Chapter 596: One More Way to Get Rich

At this time, the cloth industry in the Great Jin Dynasty was still in the era of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and the village chief Xu and his ancestors should have been a village where mulberry farming and weaving industry were combined.

Jiangzhou is rich in cloth, and the climate and soil quality there are also suitable for planting mulberry trees and silkworm babies, but northern Hubei is different.

Northern Hubei is located in the northwest region of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the climate and soil quality are not suitable for the growth of mulberry trees and silkworms, so that the village chief Xu and his ancestors came over and directly caught the blind, and it was very difficult to settle in northern Hubei.

What if someone asks them why they don't go back to Jiangzhou? This brings us to the great earthquake 50 years ago.

Shen Qingqian found out a little information from the memory of the original body, the details are not clear, but the only memory is about how miserable Jiangzhou was at that time.

The earthquake directly destroyed two-thirds of Jiangzhou, and countless people moved to neighboring state capitals, but until now they have not regained their former prosperity.

And the people who were accustomed to planting mulberry and raising silkworms for a living suddenly arrived in the barren land of northern Hubei Province, and they had a lawsuit at that time, and the entanglement was gone, so they could only settle down here.

What will happen after that, Shen Qingqian doesn't know.

"Three sons, six girls, we ...... Can we really grow this cotton? Village Chief Xu looked at the two expectantly.

Shen Qingqian came back to his senses from his thoughts, nodded and said, "Of course you can, but the Northern Hubei Army wants to harvest cotton, and only a small part of the cotton you plant will be left at that time." ”

But this is only temporary, when the area of cotton planting continues to expand, there may be no need for village chief Xu and their cotton in the future, and then they can continue the cause of their ancestors.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly remembered that in the drawings given by the system, there seemed to be something similar to Jenny's loom, so it was a coincidence, there was another way to get rich in northern Hubei.

Northern Hubei is a place rich in minerals, otherwise the Northern Hubei Army would not have held out for so many years, but other materials are relatively scarce, most of them are imported from other state capitals, and every year the government comes forward to buy large quantities of daily needs, such as salt.

What is very speechless is that there is no salt mine in northern Hubei Province, which is rich in minerals, and the salt in northern Hubei is transported from Chenzhou next door.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as we can keep weaving, it's okay to wait." Village Chief Xu said happily.

If they are not allowed to go back to their old professions, many skills will be passed on.

Shen Qingqian pondered for a moment and said to him: "Actually, you can also buy from other families who have grown cotton, so that you can start weaving cloth as soon as this year." ”

"Okay, well, then please ask the six girls to tell us where the cotton is grown, so we can find door-to-door inquiries." Village Chief Xu clapped his hands, thinking quickly in his mind.

Shen Qingqian naturally agreed.

The matter was decided, and she and Shen Shan drove back to Huanxi Courtyard.

When I walked to the fork in the road, I saw three familiar figures in the distance.

Shen Shan took the initiative to stop the mule cart and waved at them, "Third Brother Cheng, Cheng Yun, Shan Gongzi." ”

Since they met, of course, several people went home together.

Ling Yun was very eager to survive and sat in front of Shen Shan to drive.

Sheng Ze glanced at Shan Mancheng several times, but as if he hadn't seen it, he got into the car with a smile on his face and greeted Shen Qingqian.

"Sixth girl, what a coincidence."

Shen Qingqian glanced at Sheng Ze, who had a cold face, and was amused in his heart, but he still politely exchanged a few words with Shan Mancheng, "It's a coincidence, is Shan Gongzi still used to these days?" ”

What she asked was not whether she was used to life, but how it felt to be by Sheng Ze and Ling Yun these days.

"Let's put today's basic update first.,I'll see if I can write two chapters to pay off the debt.,If you write it, you'll put it up before 12 o'clock.,Treasures can read it later."
