Entering November, the weather changed suddenly, first a northeast wind swept in, the frozen people shivered, and then the snowflakes mixed with the thumb-sized hail fell from the sky, smashing everyone in pain.

Then there was a hail the size of a walnut, which rained for three days and two nights, and countless houses and houses collapsed countless times. Especially in some areas where it is stricter, the whole area is the size of an adult's fist, so you can imagine the disaster situation there.

Thinking of the past three days, Sang Zi's scalp began to tingle, you say that the palace where she lives is a sturdy and durable concubine-level palace, but this is not earthquake-proof, even if it encounters a hail, it can also smash the eaves of her palace.

Fortunately, she was smarter, and when she saw that the hail was relatively small, she asked the attendants around her to wear a quilt and sweep the hail on the palace floor several times, otherwise, she didn't know how thick the hail would be piled up.

However, those low-status palace concubines are not so lucky, I heard that the palace where they live, due to the fact that it has not been repaired all year round, has been smashed a lot.

After Sang Zi's confirmation, this hail fell more than a meter deep, as for other places, Sang Zi is not very clear, anyway, she only knows that the area popularized by this hail is too large, and many people have frozen to death in many areas.

When Kangxi got the news, he was in a hurry, especially thinking of the people who were affected by the disaster, Kangxi went out of his army as soon as possible, but with such a cold weather, even those soldiers couldn't stand such a climate.

In order to reduce the casualties of the people, Kangxi found Sangzi as soon as possible, because he knew that the land that Sangzi bought this year was all planted into cotton. Thinking about Concubine Yi's borrowing of five million taels of silver from Mrs. Guo Luoluo, plus the more than five million taels of silver land she bought herself, Kangxi at least knew that Sangzi had more than 200 pieces of land, and if you think about more than 200 pieces of land, if all of them were planted into cotton, how much cotton would be harvested?

So, as soon as the courtiers spoke, all the cotton in Sangzi was levied by Kangxi, as for the silver issue, Kangxi didn't give her anything at all, as for those courtiers, they only care about those people now, and they don't pay attention to such things at all.

The bitter Sang Zi sat in her palace and began to sulk, you tell me who she recruited and who she provoked, she planted so much cotton, purely because she thought that cotton could be put away, and then she still wanted to put some cute dolls in her store as a small gift, who knows, Kangxi will all be levied away at once, and he won't tell her the price of cotton at all, what is the difference between this and robbery?

"Zhiqin, this palace has been bullied by the emperor. "Sang Zi is so sad, it's okay for others to bully her, but even the emperor bullied her like this, is there still a way to live this day?

"Master, the emperor is also for the sake of the people of our Qing Dynasty, if there is no cotton, I don't know what kind of suffering the people will suffer?" Zhiqin also knew his master's thoughts, so he had to pull the people out, hoping that his master would be for the sake of the people, and not be serious with the emperor, otherwise, it would be his master who would be hurt.

"That's right, master, look at how thick the hail has piled up in our palace, if this is left in the homes of those ordinary people, and you don't know what it will look like, can you bear to see the people suffer?" Of course, she also felt that the emperor was a little unreliable, obviously he had requisitioned the cotton, but he didn't give her master a clear price, didn't she deliberately bully her master?

Sang Zi nu his own small mouth, feeling that although what they said was reasonable, they couldn't just bully themselves like this, thinking that the cotton he stored was taken away by Kangxi like this, Sang Zi's heart was really uncomfortable, but thinking of those people, Sang Zi endured it.

"It's true that the palace feels sorry for those people, but the palace planted so much cotton, and it was suddenly expropriated by the emperor, and the palace felt uncomfortable. Yes, she was very unhappy, and it was no wonder that she could be happy when she thought that all the cotton she had grown was gone.

"Master, we don't feel bad, if the master wants cotton, let's plant it again next year. This is the only way Zhiqin can come up with, she doesn't believe that the emperor will still want to leave a little for her master at this time, the only hope is that her master can be happy.

Zhiqi didn't know how to enlighten his master, so he had to massage his master's legs, hoping that his master's blood circulation and legs and feet would not be swollen.

"Cotton cultivation is a certainty, otherwise, Hongu would not be able to produce fabrics, and the business of the silk shop pù would also be affected. But the cotton planted in the palace this year, but it is specially stored for the store pù, waiting to be used for the opening of the shop, and now it is requisitioned by the emperor, and the silk shop of the palace cannot be opened, who is responsible for this loss?"

Originally, she also wanted to buy some cotton for people to weave into cloth, but she bought too much, and she was afraid of causing any trouble, and finally, after weighing it again, let people plant all of it into cotton, first: some peanuts and potatoes can be planted in the cotton field, which will also help her improve the soil quality of the land on the side. Second, she is going to have people build a pond next to it to breed those aquatic species. Three: After the cotton is harvested, she can let people grow wheat, which is also an excellent choice for the grain-starved Qing Dynasty.

Originally, she had calculated all this, with the supply of the pool, she was not worried that the crops she planted would not have a good harvest, and again, with the fish in the pool, in a year or two, her restaurant would be able to open there, and now that Kangxi is so troubled, her cloth village will be hindered, and I don't know how much silver taels she can lose this time.

"Alas, it is said that in business, in the face of such natural and man-made disasters, this palace can only selflessly dedicate. Thinking of this, Sang Zi was also speechless, obviously she only needed to plant these cottons, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Sang Zi looked at the attendants beside him distressed again: "Since these cotton are for the emperor, the palace will calculate the price of cotton last year!"

She is already so favorable, and I don't know if the emperor will remember her kindness, although she despises Kangxi's style, but she has to admit that if she is in that position, she can only do this, after all, the people are the foundation of this country!
