The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 136 Li Xiaoyue disagrees with Gongsun Lian

Just when Li Xiaoyue couldn't figure out what Fan Geng wanted to do, Li Changshou came over with Fan Geng.

"Mrs. Li, Fan is so polite." Fan Geng cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Master Fan, what do you do for me?" When Li Xiaoyue saw the person coming, she just nodded slightly without any extra courtesy.

This is Lihua Village, and there aren’t that many etiquette.

Fan Geng didn't care. He had a very good attitude and asked with a smile: "The briquettes are very good. The general asked Fan to come over and order a batch of briquettes."

Li Xiaoyue was still suspicious. She could just order directly from Li's store in the county town, so why come to Lihua Village?
"Oh, that's it." Li Xiaoyue also smiled, "In the future, if Mr. Fan needs it, he can just go to Li's shop in the county and place an order with my eldest son. They have prices there, and there are discounts for large quantities."

Fan Geng smiled and said, "Besides the briquettes, Fan also has an unkind request."

"Master Fan, our Li family shop is open for business. If Master Fan likes something, we can sell it as long as the price is right." Li Xiaoyue responded to all changes by remaining unchanged.

If you want to be a white wolf with nothing, there is no way.

Fan Geng didn't care about Li Xiaoyue's attitude and continued to smile, "I heard that Mrs. Li woven thick woolen cloth here, so I came here to have a look. If the clothes can be sewn, Fan would like to purchase a batch for the border officers."

"We need them from the woolen fabric workshop. Changshou, please take Mr. Fan to see them. If you think they are suitable for making clothes, you can give a few pieces to Mr. Fan."

"Yes, mother." Li Changshou responded, "Master Fan, please."

"Okay!" Fan Geng smiled and looked at the two vegetable gardens. "What is grown here? Fan doesn't recognize it."

Li Xiaoyue pointed to the vegetable garden in the distance, "That's flax from Fanbang. Its seeds can be used to squeeze oil. Here is Baidiezi, the white wadding that grows from cotton bolls, which can be used for weaving. This is I bought it at the border market this year."

Fan Geng was stunned, but he didn't expect that Li Xiaoyue didn't hide anything, "Is the white cloth that Fan Bang attacked made of this white cotton?"

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes. At that time, I asked the Fanbang people who sold the seeds and told me how to plant them. I tried planting them. Fortunately, these two things grew very well and they were about to be harvested."

Fan Geng was in awe, "Mrs. Li is a great talent! The white folded cloth is soft and absorbs moisture. It is a royal tribute. Your Majesty rewarded General Liu with one last year as a show of favor."

"If we can grow Baidiezi, it will be more precious than this wool thread."

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Things that are rare are valuable. We didn't grow alba here before, so alba is very expensive."

"When we can plant more and more of it in the future, it will no longer be valuable. But this thing is really good. When there are more of it, it will be cheap and ordinary people can afford it."

"Just like the wool fabrics I made, I didn't intend to sell them expensively. Of course, because the fabrics made of wool and linen are relatively rough, dignitaries may not like to use them, but ordinary people can have an extra kind of warm clothing in the cold weather. In winter, you can have a little more warmth during the winter.”

Fan Geng was shocked. He thought Li Xiaoyue's wool fabric would be expensive, but he didn't expect that Li Xiaoyue had no intention of selling it at a high price.

"Mrs. Li is righteous!" Fan Geng praised, and once again complained in his heart that Liu Yunde was short-sighted.

After learning about the two things in the vegetable garden, Fan Geng and Li Changshou went to the workshop to look at the woolen fabrics.

Sure enough, as Li Xiaoyue said, the fabric is very thick, but it is also very hard.

Such clothing can withstand severe cold better than linen.

The army was all men, so Fan Geng chose two black horses and two blue ones.

"Li Changshou, how much is the total?" Although Li Xiaoyue just said he didn't want any money, Fan Geng was too embarrassed not to give it!

