Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 355 Unraveling, turning into a wolf (3)
"Also, everyone can think about it, if the emperor directly announces the method of increasing cotton production, our Zhangjia Village will not be the only ones who grow cotton. In two years, the price of cotton will definitely drop, and if we continue to grow cotton, we won't be able to make much money!"

Everyone listened, look at me, I look at you, originally wanted to argue with the government, but now after hearing Zhang Xiaocao's words, they feel that the land has been expropriated, it's not too bad, and it's really a quarrel with the government, It's definitely not good for them. They still remember what happened in Zhaoqiao Village more than 20 years ago!
After hearing this, the patriarch felt that it would be good if the government really hired them to work and pay wages, and it would definitely be no good to make a fuss!
Zhang Xiaocao was slightly relieved to see that everyone was not as resistant as before. She was really worried that they would be impulsive because of their own interests and the government, and make trouble recklessly. That would be of no benefit at all!

Although she is dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, it is impossible to change his decision now. More importantly, the interests of the farmers who have been expropriated are only impressed by the interests of Zhangjia Village, and only Zhangjia Village is dissatisfied. Even if you make a fuss, you can't make waves!
After the matter was settled, Zhang Xiaocao returned home, intending to discuss the next thing with her adoptive father, so she went to the potato planting place in the backyard. Sure enough, she saw someone, but saw her adoptive father frowning tightly, holding a letter in his hand , a headache and helpless look!
"What's the matter, adoptive father, you don't look like the windbreaker that everyone talks about!"

Zhang Xiaocao teased, secretly glanced at the letter in the hands of her adoptive father out of the corner of her eye, but only saw the corner of the letter, just in time to see the word "Feng Wu"!
Haha, so that’s the case. I didn’t expect that Feng Wu was thousands of miles away, and a letter could make the adoptive father like this. It seems that the adoptive father didn’t feel nothing at all. Well, even if this feeling is not tempting, at least it is Don't you feel?

Hearing another person's voice, Feng Yi hurriedly stuffed the letter into his sleeve, and slapped it lightly: "He didn't make a sound when he came, almost scared the adoptive father!"

Zhang Xiaocao touched her head aggrievedly, and muttered in a low voice, "It's a guilty conscience!"

When Feng Yi heard the words, he patted her again with lightning speed: "I am your adoptive father, what should you say about being a thief with a guilty conscience?"

Zhang Xiaocao kept silent, the facts speak louder than words, she had teased her adoptive father before, but she had never seen such a big reaction from him!
Feng Yi didn't miss the clear look on her face, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed, touched his nose and changed the topic: "What do you want to see your adoptive father for?"

Zhang Xiaocao didn't want to hold on to this matter, so she started talking about the real thing: "Since the emperor has made such a big move, at least he has established cotton bases in every state capital, he probably won't change his mind, but there are a few things, I want to ask my adoptive father to write a letter to the emperor!"

When Feng Yi heard this, he also became serious, and said in a deep voice: "You said, the adoptive father is about to write a letter to ask the emperor to see if he can not confiscate Zhang's family village!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Xiaocao bowed deeply to her adoptive father, and said solemnly: "Thank you, foster father! Even so, the folks still have me. I suspect that I don't understand the general situation, but everyone is selfish. Yes, I naturally hope that the folks can live better!"

The windbreaker helped her up, with a satisfied expression on his face: "You are a good boy who values ​​affection. Although this move is indeed inappropriate, it is not a big deal. After all, if there is no imperial decree from the emperor, the villagers of Zhangjia Village must have a better life. The farmer's family is comfortable, and the request you make now is not too much!"

Seeing that her adoptive father understood, Zhang Xiaocao was very glad!

The windbreaker tapped her forehead, looked at the potato field that hadn't sprouted yet, and said with a smile: "You, I still pray that the potatoes will succeed, so that the Zhang Family Village will become famous again, and the adoptive father will have enough reasons to convince the emperor Leave this piece of land and use it to expand potato planting in the future!"

Zhang Xiaocao's eyes lit up when she heard it, yes, that's a good reason, why didn't she think of it before!

It has been two months, and up to now, there is no news of potatoes. She remembered that potatoes were first introduced to Europe from South America in her previous life, and then spread slowly. I don’t know if there is South America in this life, but this area There is no such thing in the mainland, and it probably came from a far away place. She was lucky, and she came across it. Probably in a short time, there will not be any, and even if there are, there will not be many. It’s not bad to plant potatoes this year if you don’t plant cotton first!

Thinking of this, all the depression just now disappeared, and the whole person seemed to be in high spirits!
Feng Yi was also happy looking at her, and rubbed her hair, but the thought of writing a letter to the emperor reminded him of the letter in his sleeve, which made him feel depressed again in an instant!

Seeing that her adoptive father was not in a good mood, Zhang Xiaocao also thought of the owner who wrote that letter!Before returning from the capital, Feng Wu learned that her adoptive father would leave for at least half a year, so she went to find the emperor and wanted to come with her, but she is a royal princess and the jewel in the emperor's palm, how could the emperor rest assured that she would follow, so she didn't want to Refused!

Later, she managed to get the emperor's permission, and before they left, she came to practice for them in person. If the emperor hadn't sent a team of guards to follow, she might have followed them that day!

Feng Wu has a deep affection for her adoptive father, but the gap between them is too great, even if the emperor loves her foster father, she will not let her flower-like daughter marry an "old man" who is of his generation!
What's more, the adoptive father never forgets his sweetheart who has passed away for many years. It is difficult to fall in love with a woman who can be his daughter. This is Feng Wu's biggest challenge.

Alas, Feng Wu's path of love is destined to be difficult!

Feng Yi looked at the sighing daughter, and couldn't help being a little funny: "Isn't there a way to solve the problem? What are you still worrying about? Don't worry too much at such a young age!"

Zhang Xiaocao knew that her adoptive father had misunderstood her, and she didn't explain it, but she couldn't help but said, "Father, you have to be nicer to yourself, you still have decades to come, you can't just be so lonely However, it will make those who really care about you feel distressed!"

Feng Yi was startled, then patted her on the head and smiled, "The foster father knows!"

Zhang Xiaocao looked at his casual look, sighed secretly, and said no more!
After Zhang Xiaocao left, the windbreaker took out the letter in his sleeve and read it again. His eyes fell on the last line, and his eyes did not move away for a long time!

At dinner in the evening, Lin Zhaoyuan also came. Recently, he took over Shen Nian's job and has been helping Zhang Xiaocao with the medicine field. Because the medicine field may also be expropriated, so recently he asked people to give away the harvestable All the medicinal materials were collected, and after processing, they were placed in the warehouse just like the medicinal materials harvested last year. They can be used only after the workshop is completed, but there are still several kinds of precious thirteen incense raw materials growing on the mountain. , but no one knows if they can bear fruit and grow into one of the raw materials of Thirteen Fragrances in two years!
