Xiao Tingting put down her cotton clothes, stared at the red-sleeved steward, and was slightly puzzled: "Cotton is very good, very suitable for edges, but whether it is from getting cotton, or already knowing its importance, it makes me very confused."

What is your father-in-law's plan and what are your requirements? If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Xiao Tingting does not believe that there are 'pies' falling from the sky, and often what falls from the sky is not pies, but traps.

The red-sleeved steward had risen and stood gracefully by the window, knowing that no one would believe it, even very suspicious, for no reason.

"Miss Xiao, don't worry, my lord didn't ask for anything, and I don't don't earn money, and then I will open three textile factories in the three border cities to harvest cotton and make cotton cloth."

The red-sleeved steward looked back, and the scars on his face looked so attractive.

"Don't think too much, don't worry too much, everything has a fruit and there must be a cause, and this fruit is your Xiao family's ancestors for generations, using their lives to protect the family and defend the country.

Everyone in the world sees that there are indeed people who do evil in this world, and there are also good people who are silent and good.

The Xiao family is worthy of respect, it is a sentence said by my father-in-law.

But if the people here grow cotton and sell it to me, then I will be very happy! Rest assured, the price I gave was absolutely fair. ”

The red-sleeved steward said these words with a smile, hoping to soothe Miss Xiao's heart.

At the same time, she knew that if she didn't ask for something, Miss Xiao would never accept the cotton seeds.

“……”

Xiao Tingting looked at the red sleeves with straight eyes, as if judging whether what she said was true or false.

In the end, Xiao Tingting was still willing to believe in the red sleeve manager, because she knew about this woman's reputation.

At the same time, she was full of curiosity about the lord behind the red-sleeved steward, what kind of person could say this?

Is it selflessness? Is there another conspiracy?

But it doesn't matter, if there is something else, but the common people will benefit from it.

was calculated, and now Xiao Tingting feels that her family has nothing to be calculated, and there are only two people left in the Xiao family now, just two lives, don't do it.

But could it still be a person who has taken a fancy to the Xiao family's military power?

However, it doesn't matter if the 'lord behind the back' is really eyeing the Xiao family's military power, at least this person is really taking out good things.

Xiao Tingting thanked the red-sleeved steward again, brought everything about cotton, and prepared to go home to see her father!

You can't do this kind of thing alone, you still have to go through Xiao Guogong.

Xiao Guogong's Mansion

When it got dark, Xiao Guogong came out of the barracks and rushed home with a whole team of personal guards.

This is the rule that his daughter has set for him, and every night he must go home for dinner.

Xiao Guogong thought of his daughter's 'delicate' coquettishness, and to be honest, Xiao Guogong wanted to blind his eyes at that time.

It's so frightened, he obviously raised a tigress's daughter, but her daughter's preference is to play a kitten, that is, to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

In the house, there are no flowers and trees, and there are nothing of value.

The most valuable ones are the weapons in the martial arts training ground.

There was still a candle in the front yard, and today it was a very bright spot.

Xiao Guogong sighed in his heart, because every time this kind of light appeared, it meant that his daughter had something important to discuss.

And the important matter is basically just to inform yourself, and if you have any objections, you will not count!

Sure enough, after Xiao Tingting saw her father, she immediately greeted Xianglan: "Hurry up and bring water, serve my father, sit down quickly, I have something important to say after dinner." ”

Xiao Guogong looked at the dishes he liked to eat, and sighed in his heart: Today's situation is not easy to underestimate, or has something big happened?

"Daughter, if you have something, just say it. Your whole scene is too big, and my father can't grasp what kind of trouble you have caused, or what do you want to buy, or what do you want to do..."

Xiao Guogong brainstormed, racking his brains to let his daughter give him a good time, don't make this happen, he really can't stand it.

"Look at what you said, isn't it a matter of honor to you?"

Xiao Tingting's mouth was still quibbling, but the tone of her speech was fast again, and her voice gradually rose.

Xiao Guogong glanced at her calmly, and said calmly: "Tingting, you are anxious, the speed of anger has accelerated, it seems that you are really in a hurry, you can talk about something." ”

"It's okay not to eat this meal, I'm afraid that the price paid for this meal will be relatively large. So you talk about things first, and then I decide whether to eat or not. ”

Xiao Guogong said very firmly, even if he was already hungry, he was not moved at this time.

What else can Xiao Tingting do? Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Xiao Guogong really understands him too well.

"When I was invited out today, I thought I was a vassal climber, but I didn't expect a merchant from out of town to give me a big gift.

It shouldn't be said to be given to me, it should be said to be a big gift to the Xiao family, which we passed on to the local people.

I thought she had a plan, but this woman said that the head of his family just admired the Xiao family, and said that we should rest assured and use it boldly. ”

Xiao Tingting took out the cotton, the cloth made of cotton, and the cotton clothes made of pure cotton.

Even the oil from cotton seeds is the best thing.

Xiao Guogong listened to his daughter, telling what she had seen and heard today and what had happened.

Xiao Guogong's mind was reacting quickly, he had sent someone to check the 'Yuan family' a long time ago, and he also came up with a piece of news.

This person may be a son of the Yuan family in Runan, but he has been expelled from the family.

