Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 381 Cotton
Suffering is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing...

At least Ju Wendou thinks so.

A few days ago, I was severely beaten by Pu Chuluo, and almost broke this old bone. After returning home, I will take care of it for a few days. But it made him extremely depressed.

He was so depressed that he was not beaten by Pu Chuluo, but played by Fang Jun like a fool...

Just think about the attitude of his own head that he wanted to kill Pu family at that time, Ju Wendou regretted it so much that he wanted to hit the wall...

Careful!
Such a low-level alienation plan, why did I get into it in a daze?

Lying on the bed, Prime Minister Ju Wendou sighed, regretting his mistakes.

The weather is still hot, but autumn is approaching, and the autumn wind is carrying heat waves rolling outside the window, making people inexplicably irritable.

The maids and servants are all far away. Recently, the Patriarch is in a bad mood and is always inexplicably angry. Everyone is afraid that they will be punished for nothing. If it is not a last resort, they will not come within ten feet of the main hall...

Ju Wendou sighed, looked at the old man with white beard and eyebrows sitting in the bedroom, and said helplessly: "It's all my fault that I didn't notice for a while, and fell into the trap of that little thief by mistake, causing the relationship with Pu Shi to be completely broken... I It's wrong!"

The old man had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, stroked his snow-white beard with his hands, slightly raised his eyelids with triangular eyes, looked at Ju Wendou lying on the sickbed, and said in a deep voice: "Pu Chuluo is an idiot, he can't see through that Fang Jun's plan to divorce, But Pu Shi is not just a Pu Chuluo, after all there are smart people, maybe the relationship can still be repaired. After all, without the support of our Ju Shi, Pu Shi is just a merchant, what can he do?"

Ju Wendou smiled wryly, and looked at the head of the Ju clan in front of him: "How can it be so simple? Pu Quluo was a little taken aback, but he was definitely not stupid. He dared to attack me in front of so many people, just to express his opinion to Fang Jun , Pushi has decided to break openly with me, Jushi! Once Fang Jun’s woolen mill is completed, Pushi will benefit the most. Tell me, how can Pushi become our ally again and fight against Datang together? Woolen cloth?"

Once Fang Jun's wool spinning factory is completed, the price of wool will inevitably soar. Pu Shi owns the largest pasture in Gaochang, and his family is full of cattle and sheep, so he is naturally the biggest beneficiary.With this level of interest bondage, how could he not follow Fang Jun wholeheartedly?

Hearing the words, the old man sighed and said, "That's the case, why are you so obsessed with fighting against Fang Jun? He has the support of the Tang Dynasty behind him, and he has united several major forces in Gaochang Kingdom. It has become a climate. Confront him rashly. , If you are not careful for a moment, the entire Ju family may be involved, be careful, be careful!"

"Is it just to watch the efforts of the ancestors of the Ju family be cut off?"

When Ju Wendou heard this, he immediately shouted in a low voice with a little excitement: "The Ju family's 100-year-old foundation has been destroyed now! The ancestors below have spirits, how do we face these unfilial descendants? Patriarch, you were the one who supported Ju Wentai back then!" The idiot ascended to the throne, now that Ju Wentai is dead and Gaochang is dead, can't you support me once and take back the glory of the Ju family?"

The old patriarch sighed, looked at Ju Wendou with an angry expression, and sighed slightly.

Twenty years ago, when the previous Gaochang King Ju Boya was seriously ill and dying, he actually intended that his son inherit the throne, and it was Ju Wendou in front of him.

But at that time, fearing that there would be a dispute over the throne in the future, he insisted on helping Ju Boya's eldest son, Ju Wentai, ascend the throne. Speaking of which, he was really ashamed of Ju Wendou.

The Ju family has been rooted in Gaochang Kingdom for hundreds of years, its roots are deep and leafy, and the family power has already penetrated into every aspect of Gaochang Kingdom.The king does not represent the Ju family, the patriarch is the most powerful person in the entire Ju family!
But in the current situation, if he rashly supports Ju Wendou, wouldn't the entire Ju family be tied to his chariot?Once it fails, it will be a catastrophe of death and genocide...

