Chapter 267 [The Emperor's Two Sons Cooperate in Acting]
"What did Tianya's brother-in-law say in the letter?"
"Are you just justifying yourself that there is no sleeping girl?"
Empress Eldest Sun put her head up and looked at the letter in Li Shimin's hand. Princess Gaomi next to her also wanted to come over, but was pushed away by Queen Eldest Sun.
Princess Gaomi was slightly aggrieved, and said with a suffocated mouth: "Gu Tianya is my brother-in-law, and I am also qualified to read the letter." ”
"What's wrong with your brother-in-law?"
Empress Eldest Sun glared at her, and said angrily: "I haven't seen you so concerned about other things, but you are more anxious about this matter than anyone else." ”
Princess Gaomi held her mouth again and argued: "I just want to see if the third brother-in-law sleeps with a Han girl, if he doesn't sleep, then my family Duan Lun can also not sleep." ”
Empress Eldest Sun glared again and scolded, "What did your second brother say just now?" The matter of the Han girl is now a national policy, this is the final conclusion of the court, why do you always want to escape. ”
Princess Gaomi didn't dare to stiffen her mouth, but just looked at Li Shimin with her eyes, and asked pitifully: "Second brother, tell me, ...... third brother-in-law?"
Li Shimin spoke directly and said coldly: "The letter said that he didn't sleep with a girl. ”
As he spoke, he unfurled the bird and said, "See for yourselves, that guy wrote very clearly in the letter. The so-called rumor of the sleeping girl is really just a rumor. Although Xiu Ning did take someone to get the Han girl home, and really placed a small courtyard for the Han girl as rumored, Gu Tianya had never entered that small courtyard from beginning to end, and now the news about his sleeping Han girl in Youyun City was all deliberately spread......
Empress Changsun and Princess Gaomi looked at each other, and reached out to take the silk book from Li Shimin's hand.
Then, the eldest grandson queen was given priority to watch.
Princess Gaomi leaned aside, peeping a few times, and asked from time to time, "Didn't you really sleep?" How can it be? Obviously, the third sister Xiuning kicked the third brother-in-law down that night, and then threw her neck directly on the concubine's bed? ”
Empress Eldest Sun didn't look at her angrily.
Li Shimin was also not angry, and said coldly: "Think about it with your brain, how can Xiuning really do that kind of thing?" Even if you want to take care of Tianya and the concubine, it should be a good discussion between husband and wife...... The argument of kicking down is purely to arouse the interest of the common people. ”
Princess Gaomi blinked her eyes and said: "But it is also said that the third brother-in-law was beaten by Sister Xiuning, and in the end, the tiger baby felt sorry for his father, so he cried in the way of interceding, Sister Xiuning can be regarded as dissipating her anger and letting go of the bitter begging brother-in-law Gu......"
Poof!
Empress Eldest Sun burst out laughing.
Li Shimin glared at Princess Gaomi with a helpless face, and scolded again: "Do you have any brains, and you will believe this kind of rumor?" Can you think about it, how old is the baby tiger now? It's only eight months, even if you're already babbling? But what does such a young child know about feeling sorry for his father? ”
"But the rumor says they have noses and eyes."
"Nonsense, if you don't get it real, will the people believe it?"
"In this way, Brother-in-law Gu really didn't sleep with that Han girl concubine."
"Probably right? I know this guy rarely lies. Since he wrote a letter to explain? I guess I haven't done this before. ”
"Second brother? Then can our family's Duan Lun also ......?"
"Don't bother with this, or I'll be angry. Gu Tianya is Gu Tianya, and your Duan Lun is your Duan Lun. Your second sister-in-law has mentioned you many times just now? There is no discussion about the Manchu Dynasty Wenwuna marrying a Han girl. Even if it's me? You have to obey it obediently. ”
……
Princess Gaomi finally relented.
