Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 231
To impeach Qin Tian at this time is obviously because his head was caught by the door.

Qin Tian contributed the technology of vegetable greenhouses, and made cotton clothes from useless cotton, which one is not beneficial to the country and the people?
Officials in the DPRK and China praised him one after another. To say that Qin Tian is not good at this time is simply courting death.

It's not easy for Li Yuan to talk about Qin Tian, ​​otherwise it will be chilling.

It's just that there is a shortage of cotton seeds. How to grow cotton next year?
"Dear dears, Qin Aiqing actually doesn't have much cotton. I want to plant cotton widely in the Tang Dynasty, but these are far from enough. I don't know if any of you have a good plan to make cotton widely planted in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Yuan looked at all the ministers and asked, Li Shimin stood up and said: "Father, this matter is easy to handle. Cotton is brought from the countries of the Western Regions. If this is the case, my Tang Dynasty might as well buy cotton seeds from those Western Regions merchants." , Seeing that it is profitable, they must bring cotton seeds from the Western Regions."

"What Shimin said is true, but it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. Will it delay the planting next year?"

"Should be in time."

Li Yuan nodded: "Since that's the case, then so be it."

The ministers discussed again and then withdrew.

Morning mornings in winter are never very long, and it is still early when the court retreats.

When Cheng Yaojingang came out of the hall, he hurriedly quickened his pace. Seeing this, Li Shimin snorted and shouted: "Grand Duke Lu!"

Cheng Yaojin stopped when he heard the shout: "What is your order?"

"What are you in a hurry to do?"

Cheng Yaojin hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord, Qin Tian has taken away a lot of cotton, and he can make a few coats. I want to... buy one."

Li Shimin smiled: "It just so happens that this king also has this intention, let's go together."

"Here!"

The two agreed and rushed to Qin Tian's mansion.

Qin Mansion.

After rushing work last night and this morning, Qin Tian finally had another coat made. The style of this coat is not much different from the previous one, except that it is a little tighter and warmer to wear.

Just as Qin Tian put on his coat and tried it on, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin walked in.

"Oh, boy of the Qin family, you are showing off today." Cheng Yaojin yelled as soon as he came in, Qin Tian saw that it was the two of them, immediately took off his coat, threw it to Lu Huaniang, and said: "Put it up for me quickly."

Two shameless people came, he was really afraid that these two people would be like Li Yuan, who would leave his cotton-padded clothes again, Lu Huaniang was a little panicked, and was about to leave with the cotton-padded clothes, but was suddenly stopped by Li Shimin.

"Don't go, this is a coat made of cotton, it looks really good, come, let me try it on."

After speaking, Li Shimin was not polite, and directly snatched the coat from Lu Huaniang, and then put it on. Li Shimin's figure is relatively a little fatter than Qin Tian's. Qin Tian's clothes are just right, and he is wearing them It's a little tight.

Even so, he liked it very much.

"It's so warm!" Li Shimin sighed. After so many years of winter, this winter is the only one to live comfortably. There is a heated kang for sleeping and cotton-padded clothes for clothes. It's cool.

Qin Tian saw that Li Shimin kept shouting for warmth in his cotton padded coat, without any intention of taking it off, so he knew that this thing might not come back.

Cheng Yaojin watched eagerly from the side, but he didn't dare to ask Li Shimin for it, so he could only stare at Qin Tian and asked, "Is there any more?"

"No, I just made this one, and I haven't warmed it up yet." He curled his lips as he spoke, but Cheng Yaojin didn't care, and said, "Make it quickly."

Qin Tian smiled bitterly: "Duke Lu also wants it?"

"of course."

"Fifty pennies a piece."

Cheng Yaojin frowned, and slapped Qin Tian on the shoulder: "Cheaper?"

Qin Tian was taken aback, he thought Cheng Yaojin was going to play tricks, but he didn't expect to give money this time.

"For the sake of Uncle Cheng's kindness to me, let's say forty pennies."

"Five strings of money, I want it."

Cheng Yaojin laughed, Qin Tian was a little dumbfounded, he felt that he really overestimated Cheng Yaojin, he didn't play tricks, is it possible?

On Li Shimin's side, he chuckled: "This coat looks good on me, so I'll buy it."

As he spoke, he threw a piece of silver cake to Qin Tian. Qin Tian smiled wryly, took the silver cake, and said, "My lord, instead of fighting for a coat here, it's better to do something more meaningful."

Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, and he said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Your Highness should be clear. Although His Majesty said that cotton will be widely planted, will it really be able to be widely planted next year? Not necessarily, so the price of cotton will be very high at that time. At that time, will everyone in the Highness be able to wear cotton clothes?" It’s hard to say a cotton coat.”

Qin Tian just had a little insight. After Li Shimin heard it, his expression suddenly changed. He knew that what Qin Tian said was very reasonable. Cotton would definitely not be able to be planted on a large scale next year. many.

At that time, the price of cotton will definitely be raised. If you can grow cotton yourself, you will definitely make money.

What's more, he has a lot of soldiers under him, and he may fight at any time in winter. If he doesn't have cotton coats, he is afraid that he will suffer from the cold. If he grows cotton coats, he can give each of them one.

With cotton clothes, the efficiency of many things will be much higher.

He raised his head and glanced at Qin Tian, ​​and then he didn't stop at the Qin mansion, and rushed directly to his palace, Cheng Yaojin glanced at Qin Tian: "You boy..."

Cheng Yaojin also left in a hurry. There are some things that cannot be delayed. If you take one step slower, you will be one step behind.

Qin Tian looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He needed to remind Li Shimin of some things.

East Palace.

When Prince Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace, his expression was solemn and extremely cold.

Song Gongqing has heard about the affairs of the court.

"His Royal Highness, are you angry because of Qin Tian?"

"Today in the court, many people are speaking for him. A little Biejia has such an influence."

Song Gongqing smiled: "It's all in exchange for benefits, so Qin Tian cut off the means of making money, isn't it a good thing for the prince?"

The prince nodded.

"Actually, for the prince, now is not the time to be angry. He should find a way to get cotton seeds as soon as possible."

"Cotton seeds?"

Song Gongqing nodded: "Yes, next year's cotton will be very expensive. His Royal Highness needs to support a lot of soldiers and manage some officials. Without money, it is absolutely impossible. If His Royal Highness does not do this kind of money-making method, wouldn't it be cheap? Anyone else?"

"Furthermore, the prince's generals also need cotton coats. Whether it is to win people's hearts or improve their combat effectiveness in winter, cotton is indispensable."

Li Jiancheng's expression moved slightly, and he quickly made arrangements.
