Chapter 413 What Is She Doing?
King Jin felt that he had underestimated the enemy by losing this game of chess.
So he smiled and said, "Let's do another round."
Shi Qingluo didn't refuse, "Okay."
In this game, Shi Qingluo won again.
King Jin met his opponent, and he couldn't help pulling Shi Qing down for several games.
He lost all but one game which was a draw.
At the critical moment, the style of Qing's fall was not consistent, and each round had different changes, which made him more incomprehensible to her.
Shi Qingluo also gave him a sense of mystery and made him want to dig something.
King Jin still wanted to continue, but Shi Qingluo refused. She calculated that the time she spent in King Jin's mansion could almost make people outside misunderstand, so there was no need to spend any more.
Yes, when Jin Wangti started the next game, Shi Qingluo had an idea.
Northern Xinjiang is King Jin's territory. If they want to live in a relatively stable way, they must create an illusion for King Jin's people. Their husband and wife are very valued by King Jin, and they may have been used by King Jin.
So after doing things in Heyang County, not many people will take the initiative to take the initiative or get stuck.
While King Jin uses them, they can naturally use them back.
Hearing Shi Qingluo's refusal, King Jin was a little unfulfilled, "Did you learn this chess skill from your master?"
Shi Qingluo replied, "I learned a little from my master, but I learned more from my husband."
Her eyes were full of brilliance, "My husband is very good at chess."
This is the truth. Her family's Xiaoxianggong's chess skills went to modern times and could abuse her grandfather and grandfather. Even if she went to participate in the competition, she could properly win the first place.
King Jin smiled, "There is a chance another day, and you and I will have a match."
Liang Mingyu was a little more curious about Xiao Hanzheng in his heart, what charm does this person have to make Shi Qingluo like him so much.
But in this way, the more he wants to pry the corner.
The reason why he likes married women is that apart from the fact that such a daughter is more charming and mature, he will have a sense of accomplishment after he succeeds in prying into a corner.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Okay!"
She took the lead and asked, "My lord, you came to me today, have you sorted out what I want?"
King Jin raised his hand to the person standing behind him.
The man immediately took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to him.
"This is the situation you want in Northern Xinjiang. Take a closer look to see if there are any good ideas that can benefit the people."
He gave it to Shi Qingluo, as if he was thinking of the people.
Shi Qingluo took it over and looked at it at random, and found that it was quite detailed.
She put away the booklet, "Okay, I'll take it back and take a closer look. It should spark a lot of inspiration."
King Jin smiled and said, "Then you can stay in Beicheng for a few more days."
"Otherwise, I suddenly come up with an idea. After returning to Heyang County, it will take more time for someone to deliver it. It may not be clear whether to write a letter or have someone deliver it."
Shi Qingluo thought for a while, "Okay, then I'll stay for two more days."
The North Xinjiang side is really too poor, and she also wants to do her best to help change one or two.
In recent years, as long as King Jin did not rebel and was executed by the imperial court, no matter what plan was carried out in the northern Xinjiang, the imperial court would not be able to do it as smoothly as King Jin's Mansion.
It is estimated that the emperor also wanted to develop the northern Xinjiang through the hands of King Jin, and finally pick this fruit.
King Jin smiled deeply, "On behalf of the people in northern Xinjiang, this king would like to thank Mrs. Shi."
Shi Qingluo smiled, "Your Highness is serious!"
Then she bid farewell, and King Jin ordered someone to send her back.
After Shi Qingluo returned to the deputy governor's mansion, he did not go out again, but carefully studied the different situations in various regions of the northern border.
Then I found two relatively good ways to develop northern Xinjiang.
She stayed in the yard for two days without going out, which made Xiao Yuanshi even more curious.
Listening to the report from the maid in the yard, she has been in the room and hasn't come out much. What is she doing?
Judging from Shi Qingluo's character in the past, it was not a temperament to sit still.
Shi Qingluo sent a message to Concubine Hua.
The carriage of King Jin's mansion picked her up on that day.
When I went to Jinwangfu, it was still the same old place.
However, this time King Jin didn't play chess, only an ice bowl and some fresh melons and fruits.
Moreover, Concubine Hua was not there. Besides Liang Mingyu, there was a handsome young man in his twenties beside King Jin.
Shi Qingluo blessed him and Liang Mingyu, "I have seen the prince, the prince!"
King Jin smiled and said, "Sit down!"
He asked again, "What do you think?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "I have two thoughts now."
She suddenly asked, "How do you feel about cotton cloth?"
King Jin was stunned, "Cotton?"
He usually wears silk and satin, and he hasn't worn cotton clothes yet.
So he looked at the middle-aged man, "Does Ziqin know anything about cotton?"
This is the person in his house who is best at business, so this time I called him over.
Xu Ziqin nodded and said, "I know, it's the cloth weaved from a kind of white folded flower here in the northern Xinjiang."
"The price is much more expensive than linen, cheaper than silk satin, and it is more comfortable to wear on the body."
"However, the output of white folds is very small, so the annual output of cotton cloth is not much."
"In addition, the rich prefer Ayala silk
Satin, and the poor also mainly wear linen, so this kind of cotton is very common. "
He himself likes to wear cotton underwear, which is more breathable and comfortable, so he understands it.
He looked at Shi Qingluo and asked, "Doesn't Mrs. Shi want Wang Ye to vigorously produce cotton cloth to sell?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Yes, the northern Xinjiang is particularly suitable for planting white folded flowers. The cotton cloth is highly breathable and comfortable to wear. As long as it goes down, I believe that people in the middle and low classes will like to buy it."
The current linen cloth is relatively rough, and the air permeability is OK, but the rough linen cloth and the flesh on the body will burn and hurt when rubbed.
Unlike the clothes and trousers of later generations of flax fibers, not only does it not roughen the skin, but it is also very comfortable to wear.
Most of the burlap that farmers buy to make clothes is this kind of burlap, which is cheap after all.
Xu Ziqin asked, "But the key is how can the price go down?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "Plant a large area, use the correct planting method, and manufacture a machine that specializes in spinning cotton."
"The number and output of the planting increase, and it can be effectively spun into cloth, the cost will go down, and the price will follow."
"I learned that the white folds are planted here without topping, so the yield is not high, and the income from the people's planting is not very good, which results in fewer people planting."
"I know a way to top that can increase cotton yields."
"Besides the first time, after the white folds are picked, there are still cottonseeds in them. It takes a lot of time and energy to take them out, which is more troublesome."
"So I also know of a machine that takes cottonseeds, which is fast and good, and reduces costs."
"White folded flowers can not only be woven into cloth, but also filled into cotton-padded clothes, which are very warm in winter."
"It can also be made into a handkerchief for washing your face, bathing, etc., which is much better than linen and silk."
