Tu Hao quickly saw what Xu Mingxu gave him - a few cushions.

The cushion is soft and thick, and the fabric is cotton that Tu Hao is familiar with.

Qi Qi said from the side: "Young master Xu said that you are too short, young master, and it is inconvenient to kneel and sit on the stool in class, so I specially sent some cushions over, and specifically explained that I need to use two."

The touch in Tu Hao's heart was instantly overwhelmed by the book boy's words, and he walked into the room with the cushion in his arms: "Hmph!"

Too short peat!

Two peats!

There were several cushions, and Tu Hao couldn't hold them, so he finally piled them on the bed, so he had time to observe them carefully.

This kind of cotton cloth is very similar to the homemade cloth of later generations, but compared with silk fabrics, the current cotton cloth is still a bit rough.Of course, whether it is cotton or cotton cloth, it will benefit more ordinary people.Cotton in winter clothes is always warmer than cotton wool, but there is still a problem with planting.Cotton is too fertile. If the common people plant it blindly, it will not be a good thing for the big man.

Qi Qi didn't quite understand why his young master was upset again, but he had long been used to the young man's judging Tu Hao, so he didn't take it to heart, so he should do what he should.

Bian Ziyu and his family's book boy were secretly amazed at the way the master and servant of the Tu family got along.But neither of them had long hands, so they didn't say anything. Instead, they felt that although Tu Hao and Qi Qi were a little younger, they were very good at living.Take a look at how everyone lives in the Imperial College, their small life, and look at yourself... There is no harm if there is no comparison.

After Xu Mingxu returned to Wanchun Village, he was naturally busy again.

Unlike in the compilation of agricultural economics, he played a miscellaneous role; in cotton planting, he was the direct leader.

Those who sit high in the temple are not idiots. As soon as cotton appears, they know that it is a great thing.

The butcher thought of the smell of the jars of wine sent by his own farm, and then looked at the cotton, and couldn't help but think of what his sons and daughters said about rushing out of the big man.Fanbang has a lot of good things!

After the court meeting, the butcher and several important ministers were called into the imperial study to continue further discussions on some important issues.

The butcher said: "I feel that many barbarians are coming and going. I am a great country, so I should follow the general trend and come and educate."

What is the duty of a scholar?One is to govern the country and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.The second is to educate the people and open up their wisdom.

But what is the meaning behind these high-sounding words? Everyone here is not stupid. They will not think that the butcher just wants to let the Hu merchants who are now staying in the Han Dynasty read and write, or send a few teachers to foreign countries to promote cultural exchanges.

The butcher doesn't care what the method of communication is.He is a scholar, and he doesn't do things like beating and killing.

The practical benefits of cotton are in front of you, and now the adults are planning with you and me.

In less than half an hour, he came to a conclusion, summed up as: take a whip and give a sweet date.

First conquer the people, and then let Fanbang grow cotton, grapes, and raise cattle and sheep, and then transport them to the Han Dynasty to benefit the people of their Han Dynasty.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War said: "Those can be considered in the long run. Cotton must be planted first. In the northwest and northern frontiers, many soldiers and civilians freeze to death every winter. They should be given priority."

This is directly swallowing the cotton produced next year.

Other adults naturally disagreed: "It's good for the soldiers and civilians at the border, but other areas in the Han Dynasty were not without bitter cold. The army defended their homes and the country to keep the people happy. Now that the people are freezing to death, the army is Defend what?"

The words of the two sides were tit for tat, and a fierce debate was launched.

The butcher didn't say a word, anyway, how much cotton was planted in the end, how to grow cotton, and how to distribute the grown cotton, all were carried out through him.He waited for a long time, and saw that several adults joined behind, fighting fiercely with each other. The old god was waiting for them to get tired from the quarrel, and then said: "It's too early to say this now. Now these cotton, including cotton The planting methods belong to Mr. Xu Mingxu. Although Mr. Xu is broad-minded and kind-hearted, what we are discussing now is still someone else's property."

In the imperial study, the prince is of course there.Mr. Xu, who is the prince and Taifu, was also there.

At this moment, no matter the two of them or others, when they heard the butcher say Xu Mingxu's "Master" in a serious manner, they couldn't turn their heads for a while.But it soon became apparent that there were twists and turns.

To put it bluntly, cotton is a good thing, but it is a good thing from other people's homes.This other person's family is still my own family, everyone is a group, you can't rush in like bandits and snatch good things for yourself, you have to use benefits in exchange.This is the rule.Otherwise, if there is something good in my house, and others don't say anything, they rush into the house to snatch it, where can I justify it?

As for this benefit, it is very simple.

Promotion, salary increase and bonus!

However, in view of Xu Mingxu's age and lack of qualifications to enter the officialdom, and he is now an important role in the compilation of agricultural economics, the official position is only given to a literary official, and the salary has actually increased a lot. It is worth five or six years of income from his current position.

Tu Hao soon found out about the situation in Xu Mingxu's letter to him, and wrote back to congratulate him. He also asked Xu Mingxu to rest and treat him to old duck vermicelli soup—two big bowls!

After Xu Mingxu received the reply, he laughed when he saw the two big bowls, and wrote a serious reply: No, my brother is too poor, at most I can treat you to a big bowl.

