The next morning, in the Cool Breeze Pavilion of the Imperial Garden, the "Yuwen Wen Story Meeting" continued, Yu Wenwen, who didn't sleep much last night, and Yuwen Qiankeng, who also didn't sleep well, continued to roam in the anecdotes.

Yuwenwen came to Yecheng this time, and his main task was to chat with the Son of Heaven, but they basically had no intersection before, and it was impossible to reminisce about the past, and Yuwenwen couldn't play any performance art, so as not to bring the little emperor badly, so storytelling became the best choice.

Thanks to the explosion of knowledge in later generations, as well as the powerful weapon of the Internet, Yu Wenwen is familiar with all kinds of stories, many stories seem to be outdated in that era, but for people in this era, it is a strange story that never gets tired of hearing.

is the so-called accumulation of thick and thin, although he has a lot of stories in his stomach, but he keeps talking uncontrollably every day, and sooner or later he sits and eats empty, so in order to survive three months, Yuwenwen also takes into account the children's ability to bear and limits the number of daily stories.

At the court meeting that day, the little emperor somehow kept Yuwenwen to live in Yecheng to wait until the end of the New Year to release people, this matter was later verified, the Prime Minister's Mansion denied that he intended to embarrass Yuwenwen, so it was about the little emperor who made his own opinion, and the Prime Minister Chi Yu promised to find a suitable time to 'persuade' the little emperor to take care of the overall situation.

In view of this, Yuwen Wen did not raise this question in a hurry, he had to stay in Yecheng for at least a few months, so there was time for Yuwen to be wasted, first of all, to make the children happy, then it was easier to talk about this topic, so as not to make the other party think that he was colluding with outsiders to bully his own people.

Yuwen Qiankeng sat on the couch, with seasonal melons and fruits and snacks on the table in front of him, and Yuwenwen sat on the other side, under the gaze of the other party and the waiters, talking about "personal experience" in a colorful voice.

"Bazhou Sima Yangji, a native of Yizhou, Shandong, was poor at home when he was young, and made a living by helping others" Yuwen Wen talked eloquently, and sold his teammates without shame, but Yuwen Qiankeng immediately asked, and the question went straight to the point:

"Xiyang Gong, the name of Yizhou in Shandong, was placed after the Great Zhou destroyed Qi six years ago, this place was North Xuzhou during the Yuan and Wei dynasties, and it was also called so when Gao Qi, Yang Sima wanted to come to be no less than fifteen years old, why did he call himself a person from Yizhou?"

"In the summer of the second year of the elephant, Weichen met Yang Ji in Chang'an and met, when the hometown of Qi was already the land of my Great Zhou, so he called himself so." Yu Wenwen replied, the other party's questioning was not difficult for him.

Details determine success or failure, Yuwen Wen's level of storytelling has been practiced, so he will naturally pay attention to this kind of detail, plus he is on guard against "someone wants to harm him" on weekdays, and his brain keeps turning every day.

It's just that he is so suspicious, and he is also a little worried that he will use his brain too much, first lose his hair and become bald, and then suffer from Alzheimer's disease in advance.

"One afternoon, Yang Ji and his friends drank and got drunk in the pavilion in their courtyard, and in a trance they welcomed a messenger to the Ming Kingdom, which faces the sea in the east, surrounded by mountains in the south and southwest and west, the desert Gobi in the west, and the vast grassland in the north, which is somewhat similar to my Central Plains."

