Love the people, probably!

Although he does not have the sentiment of a Virgin, Xu Qilin is still willing to give back to society more when he has become a rich man.

Xu Qilin also rewarded Wang Fangyi's hard work and hard work. After submitting the court, Wang Fangyi was already the chief minister of Ganzhou. Although he had no actual position, he was equivalent to the assistant of the governor.

In addition, Xu Qilin intentionally trained Wang Fangyi, or because he was lazy, he ran around outside. Most of the people who exercised their power were Wang Fangyi.

Even Xu Qilin wondered whether he could recommend Wang Fangyi to take over as governor after he left office to ensure the continuity of the policy and make Ganzhou more stable and prosperous.

Of course, both grade and qualifications are both problems. After all, Xu Qilin is barely qualified and has the performance support of Dayingku, so his qualifications can be slightly worse.

Wang Fangyi was also considered to have entered the officialdom with kindness. Without going through the imperial examination, he could only consider military merits, or start from the grassroots level.

The governor was a little taller, and Xu Qilin also felt it was unlikely. He once made a suggestion to Wang Fangyi, which was to sponsor him as the county magistrate of a prefecture in Hexi next year and slowly climb up with his political achievements.

Wang Fangyi was very grateful and willing to do so. While helping Xu Qilin manage Ganzhou, he had learned a lot. If he could be a herdsman in a county, he would be able to use what he learned.

Although the county magistrate is a "seed official" and has a rank of sixth rank or seventh rank, its power is not small, and it is also a position that many senior officials have worked at the grassroots level. Even Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations may not have such a lack.

When the county magistrate goes to the governor, he is one level away. Xu Qilin is also a detour and is preparing to promote and become the king of Fangyi.

Wang Fangyi naturally knew the key points. The better the Ganzhou development, as Xu Qilin's assistant, he naturally made an indelible contribution, and let the court know that he had experience in governing the local area.

Coupled with Xu Qilin's kind words and praise, the future recommendation will be natural.

Anyway, Wang Fangyi is now very energetic. He brought a team of craftsmen, took the drawings, built windmills one by one according to the assigned villages, making Ganzhou a Nordic style.

By the time this work was finished, the cotton had reached its harvest. Even Xu Qilin, the lazy egg, took his maid to the cotton production area to supervise the harvest.

The sky is blue and blue, and the endless cotton fields are like a huge white quilt covered on the ground. The cotton boa grinned and spit out soft and white cotton wool, fluttering in the wind, as if nodding to people with a smile.

"Xu Cheng." Several people who looked like old farmers came to greet him, but Xu Qilin personally taught him and was responsible for the entire cotton industry. The head's face was filled with joy. "The lower officials have already tested it and can pick it, which is also a great harvest."

Xu Qilin withdrew his gaze from the cotton field and sighed: "It's spectacular. I'm a little bit uninformed and shallow, and I only think of these two words to describe it."

"If Xu Cheng said that he was talented and knowledgeable, no one dared to say that he was talented." The young official accompanied him to compliment him with a smile.

Xu Qilin smiled and waved his hand to be humble, and also knew the hard work and longing of these little officials.

To put it bluntly, they are already experts in cotton planting and technical authority. In the future, they will be popular in any place. What's more, Xu Qilin has promised to repay their merits to the court and strive to gain access to the market.

What is in the flow of the world is the difference between an official and an official. No matter what talent Xu Qilin is, he has a skill to give an official. In his opinion, it is not an exaggeration to do so.

As long as the value of cotton is recognized and valued by His Majesty Li Er, it is not difficult for these people to become officials from officials. It is necessary to determine the value, and Xu Qilin firmly believes in this.

After symbolically asking about the harvesting personnel's preparations for gloves and other tools, Xu Qilin waved his hand to give orders like commanding thousands of troops.

In order to make the first harvest feel a bit ritual, Xu Qilin must be present. This order must be issued by him to appear solemn.

The men and women carrying baskets and carrying baskets pressed the ridges and started charging and harvesting as soon as they ordered.

This scene is really spectacular!

Xu Qilin suddenly felt that his words were scarce, but he didn't feel much lost. Like others, he was quite excited.

The white cotton turns into white silver, and it is just around the corner. Well, it is such a huge profit.

During the busy labor scene, Xu Qilin saw local farmers.

