"It's really light and soft!"

Su Lingnon picked up the quilt and weighed it carefully, and said in surprise, although it was not as light as the brocade, it was much better than the heavy cloth of the hardboard.

"And it's warm."

Li Shimin draped the cotton jacket on his body, and after a while, he actually felt sweaty, and the warmth effect was better than that of the cloth jacket and the brocade jacket.

The two of them were in great interest, and they were not satisfied with direct observation, so they directly tore a big hole in the cotton jacket and took out a ball of white cotton from it.

The corners of Merton's mouth twitched, this was the only cotton jacket in the world, and before it could be used, it had already died before it could be used.

Merton said: "In addition to being able to make cotton jackets, these cotton can also be filled between clothes and made into winter clothes. ”

"How's the yield of this thing?" Su Lingnon asked.

Merton thought for a moment and said, "Cotton is as light as nothing, and it cannot be measured by weight, but it is estimated that the cotton grown on one acre of land is enough to keep the family from the cold." ”

"Okay, don't say it's twenty gold, it's two hundred gold, two thousand gold, that's also worth the money." Li Shimin said excitedly.

The Tang Dynasty lacks cold in winter, and the rich and noble families have mink fur brocade clothes, but the poor people only lack clothes and things, and even the cloth is mostly filled with wheat straw and other things to keep out the cold.

Every winter is the most difficult season for the poor people of the Tang Dynasty, once the temperature plummets, the sky is cold, and every year there will be an incident of freezing to death because of the cold.

"And the oil content of cottonseed is very high, and whether it can be eaten remains to be verified, but at least there is no problem with lighting it as an oil lamp." Merton Road.

Every night in Datang, it is pitch black, the biggest reason is that the cost of lighting in this era is very huge, and most of the rich and noble families use candles to spend a lot.

Ordinary people use oil lamps, and most of the sources are edible oil, and ordinary people don't even have enough oil and water to eat, so they are willing to light lamps.

According to Merton's memory, although cottonseed can be squeezed out of oil, it contains toxins, and without deep processing, it will produce regrets that men will regret for life.

"This thing is a treasure all over the body, and the early popularization is to let the people of Datang benefit one day earlier, I immediately sent an envoy to Gaochang to get seeds, and immediately vigorously promoted it in Datang." Li Shimin said excitedly.

For the poor people, the last thing they lack is land, and as long as this thing can be planted in the soil, then all problems are not a problem.

"Your Majesty, can't?" Su Lingnon hurriedly stopped.

"How?" Li Shimin suddenly wondered, if Merton objected, Li Shimin could still understand, after all, this was bought by Merton, a kid, for a lot of money, if the imperial court came forward to buy the seeds, wouldn't the Mo family's twenty gold be spent in vain.

But Su Lingnon, as a big farmer, how could he oppose such a thing that benefits the country and the people?

Su Lingnong explained: "Your Majesty, the planting dealer can be different from others, but according to the weather and soil, etc., orange is born in Huainan is orange, orange is born in Huaibei, and orange is born in Huaibei, Gaochang and Datang have different climates, if you rush to promote, I am afraid it is not appropriate." ”

Li Shimin suddenly felt that he was in a hurry.

Merton couldn't help but praise Su Lingnon, who was a real farmer.

In fact, we only heard about what seeds were introduced into China in later generations, but we didn't know that these seeds were also domesticated for several generations before they could take root in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin slowly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was a little anxious, and then took a deep breath and said: "Even so, there are only a few seeds in your hands, how can you try to plant them." ”

Merton suddenly showed a shy expression, and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, since the kid discovered that cotton can keep warm, he has already placed a large number of orders with Hu merchants in the Western Regions, but a large number of cotton with cotton seeds will definitely be shipped in February!" ”

At this time, there is no flower tool, even if it is Gao Changguo to peel cottonseeds, it is a troublesome thing, although the white stacks are more expensive, but the price of cotton with cottonseeds is low.

Li Shimin suddenly froze when he heard this, glared at Morton hatefully, and said, "Do I mean that you kid is clever or that you kid is greedy for money?" ”

It is conceivable that when this soft and warm new cotton jacket is on the market, it will definitely be popular in Chang'an City, and when the time comes, Mo Jiazi's twenty gold will not come with his hand.

"Isn't this a rainy day, boy? The kid not only hollowed out Mojia Village at the Western Regions Grand Event, but also owed a lot of money," Morton suddenly complained.

He even had to prepare fifty gold for a Johor businessman! There is also a steady stream of seeds sent by merchants in the Western Regions in the future, these all need Huang Cancan's gold, and if you calculate it carefully, your eyes will suddenly appear with gold stars.

Thinking of this, Merton couldn't help but look at Li Shimin, how much he hoped that Li Shimin's tiger body would be shocked at this moment, and he waved his big hand and said: I will pay for this money.

"This matter is left to you and the other two, try planting first, and be sure to get cotton that is suitable for Datang planting." Li Shimin directly ignored Merton's pitiful expression, if he wants to talk about the ability to make money, this kid wants to say second in Chang'an City, no one dares to say first, and he dares to cry poor in front of him.

"Yes!" Merton and Sulinon immediately replied at the same time.

"If Johor rice is true! That is the greatest blessing of Datang. ”

With the successful precedent of cotton seeds, which proves that what these Hu businessmen said is indeed true, Li Shimin suddenly couldn't help but look forward to the good seed rice that the Johor businessmen said.

Merton said: "Your Majesty, from the boy's point of view, there is no need for Johor businessmen to lie, and of course the boy has also made it clear that this rice seed needs to be planted in Lingnan Province before the gold will be paid to this person. ”

"It's double the gold." Li Shimin coldly stabbed Merton.

Merton's heart suddenly dripped blood, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If this rice is true?" The Mo family will also pay the amount if they smash the pot and sell iron. ”

"Really?"

Li Shimin's face suddenly froze, double the gold is 100 gold, even if the rice is true, this matter is not of much benefit to the Mo family, and what is the purpose of the Mo family? ”

Mo Dun nodded without hesitation and said: "In the ink art exhibition, the kid once said that the Mo family should lead the Mo family village to achieve a well-off life. The prerequisite for achieving a well-off life is to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Poor and alone, up to the world, and cotton and rice seeds are the Mo family Tang people to solve the food and clothing gifts, Cang Liao is solid and knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, only the people of the Tang Dynasty no longer have hunger and cold worries, the hundred schools of thought will naturally flourish, and the Mo family will rise again. ”

From the first time the Mo family appeared in Chang'an City, Murton knew that the Mo family was destined to be low-key, and Morton never concealed the ambition of the Mo family's re-emergence.
