Chapter 337

Some of the cloth merchants here buy cotton directly from farmers and resell them, while others are processed into cotton thread or woven into cloth

Of course, all this was after the government collected the farmers' cotton, and then purchased the remaining part of the farmers' hands.

And this part, basically, is the source of farmers' livelihood, exchanging food, salt and other living materials.

It turns out that there are two weaving workshops in the Luo family, and there are about ten cloth shops in the Luo family It's a pity that the second elder of Luo family doesn't want to mention this.

It seems that the interests involved are very deep, can not be easily touched, at least to the Luo family is now in a precarious situation, they do not want to let their daughter into it.

In this case, Qingu, a cloth merchant, could not do it.

In addition, Qingu also found a phenomenon, that is, the ceramic containers here are sold more expensive, all of which are transported from other places.

She went to the city and the surrounding market towns to learn about the situation: here is located in the plateau, the climate is dry, the land is mostly yellow soil, very barren and rigid.

So Qingu thought that maybe a kiln could be built to make utensils or bricks and tiles, and the sales would be very good.

However, before that, we still need to solve the problem of kiln burning technology. In fact, in terms of technology, there were several tasks in Qingu that were students. When I was a little free, I went to the library to read books, and I read some in every aspect.

It also includes pottery. Although she can't recite the books she has read, she can store them in her brain for a while.

But that only exists in theory, in practice also involves all aspects of the problem.

Qingu wanted to do it. On the one hand, she asked people to explore the best loess soil around here. On the other hand, she went to the county government to inquire about the government information.

Yes, whatever you do, you have to get the approval of the government.

For example, the conditions and processes of kiln approval, what procedures are needed, etc.

Qin Gu didn't expect so much at first, but when she went to yamen for consultation, she ran into a wall.

Qin Gu just consulted a steward, and the other party went to inform Jin Xian Ye.

Soon, the steward took her to a reception hall.

After listening to Qin Gu's idea, Jin Xianye was surprised and asked, "what, do you want to burn a kiln?"

Qin Gu saw each other's appearance and asked, "my Lord, is there anything wrong with this?"

Jin county Lord said: "you have not discussed with Lord Luo?"

Indeed, Qingu did not discuss with the two elders. In fact, they did not fully recover. What they meant was that Qingu should take the silver note to deal with the difficulties in front of him.

When they are ready, they have sorted out the previous things completely, and have never thought of letting their daughter clean up the mess.

Qin Gu said: "they are not well now. I want to see if I can find something to do. Seeing that the ceramics here are all transported from outside, the price is not low, so I want to ask if they can..."

Jin county Lord Oh, no wonder.

But there are also some accidents. Although Miss Luo is a lady in the boudoir, she will know some of these big local policies.

They don't allow kilns in this county.

Even if it's burning drill and tile to build a house, it needs special approval. The procedures are very complicated.

Because there is only one large kiln in this province, other places are not allowed to open.

Jin Xianye explained to Qingu that The climate here is suitable for planting cotton, and it is an important producing area for supplying one third of cotton cloth in China. Burning kilns will destroy the vegetation environment here. The imperial court does not allow it... "

Qin Gu, oh, so it is.

This is a policy issue of the imperial court. Since it can't be done, then think of another way out.

Qingu couldn't help saying: "in fact, the climate here is not suitable for planting cotton. Although there is sufficient sunshine, there is not enough water here, and many of the land is relatively barren, so it is completely planted in a small amount."

Jin county Lord sighed slightly, "what you said is also reasonable, but this is the indicator given above, and there is no way. However, just now you said you wanted to burn a kiln, but in fact It's not impossible. "

"Oh, what do you say? Please give me your advice. " Qin Gu asked in a hurry.

Facing Qingu's eager eyes, Jin Xianye moved his eyes slightly and said, "but Maybe the investment cycle is a little long. "

Although Qin Gu's first idea died, she was not discouraged at all.

After all, she came to this small time and space less than a month, everything is slowly groping for it.

And she couldn't be grateful for her sincere advice.

"Please speak, my Lord," he said

Jin Xianye: "there is a semi desert area between Qutang county and Lianshan mountain one hundred miles to the West. Now the imperial court has given an indicator to reclaim it. Those who reclaim land will be taxed at no rate for the first five years, and only 20% for ordinary land after five years. "

He quickly added: "as long as we succeed in pioneering work, as long as we can complete the task of the imperial court, we can do anything on it Of course, it also includes the kiln. "It's a bit tempting, but This investment cycle will take at least two or three years to see the benefits.

In other words, it will take two or three years to turn wasteland into land.

Even if she's allowed to burn on it Is the soil composition suitable for the kiln?

For a moment, Qin Gu hesitated.

I am now in other people's life, to put it bluntly, she is now small world space transmission fees are their own pad.

She wants to use her resources as soon as possible to set up a factory, and then, like the original world of Xinyou, recruit some women from poor families to work Just earn some merit as soon as possible.

What if I just put these on the regular, the client will come back, how to do?

Qin Gu said, "thank you, Mr. Jin. I'll go back to discuss with my father first. I'll call you back tomorrow at most."

It is close to the desert, dry and rainless, and the land is barren.

But every year the dust is approaching Qutang County, and the climate is much worse than it was ten years ago.

The people who lived on the edge of Lianshan had already moved away because they couldn't live any longer.

The court is also in a hurry. If it goes on like this, the whole Qutang county will be swallowed up by wind and sand in a few years.

In fact, the source of all this is due to the massive construction of kilns here decades ago.

Because the kiln needs a lot of wood, where does this wood come from? It's on the mountain, of course.

At the beginning, we only saw the immediate interests, cut down trees to build kilns, and did not know how to restore vegetation. Later, the surrounding areas became barren mountains.

Gradually, the climate here has changed.
