Chapter 400 (1/2)
Others even filled into the quilt cover without removing the cottonseed. As a result, in the spring and the south wind days or the rainy March and April, because of the humidity and the large moisture in the air, they actually sprouted in the quilt
In a word, everything!
What's more, he also bravely offered to the county magistrate. As a result, the county magistrate angrily blew out the County Yamen in the name of ”deliberately teasing”, which caused countless people to laugh.
The county Lord saw the so-called ”quilt” which was obviously lower than that sent by lianfangzhou. He didn't know how many grades and clearly fooled. Can he not be angry!
Those smart businessmen who are best at looking for business opportunities immediately saw the profit and began to buy cotton.
At first, the price was not high. First, I thought that the country people were honest and easy to coax. Second, I thought that all the farmers in the county had planted it. Although I had never seen it before, it was actually rare. Where is it worth paying a high price for it?
Of course, the price of quilt will not be low.
Not only will it not be low, but it will be very high.
Who knows that when people first grow this cotton, most of them are in the mood of resistance, plus they don't know how to handle it, so there's no reason for the long potential!
The most important thing is that with no topping, the results are naturally rare. Not only small, but also small.
In this way, the number is not much.
In addition, although the country people are easy to coax, as soon as the quilt business spreads, who will sell the cotton after receiving it?
What the poor are most afraid of is winter. Some people can't afford felt blanket or kapok quilt. They can only cover soft mat made of straw or animal skin such as dog skin and cowhide.
Now with cotton, and it's from my own land, and I don't need to spend money to buy it. It's not enough for several people in my family to make quilts. Who is willing to sell it?
Even if the price is attractive, most people have survived the temptation.
Then, after a round, the few businessmen who had more money than they thought had to raise the purchase price.
So the competition between them started, and the price was getting higher and higher. By the end of September, it was a jin of cotton and eight liang of silver!
Such a high price finally makes the vast majority of people unable to resist the temptation to sell!
Lian Fangzhou knew the news and sent a letter to Fang Qing and Su Jinghe, saying that the price agreed before would not change and the sale price of quilts would not change.
Fang Qing and Su Jinghe wrote back to her soon. Naturally, they had no objection.
The couple and Mr. Su can't help but sigh, and treat her more sincerely. After all, it's not easy for people in this world not to be dazzled by wealth, especially those who were not rich at first.
Now that autumn harvest is over, cotton is the busiest harvest season. Lianfangzhou has finally hired enough people to pick it. Twenty more people were hired to remove the cottonseed.
Sixty thousand jin has been sent to the Su family, all of which have been cottonseed removed. There are also three thousand quilts made by our own workers, with two specifications of seven Jin and eight Jin.
Because of the sales channel of Su's family, Lian Fangzhou will reduce five Liang silver for each quilt and give it to Su's family. Fang Qing and Su Jinghe can't help but accept it.
