Chapter 73 The arrival of cotton
"Yang You"
Yang Ji'er's eyes were red, her voice trembled, and she shouted timidly.
He looked at Yang You with his eyes, hoping to hear good news.
Although Yang You couldn't bear to make Yang Ji'er sad, such things would happen in the future. Yang Ji'er's ability to bear must be improved. Yang You decided to tell Yang Ji'er the truth.
Yang You shook his head slowly. The guards had not been sent for a long time, and it would not be so fast if there was a reply.
Yang Jier's eyes quickly dimmed. Although Yang Guang was far away in Jiangdu, he would send letters every once in a while.
Whenever a letter comes, Yang Jier is always the happiest. She carefully writes a reply to Yang Guang and writes down every detail of her experience with Yang You, which is even more detailed than Yang Guang's information.
Yang You walked up and comforted him: "Don't worry! It's just a few little thieves blocking the way, and there will definitely be a reply in ten days at the latest."
The reason why Yang You had such a guarantee was that he knew that the longest time that Daxingcheng and Yang Guang had lost contact in history was only one month. Now this month has passed, and in another ten days he will be able to contact Jiangdu.
Yang You's magical performance in recent times has given her credibility in front of Yang Ji'er.
After getting Yang You's promise, Yang Ji'er calmed down.
Concubine Wei took the opportunity to comfort her for a while, and after a while, Yang Jier, who had been struggling for a long time, fell asleep in Concubine Wei's arms.
Concubine Wei looked at Yang Ji'er lovingly in her arms, and gently pushed away the messy hair in front of her face with her fingers.
"Luckily Jill listened to you! Otherwise, I really don't know what to do!"
Concubine Wei breathed a sigh of relief and called a palace maid to put Yang Ji'er on the soft couch.
"Can you really contact the emperor in ten days?" Wei Fei asked.
Although Concubine Wei was born in a wealthy family, she had been in the deep palace for a long time and had no choice but to encounter such a thing.
"Don't worry! Mother!" Yang You said, "The child has sent two teams of guards and will definitely be able to contact Jiang Du in the past few days."
Only at this time did Yang You and Wei Fei understand the importance of Yang Guang.
Without Yang Guang's shock, the entire Guanzhong area was like a headless fly.
Yang You and Concubine Wei briefly explained the current situation and let her know that the power of the government is still strong, which made Concubine Wei feel relieved.
"That's good!" Wei Fei nodded, and a big stone in her heart finally fell.
"I'm really making things difficult for you!" said Wei Fei.
Recently, Yang You has been busy with the disaster relief department, and now he finally has the opportunity to get together.
Before he knew it, Yang You's height grew a lot taller and his body became more and more tall.
"Come on! Try it!"
Concubine Wei picked up a piece of clothing from behind and put it on Yang You's body. She looked at the head of the clothes still on. It was obviously a new clothes made by Concubine Wei.
Yang You put it on obediently, stroked the fabric with his fingers, and a soft feeling came.
"Huh!" Yang You screamed in surprise
I touched the clothes in my hand in surprise, and the cotton coat! It turned out to be a cotton coat!
Concubine Wei blamed, "When I know you want to make winter clothes, I asked some cotton from the Ministry of Works and made a set for you and Jier in the style you asked."
Behind Yang You, there was a lady's cotton coat that was not finished, and half of the snow-white cotton was exposed. It was obviously made for Yang Ji'er.
"Mother, how can these little jobs make you bother?" Yang You looked at Wei Fei's red fingers with distress, with several blood blisters still on it.
Concubine Wei was born into a prominent family and had never done these rough jobs.
"Silly child! You can only wear clothes made by others when you get married, but now you can only wear clothes made by your mother."
Concubine Wei stood on tiptoe and helped Yang You put on a cotton coat. She clasped the buttons, which were just right in size.
Looking at Yang You who was half her head taller, Wei Fei smiled.
His own You'er grew up and remembered the rumors spread throughout Daxing City, Concubine Wei smiled knowingly.
