The northern region is very suitable for cotton. Now cotton has been imported from the western region, and some manor owners have planted it and then spun it into cotton for sale.
But just like what Xu Ziqin said, now because the price of cotton cloth is too high, it is not enough, so the sales are very mediocre.
But if the price is lowered, the sales volume will be able to go up.
The land and weather in the northern Xinjiang, planting cotton is a great advantage, and it is 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. People can keep warm in winter, and some people will not freeze to death."
There are no quilts yet, and they are filled with cotton to make cotton clothes, which she has never seen before.
So this is the gap in the market, and it will definitely make money if you take advantage of it.
The key is that the 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, reed flowers, etc.
The rich and noble are mostly stuffed with cotton wool, or use fur pads and covers, and the more luxurious ones are silk quilts.
In this era, before cotton was popularized, no one used quilts.
She suggested again, "Your Highness can have someone make a cotton 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.
Shiqing landed in Heyang County before, and originally 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.
So 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 Mrs. Shi said, I think it's feasible."
He emphasized, "The premise is to increase the production of white folds, and to create a machine for picking cotton seeds and spinning cotton cloth."
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 the northern Xinjiang, and she actually knew how to grow and increase the yield of this white folded flower.
looked at the detailed machine diagram again, and was shocked.
This is too great, even a great craftsman might not be able to draw this drawing.
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 eyes that looked at Shi Qingluo were 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!"
King Jin couldn't wait to ask: "Miss Shi, what's your second thought?"
White folded flowers, which he thinks is feasible.
Prepared people to make cotton coats and quilts, as well as these two kinds of machines to try. If the effect of what Qingluo said was true, he immediately asked people to promote large-scale planting in northern Xinjiang.
Shi Qingluo said: "For planting medicinal materials, in the environment in the northern Xinjiang, there are many medicinal materials that are not cheap 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 prepared 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 planting by the common people will not be bad. When the time comes, I will thank the prince."
There is basically no artificial cultivation 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 it when they get sick. It is really 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.
The artificial cultivation of medicinal materials is not only implemented in northern Xinjiang, but can be implemented in the entire Daliang.
Now you can use the northern Xinjiang 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 the common 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 that I listed in the brochure that the lord gave me."
"Which places are suitable for growing which medicinal materials, I have made a detailed introduction."
She is still in the form of a table, so it is clear at a glance.
also shocked King Jin and Xu Ziqin again.
I only heard that Shi Qingluo knew a lot of money-making ideas before, but I never thought she would have such a skill.
Just by looking at the situation in various places in northern Xinjiang, you can list what medicinal herbs are suitable for planting according to different places.
The key doesn't look like she's scribbled. She wrote down which herbs should be planted.
"Before this king heard that Shi Niangzi was good at planting one, but now it seems that the rumor is still light."
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "I myself prefer this aspect, so I have studied it myself."
She added, "The master also taught some."
King Jin and Xu Ziqin believed it. If she hadn't been taught by the old immortal, she probably wouldn't have understood so much.
But this is also very powerful.
They still 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 the cultivation of these medicinal materials is promoted in northern Xinjiang, the time will not be short, right?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "It takes a year at least, and it takes a few years to see the benefits."
"But as long as you start, once you have the benefits, you will naturally have a steady stream of benefits. The main thing that takes time is the initial investment."
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 and so on start to gain a lot, the winner may be replaced by the emperor.
Although we want to give King Jin a taste and give ideas to 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 detrimental to the stability of Daliang.
So Shi Qingluo was included, and King Jin would not have thought of this.
Sure enough, although King Jin felt that the time was a little longer, the long-term benefits were still great.
It is not yet time to compete for the world, he can still wait.
And even if he rebels in advance, if he can win the world, the northern border will still be his territory, and it will be beneficial for him to let people grow medicinal materials in a large area.
"Okay, this king will let you arrange the seeds according to the list you gave."
He changed the subject 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, "No problem, I can go to the scene to help teach at any time."