After harvesting cotton, they can rest comfortably. According to the income of 15 times the yield per mu of grain, they will earn 50% more this year. If they still plant it next year, how can they miss this good thing?

Xu Qilin also saw a woman's army of cotton harvesting, all of whom were slaves to the textile workshops that were full of longing for "city". In order to make them feel at ease, Xu Qilin even built a house for them in advance.

The desire for freedom and the urgency to get rid of their status as slaves made them very energetic. Among them, Zhou Qi and her mother were also on the list.

More cotton picking troops are people recruited by surrounding towns and towns. They pay according to the harvest quantity and record it in person, and will never default.

Not only do you have wages, but you also need food. A large pot is burned in the shed next to you, preparing meals. The aroma of meat has already wafted out, stimulating people's feelings and enhancing their enthusiasm for work.

Anyway, no matter what the purpose is, Xu Qilin tried his best to satisfy him, so he mobilized a large army of cotton picking to complete the harvest as soon as possible and carry out textile processing as soon as possible.

"Alang, come and have some rest." Scarlett greeted, and the fruits and vegetables were prepared under the shed.

I have no work, so I don't have to rest.

Xu Qilin waved his hand in response and continued to look at it, as if the general was watching his army sing and sing.

After persisting for a long time, the picking team had already penetrated into the cotton field and was far away. Xu Qilin relaxed and returned to the undersea.

Well, the juice was good. Xu Qilin drank a big glass and breathed comfortably. At first glance, he saw Ajiani staring at the shed not far away where he was cooking.

"No prospect." Xu Qilin rolled his eyes, "I haven't eaten any food at home, and I still want to compete with the workers for food."

A Jiani seemed to have heard A Lang's evaluation of herself. She was just a foodie and didn't care at all. She even defended her: "But she is a little hungry, and the smell of the meat is really tempting."

"It's the most common mutton soup. Is there anything tempting or not?" Xu Qilin said: "If you are hungry, go and eat it quickly, while the cotton picker hasn't come back yet."

Ajiani was so happy that she turned around and rushed to the dining shed without any delay.

Scarlett smiled twice and said, "Don't blame Alang, she just makes a sperm, and her belly is a bottomless pit. However, she grows quite fast, didn't Alang notice it?"

"It seems to be true!" Xu Qilin guessed that he could see it every day, so it was difficult to detect Ajiani's growth, including Scarlett.

"I'm not slow, either." Scarlett stood up straight, looking taller and straightened his chest.

Xu Qilin smiled and didn't praise her, for fear that she would think too much. He picked up the abacus and calculated the output and efficiency ratio of cotton and mulberry planting and silkworm cultivation.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the fabrics available to ancient Chinese people were mainly silk and hemp.

The so-called cloth clothing refers to linen. It has good breathability, and can even be said to be air leakage, and it is rough and has its huge disadvantage, and most of it is worn by people.

Silk is exquisite, but it is expensive. From mulberry tree planting to silkworm cultivation, to the process of drawing silk and releasing silk, the process is complicated and consumes a lot of manpower, which ordinary people generally cannot afford to wear.

Moreover, the comfort of silk is not very good. It does not absorb sweat in summer and is easy to fit the body; it does not keep warm in winter, and it looks the same as linen.

Cotton is different, which solves the two major problems of comfort and warmth well. The fabrics woven can include fine cotton and cheesecloth, which also takes into account the needs of the upper and lower levels.

From the perspective of output, cotton is also higher than mulberry silkworms, and the labor cost is very low, so it has an advantage over silk in terms of cost.

Well, Xu Qilin thinks that cost is a big problem. No matter how good the price is, no one cares about it, let alone ordinary people.

The price of cotton textiles will most likely remain high within two or three years. This is caused by the imbalance of supply and demand, but it cannot be linked to the price and value.

In other words, cotton textiles have a lot of room for price reduction.

Therefore, as long as you promote the planting of cotton and spread textile technology, even if the people cannot afford the finished products on the market, they will plant one or two acres of cotton, and the home-textile fabric will be enough for clothing.

If farmers grow cotton and every family has looms, the price of cotton cloth will drop, and the cotton spinning workshop in Dayingku will not make any money?

This kind of worry actually makes sense, but Xu Qilin doesn't care. It's okay to wear the cloth woven by the people's homes, but how can the genres be compared with the workshop?

