"But why did you decide to go to the Northwest to grow cotton?"
"Last year, Shuyun met some friends from Northwest China. When they talked about the local customs, climate change, and the growing environment of cotton cultivation that I had seen, they found it to be somewhat similar."
I was thinking of giving it a try, just in case it worked out. Cotton is a hot commodity, and I might be able to make a profit.
Don't laugh at me, Auntie, but I have five children in my family. I'm not in a hurry to find them husbands right now. I'm in a hurry to save up some money so I can get married.
Since I couldn't go out on my own, I asked my older brother. He also likes to study farming and was thinking that if things went well, he could save some money for his children.
"What? Your older brother went too, Mu Zichen?"
Aunt Mu was very surprised. She didn't expect Zichen to go too. They hadn't heard the child's uncle mention it.
"For some reason, the matter of going to the Northwest to grow cotton was to be kept secret, and none of us told anyone."
My father-in-law and the others didn't know what was going on until the imperial edict was issued, at which point we told them.
Mu Yi'an didn't want her third uncle to misunderstand her father. The two brothers had a special relationship, and she didn't want them to become estranged because of her.
"What do you mean by 'you've successfully planted cotton'?"
"It means that cotton production has increased. Cotton has been grown in the Northwest before, but the yield was not high."
Mu Yi'an said what she could say, but the Emperor had not given any instructions on these matters, and she did not know exactly what to do.
Although Aunt Mu was not very satisfied, there was nothing she could do when Yi An stopped talking about other things and started to talk about other topics.
After lunch, Aunt Mu went home without lingering any longer.
That evening, Yi'an told Jiang Shuyun about Aunt Mu's visit.
"Tell me, what does His Majesty mean? Why haven't we given any instructions yet?"
"They're probably discussing it. After all, cotton isn't like other things; it's related to the army's supplies, so we can't be careless."
"Never mind, let's just wait. This time, we should make a lot of money. We won't have this opportunity again."
It's a real shame for Mu Yi'an. After coming here, she had two buckets of gold, watermelons, and cotton.
I wonder if any of the other agricultural ideas in her mind are still relevant to this era.
Well, having these two pots of gold is good enough. People should learn to be content; contentment brings happiness!
Jiang Shuyun looked at his wife's changing emotions and smiled. They were both content with what they had!
