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.
"Brother Lin did a good job, your uncle is proud of you!"
Shen Lin was secretly on guard.
No matter what happens, go to the Three Treasures Hall.
The timing of the good guy's arrival was too coincidental.
"Ah haha, it's all for the care of the elders. I'm very grateful."
Shen Zhongru took a sip from the tea cup.
"Hmm, spring tea picked in the mountains, right? It's a bit astringent, but the fragrance is quite fresh."
Just tell me that you don't like our rough tea from the mountains.
Anyway, we had a good time drinking.
"Brother Lin, the cement you made is very good."
"Lushuihe Village needs to overhaul its water canals, and our master's one thousand acres of land will benefit a lot."
"No one in the master's family has to work hard. I came here today just to offset the labor with food."
This kind of thing is very common.
Large households exchanged money and food for labor.
The rich give money, the powerful give strength.
Everyone is happy, just ask the village chief Shen Zhongping.
Sure enough, Shen Zhongru's tail was quickly exposed.
"Brother Lin, our Shen family has quite a lot of fields, and the canals are in disrepair."
"Can cement be supplied to the main vein?"
"I heard it costs a penny per catty? The price is quite cheap."
Shen Lin cursed secretly.
Is that the internal price?
Takeaway? Definitely add some.
Current output?
Enough.
"Uncle San, the quality of cement is not stable yet, it is still in the experimental stage!"
"The output is small, I'm afraid there won't be enough to sell for the time being!"
Shen Zhongru said "Huh".
"That's not right. Your village has built half a street, and I just walked through it."
"It's as hard as a rock, but the quality isn't that good?"
"That's it, that's all."
"The output is not enough, wouldn't it be enough to build a few more kilns?"
"Ah, by the way, you don't have enough money to spare, do you?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you invest in shares, or you can sell technology like a water mill!"
Shen Lin wanted to curse mmp.
Isn’t the eating phase of your main channel too ugly?
The water mill has given you a big bargain.
Why, are you still addicted to eating?
"Third uncle? Is this what uncle means? Or..."
The implication of Shen Lin's words was that if Shen Zhongxiao said something.
He can still consider it.
After all, Shen Zhongxiao helped Shen Lin a lot.
The position of district chief was just a matter of his words.
Also, Yang Chengliang’s house was left to Shen Lin.
Without Shen Zhongxiao's care.
How could a shrewd businessman like Shen Zhongru give up three good houses near the river?
Just eighty taels of silver.
To him, it's just drizzle.
When Shen Zhongru heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Of course that's what I meant.
The eldest brother is the one who only reads the books of saints and dedicates himself to the affairs of the king.
Why do you have time to care about such a trivial matter?
"Brother Lin, listen to your wishes."
"Is this? There is no possibility of cooperation?"
Shen Lin smiled lightly and said, "Please show me your kindness, Third Uncle."
