The grassland also brought the wool harvested this year. Jiang Wenyuan doesn't know how to be technical, and second, he really can't spare time.

Jiang Yuqing couldn't, so he had to temporarily entrust the affairs of the hospital to his master and brother, and concentrate on taking care of the affairs of the woolen workshop.

Maofang Workshop is the name taken by Jiang Yuqing. The name is simple and straightforward, "Suzhou Mansion Warm Wool Workshop". Although it has no cultural heritage, it is better to remember the situation.

Then the recruitment began, and it is expected to recruit 100 workers first, aged 15-40 years old, male or female, requiring good health and dexterity are preferred.

The salary is forty wen a day.

There are a number of other miscellaneous workers, mainly responsible for logistics and other miscellaneous work.

As soon as the news came out, the people of Suzhou, who had been staring at it for a long time, flocked to the gate of the workshop.

Jiang Yuqing only took one day to recruit the full number of people, and many people who did not apply were inevitably sad and disappointed. Jiang Yuqing comforted them and told them not to be sad, the business of the workshop will be good in the future, and it will definitely expand again.

So there was a little more hope in everyone's eyes.

Jiang Yuqing understands them too well.

They are poor not because they are lazy, but because there are not so many jobs in this society that can earn money.

Two days later, trial production began. Because the seventeen skilled hands trained by Jiang Yuqing before have now become qualified nurses in He'an Hospital.

Jiang Yuqing had to dig up his own corners and temporarily transfer half of them from the hospital to temporarily play the role of master, which was also a helpless thing.

As for the master of printing and dyeing, Jiang Wenyuan also entrusted him with favors and dug it up from the state capital next door at a high price.

After half a month of hands-on teaching, the workshop is finally on the right track. Jiang Yuqing only left Luo Weaving as a "technical consultant". The rest were returned to He'an Hospital.

After all, it is easy for female workers to find training. Nurses, a type of work with a certain technical content, are not just someone who can use them. At the very least, you have to be literate!

Jiang Wenyuqing asked his father to find a chief steward who was trustworthy and had certain management experience to manage the workshop on his behalf.

His father sent her a man the next day.

This is called Ju Fan. Originally a big merchant in Jinju, he inadvertently offended the then Jinju prefect in the early years, and his family was ruined. had no choice but to leave his hometown and go to Suzhou to take refuge in his distant cousin who was a small official here.

Later, the prefect of Jinju was subjugated, and his grievances finally came to light, but what he lost could never be returned. He didn't want to go back to that sad place, so he stayed in Suzhou.

Jiang Yuqing secretly inspected him for two days, and felt that this person was steady, courageous and principled, and was indeed a good material for management.

He was officially appointed head of the workshop.

After finishing the work of the Maofang workshop, Jiang Yuqing was tired and lost weight. Looking at the stomach that had finally disappeared, she nodded with satisfaction, so that no one would attack her fat again.

Tuanzi was satisfied, but her father and mother were distressed. Her mother even changed her ways to cook food for her every day, thinking about raising her daughter again.

Jiang Yuqing should eat it, but it is absolutely impossible to raise it back to the original body fat.

The grassland area in Suzhou is not large, and the wool sent is only enough for three months of production, of course. You've got to figure it out.

She mentioned this to her father, and Jiang Wenyuan said, "This is easy to do." In addition to the Xiongnu, there are many tribes in the grasslands outside the pass. Every two months, they would drive sheep or horses into the customs and come to Suzhou City in exchange for some necessary living materials.

As long as we release the news and collect the wool, there will definitely be many people willing to send it. “

Jiang Yuqing was relieved.

Strictly speaking, the territory of 500 miles west of Yumen Pass turned out to be the Central Plains Dynasty. It's just that the previous dynasty was incompetent and lost these territories.

After the establishment of the Great Xia Kingdom, it will be difficult to take it back. Thinking of the endless green grassland, Jiang Yuqing was so envious that tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.

It would be nice if those grasslands could return to the embrace of Great Xia, and then they could raise as many sheep as they wanted.