At this time, Empress Changsun raised her head, her face obviously showed a trace of solemnity, and she said softly: "It turns out that this letter from Tianya's brother-in-law is not to explain the matter of the sleeping girl?" His real intentions were the other two things written in the letter. Your Majesty? What do you think? ”
Li Shimin hesitated slightly? After a while, I nodded slowly? solemnly said: "Okay! ”
After saying the word? Fang Cai said again: "The two things he said? I think it's all good. ”
Princess Gaomi next to her hurriedly pricked up her ears, obviously not wanting to miss the next conversation between Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
I saw that the eldest grandson queen looked down at the letter again, and said while reading: "My brother-in-law said in the letter that solving the fate of the Han girl should be divided into three steps, the first step?" Is it to change the traditional concept of the common people? Especially those who are machismo? They can't be made to care too much about the Han girl's loss of virginity. ”
Li Shimin nodded? Said: "That's why I agreed to Wei Zheng's advice and ordered the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to marry Han women." Even I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have to personally marry nine Han girls into the palace? In this way, we can change the minds of the common people. ”
Empress Eldest Sun said 'um', followed by the letter and said, "The second step is life. If Han women want to find a home, it is not just as simple as changing the traditional concept of the people, after all, hundreds of thousands of people are involved, and hundreds of thousands of families will be formed in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to let the Han women have a skill, so that they will not be treated harshly after marrying in the future......"
Li Shimin slowly raised his head, stared at the roof and muttered: "Gu Tianya said in the letter that he has found a way out for the Han women, if this road is taken well, it will completely allow hundreds of thousands of families to have enough food and clothing, and if we Datang are willing to cooperate, we will also enjoy huge benefits because of this matter in the future." ”
"Interests?"
Princess Gaomi stood aside and heard these two words, and suddenly wanted to come over to read the letter.
Empress Eldest Sun looked at her helplessly, sighed and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you have your family's share." Your third brother-in-law said in the letter that this time the benefits will be a little bit of the Li royal family, Your Majesty occupies the majority of it, the royal family shares two-tenths, and the other three-tenths is reserved for the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty......"
Princess Gaomi looked at the queen with a blank look and asked eagerly, "What is the specific deal?" Do I need to invest money? If you need to invest money, the Duan family can help the third brother-in-law bear a little more, after all, I am his sister-in-law, and I must help my brother-in-law solve the difficulties. ”
Li Shimin sneered, directly exposed and slapped his face: "I'm afraid you want to take up more shares." ”
Princess Gaomi made no secret of it, and said: "The Duan family has nothing else, but there is a lot of money in the treasury, and I will invest a little more for the third brother-in-law, which can be regarded as solving the problem for him." ”
Li Shimin snorted and said, "The Duan family has a lot of money, right?" Then you might as well lend some to my envoy. ”
Princess Gaomi changed her words and said: "The money is not much, it is all saved by the little sister after marrying." And it shall be left to the children, lest they may be cold and hungry. ”
Li Shimin glared angrily and said, "I didn't ask you to borrow money, so Gu Tianya is willing to take the initiative to invest?" You dead girl, do you count as my sister after all? ”
Princess Gaomi was not particularly afraid of his imperial majesty, and said with a grin: "Investing money to the third brother-in-law can make money, and lending you this emperor belongs to meat buns and dogs, little sister, I am not a fool, I still know which one is good and which one is bad." ”
Li Shimin's face was bulging, and he said angrily: "You said that lending money to me is a meat bun to beat a dog?" ”
Princess Gaomi swooped and hid beside the eldest grandson queen, and defended with fear on her face: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue for a while, second brother don't want to be angry, you know that I have been a big man since I was a child." ”
Li Shimin snorted.
Princess Gaomi saw that he didn't mean to pursue it, so she cautiously walked out of the side of the eldest grandson, looked at the silk book in the eldest grandson's hand again, and asked, "Sister-in-law of the eldest grandson, the third brother-in-law said in the letter that he didn't say what that property is?" What kind of benefit is it that can be shared by all of us. ”
Empress Eldest Sun did not answer directly, but looked at Li Shimin's side.
