Xu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows lightly, observing Wang Lizheng's subtle expression and continued, "What do you think of this point? ”

She made a well-behaved expression and respectfully handed the silver taels wrapped in silk cloth to Wang Lizheng.

Wang Lizheng lifted his eyelids disdainfully, sighed and took it, opened it carelessly, and when he saw the silver ticket in the silk cloth, his godless eyes immediately brightened.

"What is this?"

"This is filial piety to you, I was blamed for being ignorant before, the prince has now given me a death order, if I don't plant cotton as soon as possible, I'm only afraid that my head will not be protected." You see, I've been in Wangjia Village for a long time, so I have to speed up. ”

Wang Li was squinting at the silver ticket in his hand, and he didn't have any doubts about what Xu Xiaoxiao said, if it wasn't for a very urgent matter, how could he easily enter Wangjia Village with the identity of the prince.

It seems that this cotton is the top priority of the imperial court, since Xu Xiaoxiao has such an attitude, if he still deliberately embarrasses, let the prince know that he will also be affected by this.

But if he easily agreed, wouldn't his two sons have suffered in vain, and although the crime of polluting the water will not lead to death, it will be locked up for some time.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't like to listen to what your uncle says, since this matter is a major event of the imperial court, and it is also a major event of Wangjia Village, it is my two disobedient sons, it is pitiful, it is useless for me to ask for this money, I don't bring it to life or death, and I have worked hard for most of my life not for the children."

Listening to Wang Lizheng's hints, Wang Duo also calmed down, this clearly meant that he wanted to blackmail, he was so angry that he wanted to get up, and Xu Xiaoxiao beside him hurriedly held him down.

"Uncle, haven't you found out about this matter yet? Maybe it's all a misunderstanding? ”

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't say it too clearly, but followed Wang Lizheng's appearance and said, "However, since Lizheng thinks that this matter is not easy to do, forget it, I am begging the prince to find a new place to plant, but I am afraid that the rent will be returned." ”

Wang Lizheng, who was still pondering, heard that he was going to spit out the silver taels he had eaten, and he was anxious, "You young people, you are in a hurry, this is all a trivial matter, tomorrow I will ask the villagers to hurry up and get the land right, that is, I can't help the matter of the water source." ”

"Uncle, rest assured, the water source is solved."

"Solved?"

"Yes, the prince asked the officers and soldiers to bring in the river from another mountain, and there is no problem for the time being."

"Just solved the irrigation of the fields?" Wang Li was listening carefully, and when he heard half of it wrong, he hurriedly asked.

Xu Xiaoxiao showed ignorance and nodded again and again, "Yes, didn't you ask about irrigation?" ”

The disappointed Wang Lizheng couldn't say it clearly, so he could only eat coptis dumbly and smiled helplessly, "That's good, that's good." ”

He squeezed out a stiff smile and drank the tea, only to feel that the water in the teacup was a little bitter.

After settling Wang Lizheng's matter, Xu Xiaoxiao led Wang Duo away, and Wang Er, who was guarding the door, waited for the two of them, and hurriedly asked after seeing the two come out.

"How's it going?"

Wang Duo showed a smug smile, "Can a little horse be done?" ”

After Wang Er found out, he also informed Xu Xiaoxiao of Wang Xiaohua's matter.

Several people decided to go back to the old house to discuss the next countermeasures.

Early the next morning, Wang Li was leading the villagers to the back mountain, and everyone only worked hard after knowing that the cotton fields were under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Wang Duo needed to lead troops to patrol, so he left Wangjia Village early.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the villagers who were working hard and smiled with satisfaction, while Liu Qiaoer and Wang Xiaohua were preparing to eat for the villagers.

Time flies, and soon a week passes, the speed of cotton production is extremely fast, and Xu Xiaoxiao sneaked into the mountains in the middle of the night to irrigate the cotton field, and the cotton in the field ushered in a bumper harvest.

The villagers have no water for several days, and they rely on the supply of Wang Xiaohua and Liu Qiao'er for food and drink, but only those who work have food, and many people of all ages take the initiative to invite Ying to come over to work.

The fields were full of people who came to sign up for work, Liu Qiaoer commanded everyone to line up to sign up, and Xu Xiaoxiao assigned jobs on the side.

The older ones were arranged to pick cotton in a nearby area, while the younger ones were arranged to pick cotton in a farther field.

The woman who knows how to cook follows Wang Xiaohua and Liu Qiaoer to stir-fry and cook, and the forced man arranges to build a temporary kitchen.

The sudden increase in the number of people also required the expansion of temporary kitchens and dining points.

Xu Xiaoxiao asked the villagers to cut the master from the bamboo forest to build a shed, and then asked Wang Er to move the newly made furniture to be used as a dining table.

Wang Er looked at the small scale of the field, and was blinded, he and several brothers rushed to make the furniture arranged by Xu Xiaoxiao at home, and prepared to move the semi-processed furniture to Wang Xiaohua's old house for processing again according to Xu Xiaoxiao's arrangement.

But I didn't expect to move directly to the field, and such a big change has taken place in just a few days.

"Little Miss, do you still need to continue to pretend about the textile factory?" Wang Er was at a loss for the current change.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't expect things to progress to this point, completely contrary to her previous plan, "Forget it, don't squeak first, just treat these as textile factory furniture." ”

"Okay." Wang Er has always been strict-mouthed, and quietly helped carry the furniture after knowing that he couldn't make a noise.

With the help of the village, the progress of picking cotton was much faster for several days, and a large amount of cotton was transported to the threshing field, where the women in charge of removing the seeds gathered around to talk and laugh while chatting.

Everyone is very satisfied with their current life, eating and working together, every day is very fulfilling, and it is much better than not daring to sleep at home before.

"So, we have to cherish our blessings and work hard."

"That's right, I think that little girl is a lucky star, and she has pulled up the tumors in the village one after another since she came."

"Yes, I'm very satisfied anyway, I heard that I will be paid tomorrow."

"Really, fake."

"Really, really, I listened to Wang Xiaohua."

Wang Xiaohua, who was directing the villagers to carry cotton from the cart, appeared right behind the woman.

Yang also sat among the women, and after hearing the woman mention the remuneration, she happened to see Wang Xiaohua passing by them, and she hurriedly asked, "Xiaohua, I heard that the remuneration will be paid tomorrow, do you have all the work?" ”

The rest of the women hurriedly tried to stop Yang's words, they were originally here for a mouthful of food, but they didn't think about taking money.

Everyone just said that they were happy, but they didn't expect this person to say it.

Seeing that she couldn't stop it, the woman simply moved the stool and wanted to stay away from Yang.

Wang Xiaohua heard someone shouting to herself, looking for a voice, and saw Yang greeting her with a smile, completely losing her arrogance in the past.

"Yes, there's a job."

When Yang heard this, he only patted his thigh excitedly, "What do I say, the shopkeeper Xu won't let us do it in vain." ”

The women on the side also hugged each other excitedly when they heard this, they were originally like eating together, but they didn't expect to have money to take it, this is a blessed star from heaven.
