"Lao Chen has no objection to this matter......

Lu Fugui shook his head with the board in his hand, and continued: "The horse is indeed worrying about the king, but it may not be able to solve the problem of keeping the border soldiers cold...... There are more than 200,000 soldiers at the border gates, so this cotton jacket needs at least 200,000 sets...... I wonder if the cotton planted by the horses is enough for these 200,000 soldiers? ”

"Lu Yushi is right, if the cotton planted by the horse is not enough, it will not be able to solve the problem of keeping the border soldiers cold, so the horse will still lose!"

As soon as his words fell, Zheng Zhankui hurriedly took over the conversation.

In fact, they are all familiar with cotton, it used to be just an ornamental flower, even if it is the fruit after the flower falls, he has also seen it!

The yield of that thing is very small, and it is very light and thin, even if there are hundreds of plants, it can't make a padded jacket!

Unless a large number of plants are planted throughout the country, it will not be possible to solve the problem of keeping the 200,000 soldiers at the border gates cold!

As long as they bite this to death, Zhao Yin will still lose!

As long as Zhao Yin loses, then the dozen or so of them can be regarded as keeping their official positions.

"Donkey, you plant this cotton, is it enough for my border soldiers to keep out the cold?"

After their question, Li Er couldn't help but start to worry.

He didn't care if the official positions of these people could be kept, he was worried about the cold protection of the 200,000 soldiers!

A few months ago, Goguryeo secretly collected a lot of fur in the Tang Dynasty, in order to launch an offensive in winter, invading the territory of our dynasty, and possibly even threatening Chang'an.

Even if they don't move, the frontier is cold, and those soldiers will freeze to death without clothing.

Last year, because of insufficient material preparation and frost that was rare for decades, many soldiers were lost.

If we can't solve the problem of keeping out the cold this year, we will only repeat the mistakes of the past, so that the morale of the army will be weakened, and the consequences will be serious!

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the cotton planted by the minister has an output value of about 500 catties per mu, and the minister has a total of 5,000 mu of fertile land, with a total output value of about 2.5 million catties, and the cotton jackets that the minister is making now only need three catties of cotton per set, so the 5,000 mu of cotton should be able to make 800,000 sets of cotton jackets!"

Zhao Yin snapped his fingers and calculated the accounts for everyone in a hurry: "Not only that, the minister has already prepared enough fabrics, and now he is stepping up to make cotton jackets, if there is no accident, it should be made a lot now!" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, all women were good at needlework, so he had already divided the work among the tenants, and the men did some hard work, while the women sewed cotton jackets, and the family could receive double wages!

In addition, he also ordered Fubo to hire thousands of women in the nearby countryside to make padded jackets!

And the workers hired this time are different from long-term workers, they are piece-rated, that is, the more they work, the higher the wages they get!

Therefore, among the many women, there were some who were hard-working and willing to work day and night.

I believe that it will not take long to produce these 200,000 sets of padded jackets!

If you sell this batch of cold padded jackets to Li Er, you will definitely make a lot of money!

"Hmmm! Not bad! Hahaha......! ”

After listening to Zhao Yin's words, Li Er immediately burst into laughter.

As long as you have this padded jacket, you don't have to worry about the cold anymore!

"Zheng Aiqing, Lu Aiqing, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Er looked at the two of them with a smug face.

"The old minister has nothing to say, since the horse is so capable, the old man can rest assured that he will return to his hometown!"

Seeing that there was no room for return to this matter, Lu Fugui simply sold it and took the initiative to resign!

"The minister is also willing to resign and return to his hometown, and never return to the court!"

"The minister is also willing to resign and return to his hometown!"

"The minister is also willing to resign and return to his hometown!"

......

For a time, more than a dozen people in the hall surrendered their resignations at the same time!

There is no way, now that the general trend has gone, even if they don't take the initiative to resign, they will be thrown out of the palace by the emperor!

Now, they also impeached Zhao Yin according to the patriarch's intentions, although they did not succeed, but they also completed the task, even if they have no fame, the family will take care of their children!

"Good! Quasi-play! ”

Seeing that everyone took the initiative to resign, Li Er felt much more comfortable!

Save the old guys in Yushitai from getting along with him all day long, and now they are just borrowing Zhao Yin's hand to drive these people out!

"Okay, if Zhong Aiqing has nothing else to do, let's retreat!"

Li Er waved his hand impatiently.

"Wait for the resignation!"

The crowd shouted and left one by one.

But Zhao Yin kept standing in place, without the slightest intention of leaving!

"Is there anything else to do with the colt?"

Li Er smiled and asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, now that the minister has solved the problem of keeping out the cold, next, is it time to study the price of this padded jacket......?"

Zhao Yin arched his hand and said cheekily.

If this deal is negotiated, it will definitely be a big deal!

Now the purchase of cotton from tenants and the hiring of women to make cotton jackets required a great deal of money.

But his money was all pressed on the opening of a paper mill branch.

"It's too hurtful to talk about money......!"

As soon as he heard the word asking for money, Li Er's expression immediately turned to joy, "You kid has no parents or sisters, I am your family, your family needs you to help a little, do you still have to ask for money?" ”

Depend on!

This old picker!

As soon as you talk about money, you immediately turn your face!

Seeing this, Zhao Yin immediately complained ten thousand times in his heart!

It's easy to say anything you want from Li Er, but you can't ask him for money!

"Your Majesty, it's no wonder that the son-in-law, the production process of this cotton jacket is very complicated, from picking, removing seeds, playing cotton, and then hiring people to sew, it costs money everywhere, just these manual fees, each set must be at least consistent money, and you have to buy cotton from farmers, each pound of cotton also has to be five hundred Wen, plus these seeds are improved, the cost is very high, cost-effective, each set of finished cotton jackets, the cost alone will be five, no matter what, Your Majesty also has to give the son-in-law a cost, right?"

Zhao Yin spread his hands, so he made a helpless expression.

"What? This set of padded jackets actually costs five dollars? It's too expensive, I don't have the money to ......! ”

After listening to Zhao Yin's calculations, Li Er suddenly stood up.

In previous years, the leather jackets worn by soldiers were less than two times, but this kid actually opened his mouth to five times?

In this way, the padded jacket alone will cost a million!

More than twice as expensive as a leather jacket!

"Your Majesty, this is only the first year of planting, the seeds are limited, so the purchase price is relatively high, if it is promoted throughout the country next year, the purchase price will be greatly reduced, and when the time comes, the purchase price per catty, that is, a few cents, may be lower!"

"In addition, the cold winter is coming, in order for the border soldiers to be able to put on cotton clothes in time, the son-in-law has spent thousands of people invited at a high price, and at the same time rushed to work, so the cost will be relatively high!"

Seeing that Li Er's face changed, Zhao Yin hurriedly explained.

In fact, the purchase price of this cotton is not so high at all, and the salary is not much, the reason why he quoted a high price is just to make a profit!
