Xuchang city
"Prime Minister, now our acquisition in Korea has achieved remarkable results!"
"Using our merchant network, we have harvested a lot of cotton!"
"Presumably it won't take too long, we will definitely be able to break Jiang Chen's monopoly!"
In Cao Cao's study, Xun Yu reported recent results to Cao Cao.
This made Cao Cao nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
In order to bring the Xun family into trouble, Cao Cao handed over this matter to Xun Yu.
If Xun Yu wants to handle this matter well, he must rely on the strength of his family. In order not to offend Cao Cao, the Xun family must of course cooperate.
"So good!"
"With Wen Ruo's help, I am even more powerful!"
"But, has the cotton weaving process been successfully studied?"
Cao Cao nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
It seems that the Xun family has not given up on him, Cao Cao. As long as the Xun family can continue to stand by his side, Cao Cao feels that his confidence will be stronger.
"Return to the Prime Minister, the weaving process has already made some progress!"
"It's just that removing the seeds of this cotton is very cumbersome. If the seeds are removed manually, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost of the cotton!"
"The craftsmen have been researching recently, but they haven't achieved much effect!"
The process of deseeding cotton may not seem complicated, but that does not mean that it can be successfully developed through research and development.
Even in the 80s, this technology was relatively top-notch in the country. It has been unable to break through and can only be de-seeded manually.
"No matter what, you must overcome it!"
"Even if we use artificial seed removal, we still have to do it!"
"After all, the profit margin of this cotton cloth is several times larger than those of ordinary linen cloth, even dozens of times!"
"I feel that I can't let Jiang Chen choke me, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable all over!"
"We must break their monopoly!"
Cao Cao said firmly.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Xun Yu nodded, he knew that Cao Cao had made up his mind, and he definitely couldn't persuade him.
I can only do my best and assist Cao Cao to complete it as much as possible.
"Prime Minister, there is another matter that is quite difficult!"
"Although our people have already purchased some cotton, in Korea, our foundation is relatively shallow!"
"Those government officials chose to cooperate with us are relatively few!"
"Just this little bit of purchased cotton may not be able to meet our needs!"
Xun Yu reported to Cao Cao Hui.
This is the biggest problem he has encountered recently.
"Is there any way to get the cotton growing technology?"
"Isn't it suitable for large-scale planting in our north?"
Cao Cao thought for a while, then looked at Jia Xu and the others.
"My lord, it is not difficult to obtain technology!"
"But if we grow cotton, there will definitely be a food shortage!"
"Moreover, environmental problems may lead to low yields, and the quality of cotton is not as good as that planted by Jiang Chen!"
"These problems, if not overcome, will directly damage our reputation!"
Cheng Yu thought for a while, and reported the problems he encountered to Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao heard this, he also felt that it was very reasonable, and then said to several people:
"We can try planting in Liaodong first!"
"After all, it borders Korea, so the climate conditions must be similar!"
"In this way, the cotton grown will definitely meet the corresponding requirements!"
"What do you think?"
Cao Cao put forward his own suggestion.
"Prime Minister, this is a wonderful plan!"
"If we only plant it in Liaodong, it will not affect the demand for food!"
"It also allows us to produce a lot of cotton, so that our local market will not be affected by Jiang Chen, and we can use the price advantage to repel Jiang Chen!"
Xun Yu nodded, thinking that this point of view was very good.
Their family has been in business for many years, and they understand some market economy concepts more clearly than others.
In the past, there was no such concept, and everyone crossed the river by feeling.
But it's different now, because of Jiang Chen's appearance, those businessmen are becoming more and more familiar with Jiang Chen's business thinking.
Under Jiang Chen's influence, they gradually began to delve into the business model, hoping to better compete head-on with Jiang Chen.
A major economic war is very important for a country.
If the economy of this country collapses, it is basically equivalent to losing more than 50.00%. Without economic support, where will the money come from to fight wars and train soldiers?
In the past, Cao Cao, if he hadn't thought of making money by robbing tombs, he would not have supported himself to dominate the world.
Because they were relatively poor in the north, they had always been suppressed to death by the combination of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.
Economically, there is no improvement.
If it weren't for Cao Cao's harsh words and his direct nationalization of the land in the north so that the people could have fields to farm, he might have collapsed long ago.
"If that's the case, then you can try it!"
"It's just that winter is coming soon, and it's snowing in Liaodong!"
"Now it's not suitable for planting any crops. It seems that our plan will be implemented next year!"
Jia Xu said with some regret.
"This matter can only be brought to an end first!"
"After all, cotton matters should not be rushed!"
"So, is there a way to solve the salt problem?"
"This is related to people's livelihood. Ever since we got Jiang Chen's salt, our country's salt has completely bid farewell to those nobles' dining tables!"
"Truth believes that solving this problem first is the most important thing!"
Although the unit price of salt is not particularly expensive, it is a hard consumable that everyone must use every day. Without salt, it will have an impact on human physical development.
Only by eating more salt can you work more vigorously. Many manual workers like foods that are heavy in salt.
It is because the food with heavy salt can supplement their physical energy consumption.
Working outside every day will evaporate a lot of sweat, and the salt in the body will also be excreted through the pores. Only salt can replenish them.
If there is no salt, people will become thin and sickly!
Cao Cao was jealous when he saw the salt made by Jiang Chen.
"this."
Cao Cao's words silenced all the courtiers present.
"Prime Minister, according to our speculation, Jiang Chen uses sea salt to produce table salt!"
"He rented a lot of places from us, all by the sea."
"Many of our caravans haul salt from areas close to the sea!"
"Therefore, if you want to crack the secret of Jiang Chen's salt, you must start from those places!"