Li Shimin snorted again and said: "Gao Mi is not an outsider, just tell her to hear it, she thinks about it every day, and her crooked chatter makes people upset." ”
Empress Eldest Sun nodded, and then said to Princess Gaomi: "According to your third brother-in-law, it is to establish dozens of huge workshops in the Land of Hidden Clouds, and when the workshops are completed, all those Han girls will be recruited into it, and then, it is to buy wool with the Turks......
"Set up a workshop?"
"Recruiting female workers?"
"And then, buy wool?"
Princess Gaomi listened in a daze, obviously not figuring out what this meant.
I only heard the queen of the eldest grandson say again: "Now that the Youyun Mutual Market has been opened, the Turks on the grassland like the goods on the mutual market very much, the Turkic people live as nomads, and almost every tribe has a large number of cattle and sheep, so whenever they go to the mutual market to buy goods, they will drive a large number of cattle and sheep as money...... Even the cattle and sheep are willing to exchange their goods, and there must be no problem in buying wool from them, and the price is so low that it is almost like giving it away for nothing. ”
Princess Gaomi blinked and asked curiously, "What about after buying wool?" ”
Empress Changsun held up the letter and said with a smile: "Your third brother-in-law is a descendant of Momen, and he has all kinds of secret recipes for utensils in his hands, and it is said that this time he wants to make a special textile tool that can spin wool into soft wool, and then, wool can be used to make cloth, and after having cloth, what do you want to do?" ”
Princess Gaomi's eyes lit up, and it was clear that it was like a copper coin, and she subconsciously said: "The grassland is so vast, and the Turkic people have countless cattle and sheep, and every spring and summer, the wool on the sheep needs to be cut down and thrown away......"
Empress Eldest Sun laughed and said, "I will definitely not throw it away again in the future, because the wool can be sold to us." ”
"But it's cheap, almost like it's given away!" Princess Gaomi is a personal essence as long as she talks about money.
Empress Eldest Sun glanced at her, nodded and said, "Now you understand, how big the benefits of your third brother-in-law are." However, he said that there is still a problem in this matter, that is, wool cannot be directly spun into thread, and something called cotton needs to be added to it as an auxiliary, otherwise the pure wool thread is not tough enough, even if it is spun, it is not easy to use. ”
"Cotton?"
Princess Gaomi blinked.
Empress Changsun did not hide it from her, and held up a letter to explain: "According to your third brother-in-law, cotton is a kind of crop that can be grown like a crop, and after harvesting, it will be snow-white cotton...... This cotton can not only be used as an auxiliary material for weaving wool, but can even be directly spun into cotton thread alone, and then, it is woven cotton cloth. In addition, cotton can be used as a filler, to make quilts, to make cotton jackets, it is said that the warmth effect is excellent, not necessarily worse than wearing fox fur. ”
Princess Gaomi swallowed.
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly spoke, and said with deep meaning: "So the third step that guy said in the letter is precisely to plant a large amount of cotton in the land of clouds. But his side of the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is completely insufficient for the people to flee the famine on their own, even if there are enough people, he alone cannot support such a large industry, the reason is very simple, a large number of people rush over to open up the wasteland to grow cotton It is necessary to consume a lot of food, what is he lacking most now? That's just a lot of food......"
Princess Gaomi blinked, vaguely feeling that there was a benefit to be gained.
Sure enough, I only heard the eldest grandson queen take over the conversation and said: "Your third brother-in-law is unable to support the cotton planting industry, but he knows that the most important thing for the major families in the Tang Dynasty is financial resources, as long as the cotton industry can bring profits, the family gate valve guarantees full support, although he is reluctant to share the cotton industry with others, but he is more concerned about solving the problem of the fate of Han women, so he plans to invite all families to go to the land of clouds to plant cotton." ”
Goo!
Princess Gaomi swallowed.
