The New Year is a day of reunion, the little prince left the royal family, he has to go back to the palace to stay with his father and mother for 5 days, and wait until the fifth day of the first month before he can come to live at the master's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The little prince was reluctant, but he was also very sensible, he didn't cry, and promised to bring the snacks in the palace to Gouya'er and Xiaoyu.

Gouya'er looked very happy, but as soon as she turned her head, she told Wang Ning'an that the dim sum in the palace was not delicious at all.

"Why don't you tell your Highness and ask him not to take it."

Gouya'er shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "That's not good, he will be sad, anyway, after you bring it, you and Xiaoyu don't eat it." ”

Wang Ningan smiled and touched his son's head, although the dog tooth didn't like it, but he didn't blow up immediately, it seems that the little guy has learned to understand the feelings of others.

"Good performance, rewards!"

"What reward?" Dogtooth asked excitedly.

"Reward a feast!" Wang Ningan said with a smile, at this time, there was a burst of aroma outside, the door curtain was opened, and Su Banniang walked in from outside.

She smiled at the dog's teeth, "Young Master, do you want Erniang?" ”

When Gouya'er saw Su Banniang, she immediately threw her father, and hurriedly ran over, hugging Su Banniang's legs, which was extremely intimate.

Erniang is beautiful, speaks elegantly, has good craftsmanship, female red needlework, everything is much better than Yang Xi, Gouyaer's favorite is the dishes made by Erniang, and she also likes the shoes she makes.

Su Banniang has been in Youzhou for this time, and if she wants to govern such a big place, it will definitely not be possible to rely on Ouyang Xiu and others alone, and all kinds of forces of the Wang family have joined in.

Bai Shi mobilized tens of millions of funds to restore the wool industry in Youzhou, encourage the breeding of cattle and sheep, because the pasture was distributed to the common people, the enthusiasm of the herdsmen was high, and in just two years, the number of cattle and sheep in Youzhou more than doubled.

Such a huge and complicated thing, the Bai family can't do it alone, Su Banniang is a great contributor, of course, Xiao Guanyin has also done a lot of things.

Youzhou was on the right track, and Su Banniang took out her efforts and rushed back to Xijing.

Along the way, I hurried and hurried to make a reunion dinner for the family.

Su Banniang's craftsmanship is not blown, I think it is a top chef, the dishes made are full of color, flavor and flavor, Dog Tooth and Xiao Yu are simply reincarnated like evil ghosts, and the belly they eat is like a leather ball, round, and reluctant to move. Yang Xi is also ashamed of himself.

Wang Ningan felt that life was comfortable all of a sudden, and with Su Banniang, he didn't even have to bother to take care of the children. It's just that he was happy for a while, and Su Banniang came over in a hurry!

"Master, what's the matter with you? Can you take such anger? ”

Su Banniang vigorously pushed Wang Ningan on the recliner to wake up, her pretty face was gloomy and her eyebrows were frosty.

"Some people say that our family is poor, and that the eldest young master is a poor boy? Did you know? ”

Wang Ningan smiled helplessly, "I know, what if I know?" Could it be that I still carried money over and blocked the door of the Qian family to prove that our family has money? Your father-in-law is an official of the imperial court and the master of the prince, and you have nothing to do to fight for wealth with others, what is this? ”

Su Banniang was asked, but she was still unwilling.

"What kind of thing is the Qian family, there are a few coppers in his pocket, and he dares to compare with our family! Needless to say, the money in my hands alone can make them suffer a big loss! ”

Su Banniang said: "Master, if you don't care, I'll go and vent my anger to my sister and the eldest young master, anyway, the women will not lose face to the women." ”

……

I really didn't see that Su Banniang, who was gentle on the surface, was actually a personality who refused to admit defeat.

Wang Ningan is not a good type, but because of his face, he is unwilling to meet women in general, if Su Banniang can make a move, it is very suitable.

"I said, little sister, what do you have a good idea? I can remind you that the Qian family has a rich background and is by no means an idle person, so don't mess with them easily. ”

Su Banniang smiled, "Master, you are too underestimated to be a concubine, I don't know what the Qian family has!" ”

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and sent it to Wang Ningan's hand.

Wang Ningan didn't understand what it meant, and sniffed, "Well, it's quite fragrant." ”

Su Banniang's face flushed, "It's not serious!" People let you see, what is this made of! ”

Only then did Wang Ningan notice that this handkerchief was not silk or linen...... It's cotton!

If the memory is good, it seems that cotton spinning is popular, it is in the late Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Daopo introduced textile technology from Lingnan to promote cotton planting, to the Ming Dynasty, Songjiang became a famous cotton spinning center, Songjiang's fine cloth compared to the silk of Suzhou, not bad at all, are the fist products of export.

"What? Someone planted cotton and spun cloth? ”

Su Banniang was also a little surprised, and said that her husband was powerful enough, and he actually knew that it was spun from cotton, but after thinking about it, it was not too strange, after all, Wang Ningan had been to Lingnan, and it was not strange to know it.

"I bought it from the Lebanese."

Su Banniang told Wang Ning'an that since the pacification of Nong Zhigao and the beginning of passing through Lingnan, there have been more and more business exchanges between the two sides.

Lingnan mainly supplies raw materials and grain to the north, and the north provides iron tools, agricultural tools, books, pots and pans, and so on...... Trade between the two sides is getting closer.

Cotton spinning technology was originally the housekeeping skill of the Li people, and only a small amount of cotton cloth flowed out.

