Chapter 350: Out of the City
An inconspicuous horse-drawn carriage weaves through the streets of the capital.
In addition to the sound of wheels, the half-lifted curtains of cars floated in from time to time to the cries of vendors along the street and the laughter of pedestrians.
"Madame seems to be in high spirits."
Lin Hao's eyes greedily roamed back and forth on the street, and naturally she didn't know that the people around her were also greedy to appreciate her beauty.
"Back to Your Majesty...... Master, the concubine is just a momentary play. ”
Lin Zhen smiled back, clear to the bottom.
"This old man is comfortable, but ......" his waist was slammed tight, the warm breath came to his face, and the deliberately lowered voice was a little bewitching, "It's more appropriate to call Xianggong." ”
The breath was approaching, Lin Hao was a little embarrassed, her breath gradually stabilized, and she said, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
"What else would you not dare, huh?"
The atmosphere grew stranger.
Lin Hao coughed lightly, "Master, you're out of the city." ”
He straightened up again, pretending to look at the scenery outside the carriage, and decided to ignore the people beside him.
"I know."
No more words, but also warmth.
When he arrived at the place, Li Ping was already waiting here, he had seen Zhou Chuhan, so he naturally knew his identity.
"Slave to master, lady please be safe."
Li Ping saluted respectfully.
"Is it arranged?"
Lin Zhen stepped on the soft soil under her feet, and the undried dew still hung on the lush weeds, wetting the end of her skirt, but she didn't care at all.
"Mrs. Hui, come with the little one."
Li Ping was respectful, and led the way, this trip was already low-key, except for a few guards in the palace, it was also clean.
In this morning in the countryside, the air is also very clear, this mountain road is small and difficult to walk, Zhou Chuhan is not impatient, and follows Lin Hao left and right.
"Sir, madam, look at ......"
Li Ping pointed to a large patch of white at the foot of the mountain, wiped a few drops of sweat on his forehead, revealing a little excitement.
"Hehe, it's a good planting."
With a rare compliment, Zhou Chuhan nodded.
"Master, this is the first time these tenants have produced cotton, and as for the yield, we will have to wait a month or two to know." Lin Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, cotton was planted in the Zhou Dynasty, Fujian and Guangzhou, but the yield was not high, civilians wore cloth clothes, but kapok was warm as cotton clothes.
"Madame, do you mean to give this a try?"
The sun gradually came out, and Rao is Zhou Chuhan became unfazed, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"What the lord said is exactly what the concubine thinks in her body and mind, these were originally tenants of the Chengguo Mansion, because they can't pay the tenants' grain, there are not a few who are hungry and poor, the more the magnates oppress the tenants, the poorer the tenants will be, and in the long run, the contradictions between the magnates and these peasants will be deep."
Lin Hao's cheeks were rosy, this was no better than in the palace, and the words in her heart poured out.
"Oh? Xiuyun Pavilion is also for this, right? ”
Zhou Chuhan did not express his position, but said.
"Yes, this cotton can not only allow these tenants to eat, but also not be afraid of cold, and if they can earn money, they are naturally not afraid of handing over the tenants' grain." Lin Zhen said.
Zhou Chuhan groaned slightly, "Since you have made the arrangements, why do you need to take me to see." ”
"Master, this is not only the problem of food and clothing for the tenant farmers of Chengguo, but also the problem of all the tenant farmers in the Great Zhou, if this step can be taken, why should the tax revenue of the Great Zhou be worried?"
Lin Zhen can't avoid suspicion at the moment, she sent a lot of people to inquire about cotton planting at the beginning of her founding, and spent a lot of money to invite mothers-in-law who can weave cloth to teach the peasant women to spin cloth.
It's just that her actions are bound to offend the magnates in the capital, which makes the tenant farmers live a life of food and clothing, and what interests do they have for the magnates, but it can be seen that the profits from the cutting are getting bigger and bigger.
She didn't listen to a lot of rumors about her a few days ago, there were many people who deliberately grabbed the rumors about her and Gu Jinyang, where did they care about her private affairs, they were afraid that His Excellency Xiuyun's tenant farmers would live a good life, and then attract riots from other tenant farmers.
She is not afraid of the conspiracy behind her.
Looking at this big week, only the person in front of her can protect her!
