a little empty, and then remembered him.
Then when I went to see Kuroko, the corners of my mouth twitched a little when I saw the furs on his carriage and the price he bought.
Obviously, these furs, sold to John in the shop, are several percent more expensive.
It is estimated that it was because of John's face that he sold it to him at a higher price.
Unexpectedly, John was still happy and felt that he had picked up a big bargain.
Although John must have made money by shipping it back, why should he receive such the same fur at a low price?
John, who was originally happy, was stunned on the spot after hearing Ning Laosi tell him that he was slaughtered.
Ning Mian'er looked at John visibly from the side, and then his ears and shoulders drooped.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Misning, I didn't expect that there would be such profiteers in your country."
Hearing him say this, Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er were a little speechless.
They felt that this John was mocking their uncle and nephew to their faces, but there was no evidence.
"Although the price is a few percent higher, the materials are all good materials, and I believe that if you bring them back to make finished products, you can sell a lot of gold coins."
Ning Laosi cleared his throat and comforted John.
When John heard this, his face looked a little better.
However, because his complexion was too dark, Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er didn't feel much.
Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
