Chapter 100: Planting Cotton
On the second day when Ji Yunchuan led people to pull away the silk cloth, Yun Heng led people to deliver two carts full of cotton seeds to Ye Sangwan.
Ye Sangwan pulled it casually, and found that each seed was very full, and it could be seen that Yun Heng had put a lot of effort into collecting these cotton seeds.
As the only clothing that could be used to keep out the cold in this dynasty, the price of cotton was relatively high.
Like the previous living environment of the original owner, wanting a new quilt or a new cotton coat is like ascending to the sky.
To buy a quilt, it is better to pick up more firewood, and you can also save some money to buy rations.
Adhering to the principle of "not uncommon", Ye Sangwan did not hesitate to prepare for a trial.
"Ah Wan, now that the ground outside is frozen, I'm afraid it won't be feasible to apply the previous method of rapid growth fertilizer, right?"
Yun Heng stared solemnly at the neatly stacked cotton seeds in the warehouse, not knowing where his thoughts were at this time.
Ye Sangwan comforted: "It's okay, I'll try something else." I can't do this, isn't there still Ji Yunchuan! ”
Yun Heng exhaled a turbid breath at this time.
Presumably, the supplies for the border soldiers to survive the winter are very headaches.
Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Ye Sangwan couldn't help but feel distressed: "Go back to Xingchen Courtyard to take a bath and sleep well, right?" It's not just you who have been going this way, your brothers should be tired too. ”
Named Yun Heng's subordinates, Yun Heng was a little silent, these brothers accompanied him from birth to death, and indeed did not live a stable life.
Thinking that Ye Sangwan had arranged a "dormitory" in the left courtyard of Xingchen Courtyard, Yun Heng said gratefully: "They asked me to thank you personally, the shelf bed and private cabinets, they like it very much." ”
Dormitory is a word that Ye Sangwan accidentally blurted out, but he didn't expect Yun Heng's memory to be so good.
Ye Sangwan grinned, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!" I am only doing my small part, and their selfless dedication is worthy of admiration. ”
If you have a choice, who wants to go to the border of death?
Yun Heng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and finally couldn't resist the sleepiness of not sleeping for a few days, and returned to Yun's house.
As soon as Yun Heng left, Ye Sangwan stored the cotton seeds temporarily stored in the warehouse into the seed warehouse of the "Black Soil Planting Laboratory".
Immediately afterwards, Ye Sangwan also entered the space together.
"Ding Dong!" As soon as Ye Sangwan came in, he found that the cotton seeds were neatly placed on the shelves, and at this time, the question bubble above his head was marked: The quality of the seeds can be upgraded, is it upgraded?
There are two options below, yes and no, Ye Sangwan immediately clicked yes, and then ......
10,000 gold coins were deducted......
Ye Sangwan rolled his eyes at the sky, removed all the crops and other things that had been planted in a certain amount before, replaced them with cotton seeds, and set up the automatic planting and harvesting functions.
When she came out of the warehouse, Momora hurriedly locked it.
Only then did he walk to the second door, Qing Xi walked over with a basket and said: "Master, Dongbai sent someone to tell you that the Zhao family took the two people in the third room to the town to find Ye Dasheng, and learned that Ye Dasheng sold people to Renyazi, Zhao directly fainted, and now he is in Jingshan Medical Center, master, do you want to go there?" ”
"If you don't go, everyone has a life." The little pickled matter of the old Ye family, Ye Sang was not interested at all.
With this free time, it is better to spend more time with my sister-in-law and nephew.
Xu Dani is still in confinement, and with Ye Sangwan's medical guidance, she didn't endure the ridiculous remarks that she couldn't take a shower and wash her hair for a month.
Seeing that Xu Dani was about to go out of confinement, the nephew's name had not yet been named, and everyone shouted with a little young master, a little young master.
From Ye Xiuzhu's mouth, his nephew was from the word "Yi", and under the urging of Ye Sangwan, he finally took the name of "Ye Yicheng". Nickname inheritance.
When Ye Sang went to see Chengcheng in the evening, Xiao Baozi was sleeping sweetly, and he was chirping in his dreams, which was very cute.
Seeing that Xu Dani was learning embroidery, Ye Sangwan asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, do you plan to host a full moon banquet or a 100-day banquet?" ”
Xu Dani raised her head a little dazedly, as if asking: Is it going to be full-term?
But soon he came back to his senses and said, "100 days feast!" At present, the inheritance is still small, and it is not easy to get sick when it is older and then take it out. ”
Ye Sangwan nodded, "Sister-in-law is very thoughtful. ”
Xu is voice made a noise to Ye Yicheng, he moved uneasily, Ye Sangwan knew the tediousness and fatigue of taking care of the child, and gestured with his eyes, and left Surong Courtyard.
When he returned to Xinghuiju, Ye Sangwan persuaded a dry maid to retire on the grounds of taking a nap.
Dodging into the space, Ye Sangwan was shocked by the white cotton in the warehouse of the Black Earth Laboratory.
It's just a stick of incense outside, and the cotton in this space has been harvested three times of cotton, and the seeding process has been completed.
Ye Sangwan flipped through the finished product function of the "Mechanized Sericulture Laboratory" and found that there was no automatic garment function.
"Taoliang, please ask Manager Jiang and Steward Yang to come over."
Tao Liang said a little depressedly: "Master, you have only been lying down for less than a cup of tea, how did you get up?" ”
"Suddenly I thought of something that I didn't deal with, you go quickly!" Ye Sangwan urged.
