"Wenlong's father, look who's coming." Mrs. Lin shouted excitedly into the yamen.

"Coming, coming, shouting!" Master Lin ran out of the lobby and said happily when he saw Ye Sanniang, "Mrs. Ye, why are you here?" "Arched his hand.

"I'll come out and have a look when I'm done with the work in the field." Ye Sanniang looked at them with crooked eyebrows and said, their complexions are worlds different from last year, sweeping away last year's twilight, and now they are full of vitality and energy.

"Come in, come in, come down." Lord Lin said enthusiastically, "Wenlong, mother, I'm cooking two dishes." ”

"Hey!" Mrs. Lin happily replied.

"No, no, I'll go to the inn in a moment." Ye Sanniang hurriedly waved her hand, afraid of increasing their burden.

"How do you dislike our coarse tea and light rice." Lord Lin said with a straight face.

"Alright! All right! Ye Sanniang said helplessly, "I'll stay, thank you for your hospitality in advance." ”

"Thanks for what? We're afraid we're going to run out of hospitality. Lord Lin looked at her gently and said, "Please come in, please come in." ”

Ye Sanniang followed them through the lobby and into the back office.

She hasn't been here yet, it's a typical farmhouse, and there are a few Luhua chickens, calling!

Compared with the magnificent state yamen with a garden, the back office of this county government is simply shabby and incomparable.

"Please sit in the room." Lord Lin personally picked up the curtain made of rags and watched Ye Sanniang step into the room, and then followed into the room.

Ye Sanniang glanced at the main hall, there were landscape ink paintings hanging on the wall of the main hall, and below the painting was a case, with a tablet.

On the left and right of the table is a large vase of magpie dengmei, one of which has a brightly colored feather duster inserted in it.

The Eight Immortals table in front of the table is wood-colored, only brushed with a layer of tung oil, and there are circle chairs on the left and right sides.

In the center of the hall is a round table and four drum stools, all of which are made of wood.

Ye Sanniang looks concise and bright, and she is quite comfortable.

"Sit, sit!" Lord Lin pointed to the circle chair next to the table of the Eight Immortals.

After Ye Sanniang sat down with Lord Lin, she put the big burden of occupying most of the Eight Immortals Table on it.

"What are you?" Lord Lin looked at the big burden blocking his vision in front of him and said.

"It's a gift for you, cotton, bounced." Ye Sanniang directly unwrapped the burden to reveal the fluffy white flowers and cotton said, "When the core makes winter clothes, keep out the cold." ”

"So much, but it's not old or young!" Lin Wenlong looked at her with round eyes and said, "In our county, there is no price in the market, and you can't buy it." ”

"It's too precious." Lord Lin waved his hand and refused, "Can't accept it, can't accept it." ”

"Can't I harvest what I grew myself?" Ye Sanniang looked at them lightly and said.

"Grow your own?" Mrs. Lin came in with tea, and looked at the cotton on the table of the Eight Immortals, her eyes were round, and her face was incredible.

"So surprised to do what?" Ye Sanniang looked at them amusedly and said.

"I think about it, Lord Lu is under his jurisdiction, and there are a lot of cotton growers." Lord Lin looked at her with wide eyes and said.

"Yes!" Ye Sanniang looked at them with crooked eyebrows and said, "Cotton is a good thing, of course I planted it." ”

"Then you planted it for your own use, it's not appropriate for us." Lord Lin shook his head slightly.

"I've planted a lot!" Ye Sanniang looked at them funny and said, "Tens of thousands of catties of cotton, can I still lack cotton?" ”

"Hiss......" The father and son of the Lin family gasped.

"I'm a good girl, how much does this cost!" Lin Wenlong sat on the drum stool with his buttocks, his eyes straight.

"A few hundred taels of silver!" Ye Sanniang said vaguely.

It's actually a lot more than that.

"The cotton we have here has been sold for twenty or thirty yuan a pound, which is more expensive than pork." Lord Lin couldn't help but stammer, "I can't buy it if I don't have a little relationship." ”

"It's so expensive, the cotton I grew was sold to the government office, and at that time, it cost ten cents a catty, and the price was already very high." Ye Sanniang's clear eyes looked at them and said.

"You sold it to the government." Lord Lin said in surprise.

"Yes! When we were planting cotton, the government specially arranged for Master Li, who knew how to farm, to guide us on how to farm. Ye Sanniang looked at them with dark jade eyes and said.

"You sold at a loss, and now the selling price has doubled or tripled." Lin Wenlong said regretfully.

"Even if I knew, I wouldn't sell it to a private person, so as to disrupt the market price." Ye Sanniang's deep and translucent eyes looked at them and said, "Hoarding, driving up prices, profiteers!" Seriously, he added, "Be a man with a conscience." ”

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have been staring at the price." Lin Wenlong stood up and bowed his hand.

"Everyone loves silver, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Cotton can be said to be a necessity of life, which must be priced by the imperial court to benefit ordinary people. Ye Sanniang looked at them with clear eyes and said, "You can't let those unscrupulous businessmen do whatever they want. ”

Don't look at the righteousness she said, but it's a pity that the cotton she put into the treasury was also resold.

I didn't expect that outside the state capital, the price of cotton has been speculated so high.

No wonder the Song officials are crazy.

I only hope that Lord Lu will give them strength and bring them to justice as soon as possible.

The father and son of the Lin family looked at Ye Sanniang in awe.

"By the way, is the cotton in Xiangping County so expensive?" Ye Sanniang looked at them in surprise and said.

"Expensive!" Lord Lin nodded heavily, "There is still no price, and you can't buy it." If it gets colder and colder, it is estimated that it will rise. ”

Ye Sanniang sneered in her heart, it is useless to rise to the sky, and she will soon realize what it means to be happy and sad.

"I have enough winter clothes for your family to make bedding." Ye Sanniang patted the cotton that the swollen Eight Immortals Table couldn't hold.

"It's not enough to have it at home." Ye Sanniang smiled and said.

"Enough, enough." Lord Lin hurriedly said, looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you! ”

"What's polite with me?" Ye Sanniang chuckled and pointed to the cotton on the table of the Eight Immortals and said, "That...... Can you take it away first? Blocking the view. ”

"Oooh!" Lord Lin hurriedly stood up, and with his son, he pulled the four corners of the burden and rewrapped it.

"Carry it to the kang in the back room first." Lord Lin, father and son, lifted up, almost not being twisted to their waists.

"Put it down, let it go, why is it so heavy! I looked at the soft one and thought it was very light. Lin Wenlong looked at Ye Sanniang and said, "Aunt Ye, I see that you are carrying it very easily." ”

"Uh......" Ye Sanniang was stunned when she heard this, and then said, "My strength is greater than the average person." He stood up and said, "Go, I'll carry you in." ”

Together, they carried the cotton into the back room and put it on the kang.
