The three officials naturally knew that the most money owed to Henan Prefecture was the Jingxi Road Transportation Commissioner, but they subconsciously regarded Wang Yaochen and Xu Ping as one, so the debt was naturally not a debt. But they knew that Xu Ping would not calculate this at all. No matter who the state troops on Jingxi Road were, the debts must be clear. This is an important basis for the annual exam.

Xu Ping's hope for the cotton cloth business is not to make much money, but to use this opportunity to impact the original economic system, break through and build, and thus create conditions for the development of the commodity economy. What goes against this is what Xu Ping opposes.

Under the rule of Jingxi Road, Xu Ping must make full use of the skeleton of the cotton cloth industry chain, clarify many problems of the fresh economic system, so that everyone can understand. Every link must be clear, clearly and independently calculated, and must not be fooled by it. If this industrial chain is straightened out, for many interested officials, there will be a blueprint for economic development in the future, which is much more important than making money.

Seeing that Wang Yaochen's expression was very serious and not as if he was fake, Wang Bowen couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Boyong, will the Caosi still collect debts from Henan Prefecture? Xu Longtu is the same year as you, so he won't do such a thing, right? This is a force."

"Why can't you collect debts? The first person to collect debts in the Caosi Department is Henan Prefecture! Since the beginning of winter, the Caosi Department has issued official documents every day, and each item is detailed. It also has a limited time. At the latest, it is mid-winter month. If the expiration date, you will have to collect profits if you don't clear the accounts! Deputy Envoy Wang, the three officials will not clear my flying tickets. This year will be equivalent to a waste of money. The officials of Henan Prefecture will go to the capital!"

Wang Bowen didn't expect Xu Ping to do this, and he looked puzzled: "But Henan Prefecture received too many flying tickets. The three corpses came to find so many copper coins for you? Since Xu Longtu presided over the Salt and Iron Department, he has indeed collected a lot of copper coins every year, but it is also in Xu Longtu's hands that officials and soldiers will no longer pay the salary, and they will all pay real money, which will cost a lot more. With one plus and one subtraction, the three corpses did not spend much more copper coins, and they are really not capable of it."

Wang Yaochen shook his head: "That's the matter of the three departments. I am the magistrate of Henan Prefecture, so I can't control it there. Anyway, the state army that issued the flying tickets must have received the money. If I receive the flying tickets, I must receive the money. This time I will not repay it to Henan Prefecture. Which state army dares to collect the flying tickets in the future? When Taizu was alive, he strictly controlled the redemption of the flying tickets. If he could not repay it on the same day, he would have to punish it. With Taizu's example, merchants came with flying tickets, who dared to drag it down and not repay it?"

Wang Bowen remained silent. When Emperor Taizu was in power, he sorted out the national flying ticket system and stipulated corresponding systems. One of them was that local governments must repay the flying tickets from merchants on the same day, and they cannot delay selling them. With this system, Henan Prefecture must repay the flying tickets when seeing them, and accordingly, it is required that the three departments must settle unconditionally.

At this moment, the public official came in and reported: "Xu Long, the official from the capital, arrived!"

Wang Bowen breathed out: "It's good that Xu Longtu is here, let's discuss it slowly in person."

Wang Yaochen stood up and said, "Since the food supply has arrived, let's go to the back garden to have a banquet. The officials cannot wait for a long time."

"Okay, eat and talk while eating." Wang Bowen stood up and went out of the reception hall with Wang Yaochen.

When welcoming Xu Ping and both sides saw the ceremony, Wang Bowen bowed and said, "I came to Xijing City and did not go to the Caosi to visit Longtu. I was very rude. I was in charge of official duties and could not be free. Don't blame Longtu."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "There is no reason why the deputy envoy of the Three Divisions visited the Cao Festival. However, Zhongming came to Xijing and did not send me a letter. It was a bit unkind. Although I am now on Jingxi Road, I was still sitting in the San Division's yamen a year ago."

"I came in a hurry and didn't think carefully. Don't blame Longtu. You are the old commander of the Salt and Iron Department, and you are not better than others, and you will be grateful for everything."

While talking, the three of them arrived at the place where the Houya Flowers held a banquet.

The Henan Prefecture and the left-behind Office had already been waiting here, and they all stood up to greet each other and had a stir.

After the guests and the host and the guests sat down, Wang Yaochen ordered the food and drinks, and after three rounds of drinks, he ordered to sing and dance.

Wang Bowen had something to do in his heart, and was not in the mood to appreciate the singing of the little lady in Luoyang. After chatting with the officials, he said to Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen: "Longtu, Boyong, let's talk with you."

At this time, Xu Ping vaguely guessed Wang Bowen’s purpose, and did not speak, and went to the pavilion next to him with Wang Yaochen.

On the early winter night, the cool breeze thrust the bones. Wang Yaochen ordered the public officials to bring the charcoal, and the three of them sat down around the charcoal fire.

Wang Bowen roasted on the fire and said, "It seems that this year is another cold winter, it's not easy to have a living."

Xu Ping said: "It's cold to add cotton coats. Since last month, the Yingtianfu began to transport seed cotton to Xijing City. After the city's field affairs have been pressed and bounced, they have started selling cotton coats. Now they have started selling cotton coats. By the way, this year, the winter clothes of the officials on the West Jing Road have not been shined, and they have made cotton coats uniformly."

Wang Bowen asked curiously: "Longtu, what is seed cotton? What is the difference from the previous cotton?"

"Oh, seed cotton is a small broken cotton that is dipped on the cotton seeds. It is difficult to spin, so I have to use it to make a cotton hood. You see, it is a big white lump after picking the cotton. In fact, after rolling, only a half is suitable for spinning and weaving, called lint. The rest can only be used for other purposes, and the biggest use is to keep warm."

Wang Bowen was stunned for a while before saying, "I thought the cotton market for cotton will end after selling it this year. The Dragon Picture means that there is still a wave in winter? Are there many cotton coats that can be made?"

"There are a lot of cotton cloths that have not been sold, but I just wait to make cotton coats. To be honest, selling cotton cloth in front can only count as half of the cotton income this year, and the big head is still in winter."

After hearing Xu Ping's words, Wang Bowen remained silent for a long time. The hole caused by selling cotton cloth in front had already shaken the court. The three officials were helpless. Why was there a big head behind them? Is this going to suck all the copper coins in the world into Henan Prefecture?

When Wang Yaochen saw Wang Bowen's appearance, he thought he had never seen a cotton coat before, so he turned around and ordered the public officials to pick up a new one.

After a while, the public official took the cotton coat. Wang Yaochen said to Wang Bowen: "Second envoy, this is a newly made cotton coat, which is ready to be delivered as a winter coat. You can try it. Although the cotton coat is heavier than silk cotton, it is fortunately thick and warm, which is very good. Especially in the windy weather, wearing this one is much warmer than silk cotton, which is considered to have the benefits of both silk cotton and fur."

Wang Bowen was skeptical, took out the cotton coat and draped it over his body. After finishing it, Wang Bowen stood up and walked a few steps, stamped his feet and said, "It's true! It's a bit heavy, but it's stronger than silk cotton when it's blocking the wind and cold."

In fact, the advantage of Wang Yaochen's cotton and fur is an exaggeration. In other words, it has both shortcomings and cannot be compared with the two. The biggest advantage of cotton coats is actually that they are large and cheap...
