Chapter 784: Poor Operation and Lack of Money

Princess Yongmu had never been exposed to such knowledge since she was a child.

She was brought up as a good girl and a lady. She rarely went out and learned things from books.

Because her mother was from the Liu family in Hedong, her handwriting was beautiful and she was well-educated.

No one asked her to learn anything else. She could embroider, but she couldn't cook, not to mention other economic methods.

Now Li Yi only talked about it superficially, and she was confused.

What is the relationship between the price of silk and other things?

"Li Lang, are you talking about cotton?" The only thing Princess Yongmu could think of was cotton.

"Wen Tian is really smart." Li Yi quickly praised: "Cotton is easy to grow, has a large yield, and the clothes and quilts made from it are comfortable to use."

Li Yi knew that cotton eventually replaced other fiber crops and became the mainstream.

Putting aside the brand, the price of silk has always been high.

The key is that the people can't afford silk and have been wearing linen clothes.

"Li Lang, cotton is not made into quilts, but it is warm when stuffed in silk covers." Princess Yongmu has never used linen since she was a child.

In her opinion, cotton quilts are good, especially mattresses, which are comfortable to sleep on.

The quilt is a bit heavy, heavier than silk stuffed with cashmere and duck down.

"Brush a layer of glue inside the cotton cloth, stuff the degreased chicken feathers into it as clothes, save cotton, and keep warmer than wearing thick linen clothes directly."

Li Yi has been collecting chicken and goose feathers. The good goose feathers are used to make badminton, and the bad ones are degreased and softened with chicken feathers to fill clothes.

The warmth effect is much worse than cashmere, duck down, and cotton, but better than others.

Linen clothes are stuffed with straw and dead grass, which makes them very bloated when worn, and the warmth effect is many times better than not putting them in.

When Li Yi first arrived in the Tang Dynasty, people in the various quarters of Chang'an City used straw as bedding.

There are still some now, but the straw is woven into curtains, and there is a kang underneath for making fire.

In the morning of winter, no one said who was directly frozen to death.

"Master Li, if cotton is sold, will it make money? My family still has land." Xiaolan felt distressed thinking about the land she bought.

I bought 100 mu of land, planted beans on 20 mu, and planted greenhouses on the rest, hiring people to look after them.

I haven't made back the money I spent on the land yet. The greenhouses cost money to hire people, silk, racks, and fertilizers.

The money was saved by Princess Yongmu, and she bought the land in Xiaolan's name.

Xiaolan wanted to plant cotton directly after the greenhouses were no longer used.

There was no definite price for cotton at the moment, and it was taken over by Li's farm and the Ministry of Households.

"If you use the bean field to plant cotton, the bean moth will come out and affect the development of cotton. It's better to plant Platycodon grandiflorum.

After the greenhouses are removed, you can plant seeds directly, which has a higher yield than seedling transplanting, which is different from many other crops.

Then I want to plant greenhouses in winter. First, I will build a small shed to raise seedlings and cultivate cucumber, cowpea, eggplant, etc. seedlings.

Harvest Platycodon grandiflorum, build a greenhouse, and put the cultivated vegetable seedlings in it, so that there will be no delay."

Li Yi patiently explained what to plant, in order to make money, not cotton.

Next year, after the land of Henan Prefecture is surveyed, the cotton will be planted in part by collecting taxes and reducing the tax.

At present, the main thing is food. Only when enough food is stored can we consider enjoying it.

"No seeds." Xiaolan tilted her head to look at Li Yi, as if, you are pursuing my princess, you provide seeds.

"This owner will solve it." Li Yi agreed happily, or he would release a large number of seeds.

The land on the farm is specially planted, and Platycodon is a medicinal material.

In the Northeast at that time, the Xian people were willing to use Platycodon to make pickles. The price was the same as other Korean pickles at the beginning.

Later, along with licorice, the price soared sharply. At the most expensive time, a pound of dog treasure pickles cost more than 40 yuan, which looked unaffordable.

Platycodon looks like ginseng. If you don't know how to make it, you can cut it into strips with a knife.

The authentic way is to smash it with a wooden hammer, and it will be a little bit after smashing.

The root of Platycodon is eaten, called Platycodon.

It is better to use licorice to treat cough, especially when there is phlegm that cannot be spit out.

The taboo is that licorice and platycodon hurt the stomach. People with poor gastrointestinal tract will feel nauseous and vomit after eating them.

Li Yi needs medicinal materials, cultivates seeds, asks others to plant them, and mixes them with chili powder to eat as pickles.

Princess Yongmu has not read medical books, but she has eaten platycodon pickles, the kind with chili powder, sugar, salt, and fried sesame seeds.

"Yes! Plant!" She believes Li Yi, saying that he can make money, which is better than growing cotton.

She took out her own money, which she didn't have much money to begin with.

After buying the land, she started to grow greenhouses, which required a lot of silk, and she didn't have much money recently.

When it comes to planting other crops in the spring, the money earned from greenhouse vegetables can make her pay back.

This year, there are more greenhouses, so greenhouse vegetables are no longer sky-high.

By next year, more people will plant them, and it will be impossible for the newly built greenhouses to pay back in one year, unless the price of silk drops significantly.

In the past, Princess Yongmu believed that her life was to save a little money, and then be betrothed to a family by her father and live with the other party.

What kind of life you can live depends on the other person.

The other person's appearance, background, and virtue are not what you need to consider.

"Rest first, and then prepare to watch the Spring Festival Gala, which is better than the one in the Imperial City, and there are more fireworks."

Li Yi was afraid that the two of them would not have the energy to watch the show at night, so he arranged for them to go to the courtyard.

After sending the two people in, the palace maids and eunuchs were arranged to serve them in turns. Li Yi changed his playful smile and went back to the study to write and paint.

The new year is coming, and there will be new changes in the Li family's manor. At the same time, Li Yi has to come up with a plan for subsequent development.

At the end of the dog year and the beginning of the pig year, dinner began. Everyone still ate hot pot, which saved food and ate as much as they could.

The water curtain was taken out again and divided into three venues.

People from Zhangjia Village and Huangzhuang rushed over. There was a water curtain in the residential area. Everyone tried to squeeze in, and some ran upstairs to watch from the window.

Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan came out and were arranged to sit down in a place to watch the show.

"It's really more interesting than the imperial city. It's close, and there's hot pot to eat. Last year... I didn't go up last year."

Xiaolan whispered to Princess Yongmu. UU Reading ｗww.uukanshu.net Last year, she watched the show in the imperial city. She was of low status and couldn't go up.

Princess Yongmu looked around. There were only two of them at the small square table in front of her.

Farmers ate and drank slowly, fearing that they would feel full if they ate too fast, and also worried that they would feel sleepy if they ate too much.

They drank soup while eating, and felt full. After a while, the soup was digested, and they could eat a lot more.

The children didn't care about that. They put on new clothes and picked what they liked to eat. At most, they would sleep and not keep watch.

Princess Yongmu didn't feel cold at all. There was a lot of charcoal in the hot pot. If it wasn't in the open air, many people would have collapsed from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Half an hour later, Li Yi, who had changed his clothes, ran over: "Eat, don't be idle, eat some seafood first."

He poured the frozen oysters and scallops into the hot pot.
