Chapter 287 Doing Good
Song Yunqi thought for a moment, "This batch of cotton is under the management of the Ministry of Revenue. I don't know the details, but I heard that it will be sold to large merchants and put on the market to see how effective it is. It will also help determine the intensity of promoting planting next year."
Song Mingli nodded, "Qi Liang also has a cloth shop under him, so he can take over this batch of cotton. Can you introduce me and sell this batch of cotton to him, second brother?"
Song Yunqi looked at his sister with some surprise, "Isn't Qi Liang helping you with your business? Do you want to do this cotton business?"
Song Mingli nodded.
Outsiders didn't know that Qi Liang helped her with business, but her family knew about it.
Song Yunqi smiled and shook his head. "This cotton is not as soft as fur or mink, nor as warm as bird down. What do you want it for?"
"The Emperor does not like the nobles to compete with the people for profit. You are now the Princess of Jing, so I advise you not to get involved in this matter."
Song Mingli hasn't spoken yet.
Song Yunqi slapped his forehead and said, "Is it because the fur I gave you last time was not enough? I still have some here, originally..."
"Well, you will have more in the future. I'll give these to you first! Just use them to make clothes. This fur is so beautiful! There are also precious sables. The emperor also allowed me to keep two pieces. They are all for you!"
Song Mingli shook his head quickly, "Second brother is saving it for Second Sister-in-law, right? I have enough, I don't want it anymore. I want cotton for other uses."
Song Yanzhou and Song Yunqi both looked at her.
Song Mingli did not hide it from them, "I have asked Qi Liang to purchase a batch of strong and durable coarse cloth. I plan to use this batch of coarse cloth to make cheap but comfortable cotton-padded clothes."
"It is aimed at ordinary people, even poor people, so that they can also survive this winter."
Song Yanzhou looked outside and saw the sun shining brightly.
"Do you still think this winter will be exceptionally cold?"
Song Mingli nodded, "Yes."
"Sister, you may not know... ordinary civilians don't have money to buy ready-made clothes because they are expensive. They just buy cheap cloth and make their own clothes." Song Yunqi didn't want to discourage her, so he said tentatively.
Song Mingli smiled, "I know, so I asked Qi Liang to reduce costs as much as possible while ensuring quality. Also, I asked Qi Xu to design the cotton coat to be simple, elegant, and good-looking."
"I don't plan to use this batch of cotton clothes to make money. Even if I lose money, I can just consider it as a charity."
"This way, we can promote cotton and allow people to wear warm and cheap cotton clothes."
Song Yanzhou and Song Yunqi looked at each other and were both stunned.
"So you want to use this cotton to do good deeds?" Song Yanzhou nodded.
Song Yunqi said, "When you do good deeds like this, no one may know that you are losing money, and no one may appreciate your kindness!"
"People will just think that businessmen are profit-driven and you must be profiting from it."
Song Mingli smiled nonchalantly, "Why not make a profit from it?"
The two brothers were stunned when they heard this and looked at her in confusion.
Based on what she said just now, she is ready to do it at her own expense, so what profit can she make?
"But I'm looking for big profits." Song Mingli said.
"And big profits?" Song Yunqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister, I don't have the talent for business, so I won't do it."
"Whether you are the daughter of the Song family or the Princess of Jing, you are not short of money."
Song Mingli said seriously, "The benefit I want is that the people don't have to suffer from the cold in winter, and don't have to freeze to death at home or on the streets."
"How can this not be a big profit? As for money, if you lose it, you can earn it again. But if you lose your life..."
How could everyone be as lucky as her, to be able to be reborn after dying in vain?
I can't do anything earth-shattering, but at least I can make some cotton clothes and save some lives, right?
Upon hearing this, Song Yunqi immediately sat up straight and looked at his sister with awe.
Just now, he thought that his sister didn't understand business, was naive and ignorant of the world, and acted on her own accord.
But at this moment, he felt that his sister was more like his father.
Although she is a woman, she cares about her country and the people.
