farmer's husband

Chapter 693 put cold arrows behind

The princess of the Northern Kingdom decided to promote the Four Seasons Sericulture to the south!
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.Especially in those places in the south where mulberry is grown and silkworms are raised, the people are even more excited.

Although the climate in the south is warm and humid, it is not a problem to raise three seasons of silkworms a year. They used to laugh at the silkworm farmers in the north because of this, and even laughed at them severely.Unexpectedly, Liangzhou went to a princess of the North Kingdom, who studied the method of raising silkworms in four seasons, and she quickly spread this method to every place around her!
Now, the north can raise ten seasons of silkworms a year, which is far higher than them!
Although the silk in the north is not as soft as the one in the south, and most of the woven cloth can't be used as clothes, but who told them to put on this powerful princess of the North Kingdom again?She weaved these thick silk into various cushions and curtains, and then the reputation of Liangzhou silk went up, and it even surpassed the southern silk!
Because of this, the silkworm farmers in the south were very angry.

"Hmph, if we also learn the method of raising silkworms in four seasons, we can also weave more silk, and then sell the silk and satin from the south to all over the country, and we will definitely suppress the reputation of northern silk!"

The original Liangzhou silk has now become the representative of northern silk.When you talk about northern silk, your first reaction is Liangzhou silk.Even the silk cloth woven from the silkworms raised in the former territory of foreign tribes was under the banner of Northern Silk.

Now, this opportunity has finally come, and it was sent to them by the princess of the North Kingdom.Those silkworm farmers who were originally filled with righteous indignation were all dumbfounded when they saw this.

"This...can't be true, right? Princess Beiguo is so kind, she is willing to give us such a precious method for free? I remember that when they promoted this method in Liangzhou and other places outside Liangzhou, The one who took the money!"

"That was in the past. They were poor and had no choice but to collect money. But it's different now. How well does Liangzhou develop now? Almost everyone in Liangzhou has enough food and warm clothes. They There is no shortage of money, so naturally I don't care about the petty profits. Of course, it is also because the princess of the North Kingdom reported this matter to the emperor, and the emperor also strongly supported her, and specially allocated funds from the treasury to support her actions. A spring in the south Chu Xu, the boss, patted his chest and said that he would pay half of the cost for the silkworm farmers out of his own pocket. In this way, don’t we have to spend money?”

"Another point is that the border trade between the dynasty and the Lang people is getting better and better. The supply of northern silk there has become saturated, but the demand for southern silk is still rising. The reason why the princess of the northern country did this is also to improve The output of our southern silk, so that we can continue to send silk and satin to them, so as to earn money from the Lang people! This is called killing two birds with one stone, mutual benefit and win-win!"

After everyone figured out the key to this, they gradually relaxed.

Before Harue decided to do this, she did write a letter to the emperor first.In the memorial, she listed her plan in detail, and also wrote out all the possible results.Of course, the most important thing is the paragraph she listed at the end - if this matter is successful, and the southern silk is continuously sent to the border, how can they earn another 20 taels of silver from the Lang tribe a year.As soon as this example is opened, other small border countries will follow suit, and their benefits will be doubled, and the national strength of our Celestial Dynasty will surely flourish.

True.In addition to being bordered by the Lang people in the north, the Celestial Dynasty bordered their borders with more than a dozen small countries in the east, west, south, and south.If they can also open border markets with these small countries, continue to sell them all the good things of the Celestial Dynasty, and make money from them, then it will be difficult for their Celestial Dynasty not to prosper!

The emperor was moved.

He quickly gave Chun Zhi a reply, not to mention her request, but also ordered the treasury to allocate 50 taels to assist Chun Zhi to go to the south to pilot and promote the four-season sericulture method.

Chunzhi got permission, so she took the money, and accompanied by Pan girl, she went to the south to supervise the matter.

The silkworm farmers in the south learned that it was the princess of the Northern Kingdom, the ancestor of the four seasons silkworm breeding method, who came to teach everyone the experience in person. They were all very excited, not to mention their high interest in learning. A piece of praise.

But Facing the sound of praise coming to her face, Pan girl was a little uncomfortable.