Cotton cloth is not synonymous with coarse cloth, and coarse cloth can only be woven by people's homes. Dayingku's cotton spinning workshops need to be continuously developed and progressed.

Moreover, there are many types of cotton cloth, both high, medium and low.

Like the poplin worn in summer, it has a delicate texture, a luster, soft and soft feel, and a soft and glutinous feel; there are also velvet cloth, thread, yarn, etc. As high-end products, you can earn more by exporting them in large quantities.

After working on patterns, color, printing and dyeing, the cotton fabric produced in the workshop has a better quality advantage.

After another calculation, Xu Qilin felt that the prospect was extremely promising. As a bulk export commodity parallel to silk and porcelain, there was no problem.

In the light of his eyes, Ajiani walked back staggeringly. She stroked her stomach without any image while walking, probably because she was over again.

The noodles cooked in mutton soup is simple and delicious, and it is quick to make. For the labor-harvested cotton picking army, you can eat enough. You can make money and fill your body, but no one is lazy.

This made Xu Qilin sigh again, that the ancient people were really there. If such a simple and simple people were not well managed, the local officials should be beheaded.

There were really many people picking cotton, and even had to eat in batches. Here, 180 people sat on the reed mat, and they started eating with an old bowl, and the mutton over there was put into the pot again.

In fact, Xu Qilin also saved these little money. Is mutton soup? Is it okay to have no meat?

Seeing others eating, Xu Qilin sniffed, either the smell of meat or the hungry, and he was a little hungry.

But just after talking about Ajiani, he was embarrassed to go and compete with the migrant workers for food. Fortunately, there was a shed where officials specially cooked food. In order to show their favor, they all made the same food, but they were mixed in the soup and had an extra staple pancake.

Soon a small official brought the meal, fragrant mutton soup and browned pancakes. Xu Qilin ate it comfortably and drank it in two large bowls.

A Jiani was the one who admired Xu Qilin the most. After wandering around, she took another bowl silently, sucked it, and then finished it in a while.

He looked at the soup pot with unsatisfactory feelings. The little girl probably couldn't eat it anymore and left again staggeringly.

Some people who are mountain spirits and sea monsters have heard too much, but they have not become eccentrics. Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and sighed that he is ignorant.

After the meal, the officials rushed over to report and weighed the yield per mu to about 200 to 240 kilograms.

Xu Qilin believes that this data is acceptable. After all, it was planted in the first year and was not a high-yield cotton seed in later generations. It is understandable that the good cotton planting land has only harvested the yield of low-grade fields.

Moreover, this is the yield of seed cotton, and it will decrease after removing seeds.

However, with the increase in planting experience and the meticulous field care, there is still room for cotton production to grow in Hexi.

"The planting volume will increase significantly next year." Xu Qilin said to several officials: "At that time, you will go to various places to provide guidance and supervision, and the task is very heavy. After collecting cotton, you must summarize your experience and each person will submit a proposal."

After pausing, Xu Qilin continued, "I will not treat you badly. In the future, the imperial court will promote planting, and I will recommend you to work in various places. The benefits of cotton are not inferior to those of grains. The development prospects are broad, so don't underestimate it."

"Xu Cheng's vision is always admired by Bei Jie Ren." A head official bowed and said, "Although I haven't seen the benefits of spun cotton, Bei Jie Ren firmly believes it."

"Please rest assured that Xu Cheng, the man is determined to do his best to plant cotton in Ganzhou."

"The ingenious plan of Xu Cheng is too low to wait, so he will only follow the leader of the horse."

…………

Xu Qilin nodded repeatedly and praised him again, and then several officials bowed to retreat.

History has given the answer to how important cotton is.

By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "the benefits of textiles were the best task of saving waste, the main cause of enriching the country, and the resurrection of Guan Yan could not change this."

It can be said that the cotton textile industry has been second only to agriculture for a long historical period and has become synonymous with handicrafts.

"From Youyan in the north, Chu and Guangdong in the south, traveling to Jianghuai in the east, and Qinlong in the west, all the people who wear cotton clothes are suitable for cotton soil. A family of eight people planted a row of cotton and obtained a hundred kilograms a year, so they were not worried about the cold."

Under the traditional Chinese agricultural model of "men farming and women weaving", cotton textiles are spread all over the country, almost "a must-have for ten looms."
