She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

Qin Yu kept over 100 jin of cotton to experiment with degreased cotton and make tampons.

There were only a few hundred kilograms of cotton left.

After late autumn, winter is not far away.

Qin Yu simply found workers to make cotton-padded clothes.

They rushed to make three hundred sets of cotton-padded clothes and found a caravan to escort them to the frontier.

At this time, because of the mass production of cotton, everyone in the village wanted to plant it.

They approached the village chief again, requesting that he put pressure on Qin Yu.

The village chief was somewhat helpless, but when he saw the snow-white cotton, he was tempted.

I felt that it must be something good.

He himself did not want to go to Qin Yu.

But the villagers all needed him to find solutions to their cotton problems.

In the end, he had no choice but to say that he could discuss it with Qin Yu first and sound out Qin Yu's opinion.

That day, Qin Yu was sitting under a tree in the Jingcao Courtyard when the village chief walked in.

"Lu Chen's wife, are you busy?"

The village chief didn't really want to see Qin Yu.

Compared to her before, Qin Yu now always gives people a sense of pressure.

So every time the village chief saw her, he would subconsciously avoid Qin Yu.

But now, for the sake of everyone, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and come to her.

"Village chief, what's the matter?"

The village chief hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Here's the thing, we've all seen how well you've harvested your cotton. We just wanted to ask if you could sell us some seeds, as we'd like to plant some too!"

The village chief was unwilling.

Qin Yu had refused because of the fish balls incident last time.

But being forced into this situation, he had no choice but to shamelessly ask.

I already knew in my heart what the outcome would be.

So as soon as Qin Yu asked, he could immediately reply to the villagers.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Qin Yu speak.

"can!"

"what?"

Qin Yu's agreement surprised the village chief.

He was prepared to be rejected and never expected her to agree.

I said yes!

Qin Yu thought the village chief hadn't heard him clearly, and seeing his astonished, gaping expression, he answered again.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the village chief stood up happily. "Really?"

"Village chief, even if you hadn't brought this up, I was going to discuss it with you anyway!"

The village chief panicked, wondering what Qin Yu was going to say next. "What?"

"On the seventh day, go and bring out the quilt!"

Qin Yu called out to Qin Chuqi, who was playing, and asked her to bring out the blanket.

The village chief was somewhat puzzled, so he just waited quietly.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the quilt was taken out.

"Village chief, feel it!"

Qin Yu gestured for him to touch the blanket, letting him experience it first.

"What is this?" The village chief was clearly incredulous.

In the countryside, quilts are usually made from cattail fluff; I never imagined that cotton could be used to make quilts.

"I bought these seeds at a high price, so I can't just give them away for free. If anyone wants to plant them, they'll have to pay for them!"

The seeds are now in her hands, but she can't give them away for nothing.

"Of course, we can't take it for free!"

"How much do you think would be a suitable price?"

"Two jin, fifty coins!"

"This..." The village chief was a little embarrassed. The price wasn't expensive, but it wasn't cheap either.

"I know this money isn't something every household can afford, but everyone wants to plant it!"

When the village chief heard Qin Yu say this, he knew that Qin Yu had other ideas, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have a way that allows everyone to earn money and grow crops without spending any money!"

"any solution?"

"It's very simple. I provide the land and seeds, and I pay them as long as they help me plant them. They don't need to worry about not being able to sell them or that I'm not sincerely teaching them!"

"This is a good idea!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief slammed his hand on the table and agreed before Qin Yu could say anything more.

He was so happy that he tried to run back, but Qin Yu stopped him.

"The village chief can go back and ask them first. If they agree, you can come with me to clear the land in three days!"

"Opening up wasteland?"

The village chief was surprised; why did they have to clear land up there?

"I picked all the seeds as the seller instructed. More seeds mean more land needed. Sorry, village chief, I forgot to tell you, I bought the village entrance and the hilltop!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, the village chief was once again utterly shocked.

“I don’t mean to drive everyone away. I want everyone to make money, so you can talk to them about whether to sell seeds or just take money and do the service!”

The village chief never expected that she would buy up the entire village entrance.

Hearing her say that, I felt relieved.

As long as they aren't driven away, what could they possibly want?

Qin Yu wasn't worried about the village chief telling anyone.

Unless he doesn't want to be the village chief anymore.

"Lu Chen's wife, tomorrow I'll gather everyone in the village and ask for their opinions. What do you think?"

Now I understand that I really have no choice but to depend on her mood.

He could only proceed cautiously, and only after she agreed did he leave the Jingcao Courtyard.

The next day in the afternoon.

Qin Yu went to the village chief's house at the village chief's invitation.

Upon seeing Qin Yu, everyone immediately asked him questions.

"Lu Chen's wife, is what you're saying true? You're really going to give us money to plant it?"

"Sister-in-law Lu, I heard you also handle receiving goods, is that true?"

"Yes, is it true?"

"If it were true, I would be so sure. I just can't believe it."

"Paying you money to grow it? That's a fool's errand. Is there really such a thing as a free lunch?"

The villagers gathered together, all expressing skepticism about what they had heard yesterday.

They didn't believe such a thing would happen to them.

"Everyone, please be quiet! Let's hear what Lu Chen's wife has to say!"

The village chief slammed his hand on the table, and everyone fell silent, watching Qin Yu intently.

"It's true. I'll provide the land and teach you how to plant it. I'll pay you after the harvest and buy back what you've grown!"

Qin Yu was about to tell everyone what he planned to do.

It's simply impossible to get each family to give up two acres of fertile land to grow cotton.

We don't have the money to ask them to buy more.

If you buy seeds yourself, you'll only end up with a small amount; if you don't know how to grow them, it's useless.

It was impossible for her to grow it all by herself; the best way was for the whole village to participate.

“I discussed with the village chief and we found there is a large area of ​​wasteland at the foot of West Mountain. I have also bought a lot of land myself. You just need to cultivate it!”

After Qin Yu finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

It's actually true, which means it's making money for them.

How could I not be happy? How could I possibly disagree?

"However, let me make this clear: you'll only get paid if there's a successful harvest. If the seeds die and there's no harvest, you might even have to pay for the seeds!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, Lin Erniu stepped forward first.

"Don't worry, as long as you teach us, we'll plant them properly!"

The Lin couple also stood up, pulled their son down to sit, and kept saying, "Don't worry!"

"Since no one has any objections, let's wait for the time to distribute the seeds!"

After the harvest, the fields are naturally irrigated, fertilized, and dried in preparation for planting wheat.

Now, naturally, we can begin the work of preparing the land.
