It's almost the end of October now, and there's still one and a half months to go, so time is already very tight.
There was no Zhu Yuanzhang in this time and space, and no one forced the promotion of cotton, but now cotton is no longer a flower, and there are sporadic people growing it in the northwest.
There is enough light here and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is actually very suitable for growing cotton. Why didn't she think of growing some cotton at that time? Land No. 1 was too barren to grow, but land No. 2 could be planted with dozens of hectares!
While Shen Zhoujin was thinking, he took out a piece of paper and wrote down what he wanted to do at the moment.
The first one is cotton-padded clothes, which are required for both military camps and civilians.
The second one, chili pepper, and an appropriate amount of anti-cold pills.
The third one is the coal mine.
Many places in the northwest have fire pits, but they usually don't burn coal because it's too hot; they don't burn firewood and straw because they can't withstand burning; they mostly burn dried cow dung and donkey dung, which is at a suitable temperature.
But it was definitely not enough to burn. She thought her space already had everything, but now she found... there was still a blank space.
But it doesn't matter. Instead of burning lump coal, you can make briquettes. The temperature is right, it takes a long time, and it's cheap.
Today's houses are not sealed, and there is no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning.
Huo Lingjue knocked on the door outside, then came in, looked at what she had written, and asked, "Are you here in time?"
"It's in time," Shen Zhoujin showed him the map: "Let's go over there tomorrow and take a look. It's only a day's journey by horse. I'll go there with the secret guards. If the location is good, I'll buy the place first." Let’s talk after we come down.”
Huo Ling absolutely responded.
Shen Zhoujin first asked someone to call Qin Mu, the leader of the secret guard, and then asked him to pick twenty people and wait outside the city early tomorrow morning to set off with them.
After dinner, he called Qin Yunchiao over again.
Qin Yunchiao came very quickly, but he looked a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Emperor Wu Xuan's shadow guard Guan Ning has not yet arrived, but the letter has just been passed to him.
As soon as he heard that he was asked to report Shen Zhoujin's words, deeds, and contacts one by one, he began to feel weak.
He thought he could still read people. Shen Zhoujin seemed carefree. She just used it when Wu Ge came to her door, as if she didn't care at all... But he just felt that if he betrayed her, he would definitely regret it. .
Is this considered betrayal?
He sat down impatiently, wishing he could write "good boy" on his forehead.
Huo Lingbu came over soon and sat down at the table.
Both were cheap cousins, and both were beautiful boys with big eyes. Shen Zhoujin couldn't help but compare them.
Although Qin Yunchiao is quite smart, his temperament is really naughty, gentle and soft, he is really a little naughty dog.
Huo Lingjue, on the other hand, has a cartoon face with delicate and cold lines. Inside the boy's shell is the soul of an old fox. When outsiders are around, he can easily assume the appearance of a boy, without even the energy of a person who has not experienced the world deeply. Like 10%, this acting skill, to be honest, she is ashamed of herself.
Shen Zhoujin said: "I watch the sky at night, and it will be a very cold winter in the Northwest this year."
Qin Yunchiao had no doubts or surprises at all. It seemed that in his mind, her observing the sky at night was just a basic operation.
Shen Zhoujin continued: "It's a severe cold that you can't imagine. Many people may freeze to death. Even in the military camp, it shouldn't be avoided."
Qin Yunchiao's expression became serious: "Then, what will Jin'er do?"
Shen Zhoujin said: "I am going to donate a large amount of cotton-padded clothes, chili peppers, and anti-cold medicine to the military camp, in the name of my mother. I am also going to buy a coal mine, or find a coal mine, and then use it as a donation." At a relatively low price, or in the form of hired labor, coal and cotton-padded clothes can be sold to the public as much as possible."
She said with a serious face: "I don't know how much I can do, but I will try my best. When the time comes, I will do it in the name of my master."
Shen Zhoujin does not consider herself to be a person with great love. She has a habit of wanting others to know her good deeds.
