Jia Min's Counterattack

"Thank you, Madam, for your praise of my servant. I will definitely learn from Zhuangtou!" Wang Tieniu kowtowed excitedly to Jia Min.

"Okay! Alright! Get up quickly! Don't blame me for separating your husband and wife!" Jia Min said.

"My wife has given me such a great favor to my servant's family. The servant has no time to be grateful. I just want to repay my wife's great kindness and do things for my wife. How can I blame my wife!" Mama Wang also knelt down and said.

"Look! Tell you to stand up, why are you kneeling down too! Get up and talk!"

"Yes!"

"Mother Wang, I will give you a day off today. You go back and clean up your men and children. Tomorrow I will send someone to take them to Zhuangzi outside the city. Your family will also have a good get-together. You will see each other in the future." It's not that easy! Also, I saw that your little baby egg is too thin, so I asked Yao Huang to prepare some children's food, and you can take it home to feed the children!"

"Yes! Thank you, madam, for your compassion! Thank you, madam, for your compassion!" Mama Wang saluted Jia Min with her voice choked up, and left with the family.

When Lin Ruhai came back from the Yamen in the evening, Jia Min told Lin Ruhai that she had arranged for Wang Tieniu and the others to go to Yangzhou's Xinzhuangzi to be the head of the village. Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "It's better for them to separate. You can't trust them completely."

"I met Wang Mama's man and child today. They all seem to be honest and simple people. Let him try on Zhuangzi. If he is really loyal and capable, I plan to let him try to plant you on Zhuangzi. That cotton."

"Is he okay?" Lin Ruhai asked.The merchant ship of the Lin family brought back some cotton and some cotton seeds. It is said that the cotton coats and quilts made of this cotton are particularly soft and warm. In addition, cotton is spun into thread and cotton cloth overseas, which is cheaper than silk and satin. Softer than linen, it is very suitable for poor people, so Lin Ruhai plans to grow cotton in Daming, so that people can use things made of cotton.

Jia Min knew that Lin Ruhai valued cotton, and whether cotton could be successfully grown in Daming was directly related to whether ordinary people could use cheap cotton products.If you have to rely on buying from overseas, it will become something that only rich people can afford, which runs counter to Lin Ruhai's idea.

"Mother Wang said that her man, Wang Tieniu, is very good at growing crops. He can make a living with any seeds you give him. That's why I let him go to Zhuangzi."

"Well! Then let him test it on the Xinzhuangzi in Yangzhou for the time being. If it is true as Min'er said, he is loyal and capable, then give him the cotton seeds!"

"Okay! By the way, today I received a letter from Uncle Joe. He said that the spinning wheel for spinning cotton has been made, but the spun thread is not ideal. It is too thick and the knots are too obvious. He is asking the carpenter to do it. change."

"Uncle Qiao is quick in his work. In just a few months, he has built a cotton spinning wheel!"

"The old master Liu in the silk and satin village is a very good carpenter, and he made our Qiluo loom!"

"Min'er has so many capable people under his command. In the future, this Xiangyun silk and satin shop will definitely be the best silk and satin shop in Daming!"

"Oh! I'm borrowing my husband's auspicious words! Hee hee!" Jia Min said with a smile.

"If I'm right, how will Min'er reward me?" Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min with a meaningful smile and said.

Jia Min leaned close to Lin Ruhai's ear and whispered something, then ran into the inner room with a coquettish smile.Lin Ruhai was taken aback by Jia Min's words, then laughed and entered the inner room after Jia Min.

In the capital, King Yan received the emperor's summons on his way back to the northeast, and first turned to enter the capital.The emperor called both Jia Daishan and King Yan to the imperial study, and showed them the letter sent back by the royal secret agent.

"This... this king of Shu is so daring, he dared to support dead soldiers and private soldiers! I thought that he was instigated by Na Xia Lewu to win over the officials in the middle of Shu, but I didn't expect..." King Yan was shocked.

"Hmph! This fourth son of mine is very ambitious! He has already been sent to the middle of Shu by Zhen, and he is still restless. He is also a fool. I don't know the origin of Xia Lewu, so he was just provoked by others. Let them be used obediently!"

"Your Majesty! My minister thinks that this Xia Lewu must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise he will really cause trouble in the Great Ming, and the Tatars will take the opportunity to send troops to us, and we will fall into a passive situation where both sides attack, and the consequences will be disastrous. !” Jia Daishan said in a deep voice.He already knew that Jia Zheng was now an official in the Shu Palace. Although he had long been prepared to give up his second son, it was his own blood after all, and he didn't want to see his son die unless it was absolutely necessary.Therefore, it is necessary to immediately stop the King of Shu from continuing, and not let him cause a catastrophe.

"Duke Rong is right! Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed!" King Yan also frowned.

"But how can we catch that Xia Lewu? This man is very cunning, and his whereabouts are hard to figure out. At present, we only know that he is in Sichuan, but there is no specific hiding place for him!" The emperor was also very worried. .

"Your Majesty, I have an idea, that is... maybe not being aboveboard!" Jia Daishan said.

"Let's hear it, if it's really feasible, I don't have to be an upright gentleman!"

"Your Majesty, our people can't find Chareu, but there are people in Jianghu who can do it!"

"Who is it?" the emperor asked curiously.

"Dayuanfang! As long as we pay a high price, they will naturally have their own way to find someone and kill him."

"Duke Rong is talking about the Dayuan Workshop that killed Zhen Yingjia's younger brother that year?" King Yan asked.

"Exactly! In the past two years, Dayuanfang has gained a good reputation. What they took over to kill were heinous people, and they never missed a single shot. The reputation among the people is also very good! It's just that the identity of this killer can't be revealed. It sounds great!"

"Do they really have the ability to find Chareu and kill him?" the emperor asked Jia Daishan after pondering for a long time.

"Weichen heard that among those people they killed, some of them didn't even know their whereabouts, but they were found and killed by the people of Dayuanfang. Weichen thought it was worth taking a risk, anyway, even if it failed We won’t startle the snake if we do it, and let the king of Shu and Xia Lewu suspect the emperor, we won’t have any loss!”

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair and squinted his eyes for a while, then said to Jia Daishan: "Leave this matter to Daishan. King Yan, you should go back to Yangcheng as soon as possible, and be on guard against Zhao Qian and King Tatar." Is there any movement?"
