Chapter 50 The Heart(1/2)
Since martial arts training is required, the plan to expand the wall can only be postponed.
The current cement production is insufficient anyway.
Every village is busy renovating streets and building canals.
However, the original fence of the Shen family compound was widened and heightened.
It can be done at the same time.
Let Liang Zizhong lead a group of strong young men to do it.
Half a day to train, half a day to work.
Isn’t it safe for everyone to get paid?
Since then, the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling can be heard every day in the Shen family's backyard.
Poor family leader Shen Lin.
He was naked from the waist up and wearing shorts, and was beaten by the red lady and ran all over the yard.
The most annoying thing is.
My little daughter-in-law was still clapping her hands and cheering.
Liu Chu'er, you've learned too much.
Soak in the tub at night.
Liu Chuer used loofah pulp, touching Shen Lin's skin every time.
He couldn't help but gasp.
"hiss……"
"Girl, you are not good!"
"Don't you feel sad when my husband was beaten like this?"
Liu Chuer said with a smile.
"Of course it hurts!"
"But, doesn't it say so in the book?"
"When Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin..."
Come on.
You have brought out everything the sage said.
But you didn't say that you have to beat your husband to the point of being bruised, right?
I know this.
Red Lady, Chen Wushuang.
That dead girl is definitely seeking revenge.
At this time, I didn't know that she was hiding in that room, snickering.
However, the pain is indeed unbearable.
But the bones of the body are also becoming stronger day by day.
Speed, agility, reaction, even punching, swinging a knife...
It’s almost an all-round improvement.
There was no other way, Shen Lin was willing to spend money.
Eat well, eat well, and take a bath with medicinal soup.
How could he treat himself badly?
This body is only twenty years old, maybe it can really develop some ability to protect itself.
Spinning and weaving is very profitable.
Liu Chuer's workshop added five more hundred-spindle looms.
But within a few days, the third uncle who went out to buy something came back worried and reported.
"Brother Lin, the price of seed cotton in Shenjiaji has increased."
"It costs four coppers a pound!"
Don't blame Shen Zhonghe for being worried.
The best seed cotton needs more than two kilograms to produce one kilogram of lint.
In this era, cottonseed oil is also considered edible oil.
The price is not low yet.
Shen Lin can press oil at home, which can be regarded as comprehensive utilization.
A pound of seed cotton costs one copper coin more.
It still has an impact on overall profits.
In terms of weaving alone, one piece of cloth can require thirty kilograms of lint.
In other words, the original gross profit of one hundred and fifty copper coins.
Now, it suddenly dropped to one hundred and two.
This drop is very scary.
The impact on workshop processing is huge.
Ordinary people actually don't care.
As for hand-woven cloth, a piece of cloth can make the whole family wear new clothes.
The cost is only 30 yuan more, so I can bear with it and pass it by.
Shen Lin frowned and said.
"Is there an investigation? What's going on?"
"Isn't the price of seed cotton always stable?"
Since Shen Zhonghe came back to talk, of course he also ran across the county seat.
"Oh, our entire stable has gone up quietly."
"Our utilization rate of seed cotton is high, which is actually acceptable!"
"But I feel strange, could it be? Someone is controlling it behind the scenes?"
"If the price rises by a few more copper coins, this weaving mill will have to stop working."
It doesn't need to go up too much.
The price of seed cotton is seven copper coins per pound.
We can stop working.
It's a fool's errand to continue the work.
Shen Lin said with a dark face.
"I went to several other counties and made big purchases. I still don't believe it."
"Whose black hand is so long?"
"Bring all your money with you. By the way, I will give Master Qi another batch of farm tools."
"Increasing the proportion of refined iron farm tools means we urgently need money to hoard cotton."
Damn, it's so sudden.
Fortunately, there was no effort to expand the wall.
We need to enclose the dozens of acres of land in Donghetan.
How can Shen Lin's money be enough?
However, this incident also sounded a wake-up call for Shen Lin.
It’s not just about storing food!
The cash on hand is low.
It's really not enough to cope with sudden changes.
Surprising.
Early the next morning, the third master of the Shen family came.
Shen Zhongru came to the door.
The old guy smiled like an old fox.