"Since it's given to us, let's use it first, whether we can grow it or not is another matter."

Xiao Guogong said very calmly, don't just say it with a high-sounding sound, he was moved.

"Okay, listen to my father." Xiao Tingting nodded seriously, but she had a little idea of confiding in her today.

"Daddy, I am a very suspicious person at heart, but her father-in-law's respect for the border army and the Xiao family help me very happy!"

Xiao Tingting is really happy, everything the Xiao family has done, some people remember, and some people know that some people are distressed.

Xiao Guogong was silent, and this kind of remark really moved him very much.

Some people take what the Xiao family did for granted, and even have too much suspicion.

And some people admire it, saying that the Xiao family did the right thing. Worthy of celebrities and heroes through the ages.

There is always a sense of peace of mind, and even if they die on the battlefield now, some people will remember them.

Xiao Guogong and Xiao Tingting sometimes wait for the father and daughter, and they always think deeply in the middle of the night, thinking that what they are doing is right?

What is the value of everything you do?

The Xiao family gave everything, the death of the dead, and the death of the dead, it seems that it is all for the sake of loyalty and filial piety.

Now there is a person saying: 'The Xiao family has done the right thing, they are heroes, and they are worthy of admiration!' ’

The father and daughter in the middle of the night felt that everything that the Xiao family did had been responded to.

Xiao Guogong is willing to give it a try, and if cotton planting is really successful, then the life of the people in the three border cities will be much better.

Xiao Guogong directly asked the Xiao family army to hoard land, reclaim the land in winter, and directly plant cotton in spring.

Xiao Jiajun obeyed the orders of Lord Guogong and did whatever he wanted.

As the weather became colder and colder, Xiao Jiajun found that there was still some benefit to cultivating the land, and their bodies would warm up if they moved and moved every day.

The Xiao family army has nearly 200,000 troops, and the land will be 10,000 mu directly reclaimed, because the land is vast and sparsely populated, and a lot of land is just casually cultivated.

The Xiao family army was directly divided into twelve battalions, with a large number of people and strict military discipline.

In the eighth battalion, a small army commander was cultivating the land with his men.

While reclaiming the land, Liu Hewu followed his subordinates blindly.

"You know what? My third aunt's sixth cousin followed the eldest lady, and I know why the above asked us to open up the land in the cold. ”

Liu Hewu was bragging and hoeing the land with a hoe, which was not an easy way to open up the wasteland, and it was necessary to first remove the stones, clear the weeds on it, and then turn over the land.

Only when the soil is softened can the seeds be laid down next year and planted again.

"Boss, you are really a cow, and there is this kind of relationship, you should quickly tell me why you asked us to reclaim the land!"

"Boss, hurry up, don't hesitate here."

"It must have been for us to farm, because it doesn't rain a few times a year, and it's hard for the crops to survive. Alas, the land planted all year round is not enough to pay taxes ......."

Some people are from local backgrounds, and they have long been accustomed to the fact that it is not easy to grow any food here.

"Shut up and listen to me! How could Xiao Guogong deceive us, there must be a basis for facts. ”

"I know that the seeds they send are called cotton, and they can't be eaten, but they can be sold for money!"

"People say that it is for the sake of the Xiao family to the country and the people, this kind of person does not need money at all, and directly gives it to Xiao Guogong for nothing."

"It is said that in winter, wearing clothes made of cotton and covering them with quilts made of cotton is particularly warm, and it is said that they are unimaginably comfortable......"

"Xiao Guogong is so kind to us, if the cotton is really successfully planted, we will not be frozen in the future."

Liu Hewu carried the hoe on his shoulder, and spit twice on his hand, and began to hoe the ground again.

The little soldiers around him were all excited, yes, if it was really good things that could be grown, Lord Xiao Guogong would definitely not treat his soldiers badly.

This gossip soon spread throughout the barracks, and the news that came out became more and more well-informed and exaggerated.

Of course, Xiao Guogong knew about this, and Gou Junshi even wanted to send someone to directly pull out the rumor-mongers, and put on the 50 big board first.

Gou Junshi really felt that he just didn't see it at a glance, so why did Xiao Guogong suddenly come up with a novel decision.

In the barracks, Xiao Guocheng was nagging by Gou Junshi as if he were reciting a scripture: "Lord Guogong, what will you decide in the future, can you communicate with me in advance, so that I can be prepared." ”

"Look at the current efforts of these soldiers to open up the wasteland, you just need this small bag of cotton seeds, let alone plant 10,000 mu of cotton, which cannot even be planted on 100 mu of land."

"And don't be fooled, you will believe what you tell people? ……”

Gou Junshi was so angry that he gasped for breath, he felt that Xiao Guogong was too naïve, and he fooled him like this when he said a few good words.

Xiao Guogong laughed out loud, and the wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together, but people seemed to be able to see from his laughter a young man who was unscrupulous and galloping.

"Isn't there still you, Strategist, and with you by my side to remind me, I can't do things straightforwardly. Because I know you're there! ”

Xiao Guogong smiled with trust, and Gou Junshi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Gou Junshi: So I'm so important?

Xiao Guogong looked at Gou Junshi, who had passed in a daze, and suddenly realized that he should say more compliments sometimes.
