The Royal Palace, the Great Hall.

All the ministers are waiting for Cui Shaoqing's arrival.

Cui Renshi was a little gloating, he felt that Cui Shaoqing had really fallen into the eyes of money.

Before, he didn't have to do business to make money, but now he actually started the idea of Sinong Temple cotton, he is really bold.

This time, Cui Shaoqing is going to be unlucky, right?

When Cui Renshi was thinking like this, Cui Shaoqing was already in a hurry.

"Meet the Holy One."

Li Shimin looked at Cui Shaoqing and said, "Cui Aiqing, I want you to promote cotton, and you must let the people plant more cotton next year, but what are you doing?" You actually sold cotton, and it was so expensive, I'm afraid you have to give me and the hundred officials an explanation. ”

At this time, everyone else turned their eyes over, and their eyes were not good, as if Cui Shaoqing couldn't give a reasonable explanation today, so he didn't want to leave safely.

Cui Shaoqing was not in a hurry at all, nor was he nervous, and said with a smile: "Holy Lord, the minister is trying to find a way to promote the cultivation of cotton." ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Are you promoting the cultivation of cotton?" ”

Cui Shaoqing nodded: "Yes, the minister is now going to sell dozens of catties of cotton seeds from Sinong Temple, a catty of money, what you want, you can book it now, only a few dozen catties, it's too late." ”

Cui Shaoqing said a little bit of a donkey's lips are not right for the horse's mouth, after Cui Renshi listened, he smiled in his heart, it's all at this time, Cui Shaoqing is still thinking about making money, is he thinking about money and crazy?

What is the occasion now, what is the situation, that he actually sells cotton seeds?

Cui Renshi thought about it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong there.

And at this time, someone in the DPRK and China immediately stood up.

"Cui Shaoqing, leave me ten catties of cotton seeds."

"I also want ten pounds, keep it for me."

"I'm going to ...... too"

A pound of money can be said to be a very expensive price, but these officials in the court did not hesitate to book it.

Li Shimin felt at first that Cui Shaoqing didn't take this court too seriously, is this a vegetable market, and he even sells cotton seeds in front of the court?

However, when he saw other officials scrambling to get cotton seeds, Li Shimin suddenly realized that cotton clothes are very expensive, and as long as they are planted, they will be profitable.

In this way, everyone naturally wants to order cotton seeds so that they can be planted next year.

In fact, if you want to promote a thing, it is very easy to let them see that it is profitable, people are profit-seeking animals, if there is no benefit in planting this thing, then why should everyone plant?

And if planting cotton can bring them benefits, then they don't need the imperial court to promote it, they will plant it themselves.

Everyone is not stupid, it is impossible not to make money.

Dozens of catties of cotton seeds were quickly snatched up.

And it wasn't until this time that Cui Renshi finally reacted, and after reacting, his face was extremely ugly, and he felt that Cui Shaoqing was too treacherous, and he ...... How could he do that?

The other ministers also reacted, and after they reacted, they didn't need Cui Shaoqing to explain anything, and they wouldn't be hostile to Cui Shaoqing anymore.

Because from the situation just now, it is enough to explain everything, everyone sees the benefits, so they all have to plant cotton, so isn't everything already very clear, Cui Shaoqing has been very successful in promoting cotton planting.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin nodded: "Some officials in the DPRK want to plant cotton, and I support this, but I first said that after you buy these seeds, you are not allowed to continue to sell them, and you must plant these seeds next year. ”

Now cotton is very popular, and these officials can make a lot of money by raising a little price and selling the seeds, but in this way, it is not good for planting.

That's why Li Shimin added such a condition.

However, for those officials, they feel that Li Shimin's condition is useless, after all, the benefits obtained after cotton planting are much more profitable than selling cotton seeds, and they cannot be stupid enough to do the thing of losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds, and they will plant cotton next year.

After saying this, the court meeting ended.

After the other officials left, Li Shimin left Cui Shaoqing behind.

"Shaoqing, your method is very good, let everyone see that cotton can bring benefits, and they will naturally flock to plant it, but we don't have a lot of cotton seeds in Datang, and now in this situation, I'm afraid it can only be planted among those powerful people, but in this way, when will the people be able to wear cotton clothes?"

Because the first cotton was not very important before, there was very little cotton planted in Sinong Temple, and this kind of cotton was only about 100 catties.

Today I sold dozens of catties, and Sinong Temple left some of them, and then there were none.

In this way, it is somewhat difficult to promote it on a large scale.

Cui Shaoqing said: "The saint doesn't have to worry, within three or five years, cotton can be planted all over Datang." ”

"Can it be promoted in three or five years?"

"Yes, now those businessmen are afraid that they have also seen the benefits of cotton, they will soon rush to the Western Regions countries, purchase cotton seeds, if they are fast, should not delay the planting of cotton next year, when the time comes, I Datang planting tens of thousands of acres of cotton is no problem, next year tens of thousands of acres, the year after will be more, soon, Datang all over the planting of cotton, this cotton will become as common as wheat, every household wears cotton clothes, it should not be a difficult thing."

In the past few years, those ordinary people must not have been able to wear cotton clothes, but in the future, as long as they are willing to work hard, there will definitely be hope.

After listening to Cui Shaoqing's analysis, Li Shimin felt that what Cui Shaoqing said was very reasonable, this kind of thing is definitely not achieved overnight, as long as you take your time, it will always get better.

After understanding this, Li Shimin was much relieved.

"What Shaoqing said is reasonable, since this is the case, then do as you say, I believe you, this matter is fully handed over to you."

"Thank you for your trust, and the minister will not let the saint down."

After the two of them finished saying this, Cui Shaoqing finally left.

At this time, the Si Nong Temple, those who had ordered cotton seeds, were already rushing over.

In order to be able to buy it, they went to the court and did not go home for dinner, so they went to Sinong Temple first.

After seeing this situation, the people here in Sinong Temple admired their Shaoqing a little, they felt that their Shaoqing was really powerful, not only made money, but also promoted the cultivation of cotton.

Who has such a ability?

For Cui Shaoqing, Zhu Yuan admired it more and more.
