Chapter 295 Tianmen County Cotton Farmers Association
In the dead of night, the moonlight is charming.A fox whose whole body seems to be forged from white jade is spitting at the moon.

After she groaned for a while, she suddenly became disheartened.Then he said to the moon: "Moon moon, how can I please that person, and drink Hebei wine with him."

In the dead of night, it was the time for the girl to express her thoughts, all her troubles and sorrows were told to the moon.

Just as she was speaking these private words, a voice suddenly came in.

"I don't know when you will be able to drink your Hebei wine, but someone's Heyi wine may be drunk tonight!"

When the fox heard this, his face blushed, and he pretended to say: "Eavesdropping on other people's conversation is not what a serious woman does!"

Hearing this, Hu Jingmo walked out from the darkness, then looked at Hu Susu and smiled.

But Hu Susu asked lightly: "What did you mean by that sentence just now?"

Hu Jingmo said, "Just now, my husband, Zhang Wei, entered the room of Miss Chen's family. In the middle of the night, there are lonely men and widows again. I'm worried..."

Hearing this, Hu Susu immediately turned into a human form, and then said anxiously: "Your husband has entered other people's boudoir, if you don't stop it, why are you here?!"

Hu Jingmo sighed, pretending to be helpless and pitiful, and said: "This man went to another woman's boudoir in the middle of the night, what do you want me to do? Go up and kick the door open? Then drag him out, and then beat that woman up?"

"Don't be stupid, if I do this, tomorrow the whole city will see the jokes of our family. It will also give me a reputation for being jealous."

"Originally when we married my husband, there were many slanderous rumors. Wouldn't this be more true?"

When she said this, there was a hint of helplessness on her face.

When Hu Susu heard this, she felt helpless, more anxious.

This carelessness made Chen Zhirui take the lead!

At that moment, her vixen essence was revealed.She glared at Hu Jingmo and said, "I understand what you mean, it's inconvenient for you, just let me go!"

Hu Jingmo smiled and said nothing, what she meant was, just ask you if you want to go!
Hu Susu gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, opened the door and rushed out, towards Chen Zhirui's courtyard.

Hu Jingmo, on the other hand, laughed, revealing her cunning.

At this moment, Zhang Wei was sitting in Chen Zhirui's room with his chest straight.The light of the oil lamp was not on, and Chen Zhirui did not light a bright candle.

Dim lights, shining a bit ambiguous and hazy.Zhang Wei couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Are you thirsty? With the smell of alcohol, I'm afraid you want to drink water." Chen Zhirui smelled the smell of Zhang Wei's body. This practitioner can sober up quickly, but the smell of alcohol on his body does not dissipate quickly.

She stretched out her white and tender little hand, opened the teapot and teacup on the table, and poured Zhang Wei a glass of water.

Bai Huahua's small hands dangled in front of Zhang Wei, and while she got up to pour tea, her cloak fluttered, revealing her skin.It's so dazzling.

The skin is like curd fat and the body is like jade, looking forward to others.The yellow light shines on the beauty mirror, and the moonlight is difficult to calm the scholar's love.

At this moment, Zhang Wei felt the urge to hold her in his arms.

So, his hand grabbed Chen Zhirui's hand by mistake.

Chen Zhirui was slightly taken aback, but did not break free from his hand.Her heart was beating so fast that it was indescribable.

Just when Zhang Wei was about to take the next step.

There's that damned knock on the door!
This knock on the door, like spring thunder from the sky, swept away all the charming emotions in the room.

Just as Zhang Wei wanted to answer, a pair of limp little hands covered his mouth, and Chen Zhirui shook his head at him.

Zhang Wei didn't dare to say anything.

He also realized that it was not good to be seen in the middle of the night.

Chen Zhirui also held her breath and did not speak.However, the faint light on the table still betrayed them.

"Sister Chen, you don't have to pretend, I know you haven't slept, and your lights haven't been turned off yet!" Hu Susu's voice came from outside.

If it is not sure that Zhang Wei is inside, what if there are lights inside?If no one answers, you should walk away wisely!

