Lady forced to seek prince

Widow Xie nodded. When she returned to the weaving workshop in Fengxia Village, she heard that the Lord of Ningfu County had come over and was watching people weaving and dyeing cloth. She walked in and took a look among the crowd, and she really saw the man. County Lord.

"Wearing clothes from our weaving workshop, she stood silently among the crowd. The women in the surrounding villages didn't even know her identity."

That's true. The county head didn't mention it, but he still thought that she was just an ordinary female family member.

"When I went there, I saw a female family member talking to her."

Zhao Luoyang said: "What are you talking about?"

Widow Xie said: "The female family member is from Sunjia Village. She said that the lambs caught in their village last fall are growing very well. She wants to have them sheared in May, but we may not be able to agree."

"The county leader asked, why do we need to agree?"

"The female family member said that if the wool is not long enough, not only will it not be sold as first-class wool, but passing it off as second-class wool will also damage our Northwest brand. Besides, if the sheep are not strong enough, they will get sick if they are shaved. Last year, there were sneaky The person who sheared the sheep by himself ended up torturing the sheep to death, and the family really regretted it."

Widow Xie followed the example of the female family member and explained everything to Zhao Luoyang.

"If you want me to tell you, we have to be obedient. The northwest could be here today because Prince Yu and Princess Yu took us to grow cotton and raise livestock. The first time we sold cotton, the family divided it into more than ten strings, which made everyone happy. I feel like money is falling from the sky. This year I got more, and I also raised livestock. With the money, the yard was repaired, and the household items were purchased. In several villages in Taozhou, everyone is rushing to get married. Yes, this was something you would never have dreamed of two years ago, how can you still be so greedy?"

"The princess has already said that whether we sell cotton, cloth or fur, it is not a one-time deal. We have to sell our reputation before we can do anything about it."

Zhao Luoyang knew whose sheep the female family members were talking about.

The ewe that had just given birth to a lamb was pulled over to have its sheep sheared, but no one in the village could stop her.

From then on, everyone believed in what the people in the village said.

Widow Xie paused after finishing speaking: "That's about it. The county head nodded after hearing this, but he didn't listen to what she said."

Zhao Luoyang nodded.

Widow Xie then asked: "In the future, if the county lord goes to the weaving workshop, we still don't care?"

Zhao Luoyang said: "No matter, let her see." The performance of Ningfu County Lord confirmed Zhao Luoyang's suspicion. Now that the County Lord is locked up, it is better to let her move around freely. Anyway, the armed guards are watching. , it is impossible for her to send the news out of Taozhou.

Of course, if the county leader figures it out, there may be unexpected gains.

After saying this, Widow Xie asked about teaching people outside the domain to spin: "Our spinning wheel is used to spin cotton, and now we teach people to use it? In fact, if we do more work in the morning and evening, the manpower will still be enough." "

Zhao Luoyang knew what Widow Xie meant. People outside the domain had not grown cotton yet, so why did he teach them how to use spinning wheels and looms first? Taking the spinning wheels and looms out will inevitably bring out part of the cotton. In Widow Xie's opinion, it is not too late to wait until the cotton harvest outside the domain is good next year to do this.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Everyone has heard about cotton, but they don't know how to spin it or make it into cloth. Unless you see it with your own eyes, you won't know how precious it is."

"After using spinning wheels and looms, and knowing how cotton will be turned into money after it is made, everyone will be more active in farming."

At the end of the day, we have to let everyone know the whole story.

How much cotton can be woven into a piece of cloth, and how much money a piece of cloth sells for, everything is clear, and you can become more positive. Zhao Luoyang has read books in the system. It is not easy to promote something. You don’t know which link will cause problems. Maybe someone will fall short of the success with a random word.

Widow Xie still doesn’t understand.

Zhao Luoyang said: "We promote cotton seeds. If someone says that only people in the vassal area know how to weave cotton, there will be a bumper cotton harvest in the future. If you don't know the art of weaving, you will have to sell it to the vassal area. By then, the vassal area will only need You can buy a batch of good cotton with very little money. Do you think people who want to grow cotton will have doubts?"

"It's different if you learn to weave by yourself. The more you have in hand, the more practical you will be."

Widow Xie finally understood.

Zhao Luoyang said: "I asked everyone to teach weaving because I also want everyone to spread the knowledge about the situation in the domain. How our domain divided the fields, how we plowed in the spring, how we harvested cotton, and how we came together to weave cloth. , how to divide money, whenever others ask, tell the truth."

Widow Xie nodded: "We can do this."

Once everything is figured out, it will be easier to do the next things. At least Widow Xie knows how to do it. Tell the story about the domain and let everyone know how good life is in the domain.

Widow Xie had a relaxed smile on her face. In the past two years, she has become more and more skillful in doing things, mainly because the female relatives also believe in her. In addition to teaching everyone how to weave, the female relatives will also ask her for help when they have difficulties. Years ago, a woman in Wangjia Village was beaten, so they came to her door. In the end, the man in that family bowed his head and no longer dared to bully his own mother-in-law.

Weaving, dyeing, and making fur, which one does not require women? In many families, women earn more money than men. If the family lacks such a sum of money, life will definitely be difficult. By grasping this, many things can be solved.

Widow Xie stood up and was about to leave. Zhao Luoyang said, "I also want to go back to the village. Aunt Xie will ride in the carriage with me."

Widow Xie smiled so hard that her eyes rolled up. She was so generous that she would arouse the envy of many people.

The two of them were sitting in the car. They stopped talking about business and just talked about everyday things.

Widow Xie asked, "When will the matter between Aunt Yang and Mr. Song be settled?"

Zhao Luoyang said with a smile: "Master Song has told my father several times that we are planning to hold a happy event this year, but we have to wait for my grandma's nod."

For this matter, Mr. Song would talk to her father whenever he had time. The two of them had been together for a long time, and everyone could see some clues.

Widow Xie smiled and said: "Mr. Song is a kind man, and Aunt Yang is blessed to be old."

"Where's Aunt Xie?" Zhao Luoyang said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about getting married again?"

Widow Xie's face suddenly turned red. After a moment, she hurriedly said: "How old am I... and Sister Xiang... who is willing to help me raise the child."

Zhao Luoyang said: "Of course there are people who would like Aunt Xie to be so capable."

Widow Xie immediately pictured that tall figure in her mind. He was honest, quick and diligent. Every time she went to Wangjiacun, he was always busy in front of and behind her, but she didn't feel it at that time. What, it was his sister-in-law who mentioned it... She finally realized something. She didn't expect that at her age, someone would be willing to marry her.

He just doesn't know if he really means it. Even if he thinks this way about some things now, he will change his mind if he says it and is criticized by others.

She has seen many such things.