Li Changshou replied: "My mother said, this is a sample. Mr. Fan will go back and have someone tailor it to suit your needs. After trying it on, you can come back and buy it. Then you will pay for it."

"Thank you, Mrs. Li." Fan Geng accepted it. "These thick fabrics are used to make robes. They will definitely keep you warm." Li Changshou opened the curtain and revealed the recently made clothes. "Thick fabrics are used to make robes. Wrap and pull them. It is not conducive to soldiers training and fighting. It is more convenient to make it into a top and bottom trousers."

Fan Geng's eyes lit up. He looked carefully and reached out to touch it. He found that it was not a belt, but buttons made of wood, which fit better.

Not only that, these hard fabrics make clothes like this not only thick, but also crisp.

"Can you give me this dress?" Fan Geng asked, and then he felt that it was inappropriate to ask for clothes now after just taking the cloth, so he immediately took out ten taels of silver, "This is the money to buy clothes, how about it?" "

Seeing this, Li Changshou nodded, "Okay, everyone will wear clothes similar to this in the future anyway. However, the fabric is relatively rough. If you have the conditions, it is best to wear a soft middle coat underneath, otherwise it will rub your thighs."

Fan Geng immediately folded the clothes on the wooden shelf and prepared to take them away.

This time, Fan Geng knew what he wanted to know and got what he wanted.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Gongsun Lian coming.

Fan Geng cheered up and did not dare to be careless. He had not forgotten his true purpose.

"I have met Lord Gongsun." Fan Gong bowed and saluted. No matter in terms of strength or official position, he was not as good as Gongsun Lian. Be cautious, you are right.

Gongsun Lian chuckled and closed the folding fan in his hand, "Master Fan, are you interested in these clothes and plan to make military uniforms for the soldiers?"

Fan Geng considered it carefully, fearing that he would fall into the trap of the cunning Gongsun Lian, "Go back to Master Gongsun, I don't dare to make the decision. Now when I take it back, the general will decide."

Gongsun Lian nodded, "Yes, it is indeed up to the general to make a decision. Seeing that Qi State is about to make a move, the general is the commander-in-chief of an army and is more thoughtful than us."

Fan Geng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master Gongsun, you have finished reading at home. It's time to go back and resume your duties. Goodbye."

He didn't want to tell Gongsun Lian more, for fear that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.

When he came to Lanshan County, he suffered several losses at the hands of Gongsun Lian, but Fan Geng didn't dare to be careless at all.

Even if Gongsun Lian sneezes, he will always wonder if there is a deeper meaning.

"Lord Fan, walk slowly." Gongsun Lian nodded and watched Fan Geng leave. The fake smile on his face disappeared and he looked at Li Changshou, "Where is your mother? Don't sell woolen cloth to Liu Zicheng."

Li Changshou was stunned, "Mr. Gongsun, why is this?"

Even if those soldiers were under Liu Zicheng's account, they were guarding Zhenxiguan and protecting the people of Lanshan County.

These soldiers are innocent.

Gongsun Lian squinted his eyes, his eyes a little colder, "Even if you sell it to Liu Zicheng, this batch of thick cloth may not be able to be worn by the soldiers. On the contrary, it will increase the purchase of additional military supplies, which will allow Liu Zicheng to gain more from the court." There’s going to be more silver over there.”

Li Changshou understood, "Oh, that's it. Does Liu Zicheng really dare to be greedy for any money?"

"You will know it later, and it will surprise you." Gongsun Lian sighed, wondering why Liu Zicheng wanted so much money?

At this time, Li Xiaoyue saw Fan Geng leaving, so she brought Wen Xiaolan to the workshop, "What do you know?"

Li Changshou replied: "Mother, Mr. Gongsun won't let us sell woolen cloth to General Liu, saying that these good things may not be used for the soldiers, and they will also coax a lot of money from the court."

"Huh?" Li Xiaoyue was startled, then smiled, "That's wrong, Mr. Gongsun, you are wrong to do this."
