Chapter 350 Dedicate cotton seeds to the emperor
Chapter 350 Dedicate cotton seeds to the emperor!
Shen Xi and Song Shangshang returned to Qingshuigou. Song Yuanbai discussed the purchase of cotton with Shen Xi without avoiding Song Shangshang. The final price was fifty cents per catty!
Shen Xi took over more than 1,500 acres of cotton land!
"Brother Song, this is the deposit!"
Shen Xi took out ten silver notes worth one thousand taels, and Song Yuanbai accepted them without refusing.
Shen Xi did not return to Fusang City at night and stayed at Qingshuigou. During dinner in the evening, the clan leader, Song Zhao and others came over to eat together!
At the wine table, Shen Xi suggested, "Brother Song, since the cotton yield per acre is more than a thousand kilograms, why don't you consider giving the cotton seeds to the guy in the capital?"
"Let him plant in large quantities!"
"This will also benefit you, the Song family." He didn't need to say much about the rest, everyone understood it.
Cotton was a great discovery!
Cotton is not like kapok or silk. It has strong adaptability to the environment, does not need to be taken care of, and has a high yield after autumn.
With cotton, the soldiers fighting on the battlefield can wear cotton clothes and cover themselves with thick quilts in winter, and the same goes for the common people!
I heard from Shang Shang that cotton can also be made into cotton thread and woven into cloth. In short, cotton has many uses!
After Shen Xi said this, everyone present fell silent. After all, the cotton plant was discovered by Chang Shang.
She planted it too!
It can be said that she alone contributed a lot, not even her father Song Yuanbai contributed much!
Besides, the Song family is a sinner, but the Song Yuanbai family is not!
If cotton is grown in large quantities, the price will definitely fall.
At this time, Song Changshang suddenly said, "Brother Shen, my father and I have already thought about what you are talking about. I told my father at the beginning that if I succeed in planting cotton, I will put the cotton seeds into Dedicate it to the emperor and let him plant it in large quantities!"
"Of course, brother, I also kept these cotton seeds for you."
Song Yuanbai also answered, "Yes, my girl told me that if the planting is successful, the seeds will be given to His Majesty the Emperor and planted in large quantities!"
"Let the people all over the world wear cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded clothes, and no longer be afraid of the coming of winter!"
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
After Song Yuanbai finished speaking, everyone present began to applaud.
"Brother Song is so benevolent and righteous!"
Song Yuanbai was confused. He just picked up what his eldest daughter said about benevolence and righteousness.
After meal.
Song Changshang led Shen Xi to visit her "skin care product research laboratory" "Can this thing extract the essence of the flower?"
Shen Xi looked at the twisted copper pipe and said in surprise.
Song Changshang nodded, "Yes, but you said essence. Five thousand kilograms of rose flowers can only extract twenty taels of essential oil."
"So few?" Shen Xi clicked his tongue.
"Well, so brother, do you know how much those skin care products cost, right?"
Shen Xi nodded, "I know it well."
He asked again, "I said, Xiao Changshang, you told me how to make ice with saltpeter, and you told me how to grow bean sprouts, and now you show me around your place, aren't you afraid that I will learn it secretly?"
Shen Xi felt that this girl was too generous. The above-mentioned skills were not special to her and she told others easily.
Isn't she afraid, or doesn't she care, or isn't she afraid of stealing lessons?
Song Changshang glanced at Shen Xi meaningfully, and then said, "Brother, I believe in my vision, and I also believe in your character. You would never do something like that."
"Besides, your family has a big business. Do you want to be interested in my small business?"
After hearing this, Shen Xi shook his head helplessly, "I won't do that kind of sneaky thing, but others may not!"
"So you should show less people to such a confidential place from now on."
Song Changshang responded.
"What I know, no one else knows except you and His Highness Prince Jin."
Ha ha.
She was sure that even if others came and took a closer look, they would at most know how to extract the hydrosol, but if she didn't tell them about the essential oils and creams, it would be impossible for others to know.
So, she is relieved!
"Brother, do you think it's possible for our Song family to go back?"
Song Changshang asked suddenly.
Fuso City is located on the eastern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a long way to go!
