Super Prestige System

Chapter 506 Promotion of Cotton Planting
In a certain farm outside Chaoge City, a woman was pulling another woman to talk; "His second aunt, why are your clothes so beautiful? What are they made of?"

The second aunt replied with a blushing face, "My boss bought this from Chaoge's supermarket. I heard it's called cotton cloth. It's soft and comfortable!"

The woman looked envious and asked: "Such beautiful fabrics must be very expensive, right? You are really rich as the head of the family!"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. The fabric for making a piece of clothing is only [-] Wen, which is about the same as the price of linen. If you are in charge, I will buy you a piece!"

The woman looked surprised: "It's only twenty Wen, it's really not expensive!" Speaking of this, I don't know what to think of: "It's difficult to eat at home, even if it's twenty Wen, I don't have such spare money at home!"

"That's such a pity!" The second aunt suddenly thought of something, and continued: "I heard that cotton cloth is woven from cotton, and the supermarket is promoting the cultivation of cotton. If your family grows cotton, you can spin it by yourself. You don’t have to buy it!”

"Tell me quickly..."

……

Zhou Ding no longer pays attention to Jiang Ziya, and has nothing to do, so he puts his energy on the promotion scale.In order to promote the scale smoothly, Zhou Ding added a commodity to his supermarket: cotton cloth.

In this era, except for high-ranking officials and nobles who can wear silk, ordinary people wear linen. The appearance of cotton cloth quickly swept the whole world.

With the promotion of cotton cloth, the unification of scales has achieved initial results. At least, the people who have bought cloth in supermarkets have initially recognized the scales set by Zhou Ding, and some of them have begun to use Zhou Ding's scales.

In view of the fact that there were still many people in Yin Shang who could not afford cotton cloth, Zhou Ding took out two more things: cotton seeds, and drawings of wooden looms.

In order to promote cotton, Zhou Ding also ordered supermarkets in various places to make a guarantee:

The supermarket guarantees that the cotton yield per mu will not be less than [-] catties.

The supermarket guarantees that cotton will be purchased at a price of ten cents per catty.

The supermarket promises: the supermarket will teach the common people who grow cotton to make looms and weave cotton cloth.

You must know that the grain output in this era is very low, and most places can only plant one season. The yield per mu in this season is two to three hundred catties. According to the price of formic acid at two cents per catty, the harvest per mu is only about five hundred cents. .

Zhou Ding thought: the supermarket guarantees the yield of [-] catties per mu, and also guarantees the purchase price of [-] Wen per catty. In this way, there will be at least [-] Wen per mu of land. This kind of treatment should attract many people.

The fact is: very few people responded.

How did that happen?

After careful calculation, Zhou Ding found the reason, five words: people depend on food!
The people of this period were not easy to accept new things. What's more, the food produced by the land was the guarantee for the people's survival. They would not rashly experiment with the land.

In order to dispel concerns, the supermarket said: Anyone who is worried about cotton production can sign a production contract with the supermarket.

The form of the production contract is: the supermarket provides cotton seeds to the people free of charge, the harvest from the land belongs to the supermarket, and the supermarket pays the people food according to the output in a good year.

Although the people in this period were very simple, in order for the people to plant with heart, the supermarket still introduced reward and punishment measures:
The top [-]% of the population with the highest yields can obtain [-]% of the food.

People with average yields can get [-]% of the grain.

The common people whose output is less than two-thirds of the average can only get two-thirds of the grain, and so on.

As soon as the news came out, the people on the sidelines couldn't sit still anymore, they ran to the supermarket one after another and signed a production contract with the supermarket.

Some friends asked: Only [-]% of the people can get [-]% of the grain, and the rest of the people can only get [-]%. Since the harvest is as much as the grain, how can they choose to contract production?
There are two reasons:

First, seeds are needed to grow food by oneself, and the seeds can be saved by helping supermarkets grow cotton, which is a benefit that can be seen at a glance.

Second, the output of supermarket bags is the output of a good year.

In this era of relying on the sky for food, if the weather is good for five years within ten years, it is considered a high incense.

Once you sign a contract with the supermarket, as long as you are not lazy, you can get [-]% of the grain in a good harvest, so why not do it?
Will the supermarket default?

With such a big property here, how can they rely on our little money?
The most important thing: we grow cotton, if the supermarket doesn’t give us food, we won’t give him cotton, so why worry?
Isn't anyone worried that supermarkets can't afford so much food?

No!

For ordinary people, the supermarket has sold grain at low prices for several consecutive years, which has proved its strength. If there is grain, there must be grain.

For the aristocrats, the food at home is so much that it is about to go moldy, even if there is no new food for three to five years, they don't have to worry about starvation.

The people have no food to eat?

They wished that the people would have no food to eat. In this case, they could exchange the moldy grain for the people's land!

……

Three months later, at least half of the people in the world chose to grow cotton, and the promotion of cotton planting was a complete success.

It takes several months for cotton to be harvested, and Zhou Ding has nothing to do.

At this moment, the mana fluctuations surging from Songjiazhuang in the south of the city attracted Zhou Ding's attention.

Zhou Ding's consciousness swept away, and Jiang Ziya was fighting five little ghosts.

It was just to subdue a few little ghosts, but Jiang Ziya made a violent wind, evil flames soared, smoke surrounded the place, black mist, and where the fire started, there were thousands of red flames.

At first, Zhou Ding thought that Jiang Ziya was not good at suppressing the five ghosts, but when he took a closer look, he realized that he was wrong.

It's not that Jiang Ziya's ability is not good, but that Jiang Ziya, who lacks emotional intelligence, has now learned to act!

Why does Jiang Ziya act, and who is he acting for?

With a move of consciousness, Zhou Ding found Song Yiren who was watching from a distance.

Seeing Song Yiren, Zhou Ding understood that Jiang Ziya's scene was just for Song Yiren.

It's really true: "I haven't seen you for three days, but I've seen you with admiration." After three months of seeing each other, Jiang Ziya has undergone such a big change.

When he first came to Chaoge, Jiang Ziya was full of negative emotions such as confusion and decadence, as if he was waiting to die, so Zhou Ding was very disappointed in him.

But at this moment, Jiang Ziya's eyes became much more agile, and he even learned to act.

Why did Jiang Ziya change so much?

Zhou Ding didn't pay attention to Jiang Ziya during this time, and could only recall the plot in the book:
After selling the noodles, Jiang Ziya opened a restaurant for a few days first, but he didn't sell the food if it tasted bad, so he paid for it!

After the restaurant, Jiang Ziya went to Chaoge to sell cattle and sheep, but was seized by the city guard and fined, and it was another compensation!

It's still doing nothing, and there's nothing special about it?
Zhou Ding couldn't figure out why, and decided to continue watching the show:
