It is the right time to plant cotton, and it is even a little late at this time of year.
But it's still possible to sow seeds.
In the evening, Wang Mengyu and the other two prepared a sumptuous banquet to celebrate Zhao Hao's return and his title of Duke.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhao Hao looked at them and said, "Next, I will ask His Majesty to send someone to take over the porcelain workshop."
"Lao Wang, Lao Luo, you should focus more on the papermaking workshop from now on."
"We are going to expand the workshop again."
“In addition, we will also move the soap workshop here and also carry out large-scale expansion.”
"You three should work together to get the two workshops up and running as quickly as possible."
Wang Mengyu said, "Brother Hao, why do you feel your personality has changed since your visit to Shu?"
Zhao Hao was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Wang Mengyu said: "You didn't care so much about the workshop before, you just let it go."
"That is to say, in the porcelain workshop, you worked so hard because His Majesty ordered it personally."
"Why do you seem to be so motivated all of a sudden now?"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Are you trying to say that I was too lazy in the past?"
Wang Mengyu quickly said: "I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
Zhao Hao picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said helplessly: "You may not know yet, this time I came back from Tongshan City."
"Tongshan City fell before and was occupied by the Wu Kingdom once."
"Nearly 10,000 families in the city have lost a member. For every five families, at least one person has died because they helped the government troops defend the city."
“How miserable!”
"So, when I arrived at Tongshan City, I just couldn't stand it anymore."
"I carefully counted the families whose victims had died, and then I made a promise to them."
"When I return to the Imperial Capital, I will ask the court to give enough pensions to 10,000 families."
"If the court disagrees, or is unable to do it, then I will pay them myself."
"You probably know the situation at the court, needless to say, we definitely can't afford it."
"At least, I can't take out all this money, so I still have to rely on myself to make money."
“There’s nothing we can do about it!”
"As the ancients said, if you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can have many wives and concubines..."
"Ah, if you are successful, you should help the world."
"We are nobles and upper class people after all. We cannot ignore the lives of the common people!"
"So, I think it is very meaningful to help these ordinary people at the bottom of society to the best of my ability."
He didn't say that this was his due responsibility.
Because whether it was Wang Mengyu, Zheng Zhiqian, or even Luo Bi, who came from a humble background, they would never think that they had any responsibility towards the people.
This is determined by cultural differences and there is no good or evil.
After all, Zhao Hao is still a time traveler, not a native of this world with clear hierarchies.
However, when they heard him say this, the three of them were instantly in awe.
Zheng Zhiqian said, "Brother Hao, this is a good thing. Although it is not our job to do it, since Brother Hao wants to do it, we must follow him!"
Luo Bi also nodded and said, "Since you have such a broad mind, I will do my best to do it!"
He climbed up from the bottom of society. When he was in the palace and followed Prince Kang, Prince Kang was very kind to him.
Therefore, he was even willing to sacrifice his life for King Kang.
Later, Zhao Hao took over Huangzhuang and he became Zhao Hao's subordinate.
He had great respect for Zhao Hao's talent and ability, and he also saw how Zhao Hao treated the tenant farmers on the farm.
This made him deeply understand that Zhao Hao was a master worth following.
But at this moment, hearing that Zhao Hao was going to do such a big thing, he suddenly felt infinite admiration in his heart.
This was something he had never seen even in King Kang.
Wang Mengyu also hurriedly said: "We are working hard. The reason why we are working hard is that we have been able to suppress the barbarians and the surrounding countries for so many years."
“It’s because we are united.”
"I also support what Brother Hao is doing. If the people are suffering so much and we don't care, there will be no hope for this country!"
Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying: "Old Wang, I didn't expect you to say such a thing."
Wang Mengyu rolled his eyes immediately: "Brother Hao, please don't look down on your brothers like that, okay?"
Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said, "I haven't reported this matter to His Majesty yet."
"I plan to go to the palace tomorrow and ask His Majesty to send someone to take over the porcelain workshop and also talk about this matter."
The four of them drank and chatted, and Zhao Hao also talked a lot about what happened in Shu Kingdom.
Of course, it's all just bragging.
After eating, drinking and chatting, Zhao Hao spent the night in the City Lord's Mansion.
Although he hasn't been here for a long time, the yard where he used to live is still cleaned regularly and kept for him.
The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Wu Song also returned from home.
The two men left the imperial farm and returned to the city.
Jiang Wan'er must have a court meeting in the morning, so he did not enter the palace immediately.
Instead, I went to the first floor first.
Just as I sat down in the study and had a sip of tea, Su Si came.
As soon as she saw Zhao Hao, Su Si said with some resentment and anger: "Where have you been these past two days, young master? You just came back and you are not going back home."
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "I went to the Royal Farm. I have some urgent matters for them to handle."
"Miss Su, why are you here so early?"
Su Si walked behind Zhao Hao and put her arms around his neck.
"Since you are not coming home, I have no choice but to come and look for you!"
Zhao Hao grabbed her jade hand and said, "I can't help it. There is still a lot to do. I have to go to the palace soon."
"In the evening."
"I must go home and sleep tonight."
Su Si quickly said: "This is what the young master said himself!"
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's what I said, I will definitely reply."
Su Si then let him go and stood up again: "I know you must be busy with work, but I really wanted to see you, so I couldn't help but come here."
"Don't mind it, sir. Business is more important."
After saying that, he bowed to Zhao Haofu and was about to leave.
Zhao Hao grabbed her arm, pulled her onto his lap, and was gentle with her for a while before letting her go.
Then he picked up a pen and did a rough calculation.
After the expansion of the papermaking workshop and the soap workshop, the speed at which money can be earned will definitely double.
However, even so, there is still a huge gap in meeting the pension needs of 10,000 households in Tongshan City.
When we enter the palace later, even if Her Majesty the Queen nods in agreement, the court will be powerless.
If you can't come up with the money, everything will be in vain.
So, he still has to rely on himself.
Now that you have agreed, you have to do it.
If you are going to do it, do it well.
This has always been his habit.