"The Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty guards the country, the country is the northeast corner of the border, the cold place outside the door is also called Liaodong, there is Jianzhou to do evil, from time to time Kou border raids harass the people and plunders livestock, Jianzhou Lord Huang Taiji, the hero of the world, his brother Dolgon is also a masterpiece, the two brothers are rare in the world"

"Jianzhou is a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty, Yang Ji entrusted the Son of Heaven with a heavy responsibility, served as the border city and county order, led the border people to resist the Jianzhou into the Kou, several times with fewer victories and more to repel the Jianzhou army, repeatedly made military exploits, Tengda more than ten years, the official to Liaodong strategy, and recruited as a horse, into the position of the national duke"

"When the drought in the world was protracted, the resentment of the people of the Ming Dynasty was boiling, the people rose up, the officials and troops were in a hurry to quell the rebellion everywhere, and the state of Jianzhou also resorted to countermeasures, colluding with traitorous ministers to falsely accuse Yang Ji of not being subordinate, and the Son of Heaven misheard the slander and dismissed him, plus the princess died, the glory was scattered, and she was sent back to her hometown"

"The Jianzhou country is making a comeback, and the displaced people are also sweeping the border, when the Ming Dynasty is in trouble at home and abroad, for the Jianzhou army to come to the capital, the Son of Heaven is besieged and ordered the world to be the king of soldiers and horses, Yang Jiwen quickly scattered all his family wealth, and organized more than 1,000 righteous troops to enter Beijing to help the war"

"King Qin's edict has been transmitted to the Quartet, but Yang Ji on the way to Beijing, along the way the state and county officials have shirked their own defense, seeing that the capital is about to fall, they will use moths to fight the fire, leading a lone army to attack the besieging enemy, the strength of the lonely halberd sinking in the sand, just about to be martyred, Yang Ji suddenly woke up"

He was shocked to find that he was still under the gazebo in his friend's courtyard, and the sun had not yet set at this time, as the so-called life is like a dream, just like Liaodong"

"Life is like a dream, just like Liaodong" Yu Wen Qian muttered to himself, the story Yu Wenwen said, there is no suspense, there are no ghosts, it is a story of a person's dream.

A wronged lonely minister, at the end of the dynasty, a moth to the fire, a life of wealth turned into falling flowers, it is really melancholy.

'A dream of Nan Ke that only existed in the Middle and Tang Dynasty has now come out as a Ming version. Yu Wenwen sighed in his heart, he worked hard to promote his friends, and people's first impressions were very important, so he wanted to leave a good impression on his friends in the heart of the Son of Heaven.

Relying on a dream to tell a story, that is, praising Yang Ji's heart to the "Ming Dynasty", creating the image of a lonely minister, and effectively avoiding the doubts of others, saying that he will do anything to praise others.

Seeing that the little emperor was a little melancholy, Yuwen Wen coughed dryly, drank a glass of cheese paddle to moisten his throat, and then continued to tell the story, he is not 'flirting with his sister' now, it is a little bad to make the other party unrelenting, as the so-called combination of rigidity and softness, and then add some fierce material.

"Don't drive Xu Shao in Bazhou, good at reading since childhood, when he didn't enter the office, he went out to visit friends one day, and when he returned, he was blocked by the wind and snow halfway, and stayed overnight in a dilapidated temple on the side of the mountain, called Lanruo Temple"

"In the middle of the night, suddenly a beautiful woman entered the temple, Ziyun went out with her family, was intercepted by thieves, and escaped in panic"

Xu Shao saw that he was pitiful, so he gave up his place and invited him to sit down on the fire to keep warm, but his entourage accidentally found that this woman had no shadow under the reflection of the bonfire."

Yuwen Qiankeng only felt a chill all over his body when he heard this, and the inner attendants standing beside him were trembling for no reason: a person without a shadow, fools know that things are not good!

Like Yuwen Qiankeng, they were both afraid and wanted to hear this story, and they couldn't help but move forward one by one, for fear of slipping away a wonderful sentence, and the eyes of the audience were all focused on Xiyang County Gong......

During the intermission, the dry-mouthed Yuwen Wen strolled in the imperial garden, and an inner servant followed him, and the "Great Zhou Edition" of the Chinese Ghost Story was on the set, which made Yuwen Qiankeng listen to it so intoxicated that he almost couldn't even take care of lunch.

Eat the small pastry in one bite, Yuwen Wen interestingly watched the strange flowers and plants, he was not very interested in this flowers and plants on weekdays, and he was not so leisurely and elegant, in Yuwenwen's view, the swords and guns were like a forest and iron riding like a tide, that was the most beautiful scenery.

