Chapter 745 Money can’t buy a country
So, as soon as the carriage entered the farm, Xiao Nuobao waved to Xiao Wu and asked him where the Liu couple were.
However, Xiao Wu was standing in front of Doctor Wu’s house for some reason. When he saw the young master, he not only didn’t dare to leave as usual, but squeezed his eyes helplessly.
Feng was stunned for a moment, and realized that something was wrong. After walking down, she lowered her voice.
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing here? Did something happen in Doctor Wu’s house?"
Xiao Nuobao took a few more steps lightly, and when he poked his head out, he saw two "wooden stakes" standing in Master Wu’s yard.
It turned out that since the Liu family moved into the manor, they have been very hardworking. Thinking of the princess's kindness, they wanted to contribute more to the manor.
They plowed the land, fed the pigs, swept the yard, and built walls.
As long as there was work, they
would rush to do it. Doctor Wu had nothing to do in the morning, so he took out the medicine pot that he had kept for almost ten years and boiled a pot of Qi-replenishing soup, intending to reward himself.
After boiling the small medicine pot, he put it on the wall. As a result, it was seen by Aunt Liu, who took it and turned it upside down!
When Doctor Wu burped and happily went out of the house, he saw that the medicine pot he had kept for more than ten years had "rejuvenated" and was lying on the stove!
Doctor Wu's eyes went dark, and he almost pinched his Ren Zhong on the spot.
"That pot can't be cleaned!"
"The medicine inside is valuable. That's the medicine energy of my old man, which has been kept for ten years!"
At this moment, Doctor Wu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He stood in the yard without saying a word. Even if Da Wen came to coax him, it would not work .
Aunt Liu on the side lowered her head, the corners of her clothes were almost torn, and her face was flushed.
Doctor Wu couldn't understand why he could still be teased even though Feng Miao, the little troublemaker, was not around.
What kind of life is this?
Aunt Liu felt extremely guilty and was at a loss, "This... I'm so sorry, Doctor Wu, I didn't know that a good medicine pot needs to be maintained, and I thought you would just wash it away after using it. Can you please stop being silent, or you can just scold me to vent your anger."
Doctor Wu opened his mouth, but he couldn't curse in the end, so he had to slap Da Wen, "You kid don't even know how to take care of me!"
Da Wen was really at a loss for words, and stepped forward to beg for mercy, "How can I know in advance, but Doctor Wu, I am willing to be your punching bag, as long as you can vent your anger."
Xiao Nuobao held his finger in his mouth and looked at it for a long time. After he understood what was going on, he couldn't help but chuckle, but he also felt sorry for Grandpa Wu.
So she winked at Aunt Liu, asking her to leave quickly, and then she walked forward with a smile, and suddenly took Doctor Wu's arm.
"Grandpa Wu, what are you talking about? Why don't you pay attention to Nuobao when he comes?" Little Nuobao raised his round face and said to Doctor Wu coquettishly, "Could it be that this medicine pot is more important than Nuobao? Wuwu, Nuobao is going to be angry too."
Doctor Wu realized that the darling was here, and quickly turned around and said, "Nuobao? When did you come? Look at Grandpa Wu, he is so angry. "I heard nothing."
Feng came over and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be angry, Doctor Wu. Auntie Liu doesn't know your habits. When you need any more herbs, my family will definitely prepare enough for you and try to prepare a new medicine pot for you as soon as possible."
Taking advantage of this, Xiao Nuobao waved to the Liu couple and asked them to go to the house with him.
Although the Jiang family did not often live in the house on the farm, Dawen and Xiaowu came to heat the kang every day so that the Jiang family could use it at any time. The kang
in the main house of the mansion was heated.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Nuobao felt warm all over, which was very comfortable.
Big Liu and Aunt Liu were still embarrassed, "Princess, we were too quick just now, as for the miracle doctor..."
Little Fatty stuck her butt out, climbed onto the kang, and waved at them, "That's okay, I'll coax Grandpa Wu later. But right now, this princess has an important thing to ask you two, you two must say whatever you want to say."
When Big Liu and his wife heard it, they nodded hurriedly, and their expressions became more serious.
Earlier, when Xiao Nuobao was visualizing the place where cotton was hidden, the general appearance of the two places in Laicheng had already emerged in her mind.
However, she was not from Laicheng.
Based on a few pictures, it was difficult to determine where it was.
So Little Fatty thought about it and tried her best to describe it to Big Liu and his wife.
After she finished speaking, Da Liu almost did not hesitate and immediately replied, "I know this place, it is the government office of our Laicheng."
Government office?
Xiao Nuobao's face turned cold.
Unexpectedly, there were officials involved in this matter, which really made her feel disappointed.
However, Xiao Nuobao was not completely surprised.
After all, with the speed of Japan's cotton collection, if there was no support from the officials behind it, it would be difficult to do it in a short time.
Seeing that the princess looked unhappy, Da Liu couldn't help asking, "I don't know why the princess asked about the government office. Could it be that the government office did something wrong?"
At this point, Xiao Nuobao didn't intend to hide it from them.
Xiao Nuobao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You may not believe it, but what you said about changing to cotton next year is absolutely not feasible!"
"Ah? Why, Princess, but the cotton price is indeed going up." Auntie Liu looked regretful, obviously she had not expected what would happen.
Xiao Nuobao shook his head, "The rising cotton price is just a trap. This is a trap set by the Japanese to plot against our Nanji Kingdom, in order to reduce our grain production next year and make the people lack food."
Hearing this, the faces of Da Liu and Auntie Liu changed drastically.
Then they were so angry that their brows were locked together.
"These bastards actually want to deceive us farmers and harm our Nanji country. They are so vicious." Auntie Liu wanted to curse and her face turned red. She
shook her head and said worriedly, "No, even if the cotton price is high, we can't harm our own Nanji country just to make money. Princess, we will go back and tell our fellow villagers that they must plant crops next year."
"Moreover, even if you really change crops next year, those merchants will turn their backs on you and will not buy cotton at the price at all. On the contrary, they may even deliberately lower the price to let the cotton rot in your hands. By then, not only will the farmers not make any money, but the harvest from the fields will not be enough to feed themselves. This is the Japanese's evil plan!" Xiao Nuobao said loudly.
When Aunt Liu heard this, she couldn't help but get even angrier. She really wanted to go back to Laicheng right now and catch a few cotton merchants in person to ask them why!
Why did they fool the farmers and become the running dogs of the Japanese!
However, this matter cannot be made public.
After all, the Japanese cannot know that their conspiracy has been completely discovered.
So Xiao Nuobao suppressed their tempers for the time being and said, "Don't worry, I already have a solution and I need to go to Laicheng myself."
"If you two are willing to lead the way, it will be much easier. If there is no problem, we will set out tonight."