The princess who drilled the eyes of the money almost did not hesitate to speak, and said with a roar on her face: "The Duan family registers, and our Duan family will register first." As long as the third brother-in-law is willing to give out his share, our Duan family can dare to buy as much land as possible, and we are not afraid of insufficient manpower, our Duan family will find a way to migrate the people over by ourselves......"
Li Shimin sighed and said, "This is exactly what Gu Tianya needs. ”
Empress Eldest Sun sighed and said, "But it is exactly what the major families in the world are longing for." ”
The emperor glanced at each other, and said helplessly: "When he developed the Land of Hidden Clouds before, he was so strict about the family's gate valve, and in order to prevent the family's finger infection, he even pulled down his face to provoke people...... The only benefit that the family can obtain in the Land of Clouds is to send the heirs of the clan to serve as a small official, but this time, it seems that the guy really can't hold on, otherwise he will not open this opening and allow the major families to grow cotton. ”
Princess Gaomi looked at the emperor and his family, and said pitifully: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, don't stop you, even the third brother-in-law himself is willing......"
Li Shimin seemed to be extremely helpless, but he couldn't think of any solution, so he could only nod with difficulty and solemnly warned: "Don't be too greedy, at most you are only allowed to buy 10,000 mu." ”
"Second brother...... Princess Gaomi's tone was even more pitiful, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the eldest grandson queen, and begged bitterly: "Sister-in-law, you can help me talk." 10,000 acres of land can only grow many things, even if the price of cotton is higher than gold, you can't make a lot of money. ”
Empress Changsun seemed to be moved by her plea, and turned her head to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty ......"
Li Shimin seemed to hesitate, and only after a long time did he grit his teeth and said coldly: "At most, 20,000 mu, no more." There were so many civil and military families in the Manchu Dynasty, how much wealth did a family of 20,000 mu have to make? When the time comes, they all want to grow cotton and make a fortune, who is willing to work hard in the court. So, at most, it's 20,000 acres. ”
Princess Gaomi smiled happily, and reassured: "Don't worry, second brother, don't worry, my little sister can make a guarantee, my family will definitely do things with heart." ”
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he pretended to be panicked and screamed, "Oh, I've been out for too long today, I have to go home quickly, and there is a nursing baby at home." Second brother and sister-in-law, sister, I'm leaving. Don't send it, don't send it......"
While speaking, she ran out of the imperial study in a panic, she was the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the guards would not stop her, but would escort her respectfully until she was sent out of the palace gate.
……
In the imperial study, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other, and the two suddenly burst out laughing, Li Shimin said with joy: "Fortunately, I didn't let her read the letter, otherwise this girl wouldn't have been tricked." ”
Empress Changsun said: "Actually, it doesn't hurt even if she reads the letter, Gaomi, this girl is the most enthusiastic about making money." Even if she knew that Gu Tianya was anxious to wait for a large number of people to come over, so she would use this method to attract major families, but Gao Mi would still catch up with the plan, because the profits from planting cotton were real. ”
Li Shimin let out a faint 'um' and said, "I'm afraid all the major families think the same." When Gao Mi spreads the news after leaving the palace, those families who drill money will inevitably rush to sign up. And what about after signing up? They had to move the people to Youzhou to grow cotton. ”
Empress Changsun smiled strangely and said, "Therefore, there is no shortage of husbands for the Han women." ”
Li Shimin laughed and said: "Men grow cotton, and Han women spin into threads, which is quite the ancient style of male ploughing and female weaving, which is really worthy of Gu Tianya's brain." ”
Nowadays, in the entire land of clouds, the most lacking thing is still people.
Whether it is farming or planting cotton, as long as there are people in the past, the five states of Youyun can take over.
If it is okay for the people with their families to say that Gu Tianya will definitely not let people disturb them, but if it is a single man who goes alone, then he has to stay and marry a Han girl.
Hundreds of thousands of Han women, need hundreds of thousands of singles......