Of course she knew that her son could not go to the brothel, but at the age of Yang You was just curious about men and women, but she didn't know if Ruxue's two daughters had made Yang You enlightened.
Calculate the days, Yang You is not young anymore, and it is time to make a marriage.
As he thought about it, Concubine Wei smiled.
Yang You didn't expect that after making herself a cotton coat, Concubine Wei thought so much.
At this moment, he was feeling the comfort and warmth of the cotton coat. It seemed that with cotton, it was not too cold this winter.
...
The cold wind whistled by.
A long convoy moved forward slowly, facing the cold weather, and was moving forward slowly but firmly.
"Everyone work harder! We will arrive in Fufeng County in ten miles, and we will be able to go home soon!" Manager Li cheered loudly.
"Ao!" An excited shout came from behind the convoy.
This convoy consists of a total of 100 carriages. Each carriage is filled with goods, with goods reaching about two meters high.
There are a lot of things to carry, but not very heavy, because each carriage is only equipped with two horses, and with the weight of the coachman, the carriage is still easy to move forward.
A large ball of white appeared on the corners of the carriage, exposing the cargo of the convoy - cotton from the Western Regions.
The convoy that transports cotton is the convoy of Yanlailou.
The most successful caravan between Daxing City and the Western Regions was Yanlailou, and Manager Li was one of the shopkeepers of Yanlailou.
After the disaster relief department put down a cotton order for Yanlai, Yan Gui immediately smelled the business opportunity and sent Manager Li to Gaochang to purchase cotton.
Cotton is very common in Gaochang. Only through special processes can cotton be processed into white stacks, and most of the cotton can only be accumulated.
The price of cotton in the Western Regions was very low, so Manager Li bought a lot of cotton with a small amount of money.
After arranging the left-behind people, Manager Li hurriedly escorted the first batch of cotton back in person.
"Shopkeeper! It's so cold, the horse can't walk fast!" A coachman took a handful of cotton and stuffed it into his clothes.
"Li Laoshuan, you turtle son, how much cotton has you stuffed into your clothes? You still call Leng! If you stuff cotton, you will become a ball! If you call Leng, you will treat you as a horse and pull it out!" Manager Li laughed and scolded.
The other coachmen also laughed loudly.
Li Laoshuan smiled and continued to stuff cotton into his clothes. The other coachmen looked similar to him, all of them were round.
"I have to say that these cottons are really warm. After stuffing some cotton, they are not cold at all."
Li Laoshuan moved uneasyly and then said, "It's just these cotton seeds that are a bit disgusting."
There was no machine for removing cotton seeds in this era. In order to save money, Manager Li bought cotton with cotton seeds.
"What's the matter! Isn't it enough to get home and ask your wife to pick out the cottonseed?" another coachman smiled.
Amidst laughter, the coachman walked slowly and soon drove into Fufeng County.
The convoy set out on the brick road, which is less than five miles away from Yong County, Fufeng County.
The huge convoy attracted curious people. This was the first time that a caravan of such a large scale had seen it. It took a full quarter of an hour to pass through the gate of Yong County.
This is also the result of the green lights of the city gate officials all the way.
Fufeng County is adjacent to Jingzhao County, and various details of the brothel case in Jingzhao County have long been spread to Fufeng County.
There was also a lot of controversy about the cotton mentioned by His Highness Dai King in the brothel case. This is a magical item that ordinary people can obtain the promised promised by His Highness Dai King. Of course, everyone was very curious.
"Thank you all!" Manager Li said thanking.
Looking at the polite little official, Manager Li was immediately refreshed and full of energy.
The escort of this goods was the most pleasant time he had in his life.
With the post of the disaster relief department, I didn’t meet a small official along the way. If I were to do it in the past, I didn’t have to encounter many difficulties! The endless deductions and investigations have directly increased the cost of goods transported from the Western Regions several times.
This time, Manager Li was careful along the way and found that the big end of the journey was the cost of the carriage and horses and the money of the coachman.
The cost of purchasing cotton is almost negligible, and the price offered by His Highness Dai Wang in Daxing City is not low, and it costs as much as possible.
