If you take half of the crops grown in the Zhuangzi and sell them to the barracks after paying the taxes, then the Zhuangzi can only barely make ends meet.

But if you add these domestic animals raised in the Zhuangzi, you can indeed earn a lot of silver taels.

In particular, the pigs raised in the Zhuangzi can not only be sold for money, but also the pig's head, pig's trotters and pig offal, which can be sold at a high price.

Ning Laosan felt that as long as Zhuangzi didn't lose money, it would be fine.

If you make less money, you will make less money, anyway, there is a lo-mei shop opened by your daughter-in-law in the city!

On the day of the cotton picking, not only all the people in the Zhuangzi went out, but also the villagers in the surrounding villages.

Strive to take advantage of the good weather to pick all these cotton bolls within a few days.

Wait until all the cotton bolls in the village are plucked and placed in the house, and the cotton seeds are sorted out, and the cleaned cotton is packed in sacks and transported to the barracks.

Looking at so much snow-white cotton, the mighty general was shocked!

Wu Shuo came in a hurry with his entourage, looking at so much cotton, the surprise on his face was visible to the naked eye.

The soldiers below will have cotton clothes to wear again this winter.

When he learned that Ning Laosan was actually willing to sell this year's newly planted cotton to the barracks cheaply, Wu Shuo's tiger eyes were in tears!

"General Dingyuan, don't worry, this matter will not forget your merits, and you will tell Your Majesty the truth."

If you say, at the beginning, these cotton seeds were firmly controlled by the Ning family.

But when Ning Laosan's cotton was picked, Ning Laosan instructed Wang's that if there were villagers around Zhuangzi who wanted to plant cotton, they were willing to provide cotton seeds for free.

However, in the same way, the cotton grown by those who got the cotton seeds must also be sold to the Ning family.

For this kind of capitalless business, the villagers around Zhuangzi naturally have bright eyes and come to Zhuangzi to ask for cotton seeds.

It's just that when it came to ask for cotton seeds, the Wang family also asked the Li Zheng in the villages around Zhuangzi to come and tell them what the Ning family meant.

Hearing that the master of Zhuangzi's family only had such a small request, he immediately breathed a big sigh of relief.

Knowing that the third master actually gave cotton seeds to the people in the village next to Zhuangzi for free, Liu Hu felt a little violent.

Covering his heart, he asked puzzled.

"Third master, does the county lord know about this matter?"

You know, this cotton seed, but Miss Cheng'er finally found it from far away overseas to honor her.

Ning Laosan glanced at Liu Hu, and then nodded.

"That's naturally what the mother meant."

Hearing the third master say this, Liu Hu could only suppress the heartache in his heart.

Since it was said by the county lord, there must be a reason.

Wu Shuo carefully wrote down the matter of Ning Laosan selling the cotton and grain grown in the Zhuangzi to the military camp at a low price, and sent it to His Majesty's desk.

Looking at the folds in his hand, Emperor Tianxi sighed after reading it.

"I am so fortunate to have such a subject!"

The next day, when the courtiers learned the news again, many couldn't help but grit their teeth secretly.

Originally, because of this cotton, the interests of many families suffered greatly.

But among the family, there are also those wise people.

Since this cotton is so good, it must prove profitable.

When these families were preparing to plant this cotton on a large scale, they spent a lot of silver.

Originally, I planned to make a lot of money when the cotton harvest next year came.

It's good now, the things written in the recital on the north side of the Saibei side directly took the silver they invested in before, not to mention all the money, but at least they can't make a few dollars!

If you don't lose money, you probably have to laugh.

After all, the Ning family actually put this technology of how to grow cotton, and as long as those ordinary people want to learn how to plant, they will provide cotton seeds and how to plant for free.

In this day, many people's study rooms in the capital have been smashed.

Ning Laosan used his strength to bring another wave of hatred to his family.

For this cotton, Ning Pengpeng didn't think that this kind of technology could be hidden for a long time.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the alien tribes outside Saibei will definitely learn seeds and techniques from the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, when Ning Laosan wrote a letter to Ning Pengpeng, saying that he wanted to exchange for a war horse of a different race, he didn't know if he would suffer a loss if he exchanged cotton seeds.

After Ning Pengpeng thought about it, he wrote a letter to the capital.

When Pei Yan received the letter from the county lord of Shouning, it was a little strange.

After opening it and looking at it, he pondered for a moment and then went into the palace to find the emperor.

Emperor Tianxi took the letter written by the county lord of Shouning to Pei Yan, and after reading it in three or two lines, he asked Pei Yan with a frown.

"Sir, what the county lord of Shouning said is feasible?"

After all, home-grown cotton has not yet been popularized nationwide!

If people of different races preemptively plant this cotton so that they can wear warmth, will it have an impact on the frontier of the Great Jin Dynasty?

"There are pros and cons to this matter.

However, Your Majesty, in the end, this matter is actually as the county lord of Shouning said, I am afraid it cannot be prevented. ”

Pei Yan arched his hand and said what he thought.

There is no unventilated wall in the world, not to mention, if these aliens knew that there was such a thing as cotton in the Great Jin Dynasty, they would not easily give up the heart of inquiry.

For example, the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn that were planted before, according to the secret agent, some people in the alien tribe have already started planting!

It's just that those aliens are used to migrating so that cattle and sheep can eat fatter grass.

Therefore, there are not many tribes that plant.

However, Emperor Tianxi felt that it was because the alien tribes had not yet perceived the difference and benefits.

If they were aware of it, they would all of these alien tribes start planting.

However, Emperor Tianxi also had some troubles.

Because he is very conflicted, if the alien tribe can really grow these crops and no longer go hungry, will it not run to the grass valley outside the city of Saibei because of the lack of food?

But, it's the same.

If these alien tribes are not short of food, they will inevitably begin to grow stronger in the future.

When that time comes, these alien tribes will be the biggest hidden danger of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, after Tianxi Emperor thought about it, he directly sent a secret letter to Ning Laosan.

In the letter, it was clearly stated that the War Horse Great Jin Dynasty needed.

But in the same way, the seeds and planting techniques of this cotton cannot be revealed to foreign tribes.

Ning Laosan didn't expect that his mother would actually tell His Majesty what he thought.

Then when he saw clearly what His Majesty said, he couldn't help but sigh and suppressed his original intention of exchanging cotton seeds for war horses.

Since His Majesty has refused, if he does this again, he will be accused of being a foreign enemy.

Fortunately, he only told his mother about this idea.

Now, one more of His Majesty knows.

Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