Along with the letter came several bottles of wine.The letter also said later that it is the wine made from grapes in the yard. I heard that the taste is not bad. It is not for him to drink, but for his social use.

Xu Mingxu looked at the thin-necked porcelain bottle that couldn't reach the height of his palm, and wondered if there was any wine in it.However, the workmanship of the bottle is very fine, and the tire is extremely thin, which can faintly reflect the crimson wine inside.Looking closely at the bottle, it is not pure white, but slightly green, even without any pattern, it looks very elegant.It's really handy for gift giving.

Xu Mingxu himself was a little moved, curious about the taste of the wine in the bottle, but thinking about the strict requirements of the little mouse in certain aspects, especially the scene of the Ye family brothers going out sideways, he thought it was better not to poke the little mouse The bottom line is wonderful.Even if the little mouse is not by his side now, the little mouse won't know if he secretly drinks a few sips.

The Xu family also has Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.With the improvement of Xu Mingxu's status in the Xu family, he can often receive some things from his own farm, which are nothing more than some eggs, vegetables and fruits.He is now living in Wanchun Village, so he doesn't lack those things at all.

But the small village of the Tu family was different. When he was in the Imperial College, he often saw all kinds of novelties.Later, he also learned that Tu Hao had collected a lot of novelty things and asked them to plant them in Xiaozhuang.He has always been curious about the small village of the Tu family, wondering how big the small village is to be able to grow so many things.

Now with Tu Hao's letter, there are not only a few bottles of wine, but also several large jars and small jars.

A Jian and Xiao Zhong carried it back and forth a few times before finishing: "The little porcelain jar contains pears in sugar water. Young Master Tu ordered to eat them as soon as possible, and you have to return the jar after eating." Having said that, He smacked his mouth, expressing his disbelief that the rich young master is so picky!

He pointed to the jars again: "The small jar is three catties, and the big jar is ten catties. Half of it is wine, and half is pear wine."

Xu Mingxu had seen the words written on the seal a long time ago, and understood that these were for his usual hospitality.

In addition, there are two large baskets of pears, a large package of cloves, and a recipe for pears in sugar water.

Stewed pears with cloves in sugar water can reduce noise and nourish the lungs. It is a very suitable dessert for autumn.

Xu Mingxu didn't like sweets very much, so he called Xiao Zhong: "Go and take two catties of honey harvested in the morning, and send it to Young Master Tu." Wanchun Manor raised bees by himself, and it was much easier to obtain honey than the outside world, but this Things are also expensive.If Xu Mingxu hadn't just received a bonus and was reused, he couldn't buy two catties all at once.

Although Xiao Zhong was not surprised that his young master said so, he still asked: "Don't you keep any?" Don't you need to send some to the old man and the old lady?

Xu Mingxu's smile remained unchanged: "Not to stay." He knew what Xiao Zhong meant, but his grandparents were not bad for this, and of course Tu Hao was not bad either.Although this is just a little care, he knows his position in the Xu family.His role is only to ensure that the Xu family's family is not in decline.

This time he made a good start, from a small sesame official to the emperor's eyes, although he was only a casual official title, he was still a sixth rank.How long has he been in office?

Because of the stimulation of cotton, the court has been in full swing recently.

It is autumn harvest time again, and the folks are also busy.

Then, Chen San died.

When Qi Qi mentioned it to Tu Hao, Tu Hao's first reaction was: "Who is Chen San? Oh, I remember now." His former cousin-in-law.

Qi Qi glanced at him with a "young master dementia" look, and then continued: "It is said that something happened on the way to Jiangdan community."

"Tsk." Tu Hao curled his lips, "It's really not peaceful to die."

It's true that his eldest cousin's cognition is a bit strange, but most of this kind of strangeness was instilled by the Chen family.Thinking about his eldest cousin who was married before she even graduated from high school, she didn't look like a monkey like other sisters since she was a child, but she was very introverted and quiet;

Later, when the matter of the concubine's eldest son happened, although she was crying, when she was escorted and divorced, she probably came back a little bit.After that, she was directly dragged by his Huniu to the Jiangdan community, where she helped manage the accounts of several workshops.Not to mention, she still did it in a serious manner, and she didn't mention Chen San again recently.

But Chen San didn't think so.He felt that he and his wife were deeply in love with each other, and that it was the bandits of the Ye family who beat up the mandarin ducks, and they never gave up.But after bastard's accident, he wasn't too stupid after all, but he stopped for a while.

Probably because he felt that the rumors were not so tight recently, so he sneaked out, and didn't think about whether the Wang family, whose Eighth Prince died, would really let him go.

Qi Qi was still waiting for the next text: "No more?"

Tu Hao was a little strange: "Irrelevant people die as soon as they die. What does it have to do with us?"

In fact, after this incident, the Wang family didn't say it was in decline, but the decline in status was absolute.It's just that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Wang family is not a dead camel now.Although Wang Ba's death was found out by himself, the Wang family didn't think so.They would think that the eighth son of their family is dead, what is Chen San, who can still live well?

That's right, power is so overbearing.

Tu Hao lowered his head and took a sip of the honey water, thinking he was still a pretty boy.

Well, he must work hard to get promoted and make a fortune, and strive to gain power over his beautiful boy in the future!
