Chapter 540 Qiaoan Town

After getting off the carriage, Xiao Mo and Yuniang came to Qiao's door side by side.

This is Xiao Mo's first visit to Yuniang's natal home. After seeing Qiao's compound, Xiao Mo nodded and said to Yuniang: "Sure enough, it is more grand than ours!"

Yu Niang didn't know what Xiao Mo meant by saying that, seeing that Xiao Mo didn't look like a poor mouth, she said: "It wasn't like this before...it seems to be a redecoration..."

Redecoration is a matter of course. When Yuniang was at her natal home for the last time, lime hadn’t become popular at that time. After Xiao Mo promoted lime, as Li Zheng and Xiao Mo’s father-in-law, Qiao Zheng naturally wanted to Tried first.

So Qiao's yard was repainted inside and out like this, and naturally it looked more magnificent than before.

A lot of people were gathered in front of Qiao's house at this time.

Qiao was standing at the door and was explaining something to everyone. Yuniang took Xiao Mo's hand and came to the crowd naturally. She didn't step forward abruptly, but listened to what Qiao was saying with everyone.

Qiao Zheng said: "Everyone, don't worry...Of course we have to grow this cotton. This is what the old man promised everyone last year...But there are indeed difficulties."

"In our Qiao'an Town...not every place is suitable for growing cotton. If we specialize in cotton...then no one will raise silkworms or farm fields. What do we eat? What do we wear?" Qiao Zheng asked everyone patiently. explained.

Hearing Qiao Zheng's words, questioning voices came out from the crowd.

"Uncle Qiao, that's not what you said... now who is willing to grow grain, isn't the county bringing grain from Hunan every year?"

"It's just... how much money can we earn a year from growing grain? One mu of cotton is worth several mu of grain... If you raise silkworms... that's all women's work... we old men can't do it... ..."

"Uncle Qiao, now Dalang is the young mansion of the county, and your son-in-law is Master Xiao Moxiao. If you keep saying a word, everyone can grow cotton..."

"yes……"

Qiao Zheng said in embarrassment: "That's what I said, but folks, the county also has difficulties... Besides, we also planted this cotton in Qiao'an Town, didn't we? Didn't we discuss it last year? We in Qiao'an Town first Assign [-] households to grow cotton... Everyone was decided by lottery at the time, and now you are going to make trouble... How can I talk to the county?"

It turned out that this cotton had been introduced to Qiao'an Town for planting last year. At that time, Lin Yiye also told Qiao Zheng that the whole town could not grow cotton. In that case, too much cotton would destroy the balance of the market. Qiao Zheng also heard went in.

Indeed, every household grows cotton instead of grain, so what do the people in Qiao'an Town eat?And... now Shenxian county is promoting cotton to a frenzied level, especially after the benefits of cotton come out, people are jealous and start to plant secretly. The layout of the county is destroyed.

This situation is becoming more and more serious now. Although Lin Yiye is no longer the Shaofu of Shen County, he was worried about this situation in the Shen County Chamber of Commerce, so he began to discuss with Qiao Wenxuan to control the cultivation of cotton. Let the common people keep rational, and not all go to grow cotton because of jealousy. In that case...the market will be difficult to regulate.

Xiao Mo said before that rare things are more expensive. Now that there is more cotton, the price will naturally decrease. This is an inevitable truth.Lin Yiye is now in control of the chamber of commerce with the country gentry, and he is worried to death because of this cotton.

That's why the whole county was ordered to control and control the cotton-growing families.

Qiao Zheng's words did not make everyone fully accept. After all, the price of cotton is much more expensive than grain. Who wouldn't want to earn more money?

Obviously, what Qiao Zheng said couldn't laugh at the people's enthusiasm for cotton in Qiao'an Town, and Qiao Zheng had just become a full-time official here, and he couldn't get too tense with the villagers, so the atmosphere in front of Qiao's house was so deadlocked. Then, there is no result.

After making up his mind to become a famous family in Shen County, Qiao Zheng transferred all the business of the Qiao family and asked Qiao Wenxuan to go to the county government to help, and he himself became the Li Zheng of Qiao'an Town. Transformed from a family of merchants, it became the most prestigious family in Qiao'an Town, and Qiao Zheng himself began to study some books hard in his spare time.

Qiao Zheng is going to turn Qiao's family into a scholarly family or a family of officials, so not only him, but Qiao Wenxuan will also study with him, as well as Qiao Wenxuan's son...

Qiao Wenxuan doesn't have a son yet, but it is estimated that it will be soon. Now the Qiao family is in the limelight in Shen County, and Qiao Wenxuan is the young mansion of Shen County. I don't know how many people are looking forward to marrying women to the Qiao family, but Qiao Wenxuan himself Not in a hurry, and Qiao Zheng is not in a hurry either.

Now that the Qiao family's reputation has risen, Qiao Zheng, the head of the family, naturally has a good face. Of course, this daughter-in-law must be carefully selected, and she must be from a scholarly family.

Qiao Zheng's body is a microcosm of the ancient people's view of family status.

In the past, it was because of her family background that Qiao Zheng wanted to marry Yuniang regardless of the downfall of the Xiao family.Now that the Qiao family was famous, he turned his attention to Qiao Wenxuan's marriage.

This is also the thought brought to Qiao Zheng by the ancient people's discrimination against businessmen. In fact, Qiao Zheng is no wonder.

Seeing that Qiao Zheng couldn't cope with the folks, Yuniang was also anxious. She blinked and looked at Xiao Mo, hoping that Xiao Mo could help her father.

Xiao Mo gave Yuniang a reassuring look, then he led Yuniang out of the crowd and came to Qiao Zheng.

Qiao Zheng didn't react at first, he just stood there blankly, looking at Yuniang and Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "Uncle Qiao Shi, Ziheng brought Yuniang back to have a look..."

"Ziheng..." Qiao Zheng's face changed when he heard Xiao Mo's words, because he didn't know when Xiao Mo came, and...now that the people in Qiao'an Town are making such a fuss, Qiao Zheng is afraid that Xiao Mo will see him. Feeling unhappy, he panicked a little, then winked at the villagers, and deliberately called out Xiao Mo's name loudly, hoping that the villagers would be more understanding.

"Who is this..."

"Isn't this the eldest girl of the Qiao family?"

"Yeah...Yu Niang is back, and the one next to her is..."

"Nonsense, it must be... ah! Uncle Qiao, Xiao... Xiao... Xiao Mo!"

The voices of discussion in the crowd suddenly exploded, who is the uncle of the Qiao family?Who is Xiao Mo?

Who in Shen County doesn't know Xiao Mo's name?And who in Qiao'an Town doesn't know that the uncle of the Qiao family is Xiao Mo?

This is that magical boy?

People began to look at Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo was holding hands with Yuniang and smiling at everyone.