Just like the two pieces of land and cotton-padded clothes at that time, if it hadn't been about the real and fake daughter, even if the things were not hers and were just a favor, she would have written some novels.
After all, human nature is very complicated. Things like favors and grudges can be seen everywhere. Blindly giving away is not necessarily a good thing.
So now, even if these supplies are nothing to her and she will never travel again in the future, she will leave them alone...she will never give them to her in vain.
Qin Yunqiao understood it instantly.
He immediately said: "Don't worry, Princess Changning is benevolent and righteous. I will definitely write a letter to explain. Shen Shen's ancient healing medicine has saved tens of thousands of people in the northwest. Such great merits will be rewarded by my father."
Shen Zhoujin nodded, very satisfied.
Yes, you must have a title and a city.
Don't underestimate a title. This is a huge class leap. If the master has a title, he will be a person of status when his senior brother takes the imperial examination.
Moreover, in the future...if Master and mother can really get together, then they will be a perfect match, and no one will laugh at Master for being so high-spirited.
Of course, you can't change your title by doing good deeds. Wouldn't that mean selling your title?
That’s why I need the lovely little Qiaoqiao to help me with the operation. I sincerely do good deeds without any regrets or asking for anything in return. The Eighth Prince is so enthusiastic about asking for credit for me, and then the imperial court is grateful for my good deeds and conferred a royal title on me...Three parties The image is very bright.
Qin Yunchiao glanced at her and continued as if unintentionally: "It just so happens that my father is also very concerned about this place recently. When I was eating tonight, I stared at Jin'er for a long time!"
Shen Zhoujin raised his eyebrows and understood instantly.
She and Huo Ling absolutely looked at each other.
Tonight? That thing happened yesterday?
so?
Could it be that by waking up the third prince, she unintentionally brought back Emperor Wu Xuan's memory?
The two couldn't help but look at each other again, their eyes slowly brightening.
If Emperor Wu Xuan regains his memory, that will definitely be a good thing!
You must know how Emperor Wu Xuan became seriously ill, how he wrote the edict, how the third prince became the prince... They don't know the details of this, but how could Emperor Wu Xuan himself not know!
In this case, not only that the third prince will definitely have no good fruits to eat, but also that the supporters of the third prince in the upper court, that is, their enemies, Emperor Wu Xuan will definitely be on guard and will definitely deal with them if there is a chance. There is no need at all. They bother.
And if he has memories and has the opportunity to talk to him about what happened after his death, he won't believe it. Whatever Huo Lingjue wants to do will be more convenient and smooth.
Thinking about it like this, I almost want to go to the palace right now and chat with the emperor.
As for him letting Qin Yunchiao spy...she was not "powerful" at all in her previous life, she was just an unlucky adopted daughter with no power to fight back.
With this life suddenly becoming so legendary, it is not surprising that Emperor Wu Xuan would be the first to think of checking her out.
But she is not worried about being tabooed by the king, because she has countless "weak spots", including her master, senior brothers, mother-in-law, uncles, and apprentices. Moreover, her senior brother is also interested in the imperial examination and is about to send her to the door. So no matter how powerful she is, the emperor It’s also reassuring.
In short, Emperor Wu Xuan's ability to regain his memory is really more useful than anyone else's.
Qin Yunchiao was confused. He never expected that when he heard that he was going to be monitored by the emperor, what were the expressions of these two people? Not only were they not nervous, but they were also a little happy.
Then Shen Zhoujin said magnanimously: "It doesn't matter, I can tell people everything."
Qin Yunchiao was relieved and felt relaxed: "So where is Jin'er going to find coal? Can I go with him?"
Before Shen Zhoujin could answer, Huo Lingjue suddenly spoke and said, "There are still some things here that need people to do."
"Yes," Shen Zhoujin said immediately: "There is something going on here, and I'm not comfortable leaving it to the secret guards. Why don't I ask Xiaoqiao to help me."
