Chapter 414: Shocked

The northern Xinjiang is very suitable for cotton. Now cotton has been introduced from the Western Regions, and some manors are planted and spun into cotton cloth for sale.

But as Xu Ziqin said, now because the price of cotton cloth is too high, the sales volume is very average.

But if the price is lowered, the sales volume will be able to go up.

In the land and weather of northern Xinjiang, planting cotton is a great advantage, and it would be a pity to lose it.

She looked at King Jin and said again: "And after a large amount of cotton is produced, it can be made into cotton clothes and quilts. The people can keep warm in winter, and some people will not be cold to death."

There is no quilt yet, and it is made of cotton padding, which she has not seen before.

So this is the gap in the market, and it will definitely make money if you use it.

The key is that people can benefit.

King Jin felt that it made sense, "A cotton-padded coat made of cotton is very warm?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, the quilt filled with cotton is also very warm."

"Although it is not as light and comfortable as silk quilts, it is definitely a good thing for people to keep warm in winter."

Now the poor people build quilts made of linen stuffed with hay, straw, and reed flowers.

Most of the rich and noble are stuffed with cotton wool or fur, and the more luxurious ones are silk quilts.

In this era, cotton has not been popularized, and quilts have not been used.

She also suggested, "Your Highness can have someone make a cotton-padded coat and a quilt to try, and you will know the effect of keeping warm."

"If white folded flowers are widely planted, not only will more people have income, but the woven cotton can also be sold to every place in Daliang, which is also a very objective wealth."

This last point is what impresses Jin Wang.

When Shiqing landed in Heyang County before, he wanted Xiao Hanzheng to promote cotton cultivation.

But the power of a county is too limited, and other places will not listen to Xiao Hanzheng.

Therefore, the most suitable person to do this is King Jin. As long as he proposes to promote large-scale cotton planting, it can be done properly.

King Jin was really moved when he heard the considerable wealth.

He looked at Xu Ziqin, "What does Ziqin think?"

Xu Ziqin thought for a moment and said, "If it's like what the lady said, I think it's feasible."

He emphasized, "The premise is to increase the production of white folds and create machines for picking cotton seeds and spinning cotton."

Shi Qingluo was ready long ago, took out a few pieces of paper from the diagonal purse he was carrying, and handed it over.

"This is what you need to pay attention to when planting cotton, and how to top it. As long as you plant according to this, the yield will never be low."

"If the farmers don't know what to do then, the lord can find a time and place, I will do it myself, and then let people learn to teach the farmers in various places."

"The other two are drawings of two types of machines. The lord can ask the craftsmen to make them and try them out."

King Jin took the paper and looked at it.

The detailed process of all planting of white folds, the matters needing attention, and how to increase the yield are all available.

At this time, Qingluo was really worried. She had only come to Northern Xinjiang, and she actually knew how to grow and increase the yield of this white folded flower.

Looking at the detailed machine diagram again, I was shocked.

This is too amazing, even a skilled craftsman might not be able to draw this blueprint.

After reading it, he handed it to Xu Ziqin.

After Xu Ziqin read it carefully, he also felt the same feeling as King Jin.

The look in Shi Qingluo's eyes was a little different.

Xu Ziqin couldn't help but say: "The lady of Shi is really a master!"

Shi Qingluo smiled, "Mr. Xu praised it wrongly!"

King Jin couldn't wait to ask: "Miss Shi, what's your second thought?"

He also felt that Bai Diehua was feasible.

He was going to ask people to make cotton-padded coats and quilts, as well as these two types of machines to try. If the effect of what Qingluo said was true, he would immediately ask people to promote people to plant a large area in northern Xinjiang.

Shi Qing said: "For planting medicinal materials, there are many medicinal materials that are not cheap in the environment of northern Xinjiang that can be grown artificially."

"Your Majesty can adapt to local conditions and let people from all over the world plant different medicinal materials. At that time, whether it is concocted and sold to other places, or made into pills and sold, the profits will be huge."

"The price of medicinal materials is not cheap, and the income from the cultivation of the common people will not be bad. At that time, I will thank the prince."

There is basically no artificial planting of medicinal materials now, and all of them are picked from the wild, so the quantity is limited and the price is so expensive.

Many people endure their illness, because it is too expensive to see a doctor and take medicine.

To improve this situation, it is necessary to popularize medicinal materials that can be grown artificially.

Artificial planting of medicinal materials is not only implemented in northern Xinjiang, but can be implemented in the entire Daliang.

Now, the northern Xinjiang can be used as a demonstration site. After success, the emperor can learn from it and then popularize it.

In this way, it will not be so expensive and difficult for people to see a doctor and take medicine.

King Jin was stunned, "Can many medicinal herbs be grown?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Of course."

She took out another stack of paper, "This is the medicinal plant species listed in the brochure that the lord gave me."

"I gave a detailed introduction to which medicinal materials are suitable for planting in those places."

She is still using the form of a table, so it is clear at a glance.

It also made King Jin and Xu Ziqin startled again.

I only heard that Shi Qingluo knew a lot of money-making ideas before, but I didn't expect her to have such a skill.

Just after looking at the situation in various places in the northern Xinjiang, you can list what medicinal materials are suitable for planting according to different places.

The key point doesn't look like it's scribbled. She wrote down all the herbs and how to plant them.

"Before this king heard that Shi Niangzi was good at planting one, but now it seems that the rumors are still light."

Shi Qingluo smiled: "I personally like this aspect, so I have studied it myself."

She added, "The master also taught some."

King Jin and Xu Ziqin believed these words. If the old immortal hadn't taught her, she probably wouldn't have understood so much.

But it's also great.

They underestimated her value before, and now it seems that they have to pay more attention to her.

King Jin thought for a while and asked, "If we promote the cultivation of these medicinal materials in northern Xinjiang, it won't be short, right?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "It can take a year at least, and it can take a few years to see the benefits."

"But as long as you start, once you have the benefits, there will naturally be a steady stream of benefits, and the main time-consuming part is the early stage."

She proposed to let King Jin grow medicinal materials, not only for the benefit of the people, but also for the role of restricting King Jin.

A few years later, who knows whether this northern Xinjiang is still the fief of King Jin.

When the big gains start, the winner may be replaced by the emperor.

Although it is necessary to give King Jin a taste and make ideas for King Jin, he cannot be allowed to accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

Otherwise, he would use it all to recruit troops, buy horses, improve and replace weapons, etc., which would be a bad thing for Daliang's stability.

So when Shi Qingluo was included, King Jin wouldn't have thought about it.

Sure enough, although King Jin feels that the time is a little longer, the long-term benefits are still great.

Now is not the time to compete for the world, he can still wait.

And even if he rebelled in advance, if he could take over the world, the northern border would still be his territory, and it would be beneficial for him to let people grow medicinal herbs on a large scale.

"Okay, this king will let you arrange the seeds according to the list you gave."

He turned around and said, "If you encounter any problems, you will need the help of Shi Niang to guide one or two."

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded, "Of course."
