The cotton and cotton clothes produced in Xixian County soon went through overseas merchant ships and began to drift across the sea, cotton, a plant produced in the Western Regions, shined under Pei Qing's hands, thick and warm cotton clothes and cotton products were very popular, and the surrounding small countries sought to buy high-yield cotton seeds.

The profit from buying cotton seeds alone made Pei Qing earn 500,000 taels in an instant.

With sufficient money, the high-yielding varieties of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes are also exchanged from the system and put into the farmland for planting.

Soon, not only the ten counties within the state where the former county is located, but also the owners of all the lands in the fifty counties in the two states next to them were crazy, but because of the king of Dingbei in charge, plus Pei Qing's own title of county lord, none of them dared to rob the former county, and they could only honestly pay for cotton seeds, and the money gathered to the county lord's mansion like flowing water.

At the end of the year, the accounts were counted, and cotton was harvested at two million taels of silver, textiles and dolls at one and a half million taels of silver, potatoes, corn and sweet potato seeds with three million taels of silver, and soybean seeds and soybean oil with five hundred thousand taels of silver...... There was also glass, soap, lacquerware, finished cement, etc., etc., which brought her a total income of 10 million taels of silver.

And the income of the entire imperial court for a whole year did not reach half of her income.

By the next year, a total of three states and six or ten counties joined the Cotton Association, the shareholders of the association were all over all levels, and all the northern territories were affected by the county lord's mansion, and the beneficiaries reached hundreds of thousands, Pei Qing's prestige reached a terrifying height, which directly led to the fact that within the scope of his control, the speed of improving the people's intelligence increased several times, and prodigies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

"Have you heard, those people who have just surrendered to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom have just learned the language of our country, and now they are all able to participate in the imperial examination, and they are learning too fast, right?"

"In the past, the county was not called the imperial examination, it was called the secondary examination, it was a special imperial examination for the county lord's mother to select talents, and those who passed must at least graduate from junior high school!"

"Oh my God, I've just finished my first grade schoolwork, when will I graduate from junior high school?"

"Silly, my son has graduated from junior high school and is twenty years younger than you! He was directly recruited by the county lord's mansion. ”

"What's your house? What kind of shit luck is this? Hurry up and treat yourself! ”

"What's so strange about a boy being specially recruited? It is said that her mother washed diapers in the nursery, but she was very competitive, and she read books amazingly fast, and completed the homework of others for ten years in three years! ”

"Who are those people in Xixian County? It's all the gods in the sky who came down to earth, right? ”

In the mouth of the people to talk about it, the ten-year-old girl is Zhang Xiaomei, her mother is Zhang sister-in-law, father Zhang Laosan, her outstanding ability in arithmetic attracted the attention of Yang Gongzi, who was in charge of auditing, and specially recruited her into the audit department, and he personally taught her mathematics.

In order not to let other things distract the genius, Pei Qing began to advocate streamlining clothes, cutting hair short, controlling cosmetics sales, and replacing all the shops around the genius with bookstores.

Compared with the prosperous situation on her side, the entire court is a little gloomy, because the emperor plans to abolish the crown prince again, and looking at his strength, the emperor is afraid of him every day.

The emperor even felt sorry for the child lost by Princess Rui to his personal eunuch, thinking that he should be a talented person worthy of the royal responsibility, but he was killed by the brutal King Dingbei.

In order to consume the power of the crown prince, the emperor decided to tour the north, and in the name of inspecting the people's bank, he went to the former county.

After pacifying the northern frontier, the imperial court's henchmen have been eliminated, and the emperor is now complacent and wants to go down in history.

Then the officials on the road did what they liked, and kept offering all kinds of novelty playthings, most of which were produced in the former county, and there was a one-person high glazed pagoda, which made the emperor love it and marveled at the exquisite craftsmanship of the former county.

In order to enjoy these treasures, the emperor delayed on the road for a long time, and when he arrived in Xixian County, it was already late autumn.

Because the weather in the Northland was very cold, they had to speed up the process and arrived at the Xixian County Lord's Mansion before dark.

However, it was not the county lord who greeted them, but the king of Dingbei.

When facing the emperor, King Dingbei slowly took off his mask.

The emperor exclaimed at the first sight of him: "Seventeen Lang, why are you?" Aren't you dead? ”

The handsome King Dingbei's face was very flat, and he replied slowly: "Your Majesty, you have recognized the wrong person."

As a result, the emperor started a fire that night, and dreamed that the seventeenth son of the emperor who had been buried in the tomb drilled out of the ground to ask for his life, and the king of Dingbei, who looked like him, looked at him coldly and raised the silver spear in his hand.

The emperor screamed and woke up from his dream, he was burning very badly, so he had to call the personal eunuch Lao Wang: "Hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

However, he did not wait for the imperial doctor, but what he was waiting for was the king of Dingbei who was dressed in a dignified suit.

"Don't come here! Tell him not to come! The Emperor screamed in fright, and kept shrinking back from his bed, but there was nowhere to hide.

King Dingbei stopped beside his bed, looked at him condescendingly, and then said without waves: "Do you still remember the palace maid who sprinkled and swept the palace twenty-five years ago? You forcibly occupied her, and you didn't give her a place, which caused her to die in childbirth, and her children lived in the palace like dogs, no, worse than dogs, like rats, they could only eat rotten food thrown away by others, and drink water from the smelly gutter! ”

The emperor was frightened by the cold momentum on his body, he didn't dare to move, his eyes widened and he was short of breath, and asked in disbelief: "Seventeen Lang, I didn't treat you badly!" No one told me you had such a bad childhood! ”

King Dingbei said lightly: "Of course you don't know, if it weren't for that kid worshipping the chief administrator of the Ouchi beside you as his father-in-law, he wouldn't have had a chance to appear in front of you at all—otherwise, when you found him at the age of eight, how could he be polite and neatly dressed?" He didn't even have a full set of clothes before! ”

The emperor was speechless, looking at King Dingbei in disbelief, and the horror in his eyes gradually faded and went to take his place

is pain: "That's why you have to incarnate as the king of Dingbei and ask for my life?!!"

King Dingbei, who was noble and noble, smiled, and smiled as clear as a cloud: "You think too highly of yourself, are you worthy?" I now have a home of my own, and you are to me like the grass and trees on the side of the road. ”

Seeing King Dingbei stand up indifferently, the emperor shouted anxiously: "I can compensate you-"

The handsome and handsome King Dingbei looked at him with lowered eyes, and said coldly, "Compensation me? Why didn't you just ask when I was eight and a half years old when I was pushed into the frozen lake by a little chamberlain? On the night of the Lantern Festival at the age of nine, someone broke into my dormitory and almost covered me with a pillow, don't you know it? When I was ten years old, the wolf dog raised by the third prince almost bit off my neck, why didn't you even care? Maybe you're tired of me from the bottom of your heart, but it's a pity that I didn't fend for myself as you wanted, but survived until I was killed. But your good sons didn't let me go because I came to a small remote county, for the past few years, I've been assassinated almost every month, and they're annoyed with me, so I simply faked my death and got out as they wanted - from now on, what can you do with me? ”
