However, no matter how low the price is, not many people buy it.

However, the next announcement made the people of Beiping Mansion completely excited.

The textile looms and five old women in His Royal Highness's textile shop can be rented out.

If anyone has extra cotton and wants to weave it into cotton cloth, but does not have a spinning machine, he can go to the textile shop of His Highness King Yan and pay fifty coins to ask the two old women in the textile shop to weave it for him.

Get a piece of cotton cloth.

If you don’t have extra money to pay, you can use cotton as a deduction.

In addition, you can also pay 300 coins to hire two old women in the textile shop and a set of looms to weave a month's worth of cloth for them.

You know, ordinary cotton fabrics these days cost one tael of silver per piece. And the clean cotton used for weaving is only fifty cents per catty. Ten catties of pure cotton can weave one piece of cotton cloth.

Although many ordinary people's fields can produce more than twenty kilograms of cotton a year, even after paying taxes, they can still leave more than ten kilograms for their families, enough to weave a piece of cotton cloth.

However, most people did not have looms at home, so they could only sell cotton to merchants at low prices.

It's just that as a result, the money for selling is less, and the people are reluctant to buy expensive cotton cloth, and can only buy ordinary white cloth or linen cloth.

But if you only spend fifty cents, you can weave ten kilograms of cotton into a piece of cotton cloth. In this way, for the common people, you will virtually earn an extra four hundred and fifty cents.

In less than a day, dozens of people came to the textile shop and asked for weaving services.

On the second day, hundreds of people gathered outside the entire textile shop.

Fang Qinggui, the shopkeeper of the textile shop, saw that the matter was getting serious and quickly sent people to the Yan Palace to ask for an audience with Guo An.

"Hundreds of people surrounded the textile shop?"

Guo An, who was planning to use the textile shop to warm up the people of Wanping County first, and then go to the countryside with a set of textile machines, couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the report from the shop clerk.

"Let's go, I will follow you to the shop!"

Guo An didn't hesitate and went directly to the textile shop.

When Guo An Rang, the steward, chose the location, he specifically chose the location between the Yan Palace and the Guo Mansion.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Guo An to arrive in front of the textile shop.

It was completely dark, and most of them were women.

In the shop, shopkeeper Fang Qinggui looked overjoyed when he saw Guo An arriving, and shouted to everyone: "Guo Changshi is here, please be patient!"

"Guo Changshi?"

All the people couldn't help but be stunned, but after seeing Guo An, they all reacted, looked overjoyed, and worshiped directly.

"The common people have seen the county magistrate!"

"The common people have seen Mr. Guo..."

Guo An quickly waved his hands and shouted: "Don't do this, everyone. I am no longer the magistrate of Wanping County, but now the right chief historian of Prince Yan's Mansion!"

"Isn't Guo County magistrate of Wanping County anymore?"

"It seems that I have heard from the village elders before that Wanping County has changed its magistrate, and County Honorable Guo has been promoted to Prince Yan's Mansion!"

"Guo County Zun has been promoted?"

"Common people see Guo Changshi!"

"See Guo Changshi..."

Some clever people quickly changed their words, but the rest of the people were shocked and quickly changed their words.

"Okay, everyone, please get up. I am in charge of this textile shop. You are surrounding this shop in broad daylight. What's going on?"

Guo An waved his hand, asking all the people to stand up, and then asked deliberately in a loud voice.

"Reporting to Guo Changshi, Cao Min and others are here and want to hire a shop to weave cloth for Cao Min and others!"

A commoner with a little bit of prestige came out and said.

"All of you?"

Guo An looked at all the people.

"Exactly!"

"Guo Changshi, I came to the city early in the morning with the newly picked cotton at home!"

"Yes, Guo Changshi, we arrived as soon as the city gate was opened, but we didn't expect so many people to wait for us..."

All the people said with eager faces.

Hearing this, Guo An nodded slightly. He really underestimated the common people of this era. He already knew to line up in advance to get a seat!

It's a pity that there are so many people, no matter how hard you get a seat, you still have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

"Everyone, I understand what you mean!

However, today is only the second day, and so many people have already come. There are only two sets of textile machines in the textile shop.

How long does it take for a set of textile machines to weave a piece of cotton cloth? You all know it by heart. If you, more than a hundred people, want to weave all the cotton cloth, it will take less than two months and it will be impossible.

Not to mention Beiping Prefecture, how many households in Wanping County want to weave cloth?

…”

Upon hearing this, the people surrounding the textile shop became anxious.

"Guo Changshi, Caomin is Ning Shitou from Ningjia Village in the south of the city, and Ning Daguang is Caomin's uncle..."

"Guo Changshi, the grassroots are from Shangzhuang Village, twenty miles west of the city, and Wang Shoushi is the grassroots..."

"Guo Changshi..."

Guo An was immediately happy and waved his hand quickly.

"I am familiar with the li chiefs and grain chiefs you mentioned, but there are so many of you. If I want to spin cotton cloth for you in advance, I have to come one by one!"

The faces of all the people turned gloomy again.

"However, I do have a good suggestion." Guo An chuckled.

All the people looked at Guo An expectantly.

Guo Andao: "You can buy a set of textile looms and weave at home. You don't need to bring so much cotton from a long way to queue up, and you don't need to pay the rental agency fee of fifty cents!"

"Buy a textile machine?"

All the people couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Guo Changshi was joking. Not only is a set of textile machines expensive, but there is not enough room at home to store them."

"Yes, looms are still just sentimental objects. If you buy them and put them in a poor house in a common man's home, they will probably break down within a year!"

"Guo Changshi..."

All the people started talking again.

Listening, Guo An's brows also wrinkled slightly, and he didn't think about it again.

"Please be patient and calm, these can be easily solved!"

"real?"

All the people looked at Guo An with joy on their faces.
