Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei visited the entire workshop. There were many processes, but everything was well organized and busy but not chaotic.

Shengxia explained, "I have assigned specific people to each process, and they only do this process. Practice makes perfect. This will improve efficiency and there is no need to learn so many processes. People's energy is limited."

Ning Zhiwei had long discovered that Xia Sheng was very smart, full of vitality and creativity, so she specially arranged for her to study for a period of time. She was smart and very hardworking, and she made rapid progress.

She handed this villa to Shengxia and placed high hopes on her.

Shengxia did not disappoint her expectations.

Here, Ning Zhiwei witnessed the cotton cloth production process with his own eyes.

After the cotton seeds are manually removed, the cotton is rubbed with an iron rod, repeatedly rubbing it. Note (1)

She pointed at a strange object, "What is this?"

Shengxia smiled and said, "The cotton churning machine is used for primary processing."

After processing, the cotton is fluffed using wooden bows and hanging bows.

The rolled cotton strips are divided into two parts: one part is made directly into quilts, and the other part is used for spinning, dyeing, sizing, and weaving to obtain cloth. Note (2)

Ning Zhiwei touched the freshly-made cotton pad, which was fluffy and soft, and was filled with joy.

"This cotton pad feels very warm to the touch, and it becomes a quilt when you put a layer of cotton cloth on the outside."

"These cotton wool can also be made into cotton clothes, so people can now have something good to keep warm. That's great, really great."

Although she bought wool last year and knitted 100,000 woolen clothes and trousers to distribute to the soldiers, the cost was high and it could not be widely used. It could only be supplied to the army.

But this cotton is different, it can be popularized.

Shengxia couldn't help but chuckle, "After my experiments, I found that our northwest climate is dry, the sun shines for a long time, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which is very suitable for growing cotton. It is also suitable for those wastelands to be planted, and it is not suitable to occupy farmland."

Ning Zhiwei was even happier because the people were not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but were afraid of having no money.

Farmers' farming depends on weather and good harvests. With cotton, they have another way to make a living.

"Okay, Shengxia, you did a great job. I'll give you credit for the first place."

Shengxia looked at Ning Zhiwei with sparkling eyes full of admiration.

"I dare not take credit for it. It was your suggestion at the time that led to all these follow-ups. You also sent all kinds of talents to me and let me give full play to them. All this is thanks to you."

It was Ning Zhiwei's appearance that saved her life. She also carefully trained her, entrusted her with important tasks, and handed over this very important villa to her.

The only way to repay this life-saving grace and this kindness is to die.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

Ning Zhiwei waved her hand. She had just said it casually at the time, but she didn't expect Shengxia to remember it and give her such a big surprise.

"I'll give you a shop, and you can choose it yourself."

Shengxia's face was full of joy, "Anything is fine?"

"Yes." The thing Ning Zhiwei had the most was shops. She also planned to build a snack street, like a trade fair, gathering snacks from all over the world.

Food is the most important thing for people. When people have a little money in their hands, they are still willing to buy food.

However, we have to wait until the time is right.

Ning Zhiwei looked at everyone and said, "Everyone who participates will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

There was jubilation at the scene. Ten taels of silver was enough for a family of four to live for five years.

How can ordinary people save money? They are lucky to have enough food to eat in a year.

Shengxia took the initiative to speak, "My lord, there are several people who have performed very well. Please allow me to introduce them to you."

"Craftsman Chen Aniu, farmer Jiang Dashan, and textile industry worker Li Xiaoyu all came up with very useful ideas during this process."

Two men and one woman, looking uneasy.

In today's society, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are ranked like this: scholars are people who read books and are ranked at the front.

All things are inferior, only reading is superior, that is to say, except for scholars, all others are lowly.

They lived at the bottom of society and were often trampled upon. When they were taken into the villa, they thought it was just another critical hit.

Unexpectedly, they ate white flour buns here, had enough food and warm clothes, and received unprecedented respect.

This completely motivated them.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I will reward each of you with 100 taels of silver." Ning Zhiwei was never stingy with money. He would reward those who had made contributions and punish those who had made mistakes.

The three of them were stunned, and then burst into tears of joy, "Thank you, Lord."

Others were extremely envious. Ah, one hundred taels of silver! This was a amount of money that many people could never earn in their entire lives.

Ning Zhiwei looked at everyone and said, "I hope you will keep up the good work. I will not forget anyone who has made a contribution."

Everyone was excited, "Yes."

After being stimulated by real money, everyone was very motivated and wanted to work for a few hundred more years.

"A new cotton-padded clothing store has opened in the General's Mansion. Have you heard about it? What does it sell?"

"The notice said it was for warming items, cotton cloth, cotton wool, and cotton quilts."

"What is that? I've never heard of it."

In winter, people relied on burning charcoal to keep warm, put straw under their beds, and used hay and reed fluff in their quilts. Rich people wore animal furs, while ordinary people wore more clothes and tried not to go out.

"It opens today, let's go check it out."

When they arrived, they found the door was crowded with people, but they didn't dare to go in.

This colorful cotton cloth and snow-white cotton wool look very expensive.

"Everyone, make way and let me in."

"Shopkeeper, how much do you sell this for?"

The shopkeeper pointed at the price and said loudly, "A piece of cotton cloth is one hundred coins, a pound of cotton wool is twenty coins, and five pounds of cotton batting is two hundred coins. You can feel them. These are good things and will keep you warm."

The woman touched it, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "I want two pieces of cloth and ten kilograms of cotton wool."

I can make five cotton-padded coats, but I don’t need to make quilts. I can put the cotton-padded coats on top of the old quilt when I sleep at night, and it’s also very warm.

"Okay, four hundred coins."

It's totally worth it to spend a warm winter with only four hundred coins.

As soon as the woman started talking, people rushed in and started buying things.

They were sold out in a short time and a sold-out sign was hung at noon.

Those who didn't buy the item were very upset. The shopkeeper smiled and bowed, "Everyone, please come early tomorrow."

In the teahouse box opposite, Rong Jing watched for a while and was very surprised, "I didn't expect it to sell so well."

Ning Zhiwei smiled, "We encourage people to do small businesses in their spare time and encourage people to open up wasteland. There is still some extra money on hand. This is also a necessity. The winter in the northwest is very cold."

Rong Jing smiled slightly, "It's quite cold at night now, so whether you have money or not, you should get married first so that you can celebrate the New Year."

"Pfft." Ning Zhiwei couldn't help but laugh. This guy really was urging her to get married, both openly and covertly.

Rong Jinghao was helpless. Why was it so difficult to get married?

He hugged Ning Zhiwei and kissed her face, "Can't you just comfort me?"

"Be good." Ning Zhiwei touched his face.

Rong Jing laughed angrily.

Suddenly, Ning Zhiwei's eyes fixed, "Hey, isn't that Shaoyao? Who is the man walking next to her?"

When she saw the man's face clearly, she gasped and her face turned pale.

Rong Jing was startled and quickly supported her, "What's wrong?"

"Here comes the ghost who wants to take my life." Ning Zhiwei's voice was extremely strange, and his eyes flickered. "He's here to die."

Rong Jing:……? ? ?
