"Huh? What's up? Li Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard Liu E's words and asked, he really didn't remember what Liu E had said to him?

"Why did you forget, didn't the mourning family say last time that you should go to the northwest to promote cotton planting?" Liu E also reminded with a smile when she saw Li Zhang's appearance, but there seemed to be a little more difference in her smile.

Li Zhang only reacted at this time, last time Liu E proposed to let him go out to hide, after all, staying in the capital was too passive, but now that Wu is dead, even Shui Yuanzi has been caught, it can be said that his threat has been lifted, and there is no need to leave Beijing again, is it ......

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhang reacted, although his security threat had been lifted, but Liu E's real purpose was actually to let him leave the capital, so that she would be more convenient to do some things, which made Li Zhang also sigh secretly, it seems that Liu E's ambition is becoming more and more difficult to control.

"Big lady, the crisis has been lifted, I don't think I need to leave the capital anymore, after all, there are still many things for me to do here in the capital." Li Zhang hesitated for a moment and finally decided to play stupid, and replied immediately.

However, as soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Liu E's gaze immediately became sharp, and she seemed to see Li Zhang through all of a sudden, which made him a little uneasy, but he still tried his best to make a calm appearance on the surface.

Liu E's gaze put a lot of pressure on Li Zhang, and after a while, only to hear Liu E slowly speak: "You really don't want to leave the capital?" ”

Although Liu E's voice didn't seem to carry any emotion, Li Zhang knew that Liu E was actually angry at this time, and she no longer beat around the bush, and directly asked if she was willing to leave the capital, in fact, it was to give him one last chance to choose, if everything was fine according to her wishes, if he decided to stay, the consequences could be serious.

Li Zhang lowered his head, but he could still feel the pressure from the top of his head, and he was hesitating at this time, in fact, Liu E forced him to leave the capital, which was also a kind of protection for him, because Liu E may have more actions next, and Li Zhang was sandwiched between her and Zhao Zhen, he would only be in a dilemma, and even had to choose to stand in line in the end, and then he was really difficult to behave.

It was precisely thinking of the above that Li Zhang's heart became more and more hesitant, and Liu E also stared at him silently at this time, after a while, I saw Li Zhang suddenly sigh, and then bowed to Liu E and said: "Qiqi Lady, the minister has been frightened during this time, it is really not suitable for a long trip, and I hope that the eldest lady will understand!" ”

As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, I saw that Liu E was also shooting, and her old face was also full of anger, she let Li Zhang leave the capital with good intentions, and she was sure that Li Zhang also knew her hard work, but she didn't expect Li Zhang to refuse her kindness, but decided to stay, which was also an unacceptable thing for her.

Li Zhang's anger at Liu E was not surprised, in fact, he was almost about to agree just now, but he changed his mind at the last moment, he didn't want to see Liu E do something wrong, and he didn't want to see Zhao Zhen stay alone in the capital, if he really went out, I'm afraid it would be difficult to feel at ease, it was better to stay in the capital and act at the opportunity, of course, this would definitely anger Liu E temporarily, but he couldn't care about these anymore.

However, although Liu E was angry, she didn't break out in the end, but stared at Li Zhang for a while, and finally sat down slowly, looking at Li Zhang with complicated eyes and said, "The mourning family knows, you go down!" ”

"Thank you, Auntie!" Li Zhang bowed to Liu E again, and then slowly withdrew from the hall, Liu E was angry, no matter how much he explained, it was useless, so let Liu E calm down.

In the next few days, Li Zhang was still busy with money as usual, most of the time, the textile workshop in the manor outside the city had been built, and although the amount of cotton planted this year was limited, a lot of cotton cloth was also woven, and it was already put on the market for sale.

Because this year's production is limited, so the price is relatively high, but much cheaper than silk, you must know that the price of cotton cloth in the Western Regions is similar to silk in the past, so these cotton cloth on the market, but also immediately attracted the interest of many people, especially some people who are relatively wealthy, but are not willing to buy silk people, this kind of cotton cloth is more comfortable to wear than linen, and the color dyed is also very bright, it can be said that there is face and lining, so the first batch of cotton cloth was quickly snapped up.

Li Zhang is also very happy about the best-selling cotton cloth of this batch, in fact, if the cost is calculated, because cotton is the first trial planting, coupled with the input of textile workshops, dyeing workshops and other aspects, the pricing of the first batch of cotton cloth is still a little low, and it can even be said that it is a loss-making sale, after all, the cost of the early investment is too large.

However, this batch of cotton cloth Li Zhang did not intend to make money, but used to open the market, and now it has achieved initial results, and then there is a second batch, the third batch, although the number is not much, but it can further consolidate the market, and wait until next year, cotton will be planted in a large area in the northwest, and the output of cotton cloth will also increase greatly, I believe that it will soon take down the status of linen.

In addition, the branch of the money bank in Luoyang has also opened, and it is also very popular, speaking of the biggest problem between the branch and the head office is the smooth flow of information, for example, a person has saved money in Luoyang, then if he wants to take out the money in the head office of Kaifeng, he needs to send the information of his deposit money from Luoyang to Kaifeng, which requires the money bank to create an efficient and accurate information exchange channel, which is why the opening of a branch needs to be prepared for so long The main reason.

With the opening of the Luoyang branch, the branches of several other big cities around Tokyo are also on the agenda, but now the biggest problem is the lack of manpower, the Luoyang branch has been divided into a part of the competent manpower, and now if it expands, it must solve this problem.

This morning, Li Zhang was about to go to the money store as usual, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to suddenly send someone to invite him into the palace, which made him stunned for a moment, and then put down what he was doing and got into the carriage into the palace.

When Li Zhang came to Jingfu Palace, he saw Zhao Zhen sitting in the hall with a sad face, which made him have a bad premonition in his heart, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?" ”
