Chapter 187: Master (Eight Watches)

"I know, she saw it in the book, so now Ye Yanxing and the two brothers came back after reading the Di report." Lord Lu looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "And she said that we are inadequate."

"What's not enough?" Mrs. Lu's long butterfly-like eyelashes trembled lightly, and her watery eyes looked at him and asked.

"You can't just put up a notice! This big guy hasn't grown cotton before, who knows what it is, we have to go out and shout!" Lord Lu picked up the teacup on the table of the Eight Immortals and said.

"It's a little cold, I'll heat it for you." Seeing this, Mrs. Lu hurriedly said.

"That's good." Lord Lu took a big sip, "It's just right to be lukewarm and not hot."

Goo-dong, Goo-dong drank half a cup.

"Shout?" Mrs. Lu's curved willow eyebrows looked at him lightly and said, "How kind of shouting is this, like a merchant? Walk the streets."

"That's right, but it's not a walk through the streets, it's a trip to the village." Lord Lu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I have to tell the farmers the benefits of growing cotton. If you don't know anything about cotton, do you dare to grow it on a large scale? We have to dispel the concerns of the farmers, and we have to teach them how to grow?"

"There are only a few people in the yamen, and they themselves have heard of cotton for the first time, so how can they teach others to grow?" Mrs. Lu said worriedly.

"I wrote down how to grow cotton, printed it, bound it into a booklet, and then sent it to the farmers from house to house." Lord Lu said triumphantly, "This method is okay!"

"No, you can print it, but they can't read." Mrs. Lu hurriedly spoke, "No."

"Uh......" Lord Lu patted his forehead and rubbed it, "Oops! Forget about it." The dark eyes flowed slightly, and his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, yes, let the person in charge of farming go to each village next spring to guide."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu looked at him with starry eyes and said, "This old man is willing to go."

"Lao Tzu personally went down, and they still dared to stay in the yamen." Lord Lu straightened up, patted the table, looked at her, and said with a straight face.

"So you have to learn how to grow cotton." Mrs. Lu looked at him in surprise and said.

"Hmm! I don't believe it, I can't do it." Lord Lu said confidently, "There is still half a year before the beginning of spring next year! I can definitely learn."

"I didn't pour cold water on you." Mrs. Lu frowned lightly and looked at him and said.

"What's wrong?" Lord Lu looked at her suspiciously and asked.

"You go down to the field to advise, I'm afraid you will scare people." Mrs. Lu's bright apricot eyes looked at him and said worriedly, "It's the old man standing in front of them, who has to be offered, and the delicious food and drink are entertained, lest they be greeted inappropriately. You're here to guide! I still sent a master over." looked at him with a sinking face and said, "In case this person is misbehaving and causes some amorous affairs, it will be worse!"

"Madame's right to warn!" Lord Lu thought about it seriously, looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Let them bring their own dry food, the road is too far, give money!" Dare to provoke other girls, and make a dewy marriage for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will let them get out! Lao Tzu let them go down to plant cotton seriously, not to let them be powerful."

Mrs. Lu shook her head and laughed when she heard this, "Really? I'm afraid that few people are willing to go, and they have worked so hard to jump out of the countryside and now go back to grow cotton."

"It's okay, someone is willing to go, there is a reward for going, if you don't go, hum......" Lord Lu looked at her with a cold look in his eyes and said, "Wait to be cleaned up!"

"You're so interested in cotton?" Mrs. Lu looked at him with doubtful eyes and said.

"You know that if this thing is planted, the brothers won't be freezing when they go to the grassland." Lord Lu looked at her excitedly and said, "The large area of land over there in Liaodong can also grow things."

Mrs. Lu looked at him with adoration in her eyes and said, "I see!"

"But will this kind of thing meet your requirements?" Mrs. Lu said with some concern, "That's going to take a lot of cotton."

"That's why I was in a hurry the other day! They don't want to plant, and it's really delaying." Lord Lu looked at her with a frown and said.

"I remember that when His Majesty didn't fight in the north, he started planting cotton, why is it not enough?" Mrs. Lu suddenly remembered.

"Those bastards, they like silkworms more than cotton." Lord Lu looked at her with a dark face and said.

"Understood." Mrs. Lu said with a displeased face when she heard this, "Back then, Your Majesty raised troops, and most of the military salaries were raised from the Jiangnan family, who controlled a lot of land and were not active in planting cotton."

"Yes!" Lord Lu frowned and nodded, "And because of wars, plagues, and a large amount of ownerless land in the north, the land was directly distributed to the peasants, so what to plant?" It's a lot easier than in the south."

"Easy?" Mrs. Lu looked at him with apricot eyes and smiled bitterly, "You were still sad two days ago! Where is it easy."

"That's because I thought about the problem too simply, I didn't do it at home, so that the farmers have no worries, and they can still make money, they don't have so many worries, and they will rob the first seed." Lord Lu looked at her confidently and said.

"Is it as easy as you think?" Mrs. Lu was not as optimistic as him, "What if it doesn't work out! Are you going to force them to grow cotton? It's not good."

"I don't know." Lord Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's do what we need to do first, I hope they are positive!" Picked up the teapot and added some water to himself, "Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven!"

"It's not like you." Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows and looked at her lightly and said.

"They are the people, not my soldiers, who are forbidden by command, and they are not enemies, and they may be compelled against them." Lord Lu suppressed his anger and said, "Didn't you say that you should love the people like sons?"

"Then if this kid is disobedient, does he have to be beaten, beaten!" Mrs. Lu looked at him lightly and said.

Lord Lu thought about it seriously, but still shook his head and said, "No, it's only been two years since I took the north, so I can't do this?" The north has been occupied by the steppes for too long, and the attitude is tough, and I am afraid that it will backfire."

"Okay! Let's try to shout and drink it first!" Mrs. Lu had no choice but to say.

"When is it time to eat?" Lord Lu raised his eyes to look at her and asked.

"Right now!" Mrs. Lu said with a smile, looking at him in an official uniform and said, "You don't change your clothes."

"Change!" Lord Lu followed her into the bedroom, changed out of her official clothes, and put on her regular clothes!

But Master Li, who was in charge of farming, was very happy, and he was busy all morning, registering one by one, taking away the seeds, and when the spring came, they would personally go to the field to teach cotton planting.