"Mother, do you think that these people are too enthusiastic about us? We haven't done anything yet, they have already praised us like this, which is simply putting us on the fire! If our promotion is unsuccessful this time, then the joy of these people will most likely turn into anger, so why don’t they tear us alive?”

"Then just don't let them tear us apart." Chun Zhi was very calm.

Hope the girl pursed her lips. "I always feel that there is a conspiracy here."

"Whatever! Whatever conspiracy they have, as long as we do what we have to do so that they don't have a chance to do it, then no matter how sophisticated the conspiracy is, it will be useless." Chun Zhi said slowly, "Now You just need to remember one thing - the emperor agrees with this matter, so they won't dare to do bad things too blatantly."

Hope the girl suddenly realized.

"I understand! No wonder you have to write a letter to the emperor first!"

Chunzhi smiled. "How dare I claim the first credit for such a great deed that benefits the country and the people? This credit is naturally the emperor's. And it's totally worth it to exchange a share of the credit for his protection."

Hope the girl nodded again and again. "That's it, mother, you think so well!"

Chun Zhi smiled again.

"Then now, are you still worried?"

"Don't worry!" Pan girl shook her head quickly.

Chun Zhi nodded. "Since you don't worry about it, let's work hard!"

"En!" Pan girl nodded vigorously.

However, it is easy to say this, but it is also somewhat difficult to actually operate.The climate in the south and the north is very different, and the four-season sericulture method in the north must not be copied directly.When the mother and daughter Chunzhi came here, they had to study the soil and climate carefully first, and then find ways to gradually improve the existing methods at hand so that they could fully adapt to the south.

This improvement will definitely take a lot of time and effort.

As soon as Chun Zhi and Pan girl reached the south, they plunged in.

But anyway, there is a previous foundation, so they are not too hard.After studying hard for a whole month, they have figured out a possible improvement method.

After sorting out the matters that need to be paid attention to, Chun Zhi sent someone to notify Chu Xu to come over to discuss specific operational matters—since Chu Xu was also the one who paid the money, the first place they arrived was naturally Chu Xu's designated place in the south. location.

However, unexpectedly, when Chu Xu came in a hurry, what he brought them was a bolt from the blue—"Princess, it's bad, the young lady and the young master are gone!"

Although Chen Yatou and Xi boy were named county lord and marquis respectively, Chun Zhi didn't like others calling them that, so it was enough for everyone around them to call them young lady.After a long time, other people also followed suit, and they all cried out like this.

Now the young lady and young master that Chu Xu was talking about were naturally Girl Chen and Boy Xi.

This time, when he came to the south to promote the four-season sericulture method, Chun Zhi had to stay in more than one place.Once she left this time, she would leave for a year at least. The two children were reluctant to part with her and clamored to come with her, so she brought them all along.It's just that the children are still young, and they can't get involved in these serious matters, so after arriving here, Chun Zhi handed over the two children to Chu Xu, and asked him to arrange someone to take the two children out to play.

As a result, this happened now.

Haruhi's heart sank heavily.

"Why didn't they disappear?" she asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, today I asked someone to take them out to eat glutinous rice and lotus root. The two little guys didn't have enough to eat, so they clamored to go to the street to play, so the boy took them. In the end, in front of a juggling booth, the boy If you don't pay attention, the two children will be taken away!" Chu Xu was very anxious, "After I heard the news, I have already asked someone to look for it. It's just that the matter is important, and I dare not hide it, so I hurried to leave Come to tell the princess about you."

The more Chunzhi listened, the more gloomy his face became.

Hope girl is also anxious.She is a mother, so she naturally knows how much the loss of a child hurts her mother.Especially now that the two children have been taken away!
"Could it be that they are patting Huazi? But Girl Chen and the others have been very shrewd since they were young. They don't allow strangers to get close to them at all. They are also good at kung fu. How can the patting Huazi be able to deal with them? That is to say..." The more she The more I thought about it, the colder I was, "We are here to work diligently for the common people, but they secretly took my younger siblings away, trying to make us unable to do this? It's too shameless for them to snipe behind the scenes!"

"But no matter what, we should continue to do what we should do." Chun Zhi finally said coldly, "Otherwise, we will really fall into their ways."
