The founding county is on the fourth grade.

Qin Tian was knighted again.

This is a supreme honor for a person who is not from a good background.

However, for many people, it is natural for him to get the title of Earl of the Founding County, because of his merits, he is really worthy of this title.

Qin Tian accepted the things sent by the palace people, but the slaves and maids who were rewarded to him were only sent over in the afternoon of this day.

Two hundred slaves and maids, both old and young, are not handsome, they are either palace maids, or some family members who have committed crimes, or slaves.

Qin Tian took a look and saw that few of the two hundred or so people were beautiful, so he directly handed them over to Fu Bo to arrange.

Even though they were women, they had to work in the fields.

However, even if there were 200 more people because of Feng Bo, there were still not enough people for the things in the Qin family's fields, so Qin Tian asked Fu Bo to go to the slave market and buy some more slaves back.

At the same time, Qin Tian sent people to cut a lot of hemp stalks.

After many people cut the hemp stem, soak it in water, soak it for a period of time, and peel off the skin on the hemp stem, which can become hemp rope after some processing.

The hemp rope is very strong, and it can be said that it is some of the earliest rope things used by ancient people.

However, Qin Tian didn't ask for hemp stalks for those hemp ropes, after the hemp stalks were cut down, he didn't put them in water to soak, just let people take them to the sun and expose them to the ground.

When the hemp stalks were almost dry, he used some hemp rope to weave and tie up one hemp stalk after another, and they became things like mats.

Of course, these things can't really be used as mats, these are used to dry cotton.

These hemp stalks have gaps between each other, of course, the gaps are not very large, and it will be much faster to dry cotton.

At the beginning, Lu Huaniang didn't know what Qin Tian's use was for this.

However, when she saw that Qin Tian had planted a lot of wooden stakes in the open space in the backyard, she somewhat understood.

After the hemp stalk is braided, it can't just be put on the ground to dry the cotton, then the efficiency is not very high, you have to tie four sticks, and then the sticks are set up with thin sticks, and then the hemp stalk shed is on the line.

In this case, it is much easier to dry the cotton by ventilating the upper and lower sides, left and right.

Qin Tianming made a lot of such hemp mats, and then put the entire open space for drying cotton on this.

After putting it on, the next person picks the cotton from the ground and can directly put it on it to dry.

Although this thing is simple, after using it, it is much more efficient than drying cotton before.

In a season where the weather is unpredictable and the sunny days are becoming scarcer, it is important to dry the cotton in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, if the cotton is damp, it will be a great loss.

When Qin Tian was so busy in the mansion, Li Shimin came with people.

Li Shimin also planted a lot of cotton this year, and he naturally faced the problem of drying cotton.

But the people of Sinong Temple said that in previous years, they did not plant much, and they could dry it casually.

This year, they are not able to do so, this year they have planted a lot, all the vacant land is a little insufficient, how to dry the cotton as soon as possible, they don't know.

There was no way, Li Shimin could only come to Qin Tian, and in his opinion, Qin Tian must have a way.

He went directly to the open space of the Qin Mansion, and when he came, Qin Tian was directing people to spread cotton on those hemp mats.

As far as the eye could see, there were white flowers in the entire open space, and Li Shimin only glanced at it, and felt that this method was really good.

"Okay, you Qin Tian, you have such a good way to dry cotton, why don't you tell this king?"

Li Shimin has the intention of asking the teacher for sin, Qin Tian has a look of grievance, he has been busy with this for the past few days, so he has time to tell Li Shimin this.

"Lord Wang, I just finished my work, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Li Shimin snorted, walked over and looked at those hemp mats, and after reading them, he praised them again and again: "Wonderful, you can still make this kind of thing with hemp sticks, it's just right to dry cotton, you can make some for this king." ”

"Lord Wang, of course it's no problem to make some for you, but this salary?"

"You have been promoted to the founding county uncle, and the court has rewarded you a lot, are you embarrassed to ask this king for wages?"

"Lord Wang, these are two different things, you see that I don't have enough manpower, and it will be even more insufficient to find someone to make a hemp mat for you, and it is really a bit unreasonable not to pay for it."

Based on past experience, Qin Tian knew that Li Shimin didn't care much about money, and if he didn't pay his salary, it wouldn't be good to spread the word.

If he is as famous as him, he must give something.

"If you want to be paid, you can give your cotton skills to the king's people, and the king will give you 10,000 yuan."

After Li Shimin said this, Qin Tian's cheeks suddenly twitched, and he wondered, if it was just to dry cotton, how could Li Shimin come to his own house?

Even if Li Shimin doesn't have a good way like himself, as long as the place is large, it will not be a problem to dry the cotton.

It turned out that he fell in love with the technique of playing cotton.

Li Shimin is not a stupid person, he naturally knows that if he wants to make cotton into soft cotton clothes, he can't do it without the technology of playing cotton, otherwise no matter how much cotton he has, it will be useless.

In this way, if he doesn't get the technique of playing cotton now, when the cotton is backlogged, he still asks Qin Tian, it is Qin Tian's lion opening his mouth, but it is not good.

10,000 yuan is a lot, it's really a lot, but after Qin Tian heard it, he was a little hesitant.

"After the prince learns this technology, is he still ready to promote it throughout the country?"

If cotton is popularized throughout the country, Li Shimin will definitely promote the technology of playing cotton.

"Naturally, this king cares about the people of the world."

Qin Tian's heart's blood, if it was just Li Shimin's request, he would sell it for 10,000 yuan, but if he promoted it, how could he make money from this in the future?

If you only master this technology, this is definitely a profitable business.

"If the prince wants to promote, his subordinates will naturally not stop him, but can it be delayed for a year or two, and after the prince takes control, it is not too late to promote, don't forget, His Royal Highness the prince has also planted a lot of cotton this year."

These words reminded Li Shimin, Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian and said, "You kid is really in the eye of money, I really don't know what you are doing with so much money." ”

Qin Tiandao: "The prince is a person with great ambitions, and the whole world will be yours in the future, so naturally you don't have to care about money, your subordinates are different, your subordinates want to live well, but you can't do it without money." ”

"I've convinced you, someone will send you 10,000 yuan later, and I'll make it right away."
