"I never thought that cotton would play such a big role." Li Chengqi still remembers that he got the cotton seeds.

The rich people of Datang raised cotton as flowers, and at the same time knew that white stacks were made of cotton, but no one planted them.

One doesn't know how to plant, the other is to occupy grain fields, and the other feels that it is not as good as raising silkworms and planting hemp, and is used to it.

Only now do the people understand what cotton can be used for.

Cotton cloth is secondary, and it is best to use cotton as a warm filling and to make cotton sewn clothes.

Leather clothes are warm, the skin is small, the clothes are expensive, and they are the material for ordnance making.

"Especially the quilt cover, which is heavier than silk, but lighter than leather and warm."

Li Chengqi mentioned the futon, and he also covered a thin quilt in the summer.

"After this year's harvest, we will bring cotton seeds to the northwest region, where they will be planted, harvested, and tile, and there will be people there."

Li Yi doesn't want to promote cotton planting in the good land of Datang, once it is released, everyone guarantees that they will feel that the price of grain has become low, and it is better to plant cotton.

No matter how low the price of grain is, the people have to plant it or grow other cash crops, excluding cotton.

Such as sugarcane, rape, sesame, sugar, oil.

"Can you delay growing grain?" Li Chengqi was worried that there was too much cotton planted in the place over there, and there was not enough grain to eat, and there was a war there, and the cost of transporting grain and grass was high.

"Gather the people of the outside tribes, give them a high price, let them replenish, they have free time in the process of grazing."

Li Yi had long been prepared for this, the border passes of the Tang Dynasty were chaotic, and some tribes were the grass on the wall, they could rebel at any time, and they could submit at any time.

The main reason is that their rebellion and surrender are forced by the situation, and no matter which one they are, they always live their own way.

It's just a question of whether to fight or not, some small tribes don't want to fight, and it's not worth it to die as cannon fodder for others.

The Shatuo tribe is one of the representatives, they were originally close to Tubo, and Tubo asked them to fight the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as they saw that the situation was not good, they hurriedly ran, returned to Datang, and then stayed in a corner to multiply.

Historically, they multiplied and became a state, and everyone else was abolished.

In order for the tribes to truly belong, their way of life must be changed.

Livestock can continue to be raised, and then there is land to grow crops, the income of crops is stable, and with land and houses, they do not need to rebel.

There are also various ethnic groups in the Mongolian region of Li Yi's time, who eat meat, drink milk, drink tea, and drink wine made from milk all day long.

I don't farm at all, I migrate from grass to grass, and then exchange tea with Datang, and sometimes I change some rice to cook and eat.

Living like this all day long, expecting them to settle down and stay in one place without moving, is unrealistic.

If you don't live with Datang people, how can you have a sense of belonging?

"Big brother, farming together is the best measure to promote national integration. It cannot be a continuation of laissez-faire, it must be guided. ”

Li Yi mentioned the relationship between the stability of the place of residence and the integration of ethnic groups.

Otherwise, the living habits are different, and the other party came over today to be frozen.

In the spring, I took my livestock hundreds of miles away and didn't come back for many months.

For those people, the place of the cat winter is not home, their home is tent and loved ones.

"What if they don't want to?" Li Chengqi felt that what Li Yi said made sense.

But just like the people of Jingzhao Mansion planted greenhouses, there was no one to plant them at first.

Even if the Li family Zhuangzi made a lot of money after planting, the people still waited and watched.

It wasn't until the pilot projects were set up in the counties that the people really got their income that others followed suit.

This year, the seeds were harvested and sent over, and according to the methods of the people of Jingzhao Mansion, it would take several years to delay.

Li Yi nodded: "I thought of it, give money, hire them to plant, give twenty yuan a day, and they are willing."

Or exchange fermented tea, barbecue seasonings with them for money.

Then we go and collect it, and if the price is high, they will wonder, can the things I grow in the field be sold for so much money?

Needless to say, the next year, they were willing to plant themselves. In the first two years, the price was high, and there were more people waiting for the species, and the price naturally fell, but there was still a lot of profit. ”

Li Yi took another approach to the people over there, lure.

Once planted, they get used to planting and feel more stable, even if the price is much lower later, and they see that it is easier than grazing by themselves, they will still insist.

If you can grow cotton, you will naturally try to grow vegetables to eat.

How can the wild vegetables in the grass outside be delicious after years of cultivation?

At least no cucumbers and cabbage, eggplant, cowpeas or anything like that.

Li Chengqi listened carefully and decided to go back and talk to the third brother, which was conducive to the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

……

The people of Jingzhao Mansion are working hard, and the bean worms have come out, no, the moths have come out to lay eggs.

At the same time, the newspaper said about the war, and Sulu took the Turks to rebel and led the white clothes and Tubo to fight the Tang Dynasty.

However, our Datang has also sent troops, and we will definitely not let the enemy succeed.

The soldiers at the front are protecting Datang from bullying, and everyone should work hard to grow more food and send it to the soldiers on the front line.

In the past, when there was a war at the border, the court did not tell the people, and the people did not know.

Only when the Tang Dynasty won the battle and came back with the war report, and the people who reported the good news rode all the way and shouted all the way, the people understood.

Now that it has changed, the newspapers will say that it is still very sensational, cultivating the idea of the people supporting the army.

When the bean moth came out, the people began to look forward to it, not to bother, and waited for the bean moth to lay eggs, and then raised them according to the method introduced in the newspaper.

The grape growers also waited, waiting for the moths in other people's bean fields to fly to lay eggs.

You can't let the bean worms eat all the grape leaves, but you can selectively raise some.

According to the newspaper, grape planting should be sharpened, also called wiping buds, and when the fruit is set, the tip should be pinched, and the tip pinched off should be thrown into the mouth to eat, sour.

People don't eat it, they use it to feed bean worms, and bean worms say that it's the same as eating eggs.

"Everyone can just watch now, don't drive and catch the moth before it lays eggs, even the moth can eat it."

Xiaolan's Zhuangzi has twenty acres of soybean land, and Princess Yongmu didn't go to Wentian Lanxiang Pavilion today to rest.

After Wen Tian Lanxiangge finished delivering the baby carrier, it was open for two days every ten days, and the people knew about it.

The more this is the case, the more it seems that Wentian Lanxiang Pavilion is noble, and people don't need to open it every day.

Princess Yongmu has been living happily lately, she is free and does not have to stay in the palace.

Sometimes he teaches his children in his own Zhuangzi, sometimes he goes to the store, and sometimes he runs to the Li family Zhuangzi.

She doesn't worry about making money, and she treats life as fun.

Other women who have not yet come out of the cabinet will fantasize about what their future husband will be like, and what if they marry the wrong man.

She didn't want to know who it was.

Now she teaches her neighbors how to raise bugs, and the neighbors listen and ask questions, not afraid of mistakes.

The neighbor already knows who this beautiful neighbor is, proprietor Lee.

Li Dongzhu's woman must have gotten the true inheritance, and it won't be bad.

"When the eggs are laid and you can see the little insects, pick the bean leaves and feed them, and pick the shady side and the sunny side to affect the growth of soybeans."

Princess Yongmu continued, a sweet smile on her face.
