I, the fox clan, Arita!

Lingshu held his second son in his arms, waiting left and right, but he couldn't wait until Xiao Zhizhi turned back into a fox.

He also wanted to wait for his son to transform back, so that he could bring the three cubs home!

When he came here, he brought the cubs with him, so he couldn't hold a milk doll when he went back, right? If he was seen by others, how would he explain it?

Seeing that it was getting late, Lingshu had no choice but to hide his second son behind the cotton pile, and went out to find Wei Jiu who followed him to protect his safety, and asked Wei Jiu to give Wei Xiuya a message.

After waiting for a while, Wei Xiuya came to pick up his daughter-in-law and sons in a carriage. When he went out, he hugged the baby and covered it with a piece of silk.

Although it was a bit strange to be like this on a hot day, fortunately, the farmers and artisans in this farm didn't dare to look directly at Wei Xiuya. Even if they saw something wrapped in silk, no one would think that there was a little doll inside.

As soon as the family got into the carriage, Wei Xiuya eagerly tore apart the silk and satin, staring at his second son as if looking at some treasure.

Wei Xiuya didn't take a good look at Xiao Zhizhi just now because he was worried about being seen by others in the craftsman's room.

Looking at the milk doll in his arms now, the more he looks at it, the more he feels happy.

My son is so cute!

The nose, the mouth, are like him, the eyes are round, but the outline is like when he first met Lingshu, when Lingshu didn't grow up.

Presumably, his son's eyes will be as beautiful as Lingshu in the future!

Wei Xiuya kissed his second son's chubby face resoundingly, feeling happy, and sighed: "The second son will also change into a human form. I wonder when you, the eldest brother, will be able to change?"

As he spoke, he touched the pure white little fox lying on Lingshu's lap.

The fox cub looked bored, opened his mouth and yawned, obviously not interested in transforming into a human form.

Wei Xiuya smiled helplessly, and patted his eldest son's head, "You, why are you so lazy."

The pure white hair ball licked his father's hand.

Too boring, too lazy to bother.

After Xiaozhizhi became a human, she never turned back into a little fox.

A few days later, Lingshu accepted this fact, and began to teach his second son human behavior, and immediately brought back some cotton cloth from the first batch of cotton cloth made in the royal farm, and asked the embroiderer to make it for his precious second son. Wearing a soft sweat-absorbent little clothes.

The style of the small clothes imitated the style of clothing on the Lingshu home planet, very simple, short jacket, double-breasted tie, small shorts, slits, very cool in summer, and small soft-soled shoes.

In the first few days, Milkman was still unaccustomed to his human form, but after a while, he quickly learned to take shape.

Although walking upright is still not very stable, but when eating, he will obediently hold the spoon and eat the porridge bite by mouthful seriously. Sometimes he wants to feed the elder brother and younger brother, but the elder brother ignores him at all, only the younger brother will rub come over.

The one thing Wei Xiuya looks forward to most every day is to hug his own wife and precious sons after returning from duty.

The first batch of cotton quilts and cotton cloth made on the farm and dozens of cotton jackets were sent to the palace.

The new emperor Yuan Xizhe ordered people to send cotton quilts and cotton jackets to the north that day, and distribute them to the generals guarding the frontier one by one, so that they could try them out first.

This month, Shengjing is still unbearably hot, but the north has already started to cool down. Yuan Xizhe intends to try it out by himself, but the temperature in Shengjing is really not suitable for covering such a thick quilt, and it is impossible to wear a cotton jacket. It can be sent to the north first, so that the generals can write down their feelings in the notebook after using it and present it.

The cotton cloth Yuan Xizhe was ordered by the embroiderer in the palace to make a middle coat, and sent it to the concubines in the harem for them to try on. They also shared a piece of cotton cloth, and asked the ministers to write down their feelings after trying it.

The ministers did not dare to be negligent, took the cotton cloth, and hurriedly asked the family members and embroiderers to rush to make it after returning home. They made several cotton clothes that night, and selected a few important family members to try them on. wear.

So early the next morning, various excerpts appeared on Yuan Xizhe's dragon case.

Naturally, the feedback Yuan Xizhe received was all praising cotton cloth, and some civil servants even wrote poems about cotton, extolling the benefits of cotton.

Originally, this was an important move that benefited the country and the people, and it was vigorously recommended by the young new emperor. Naturally, there was applause from all over the court.

"Your Majesty—" In the morning court this morning, a white-haired veteran came out and bowed to the ground, "I still have a few acres of poor land in my hometown. I beg the emperor to give me cottonseed. I am willing to plant cotton and give the first Donate a year's harvest to the common people!"

After the old minister finished speaking, another minister came out and bowed down: "I am willing too! Please the emperor give me cottonseed!"

Immediately afterwards, several ministers knelt down: "I am also willing! I implore the emperor to give you cottonseed!"

With these ministers at the beginning, the rest of the courtiers in the hall saluted in unison: "I beg the emperor to give you cottonseed!"

