But just like Xu Ziqian said, now the price of cotton cloth is neither too high nor too low, so the sales volume is very average.
But if the price is lowered, sales will definitely increase.
The land and weather in northern Xinjiang are great advantages for growing cotton, and it would be a pity to throw them away.
She looked at the King Jin and the other man and said, "Moreover, when cotton is produced in large quantities, it can be made into cotton clothes and quilts, which will keep the people warmer in winter, and some people will no longer freeze to death."
There were no quilts at that time, so she had never seen cotton-padded clothes made with cotton before.
So this is a gap in the market, and you will definitely make money if you take advantage of it.
The key is that the people can benefit.
King Jin thought it made sense, "Are cotton clothes warm?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Yes, and the quilt filled with cotton is also very warm."
"Although it's not as light and comfortable as a silk quilt, it's definitely a good thing for ordinary people to keep warm in winter."
Nowadays, the quilts that poor people cover themselves with are made of linen filled with hay, straw, reed catkins, etc.
The quilts used by the rich and powerful are mostly filled with cotton, or have fur pads and covers, and the more luxurious ones are silk quilts.
In this era, cotton was not yet popular, so no one used quilts.
She suggested, "Your Highness, you can have someone make a cotton coat and a quilt to try, and you will know the warmth-keeping effect."
"If the white daisy is widely planted, not only will it allow more people to earn money, but the cotton cloth woven from it can also be sold to every part of Daliang, which will also be a considerable amount of wealth."
The last point is what can impress King Jin.
Before Shi Qing settled in Heyang County, he originally wanted Xiao Hanzheng to promote cotton planting.
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 Jin Wang. As long as he proposes to promote large-scale cotton planting, it can be done.
As expected, Prince Jin was tempted when he heard about the considerable wealth.
He looked at Xu Ziqin, "What do you think, Ziqin?"
Xu Ziqin thought for a moment and said, "If it's like what Madam Shi said, I think it's feasible."
He stressed that "the prerequisite is to increase the yield of white cotton and manufacture machines for picking cotton seeds and weaving cotton cloth."
Shi Qingluo was already prepared. She took out a few sheets of paper from the cross-body pouch she was carrying and handed them over.
"These are the things you need to pay attention to when planting cotton, as well as how to top the cotton. As long as you plant it according to these, the yield will definitely not be low."
"If the farmers don't know how to do it, Your Highness can find a time and place for me to do it myself, and then have people learn it and go to other places to teach the farmers."
"The other two are drawings of two types of machines. Your Majesty can ask the craftsmen to make them and try them out."
Prince Jin took the paper and looked at it.
The entire detailed process of growing white floribunda, things that need to be paid attention to, and how to increase the yield are all included.
At this time, Qing Luo was really surprised. She had just arrived in Northern Xinjiang, but she actually knew how to plant this white floribunda and increase its yield.
I looked at the detailed machine diagram again and was shocked.
This is amazing! Even a skilled craftsman may not be able to draw this drawing.
After reading it, he handed it to Xu Ziqin.
After reading it carefully, Xu Ziqin felt the same way as Prince Jin.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Shi Qingluo was a little different.
Xu Ziqin couldn't help but say: "Madam Shi is really an expert!"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you are too kind!"
Prince Jin couldn't wait to ask: "Madam Shi, what is the second idea you mentioned?"
He thinks that the white floribunda is feasible.
He planned to have people make cotton-padded clothes and quilts, as well as these two machines to try out. If the effects that Shi Qingluo described were really achieved, he would immediately have people promote large-scale planting in northern Xinjiang.
Shi Qingluo said: "Growing medicinal herbs. In the environment here in the northern border, many inexpensive medicinal herbs can be grown artificially."
"The price of medicinal herbs is not cheap, so the profits from the cultivation of the people will not be bad, and they will all thank the prince when the time comes."
Nowadays, there are basically no artificially cultivated medicinal herbs. They are all picked in the wild, so the quantity is limited and the price is so expensive.
Many people just endure their illnesses because medical treatment and medicine are too expensive.
To improve this situation, it is necessary to popularize medicinal herbs that can be artificially cultivated.
Artificial cultivation of medicinal materials can be promoted not only in northern Xinjiang, but also in the entire Daliang.
Now we can use the northern border as a demonstration area. After it succeeds, the emperor can learn from it and then promote it.
In this way, it will not be so expensive and difficult for people to see a doctor and get medicine.
King Jin was stunned, "Many medicinal herbs can be planted?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Of course."
She took out another stack of papers and said, "This is the list of medicinal herb varieties I listed based on the booklet that the prince gave me."
"I have given a detailed introduction on which places are suitable for growing which medicinal herbs."
She used a table format, so it was clear at a glance.
This also made Prince Jin and Xu Ziqin frightened again.
I had only heard that Shi Qingluo knew a lot of ideas for making money, but I never thought she had such a talent.
Just by looking at the conditions in various places in northern Xinjiang, we can list what medicinal herbs are suitable for planting in different places.
The key point is that it doesn't look like random writing. She wrote down exactly how to grow each medicinal herb.
"I have heard that Madam Shi is good at planting before, but now it seems that the rumor was an understatement."
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "I personally like things in this area, so I studied it myself."
She added, “The master also taught me some.”
Prince Jin and Xu Ziqin believed this. If the old immortal had not taught her, she would not have known so much.
But this is also amazing.
They had underestimated her value before, but now it seems they have to pay more attention to her.
Prince Jin thought for a moment and asked, "If we promote the cultivation of these medicinal herbs in Northern Xinjiang, it shouldn't take long, right?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "It will take at least a year, or at most several years to see the benefits."
"But once you get started and start generating profits, the profits will naturally continue to flow in. The main thing that takes time is the initial investment."
She proposed to let King Jin grow medicinal herbs, which would not only benefit the people, but also have the effect of restricting King Jin.
Who knows whether this northern border will still be King Jin’s fiefdom in a few years.
When huge profits start to come, the person who will profit may become the emperor.
Although we need to give Prince Jin a taste of sweetness and give him advice, we cannot let him accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.
Otherwise, he would use all the money to recruit soldiers, improve and replace weapons, etc., which would be detrimental to the stability of Daliang.
So even if Shi Qingluo had taken all of this into account, Prince Jin would not have thought of these things.
Sure enough, although Prince Jin felt that it took a long time, the long-term benefits were still huge.
Now is not the time to fight for the world, he can still wait.
Moreover, even if he planned a rebellion in advance, if he could seize the world, the northern border would still be his territory, and it would be beneficial to him if he could allow people to grow medicinal herbs on a large scale.
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange the planting according to the list you gave me."
He changed the subject and said, "If you encounter any problems, I will need your help and guidance then."
Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded, "No problem, I can go to the scene to help teach at any time."
