Full of doubts, he took a quilt from Yahuan's hand, the touch was light, the feeling was soft, and after touching it for a while, the hand was gradually hot. How is this possible? Su Bingren's old eyes widened. He looked up at Liu Wuchen in disbelief.

White stacks, he had also seen, were similar to cocoons. They are all white silky sticky things, the difference is that although they are made of mulberry silkworms, they are easy to record after boiling, while white stacks are made of vegetation, and the silk is mixed. And there are grains, it is difficult to weave, Gaochang people mostly use it to fill the clothes and quilts, although it can be warm. But he is uncomfortable, and most of them are not taken by the rich.

But now, the thing he saw and touched in front of him was fluffy and soft, light in texture, and if it was a large package, it was less than ten catties in weight, and there was no hard object in it. The comfort was abnormal, and there was a world of difference from the white stacks in his impression, so the old man Su also became a little uncertain for a while.

It was they who were willing to spend manpower to record the hard grains in the white stacks, and the remaining cotton wool was never as fluffy and soft as it is now, how did they do it? Looking at the indifferent smile on Liu Wuchen's face, the old man's eyes were even more confused.

"Boss Su is right, what is filled in here is that Bai Diezi understands the confusion and incomprehension in the old man's heart, Liu Wuchen nodded tepidly, and did not directly explain to Su Bingren, but smiled and asked softly: "What does Boss Su think of this quilt?" ”

It can't be said to be ingenious, but it can indeed be called a strange thing and returned the quilt in his hand to the maid ring next to him, Su Bingren glanced at the quilt handed out by the net again, stroked his beard and said lightly: "However, if your mansion can produce it in large quantities, this strange word will become indifferent."

Strange, because of the rare and rare, the Liu family received so many white stacks in Gaochang, if they were all made into such fur quilts and sold, it would not be surprising that everyone would see a lot.

When he said this, the old man's two eyes were fixed on Liu Wuchen's face, wanting to extract some useful words from the mouth of Liu Wuchen, the housekeeper of Liu Mansion.

"Hehe, Master Su's discernment." For this kind of thing that can't be hidden, Liu Wuchen no longer shy away from it, and directly smiled warmly, saying: "In a month, this kind of quilt, along with some other things in our Liufu, will be all over the streets and alleys of my counties and counties in the Tang Dynasty

Glancing at Su Bingren, Liu Wuchen asked again: "I don't know what Mr. Su has to say about the sales prospects of this kind of quilt?" ”

"Sales prospects?" For this new word that popped out of Liu Wuchen's mouth, the old man's expression was slightly stunned, but it was literal. He also understood a little, and he didn't think about it, Su Bingren said loudly: "If that's the case, then this year: nine days." Those households in Datang who can't afford to burn coal or charcoal are blessed

Raising his head and glancing at Liu Wuchen, Su Bingren continued: "Liu Xiaozi has done a great good deed for the people of the Tang Dynasty again.

Although I don't know how much the price of this quilt is, according to the market price of white stacks, coupled with Liu Yiyi's kind and good temperament, Su Bingren knows that the price of this quilt is no matter how high it is, it can't be high.

Besides, the price of Liufu is ten or twenty times higher than that of Bai Diezi, and after careful calculation, it is only a matter of more than ten or twenty yuan, and ordinary people can afford it.

Regarding Su Bingren's praise of their host, although Liu Wuchen also agreed with it in his heart, but when it came to love and etiquette, Liu Wuchen sat aside and did not reply, and with a smile, he uncovered this sentence.

"Grandpa is right". Carefully touching the Xuansoft quilt held in Liufu Yahuan's hand, Su Chenxi softly took over his grandfather's words: "Using a low-cost, equivalent to a waste white stack, to make such a quilt and jacket that is not inferior to a fox fur, Mr. Liu has indeed made a great merit today." ”

"In addition to letting the people of the world have better things to keep out the cold for the winter, Mr. Liu has also opened up another way for the farmers in the world to make a living enough to support their families" Su Chenxi's eyes looked around on the faces of his grandfather and Liu Wuchen, and said softly: "If the little woman's guess is right, with the increasing prosperity of the quilt and cotton clothing business in Liufu." The white stacks are bound to rise, just like the "Sanyuan tea, after the birth, the tea on the market in my Datang market, next year in my Datang thousands of farmers, there will be many farmers in Datang who will cultivate the white stacks." ”

"Well, Xi'er is reasonable" The baby granddaughter's words made Old Man Su's eyes light up, and he said with a little joy on his face: "If this is really the case, it is said that Liu Boy has great merit." But it's not an exaggeration at all

As the secretary of agriculture of the Tang Dynasty, Su Bingren knows better than anyone how difficult and important it is to attract a new agricultural product to the people of the Tang Dynasty. The yield of a certain crop has swelled dramatically, and the price of agricultural products has begun to decrease year by year. Some have even reached a point where farmers cannot make ends meet every season of the year.

If nothing else, let's take the most important and indispensable food for daily use. During the Zhenguan period, the price of millet per stone was consistent, but now, after less than ten years, the price of millet per stone has fallen to the text of Xiaodaisi.

