The closer it gets to the Spring Festival, the greater the demand for this cloth.
The machines in the weaving factory are producing non-stop every day, as if they want to wipe out all the sparks. Even so, the market is still in short supply.
It is still a planned economy now, and we produce as much as the country requires.
In fact, the gap in demand is too large and the supply cannot keep up, which has led to a situation where cloth is hard to come by.
The amount of cloth on the market is limited, but the people's demand is unlimited. Since the cloth allocated to each person cannot keep up with the demand, the people will naturally find ways to get cloth from other places.
As the director of the publicity department of the weaving factory, Liu Hua must have a lot of connections.
She didn't dare to use the fabric resources in the factory, so she wanted to see if she could get anything from Ye Li.
In fact, she was just trying to see if it worked. If it worked, that would be the best. If not, there were other ways. Of course, those ways were not good enough, so she would try not to use them.
Of course, this is also a huge opportunity and challenge for Ye Li, so she has always kept this matter in mind.
...
...
She didn't have time to go to Qingshan Village some time ago, but her work has not been too busy recently, so she quickly took some time to go back to Qingshan Village.
The day she arrived, the village weaving workshop was closed and there was no work.
After asking around, I found out that all the cotton grown in the village had been used up. Without cotton, there was no way to spin thread, and without thread, there was no way to weave cloth, so everyone had to take a rest.
Ye Li returned to his eldest uncle and third uncle's home and happened to catch the gift exchange between Lin Yuetao and Guan Gensheng's families. The house was particularly lively.
Her arrival added some joy to this happy event.
"Sister, why are you here? I didn't expect you to come! Come on, take a seat! Today is the day that Yuetao and I exchange gifts, and next month, before the Spring Festival, will be our wedding day." Guan Gensheng couldn't wait to share his joy with Ye Li.
When the villagers in the house saw her coming, they all stood up and welcomed her:
"Comrade Ye, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Today the two newlyweds are exchanging gifts. You have to sit down and have a drink."
"Yes, yes! You have brought good news to our Qingshan Village. Thanks to the loom you and the man gave us, you also taught us the skills. Otherwise, we would not have been able to prepare the cloth and cut out the new clothes so early this year!"
When her uncle Guan Fuan and her third uncle Guan Ningquan saw her, their faces were filled with smiles.
They also didn't expect that such a capable woman would emerge from the Guan family and lead everyone towards a happy path.
Ye Li felt embarrassed by the praise.
She also wanted to stay and have a couple of drinks, but she came here on a mission today, and she had to hurry back, so she had to interrupt the joyous atmosphere and directly state her purpose.
"Thank you, fellow villagers, and thank you Gensheng and Yuetao. Today is a good day for both of them, and I shouldn't have come to disturb them. But I came here with a mission, and I must explain it clearly to everyone. I hope you can give me some time..."
Seeing Ye Li's apologetic face, Lin Yuetao knew it must be something related to work.
She was a reasonable person, and she knew what Ye Li meant to Qingshan Village. She was able to wear this brand new dress on the day of the engagement and gift exchange, and she was really grateful for the loom and weaving skills that Ye Li brought, so she didn't mind Ye Li's interruption today, and she was really looking forward to her saying some more exciting news.
Since the host doesn't mind, the villagers will mind even less.
"Sister, you said, we are all looking forward to you bringing us some new news." Lin Yuetao looked expectant.
Guan Gensheng quietly held Lin Yuetao's hand and leaned close to her: "Sister, Yuetao is very capable. She has been directing everyone to work these days, and she has done a good job. There is no cotton in the village these days, and everyone in the weaving workshop has rested, but everyone is looking forward to your coming, hoping that you can bring more resources and news to everyone."
"I came here for this matter." The villagers present were not outsiders, and this matter was closely related to everyone, so Ye Li did not beat around the bush and said directly, "I came here to see that some villagers have changed into new clothes. It seems that the woven cloth is not bad, and it is almost enough, right? The purpose of opening a weaving workshop is not only to give ourselves new clothes to wear, but also to hope that the cloth woven in the weaving workshop can create some economic benefits for everyone. To put it simply, it is to exchange for some money."
Everyone is poor these days.
There are no supplies and no money.
Although the villagers have production teams and can be self-sufficient, the importance of money is self-evident. It has been like this since ancient times. Without money, it will be difficult to get by anywhere.
Ordinary people not only want to fill their stomachs, but also hope to have some money to control themselves.
Who can complain about having too much money?
Ye Li's words made everyone nod their heads.
"The production team's cows are too old. The team wants to buy a few more oxen, but we don't have enough money!"
"Yes, my family wants to renovate the house. This house is in bad condition. When it rains, the beams leak. When it is windy, the windows whistle and let in wind. The mud house can't withstand it. If we want to renovate the house, we need money!"
"I need money to marry my son off!"
Seeing that everyone was particularly touched, Ye Li nodded and continued, "I came here this time to help you solve the problem of insufficient cotton thread. After this problem is solved, I hope everyone will continue to work. In addition to weaving cloth for our villagers to meet their living needs, I hope everyone can also work hard to weave more cloth. I will find channels to help you then.
Everyone sells it. After it is converted into money, the money will be handed over to the village committee, and then the production team will distribute dividends to everyone. Of course, this matter can only be known to our own villagers. It must not be spread out. Once it is known to other villages, our weaving business will be over!"
This is the source of wealth for Qingshan Village, and it affects the living standards of every family and even every individual.
The people in the village are not stupid, and no one is willing to cut off their own source of income.
"Don't worry! We will keep it a secret."
"That's right. Everyone wants to live a life of plenty and warmth. Only a fool or a person with a hole in his brain would cut off the source of income for our village."
"Yes! You can't do that!"
"We all have to be low-key and careful, and keep it a secret!"
Ye Li was very satisfied with everyone's attitude and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Lin Yuetao was more concerned about the cotton thread: "Sister, how do we solve this thread problem? Have you thought about it?"