The old patriarch sighed softly and persuaded: "According to what you said, Fang Jun's various methods have already firmly grasped several forces in Gaochang Kingdom. Even if you expel Datang, what kind of benefits can you give these people?" What about interests? Human hearts are selfish, without enough interests, who will follow you to oppose Datang?"

He was telling the truth to persuade Ju Wendou to recognize the reality.Now that the Tang Dynasty did not attack the Ju family, but still showed a wooing attitude, why should he take the risk of exterminating the family and wait for a king?
Even if Datang is expelled now, they will march west again with an army of 10,000+ in the next moment. At that time, what will resist Datang's invincible military power?One must know that when the Tang army came under pressure, the Turkic people, who had always been rebellious and unruly, also ran away far away, not even daring to show their faces?

Unexpectedly, his words of admonition made Ju Wendou even more angry!
"I can see clearly that all of these guys are white-eyed wolves! In the past when our Ju family was in power, one or two bowed their heads like servants and obeyed everything. Now that our Ju family has declined, they immediately abandoned us and put us in the Tang Dynasty. The faction is shameless! I must make them understand that if they betray our Ju family, they will have to pay a terrible price!"

Looking at Ju Wendou's blood-red eyeballs, the old patriarch frowned, worried in his heart, and warned: "Don't do anything stupid and bring the family down!"

"Family, family, you only have family in your eyes!" Ju Wendou sat up suddenly from the couch, and said angrily: "The country is dead, so where is there any family? Now it's just that Datang can't control Gaochang Kingdom for a while, and temporarily wins over us That's all, when all the forces have surrendered to him, the first one in Datang will be our Ju family! Do you think that Datang will let a Ju family who has occupied Gaochang for a hundred years and has incomparable influence exist? "

A handful of old bones, but stealing the position of the patriarch, is really short-sighted, and the corpse is a vegetarian!
The vision is only looking at the little things in front of you, but you can't see what will happen to those who are waiting for Mrs. Ju in the long-term future?
Instead of having a miserable ending in the future, why not take advantage of Datang's unsteady foothold and give it a try?
The old patriarch remained silent.

It's just that the hand stroking the beard is getting faster...

***********
Fang Jun didn't know the distant capital, and he was overshadowed by his grandson Wuji, and lost a chance to stabilize the Western Regions and build meritorious service. Of course, he never thought of staying in the Western Regions to complete the great cause of unifying the Western Regions.

The environment in the Western Regions is harsh, the terrain is complicated, and the Han and Hu are intertwined. If you really want to unify, it is difficult to reach the sky.Even if they rely on strong means to try to unify, once the situation changes, it will only happen overnight.

As long as his two methods continue to operate and the economic lifeline of the Western Regions is tightly grasped, even if the Western Regions are in the palm of his hand, this is more practical than the actual unification.

Of course, he didn't even know that Ju Wendou's heart for restoration was not dead, and he was still thinking about how to give Datang a fatal blow...

He is now riding his horse and standing on a slope, looking at the endless field in front of him, his heart is beating faster!
This field is located on the slope to the north of the sand dunes, and there are three-foot-high plants growing here and there in disorder.It's just that there are some fluffy fruits in the middle, but it's like a child's open mouth, revealing the white silk...

Pu Chuluo looked at Fang Jun who was in a daze in front of him, a little puzzled, and said strangely: "Have you never seen this thing? This thing is called Bai Diezi, the grass is as solid as a cocoon, and the silk in the cocoon is like a fine silk. The people of the country mostly use weaving as cloth, and the cloth is very soft and white, and the big cannibals love this cloth very much."

Bai Diezi?
This is so cotton!

Fang Jun was going crazy with joy, who would want to go to Pu's ranch on a whim, but found such a treasure inadvertently?

The cotton fields in front of me are like white clouds falling from the sky. Looking around, the cotton fields blooming with thousands of cotton are like big quilts, like layers of white waves, like balls of cotton candy.Fang Jun seemed to be looking at a string of copper coins, beckoning to him gently...

As a guy with a major in agriculture, how can he not know the uses of cotton?
