Chapter 175 Unprecedented Cotton Silk Cloth

Chapter 175 Unprecedented Cotton Silk Cloth
Last time, Wang Yongjun left Xiao Yingchun in London in order to send Dai Enning away. Although He Liangcong didn't say anything, he had drawn a conclusion about Wang Yongjun in his heart.

Wang Yongjun is soft-hearted, loyal, and doesn't know how to refuse his friends' requests.

This kind of personality is fine in a small county, after all, small counties value human relationships and social etiquette, but it is not acceptable in a place like the capital.

Boguzhai operates as a company, so it is better to employ professionals.

Xiao Yingchun naturally agreed: "I'll listen to you."

When He Cong saw Xiao Yingchun's reply, he immediately called again and explained for a long time.

After both sides agreed, Xiao Yingchun washed up and went to sleep peacefully.

At around five o'clock the next morning, Xiao Yingchun was awakened by the alarm clock. When she went downstairs, she found that Fu Chenan was already waiting in the reception room on the second floor.

"Let's go." Fu Chenan still pulled Xiao Yingchun over.

After Xiao Yingchun dressed again, Fu Chenan helped her into a carriage: "I'll take you to see the cattle farm."

The cattle farm was not far away. A river ran through a valley, and the Fu family army simply turned the valley into a cattle farm.

When Xiao Yingchun arrived, Niu Gensheng was mumbling something to the old cow that had been dissected, and several young people nearby were listening attentively.

When Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun walked over, Niu Gensheng was surprised and hurriedly 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 started talking about the situation while eating breakfast.

It turns out that the development of artificial bezoar has not been smooth. Many cows became infected after being implanted with artificial bezoar "seeds".

Seeing the cow getting weaker day by day, I had no choice but to kill it...

Fortunately, in order not to affect the subsequent reproduction, Niu Gensheng used old bulls that were more than ten years old in the experiment.

If you succeed, you will have bezoar, which you can make into beef jerky when the cow dies, so it won’t be wasted.

Xiao Yingchun didn't know much about the technical aspects, so he asked Dr. Lao Niu what the biggest problem was.
Niu Gensheng said that the biggest problem is to prevent the wound from festering.

When it comes to this, Xiao Yingchun asked about the disinfection during implantation and the subsequent anti-inflammatory treatment for the cattle.

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, Madam Xiao, take your time eating. I will go discuss it with them first..."

He actually dropped the bowl and Fu Chenan and ran away!

Xiao Yingchun looked at the old man's back in surprise: "He is quite fond of studying..."

Fu Chenan passed a piece of pancake to Xiao Yingchun: "Eat first, don't worry about him."

As the two men finished eating and came out of the tent, several men in coarse clothes rushed over and started shouting from a distance.

"General! General! We want to go to war, we don't want to raise cattle..."

Xiao Yingchun looked confused. She looked at those people and then at Fu Chenan.

Fu Chenan took a step forward with a sullen face, vaguely protecting Xiao Yingchun behind him.

Several men rushed over, looking extremely anxious. The leader hurriedly said, "General, we were wrong!"

"We shouldn't have thought about going back. If we had known that you had taken our family 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 outside Beijing.

They fought against the Tatar cavalry all the way, and after reaching Taizhou, they were tried to stay by Fu Chenan, but they insisted on going back.

Who would have thought that he would be caught and sent to a cattle farm before he had walked twenty miles.

These days they deal with cow dung, old cows, dead cows and beef jerky all day long, and their prospects are bleak.

When they heard that the family had been settled in, they almost went crazy!
They wanted to go to war, not feed cattle.

Seeing Fu Chenan coming over, they rushed over immediately. The leading general felt wronged: "I have a family to support. If I feed cattle all year round, how can I support my family?"

"I want to go to the battlefield, kill the enemy and make merit, earn a fortune for my wife and children, and fight for a future."

Fu Chenan looked at the eager soldiers and said, "It's not impossible for you to return to the Fu Family Army, but I have a question for you. You need to think carefully before answering me."

"If in the future, you need to lead your troops back to the capital, facing the emperor and the troops stationed in the capital, will you retreat? Will you feel guilty? Will you waver?"

Several soldiers looked at each other and soon began to express their opinions: "We must move forward bravely!"

"We strictly follow orders!"

"We will never show mercy!"

Fu Chenan snorted coldly: "What if the emperor grants you the merit of following the emperor? What if he grants you a high position and generous salary?"

"What if your family and friends say you are plotting rebellion and advise you to 'turn from darkness to light'?"

The expressions of several soldiers changed again: If they could avoid rebellion, they definitely did not want to rebel.

The idea of ​​"divine right of kings" has been deeply rooted in people's minds for many years, and it is not easy to change it.

This is the reason why the emperor imposed heavy taxes and the people complained bitterly, but they would rather hang themselves than rebel.

When Fu Chenan saw their hesitation, he knew that these people did not want to follow the Fu family army in their hearts, they just did not want to raise cattle.

They don't want to join the rebellion, but they want high positions and generous salaries. These people are too greedy.

Fu Chenan took Xiao Yingchun away.

After returning to Yongzhou City, Xiao Yingchun took out two rolls of cotton silk cloth.

Fu Zhonghai didn't know much about fabrics, but he immediately called the owner of the largest fabric shop in the city, "Hutchison Fabric Shop", over.

He Shouwen, the owner of Heji Cloth Shop, entered the Marshal's Mansion trembling with fear.

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 left his last words before leaving, but when he entered, he found that he was only asked to look at the fabric.

Looking at the cool and smooth cloth, its intricate patterns, fine textures, rich colors, and two-meter width... He Shouwen could not hide his shock.

"This kind of fabric is something that ordinary people have never seen or heard of."

"What do the marshal and the general want to ask me?"

Fu Zhonghai looked kind and asked, "If you were selling this cloth, how much would you sell it for per foot?"

When asked a professional question, He Shouwen calmed down and said, "This fabric feels cold to the touch, and is as smooth as ice silk."

"And the pattern and width are unprecedented... I guess it's not cheap."

"One foot of cloth should be able to sell for two hundred coins..."

Fu Zhonghai had just asked Xiao Yingchun about the price, and he knew very well that the profit here was huge.

Besides, cloth is what ordinary people use every day. As long as the quantity is large, it is easy to make a fortune...

Fu Zhonghai nodded, smiling more gently: "If I have a way to get such goods, can you help me sell them?"

He Shouwen's eyes widened: "Marshal, you mean... let the common people help sell this kind of cloth?"

Seeing Fu Zhonghai nod, He Shouwen didn't know what he was thinking about. He asked with a pale face, "How much do you want me to sell it for per foot?"

Fu Zhonghai waved his hand: "How much you charge per foot is your business. I just ask you, I will supply you with goods, how much will you charge per foot?"

He Shouwen wiped his sweat and knelt down: "Marshal, you have the final say. Whatever you say... is what it is!"

Seeing that he was almost frightened to the point of peeing, Fu Zhonghai suddenly realized: He Shouwen, did he think he could get money from him? !
Do I need to find a reason if I want to get his money?
With a spear pointed at him, he still dared not give it to him? !
