"Mother, mother, what are you doing in the government office now?" Ye Luoxing, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, looked at his mother anxiously and asked.

"We'll talk when we're on the road." Ye Sanniang looked back at the two of them and said, "Sit down. I'm speeding up."

"Oh oh oh!" The two brothers grabbed it and left the village with a crisp clicking sound.

"You two, it's been a long time to take a rest. If you don't stay at home and take a good rest, what are you going to do with me?" Ye Sanniang said, looking back at them with green eyes.

"What is Mother doing in the government office?" Ye Luo looked at her suspiciously and said.

"What do you think?" Ye Sanniang said as she looked at them with her amber pupils turning slightly.

"For the matter of cotton?" Ye Yan stared at her with black grape-like eyes and guessed with certainty.

"It's just how to solve this matter." Ye Luoxing said with a distressed face, "People die for money, and birds die for food. You have to be kind, and people may not appreciate it."

"Cutting people's wealth is like killing their parents, you have to be careful." Ye Yanxing looked at her nervously and said.

"Who said that I'm going to cut off the money of Song Daguan, I wish he could collect all the cotton in the county." Ye Sanniang said, looking at them sincerely.

"Mother, my son doesn't believe what you said at all." Ye Yanxing said with her round eyes bent into crescent moons.

"My sincere blessing." Ye Sanniang pointed to her eyes and said, "Sincerely, I just want to pay for it and deliver the goods, instead of giving an IOU."

"Mother, don't be so secretive, tell me what you plan to do?" Ye Yanxing looked at her curiously and said.

"I'm just guessing now, and I'll know the details when I meet Mr. Lu." Ye Sanniang said as she looked at them with eyes as deep as ink.

"Okay then! We won't ask any more." Ye Yanxing looked at her with big and round eyes and said bluntly.

The mule cart rattled along the official road, and the fields on both sides of the road were harvested.

Most of them have been planted with wheat, and they are already sprouting. They are very green, and they are especially lovely in the bleak autumn that has begun to turn yellow.

Inside the government office, Master Lu heard the guards coming to report, and Ye Sanniang begged to see him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Please come in quickly."

Ye Sanniang and her two sons entered the second hall together, "The woman (boy) pays a visit to Mr. Lu."

"Excuse me, excuse me, why are you here?" Master Lu waved his hand, pointed to the official hat chair and said, "Sit, sit down quickly." He raised his voice and said again, "Serve tea."

Master Lu looked at the mother and son who had already sat down and said gently, "Is this cotton made into clothes? How do you wear it? Is it made into a quilt? How about covering it at night?"

"It's done." Ye Sanniang looked at the two brothers Ye Yanxing with her deep and bright eyes and said, "Tell Master Lu, how does it feel to wear it?"

Ye Luoxing immediately stood up and cupped his hands, "It's light and warm to wear, and it's better than leather. The most important thing is that it's cheap, we can all afford it, and we don't have to risk our lives to hunt."

"That's right." Master Lu smiled and nodded slightly.

"Master Lu, your mouth is bubbling." Ye Yanxing stared at Master Lu's mouth and said embarrassedly.

"Oh!" Master Lu said shyly, "Qiu Zao, I'm on fire." He reached out and touched the corner of his lips lightly, "Hiss..." It turned red.

It just so happened that the servant brought in tea, which relieved Master Lu's embarrassment.

Master Lu stepped back from the guard and said, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

"We are here for cotton." Ye Sanniang said straight to the point.

"Do you also want to sell cotton to outside merchants?" Mr. Lu looked at them with displeasure and said.

Ye Sanniang laughed when she heard that, and looked at Master Lu with a gentle face: This should not be Qiuzao getting angry, but anxious getting angry.

"What are you laughing at?" Lord Lu looked at her puzzled and said, did he also come to see his joke?
"Lord Lu misunderstood, my family's cotton is sold to the imperial court, I am not an ungrateful person, and I will not sell it to cheap peach pickers." Ye Sanniang said, looking at him with dark eyes.

Master Lu smiled awkwardly and said, "Drink tea, drink tea."

Ye Sanniang looked at him with eyes as clear as water and said, "I'll get straight to the point. The company chief came to me and asked me whether the cotton would be sold to the government office or to the officials of Song Dynasty."

"Song Daguan?" Lord Lu said, looking at her with raised brows.

"It's the well-known rich man Song Daguan in Qimen Town." Ye Sanniang looked at him lightly with black eyes and said, "The price he gave was [-]% higher than the price given by the government office."

"Grandma, the wealthy households in this city are also virtuous, and the prices are all [-]% higher. It seems that they have joined forces." Master Lu said with a dark face looking at them.

"So Master Lu knows." Ye Yanxing looked at him with dark eyes and said.

"Understood." Lord Lu said helplessly.

"Can't you find a way to stop it?" Ye Luoxing said angrily.

"No way? The sale is voluntary, how do you stop it?" Mr. Lu looked at them with dark eyes and said, "If this is a robbery and sold at a high price, I can still come forward. I really can't do anything about it. ?”

Ye Yanxing scratched her head and said, "If you buy this at a high price, you will definitely sell it at a high price. Otherwise, what would he earn? No one will do a loss-making business!"

"People don't buy it locally. Because of the proper publicity, every household in our government has planted it, so they can sell everything except for their own use. Some people who are greedy for money simply sell them." Mr. Lu clasped his hands under the desk, flipping his thumbs up and down.

"It's all sold, what about winter?" Ye Luoxing looked at him in surprise and said.

"I didn't have cotton before, wouldn't it be the same this winter? Anyway, I will plant it next year! It will be frozen for a year at most!" Master Lu pointed his index finger at the desk and looked at them with dark eyes, "Cotton is not food after all, this meal is a meal If you don’t eat, you’ll be hungry.”

"I heard the news from the head of the company that Song Daguan only gave a part of the money to buy cotton, and wrote the rest in writing. After the beginning of winter, the money will be made up." Ye Sanniang calmed down her deep and bottomless eyes and looked at it. said with him.

"Madam Ye, what do you mean?" Lord Lu looked at her lightly with dark eyes and said, "Are they saying they are cheating?"

"Fraud?" Ye Sanniang was taken aback when she heard the words, then shook her head and said, "No, I mean they are empty-handed."

"You mean they don't have much cash in their hands." Master Lu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her and said.

"Yes!" Ye Sanniang nodded when she heard the words, "The head of the company told me that [-]% of our village is going to be sold to Song Daguan."

"What?" Master Lu stood up excitedly, his face was livid.

Ye Sanniang looked at Master Lu with a shocked face, it was rare for him to lose his composure, so she was really taken aback.

Master Lu caressed his forehead and his emotions got a little out of control, "I'm sorry."
