Chunxiao and Erqi left the tent, followed by Chunxiao, and the three of them walked back the way they came.
"Sister, we've won the battle, and we won't have to fight anymore. I was thinking of coming to see you in a couple of days, but I had to regroup during those two days, so I didn't have time. Why are you here today?"
"Ask about whether cotton will still be collected, and by the way, ask about you." She looked at Dongsheng's hand, "It's wrapped so thickly, is the injury serious?" In fact, she was relieved when she saw him just now. It turned out that it was only a hand injury. Now he doesn't have to fight anymore and he will be safe in the future.
"It's not serious, just a little scrape. The doctor bandaged it a little too exaggeratedly."
Chunxiao didn't want to expose him. The doctor would not wrap it like this for no reason. It must be because the injury was so serious.
"Are there people from our village in your camp? Have you seen them?" Hundreds of people came to the village before, so we should definitely meet them.
"I've seen them before, but not together. The entire army is divided into more than a dozen camps, and each camp has sub-divisions. It's hard to meet people from the same hometown, let alone from the same village. Are you looking for them?"
"So when the time comes, will you guys plan to go back together or something?" She would also be going back in a while, and if she could go back alone, they could go together.
"That hasn't been specified yet. Most likely, each county will send back one horse along with the army. Besides sending the horse back, they'll also give a few taels of silver as compensation. I'm afraid it won't happen that quickly."
Chun Xiao smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually. You know the location of my manor. If you run into them and have time, remember to go to the manor for dinner together. We're going to hire someone to build our house in the next few days. I'll probably be leaving in late November."
Dongsheng looked at her with a smile, "We can finally go home. When I'm free in a few days, I'll go to the village to find you."
"You're welcome anytime, Captain." Both of them smiled.
Erqi accompanied Chunxiao out of the camp. Xiaohua was already getting bored waiting there. She was pulling weeds from the ground. Seeing them coming out, she happily went to greet them. "Miss, you're back. Did you see the military officer? Did you see Captain Xu?"
Erqi smirked at the side, "Xiaohua, not only did we meet the military officer and Captain Xu, we also met the general himself and the county magistrate."
"Have you seen the general?" Xiaohua exclaimed. "What does he look like? Is he scary?"
Several people got on the carriage, and Erqi drove off. "The general doesn't look scary, but he has a terrifying aura. When he stands there, no one dares to speak. You haven't seen it, but he is very majestic."
"Fortunately, I'm not here." Xiaohua patted her chest. "Miss, have you asked what you wanted to ask?"
"I've asked. We can sell our own cotton, but there's a slight change: 27."
"Boss, what do you say?"
"Er San is busy repairing the house. You heard everything we just talked about clearly. As for the cotton trading, you need to find someone to handle it. You can ask Xia Shiyi to work with you. Set up a spot before the county announcement. If citizens want to buy and sell directly, have them go directly to the farm to discuss the sale with the manager."
"Okay, then I'll take care of it tomorrow, boss, don't worry."
In this case, after the cotton is picked, the cotton seeds will also have to be shipped over there. "If it's a large-scale transaction, let them transport the goods directly to Guanshan Village over here. It will save us some trouble. It depends on whether they are willing to do so. You can be more flexible and be more flexible."
The three of them quickly returned to the village. Ersan had not returned from the town yet. Chunxiao saw someone moving around in Guanshan Village and said, "They're back."
"I'm back, packing up like me."
"What about those from Moshan Village?"
"Everyone is back. The head of the village came here before and asked when we would resume work. I said tomorrow since we are back. Our land still needs to be plowed, and it will probably take a month or so."
"Boss, how do you calculate this month's wages?" I already paid more last month.
"Let's just count it as a full month. We're all forced to do this, there's no need to worry about it."
On the second day, the bricklaying team arrived, and the workers from the village also came. They had seen the condition of the fields when they came yesterday, and now they felt even more distressed and regretful.
The second and third people were assigned to work. The men helped build the house, while the women went to the fields and plowed the land with the oxen.
Zhuangzi suddenly became busy from being deserted.
Erqi has already driven the ox cart to the village on the outskirts of the city to find Eleven.
There were two or three people watching over this place, so Chunxiao took Xiaohua to the walled village again. They were peeling cotton seeds in the village, and the yard was full of people. They greeted her when they saw her. The village manager asked Xiaohua about what was happening in Guanshan, and they all felt nervous when they heard that the cotton fields in the village were burned.
"With such a huge loss, it's impossible to just burn it down without an explanation from the higher-ups. If that's the case, who would dare to grow cotton here?"
"It's all burned. Now the county government has no money, and the military camp has no money either. It all depends on whether the court will allocate money. I'm afraid it will be difficult to compensate you as Miss."
"Well, I'm afraid I can only blame myself for my bad luck."
"That's right, it's really unlucky. Fortunately, the boss has more than one farm in Fengyue County. If the other farms can do better, things will be better."
"What are you talking about?" Chunxiao came over when she saw them talking happily.
"I'm feeling sorry for our farm over there." Xiaohua brought her a stool. "Miss, have you calculated the harvests from these two places?"
"I'm looking at it now." Chunxiao shook the account book in her hand. She had already sold over 100,000 catties. The remaining cotton would need to be weighed after removing the seeds. A rough count would be available in a few days. She estimated that there were about 300,000 catties of cotton on both sides. The county and townships could only count 100,000 catties at most. The remaining 200,000 catties could be freely traded, which would still make a lot of money. This was a business that could only make money.
