Chapter 126: If you want to get rich, you can gather wool

Hey, that's a quick learner!

Li Zhi was helpless about this Yum formula, and said dejectedly: "The left and right are your reason, and you admit defeat." My Tang Army is mighty, really mighty. ”

Although it's a crooked reason, who told you not to say it first!

Xu Qilin was triumphant, put the wooden man in Gaochang City again, and said with a smile: "Occupy Gaochang, the raisins are ours!" As he spoke, he raised his palm, "Come, Your Royal Highness Princess, high-five to celebrate." ”

"Yay!" The son stretched out his little slap and slapped it with Xu Qilin hard, giggling happily.

Xu Qilin was happy, only to hear a dry cough, His Majesty Li Er appeared at the door of the hall and walked in slowly.

Cut, cough a fart, cough and cover everything that eavesdropping and voyeurism?

Xu Qilin secretly rolled his eyes, put Xiao Gongju down, and bowed to salute, "Weichen has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Erchen has seen his father." Li Zhi also saluted upright, only the little son jumped up and ran to his father, shouting: "Father, my son will tell you a joke, can you guess it?" ”

His Majesty Li Er had no ability to resist his beloved daughter at all, his bearded face immediately smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up his beloved daughter, and said, "What is a joke, it should be called a riddle, right?" ”

"It's called a joke, it's not the same as a riddle." After the little son explained seriously, he opened his mouth and said, "Father, listen to it, it's very funny." Say 200 yuan to buy a little pig, Zi'er Zi'er drink water......"

Giggled, the little son couldn't help but laugh first after saying a few words, and twisted into a ball in the arms of His Majesty Li Er.

Seeing his beloved daughter smiling so happily, His Majesty Li Er was also overjoyed, and walked to the couch and sat down while laughing, and put his beloved daughter on his lap.

The little son laughed for a long time before he could barely accept it, and then said, but he laughed again.

"Take your time, don't rush." His Majesty Li Er patted his beloved daughter's back and said with a smile: "Seeing my son laughing happily, I'm already very happy if I don't listen to that paragraph." ”

"Listen, listen." The little son hurriedly stabilized her mind, paused for a while, and then began to speak, this time she finally finished the joke, but in the end, "guess what", she couldn't help laughing a few times.

His Majesty Li Er felt that even if he let him guess, it must not be very simple, so he stroked his beard and thought about it, and said: "Is there any strange situation in that little pig, it's really hard to guess!" ”

The little boy giggled and said, "What's so hard to guess about this, the little pig threw it over the wall and died." ”

Ah-His Majesty Li Er was also stunned by this extremely simple and unexpected answer, what kind of play is this?

Spicy image, drinking water and eating beans with dubbing, it's completely useless! Just say buy a piglet, throw it from the wall and fall to death, isn't it over?

Take a look at Xu Qilin, His Majesty Li Er guessed accurately this time, it must be a strange thing made by this kid, what kind of joke is it, look at the little son.

"Funny, Father." The little son asked cutely with a smile on his face.

"It's funny, it's funny." His Majesty Li Er didn't even dare to say a word "no", and nodded again and again with a smile.

Xu Qilin felt that it was time for him to retire and let His Majesty Li Er, his son, and his daughter be happy.

But before he could figure out how to speak, His Majesty Li Er asked briefly, and then asked his son and daughter to wait in the main hall first, and turned his attention to him.

"Qi Lin, sit down!" His Majesty Li Er didn't ask anything about what he had thought about, he pressed his hand down and motioned for Xu Qilin to sit down, and said slowly: "Li Simo is not here, so you don't have to worry about him knowing too much." ”

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and waited for His Majesty Li Er to continue.

"This time, the Turkic people crossed the river to the north, and it was not as simple as making a screen and protecting the border for a long time." His Majesty Li Er said: "The Turks and Hu have settled in Zhuzhou, there are no more than 100,000, who are Xue Yantuo's opponents? ”

Of course, Li Simo can't beat Xue Yantuo, but he can still do it if he fights for time and provides early warning, right?

His Majesty Li Er did not continue to explain to Xu Qilin, but instead asked: "Let's talk about the big deal you want to report, how can you make Li Simo have a huge amount of money and make all the ministries obey and support." ”

Xu Qilin pondered for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and opened his mouth to report his thoughts truthfully.

"Wool?!" After hearing this, His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and asked uncertainly, "Is it really so useful?" ”

Eat mutton, His Majesty Li Er is very good at it, and he knows how to kill sheep, but he has never seen anyone who has to collect wool before killing sheep. I've seen people wear sheepskin jackets or something, but the taste is so bad that basically the Tang people don't look down on it.

Well, the wool blanket is good, but Persia has that craftsmanship, not to mention the small amount, and it is still expensive.

Besides, Xu Qilin wants wool, saying that he can use wool to spin and weave cloth, what kind of material can be made, warm and lightweight, and the quality is no less than that of fur. Even the blanket may be better than Persia.

Xu Qilin hurriedly said: "Weichen also wants to study the experiment, but he is very sure. If successful, the nomadic tribes, although they have more inputs, are only the most rudimentary supply of raw materials. Whether to buy them or not is a means of control. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and asked, "Then the wool from the Western Regions can also be spun and weaved?" ”

"Sheep should be fine, right?" Xu Qilin was not sure, so he said in general terms: "As long as the hair is long, basically, it can probably be used." ”

His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes, this is not nonsense! If the hair is short, how to pick it? Take the pliers and pull them out one by one?

"I know that you have a great grasp, otherwise you wouldn't show off in front of Ashina Wuzhong." His Majesty Li Er thought for a while and said, "In this way, you can get a small amount of wool test first." When I succeed, I will make up my mind. ”

After a pause, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "If the wool is really useful, it can indeed allow Li Simo to control the tribe by multiple means. But in the same way, it can also make the nomadic tribes look up to me and snort. ”

"Wechen understands."

His Majesty Li Er is focused on the overall situation, and even Li Simo is not absolutely at ease. The so-called nomadic tribes, of course, also include Li Simo.

"Li Simo is a smart person, although he has only listened to a few words, he will definitely ask you about it." His Majesty Li Er reminded.

"Wechen said that he was experimenting, and if it was successful, he would tell him." Xu Qilin understood and knew that this wool was a monopoly of the Da Yingku, but it would also be a means for the imperial court to restrain the nomadic tribes.

His Majesty Li Er also asked about the Western Regions just now, and it is estimated that wool is indispensable when conquering Gaochang, and it is also an entry to make up for military expenditures.

His Majesty Li Er nodded, as if he remembered something, glared at Xu Qilin, and said, "If you want a good horse, why don't you come to me and ask for it?" Running to compete with people in sumo wrestling, the decency of the court officials has been lost to you. ”
