King Jin felt that he had underestimated his opponent in losing this game.

So he smiled and said: "Let's play another game."

Shi Qingluo didn't refuse, "Okay."

In this round, Shi Qingluo won again.

King Jin met his opponent in chess, and couldn't help but drag Shi Qing into losing several games of chess.

Except for one game, which was a draw, he lost all the others.

At the critical moment, Qing's style was inconsistent, with different changes in each round, making him even more inscrutable to her.

Shi Qingluo also gave him a sense of mystery, which made him want to dig things out.

King Jin wanted to continue, but Shi Qingluo refused.

She calculated that she would have enough time to enter Prince Jin's Mansion to make people outside misunderstand, so there was no need to waste any more time.

Yes, King Jin initially proposed another game, and Shi Qingluo had an idea.

Northern Xinjiang is King Jin's territory. If they want to achieve relatively stable reform and development in Heyang County, they must create an illusion for King Jin's people. Their husband and wife are highly valued by King Jin, and they may have been used by King Jin.

.

Therefore, when working in Heyang County from now on, not many people will take the initiative to take advantage of or get stuck without having a foresight.

When King Jin uses them, they can naturally use them back.

Hearing Shi Qingluo's refusal, King Jin was still a little confused, "Did you learn this chess skill from your master?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "I learned some from my master, but more from my husband."

Her eyes were filled with brilliance, "My husband-in-law is very good at chess."

This is really true, her little husband's chess skills can beat her grandpa and grandpa in modern times, and he can win first place even if he participates in competitions.

King Jin smiled and said, "If I have a chance another day, I will play a few games with your husband."

Liang Mingyu was a little more curious about Xiao Hanzheng. What charm did this man have that made Shi Qingluo like him so much?

But the more this happens, the more he wants to pry into the corner.

The reason why he likes married women is not only that such women are more charming and mature, but also that he will have a sense of accomplishment after successfully breaking into a corner.

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Okay!"

She was the first to ask: "Your Majesty, you came to see me today. Have you sorted out the things I want?"

King Jin raised his hand to the person standing behind him.

The man immediately took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to him.

"This is the situation in northern Xinjiang you want. Take a closer look and see if there are any good ideas that can benefit the people."

When he showed it to Shi Qingluo, he looked like he was thinking about the people.

Shi Qingluo took it and looked through it casually, and found that it was quite detailed.

She put the booklet away, "Okay, I'll take it back and take a closer look. It should trigger a lot of inspiration."

King Jin smiled and said, "Then you can stay in Beicheng for a few more days."

"Otherwise, if you suddenly come up with an idea, it would be more time-consuming to have someone send it to you after you return to Heyang County. Writing a letter or having someone deliver the letter may not be expressed clearly."

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll stay for another two days."

Northern Xinjiang is too poor, and she wants to do her best to help change things.

In recent years, as long as King Jin did not rebel and be executed by the imperial court, no matter what plan he launched in northern Xinjiang, the imperial court would not be able to do it as smoothly as Prince Jin's Mansion.

The emperor probably also wanted to use King Jin's help to develop Northern Xinjiang and finally pick the fruit.

King Jin's smile deepened, "On behalf of the people of Northern Xinjiang, I would like to thank Madam Shi."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your words are serious!"

Then she said goodbye, and King Jin ordered someone to send her back.

After Shi Qing returned to the Deputy Governor's Mansion, he did not go out again, but carefully studied the different situations in various regions of Northern Xinjiang.

Then I discovered two relatively good ways to develop Northern Xinjiang.

She stayed in the yard for two days without going out, which made Xiao Yuanshi even more curious.

I heard the maid in the yard came to report that she had been in the room and didn't come out very often. What was she doing?

Judging from Shi Qingluo's character in the past, he was not one to sit still.

Shi Qingluo had someone deliver the message to Concubine Hua.

The carriage from Prince Jin's Mansion picked her up that day.

I went to Jinwang Mansion and it was still the same place.

But this time King Jin did not place a chess set, only an ice basin and some fresh fruits.

Moreover, the concubine Hua is not here either. Besides Liang Mingyu, there is also a handsome young man in his twenties beside Prince Jin.

Shi Qingluo said to him and Liang Mingyu, "I have met the prince, the prince!"

King Jin smiled and said: "Sit down!"

He asked again: "What do you have in mind?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "I have two ideas now."

She suddenly asked: "What do you think of cotton, Your Majesty?"

King Jin was stunned, "Cotton?"

He usually wears silk and satin, and has never worn anything made of cotton.

Then he looked at the young man and asked, "Does Ziqin know anything about cotton?"

This is the person in his house who is best at business, so he called him over this time.

Xu Ziqin nodded and said: "Yes, it is the cloth woven from a kind of white folded flower in northern Xinjiang."

"The price is much more expensive than linen and cheaper than silk and satin. It is quite comfortable to wear."

"However, the output of white folded flowers is very small, so the annual output of cotton cloth is not much."

"In addition, rich people prefer silk and satin, and poor people mainly wear linen, so the sales of this kind of cotton are very average."

He personally likes to wear cotton underwear, which feels more breathable and comfortable, so he understands it.

He looked at Shi Qingluo and asked, "Mrs. Shi, don't you want to ask the prince to produce cotton cloth to sell?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Yes, Northern Xinjiang is particularly suitable for growing white flowers. The cotton is highly breathable and comfortable to wear. As long as the price drops, I believe the middle and lower class people will like to buy it."

Today's linen is relatively rough and has good air permeability, but the rough linen will burn and hurt when rubbed against the body's flesh.

Unlike the linen fiber clothes and trousers of later generations, not only is it not rough and abrasive to the skin, it is also very comfortable to wear.

What farmers buy to make clothes is mostly this kind of burlap, because it is cheap after all.

Xu Ziqin asked: "But the key is how can the price be reduced?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "Plant a large area, adopt correct planting methods, and make machines specifically for spinning cotton cloth."

"As the quantity and yield of planting increases, and we can quickly and efficiently spin it into cloth, the cost will naturally go down, and the price will also follow."

"I learned that the white folded flowers are planted here without topping, so the yield is not high, and the income from the planting is not very good, which is why there are few people planting it."

"I know a topping method that can increase cotton yield."

"In addition, after picking the white flowers, there are still cotton seeds inside. It takes a lot of time and energy to take them out, which is quite troublesome."

"So I also know a machine specially designed to remove cotton seeds. It will be faster and better to remove cotton seeds, and it can also reduce costs."