Although from the side, this is a good thing that indicates that my Datang country is rich and the people are strong, and the surplus food is sufficient. But in agriculture, from the eyes of Su Bingren, the secretary of agriculture, this is a big blow to the farmers who work hard in the farmland every day.

Output is not increasing, but the price is decreasing day by day, just imagine, if in a few years, farmers work hard for a year, but can not take care of the food and clothing of a few families, then who will be willing to put their minds on the field?

Agriculture is the foundation of the country, the people are the foundation of agriculture, if this base, this is all out of the situation, the people strike farming, farmers strike production, then the Tang Dynasty is in danger!

Therefore, in addition to finding ways to increase the yield per mu of cultivated land, the current Datang agriculture also needs one or several new crops to adjust and stimulate it, especially agricultural products such as self-stacks, which obviously have huge economic uses, and the effect will be better.

The old man rubbed his two withered hands excitedly. In my heart, I was more and more happy in the face of Liu Yiyi, a young descendant, and I didn't think about it. On this trip to Sanyuan, this kid actually gave himself such a big surprise, in addition to the farming methods that can greatly increase the yield of agricultural products, he actually encountered the white stack, an alien crop that seemed useless before.

This kid is a lucky star.

It solves the problem that has fallen in his heart for several years, and at the same time finds a new way of wealth for the people of my Tang Dynasty, Su Bingren's two old eyes are shining, and now it seems that he was determined to award the "Mo Nong Order" to the hands of Liu Xiaozi, which is really a wise move, this kid did not disappoint. In the future, if those old things provoke themselves for this, they will have something to say.

"Miss Su is really your quality, dustless admiration" nodded and smiled at Su Chenxi. Liu Wuchen said softly: "In fact, our owner has already had this plan, and when dealing with Bai Diezi, he was instructed by the young master of our family. After the year, our Liufu will sell cotton for free or at a low price in the various counties and counties suitable for planting white stacks in Datang, so that those who want to plant can have a kind of arable and planted. ”

Although there are some words that their young master has not yet clearly ordered, Liu Wuchen, who is the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, can still guess some from the words of the young master of their family, so when dealing with the questions of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Su family, Liu Wuchen is at ease, and there will be no situation where they don't know anything, which will damage their Liu Mansion and the face of their young master.

"That's wonderful! So wonderful! Old man Su raised his hand and hit the table and smiled, Liu Fu's approach saved him a lot of trouble. Picking up the tea bowl on the table, he drank it happily. The old man said bluntly: "For this reason, when the old man returns to Chang'an City tomorrow, he will definitely find a Liu boy to have a drink!" ”

Also, this matter must be known to the emperor, Bai Diezi was changed by Liu Xiaozi, and it would be more convenient and appropriate for the court to come forward with the sale of loose seeds.

"Grandpa, your body is improving now. You can't touch the contents of that cup anymore. Hearing that his grandfather was shouting again and wanting to drink, Su Chenxi, the little housekeeper, immediately stood up and spoke out to dissuade him.

"Huh?" Turning his head to look at his precious granddaughter, the little old man's heart softened when he saw the worry and warning on his little granddaughter's face. Fang Cai's ** who wanted to drink in his heart didn't help but restrain himself: "Okay, grandpa, grandpa can save it, before Xi'er's permission, grandpa will definitely not drink a drip, how about it?" ”

"That's pretty much it!" After speaking, he gave Su Bingren a sweet smile, and Su Chenxi moved his eyes to the new quilt beside him, and no longer paid attention to the gossip between his grandfather and Liu Wuchen's housekeeper.

"Queen Mother, it's so warm on this couch today, you can see that my brother's body is sweating!" At night, in the Lizheng Palace, on the bed of the eldest grandson queen. The thug brother is so sharp, it's not so warm. In the future, the brother will sleep with his mother every day, and it will be so warm every day.

The little rabbit prefers the soft and warm bed of the queen mother tonight than the warmth of the suffocating room made of coal, and the little one has not been as warm as it is today for a long time since the winter weather turned cold.

"Oh? Is it? Hehe, the queen mother also feels this way" Seeing the cheerful appearance of the baby daughter, the eldest grandson queen also had a smile on her face. Stretched out his hand and asked the palace maid waiting next to him for a clean towel, and wiped the sweat on his body for the little brother, the eldest grandson queen said warmly: "Sleeping in this kind of Xinyu is even warmer and more comfortable than when the charcoal fire is burned, but it's a pity that your father didn't come over tonight, otherwise he would definitely like this warm feeling like spring and autumn." ”

Remove the sweat-stained clothes from the little brother's body. Handed it to the palace maid in front of the couch to clean up, the eldest grandson queen whispered to herself: "Sister Qi is still the most distressed by this sister in the palace, such a good quilt." Overnight, I sent it to the main palace. I just don't know where Mr. Liu got this strange quilt, if it is convenient, I will ask him for some tomorrow, and give a bed to the concubines and princes in the palace, so that they will not be yelling at the palace all day long about the cold winter. ”

"I want it too! I want it too! The queen mother, the brother also wants this soft quilt! "Hearing the queen mother mention the little brother in her ear, she hurriedly turned the knife, and returned to the eldest grandson queen to be coquettish and noisy again." Okay, okay, not only you, but also your sister Yuzhang, sister Huanzhu, brother prince, brother childish, you all have it! Empress Changsun nodded gently, thinking of the words that Luo Xiang said when he sent the quilt, this quilt seems to be a novelty, but it is not a rare thing, Mr. Liu's mansion should still have a lot.

