I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 620 Rejection
If the crops grown in the Zhuangzi were sold to the military camp after paying the tax, then the Zhuangzi could barely maintain it.

But if you add these livestock raised in the village, you can indeed earn a lot of silver.

Especially the pigs raised in the village, not only the pork can be sold for money, but also the pig's head, pig's trotters and pig's offal can be sold at a high price.

Ning Laosan felt that as long as the Zhuangzi didn't lose money, it would be fine.

If you earn less money, you will earn less money. Anyway, there is a braised meat shop opened by my daughter-in-law in the city!
On the day of cotton picking, not only all the people in the village were dispatched, but also the villagers from the surrounding villages all went to the field.

Try to take advantage of the good weather to pick off all these cotton bolls within a few days.

After picking off all the cotton bolls in the village, they put them in the house, and asked people to sort out the cotton seeds, pack the cleaned cotton in sacks, and transport them to the military camp.

Seeing so many snow-white cottons shocked the mighty general!

Wu Shuo came in a hurry with his personal entourage. Seeing so much cotton, the surprise on his face was visible to the naked eye.

The soldiers below have cotton coats to wear again this winter.

When he learned that Ning Lao San was willing to sell this year's newly planted cotton to the military camp at a low price, Wu Shuo's tiger eyes were filled with tears!

"General Dingyuan, don't worry, I will never forget your contribution in this matter, and I will tell His Majesty the truth."

Ruo said, at the beginning, the cotton seeds were firmly controlled by the Ning family.

But when Ning Laosan and the two Zhuangzi's cotton were picked, Ning Laosan told Wang that if there were villagers around Zhuangzi who wanted to grow cotton, they would provide cotton seeds for free.

However, similarly, the cotton grown by those who got the cotton seeds had to be sold to the Ning family.

For this kind of business without capital, the villagers around Zhuangzi naturally showed their eyes and went to Zhuangzi to ask for cotton seeds.

However, regarding the matter of coming to ask for cotton seeds, Wang also asked Lizheng from the villages around Zhuangzi to come and tell them what the Ning family meant.

Hearing that Zhuangzi's master had only such a small request, he was relieved.

Knowing that the third master actually gave cotton seeds to the people in the village next to Zhuangzi for free for planting, Liu Hu felt a little violent.

Covering his heart, he asked puzzledly.

"Third Master, does the county lord know about this?"

You know, Miss Cheng'er managed to find these cotton seeds from far away overseas to honor her.

Third Ning took a look at Liu Hu, then nodded.

"Naturally, this is what my mother meant."

Hearing what the third master said, Liu Hu could only suppress the pain in his heart.

Since the magistrate said it, there must be a reason.

Wu Shuo carefully wrote down the matter that Ning Lao San sold the cotton and grain grown in the village to the military camp at a low price, and sent it to His Majesty's desk.

Looking at the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianxi heaved a long sigh after reading it.

"I am really lucky to have this subject!"

When the courtiers learned the news the next day, many of them couldn't help gnashing their teeth secretly.

Originally, because of this cotton, the interests of many aristocratic families suffered greatly.

But among the aristocratic families, there are also some smart people.

Since this cotton is so good, it must prove to be profitable.

When these aristocratic families are preparing to plant this cotton on a large scale, they have spent a lot of money on it.

Originally, I planned to wait for next year's cotton harvest to make a fortune.

Fortunately, what was written in Saibei's memorial, directly put the money they invested in before, not to mention all wasted, but at least they couldn't make much money!
If you don't lose money, you probably have to laugh.

After all, the Ning family actually gave the technology of how to grow cotton. As long as the common people wanted to learn how to grow it, they would provide cotton seeds and the technology of how to grow it for free.

This day, when the imperial court fell, the study rooms of many families in the capital were smashed to pieces.

Ning Laosan used his strength to bring another wave of hatred to his family.

For this cotton, Ning Pengpeng didn't think at all that this kind of seed and technology could be hidden for a long time.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the foreign tribes outside of Saibei will definitely learn the seeds and technology from the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, when Ning Lao San wrote to Ning Pengpeng, saying that he wanted to exchange for a war horse of a foreign race, he wondered if it would be a disadvantage if he exchanged it with cotton seeds.

After thinking about it, Ning Pengpeng wrote a letter to the capital.

When Pei Yan received the letter from the Lord of Shouning County, he was still a little strange.

After opening it and looking at it, he pondered for a while, then went into the palace to look for the emperor.

Emperor Tianxi took the letter from the Lord of Shouning County to Pei Yan, and after reading three or two lines, he frowned and asked Pei Yan.

"Sir, do you think what the Lord Shouning said is feasible?"

After all, the cotton grown at home has not been promoted nationwide yet!

If people from other races planted this cotton first so that they could wear warm clothes, would it have an impact on the frontiers of the Jin Dynasty?
"There are pros and cons to this matter.

However, Your Majesty, in the end, this incident is indeed exactly as Shouning County Lord said, and I am afraid it cannot be prevented. "

Pei Yan cupped her hands and said what she was thinking.

There is no wall that is not ventilated in the world, not to mention, if these foreigners knew that there was cotton in the Jin Dynasty, they would not easily give up their desire to inquire.

For example, the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn that were planted before, according to the report from the spies, some people in the alien tribe have already started planting them!

It's just that those aliens are used to migrating so that cattle and sheep can eat more plump grass.

Therefore, there are not many tribes planted.

However, Emperor Tianxi felt that it was because the foreign tribes hadn't noticed the differences and benefits.

If they are aware of it, these alien tribes will definitely start planting.

However, Emperor Tianxi also had some worries.

Because he was very contradictory, if the foreign tribes could really grow these crops and no longer be hungry, wouldn't they go to the outside of Saibei City to hunt grass due to lack of food?

However, the same.

If these alien tribes are not short of food, they will surely start to grow slowly in the future.

By that time, these foreign tribes will be the biggest hidden danger of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Emperor Tianxi sent a secret letter to Ning Laosan directly.

In the letter, it was clearly stated that the war horse was needed by the Jin Dynasty.

But in the same way, the cotton seeds and planting techniques cannot be disclosed to foreign tribes.

Third Ning did not expect that his mother would actually tell His Majesty what she thought.

After seeing clearly what His Majesty said, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, suppressing his original thought of exchanging cotton seeds for war horses.

Since His Majesty has refused, if he does this again, if he is involved in a memorial, it is estimated that he will be charged with the crime of collaborating with internal and external enemies.

Fortunately, he only told his mother about this idea.

Now, one more His Majesty knows.

　Ask for a monthly pass, please!
