Xuanzang's westward journey was actually quite bumpy, from Chang'an to the Western Regions, fortunately did not die at the hands of the Turks at that time, but was trapped in Gaochang, and it is estimated that Xuanzang had arrived in Gaochang at this time.

Gaochang is a country where all the people believe in Buddhism, when a master like Xuanzang comes, how can he be willing to let go? Xuanzang had to stay and teach them the Fa, Xuanzang was originally passing by, of course he refused, so the king of Gaochang Ju Wentai put him under house arrest, in history, Xuanzang relied on a hunger strike to let Ju Wentai go, and promised to teach the Fa here for three years when he came back.

Of course, after three years of teaching, he naturally didn't fulfill his promise, because by the time he came back, Gaochang had already been destroyed by Hou Junji.

Well, Datang is so capricious, and a country will be destroyed if it is destroyed.

However, at this time, in order to promote Buddhism in Siyi, Li Shimin readily agreed to canonize Master Xuanzang as a national teacher, and sent some troops to escort him to Tianzhu, in fact, the Buddhism he went to learn was not important, and the cultural invasion of foreign races mostly relied on the Pure Land Sect, which was nothing more than setting up a memorial arch, and for Li Shimin, a holy decree was nothing more than writing two words.

As for Gao Changguo? Borrow a few of his dares to detain the national teacher of the Heavenly Khan?

The next thing is simple, Hongren has a meritorious contribution to cotton, and he has also been named a national teacher, but his status is under Xuanzang, after all, although the Pure Land Sect is used to invade, it is still a little unbearable to put it on his own land, Zen Buddhism is different, this thing is a law for the rich and noble, and it is the only one in Buddhism that can compete with the Pure Land Sect, to be honest, a thousand years later, the so-called eight sects of Buddhism are left with these two, and the other sects have not heard much except academic research.

Li Shimin and Qin Hao chatted for nearly an hour, and finally set a general tone for this major event, and finally chatted back to business: "Let's go, go and see your flowers." ”

The things of Buddhism and Taoism are naturally big things, but if they are compared with cotton, they are undoubtedly small things.

The saint went out of the palace, even if Li Shimin hunted all day long, he couldn't just lift his legs and leave, at least the hundred horses were to be brought, who knows if there would be two assassins or something like that, so just now Li Shimin chatted with Qin Hao for a long time, mainly by the way, waiting for the hundred horses to be ready, otherwise in front of the cotton, how could he still have the heart to talk about Buddhism?

So, the group set off in such a majestic way, Qin Hao's small temple was the first time to welcome such a big Buddha, and for a while, the people were busy, so they quickly sprinkled water and cleaned it.

Entering the door, Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Where is Xin'er?" Why don't you come out to greet me? ”

Qin Hao smiled bitterly: "It should be that she is not at home, she is much busier than the ministers." ”

After Qin Hao briefly explained two sentences, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning and said: "This girl, what kind of person has become of, how can anyone go out into the wild as soon as she gets married, is she bullying you with her identity as the county lord?" Wait for her to come back and see how I discipline her. ”

Qin Hao said again and again: "No, no, Xin'er likes it, to be honest, the minister just likes Xin'er's capable appearance, when they get home, the two of them talk about her side and have something to talk about, what is there on the minister's side to tell Xin'er that she can understand, the husband and wife live together, or have to have a common language, there are so many maids and subordinates here, why let her run the house?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Hao suspiciously, seeing that this didn't seem to be fake, thinking that with Qin Hao's ability and status, he would not be able to bully a mere county lord, so he said, "Hehe." ”

Hehe, what a fart! How do you feel that Li Shimin's eyes look at him as if he is looking at a neurotic, well, if you don't have the same knowledge as you, Qin Hao doesn't want to get entangled in this issue, and said: "Look at the flowers, look at the flowers, and look at the flowers in the sage." ”

Qin Hao's cotton is really raised according to flowers, and even hired several florists, he feels distressed when he drops a leaf on weekdays, these cotton are all used for planting next year, and not a single grain is missing.

Looking at the green cotton seedlings, like grass, Li Shimin smiled and asked, "It's surprising enough to plant, how many catties can this land produce?" ”

Qin Hao asked for all the cotton seeds from Shaolin Temple and planted no more, no less, just about one acre, and thought for a while: "Let's talk less about two or three hundred catties." ”

This is already Qin Hao's rhetoric after the discount, you must know that the yield of cotton per mu in later generations is around seven or eight hundred catties, but that is no longer known how many generations of improvement, besides, one catty and sixteen taels in the Tang Dynasty, one or two or forty grams, probably converted into a discount, two or three hundred catties is a little safer.

"How much? Two or three hundred pounds? ”

You must know that an acre of jute is only two hundred catties even in modern times, and it is enough to burn high incense if you convert the unit to fifty catties in Datang.

"Quick, go get the finished flower and show it to me."

After a while, Fluttershy personally held a lump of cotton and put it on the tray, and the first time she saw Tianyan, the little girl was nervous and her hands trembled, knowing that under normal circumstances, the only way to greet a distinguished guest is his wife, let alone the saint himself? Thanks to Li Xin being wild outside, otherwise she would not have had the share of going to the hall.

Li Shimin didn't notice so much, grabbed the lump of cotton on the tray and asked, "This is the finished product?" You say this thing can make clothes? ”

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Saint wait for a while", then turned his head and said to Li Shimin's bodyguard Li Junxian: "Brother Li, please lend me the bow." ”

Li Junxian was stunned: "Bow? What do you want to bow for, besides, my bow is too big, you definitely can't pull it, if you really need it, I'll borrow you a small one. ”

"It's okay, it's the same for big bows and small bows."

After that, Qin Hao directly took off the iron-tired bow that Li Junxian was carrying, the good guy was quite heavy, I am afraid that it would weigh twenty or thirty pounds.

Li Shimin was surprised: "What do you want a bow for?" ”

Qin Hao explained, "This lump of cotton has been picked for too long, and it has to be bulleted. ”

Qin Hao naturally doesn't know how to play cotton, but what's so difficult about this thing, blind chicken, anyway, now he is the only one in the world who plays cotton, and he can play this thing as much as he wants.

When the cotton finally loosened, I saw Qin Hao take out a thing, it was the spindle he made, most of the people born in the seventies had the experience of playing as a toy when they were young, and there was nothing difficult, so Qin Hao made it very easily, as for the spinning wheel, then he, a liberal arts man, could not do anything.

Everyone saw Qin Hao use a small stick to roll over and over, swaying back and forth clumsily, but there was indeed a cotton thread separated from the big lump and rolled the small hammer layer by layer.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, but he was really angry when he saw Qin Hao's clumsy appearance, and snatched the two things from Qin Hao's hands and said, "Get out of the way." ”

The use of the spindle is quite simple, Qin Hao's unskilled movements are no different from slow motion, Li Shimin will be able to watch it for a while, and then he will roll up little by little at a faster speed than Qin Hao, looking at the entangled threads, his eyes are squeezed into a slit, and there are faint tears falling.
