Looking at the piles of grain, Li Zheng instructed Xu Jingzong: "Give 100,000 stones of old grain and take it to Lu Dongzan." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and wrote down the incident in the book.

Li Zheng continued: "You go to the post house and ask Xue Yantuo's Ashina and the envoys of the Eastern Turks, and ask them if they want food for twenty yuan and a bucket of rice. ”

"Twenty dollars a bucket?" Xu Jingzong glanced back at the old grain behind him, and the new grain he received was only fifteen yuan a bucket.

While writing Li Zheng's instructions on the booklet, Xu Jingzong hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that people won't want it, and the price is a little expensive." ”

"I know they won't want it, I just want them to know that I am the person with the most food in the whole Guanzhong."

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Zheng suspiciously.

Li Zheng looked in the direction of the Western Turks and said, "Don't worry, my grain will not be at this price in three months." ”

Xu Jingzong's words of Li Zheng.

On the second day, Ashina met Xu Jingzong in the post house, and after listening to the other party's words, Ashina sneered and said: "Li Zheng collected the grain for fifteen yuan, and sold it to us for twenty yuan a bucket?" ”

Xu Jingzong explained: "Now that Jingyang's grain is piling up, Chang'an Ling means that he wants to sell it. ”

Ashina sneered: "If I really bought Li Zheng's grain, I would be a fool." ”

Understanding the other party's attitude, Xu Jingzong stood up and said, "There are still many things to do, so I will leave first." ”

Ashina glanced at Xu Jingzong disdainfully, "Don't send it." ”

Before walking out of the post house, Xu Jingzong also glanced at the rooms of Lu Dongzan and the Western Turkic envoys.

The people are gone, and the luggage is gone.

Wang Ding handed over all the 600,000 stone of old grain to Li Yifu.

Half a month later, Xu Jingzong came with a cart of gold and said: "Chang'an Order, here is 500,000 pieces of gold, and it has been counted if it is enough." ”

Li Zheng divided the money according to the old rules, and Tubo only took away 100,000 stone of grain, and as for the current Jingyang, there are nearly 1 million stone of grain.

It seems that the grain in the entire Guanzhong is being dumped in Jingyang.

After all, there is a guy who is stupid and has a lot of money and scatters all his wealth.

It would be nice to be able to sell these old grains for money.

Set aside some at home for emergencies.

Now Jingyang is still continuing to collect grain, and there is no stopping posture.

The price is still according to the original price, and there is no price reduction.

Da Niu came with some eggs and meat dishes, "Teacher, this is from another village." ”

"Sent?"

Da Niu scratched the back of his head and said: "It was said that our price was high, and people were a little embarrassed to collect the money, so they sent some more meat dishes." ”

Li Zheng nodded, "Then take it." ”

Da Niu said: "There are many more outside the village. ”

"All the ones sent should be accepted, and the meat dishes that can't be eaten will be handed over to the big tiger."

"Understood."

The big cow left happily.

Li Zheng said with emotion: "People see that I am a wronged man who keeps collecting food and giving money, and seeing that I am too wronged and still come to send money, the folk customs of Datang are really simple." ”

Xu Jingzong whispered: "Chang'an Order, the heart has gone to Tibet." ”

The satisfactory arrangement was to be used as a business rival for silent vomiting, and Li Zheng was no longer interested in the war between Tibet and the Western Turks.

I don't know if the Western Turks can deal with the Eastern Turks.

The Eastern Turks are not easy to deal with, and there are many war horses in the Eastern Turks.

Wang Ding returned to Chang'an and reported to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty's grain has been sold, and all the old grain of 600,000 stone at the price of four coins and one bucket has been sold to Li Zheng, totaling 1.8 million yuan. ”

In addition, Li Zheng sent 200,000 yuan of weapons to buy and sell money this time, Li Shimin saw a windfall in front of him, "How much money does Li Zheng have, will this money make Li Zheng hurt his muscles and bones?" ”

Wang Ding whispered back: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has recently imitated more than 300 tricycles. ”

"All distributed to the Dragon Martial Army."

"Whoa."

Next year is the day of the prince's wedding, and the Ministry of Rites has been very busy recently.

A group of aunts in the village gather around a newly made spinning wheel.

The hydro-powered semi-automatic spinning wheel is a novelty, and I have never seen such a magical spinning wheel.

Li Zheng carefully operated the spinning wheel, and the one-foot-long cotton cloth was finally made, and the one-foot-long cotton cloth was loosely torn apart.

Noticing the disgusted eyes of the aunts around him, Li Zheng hurriedly said, "Maybe some details have not been adjusted well, I'll adjust it again." ”

I tinkered for a long time, and tried more than ten times before and after.

Watching Li Zheng fail again and again, the aunts really couldn't stand it and came over to help.

The aunt in the village was already very skilled in the use of such things as looms.

After several reminders from the aunts, I finally understood the problem.

After re-making the twisting board, I was able to make a decent cotton cloth at one foot.

Yan Liben also held a booklet in his hand, recording Li Zheng's changes to the spinning wheel.

The aunts adapted quickly to the use of the spinning wheel.

Moreover, such a hydraulic semi-automatic spinning wheel is also very simple to use.

A spinning wheel can be made by three aunts to start producing cloth.

The next thing was much simpler, and a part of the division of labor was used by the village aunts to make cotton thread.

The rest is used to run the new type of hydrospinning wheel.

Yan Liben and the craftsman class began to make spinning wheels, along the river beach, and ten such spinning wheels could be built along the river bank of Jingyang.

Li Yifu made overall arrangements, Xu Hui was responsible for the accounts, and Xu Jingzong was responsible for diplomacy outside the village.

Li Zheng found himself idle again.

Today is the day when Li Zhi returned to Chang'an to visit his father and queen mother, and Li Zheng sent several batches of cotton cloth to him in the palace.

Empress Changsun took the cotton cloth brought back by Li Zhi, and felt the texture in her hand, "This cloth is made of silk?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head, "The teacher said that this is cotton, not silk." ”

Li Lizhi sat beside her queen mother and looked at the cotton cloth, "This cloth is so soft." ”

Empress Changsun also made clothes on weekdays, and before Li Shimin's reign was not on the throne, the life of the Qin Palace's palace was also very poor.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, life in the palace was also poor, and the clothes of the princesses and princes at that time were also made by themselves.

Empress Changsun is very familiar with fabrics and knows very well what kind of fabrics are suitable for what kind of clothes.

"Although Li Zheng's fabric is not as good as silk in texture, it is much better than the silk cloth outside, and it is very comfortable to use, and it can be used to make underwear."

Li Zhi hurriedly added: "Queen Mother, Li Zheng actually has a reluctant request, but I don't know if the Queen Mother will agree." ”

"What reluctance?"

"Li Zheng said that if the queen mother can sell more of this kind of cloth to the powerful, the mother will make an endorsement, and after opening up the market, she will send a lot of cotton cloth to the palace every month in the future."

Empress Eldest Sun was a little surprised.

Li Lizhi turned her head disdainfully and said, "Is this Li Zheng only buying and selling in his eyes, hum!" It's still a dead money-hungry one. ”