Of course, I can only think about it now.

The man who sold washed melons before also sent all the dried melon seeds, a total of 1,343 catties.

Jiang Yuqing gave him a purchase price of 15 wen per catty, 1343 catties, that is, 20 taels and 145 wen. After deducting the deposit of five taels given to him before, Jiang Yuqing gave him another 15 taels and 145 wen.

I thought that no one wanted the melon seeds, but I sold them all at once, and I sold them for a good price. The man was holding the silver, and his hands were shaking with excitement.

With this silver, the old lady will have money to take medicine, the eldest son's dowry money will also be available, and he can also build two more houses.

The man asked me to plant next year, do you still want it? Jiang Yuqing told him to rest assured and bold to plant, she wants to plant as much as she wants, and if he can, let him drive the surrounding fathers and villagers to plant together.

Even if it can't be sold for so much silver, the price won't be much lower.

The man happily agreed: "I have left enough seeds, and I will take everyone to plant melons next year." ”

Golden autumn in August. The corn in the counties is ripe.

Two palm-length corn cobs were torn off from corn stalks taller than a human being. Tearing open the wrapped skin, it reveals the golden corn kernels with a little red inside, neat and plump.

After the harvested corn cob is removed from the coat and dried, the grains are rubbed off, and the dust residue is removed, and the average yield per mu is nearly 1,000 catties.

Among the 17 counties, the average yield per mu with the lowest yield is 920 catties, and the highest is 1011 catties.

When the news spread, the people of Suzhou were boiling, and they ran to the streets, and even ran to the gate of the county government to kowtow, just to express their inner gratitude.

In September, after harvesting the barley, the potatoes began to be planed.

The average yield per mu in Suzhou is about 2650 catties. As soon as the news came out, the people cried with joy again, Suzhou was saved, and after this year, they will never go hungry again next year.

Jiang Wenyuan ordered that all county officials must strictly guard this batch of seeds until they are distributed to the people in the following year. But there is a difference, just raise your head to see you!

The county magistrates naturally didn't dare to slack off, something really happened, and this Shangfeng really dared to kill someone.

After the potato harvest was completed, the cotton harvest in each county also welcomed the largest harvest ever.

This year, with enough water for irrigation, people in various counties are working hard to grow cotton while ensuring that their families will not starve to death.

Jiang Wenyuan sold all the cotton he collected to the merchant who won the bid. In this way, the people made money, and the merchants who won the bid were able to reap more profits from the cotton than before, and everyone was happy.

When the two sides handed over, Jiang Wenyuan asked the big cotton merchant if he could order 100,000 pieces of 6-pound quilts with him.

The big cotton merchant was immediately shocked: "Yes, you can, but what do you want so many quilts, my lord." ”

Jiang Wenyuan said worriedly: "Winter is coming soon, and the soldiers in the Yumen Pass camp don't have new quilts yet. Their quilts are all a few years old, and they are no longer warm. As a member of Great Xia, he also wants to do his part for them. ”

The big cotton merchant said: "That's the case, why didn't Hou Ye deduct the cotton of the next county?" ”

Jiang Wenyuan shook his head and said: "How can the number of acres set by the original investment promotion be temporarily changed. Do as you want. If I withhold it privately, it will be a breach of trust. As the head of a government, I can't destroy the Great Wall and do things that are untrustworthy to others. ”

The big cotton merchant was deeply impressed by his character, and the new quilt weighing 6 catties with a market value of more than two taels of silver was finally sold to him at an ultra-low price of 1 tael or 8 yuan.

100,000 pieces, even if it is one tael or eight pieces of silver, it will be a full 180,000 taels. The parties signed a sale and purchase agreement. Jiang Wenyuan first gave a deposit of 50,000 taels, and the remaining 130,000 taels of silver agreed to be paid in a lump sum before the Chinese New Year.

In fact, just himself, he can't make up 10,000 taels even if he is wiped out. These are all bought by his precious daughter.

