I was the best old lady in ancient times

Wang's arranged for people to take her mother-in-law to the village.

The people sent by the Liu family over there were guarding near the gate of the Ning mansion. When they saw the carriage of the Ning mansion, they rushed home immediately and reported it to the Liu family.

Originally, Mrs. Liu was only thinking of finding a chance to run into Mrs. Wang and the evil mother-in-law Shouning County Lord.

She didn't believe it. With her perfect tongue, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to flatter that Shouning county lord?
Unexpectedly, I got the news.

Without thinking too much, he immediately called someone, prepared the carriage, and hurriedly chased after Ningfu's carriage.

However, even if she asked the carriage to chase quickly, she still didn't run into Ning's carriage on the road.

Thinking of the few Zhuangzi bought by Ning's family, Liu thought for a while and asked his servants to drive towards the biggest Zhuangzi.

Needless to say, when a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, Mrs. Liu really got it right.

"Mother, in another month, the cotton in our village will be able to be picked.

Excluding the supply to the military camp, there will be a lot more this year, which can be supplied to our family's textile factory for weaving. "

The weavers and carpenters sent from Nanyue Mansion had already made the looms needed by the textile factory, and hundreds of weavers had also been trained.

Now just wait for this year's new cotton to come down, and it can be used for weaving.

In addition to weaving, this new cotton is used to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts, which is the most warm.

Last year, many merchants in the south came to place orders when they learned that the Ning family's village in Saibei had cotton.

It's a pity that most of last year's new cotton was supplied to the military camp, and a small part of the Ning family didn't have enough for their own use.

Those merchants had no choice but to pay a deposit first, and agreed that some of the new cotton produced in the next year must be reserved for them.

It was precisely because of the deposits paid by these merchants that Mr. Ning made Wang buy several more Zhuangzi.

However, Ning Laosan still ordered Wang not to use all the fields in the village to grow cotton.

It is necessary to grow half of grain and half of cotton.

In this way, the common people will not be allowed to plant cotton in one hive, causing the big guys to have no food to eat.

On the other side of the barracks, because of the loom provided by Ning Laosan to General Wu, and because the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall no longer invade the border, the soldiers in the barracks will spend the rest of their time in the military field except for training. Plant inside.

Therefore, this year's barracks, the supply of the Ning family's new cotton is actually not so rigid.

Ning Pengpeng is in the mansion these days, and as soon as Ning Lao San returns to the mansion, he will tell his mother about the situation in Saibei.

Ning Pengpeng was not surprised by what Wang said just now, and nodded to show that he understood.

However, after arriving at Zhuangzi, Ning Pengpeng did not go to rest. Instead, he found the head of the Zhuangzi and asked in detail about the cotton planting in the Zhuangzi.

Then, following the head of the village, he went to the ridge where the cotton was planted, and checked the growth of the cotton up close.

After listening to Zhuangtou's words and seeing the cotton growing in the field with his own eyes, Ning Pengpeng already knew it.

It seems that the quality and yield of cotton grown in Nanyue Prefecture is not as good as that in Saibei, not because of the planting methods.

Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with the region.

Although the Saibei side is freezing cold in winter, it is also extremely hot in summer.

The sunlight is more abundant than other places, which should be one of the reasons why the quality and yield of cotton here are better and more.

If this is the reason, then the Zhuangzi in Nanyue Prefecture can let go of growing cotton, and it is better to plant some crops that are more suitable for growing in Nanyue Prefecture.

On Saibei's side, however, they can buy more fields to grow cotton in large quantities.

After all, there are not many other things in Saibei, but there is a lot of land.

Of course, the biggest reason for the large amount of land is that there are few people here.

The reason for the small number of people is naturally related to the location at the border, and the fact that those foreign tribes outside the Great Wall come to fight grass valleys from time to time.

Most of the young and middle-aged people in the area have joined the army as soldiers.

The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were either killed by those alien tribes or robbed.

There are also some who just can't stand the fact that they don't know whether they can live until tomorrow, and would rather be a wandering person than a refugee in their homeland.

Ning Pengpeng naturally knew that it would be impossible for those good people to come to Saibei.

However, in ancient times, the most indispensable thing was slaves.

Those who couldn't survive those days sold themselves, or some servants who were resold by the government after their homes were ransacked.

And these slaves who were resold naturally went wherever the master asked them to go, where did they have a choice?
Back in the village, just after sitting down, Ning Pengpeng was discussing with Wang Shi to see if they could go to other towns to buy more servants.

Also on the Saibei side, if we want to buy more fields to grow food and cotton, we heard a report from the servants saying that Mrs. Xue from Zhuangzi asked to see him.

Ning Pengpeng and Wang Shi were stunned at the same time when they heard that the servants came to report Mrs. Xue's three words. The subconscious reaction was that it was Ning Laosan's immediate boss's wife.

However, before Wang's face showed an angry look, Ning Pengpeng reacted, raised his eyebrows, stopped Wang who wanted to get angry, and quietly asked his servants to invite Mrs. Xue in.

"Mother, this Xue family is plotting against our family so much, why do you still let her in?"

Ning Pengpeng glanced at the distraught Wang Shi, then replied in a flat tone.

"Don't forget what I told you before."

As soon as Ning Pengpeng finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.

"Sister Wang, you have made it hard for her to find her."

Mrs. Liu followed the servant, and greeted Mrs. Wang with a smile as soon as she entered Zhuangzi's living room.

Mrs. Wang was stunned by her shameless words.

Ning Pengpeng looked at the woman in front of her up and down. It seemed that this woman was the one who got in the way of the Xue family's affairs!
"Hey, this must be Sister Wang's mother-in-law, right?

I don't know how disturbed the county lord is in this village, so Mrs. Xue and Liu greeted the county lord. "

When Liu saw Ning Pengpeng, she first showed a look of surprise, and then quickly saluted Ning Pengpeng respectfully.

If Ning Pengpeng was really his original body, he might be pleased by Liu's respectful attitude.

Unfortunately, Ning Pengpeng is not.

This time, she really looked at this Mrs. Xue Liu seriously.

From the looks of it, Wang Shi was really not wronged by this man.

Mrs. Liu was just putting on airs, thinking about her respectful attitude, the Lord of Shouning County would definitely wake her up.

But he didn't expect that after he paid his respects, the Lord of Shouning County didn't say a word, just staring at him.

This was beyond her expectation, and made it difficult for her to maintain such a greeting posture.

After all, who can keep squatting with his body slightly lowered?

After a long time, the sweat on Liu's forehead fell down in big drops.

In a short while, her face covered with rouge and gouache was left with streaks of grooves.

Ask for a monthly pass, please!