The emperor's legs have always been suffering from bitter cold, although they have been treated by the imperial doctor, they have been much better, but they can't withstand the cold of this winter. Thinking about it, the emperor must be able to sleep more peacefully.

There are also brothers, young slaves and Yu Yu, they all go to bed alone at night, although there is a charcoal fire in the house to keep warm, but in the couch room, it is difficult to gather warm air, if they can also cover this kind of residual quilt,,

"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! Just as Empress Changsun was secretly thinking about it in her heart, the little brother turned over and dragged Empress Changsun's arm, and said in a childish voice: "Can you let Mr. Liu come back to be our Mr. Enlightenment, I haven't seen Mr. Liu for so long, and my brother misses him a little." ”

Listening to the queen mother's mouth, Mr. Liu's little brother couldn't help but recall the situation when their husband was in the study in this palace a month ago, telling stories and playing games for them, and couldn't help but beg the queen mother out loud.

"The current gentleman is not as interesting as Mr. Apu's teaching, and the brother doesn't like him. pouting his little mouth, "Brother No" hugged the arm of the queen mother and shook it gently: "Queen mother, you still let Mr. Liu come back to teach us okay, okay?" ”

"Brother is obedient, don't slander Mr. behind your back!" Empress Eldest Sun reprimanded the little brother with some seriousness, and saw the little girl's obediently closed mouth, but she still timidly looked up at herself with a hint of pleading. couldn't help but laugh softly again, stretched out his hand to take the little brother in his arms, pulled the quilt on his body up, curled up, and then said: "Mr. Liu's current identity is not as good as before, and it is not suitable to stay in the palace to teach you knowledge, in the future, you don't have to mention this kind of thing again, otherwise if your father hears it, I'm afraid I will punish you again, you know?"

"Oh, the brother knows, the brother will never mention it again in the future, he nodded in disappointment, and the little brother obediently buried his head in the arms of the queen mother.

"What do you say? Liu Yiyi went to see that Gaochang envoy today? In the imperial study, after hearing Li Ran's report, Li Shimin, who was reviewing the folds, couldn't help but be stunned, couldn't help but look up at Li Ran, frowned and asked softly, this is good, Liu Yiyi didn't go to the doctor to see a doctor, and deal with business matters in the family, how could he think of going to see the Gaochang envoy?

"Back to the emperor, that's true." Li Ran bowed and replied.

"Do you know what he did?" Lightly put the brush in his hand on the inkstone, Li Shimin asked: "How is Xiao Ran so bad, how can he casually let an outsider enter the post house?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Mr. Liu had saved the life of Song Guogong some time ago, Xiao Ran did this, and he just wanted to return his affection to him. Besides, the Gaochang envoy "The thug is not too clear."

"Still". Seeing that the emperor's old man's face was slightly gloomy, Li Ran hurriedly continued: "Mr. Liu's purpose of going to meet the envoys of Gaochang, but the villain can guess some, but he doesn't know

"Say!" After taking a deep look at Li Ran below, Li Shimin picked up the tea drink on the case, and spit out a word in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gently wiping the cold sweat on his head, Li Ran bent over and replied carefully: "The Liu Mansion is in charge of collecting Bai Diezi in Gaochang. Some time ago, he was detained in Gaochang for no reason, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin's expression was obviously stunned again: "What's the matter, the people from Liufu were arrested in Gaochang?" ”

"Back to the emperor, yes." Li Ran replied sharply: "It is said that it was an order personally issued by Hou Jun Jihou,"

"Oh, that's no wonder" Nodding lightly, Li Shimin didn't say anything more, the gap between Hou Junji and Liu Yiyi, he knew in his heart that it had almost reached the point of not dying. At that time, if it wasn't for the last resort, Li Shimin was really reluctant to wait for Junji, a general who had followed him for decades.

At the same time, it was also the momentary soft-heartedness of this Ming Jun at that time that allowed Hou Junji to survive and escape to the Gaochang region, otherwise, there would be no more prisoners of the Liufu steward today.

"It's just" put down the tea bowl in his hand. Li Shimin tapped his fingers on the table, thinking in his heart: "This Gaochang Teshi who came to pay tribute this time." It is clear that he is an abandoned son who was left behind by Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, according to Liu Yiyi's eyes and thoughts, it is impossible not to see it, if this is the case, then why does he want to visit a useless person again? ”

"Could it be that the young man named Chu Yi, what else is so special? . Frowning, Li Shimin's thoughts couldn't help but shift to Chu Yi, the substitute ghost sent by King Gaochang.
