All Hail Cousin Brother

Xia Tao came over and said, "My servant heard that there is a silkworm farm on the mountain. Do you want to go up and take a look?"

Yu Youyao was really interested, and went up the mountain along the mountain path.

The first batch of tussah cocoons has come out. The silkworm farmers in the silkworm village are busy harvesting silkworm cocoons, and baskets of white cocoons are carried into the village.

Zhuangzi was open to the outside world, and the nearby retail silkworm farmers also brought their own silkworm cocoons to the silkworm farm to sell for money.

Yu Youyao's trip was very low-key, wearing only ordinary clothes, Chunxiao, Xia Tao, Yin Shi, and a few guards dressed as servants to accompany him, there were only nine people in total.

At first glance, it looks like a young lady who went out for an outing, and it doesn't attract much attention.

As soon as she entered Zhuangzi, Xia Tao, a small-eared reward, had already joined the crowd queuing up to sell silkworm cocoons. She had a smart and sweet mouth, and chatted with them in a few words.

It didn't take a moment for him to inquire about Yi Er's news and come back to report.

"The price given by the silkworm farm is the final price set by you, together with retail silkworm farmers and foreign merchants, after putting pressure on Shi Shishen this year."

"Didn't you let Qian steward them earlier, and held an exchange meeting in Deyuelou, Liancheng? It was just to let the silkworm farmers share their experience in sericulture. Qian steward held such a meeting in all areas of Liaodong suitable for sericulture. The exchange meeting will spread some good silkworm breeding experience to the local silkworm farmers, and the silkworm farmers have benefited. The quality of the silkworms raised this year are all good, and I am even more grateful to you.

"The retail silkworm farmers in the Liaodong area were not willing to sell their silkworm cocoons to them because they were oppressed by the gentry in the past. In order to buy silkworm cocoons from retail investors, some gentry raised the price of silkworm cocoons by one level, but the silkworm farmers have been deceived in the past. Too bad, there are still a few people willing to sell.”

"Silkworm farmers, they all sell silkworm cocoons to the nearby silkworm farms who have made a deal with you, as well as the silkworm farms of foreign merchants. I heard that the local gentry who raised silkworms lost a lot of money."

"The owner behind this silkworm farm is a retail silkworm farmer who has signed a sale and purchase contract with the silkworm farm under your name. The silkworm cocoons collected by the silkworm farm will be supplied to the silkworm farm under your name, and the money steward will also release it. If so, how much is charged, and the price is strictly in accordance with the regulations.”

"Miss has rectified the sericulture business in the Liaodong area. Many retail investors have expanded the scale of sericulture, and even the common people have raised silkworms in their own homes. Many new sericulture farms have been opened in the Liaodong area. A group of disaster victims caught up with the first season of spring silkworms, but within a few days, the output of spring silkworms has far exceeded the previous ones."

"..."

Xia Tao trumpeted and talked about the situation in Canzhuang.

Yu Youyao listened carefully, and heard from the county magistrate Liancheng earlier that there has been a tradition of raising silkworms in Liaodong since ancient times. , will also incidentally raise some silkworms at home to improve the conditions at home.

The people have extra income and live a good life.

Only later, the gentry controlled the resources in the north. The price of silkworm cocoons was too low, and the scale of silkworm breeding was too small. Not only could they not be profitable, but they would be thankless.

The farmers gradually stopped raising silkworms.

The use of silk is too many, and it is also a consumable. The annual production of silk in the Zhou Dynasty is simply not enough to consume, not to mention the need to export trade overseas. Naturally, the more the better.

She expects that this year, 300,000 secluded troops will wear the latest armor.

Yu Youyao was very pleased to hear that the people in Liaodong were very enthusiastic about raising silkworms.

Because their group is not here to sell silkworm cocoons, or they are low-key, but those with a little vision can still see it.

The steward at Canzhuang also noticed Xia Tao's actions to inquire about the news, and he was inevitably a little wary, so he couldn't help but pay more attention secretly.

The steward looked more and more shocked, and always felt that this group of people was not simple.

Until he attracted one of the "housemen" because of spying on the nobles, with a warning look, the manager suddenly came up with an incredible idea.

The noble just now, is it the Princess Shaoyi who went on tour in a micro-clothing suit?

It is not without reason that he would guess so.

The son of the steward worked under the command of King Wu Mu, and he was no stranger to the well-trained warriors with the iron-blooded aura on their bodies.

In this group, except for the two maids, and the noble person who was much smaller than the average northern woman, the rest were all well-trained warriors.

In this way, it is not difficult to infer the identity of this nobleman.

The steward's surprise was no trivial matter. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he hurriedly went to find the owner.

When the owner heard that the Lord of Shaoyi was coming, he was also shocked: "Really, really is the Lord of Shaoyi? The Lord of Shaoyi has been sent to our village? How is this possible?"

The steward's face was solemn: "It should be inseparable from ten to seven or eight. Although the Shaoyi County Master is dressed in ordinary clothes, he has a great style, but he can't hide it from others. There is no one in the north of us that has such a demeanor."

This time, the owner also believed it for seven or eight points, and panicked for a while: "This, how can this be fixed?"

The steward also felt embarrassed. It was obvious that the owner of the six gods had no masters, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Don't worry, the Lord Shaoyi is kind and generous, and our Zhuangzi is also in serious business. As for the situation of Cangzhuang, you also know that the Lord of Shaoyi attaches great importance to the sericulture in the eastern Liaoning area."

The owner finally calmed down, and the flustered expression on his face also turned into respect: "You are right, if it wasn't for the Shaoyi County Lord joining our retail investors and putting pressure on the gentry together with foreign merchants to re-price the silkworm cocoons, I would This silkworm village is going to fall into the hands of the gentry, and the Lord of Shaoyi County, Shengshan, must have been submissive to this point.”

Speaking of the latter, his tone has become very excited. The owner of Shaoyi County is so concerned about the development of sericulture, which makes them, the silkworm farmers, even more excited.

The steward wiped his sweat, and also respected Shaoyi County Master.

After the owner was excited, he was a little embarrassed: "You said, do I want to visit the Princess Shaoyi?" His tone was full of eagerness to try, and he rubbed his hands for a while, pacing back and forth in the room: "I can't, knowing that Shaoyi County Master is here, so don't know it!" As if he had convinced himself, he immediately went outside, but after taking a step, he paced back: "However, since the Shaoyi County Master came here in a small fashion, I definitely don't want people to know her itinerary, will it be too rude to pass this way?"

The owner was caught in an infinite tangle.

At this moment, a guy came over to report: "...The group you let Xiao watch closely have just left the village."

The steward was stunned for a moment, now there is no need to worry about it.
