Chapter 71 A Perfect Beginning
"Business?"
She nodded: "Of course, didn't I say I would find a way for them to make money?"
She sighed, "Although these people are considered unpardonable crimes, massacre cannot solve any problem. Without them, there will still be thousands of human traffickers. Only by solving their economic sources can we truly solve the problem." The problem of human trafficking.”
Of course, she doesn't think that changing one village can change all the people who buy and sell people, but at least this is a good start. Starting from them is like a ignited spark. As long as it is blown more, it can start a prairie fire sooner or later.
Chu Qingyun smiled, but felt that he could not understand her more and more.
For him, buying and selling people is a normal thing. Which of those maids and servants was not bought?So as long as it doesn't offend him, he won't care.
But Ye Qingran was different. Her way of dealing with these people was never revenge or massacre, but rather a sense of enlightenment.
But it is not just preaching, but changing their minds so that they will no longer do evil.
Compared to those in the temple, her approach seemed more practical, which made him feel brighter.
"found it."
Suddenly, Ye Qingran pointed to a house and said, "This is the business opportunity I'm looking for."
Chu Qingyun followed her direction and saw that the door of the house was open, and there was a woman sitting in the sun playing with a loom. The sound was very regular, and the silk threads were gradually woven into cloth in her hands.
Her craftsmanship was very good, and even though they were standing a little far away, they could still see an unusual luster from the cloth she weaved. I wonder if it had something to do with the silk threads.
Ye Qingran was very interested in this and went straight over and asked, "Hello, can I ask you a few questions?"
The woman stopped what she was doing and was a little confused: "Who are you? I seem to have never seen you before."
"We were passing by here and wanted to ask if it is difficult to weave cloth like yours? I kind of want to learn."
The woman's voice was gentle and her appearance was kind. She smiled and replied, "It's not difficult. Don't look at me for being so glamorous. In fact, it's just that I use silk thread well. I've only been learning for a few days!"
"You can weave such fine brocade in just a few days. I think you have talent."
The woman giggled at her praise: "If you want to learn, I can teach you, but your hands will get calluses if you do this. Seeing as your hands are so delicate, it would be a pity to do this."
"It doesn't matter, I just want to learn a craft. What if I need it in the future?"
"That's fine. Come here and I'll teach you how to make it from scratch."
Ye Qingran learns things quickly. After only a quarter of an hour, she has already learned it well, but she is not doing so well. After half an hour, she is already very proficient.
Logically speaking, weaving shouldn't be that simple. In Ye Qingran's memory, weaving was a very complicated process for ancient people, but this woman seemed to be very relaxed, and she got started quickly.
She thought about it for a while and then turned her attention to the loom.
“Where can I buy this loom?”
"There is a carpenter in the west of the town. He can do it. We all bought it from him. You can ask."
The woman showed her the way, and she hurriedly thanked her, put down an extremely gorgeous and precious piece of jewelry, and left.
The jewelry was obtained by her from the palace, but it was not of a unique style and would not be recognized by others. It could be exchanged for a lot of silver if pawned.
After Ye Qingran rushed to the carpenter's shop, he asked about the details of the loom and found out that it was specially improved by him. The previous loom was simple to make but troublesome to use.After he improved it, women in the town could all learn to weave, but it took more time to make and was larger in size.
But fortunately, he made some looms in advance and planned to sell them, and he can still make more slowly in the future.
Ye Qingran bought all the looms at once. The problem now is that the looms are too big and she can't take them back.
After discussion, the carpenter helped her disassemble the loom into several parts that could be assembled, and told her how to assemble it. Only with Chu Qingyun's help could she take away a loom.
"This is too troublesome..."
Ye Qingran sighed. If she could stuff them directly into the space, she could bring all the looms back at once.
"Take one back first and let the people in the village try it. If it works, just call someone to move it."
Chu Qingyun lifted the loom, "You go buy silk thread first, I'll wait for you at the intersection."
It was not difficult for him to carry the loom, but it was easy to bump into people when walking on the street. He had to slow down and carefully avoid the crowds and walk to the intersection.
By the time they returned to the village, it was already dark, and they would not be able to see the road clearly if it were any later.
They returned to the village with the loom, and first took it back to their residence to assemble it. After letting Jiang try it, they determined that it was suitable for most women. Then they let Ye Guodong and Ye Zhuoyu try it.
Ye Qingran never thought that weaving could only be done by women, but after they tried it, she changed her mind.
It seems that most men are not as meticulous as women, and this kind of work is really not suitable for them.
She went out and called the nearest woman. She was a little excited when she saw Ye Qingran: "You are really a fairy. I heard my man say that the seeds you planted during the day have now sprouted! It's actually true. Such a magical thing!”
Ye Qingran talked for a long time before she calmed down and started trying to use the loom.
Roughly calculating the time, it took her less than an hour to go from not knowing how to weave to being able to weave qualified cloth, which was faster than Ye Qingran.
"Okay, in that case, find some strong men to follow me to the town tomorrow and bring back the remaining looms. You will do this first from now on. The women will weave at home, and the men will go out to farm."
Ye Qingran clapped his hands and felt that it went well.
Isn’t it the most normal life in this era for men to farm and women to weave?
Early the next morning, the news that the vegetables had grown spread throughout the village. They praised Ye Qingran a lot and had no complaints about the work of moving the loom back from town. They even rushed to do it. .
After they brought the loom back, Ye Qingran also selected a few women who were good at cutting clothes. After some instruction, they were able to make more beautiful clothes.
She was very satisfied with this, because she had no intention of working in vain. While helping them make money, she also wanted to earn some price difference and make some money.
Although she is not short of money, who in this world would hate having too much money?
She had planned this very carefully, and now her plan was off to a perfect start.