Tao Liang reluctantly turned around and went outside to order someone to spread the word.
Chu Sui hurriedly brought over with clean clothes, "The master is going to get up?" Is it good to wear this outfit? ”
Ye Sangwan said "um", and when he cleaned himself up, Jiang Lu and Steward Yang were already waiting in the study.
The two respectfully shouted "master" to her, and Ye Sangwan motioned for the two to sit down.
At this time, Momoro had already brewed hot tea and filled it up.
"It's been cold lately, what are you all busy with?"
The two glanced at each other, and Jiang Lu said in fear: "There is nothing to do in the front yard, except for the guards who change shifts, Jiang Nan takes the rest of the people to burn charcoal and hunt in the back mountain." ”
Steward Yang then said: "The small workshop is a little busy, and the idle people have been sent over to help." ”
In other words, there are no idlers available at the moment.
"I heard that Jiang Nan's charcoal burning skills are very good, and it is very commendable to take the initiative to take the job, and this month I will be rewarded with 1 tael of silver, which is publicly praised. The rest of the people who helped were all according to the size of the merit, and Manager Jiang looked at the awards. ”
"Yes." Jiang Lu responded in his mouth, but muttered in his heart: Master, what do you want to do?
Ye Sangwan looked at the restrained appearance of the two, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Yun Gongzi transported a batch of cotton back to the house, I plan to make a batch of coats, at the moment there may not be enough manpower in the house, see if there is anyone in the village who is willing to come to work, the craftsmanship is not informal, and the general manager of the salary Jiang will give it according to the market, or use cotton to deduct." ”
"Yes...... Master, this cotton is a rarity! Jiang Lu couldn't help but exclaim.
Ye Sangwan waved his hand, "No matter how rare it is, there is nothing lacking in our small garden." Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, it is a little bit of help! ”
"Steward Yang!" Ye Sangwan suddenly took out the drawings of the military coat printed out of the library and handed it to her, "Make a few samples first, and let the women in the village make them according to the samples."
In addition, they should clean up a room in the workshop, and have enough tea and charcoal pipes every day, and let them work in it if they wish! ”
The two of them responded again and again, and when they walked out of the study, their backs couldn't help but straighten.
The Ye family Xiaoyuan suddenly recruited female workers to make clothes, and the women of Banyuepo Village and Wang Village heard the news and rushed over to sign up overnight.
Previously, they made a lot of money by opening up the barren jade belt mountain, and there was a lot more grain at home, which made many men at home can't help but straighten their waists, and there will be more than two months before the New Year.
Now, the Ye family Xiaoyuan is recruiting workers again, which is like the rhythm of sending money to everyone.
Even if Ye Sang stayed in Xinghuiju at night, he could still hear the bustling registration sound in the front yard.
"Choose my mother, my mother's craftsmanship in making clothes is a must in the village, and everyone in the village knows it!"
"Choose my daughter, my daughter's embroiderer is also one of the best in the village!"
"Pick me, choose me! Without embroidery, I can make three ready-to-wear garments a day! ”
Everyone is afraid that they will not be able to choose, and the baskets they are carrying are all in the embroidery work they do, and now they are all in the air, and you push me.
Jiang Lu's son Jiang Shen yelled: "Don't crowd, everyone, the master said that as long as the craftsmanship is passable, you can get the job, now everyone is queuing, I will register for everyone first, and I will start to officially lead the work tomorrow."
This time it is a cotton coat, and the salary is calculated according to 35 Wen/piece, and you can also exchange it for cotton with labor, five pieces of cotton per catty, and one knot in ten days. The details will be explained tomorrow, and those who want to sign up will line up! ”
A lively discussion erupted in the crowd, and there was a queue while discussing.
"Five pieces can be exchanged for a pound of cotton, so isn't it possible to have a pound of cotton in less than two days? You can get several cotton clothes in ten days, and if you make a futon, you can get a bed! ”
"But no, when I went to the town the day before yesterday, I went to Nabu Village, and the cotton was sold for one hundred and twenty wen a catty! This Ye family is too kind! ”
"Value is indeed worth it! Do a little more years ago, and when you get cotton, you will have new cotton clothes and new bedding at home! ”
Ye Sangwan stood on the edge of the wall, the corners of his lips curled.
Tao Liang couldn't help but say: "Master, the villagers are praising you for your kindness!" ”
Ye Sangwan couldn't help but sigh, "Let Dongbai come back tomorrow, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart." ”
"The master is worried about the homeless?"
"Yes! At present, the refugees at the border pass are fleeing in all directions, and this town of Uiyama is a fortress leading to Kyoto, and the farther you go to Kyoto, the colder it gets, and I am afraid that it will snow. Refugees may be in a hurry, and it has been half a month since Ruoshui closed its trade routes.
According to the footsteps, it should be about the same! ”
Ye Sangwan heard that the people in this pass were short, but they were very strong, and their brains were extremely flexible, not to mention, they were also called barbarians.
The combat value of armed forces is extremely high, and if you encounter a crowd of refugees, you may not be able to attack the villages on the road.
Zhu Chaozhang mentioned this matter not only once, but every time he mentioned it, Ye Sangwan was terrified.
It's better not to have any, but you have to do complete protection.
Ye Sangwan said solemnly: "Ordered Jiang to arrange people to patrol several entrances and exits in the village, don't let the people who are born enter at will, if there is any danger, immediately ring the gong to warn!" ”
