Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

Cotton is a good thing to keep out the cold. Li Zheng once thought of going to Mian County to buy a batch of cotton, but due to various considerations such as transportation, safety, and economy, he had to give up in the end.

Now that he heard Yang Yuanzu mention this matter, his heart began to come alive.

So he asked: "Although cotton is not a valuable thing in Mian County, the carriage and personnel expenses on this road are a big expense for us. Is the cost too high if it is just for cotton? I wonder where this cotton cloth is? How much will it be priced at?"

If the price is too high, it will be difficult for ordinary people to afford it; if the price is too low, they will lose money.

Yang Yuanzu replied: "We can set up a special cotton purchasing department, and I will handle the transportation. As long as we can transport enough cotton to ensure production, we will make money here."

"As for the price of this cotton cloth, we will price it based on quality and color. The cheaper solid color series will be priced at 2 to 5 taels, and the color series with complex craftsmanship will be priced higher. We will price it according to market demand."

Li Zheng thought to himself that the lowest-quality fabric on the market now costs four or five taels. In comparison, these two taels of fabric are much cheaper, and even some poor people can afford it.

He looked at the young people in front of him and lamented that he was old. No young people dared to think or do anything. He had many worries. Seeing Yang Yuanzu proudly agreed to pay for the expenses on the road, he said: "Since you are responsible for the expenses, then I will be responsible for it." Transportation personnel and road guidance.”

Seeing that Li Zheng finally nodded in agreement, Yang Yuanzu continued: "Then when we set up a factory in Fengping Village, we will call it Fengping Textile Factory. When the time comes, people will think of us Fengping when they see textiles. Come to the textile factory!”

"What does this factory mean?" Li Zheng didn't quite understand.

"It is larger than the workshops in the county, and there are more people working there." Yang Yuanzu explained, "It is equivalent to a large workshop."

"Then let's call it a factory!" Li Zheng said happily.

After everything had been discussed, the two began to finalize the distribution of money and income.

Since both the funds and technology came from Yang Yuanzu, Li Zheng only got 30% of the profit.

After Li Zheng returned home, he discussed with his eldest son Li Da that they now needed money to support their youngest grandson Li Xiaoxiao in studying.

The eldest son Li Da works in a security bureau in the county town and has the skills to protect himself, so he readily agreed.

The younger son Li Er heard that he wanted to go with him. Li Zheng emphasized to him that the journey was far away and it was located on the border. He asked his eldest brother to explore the road first. If there was no problem, the two brothers would go into battle together.

Then it was time to recruit people in the village.

Yang Yuanzu offered generous rewards, and many people signed up.

Li Da selected some people who were responsive and strong and trained them intensively.

Being on the border, they had to be a little cautious.

Li Da is now the captain of the freight department, and Yang Yuanzu and Li Zheng have given him full responsibility for all transportation matters.

A few days later, the motorcade set off in great force.

Unknowingly, it was time for the silk to be harvested. Yang Yuanzu purchased all the silk in the village according to the original agreement.

Then he recruited women and young men in the village to work as weavers.

Ordinary workers get 2 taels per month, skilled workers get 3 taels, and those who are literate and skilled get 4 taels. If they do well, they will get one to two taels at the end of the month, one tael for every festival, and 2 taels for the New Year. Not only that, they will also reward ten taels. Several kilograms of meat.

In the future, wages will be increased every year based on performance.

The wages were set by Lin Ting'an based on the market price, and the bonuses, performance rewards, and holiday benefits were proposed by Yang Yuanzu.

When everyone in the village heard about this good thing, they signed up one after another.

You can make money by staying in your own village, and if you perform well, you can earn more than in the county.

Many men also came to Yang Yuanzu and asked if they were hiring male workers. In response, Yang Yuanzu could only apologize and reply that he was not hiring.

The men were not too disappointed when they saw that they would not recruit male workers.

Because they now have fertilizer, they put their minds on the ground. After all, the food in the ground is their foundation.

Now everyone in Fengping Village has work to do and everyone can make money.

Because Yang Yuanzu was too busy at his private school, he handed over the textile production to Lin Ting'an, an experienced boss.

Yang Huahua and Xiaofan are still in charge of the Baiwei stall in the city.

Yang Xiaoniang has been active in textile production and has now become a role model in the factory. She has completely overcome the haze of being abandoned.

Lin Ting'an handled things in the factory in an orderly manner.

Li Zheng began to take charge of everyone's farming.

Because the college examination was approaching, the private school did not have field holidays this year, so Yang Yuanzu could only stay in the school to attend classes.

If his family is too busy, he can hire someone, and he can hire the same few workers from last year. Yang Yuanzu is diligent, down-to-earth, and knowledgeable, so he can rest assured.

It's just that Zhang Jiangguan has been a little restless these days, worried that his mother won't be able to work alone at home.

I wanted to borrow money to hire workers to help at home, but Zhang's mother stopped me and said she would save the money for the autumn harvest, when she would be really busy and overwhelmed.

Due to the emergence of fertilizer, no one in the village is rushing to plant seeds this year. What's more, now that everyone has income from the textile factory, there is no need to work desperately in the fields.

The men worked in the fields, and the girls worked in front of the machines, which they had only just mastered.

Soon the first batch of silk came out.

Because Yang Yuanzu provided new dyeing recipes, the colors of this batch of silk dyed were bright and bright.

It's shiny, silky and smooth, skin-friendly and light... I don't know how comfortable it would be if I wore this this summer.

Looking at the silk, everyone became more determined to send their son to study for the imperial examination.

You don't want to be a high official, but you can at least wear this silk and experience it for once. Of course, it would be even better if you can pass the imperial examination and become an official and come back to honor your ancestors.

So everyone worked harder, and now the whole family can earn back the repair costs that were unthinkable before.

When their silk came out, it was when the demand was strongest in summer. Lin Ting'an selected some people to take the goods to the county town to sell them.

Fearing that people would cause trouble or rob the goods, they also brought a few strong villagers with them to protect them along the way.

This is what everyone has worked hard to do, and there is no room for any mistakes.

The silk produced by Fengping Textile Factory is beautiful and the quality is 20% lower than the market price. Naturally, it is loved by many wealthy families.

Lin Junhao's family heard that Lin Ting'an was in the silk business again, so they came with their servants to cause trouble. They saw that there were more people on Lin Ting'an's side than themselves, and all of them were strong farmers. .

Just as he was about to say something, he was surrounded by farm men, as if he would be tied up and thrown out if he said another word.