But today's Hu Susu is here to disrupt the situation, and he will wear his clothes for me if he takes them off!rise!Come!
Chen Zhirui was helpless, and then felt a little guilty, so he pulled Zhang Wei and hid Zhang Wei behind the screen.

Zhang Wei whispered helplessly: "It's not necessary, it makes me seem to be having an affair..."

Chen Zhirui glared at him, but threatened him: "Don't worry too much! I didn't tell you, so don't come out! Don't reveal your secrets!"

If it weren't for the agreement between her and Hu Susu that would be broken at any time, she would not have hidden Zhang Wei!

What happened last time has made their boat of friendship crumbling. If Hu Susu sees Zhang Wei, the boat will definitely capsize!

Zhang Wei had no choice but to hide here obediently.Behind this screen is Chen Zhirui's tub for bathing, and next to it are the changed clothes, and there is no place to sit.

Chen Zhirui gave him a stern look, and then went to open the door.

The door opened, and Hu Susu stood outside with a half-smile.Chen Zhirui said calmly: "Sister Susu came here so late, is there something wrong?"

Hu Susu nodded and squeezed in immediately.

Chen Zhirui originally wanted to stop her, but after all, she was not as energetic as a fox, so she was immediately pushed back a few steps, allowing Hu Susu to walk in.

After Hu Susu came in, he immediately glanced at the bed.

The bed was clean, it didn't look like someone had rolled over it.Then she looked at the table, and then saw the cup of tea.

really!Sure enough, Zhang Wei is here!
At this moment, no matter what kind of woman she is, her reasoning ability has greatly increased, approaching that of a great detective!

Hu Susu looked at her, suddenly smiled and said, "I accidentally wet my bed, can I sleep with you tonight?"

This clumsy excuse made Chen Zhirui's mouth twitch.

"The bed is wet, you can ask someone to change it." Chen Zhirui said lightly.

"It's so late, I don't want to trouble my servant." Hu Susu said with a smile.

Neither of the two women is willing to give in.

The two sides looked at each other for a while, and Chen Zhirui finally understood, she said directly: "All right, just tell me what you want to do?"

Hu Susu smiled and said, "In that case, let Master Zhang come out."

Hearing this, Chen Zhirui's heart skipped a beat, then his eyes drifted away, and he said with some guilt: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Hehe, is that so?" Hu Susu sneered, then shook her hand.The screen immediately closed with a 'snap'.

Zhang Wei standing behind was exposed.

This is embarrassing!

This screen is really to prevent gentlemen but not women!

Now that the matter has come to this point, Chen Zhirui has nothing to do.Two women and one man sat at the table and stared at each other.

Zhang Wei coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I came to discuss some matters with Zhirui."

Hu Susu sneered, and glanced at Chen Zhirui, her eyes were full of temptation.This is to discuss things?
With Hu Susu's joining, Zhang Wei's mood calmed down a bit.He said: "The new magistrate Guo Chun intends to move the cotton spinning workshops in our county and restrict our development of cotton spinning business."

As soon as his words came out, Chen Zhirui immediately frowned and began to think about it.

Hu Susu blinked his eyes, not knowing these things for a while.

Hu Susu is different from Chen Zhirui. Chen Zhirui is Zhang Wei's right-hand man at work, who can point out current problems and make suggestions.But Hu Susu is actually better at managing internal affairs, which she learned from managing the Jinhua Popo Temple for more than a hundred years.

Chen Zhirui thought for a while, and said, "This new magistrate is most likely here to suppress Brother Zhang. But why?"

Zhang Wei told Chen Zhirui, "This matter needs to be discussed with Lord Taishan!"

"Master Taishan?" Both women said in surprise.

"Well, I recently broke up with Lord Taishan. Because he wanted to marry his daughter to me, but I didn't agree." Zhang Wei said honestly.

Hearing this, the two women's eyes widened even more, and they became angry immediately!

"This Lord Taishan is too deceitful. In this world, is there anyone who forcibly marries a daughter?" Hu Susu cursed angrily.

Chen Zhirui was also very angry, but then she thought, if this trick worked, she would have married Zhang Wei back then, and it would be the turn of those three vixens?

