401 Call Me to Help?

Some even stuffed the cottonseed into the quilt cover without removing the cottonseeds. As a result, in the spring and south windy days or in March and April when there is a lot of rain, because of the humidity and high moisture in the air, buds actually grew in the quilt...

In short, everything!

There was even the one who dared to offer it to the county magistrate, but the county magistrate blasted it out of the county magistrate angrily in the name of "deliberately teasing", causing countless people to laugh at it.

The county magistrate saw that the so-called "quilt", which was obviously lower than the one sent by Lian Fangzhou, obviously had no idea how many grades, and was clearly fooled, could he not be angry!

The shrewd businessmen who were best at finding business opportunities immediately saw the profit and began buying cotton on a grand scale.

At first, the price was not high. First, I felt that the villagers were honest and coaxed. Second, I felt that all the villagers in the county had planted it. Although this thing has never been seen before, it is actually not rare. Where is it worth buying it at a high price? ?

Of course, the price will definitely not be low when the quilt is sold after the purchase.

Not only will it not be low, but it will be very high and very high.

Who would have guessed that most of the people who planted this cotton were in a conflicted mood at the beginning, and they didn't know how to handle it at first.

The most important thing is that it has not been topped, and the results are naturally very few. Not only few, but small.

In this way, the number is really not much.

In addition, although the country people are easy to coax, but once the quilt thing spreads, who will sell the cotton after receiving it?

What the poor are most afraid of is the winter. Some cannot afford felt blankets or kapok quilts, and can only cover soft mats made of straw or animal skins such as dog skins and cowhide.

Now that we have cotton, and it comes from our own fields, we don't need to spend money to buy it. If we count the number of people in the family, we can't use it to make quilts. Who would be willing to sell it?

Even if the price is very attractive, most people have resisted the temptation.

So after turning around, the businessmen with far less income than imagined had to raise the purchase price.

As soon as they started to compete with each other, the price became higher and higher. By the end of September, it had reached the point of eight taels of silver per pound of cotton!

Such a high price finally made most people unable to withstand the temptation and sold it!

Lian Fangzhou knew the news and sent a letter to Fang Qing and Su Jinghe, saying that the price of the quilt would remain unchanged according to the previously agreed price.

Fang Qing and Su Jinghe quickly replied to her letter, naturally expressing no objection.

The couple and Master Su couldn't help but sigh, and they were more sincere to her. After all, it is not easy at all in this world to not be fascinated by wealth, especially those who were not wealthy before.

Now that the autumn harvest has passed, and the cotton harvest is the busiest season, Lian Fangzhou has finally hired enough people to pick it. Another twenty people were hired to remove cottonseed.

60,000 catties have been sent to the Su family, all of which have been removed from the cottonseeds. There are also 3,000 quilts made by their own workers, with two sizes of seven catties and eight catties.

Because of borrowing the sales channels of the Su family, Lian Fangzhou reduced each quilt by 5 taels of silver to the Su family, but Fang Qing and Su Jinghe couldn't help but she had no choice but to accept it.

Even so, I made more than half a million taels of cotton and quilts sent this month!

In the face of this astronomical figure, the various costs incurred are basically negligible.

Fortunately, everyone saw that the swaggering wagon convoy transported cotton to the Su family. It was just that the Su family borrowed Lian Fangzhou's hands to plant it. They didn't know that Lian Fangzhou made such a big fortune and saved her a lot. Trouble, don't need to spend time on this.

As for the Su family, who would dare to attack their family's idea?

That night, after Lian Li's family had dinner, Lian Hai said to Mrs. Qiao, "Mother, let's go to pick cotton for Fangzhou and the others tomorrow too!"

"What are you talking about!" Mr. Qiao jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted angrily, "You asked me to pick cotton for her!"

"You're not allowed to go either. Our family doesn't lack that few wages. It's serious for you to work hard at home!" Lian Li also said.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little sour in their hearts.

The cotton thing can be said to be the most sensational and most eye-catching thing today.

Lian Li and Mrs. Qiao felt envious, jealous, and hateful towards Lian Fangzhou in their hearts, and the couple were stunned because of this, and they hadn't eaten or slept well for several days.

Although both of them thought that Lian Fangzhou was just working for the Su family, but with such a big benefit, the Su family leaked through their fingers, and that was enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for several years!

This damn girl is really lucky!

Qiao's heart was full of discomfort, and she wanted to find out how much money the Su family gave to Lian Fangzhou and the others. Even Qing'er asked, but unfortunately no one told her what she wanted to know.

She is not happy in her heart! It is cursed that Lian Fangzhou is unlucky! But his son asked himself to help her. Isn't that stabbing her in the heart and lungs with a knife!

"It's not about a few wages!" Lian Hai frowned and said, "Anyway, I have my own reasons for what I do, and you'll know when the time comes! Mother, you don't have to go, anyway, I'll go tomorrow. !"

"You!" Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she suffocated in her chest, and she said in a trembling voice, "You, are you still my son! If you don't help me teach that dead girl to vent your anger, you are still forcing me to bow to her! Don't go! You're not allowed to go either! If you dare to go, I, I—"

Qiao Shi, I didn't know how to threaten my son for a long time.

Lian Li, who had been pondering for a moment, suddenly grabbed Mrs. Qiao, nodded and said, "Go! Let's all go! We are a family, and we should help out! We can't compare, even outsiders. Isn't that right? Ah Hai, it's okay for your mother to go to pick cotton. Let's go and ask if there is anything else to help. This time Fangzhou has hired so many people, shouldn't someone take care of these people? What if they steal the cotton! We are also thinking of Fangzhou!"

Qiao Shi was about to contradict her husband in a rage, but when she heard this, she rolled her eyes and went silent.

Of course, her family didn't sell the cotton seeds to Lian Fangzhou at the beginning, she sowed them in the ground.

But it didn't take care of it and left it to fend for itself.

When the cotton incident spread, the couple rushed to the ground to look. I was dumbfounded, half of them died without knowing when, and the remaining half were sparsely surviving in the weeds. Woolen cloth!

The two were very disappointed, and they also complained about each other for this. Even more hatred for the harvest of Lian Fangzhou's family.

At this moment, Lian Li's word "steal" made Qiao's mind liven up.