Of course, women are also another, he is a normal man, and it is natural for him to like women.

"What is this?" Yu Wenwen suddenly stopped, looking at the budding flowers and plants in front of him, these flowers and plants looked a little 'familiar', especially the buds had cracked a little white.

"Yuwen envoy, this is a white stack, the Southern Dynasty is also known as Jibei, according to legend, its wadding can be spun and weaved, but it is mainly ornamental." A chamberlain flattered him.

'Sure enough, it's cotton! Yuwenwen was overjoyed in his heart, staring at the cotton flowers that were about to bloom in front of him, and the waiter was also quite excited when he saw this, and couldn't help boasting about the white strange flowers of the Western Regions, but Yuwenwen couldn't use him to introduce them.

Cotton, "grass, solid like a cocoon, cocoon silk like fine silk", not produced in the Central Plains, introduced into the Central Plains from India or Arabia, because of the different transmission paths, also have different names, introduced from the sea, first planted in Qiongzhou (Hainan) and Lingnan region, called "Jibei".

The cotton imported by land entered Guanshan through the Western Regions, and it was called "White Stack" according to the names of the countries in the Western Regions.

The time when cotton entered the Central Plains was about in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but a large number of people entered the interior, about the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, before the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains only had the word "cotton" next to the silk, and there was no word "cotton" next to the wood, and the word "cotton" began to appear from the "Book of Song".

Cotton wool can be spun and weaved, the Central Plains has long known, but the relevant textile technology has not been mastered, and the cost of woven cloth is much higher than that of linen, so the planting of cotton has not been promoted, but has been cultivated as an ornamental plant.

The cotton cloth paid tribute by the southern Fan country is called "Jibeibu", and the cotton cloth paid by the countries of the Western Regions is called "white stacked cloth", which is actually the same kind of thing, but there is a difference in cotton species.

People in this era only know the use of cotton for 'cloth', but they don't have the concept of cotton clothes at all, which is an extremely effective warm clothing, and it is also an important helper for farming in the Northeast, so Yu Wenwen has not had an idea.

Cotton has been planted in a small area as an ornamental plant in his mansion in Bazhou, and the seeds are naturally obtained from Chen Guo merchants, that is, Jibei in the Lingnan and Jiaozhi areas, and the white stacked seeds obtained from Chang'an merchants have just begun to be planted, and I don't know what will be planted.

Bazhou is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, with abundant rainfall, he doesn't know if cotton can be planted well, and now it is the exploration stage, so Yuwenwen's use of cotton is a long-term plan, after all, the land is not enough to grow food, where to plant cotton in idle land.

"I don't know where this white stack came from?" Yu Wenwen asked, and he thought about bringing some seeds of cotton here back to try planting.

The chamberlain said that this is the legacy of the imperial garden of the Qi Palace, and they were left in all directions after the destruction of the Qi Palace, and they could not start a family because of their physical disabilities, and then the imperial court built a palace to recall them again, but many old people in the palace have long been gone, so I don't know where this white stack is introduced.

"Could it be that Jun deliberately introduced this white stack?" The waiter asked, and Yuwenwen said that this thing had never been seen in Shannan, and if it was convenient, he would take some seeds back to cultivate, which would also open everyone's eyes.

"If you like it, if you want to be your majesty, you will naturally be able to get your wish, there are many white stacks of seeds in the palace treasury, and you can do as much as you want."

Yuwen Wen nodded when he heard this, there are benefits to visiting the imperial garden, which made him a little surprised, and because of this, the interest of visiting the garden also rose, and he thought about what good things he could find.

Since Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, he brought back many things that did not exist in the Central Plains, with the formation of the Silk Road, the merchants of the Western Regions also brought all kinds of exotic flowers and plants into the Central Plains.

"It's impossible, but if God is gracious, if the chili pepper appears here, it will be developed!!" (To be continued.) )
