Chapter 461 General Zheng has returned to Beijing!

"Ran Ran, why did you buy so many cocoons?"

Zheng Huiniang took a bag of silkworm cocoons from her daughter and asked.

She knew that her daughter definitely did not buy so many cocoons just to inquire about the price. To inquire about the price, she did not necessarily have to sell the cocoons in person.

It couldn't be that he was reselling these two bags of silkworm cocoons to make money, and Ran Ran wouldn't bother doing such a trivial thing.

Sure enough, I heard my daughter tell me about Huang Laogen's situation.

"Oh, he is also a poor man! That Wu Tongpan is really nothing! It's a good thing that we didn't settle down in Luoyang Mansion at that time, otherwise, I'm afraid our life would not be easy now."

Zheng Huiniang couldn't help but feel scared when she recalled that the villagers were deceived by the city gate guards and almost stayed in Luoyang Mansion.

"Thankfully, Ran Ran discovered the corruption behind the superficial prosperity of Luoyang Fucheng. Otherwise, our lives would be similar to that of Huang Laogen, alas!"

Mrs. Qiao also sighed.

Qiao Ran comforted the two of them: "Grandma, mother, you don't have to worry. If we really stayed in Luoyang Mansion at that time, I wouldn't let everyone suffer."

If she really stayed and settled in Luoyang Mansion, and no one would investigate the corruption of those officials, she would go to those officials' houses from time to time to "rob the rich and give to the poor" and use the property collected by those officials to help the poor people.

Now that Mr. Mo has gone to bring down those corrupt officials and restore peace to all the people in Luoyang Mansion, she is naturally relieved.

Mrs. Qiao and Zheng Huiniang both know their own Ranran's abilities, so they naturally believe that with her here, their family will live a good life.

"Ran Ran, are these silkworm cocoons really going to be sold in the city?"

These two bags of silkworm cocoons weighed at least thirty or forty pounds and could be sold for several hundred pennies in the city.

Qiao Ran shook her head: "These two bags of silkworm cocoons, leave twenty for breeding, and keep the others for everyone to practice. I want the women in the village to learn how to reel, spin, and weave, so that we can raise more silkworms in the future." I want to open a workshop, buy everyone’s silkworm cocoons, and spin and weave cloth myself to sell.”

"What? Let's open a weaving workshop at home?"

Zheng Huiniang and Mrs. Qiao both exclaimed in surprise, and Lin Guizhen also looked at her eldest niece in surprise.

Although Ran Ran said she wanted to bring everyone together to make money, everyone thought they were just farming and hunting in Devil's Valley. At most, they could grow some sugar cane to squeeze sugar, tan leather, or burn smokeless charcoal to sell for money.

But he didn't expect that Ran Ran would open a workshop.

When a workshop is opened, it involves business issues, which is of an industrial and commercial nature.

They all thought that in the future, the family would at most sell some agricultural products and provide for a few children to go to school, and those who were capable would be admitted to the scholar examination, or even become officials. At most, they would be upgraded from a farmer's family to an official family, but they never thought that they would become workers or merchants.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, it can be seen that workers and merchants are at a lower level than farmers.

Although they did not mean to discriminate against workers and businessmen, they never thought that honest farmers like them would become calculating businessmen.

Qiao Ran saw her grandma and mother's surprised looks and said with a smile:

"I just think that our village has this ten-mile mountainous area, and it would be a pity not to make good use of it. In addition to planting fruit trees, corn, yams, etc., we can also plant more mulberry trees to raise silkworms. Silk is very good for making clothes. Materials, silk clothes made of silk, etc. are not very expensive. Only the rich and powerful can afford them. Since we are here in the suburbs of the capital and have such good resources, of course we must make good use of them and make more money in the city. Those rich people’s money.”

Everyone laughed when they heard Qiao Ran's words about making money from rich people of course.

"Well, Ran Ran still has an idea. Since you have already made a plan, our whole family will naturally support you. We will do what you say."

Mrs. Qiao nodded lovingly, and Zheng Huiniang and Lin Guizhen naturally expressed their support.

After a while, everyone working in the valley came back. Seeing that Qiao Ran had bought so many cocoons, and after hearing her plan, everyone rushed to express their support.

"Then after I finish planting the rice seedlings for everyone in a few days, I will go up the mountain to plant mulberry trees!"

"Second brother, I'm going too! Third brother will also take a bath in two days, right? Let him go too! If we plant more mulberry trees, we can raise more silkworms."

"Second uncle, third uncle, I'll go too!"

"Dad, third uncle, I want to go too!"

"Aren't you going to school in two days?"

"Let's go after school!"

Qiao Ran smiled when she saw how energetic everyone was.

Planting mulberries, raising silkworms, spinning threads, weaving cloth, and making clothes are all direct raw materials, production, and sales!

She just wants to build a complete production line so that she can be more assured of her own raw materials. She can also make more money by producing the cloth or even cutting it into clothes.

Although she is not a fashion designer, she needed to have multiple identities when going on missions in her previous life, so she still needs to master some basic pretending skills.

Moreover, her memory and painting skills are already good. Even if she doesn’t know how to innovate, if she draws some beautiful clothing styles and patterns from her past life that are suitable for the current dynasty and lets tailors and embroiderers copy them, are she still afraid that there will be no sales?

Compared with other time-traveling heroines who make pig sewers, stew pig heads, and cool skin, from setting up a street stall to saving money to open a shop, slowly accumulating capital step by step to become bigger and stronger, and surrounding the city from the countryside, Qiao Ran is still more willing to stay in He quietly made a fortune in Devil's Valley, and then retired leisurely in Devil's Valley.

When the workshops are opened, the old people and women in the village will have money-making skills such as spinning and weaving. Men can also learn to pick mulberry leaves, raise silkworms, reel silk and other tasks that do not need to be too delicate. Let people in the village have other ways to make money besides farming and get rich faster.

Then she will go to the city to open a cloth shop or a clothing store, and train a few villagers with more lively minds to go to the city to manage the shop for her. Of course, there will also be someone at home to keep an eye on it.

As for her, she only needs to be the hands-off shopkeeper and only decide on some major matters.

Her goal in this life is to lead the whole village to earn money and live a good life without tiring herself. Of course, she and her family can also live a prosperous and happy life.

If you want to make salted fish, now is not the time.

When everything gets on track, the lives of the people in the village get better, and the Qiao family is no longer so obtrusive, she can just lie down and be a salted fish in peace, hehe!

Qiao Ran is still happily thinking that when everyone's life gets better, she can live happily as a salted fish.

At this moment, the general's mansion was bustling with activity.

General Zheng, who was stationed in Qingzhou, returned to Beijing!

Mrs. Zheng and her daughter-in-law Zheng Lin happily welcomed the old general back at the gate of the mansion.

However, as soon as he returned to the mansion, the old general asked Butler Zheng to go to Dingbei Palace to ask for a ghost doctor.

"Why are you looking for a ghost doctor? What's wrong with you? Are you injured again? Come and see!"

Mrs. Zheng did not expect that her husband would find a ghost doctor as soon as he returned home. You must know that the ghost doctor is a famous miracle doctor in Dai Viet country, and ordinary people cannot hire him.

If he hadn't been seriously injured or had some serious illness, the old man wouldn't have gone out of his way to ask for a ghost doctor.