Chen Zhirui sneered and said, "Brother Zhang, don't be afraid, our Tianmen County is not under the jurisdiction of the Suzhou government, and he doesn't have the right to order us to transfer our property!"

Zhang Wei nodded, he also understood this truth, but he was afraid that the visitor would be unkind!
The two discussed for a while, came up with some strategies, and then everyone heard a cock crow.

When the cock crowed, it was not long before dawn.

Zhang Wei immediately said: "It's so late after talking, you should hurry up and rest, I'll go back first."

The two women nodded, it's okay if they don't say anything, Chen Zhirui is really sleepy after saying this.

Zhang Wei bid farewell and left.But Hu Susu stayed.

Chen Zhirui secretly felt something was wrong, and immediately yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep. Susu, won't you go?"

Hu Susu sneered: "When you feel ashamed, call me sister Susu. When you are about to throw it away, call me Susu. You are really a ruthless woman!"

Chen Zhirui blushed, and said stiffly: "I don't know what you are talking about, I am really sleepy, I am going to sleep!"

Hu Susu smiled and said, "I'm sleepy too, so I'll sleep with you."

Chen Zhirui's face froze, and he said unnaturally: "I'm not used to sleeping with other people."

Hu Susu was immediately unhappy.

"If you don't like sleeping with other people, you want to sleep with Zhang Wei, right? Let me tell you, we are allies, you are stealing!"

"From today onwards, I will live with you! No one can steal it!" Hu Susu issued an ultimatum!

"Ah!" Chen Zhirui turned pale with shock!

........................................................................

Tongjin 26 years, February 22nd.It has not been many days since Tianmen County has completely thawed and started planting.

People in Tianmen County are plowing the land deeply, preparing various seeds such as cotton seeds and wheat seeds, and making final preparations.

Chen Zhirui, who was working in the county government office, suddenly saw a message in his hand.She shrank her eyes, and then called the scribes beside her and asked, "Is this true?"

The scribe looked at the message in Chen Zhirui's hand, and said, "Return to Miss, it's true."

The news in hand is a notice posted by the Suzhou government, saying that Master Guo Chun, the prefect of the Suzhou government, began to recruit experienced cotton field growers and cotton spinning workshop operators, and posted a large number of preferential policies.

Seeing this, Chen Zhirui frowned.The clerk under his hand said: "Go to the master's mansion and invite Miss Hu Susu over."

After hearing this, the scribe left in response.

Soon after, Hu Susu, dressed in white, came to the county government office and said to Chen Zhirui, "Why did you call me here? I'm watering the gourd vines at home."

Originally, Chen Zhirui did the watering, but Chen Zhirui was too busy, so he handed over the matter to Hu Susu, who had nothing to do.

Chen Zhirui then said: "Don't worry about that gourd vine! I have something for you to do now, will you do it?"

Hu Susu asked curiously, "Is there anything for me to do?"

Chen Zhirui said: "Brother Zhang wants to help Suzhou Prefecture build water canals, but this matter cannot be done by me and Brother Zhang, or even by the three sisters. It can only be done by you, are you willing?"

Helping Suzhou Prefecture to build water conservancy projects cannot be done by Zhang Wei, who is the magistrate of Tianmen County, nor by Chen Zhirui, who represents the county government, nor by Zhang Wei's three wives.It can't even be done by the Zhang family who has a relationship with Zhang Wei.

Because if they did it, it would be Zhang Wei interfering in other people's internal affairs!

Therefore, it is necessary to have someone who has nothing to do with Zhang Wei to do this.This 'no relationship' person is of course Hu Susu the most suitable!
Talking about this with Hu Susu, Hu Susu agreed without thinking, and said, "Yes, of course I can do it."

Of course she is willing to do anything that can help Zhang Wei.

Isn't it the establishment of the 'Tianmen County Cotton Land Reclamation Association'? She is very good at this kind of thing.After all, she has been the first temple congratulator for hundreds of years!

