"Because it's good!" Ye Sanniang looked at Lord Lu with shining eyes and said, "Didn't the imperial court say that you won't buy good cotton?"

"Acquisition?" Lord Lu was completely confused by her words.

"We planted cotton and sold it to the imperial court!" Ye Sanniang's innocent big eyes blinked at him and said.

"This ......," Lord Lu pursed his lips and looked at her, "This cotton needs to be taxed."

"Gah!" Ye Sanniang looked at him with a confused expression, came back to her senses and looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

She forgot that the current tax is a tax in kind.

Ye Sanniang organized the language and said, "In addition to the taxes paid, do I have a variety of imperial court acquisitions?"

"This ......." Lord Lu looked at her with an embarrassed expression, and said smartly, "Wait a minute, I'll invite Master Li, who is in charge of farming, to answer your questions." Summoned the messenger and invited Master Li.

Master Li's hair has turned gray, his face is carved with traces of time, and he looks like a doer when he looks at his rough big hands.

"Master Li, Ye Sanniang has some questions about cotton, and I hope you can solve her doubts." Lord Lu looked at his subordinates and said softly.

"Yes! Xia Guan will definitely try his best to answer for Mrs. Ye." Master Li arched his hand towards Lord Lu and said seriously.

Ye Sanniang stood up and saluted Master Li, "I want to ask how much tax will be charged after this cotton is planted?"

Lord Li was stunned when he heard this, there are many tax evasions in this way, and it is really rare to rush to pay taxes.

"Is my question difficult? Or the imperial court has not come down with the relevant policies." Ye Sanniang's dark eyes looked at him and asked.

"It's down." Master Li said enthusiastically, "It's just that we haven't planted cotton per acre, so I don't know what the yield is? We really don't know if this tax is more or less. The difference between the cotton grown in the south and the north is not very large, and it is difficult to say. So I can't really tell you if it's heavy or not."

Ye Sanniang said: Thank you, from her words, she knows that Master Li still knows something about cotton, not ignorance.

"Then I have paid taxes, and the rest of the cotton is not only self-sufficient, but I want to sell it to the imperial court, I don't know the price?" Ye Sanniang's dark pupils looked at him and said.

"In this regard, the purchase price of the imperial court is higher than that of grain." Master Li said softly when he heard this.

The price that came out was higher than Ye Sanniang imagined, and growing cotton was very suitable for her who was not short of food.

"Is there a manual for cotton planting?" Ye Sanniang's dark eyes looked at Master Li and said.

"Manual?" Master Li looked at her suspiciously and said.

"When did we plant this cotton when we first came into contact with it? How to plant? Fertilization, weeding, what bugs to recruit, when to harvest? What is the approximate yield per acre? We don't know, do we?" Ye Sanniang looked at him with dark jade eyes and said.

"Yes, yes, there's a detailed list of how to plant it." Master Li smiled when he heard this, it seems that this Mrs. Ye really intends to plant.

"If you want to plant, just go and get the seeds from us, and plant them next spring." Master Li looked at her kindly and said.

"I went, I wanted to plant 500 acres, but he wouldn't give it to me." Ye Sanniang looked at him in embarrassment and said.

"Uh......" Lord Li looked at her like a pins and needles when he heard this, and Lord Lu's eyes made him even more like a man's back, and he quickly explained, "This, maybe because Mrs. Ye wants to plant too much, the people below have to ask us, because this notice is posted, and no one cares." Enthusiastically, he said, "Mrs. Ye really wants to plant so much, I'll go through the formalities for you now and take the seeds away."

"Thank you!" Ye Sanniang stood up and thanked her.

"You're the first person, and we're open, so we should thank you." The listeners of Lord Li's beautiful words were extremely ironed.

"This Mrs. Ye will go later, I have a lot of questions that need Mrs. Ye to solve." Lord Lu hurriedly said, for fear that Ye Sanniang would run away all of a sudden.

Master Li looked at Ye Sanniang cleverly and asked, "Does Mrs. Ye still have any questions?"

"No

, No, thank you, Master Li." Ye Sanniang hurriedly thanked her.

"Farewell to the Lower Officials." Master Li stood up and bowed, and after getting Lord Lu's permission, he retreated.

Ye Sanniang looked at Lord Lu with a puzzled face, wondering what he had done with him?

"What do you mean by that?" Lord Lu struggled in his eyes and said embarrassedly, "There is nothing that cannot be said, that is, the imperial court ordered all state capitals and counties to vigorously plant cotton. But the notice was posted for more than ten days, but no one cared. Why is Mrs. Yip so active?"

Ye Sanniang smiled knowingly when she heard this, "Of course I know the benefits of cotton, it's better than mulberry!" Lord Lu doesn't tell us the benefits of cotton, let the big guy how to farm! As I just asked, in terms of taxes, whether they are high or not, whether they are heavy or not, can we afford them? This cotton is good, but it is not edible after all, and if you plant it, you will grow less food, will it affect your stomach!"

When Lord Lu heard this, he immediately said, "No, no, I still have to plant mulberry hemp every year!" This cotton is such a good thing that the people will not be afraid of the cold winter."

"So! I need everyone to know about its benefits!" Ye Sanniang looked at him with dark eyes and said, "The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!" You've got to shout it out."

"Shout?" Hearing this, Lord Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at her lightly and said.

"Most of the people can't read, and if you don't shout out, who knows?" Ye Sanniang looked at him with a smile and explained.

Lord Lu clasped his hands under the bookcase, his thumb kept turning, who did I show the notices I posted these days!

How did you forget this stubble?

"Thank you, Mrs. Ye, for reminding me." Lord Lu looked at her sincerely and thanked her.

"It can't be done." Ye Sanniang waved her hand and said quickly.

"What do you think of this?" Lord Lu humbly asked for advice.

"I don't know if Lord Lu is willing to accept this method?" Ye Sanniang looked at him with some embarrassment and said.

"Let's talk about it first, shall I listen? I won't blame you." Lord Lu was stunned when he heard this, and said gently in random words.

"It's just beating gongs and drums and going to the villages and towns below to publicize! Explain to the people the benefits of growing cotton." Ye Sanniang's bright eyes looked at him and said unhurriedly, "When the tax collector collects taxes, he goes down to the villages and towns."

The villages and towns were shouting, for fear that the people would forget.

Lord Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "What a good proposal, how can you think that I won't accept it!"

"If only you didn't reprimand me for making a fool of it." Ye Sanniang smiled politely and said, this official master may not be willing.

It's not too easy to accept that the cold window has read hard, and now it's going to deal with mud legs.
