After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Ye Qing paid for the female relatives who came with him to go over and learn how to raise silkworms.

Ye Qing continued to go to that village, hoping to impress the people there, but the villagers were very united, and no one was willing to teach even when Ye Qing offered one hundred taels.

After working hard for half a month, Ye Qing had not made any progress. He was not as good as Wang Yun and the others, who were already able to take care of the silkworms skillfully.

"Qingya, we probably won't be able to learn this technology this time, what should we do?" Ye Fan had been following her for so many days and no longer had any hope.

Ye Qing was also a little discouraged. "No, let's come again next time. This time, we will buy the loom first and let Xiaoya teach us first."

The two of them had not worked in vain for the past half month, as there was a village nearby that sold looms, and they decided to go and take a look.

Ye Qing arranged for someone to buy things to take back, and she and Ye Fan went to Gaojiazhuang.

"What are you doing here?" The two were stopped before they entered the village.

Ye Fan got out of the car and greeted them, "We are here to buy a loom."

"You look unfamiliar. I haven't seen you before." The person who blocked the road looked at them.

"We are from other places and want to buy some looms to take back."

Hearing that there was business coming, the person blocking the road became enthusiastic.

"I'm from the village, you can call me Uncle Zhuang. Come with me and see what you want to buy." The middle-aged man called Uncle Zhuang led the way.

"We don't know either. Let's take a look first." Ye Fan did not say that they had never seen the looms here.

Uncle Zhuang took them to a house at the head of the village, "Village head, they are here to buy a loom."

He then introduced him to Ye Qing and the others, "This is our village head. You can call him Grandpa Gao."

After hearing this, Ye Qing and Ye Fan hurriedly greeted Gao Lizheng.

Gao Lizheng took them to the place where the looms were placed in the village, "There are two kinds of looms here, one can weave fine cloth, and the other is for coarse cloth."

Ye Qing didn't quite understand, so he asked him to explain the difference.

The fine loom can weave silk, and the cloth made from it is expensive because it is very delicate and takes a long time to use.

Coarse cloth is the cloth worn by villagers. It is of average quality and relatively cheap, but one piece can be woven in ten days.

Ye Qing and Ye Fan looked at them carefully and finally decided to buy one of each.

Gao Lizheng was stunned. "You came all the way here, but you only bought two. Isn't that a waste of time?"

Ye Qing pretended to be disappointed, "People over there don't know how to weave cloth, so it's useless to buy more."

Gao Lizheng was even more confused, "If you don't know how to weave, why did you buy a loom?"

Ye Qing explained, "We want to learn the weaving technique, but there is no place to learn it."

"This is the rule here. We won't teach it to outsiders."

"We are willing to hire people. We have a workshop over there and we would like to invite them to work as managers directly." Ye Qing wanted to test whether Gao Lizheng had anyone to recommend.

"Of course, once someone comes to teach us how to weave, we will definitely need ten looms of each type." Ye Qing continued to increase the stakes.

"Your place is too far away, no one will be willing to go there." Gao Lizheng pointed out the problem.

"We provide food and accommodation. If you bring your children with you, we will also arrange for their education." Ye Qing mentioned another benefit.

Gao Lizheng thought about it and said to them, "Come back in a few days and I'll ask for you if anyone is willing to go."

Ye Qing was secretly delighted and quickly agreed. After paying for the two machines, they did not take them away, but put them in Gaojiazhuang first and come back to get them later.

Ye Qing and Ye Fan returned to the city happily. When they arrived at the rented yard, they happened to meet the people who came back from shopping.

Ye Qing went to see the things he had bought. Since he was going to ship them back to Wu'an City to sell, all he bought were dry goods.

There was also some bacon in this batch of goods, which was a local specialty. Ye Qing tasted it twice and liked the taste very much.

Ye Qing did not put all her hopes on Gao Lizheng. She took people to the pawnshop to see if there were any locals who were selling.

Lucheng is wealthy, but some families sell themselves for various reasons.

Ye Fan found two more young men and asked them to go with Ye Qing. There were too many people there and it was not safe for Ye Qing, a girl alone.

The few of them walked around and found that there were not many girls and women, mostly men.

Ye Qing found a reliable weaver and asked, "Do you have anyone here who can weave cloth?"

"There are none here. Generally, those who have some skills go to weaving workshops and can earn one or two taels of silver every month. No one would be willing to sell such people." The broker knew this without even looking at the brothel.

Ye Qing went to another company and asked them if they had anyone suitable.

"Girl, your request is a bit difficult. Even if people like this are short of money, they can work hard for a month or two and have money in their hands again."

Ye Qing also understood this truth, "Then is there anyone willing to work with us? We can hire him as a manager and arrange for the child to go to school."

The broker couldn't keep refusing, so he agreed to help find someone to ask.

Ye Qing left his current address and took his people back.

Ye Qing tried every possible method, but still couldn't find the right person.

Ye Qing's caravan had almost finished purchasing everything. Ye Qing gave each person in the caravan one or two taels of silver and asked them to go out for a walk.

Ye Qing left an empty car for them to load their things. They could buy whatever they wanted as long as it could fit.

After waiting for another two days, Ye Qing took people to the brokerage firm, but the broker still couldn't find a suitable candidate. She could only think of other ways.

Ye Qing took out the name given by Lin Wenxuan. This person was near Lucheng. She had asked around in the city. This person was a wealthy businessman nearby, very wealthy and famous.

Ye Qing was a little hesitant, undecided as to whether he should go find him.

She also knew that this was a favor and it would become less each time she used it.

This is a way out that Doctor Lin leaves for his descendants. Although the two families have a good relationship, they cannot waste this favor just for the sake of making money.

Ye Qing hesitated for two days and decided not to use this opportunity. She could come twice more and she would be able to get it done.

Ye Qing made the decision and felt much better.

I also wanted to take my sister-in-law and younger sisters who have just learned silkworm rearing out to play. This time I brought them here to let them learn weaving. Even if they don't succeed in learning, it's good for them to come out and broaden their horizons.

Ye Qing played for two days. As it was almost time to go back, she took Ye Fan to Gaojiazhuang, mainly to get the two looms. She didn't have much hope that Gao Lizheng would find someone to follow her.

The two brought some gifts and built good relationships with the locals so that they could get discounts when they came back to buy things next time.

Gao Lizheng saw them coming, put down the teacup in his hand, and stood up to greet them.

"Why did you two come just now? I've been looking forward to your coming every day."

Ye Qing joked with him, "Grandpa Gao, you are still afraid that we will run away. We have given you the money, so if we run away, you will still make money."

Gao Lizheng also likes to joke, "I'm not afraid that you will run away, I'm still waiting for you to buy a few more."
