Chapter 175 Unprecedented Cotton Silk Cloth
Last time Wang Yongjun left Xiao Yingchun in London to send Dai Enning away. Although He Liangcong didn't say anything, he made a conclusion for Wang Yongjun in his heart.
Wang Yongjun is soft-hearted and values friendship and does not know how to refuse his friends' requests.
This kind of temperament is okay in a small county town. After all, a small county town values humanity and sophistication. But in a place like the capital, it is not enough.
Boguzhai operates as a company, so it is better to use professional people.
Xiao Yingchun naturally agreed: "I listen to you."
When He Cong saw Xiao Yingchun's reply, he immediately called again and explained for a long time.
After the two parties agreed, Xiao Yingchun took a shower and went to sleep peacefully.
At around five o'clock the next morning, Xiao Yingchun was woken up by the alarm clock. When he went downstairs, he found Fu Chenan already waiting in the reception room on the second floor.
"Let's go." Fu Chenan still pulled Xiao Yingchun over.
After Xiao Yingchun got dressed again, Fu Chenan helped her get into a carriage: "I'll take you to see the cattle farm."
The cattle farm was not far away. The river passed through a valley, and Fu Jiajun directly enclosed the valley into a cattle farm.
When Xiao Yingchun arrived, Niu Gensheng was muttering about the old cow that had been disemboweled, and several young people nearby listened carefully.
When Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun walked over, Niu Gensheng was startled and stood up to greet them.
The group returned to the tent at the cattle farm. Fu Chenan asked someone to bring hot tea and food, and the three of them talked about the situation while eating breakfast.
It turns out that the progress of artificial bezoar is not going smoothly. Many cows became infected after being implanted with the "seeds" of artificial bezoar.
Seeing that the cow is dying day by day, I have no choice but to kill it...
Fortunately, in order not to affect subsequent reproduction, Niu Gensheng used bulls that were more than ten years old for the experiment.
If you succeed, you will have bezoar. If the cow dies, you will make beef jerky, and there will be no waste.
Xiao Yingchun didn't know much about technology, so he asked Dr. Lao Niu what was the biggest problem?
Niu Gensheng said that the biggest problem is to prevent the wound from suppurating.
When talking about this, Xiao Yingchun asked about the disinfection during implantation and the subsequent anti-inflammation of the cow.
Niu Gensheng thought thoughtfully: "Is it because the venue and the wound were dirty that the wound worsened?"
Thinking of this possibility, Niu Gensheng became excited: "General, Mrs. Xiao, you eat slowly, I will discuss it with them first..."
He actually dropped the bowl and Fu Chenan and ran away!
Xiao Yingchun looked at the old man Rufeng's back in surprise: "He quite likes to study..."
Fu Chenan handed a piece of pastry to Xiao Yingchun: "Eat first and leave him alone."
As soon as the two people came out of the tent after eating, several men in coarse clothes rushed over and started shouting from a distance.
"General! General! We are willing to fight, we don't want to raise cattle..."
Xiao Yingchun looked confused. He looked at those people and then at Fu Chenan.
Fu Chenan took a step forward with a stern face, protecting Xiao Yingchun behind him.
Several men rushed over, seemingly anxious. The leader quickly said: "General, we were wrong!"
"We shouldn't want to go back. If we had known that you had taken our children out, we would never have gone back..."
"We are willing to join the Fu family army! We are willing to stay!"
After some explanation, Xiao Yingchun suddenly realized: It turned out that these people came from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
They fought against the Tatar cavalry all the way. After reaching Taizhou, they were persuaded by Fu Chenan to stay, but they insisted on going back.
Who would have thought that he would be arrested and sent to a cattle ranch within twenty miles of walking out.
These days they deal with cow dung, old cows, dead cows, and beef jerky all day long, and their prospects are bleak.
After they heard that their children had been settled, they almost went crazy!
They want to go to war, not feed the cows.
No, when they saw Fu Chenan coming, they rushed over. The leading general felt aggrieved: "There will eventually be a family to feed. If we feed cattle all year round, how will we feed the family?"
"The final general wants to go to the battlefield, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, earn a fortune for his wife, children, and children, and fight for a future."
Fu Chenan looked at these eager soldiers: "It's not impossible for you to go back to Fu's Army, but I have a question. You need to think carefully before answering me."
"If in the future, you need to lead your troops back to the capital to face the emperor and the garrison in the capital, will you shrink back? Will you feel guilty? Will you waver?"
Several soldiers looked at each other and soon began to express their stance: "We must move forward bravely!"
"We strictly obey orders!"
"We will never show mercy!"
Fu Chenan snorted coldly: "What if the emperor allows you to serve as a dragon? What if he allows you to be a high official and receive a generous salary?"
"What if your family and friends say that you are treasonous and advise you to 'abandon the darkness and join the light'?"
The expressions of several soldiers changed again: if they could not rebel, they definitely didn't want to rebel.
The idea of "divine right of kings" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for many years, and it is not easy to change.
The emperor imposed exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people complained endlessly, but they would rather hang themselves than rebel. This is the reason.
Seeing their hesitation, Fu Chenan knew that these people didn't really want to follow the Fu family army, they just didn't want to raise cattle.
They don't want to join the rebellion, and they also want high-ranking officials and generous salaries. These people are too greedy.
Fu Chenan led Xiao Yingchun away.
Back in Yongzhou City, Xiao Yingchun took out two rolls of cotton silk fabric.
Fu Zhonghai didn’t know much about fabrics either, but he immediately called the owner of the largest cloth shop in the city, Hutchison Cloth Shop.
He Shouwen, the owner of He Ji Buzhuang, entered the Marshal's Mansion tremblingly.
He Shouwen thought that his secret dealings with Prince Toto had been discovered and that he was going to die in the Marshal's Mansion. He had given his last words before going out, but when he entered, he found that he was only allowed to look at the fabric.
Looking at the cool and smooth fabric, the complex patterns, fine textures, rich colors, and the two-meter width... He Shouwen couldn't hide his shock.
"This kind of fabric has never been seen or heard of by ordinary people."
"What do the marshal and the general want to ask me?"
Fu Zhonghai looked kindly: "If I sell this fabric to you, what is the highest price you can sell per foot?"
When asked a professional question, He Shouwen composed himself: "This fabric is cold to the touch and as smooth as ice silk."
"And the color and width are unprecedented... I guess the cost is not cheap."
"One foot of cloth should be sold for two hundred coins..."
Fu Zhonghai had just asked Xiao Yingchun the price, and he knew very clearly: the profit was huge.
Besides, cloth is used by ordinary people for daily use. As long as the quantity is large, it is easy to make a fortune every day...
Fu Zhonghai nodded and his smile became gentler: "If I have channels to get such goods, can you help me sell them?"
He Shouwen's eyes widened: "Marshal, you mean... let the common people help sell such cloth?"
Seeing Fu Zhonghai nodding, He Shouwen didn't know what he was thinking of, and asked with a trembling face, "How much do you plan to ask the common people to sell it per foot?"
Fu Zhonghai waved his hand: "How much you charge per foot is your business. I only ask you, if I supply you, how much can you charge per foot?"
He Shouwen wiped his sweat and knelt down: "Marshal, you have the final say. Whatever you say... it's whatever you say!"
Seeing him almost peeing with fear, Fu Zhonghai suddenly realized: Does He Shouwen think he is going to find a reason to get money from him? !
If I want to get his money, do I still need to find a reason?
How dare he refuse to give me a spear? !