With the frequent trade, the Li people also took out more cotton cloth to exchange goods. Cotton did not have the luxury of silk and was softer and more comfortable than linen, and it soon conquered many people.

The cotton cloth is popular, and the handkerchief in Su Banniang's hand, plus embroidery, costs 500 yuan.

The production capacity of the Li people is limited, and it is far from meeting the demand, so many people want to introduce cotton and weave cotton cloth to make money.

"So, the Qian family wants to introduce cotton?" Wang Ningan rhythmically cocked the armrest of the chair and said lightly.

Su Banniang nodded hurriedly, "No, the Qian family has already mastered the silk business, if they also control the cotton spinning, then they will be invincible in the world...... Master, you can't leave it alone! ”

Seeing that his wife was in a hurry, Wang Ningan suddenly stretched out his hand and scratched her nose.

"Little Nizi, I think you want to interfere, right?"

Su Banniang simply nodded, "So what?" Don't you want to master cotton spinning and accumulate more family business for our family? ”

"Saving up for a family business? You can say that again! Wang Ningan smiled: "But you can accumulate so much money, and no one inherits it, it's not good!" So, it's imperative to have a baby as soon as possible, and not to think about it so much! ”

As he spoke, Wang Ningan stretched out his hand and hugged Su Banniang's flexible body.

The couple, who hadn't been together for a long time, quickly found the feeling of their wedding night.

Yang Xi already has two sons, Su Banniang's stomach has not moved, there are no children, so she thinks about messy things all day long, there are so many industries in cotton spinning, how can anyone swallow it if they want to, besides, Wang Ningan has long been unwilling to have a specific industry, as long as he holds the bank and occupies the highest end, as for the rest, let others fight for it!

Before sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, I must find something for Su Banniang, so that this little girl has no heart to toss. Therefore, Wang Ningan worked tirelessly, carried forward the spirit of dedication, and was tired of being with Su Banniang every day, doing everything possible to make her conceive a baby as soon as possible.

Su Banniang also felt her husband's strong friendship, Gouya and Xiaoyi, what a cute child, maybe she should have one.

Su Banniang didn't want to learn from Xiao Guanyin, her mind was full of conspiracy and calculation, she worked hard to cater to Wang Ning'an, and during the New Year holiday, they were all busy with their hearts.

Until the official early dynasty on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Ningan was almost late.

He stared at the dark circles under his eyes, and when he arrived at Xuande Gate, compared to last year, because Jia Changchao and others rushed over, the number of officials was much higher.

However, no matter how many officials there are, compared to the newly completed Daqing Palace, it seems empty.

Although the reinforced concrete thing is not beautiful, it is majestic enough to be in it, and it is absolutely awe-inspiring. Including Lao Jia, they all felt that moving the capital might be a good idea.

After the pilgrimage, it was a routine, every year, and there was nothing new.

Zhao Zhen encouraged everyone to be loyal to their duties, and then prepared to disperse.

At this time, Qian Yu suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal, please ask Your Majesty for your permission."

Zhao Zhen still remembered the events of the previous year, and was a little dissatisfied with Qian Xuan, but on the first day of work in the new year, he couldn't let him shut up.

"Qian Aiqing, just say what you have!"

"Yes." Qian Yu suddenly straightened his waist and looked very excited, "Your Majesty, the minister has been in Jiangnan for a long time, and someone has recently introduced cotton from Lingnan and woven cotton cloth with cotton, which is soft and comfortable, and is very popular." The minister thought that the good things in the world must first be filial piety to the monarch's father, so he purchased 2,000 pieces of cotton cloth and dedicated them to His Majesty as a New Year's gift. ”

Wang Ningan raised his eyebrows, 2,000 pieces of cloth, not to mention three or five hundred thousand yuan, but it is not a small amount of money.

Zhao Zhen also remembered those cotton cloths, which were indeed very good, and he also asked people to make a few clothes for the prince out of cotton cloth, and the little prince liked it very much.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen's tone softened, "Qian Aiqing has a heart." ”

"Filial piety to the monarch is the duty of the minister, the minister thinks that the palace needs a stable supply of cotton cloth, and the minister is willing to relieve His Majesty's worries, providing 20,000 horses every year for the palace."

Ooh!

What a big deal!

Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "Qian Aiqing, cotton cloth is not cheap at the moment, even more expensive than the best silk, so many cotton cloth, can you get it?" ”

Qian Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, sympathetic to your subordinates, in order to solve the king's worries, dare to resign from your ministers' work, no matter how difficult it is, the ministers are willing to do it for Your Majesty." The minister only asks His Majesty to allow the minister to promote the cultivation of cotton in the southeast, and all cotton fields are taxed according to the farmland, as long as this is done, the minister guarantees that 20,000 pieces of cotton cloth will be dedicated to His Majesty every year, and if this is not possible, the minister is willing to hand over the head to His Majesty. ”

That's a good thing!

Turning farmland into cotton fields, taxes will not be reduced, and there will be more than 20,000 cotton cloths in the palace for nothing, no matter how you think about it, there is no reason to refuse.

Who knows, at this time, Ouyang Xiu suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, speaking of which, Lord Qian means nothing more than that he will give you a bribe of 20,000 horses, and then allow him to annex land everywhere and forcibly change to cotton! Let's ask, how much can an acre of cotton field produce, and how much can an acre of grain field produce? How can I pay the same tax? What's more, cotton can't be eaten, and after the replanting, there is not enough food in the southeast, what should I do? If there is no proper way, the minister opposes Lord Qian's proposal! ”
