The villain and traitor is my brother

The eldest prince was taken to prison to investigate General Zhuangwu's rebellion, which meant that he could not cause trouble for the time being.Pei Yuanqi dressed up and entered the palace to see the Holy Emperor. He could hardly suppress the raised corners of his mouth.

He saluted, pursed his lips, and deliberately looked serious, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince needs to stay in prison for some time."

The Holy One is approving the memorial and knows why he is here.He just hummed and didn't considerately let him go to Dongzhou.

Pei Yuanqi didn't say anything after hearing his hum. He stepped forward and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you promised me. After performing such a play, you will let me leave the capital."

The Holy Emperor continued to approve the memorial without raising his head, "But Xiao Yi did not raise an army to rebel, and there is no evidence to prove that he participated in the rebellion. Although he is in prison, someone will inevitably rob him, and you have to stay in the capital. The safety of the country is at stake. , General Pei should be able to distinguish the seriousness of an affair with his children."

Pei Yuanqi straightened up and said angrily: "You have no joke!"

"Now and then, General Pei, you have to understand my painstaking efforts."

Pei Yuanqi turned around and was about to leave, "I'm going to Dongzhou now, who dares to stop me?"

The Holy Emperor changed the memorial again and continued to correct it, and said firmly: "Without the imperial edict, you will not go anywhere."

Pei Yuanqi turned his back to him, "How can you see it?"

The Holy Emperor put down the memorial and looked at Pei Yuanqi with his eyes very wise, as if he could see through everything, "If you go to Dongzhou secretly, Zheng Sinong will be angry."

Pei Yuanqi closed his eyes and held his head, too angry to say a word.

The Holy Sage smiled and shook his head, "Just wait patiently. When the cotton is harvested and the yield is proven to be high, I will give you a reward. Zheng Sinong will have to come to Beijing to report his work and thank you."

Pei Yuanqi turned around and said, "If Zheng Sinong doesn't want to, don't force her to come to the capital. Although I want to see her, I don't want to influence her."

"I know your thoughts."

In early August, the cotton in the Dongzhou cotton field began to mature. Zheng Qiuyun demonstrated to Meng Hao and He Jin, "The cotton at the bottom matures first. Pick it from the bottom first. Then go into the field and pick more times until you have picked all the top cotton."

Zheng Qiuyun was not wearing gloves, and the cotton shell was hard. She made a small cut on her hand, and blood immediately came out.

"Zheng Sinong, be careful." Several students said nervously.

Zheng Qiuyun wiped away the blood nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's not an injury at all. You should be careful when picking."

After a few students have finished studying, they have to teach the people according to the original grouping.Compared with teaching them to raise seedlings and interplant, teaching them to pick cotton is effortless at all.Some people have grown cotton before, and some people have never grown cotton before, but they learned it just by listening to what they said.

After the cotton is picked, there are many processes to get soft cotton, which is quite complicated.However, Meng Hao was smart and made a cotton peeling machine that could be stepped on, which greatly improved the efficiency.

"Zheng Sinong, do you think this peeling machine is very convenient?" Meng Hao demonstrated to Zheng Qiuyun very excitedly.

Zheng Qiuyun also praised him without hesitation, "Meng Hao is really a good farmer. This machine is so convenient!"

Meng Hao blushed and said stupidly, "Thank you Zheng Sinong for the compliment."

He Jin was also very capable. He used local materials to spin cotton into cotton thread and then made it into woven bags.Once the cotton is dried, it can be packed into a pocket.

It took about two months to harvest all the cotton in Dongzhou. They were all put into the pockets invented by He Jin, and He Yan sent people to take them away.

After experiencing war and plague, the land of Dongzhou has regained its vitality.The people who planted cotton had already used the money from selling watermelons to buy food when they harvested watermelons.Now that the cotton is harvested, they can keep some cotton to keep out the cold.In Dongzhou County, quilt-making workshops are very busy, and there are many people exchanging cotton for quilts.Twenty pounds of cotton can be exchanged for a ten-pound quilt, and you don't have to look for cloth again. It's a great deal.

A woman said loudly: "Shopkeeper, I took forty pounds of cotton, give me two ten-pound quilts!"

Another person who did not grow cotton asked her, "Why do you say it is so easy? Last year, my family only grew 150 kilograms of cotton from one acre of cotton. Don't you feel bad that you took [-] kilograms out to replace the quilt?" ?”

The woman smiled and said, "If one acre of land yields more than 100 kilograms of cotton like last year, and we have to sell the cotton to buy food, I will naturally feel distressed. But this year, just the money from selling watermelons has bought a lot of food. My family One acre of land yields [-] kilograms of cotton, so I use [-] kilograms to change the quilt, so I don’t feel bad.”

"How much? Four hundred pounds?"

The woman saw his surprise, and then said: "Our land is average, and I am not very good at planting. There is someone in our village who harvested five hundred kilograms of cotton from one acre of land."

She asked strangely: "What? Back then, all the villages were asking them to grow cotton, but didn't you?"

"Five hundred catties?" This man's intestines turned green with regret. "No, when I signed the document, I promised that the cotton could only be sold to a businessman named He. I was afraid that he would lower the price and I didn't dare to grow cotton."

The woman smiled and said, "That's the businessman Zheng Sinong is guarantor. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

It is useless to say more. This person did not expect that everyone who planted cotton sold it at a good price, and even kept some cotton to keep him warm from the cold.

Another man interjected, "My cotton field can harvest [-] kilograms. This time I will change four quilts. Two beds for us to cover ourselves, and two beds for my daughter to dowry."

The man who didn't grow cotton was very envious. He licked his face and asked, "Dare I ask, brother, do you have any girls at home who are not engaged yet? What do you think of me?" Those were two new quilts. He wanted it so much. .

The man looked at his appearance carefully, then waved his hand, "No, no, I have just a daughter, and I have already promised him a wife. You can ask more, people who grow cotton in Dongzhou should be willing to give their daughter to their daughter. Dowry quilt.”

"Thank you bro."

In October of the golden autumn, Zheng Qiuyun, who had already received the imperial edict, drove a carriage to the capital with ten students including Meng Hao and He Jin. The news of high cotton yields came to the capital earlier than Zheng Qiuyun and the others.

The official in charge of statistical data reported in the court, "Your Majesty, the cotton yield per mu in Dongzhou is above [-] jins, and the yield per mu of rich land can reach [-] jins."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

The reason is simple. Daxuan has never harvested so much cotton.The most one time, when the weather was good, I only collected nearly [-] kilograms.Now with two types of cotton in one place, it is possible to harvest [-] kilograms of cotton.

"Okay, okay!" The Holy Master walked down from the dragon chair excitedly, "It is a blessing for the people to have Zheng Sinong in Daxuan!"

The civil and military officials said in time: "The Holy One is blessed with great blessings and is blessed by God."

The Holy Lord Long Yan was delighted, "Now think about it, dear sirs, what should you reward Zheng Sinong?"

Pei Yuanqi came out and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well wait until Zheng Sinong comes to the capital and ask her face to face what reward she wants."

The Holy Sage smiled and sat back, "Okay, then I'll follow what General Pei said."
