The man from Liu Jingting did not come back and sent a thick letter to Li Xiaonan about the details of the yarn and the yarn line.

Because the looms centered on Pingjiang Prefecture have increased significantly, since the beginning of last year, the yarn market has been rising all the time. It is indeed a good idea to open a yarn mill in Pingjiang Prefecture, but the price of lint is very high. He went to cotton shops in Jiangnan and Jiangbei to check this year's cotton market. If the price of seed cotton is low, even if you calculate it, it is more cost-effective to go to the countryside to harvest seed cotton.

As for the craftsman, he will see wherever he goes.

Li Xiaonan pressed the letter on the long desk and asked Wanqing, "Is there a larger spinning workshop in Pingjiang Mansion?"

"There are only one or two spinning workshops in Yangzhou City. Pingjiang Mansion hasn't heard of it. You should ask Mr. Li about this. In the entire Pingjiang Mansion, the biggest thing in the cotton and cotton thread business is Mr. Li's business name." Wan Qing replied.

Li Xiaonan thought for a while and called Yuting, "Let Awu go and invite his second cousin to come here."

"Okay." Yuting was about to turn around, but Li Xiaonan called her again, "Forget it, let's go over and ask Awu to go to find his second cousin first, and then he said we'll go over here, I have something to do with him."

"Then you have to hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to come back." Wan Qing looked at the drip and hurriedly asked someone to send a message to prepare the car.

Awu rode a horse much faster than Li Xiaonan's car. Halfway through Li Xiaonan and his group, Li Wenru brought a dozen servants to greet him.

Li Wenrule turned his horse and went in the same direction as Li Xiaonan's cart. He leaned over and smiled slightly, "Is there something important?"

"It's not too important. I want to see cotton ginning and spinning. Is there a workshop?" Li Xiaonan asked from the car window.

"There is a small workshop to pick cotton. Each company takes the spinning yarn back to spin. Every family in our Lijiaji has a spinning wheel, and the small workshop is also in Lijiaji. Let's go to Lijiaji first?" Li Wenru said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Xiaonan nodded.

Li Wenru hurriedly sent a servant to go back to report the news first.

Li Xiaonan's cart was parked first at the entrance of the cotton workshop.

The workshop is located at the southernmost point of Lijiaji. It has a large courtyard with a very high yard and the foundation of the house is several steps above the ground of the yard. The house is tall and looks like a granary.

There is a small yard in front, with empty houses on three sides, and the women and children in the house are standing restrained.

Li Shikuan and Li Wenhua are already waiting at the entrance of the workshop.

Li Xiaonan was dressed in fine cloth clothes and looked very ordinary and simple. She got out of the car and bent her knees to show Li Shikuan a gift. She talked to Li Shikuan and entered the yard. She stood at the door of the house, looking at the pile of cotton seeds and cotton on the ground in the house and the women and children standing restrainedly, and asked for a moment, "Are these cotton seeds picked out by hand?"

"Yes. Otherwise, what else can I do?" Li Wenru was halfway through laughter and was slapped back by Li Shikuan.

"Is it like this here or it's all like this? Where is the Yangzhou area? It's also like this to pick cotton seeds one by one?" Li Xiaonan asked in disbelief.

"Of course, the whole world is like this. And... it's like this." Li Wenru glanced at his father, and didn't dare to say that sentence, "What else can it be?"

"Is it really all like this?" Li Xiaonan turned around and asked Li Shikuan.

"Yes, the princess has a better way?" Li Shikuan looked at Li Xiaonan.

"Yes." Li Xiaonan nodded in a slight sense.

She really didn't expect that when she and her third sister picked cotton, she thought it was because they had too little cotton at home, so she just picked cotton seeds with her hands.

"Let's go back." Li Xiaonan smiled and waved her hand to signal Wanqing and Yuting.

"Is there really a way? You..." Li Wenru pulled Li Shikuan back before he finished speaking.

