Chapter 131: Hunger and Cold

"What, you little girl regret it?" Xu Ming squinted at the entangled summer solstice, and couldn't help but say coolly.

Xia Zhi, who was still struggling with whether to let the caravan bring cottonseeds, felt that something was wrong when he heard Xu Ming's words, and said dogleggedly:

"Hehe...... godfather, you also said that this thing makes money, I really want to grow it, but according to what you said, I'm afraid that after I grow cotton, if the emperor has anything to do with those families, isn't the most unlucky still those of us, if I am alone, it doesn't matter, but I still have a large family!"

Xia Zhi's words are true, the first reason why she wants to plant cotton is that there are many dry lands in the Tian family now, and in addition to the sweet potatoes she found in the Dawu Dynasty, she has not found dry crops yet, and the second reason is because cotton is very expensive to sell in the north, so why not use your own land and make money. But now this little cotton is related to today, how not to let the summer solstice retreat.

Xia Zhi, whether it is the predecessor or the present life, thinks that she is not a material to play politics, so when she listened to Xu Ming's words, she was very decisive and planned to give up this financial road, not to mention that now she is not alone, but has parents, sisters and other relatives, she can't let her relatives suffer because of her mistakes, not to mention that this matter may endanger their lives, Xia Zhi can't even think of such a result, if because of what her Tian family has, Xia Zhi really can't imagine what will happen to her.

To say that after the summer solstice planted cotton, those merchants have moved today, and no one has taken revenge. The summer solstice felt almost impossible. And the summer solstice thinks even deeper. It is possible that these merchants also know the truth. After all, one day because of cotton, she will not be able to spare them today, and she can't say that she has prepared a way back early, and she doesn't dare to risk the lives of the Tian family.

Xu Ming nodded, knowing that Xia Zhi was telling the truth, and at the same time Xu Ming sighed in his heart, this little girl doesn't know how long the road is, it's good to put aside the ordinary little girl and not listen to what he said as a story. It's just that this girl has come up with so much, so precocious, and able to endure hardships, not like ordinary children at all. Thinking that Hui Ji would be hurt again, he looked at Xia Zhi with a complicated expression for a while.

If Xia Zhi knew that Xu Ming would be injured when he thought of Huiji, he would definitely be secretly glad that he didn't expect Huiji to be a demon.

Of course, because Xia Zhi didn't know what Xu Ming thought, seeing him looking at himself with complicated eyes, he hurriedly said:

"Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to grow cotton, but you can see it. Our family is a small farmer, and we don't dare to provoke those individuals. We just want to live a small life in peace and stability, those major national events, the common people are not what we should consider, nor can we consider! ”

Although Xia Zhi didn't know Xu Ming's previous identity, it can be seen from his opening of a medical clinic to help others, as well as helping Ma Shang deal with the matter of double cropping rice and sweet potatoes, it can be seen that Xu Ming loves the people, and at the same time wants the people to have a good life. So Xia Zhi thought that his cowardice angered Xu Ming, and at the same time disappointed him, so he looked at him with that kind of look.

"You little girl, don't look at me like that!" Facing Xia Zhi's aggrieved eyes, Xu Ming couldn't help it, "What kind of person do you think your godfather is, who let you joke with your family's life, since you are allowed to plant cotton, it will naturally ensure the safety of you and your family, you little girl has seen too much drama, and 'the most unlucky people are still us', if those people are lawless and dare to do anything, they will be solved this morning, and they can stay until today!" You're eating dry rice today! ”

Although the little girl is smart, it is not easy to think of so much, but he doesn't know that after so many years, in order to eradicate the power behind these people, he has not bothered much, not to mention other places, just this northern land, it is not so easy for people to come in.

Gu Xu Ming understands that almost more than 90% of these four counties are their master's people, and their master's son is the present. Therefore, it is still very difficult for the Tian family to have an accident in such an environment, not to mention that the last time Lin Yunlei left, he specially left people to protect the Tian family, and he was afraid that the matter of sweet potatoes would be reported, and someone would deliberately come over to coerce and lure, or directly find fault.

Although Xu Ming said clearly, Xia Zhi was still a little hesitant, not that he didn't believe Xu Ming's words, but there was a case in case, she couldn't risk the lives of the Tian family, she couldn't afford to gamble. When he thought like this, Xia Zhi's face showed hesitation.

"Oops! You little girl still doesn't believe me! Xu Ming was still a little worried when he saw Xia Zhi, blew his beard and glared, knocked on Xia Zhi's forehead and said,

"Don't worry, just you girl who is obsessed with money, who dares to trouble you, if someone makes trouble for you, Grandpa will be the first to let him go!"

