Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 312 Acknowledgment, Reward (4)
After a pause, she continued: "Actually, when Young Master Le and I signed the contract, we expected that the high-yield cotton would spread within three to two years. After all, there are so many pairs of eyes watching, and that method cannot be concealed." After five years, we are all ready to announce the measures at any time. In this way, the price of cotton will inevitably fall, and the villagers will not be able to earn more money. Therefore, we buy at a lower price now, and when the price of cotton falls, The folks can continue to sell cotton at a high price. In fact, they have almost no losses. I didn’t tell the folks about this, and I was worried that they would have no scruples.”

This agreement was not nonsense by her. After selling all the cotton this year to Le Ting, Le Lin followed Le Ting's instructions and brought this contract, and she signed it right then!
When Emperor An Long heard this, his heart was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such an agreement. He looked at this little girl carefully again, and suddenly felt that his sons who only knew how to fight for power and profit were not as open-minded and capable as a little girl!

The windbreaker who sat down next to him felt even more deeply. He had known for a long time that the little girl was kind-hearted and generous. Although along the way, because he was reckless, he often gave him supercilious glances, but he just felt that she was close to him. So the idea of ​​wanting to recognize her as a righteous daughter became stronger and stronger!
Seeing that Emperor Anlong was silent, Zhang Xiaocao's palms were sweating nervously. She was afraid that he might suspect something. She didn't want Lin Zhaoyuan and others to get involved in the court, or even participate in the battle for the heir. Don't show your horse's feet and bring disaster to them!
After a while, Emperor Anlong spoke again, and asked a question that Feng Yi had asked before: "Since you know the importance of cotton, why do you try to hide it? If you had reported it to the local officials earlier, after I found out, wouldn't it be Will you still lose money to someone who is meritorious like you?"

Zhang Xiaocao smiled wryly to herself. She only knew that cotton was valuable at the beginning, but who knew that so many things would be involved later on. If she knew that planting cotton could cause so many troubles, she might have directly publicized the method of increasing production!
"Caomin grew up in the countryside since he was a child. He has never seen anything in the world. He only knows that cotton is valuable, and he wants to get rid of poverty and get rich with it. So he narrowly thinks about locking them up to earn money. Later, he learned that many people will die because they don't have cotton. Frozen to death, I wanted to make the method of increasing production public, but was blocked by Le Shaozhu, saying that other countries were also staring at cotton, so I didn't say anything, but I didn't think about strictly guarding it, and then... Your Majesty will know!"

After hearing this, Emperor An Long didn't have any ups and downs on his face, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not!

Zhang Xiaocao carefully recalled her answer and found nothing wrong, but as an emperor, especially a promising emperor, she must not be careless!
After a long time, Emperor An Long suddenly said, "What reward do you want?"

Zhang Xiaocao was stunned for a moment, and just now her mind leaped, without thinking much, she opened her mouth and said, "Your Majesty doesn't mind, just reward the grassroots with money!"

Now that everyone has spoken, it's not good if she doesn't want it. She can't afford anything other than money!
Emperor Anlong was a little surprised: "I heard that you still have a younger brother. If you propose to reserve an official position for him, and he can take office when he grows up, wouldn't it be better?"

Zhang Xiaocao shook her head: "If he has the ability, he will naturally find a future for himself. If he doesn't have the ability, even if he is a small official, he won't be able to do it well, and he will even miss a big deal!"

Emperor An Long nodded secretly. This little girl seems to have little knowledge, but she is not greedy for short-term gain. She can see things thoroughly, which is really good!
"In that case, I will reward you with 500 taels of gold!"

500 taels of gold?
When Zhang heard this, he expressed his disappointment. One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver. The 500 taels of gold are only 5000 taels of silver. She grows cotton for a year, and she can earn several times!
Although she felt that the emperor was stingy, Zhang Xiaocao had no choice but to pretend to be extremely happy, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Thank you, the emperor, for the reward!"

However, the windbreaker beside him was dissatisfied, he stood up and said: "My lord, this girl has grown high-yield cotton, this kind of credit is worth more than 500 taels of gold, you are too stingy!"

Emperor Anlong heard the words, laughed and scolded: "She didn't say anything, but you think I'm stingy!"

"She is about to become my adopted daughter, so I naturally have to think about her, the Holy Majesty's private treasury is not short of such things!"

Feng Yi regards himself as Zhang Xiaocao's elder, and bargains with the emperor.

Emperor An Long snorted coldly and said angrily, "You don't have anything good to give to your adopted daughter as a meeting gift, so you want to draw from me, it's really tricky!"

The windbreaker said modestly: "Who told you that there are so many good things here, why would I have the nerve to take out those scraps of metal!"

Emperor An Long was too lazy to talk to him, and waved his hand impatiently as if chasing flies: "Hurry up, hurry up, let you two stay any longer, I will definitely bleed!"

Feng Yi looked at Emperor An Long: "Then..."

Emperor An Long stared, picked up the pen holder on the dragon case, and threw it over: "Her benefits are indispensable! I plan to do it for her before we get married. Fortunately, I and you are still good friends for many years, so you just like this." Help her figure me out?"

The windbreaker turned around and dodged, pulling the dumbfounded Zhang Xiaocao out of the side hall with a big laugh!

Emperor An Long shook his head with a smile, sat down again, and said in a deep voice towards the door: "Xiao Guozi, come in!"

After Feng Yi took Zhang Xiaocao around, he quickly left the palace, saw Ling Feng and the other three waiting at the gate of the palace, his eyes flickered, and then he said to Zhang Xiaocao: "Now go to Huguo Temple , Let the old monk have a good day, so that he can hold the ceremony of recognition, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiaocao stared: "Is it so troublesome to use? I haven't decided whether I want to be your adopted daughter or not. You have to give me time to think about it!"

The corner of Feng Yi's eyes twitched, when did it become so difficult for him to recognize his daughter?

Seeing his disappointment, Zhang Xiaocao couldn't help comforting him: "It's not a trivial matter to accept a godfather. From the bottom of my heart, I'm very happy, but you have to think about it carefully. Don't you just trust me so much that I didn't agree to be your righteous daughter because you are a celebrity beside the emperor?"

And she needs to think about it even more, Feng Yi's status is too special, if it is an ordinary person, she agrees, after all, Feng Yi is a good person, he took good care of her along the way, and just now helped her speak in the imperial study, but he is the emperor Her confidant, that Jinyu was secretly wooing forces to compete for reserves. Although she didn't participate in it, Le Ting and the others did. She has a cooperative relationship with them, and her personal relationship is not bad. I don't want Feng Yi to think that she agreed to this kiss for a purpose!

Feng Yi heard the words and said affirmatively: "You are not this kind of person, rather than trusting you, it is better to say that I trust my own vision!"