"Okay! Leave it to me. I will go to Tong Shangfeng to discuss this matter today."
Song Yunqi said, "Tell Qi Liang to prepare the silver and money. I guess the Ministry of Revenue will add some money to sell it."
"Thank you, second brother."
"What are you thanking me for? You have such a broad mind. It's my second brother who underestimated you." Song Yunqi shook his head and sighed.
In terms of vision, he really lost to his sister this time.
Song Mingli smiled happily, left the Song family, and went to the cloth shop.
Caiyunxuan head office.
Not only Qi Liang and Qi Xu are here, but even Tong Wanyu is here.
"Sister Song is so mean! Why didn't you take me with you on such a great occasion?"
I don't know how Tong Wanyu got the news about making cotton clothes, but when she saw her, she said angrily.
After she finished speaking, Tong Wanyu suddenly remembered that she was no longer Sister Song, but Princess Jing.
Tong Wanyu quickly reached out and slapped her mouth, "Oh, my mouth is faster than my brain! Meet Princess Jing! Apologize to Princess Jing!"
Tong Wanyu bowed respectfully.
Song Mingli took her hand and pulled her up. "If you want to distance yourself from me after I get married, then this marriage is too much of a loss."
"Pfft, in the business world, you shouldn't say these two words!" Tong Wanyu pouted twice, "Princess, you are generous for not arguing with me. In my heart, you will always be my sister Song."
Tong Wanyu smiled and moved closer to her. "This is so interesting and can also accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Princess, you should call me! I am also willing to do good deeds!"
"Besides, we are old partners."
Tong Wanyu spoke, her eyes hardly leaving Qi Xu.
Song Mingli saw through it but didn't say anything. She didn't think this was interesting. She just thought it would be interesting to work with Qi Xu.
"But I heard from my father that this winter won't be too cold. Can we really sell these cotton coats after we make them?" Tong Wanyu whispered.
"It will be very cold this winter." Qi Liang heard her muttering and said, "There will be several heavy snowfalls, so you must prepare your cotton clothes in advance."
Tong Wanyu was stunned and looked at Song Mingli in surprise.
Song Mingli nodded at her.
Tong Wanyu hesitated for less than two breaths before nodding her head heavily, "I believe you, Princess."
The three of them stood here talking, while Qi Xu leaned over a large table and drew.
He became focused, as if he had entered a world where he was the only one in it.
The conversations of the people around him did not disturb him at all.
He sketched with ecstasy, and suddenly he put down his pen, his handsome face seemed to light up, "Alright!"
The three people next to him came forward to see his design.
He designed six types of cotton jackets, one for each age group: teenagers, middle-aged and young people, and the elderly.
"Make these six first, and I'll design the others later." Qi Xu whispered.
"Wow! This is so beautiful! The style is simple and elegant, and the waist design is just right, which is convenient for work and makes people look tall and capable."
"It's so beautiful!" Tong Wanyu praised it immediately.
Song Mingli also looked at it carefully. The style was indeed very simple, the craftsmanship was not complicated, and the simple style contained an ingenious design.
Nowadays, the clothes worn by ordinary people are extremely simple in style and mostly grayish white in color.
But in the clothes designed by Qi Xu, the gray and white coarse cloth is embellished with simple shapes such as lotus, black bamboo, and plum blossoms.
It adds a finishing touch to simple clothes and makes people's eyes light up.
Qi Liang's brows were tightly furrowed.
"These designs...are not acceptable." Qi Liang didn't want to discourage his brother.
But after much hesitation, he finally said, "It's true that you like design, but you don't understand what the princess wants to do!"
"These clothes are for the common people, even the poor people, to use during the winter. You have to make sure they can afford them. If they can't afford them, the princess plans to pay for them."
"So, the most important thing for this clothing is that it is durable and long-lasting! While ensuring the quality, we must also reduce the cost as much as possible!"
"You even put embroidery on it. It looks nice, but it's not practical. They want to be warm, not look good."