Xu Ming said very arrogantly here, and when he saw Xia Zhiren's uneasy eyes, he had to continue in a serious tone,

"Don't worry, girl, according to the credit of your family to offer sweet potatoes, you won't have an accident today, and Yunlei won't let you have an accident. You must know that the road is now encouraging everyone to share the planting skills in their hands, this front foot your family has just dedicated this technique, and the back foot of your family has an accident, isn't that a naked slap in the face! Even if he doesn't think about your family, he will think about himself! ”

Xu Ming felt that his words had come to this point, if this girl still insisted, then he really wanted to pry her head open to see how it grew.

Xia Zhi was very sad, on the one hand, she thought that Xu Ming was right, if Jinshang really encouraged everyone to do this, she estimated that not only did their family have nothing to do, but also should be likely to get a very generous reward, but on the other hand, she felt that as the emperor of a country, how could she pay attention to these little minions, for the emperor, they are all ant-like existences, elephants will care about ants, isn't this a joke.

Xia Zhi shook his head, shook off the thoughts in his mind, looked at Xu Ming, and saw that he was looking at her with wide eyes, and seemed to care very much about whether she planted cotton, which made Xia Zhi a little suspicious, and he had never seen Xu Ming care so much about this matter before, why did he seem to be afraid that she would not agree now. While thinking like this, Xia Zhi stood up, looked at Xu Ming in a circle, and touched his chin with his right hand from time to time, looking pensive.

Xu Ming was blown up by Xia Zhi's eyes, and there was a slap on the top of her head: "You are a big ghost, what do you see, I haven't seen your godfather!" ”

Xia Zhi rubbed the top of his head that was hurt by the beating, thinking that beating like this would make people stupid, pouted, and said:

"Can you blame me for this, godfather, you usually don't care about anything except your medical center, but now you are so worried about whether I can grow cotton or not, isn't it suspicious, I always feel that this matter is not simple!"

After listening to Xia Zhi's words, Xu Ming was angry and slapped him again, but was dodged by the clever Xia Zhi, and at the same time replied: "Godgrandpa, you are fighting, your granddaughter was beaten stupid by you!" ”

"It's better to be stupid, save me if you don't have anything to do! What's 'always feel that this matter is not simple', you little baby thinks so much, and you are not afraid of headaches, after saying that I am very worried about whether you can grow cotton or not, I am just a little worried! ”

Then who is trying to persuade me to come just now, so if you are a little worried, then what is it called very worried, Xia Zhi slandered in his heart, and said: "Okay, even if I am a little worried, I remember that my grandfather didn't worry about anything except the medical hall!" ”

After listening to Xia Zhishunmao's words, Xu Ming's temperament also disappeared a lot, but he was still not very happy: "Come on, you little girl has to break the casserole and ask to the end, just take this opportunity to tell you what happened to me before!"

Lin Yunlei who went to your house before still remembers, he is not the child of my old friend, in fact, he is the youngest son of the former General Zhenbei, the younger brother of the current General Zhenbei, and I was General Zhenbei's subordinate when I was young. I read the promotion of General Zhenbei at the beginning, call him the eldest brother, and call him the little master."

Xu Ming told his own thing, and by the way, he also told Xia Zhilei's identity to Xia Zhi, he didn't want Xia Zhi to know Lin Yunlei's identity in the future, and came to trouble him, and Xu Ming thought that according to Xia Zhi, even if he didn't guess Lin Yunlei's identity, he would not be far from ten, and he didn't see the little girl listen to his words, and he didn't react at all.

In fact, he knew that Lu Dao was very annoyed at this time, although she guessed that Lin Yunlei's identity was extraordinary, but she didn't expect it to be such an identity, she knew that Lu Dao would not be willful against him in the first place, it seems that he will have to have a good time when he sees him in the future, no, it should be never seen again!

"Then what does this have to do with your worries about whether I can grow cotton or not?" Putting down Lin Yunlei's identity, Xia Zhi continued to ask.

"I can't care about you, I want you to make more money-" Xu Ming's words couldn't go on in Xia Zhi's eyes, so he had to tell the truth: "Hey, girl, you don't know how hard it is to be a soldier, I think I couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes back then, but now the situation is getting better, and it's not much better, relying on the supply of the imperial court alone is not enough, so Yun Lei is doing business outside, just to help the army and make the soldiers feel better!" Girl, you haven't seen it, there are soldiers who have been frozen to death, you say how do our soldiers defend their families and the country!

Speaking of this, Xu Ming sighed sadly, "So girl, if you really grow cotton, you can not only let the people have a warm winter, but also bless the border soldiers, which is really the blessing of the Great Wu Dynasty!" ”

Xia Zhi secretly rolled her eyes, she was not so noble, she just cared about her small family. But at this time, I have to say that she was moved by Xu Ming's words, especially the elder brother of the Zheng family who also joined the army, and has not returned, although there is no news, Xia Zhi believes that her uncle must still be alive, and she doesn't want her uncle to starve and freeze. So reluctantly agree. (To be continued......)
