"This cotton robe is really warm when worn on the body! Cheng Qian, tell me the truth, how many cotton clothes can you make with the silk stack in your hand? Li Er asked while taking off his cotton robe.

Their father and son are about the same size, but there is still a little gap, and this cotton robe is a little out of place on Li Er.

"Erchen scavenged more silk stacks in the capital into the East Palace, and he could only make a few cotton clothes, and I have asked the Internal Direct Bureau to order a cotton robe for my father."

"Except for the rest for the two children, the crown princess and Xiao Liangdi, there will be no superfluous."

"If it weren't for the fact that I could have more silk in my hand, I would have asked the Internal Straight Bureau to make a cotton dress for each of the young slaves and the beautiful ones." Li Chengqian said.

This is mainly because the Tang Dynasty people did not attach importance to cotton, and not everyone in Chang'an liked cotton, so the amount of cotton was naturally small.

After Li Er listened to Li Chengqian's words, he was very moved, Li Chengqian was able to think about his father and brother, isn't this what he Li Er has been looking forward to!

Between father and son, it can be filial piety to the father and the son! Between brothers, you can be brothers, friends and brothers! This is the greatest comfort to him as a father.

"Father! Silk stacking has this effect, why not promote planting in Datang, and when winter comes, the whole Datang can wear cotton clothes. Li Chengqian said.

"You have a good idea! But how is the growth of this silk stack? And how much does it cost? Do you know all this? Li Er asked.

Li Er is worried about whether the cost of cotton will be too high, and whether the growth cycle will be as long as that of the kapok tree.

These are all problems that Li Er is worried about, if the cost of cotton is too high and the growth cycle is long, it will not be possible to carry out large-scale cultivation in the entire Datang.

With Datang's current economic strength, it simply can't afford such a heavy cost.

"This matter has been figured out! Silk stack is an annual herbaceous plant with large yield and low cost, so you don't have to worry about the cost at all. Li Chengqian said.

Li Er's eyes lit up, if this is the case, it is not difficult to plant in the whole country, and he can issue an edict to the states and counties to plant silk.

With cotton clothes, even if it is cold in winter, as long as it is not dozens of degrees, with the physique of the soldiers, plus cotton clothes.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were able to overcome the difficulties of not being able to fight in winter, just imagine, when the enemy army shivered in the cold wind, the army of the Tang Dynasty was still alive and well.

What a shocking thing that is, when the time comes, the enemy army will be terrified and dare not confront the army of the Tang Dynasty.

"You don't have to worry about planting silk! I will issue an edict to let all the states and counties of Datang plant some silk stacks. Li Er said.

In terms of cotton, Li Er is even more concerned than Li Chengqian, who is the most imperialist leader and sometimes looks at things in the long term than Li Chengqian.

"Father, this silk stack should be used as an important material for the Tang Dynasty, and it must be firmly controlled in the hands of the imperial court, and the family will never be allowed to get involved." Li Chengqian recruited Li Erzhi.

In this way, the imperial court has a way to check and balance the family.

As for the craftsmanship of taking cotton, even if Li Chengqian doesn't say it, there will always be people who will think of a way, after all, there are many smart people in the world.

Li Chengqian believed that it would not be long before there would be cotton-playing groups among the people, and businessmen who saw business opportunities would take advantage of the opportunity to make profits.

If cotton can be firmly controlled in the hands of the imperial court, it can not only prevent merchants from making profits, but also prevent families from making profits.

For Li Chengqian, this is a means to enhance the strength of the imperial court and prevent the family from becoming bigger, such a favorable thing, Li Er cannot not agree.

"Leave that at that! I discuss your ideas with the ministers, you don't have to worry about anything! Li Er said.

The twists and turns in this, Li Er can see it more clearly than Li Chengqian, and it is even farther away!

In the end, whether the imperial court controls the cotton or not is not a matter of one person.

"Father, why is that?" Li Chengqian wondered.

He didn't understand what Li Er thought.

"Don't always put your mind on these, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and you are also someone else's husband and father!"

"If you have time, you still have to care more about the crown princess and their mother and son, and think about how much I and your mother loved you when your mother was still alive!" Li Er said.

"Sons remember the teachings of their father!" Li Chengqian said.

"It's not just about remembering! More action! How many times have you been to Xiao Liangdi's East Palace since she entered your East Palace? Don't snub people. Li Er didn't want to say anything more about cotton, so he had to divert the topic.

Now is the time for His Majesty Li Er to educate his son, and Li Chengqian has no choice but to listen!

His Majesty Li Er taught the crown prince for an hour, and then he let Li Chengqian leave.

His Majesty Li Er originally planned to keep him for dinner, and the relationship between father and son was enhanced, after just an hour of earnest teaching!

Where did the crown prince Li Chengqian dare to stay for dinner, who knows if his father will continue to have the opportunity to eat, and once again told him to say goodbye.

It's better to go to the top of the 36 plan, and Li Chengqian ran back to the East Palace as if he was fleeing.

As for those who participated in him, Li Chengqian didn't care about it at all, after Li Er knew the benefits of cotton, how could he let these people do nonsense.

The prince is worried about the country and the people! It's not a plaything.

Sure enough!

After Li Chengqian went back, it didn't take long for His Majesty Li Er to reprimand these officials, and it was not enough to scold these indiscriminately and bloody officials.

They were also fined a year's salary, which was used as one of the funds for planting cotton.

At the same time, His Majesty Li Er soon passed through the three provinces and directly issued an edict to the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty to plant cotton.

At the same time, His Majesty Li Er also called the eldest grandson Wuji and others to the Liangyi Hall to discuss whether cotton should be controlled by the imperial court.

But the discussion came and went, and in the end there was still no result.

These have nothing to do with Li Chengqian, this is about to celebrate the New Year in a blink of an eye, and Li Chengqian is busy arranging the East Palace to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

He, Li Chengqian, is very busy now, so he doesn't have the time to inquire about anything about this matter.

The East Palace was hung with a large red lantern, and a new peach charm was hung on the doorpost.

"Lang Jun! That's enough! Wang Quan led two chamberlains to push a cart of fireworks and firecrackers to Li Chengqian.

"Enough! Take care of it, and don't let it get into the slightest flame. Li Chengqian instructed repeatedly.

"Lang Jun rest assured! Slaves know how to do it! Wang Quan said, leading the waiter to push the cart down.

Li Chengqian saw that he was no longer needed here, so he turned around and went back to the study to write a congratulatory table, and when the New Year's Day court meeting, he wanted to present a New Year's Day greeting watch and gifts to Li Erjin.