The 'Tianmen County Cotton Land Reclamation Association' is apparently a guild composed of various large cotton farmers, cotton spinning workshops, and even cotton fabric merchants in Tianmen County. It specializes in supporting the cotton industry in various places and then making profits here.

In modern terms, this is a cotton industry investment fund.

Supporting the water conservancy project in Suzhou Prefecture, and then using this water conservancy project to transform the wilderness into cotton fields, this is what Zhang Wei promised Feng Mao, and it is also what Zhang Wei wants to implement.

It is not easy to implement it by means of the county government. What is needed is the power of the people and the power of capital.

Therefore, this guild, led by Hu Susu, recruited the guild elites from Tianmen County.The Tianmen County Government will join in with low-interest loans.

When the weather was cold, people from the Zhangjia Workshop had been running around to contact me about this matter.But the Zhang Family Workshop, in the end, only participated in it as a part of the guild.

When Hu Susu took office, he convened the county's workshop owners, cotton farmers and business owners, and held the first meeting.

The meeting unanimously approved the plan to invest in the cotton field project in Suzhou Prefecture.

The plan will be funded by the guild to fund the development of the cotton field water conservancy project in Suzhou Prefecture. When the cotton fields are harvested in the future, half of the harvest will be used as investment rewards and fed back to the guild.This plan is limited to 20 years. 20 years later, all the cotton fields belong to the cotton farmers in Suzhou Prefecture, and the water conservancy projects belong to the cotton farmers in Suzhou Prefecture!
This plan, completely bypassing the Suzhou government office, will be entirely a private investment behavior.

Since Guo Chun wants to suppress Zhang Wei and Tianmen County, then Tianmen County will preemptively take the land and cotton fields of Suzhou Prefecture into his hands!
Like Tianmen County, the land in Suzhou Prefecture is abundant and cheap.The normal practice is that the local people first propose a land reclamation plan to the county government.

According to the law of Dagan, the unowned land reclaimed belongs to the farmers who reclaimed the wasteland.

Let the Suzhou people occupy the land first, and then the Tianmen Cotton Land Reclamation Association will sign a contract with the local people to fully fund the local people to reclaim the land and develop water conservancy projects.

Then, everyone cultivated the reclaimed land, and then handed over half of the harvest to the Land Reclamation Association every year.

In the past 20 years, all the land taxes generated by the cotton fields will be paid by the Land Reclamation Association!

In other words, the land reclamation will pay, and Suzhou people will do their best.

After the charter was drawn up, Hu Susu went to Suzhou Prefecture with a lot of money and professionals.

When he arrived at Suzhou Mansion, Hu Susu did nothing but pile up pieces of silver ingots on the busiest street in Suzhou City.

In Suzhou City, the most lively place is the street in front of the county government office.But today, a beautiful woman, with three hundred fox soldiers, occupied this public place!

A group of local tyrants from Tianmen County greeted Qiongha from Suzhou Prefecture with a smile.Then the fox soldiers swept the ground and set up shelves.

Then, a scene that shocked the people of Suzhou Prefecture to drop their jaws appeared!

These fox soldiers haul crates of silver from giant fox carts!
The silver was melted into silver ingots one foot long and three inches wide, and then placed in the open space like this.

The white silver ingots shone brightly under the sunlight.It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The local tyrants in Tianmen County looked on cheerfully, and the fox soldiers placed them silently. After a while, these silver ingots were piled up very high, like a hill.

Then, the charming Hu Susu got down from the fox cart and said to the Suzhou people in front of him: "I am Hu Susu from Tianmen County, you can call me Miss Susu. Today, I am representing the Cotton Farmers Association of Tianmen County, Here to help you!"

She pointed to the 'Silver Mountain' behind her, and said confidently: "Here is 50 taels of silver, and we plan to use all of it in Suzhou Prefecture! We want to build Suzhou Prefecture into the largest cotton production center in Northwest China!"

"First of all, I will complete the water conservancy project that you have been thinking about. I promise you here that the canals must be repaired, cotton must be planted, life will be better, and life will be better!"

With the beautiful Hu Susu, her seductive words, and a little bit of vixen's special skills, the Suzhou people who were watching the excitement were stunned!