In addition to Jiang Yu clearing the taxes of the food and fiefdoms, the three-component red given by the Beijing National Pharmacy Bureau, Qiu Shenyi gave her 20%, and this amount alone has nearly 100,000 taels of silver dividends every year.

Because of the relationship between her teaching Heavenly Medicine Skills, her second senior brother couldn't help but say that she divided the profits of Beijing He'an Hospital into 20%, which is another big sum here. Coupled with the "warm wool spinning" outside Suzhou City, not counting the batch of gold, she is also a proper little rich woman.

Now she and her family don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and her brothers have a promising future, and she still has the greatest confidence in the spiritual realm.

Instead of letting the money mold in your hands, you should take it out and do something more meaningful. She plans to donate one thing a year to a big camp starting this year.

After the cotton was put into storage, this year's autumn harvest was officially over. After Jiang Wenyuan counted all the relevant data of various crops, he quickly sent them to the capital.

At the end of September, Warm Wool received a large number of sheep wool and various colors of fur from outside the customs, and at the same time, all kinds of wool and woolen products produced by Warm Wool were also sold to all parts of the country with the caravan.

At the same time, there is also a new style of female red yarn weaving, which is popular for a while.

For the ladies of wealthy families, this job can not only pass the time, but also weave clothes and gloves that are light and warm, which is practical and pleasing to the elders of the family, which is really a good choice.

Girls from poor families can choose to change wages for embroidery or knitting sweaters in ready-to-wear shops. This thing is not like the delicate work of embroidery, which can be done with a little dexterity, and they also have an additional source of income.

In mid-October, Suzhou received its first snow of the winter.

When Jiang Yuqing braved the goose feathers and heavy snow, and carried cotton quilts, a mile-long procession of carriages and horses composed of all kinds of livestock, appeared outside the camp at Yumen Pass, everyone was stunned.

Several generals who rushed over after hearing the news also widened their eyes in shock, pointed to the convoy that could not be seen at a glance, and stammered: "Girl, what are you doing?" ”

Tuanzi said: "It's winter, my father and I will send you a few quilts." ”

Qin Yijian couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "How many are you, how many can you use so many cars." Say, how much is the bottom? ”

"One per person!"

One per person. His camp totaled 100,000 people, that is, 100,000. 100,000 quilts, how much does it cost?

God, aren't the Hou family in Qingzhou going to live this day? I'm afraid I don't even have to dig out my family funds.

From last year to today, how many things have been sent by the Jiang family. Boots, livestock, greens, grain, fruits, and now a hundred thousand quilts, so many that they were almost half the quartermasters of their battalion.

Qin Yijian lived to this age, and it was the first time he saw such an official who didn't make a penny and did his best to make money.

It is the blessing of His Majesty to have such a courtier, the blessing of Great Xia, and the blessing of these people.

Qin Yijian had the heart not to accept it, but thinking of the soldiers' old quilts that were as stiff as bricks and did not keep warm at all, he couldn't say anything about not accepting them.

In the end, he was red-eyed and knelt down to thank Jiang Yu: "Qin, thank you Lord Hou and the county lord for your great kindness!" ”

This move frightened Jiang Yuqing and hurriedly helped him up.

Die young, she will die if she kneels like this. It really would!

100,000 quilts were transported into the camp and distributed on the same day, and the camp was as happy as the New Year. The soldiers touched the new soft quilt, and sighed in their hearts, this little county lord is really a good person. There is no more adorable little girl in this world than her.

In addition, Jiang Yuqing also brought a batch of chilblain cream or a batch of Chinese patent medicine for the treatment of wind and cold. These are the most used medicines in winter.

For these medicines, she unpacked the packages in the spiritual realm for three nights, and after unpacking, she wrapped them in rice paper little by little, exhausting her.

Jiang Yuqing lived in the camp for three days, and in addition to giving lectures to the military doctors, he also revisited a battlefield rescue drill, so as not to forget about it for too long.

When she left the camp and returned home, Qin Yijian directly sent Wei Lingjun to escort her back with a small team.

Despite her repeated excuses, they insisted.

Because this is the highest respect they can give!