Li Shikuan followed Li Xiaonan and smiled tentatively, "Do you want Wenru to wait for other things in the past two days? If there is anything, you don't need to run back and forth."

"No, don't worry, don't leave the Li Family Club." Li Xiaonan responded with a smile, got in the car, and ordered to go back quickly.

………………………………………

Mr. Ge rushed to Pingjiang Bieye with hot sweat all the way. When he heard that the prince had gone out, he asked Mr. Zhou again, and felt a little glad.

The mission he came here to this trip could not tell the prince clearly, and it was even better to talk to the prince. If he really saw the prince, he would just look at the prince's complexion and still have to find a way to talk to Mr. Zhou. It would be great now.

Mr. Ge followed the servant into a quiet courtyard facing the lake.

Zhou Shennian welcomed him out, bowed his hand to see the gift, and turned sideways to let Mr. Ge.

"This Pingjiang industry is magnificent, such as Hangzhou City industry, but this elegant and quiet really makes people feel refreshed." Mr. Ge exclaimed.

"You haven't stopped all the way?" Zhou Shennian looked at the sweat stains in front and behind Mr. Ge's long gown.

"It's not that I've stopped, I've changed my horse all the way." Mr. Ge said frankly.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Shennian asked.

The servant brought in a wet veil and tea. Mr. Ge did not answer. He took the veil and wiped his hand. He watched the servant retreat, and then smiled bitterly: "The homework that Wei Xuezheng had just sent?"

Mr. Ge stared at Zhou Shennian without finishing his words.

"Homework?" Zhou Shennian immediately stood up and went to the desk next to him to pick up the homework delivered at noon.

Mr. Ge felt a little disappointed. Zhou Shennian seemed to have no idea about this. Mr. Ge picked up the cup and drank tea, looking at Zhou Shennian for the homework.

Zhou Shennian finished reading with his eyelids down, slowly folded it up, stuffed the homework back into the envelope, then looked up at Mr. Ge and smiled, "It's this homework."

Zhou Shennian's tone made Mr. Ge's heart beat again. He put down his cup, pointed to the homework, and lowered his voice: "Is this what the prince's meaning?"

"If the prince heard this, he would definitely have to learn a few lessons. The prince's mission is not the one who supervises the academic affairs department." Zhou Shennian said with a smile.

"Look at me!" Mr. Ge patted his forehead, "This assignment." Mr. Ge looked bitter. "This is not simple. This is giving each student from Liangzhe Road a shovel." Mr. Ge gestured to dig down, "Who knows what he shoveled out!"

"From my opinion, it's not to cut out anything, I'm afraid it's really to do research and see who is truly practical and capable of paying attention to people's livelihood and administration, not only knowing how to write poetry and fu." Zhou Chennian had already figured out his ideas.

"How to say it?" Mr. Ge bowed forward.

"This time I came from the capital, the prince summoned the Pan family's man named Pan Shiyi to the entrance of the sect." Zhou Chennian also lowered his voice.

Mr. Ge nodded quickly. Pan Shiyi was transferred from a local county to a counselor to the prince. This was a big deal. He not only knew it, but also knew a lot.

"Mr. Pan Changshi must know the strengths of his masters, that is, he is proficient in local government affairs and common affairs. Now, the prince attaches great importance to this." Zhou Chennian said.

"Then this homework cannot... right?" Mr. Ge spread his hands.

"How do you say this?" Zhou Chennian looked extremely embarrassed. "First of all, the prince really doesn't like talking about elegance now. Secondly, the prince lacks people around him, especially in Jiangnan.

"I walked a long way a while ago, and followed the instructions of the prince to see if there are any available people." Zhou Chennian looked at Mr. Ge and said.

Mr. Ge nodded slowly.

After hearing what Mr. Zhou said, this matter was natural.

"The prince is coming back soon, sir?" Zhou Chennian looked at Mr. Ge.