"Everyone is flat," Yuan Xizhe was overjoyed, ordered the courtiers to stand up, and said with a smile, "I am very pleased that you have this kind of awareness. Speaking of this cotton, I started looking for it when I was still King Fu .”

"Every winter, my people in Daqing will inevitably freeze to death because of the cold weather. At that time, I wondered if there is something that can be as warm as silk, but as cheap as linen, so I sent people to Search everywhere in the north and south of the river."

"Last year, I finally found cotton in a remote place, but the yield was extremely low, and it could not be popularized at all. Later, with the mentality of trying, someone gave the seeds to a strange person. I never expected that this strange person You really know how to grow cotton!"

"Without him, everyone would not see cotton now. I originally decided to popularize cotton planting methods. Liu Aiqing, you will be in charge of this matter. I will give you all the cotton seeds harvested this season. Assist from the side."

"The minister takes orders!" After the emperor's voice fell, a minister knelt down and said, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's great trust!"

This person is Mr. Liu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The rest of the crowd followed the mountain and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty—long live—!"

"Pingshen." Yuan Xizhe nodded in satisfaction, and was about to ask the ministers if they had any other opinions, when one person came out and asked:

"May I ask Your Majesty, who is that strange man who can grow cotton? I admire him deeply. I wonder if Your Majesty can tell me the name of that strange man. I want to pay a visit!"

Yuan Xizhe sneered, shook his head and said: "He is the one who is most afraid of trouble, I think you should not go to him."

Another minister said: "Your Majesty! This strange man has made such a great contribution to our Daqing, he should be rewarded!"

A group of ministers said in unison: "Yes, yes, yes! It should be rewarded!"

"If you don't give a reward, won't it cool the hearts of strange people? If this is spread, if there are other talents with thaumaturgy in the future, they will not be willing to show up!"

"As long as the emperor agrees, our Ministry of Industry welcomes him!"

"Are you stupid? Everyone relies on scientific examinations to become officials. A commoner goes to the Ministry of Industry without passing the examination. What do you think we have been studying hard for many years?"

"Odd people are naturally different from ordinary people! If you can grow cotton, I welcome you to the Ministry of Industry!"

"You are unreasonable!"

"Anyway, strange people should be rewarded. Do you agree or not?"

"Of course there must be rewards, but we in Daqing have never had a precedent for awarding officials!"

Another said: "It's really not feasible to bestow officials."

……

For a while, the hall was as noisy as a vegetable market, and the main hall was full of buzzing discussions.

"Cough cough..." Emperor Yuan Xizhe coughed a few times, and all the ministers in the hall fell silent, lowered their heads and restrained their expressions, and counted the pattern lines on their shoes, as if they were not the one who spoke just now.

"There will be rewards, I have a sense of proportion," Yuan Xizhe said, "You don't have to worry about it, you should discuss how to promote the cultivation of this cotton."

The ministers in the hall began to discuss with each other again.

……

In the afternoon of that day, Wei Xiuya and Ling Shu were invited to the palace by the emperor to have an audience.

In the imperial study room, after the two bowed down to the new emperor Yuan Xizhe, Yuan Xizhe asked Lingshu with a smile: "What reward do you want? Gold and silver or a title?"

Ling Shu blinked his eyes and asked, "How much gold and silver are there? What is the title?"

Yuan Xizhe said: "Gold and silver, that is 100 taels of gold, if you are titled, I will give you a county title."

Lingshu thought for a while, and now he doesn't seem to be short of money. As for the county marquis, there is a high possibility that the fief is in Pingliang County, and all taxes in Pingliang County will belong to him in the future.

Although his title is not high, he is still a nobleman.

It's just that Lingshu is not very interested in the county marquis. Wei Xiuya has the title of Marquis and is also a relative. If he writes such a letter, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels a bit like cooking oil.

So Lingshu shook his head and said, "I don't want either of these."

"Oh?" Yuan Xizhe raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Then what do you want?"

"If you really want to seal it," Lingshu said seriously, "then ask the emperor to reward our Yan Family Village."

"Your Majesty, can you give us a plaque with your own handwriting?" Ling Shu begged with a cheeky face.

Yuan Xizhe burst out laughing, pointed at Wei Xiuya, and said, "You boy, you really have a good eye, Lingshu is really a wonderful person."

Being praised by the emperor's brother-in-law, Wei Xiuya became nervous before he could be overjoyed.

"Your Majesty," Wei Xiuya cupped his hands, "Lingshu is my wife."

Brother-in-law, what do you want to do? !Don't think of my daughter-in-law!

Seeing Wei Xiuya's appearance, Yuan Xizhe smiled deeper, and pretended to be angry: "Wei Xiuya, what are you thinking? Is that kind of person?"

Lingshu:? ? ?

What are they talking about?

Can't understand.

"Your majesty," Ling Shu asked from the side, "Did you agree or not?"

"Isn't it just a plaque?" Yuan Xizhe turned his head to look at Lingshu and said, "This is not easy, I will write it for you now!"
