After sending Xu Jingchun away, Lu Chengqi suddenly remembered something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Li Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Info, only cared about giving the drawings, but forgot the one thing Lu Chengqi cared about the most - cotton.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's not yet July, and the night feels a little cool. If it continues like this, I am afraid that in winter, the northernmost part of Dashun, there will be no big problem with dripping water into ice.

With such a cold weather, even in the future generations, some people will freeze to death, let alone this time and space? The sooner the matter of cotton is put on the agenda, the more beneficial it will be to the Han people. The Han people are not like those nomadic peoples, who can hunt animals for fur to protect them from the cold. In winter, the combat effectiveness of the thinly clothed Han army will drop sharply. Perhaps the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was also related to the fact that the Jin Kingdom attacked in winter.

Originally, I thought that there was no cotton, and replacing it with kapok could also solve the urgent need. Unexpectedly, Li Jie gave him a big surprise. For cotton, Lu Chengqi is looking forward to it, this is related to the life and death of the people of Dashun, not a joke.

With a vision beyond this time and space for thousands of years, Lu Chengqi will not superficially believe that the premise of being a good emperor is to be reckless, frantically expand the territory and plunder the population. That's what only a Mongolian without political vision would do, scavenging for gold and silver treasures, beautiful women, and enjoying it. Although an unprecedented empire was built, it was short-lived.

The Mongols caused a lot of misfortunes, not only making the Central Plains miserable, but also burying the best chance for the Han family to rise. Although this is the death of the emperor of the Song Dynasty himself, he can't complain about others, but he lost hundreds of millions of Han people, so it shouldn't be.

Therefore, Comrade Zhu Chongba, who was able to drive the Mongols out of the Central Plains and never compromise with anyone in his life, Lu Chengqi admired him very much. No matter how much fault he is, he is a well-deserved national hero.

And to be a good emperor, the most important thing is to let your people have food to eat, clothes to wear, and not to die of cold. I can't even do this, and I still talk about what to do through the ages!

It is precisely because of this that cotton is valued very much by Lu Chengqi, even more than firearms and Chidao. "Cangqiao knows etiquette and knows etiquette when he has enough food and clothing", he has no food to eat, no clothes to cover, and the people have not risen up to rebel? If you can eat enough and have clothes to wear, you can further read poetry and books and know etiquette. It can be said that food, clothing, shelter and transportation are necessary conditions for the people under his rule to know etiquette and affairs. In other words, economic development derives the progress of civilization, and the progress of civilization depends on economic development, and the two complement each other and are indispensable.

In fact, the Song Dynasty was on the right path, but it is a pity that the literati of the Song Dynasty were too jealous and suppressed by the warriors, which led to the destruction of the dynasty and the country. If a warrior has no status, how can he try his best to fight?

A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future. Lu Chengqi will not let the tragedy of the Song Dynasty in the official history repeat itself, so he naturally has to grasp the degree. Anything, in excess, will turn from a good thing to a bad thing. This is like a Taiji diagram, where the anode produces yin and the cathode turns yang. Any good system, if it goes too far, becomes a bad system. It's too much, that's what I'm talking about. These wisdoms, which have been passed down for thousands of years, always have a reason for their existence.

Lu Chengqi complained that Li Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, did not do things, but in fact, he was also wrong to blame Li Jie. He is an honest man, and he will not make conclusions easily without any substantive progress.

What the little emperor explained, how dare Li Jie not do it? It's just that it will take some time for this cotton to be transported from the south to Chang'an City. How to make clothes also takes time to research. Even the pedal spinning wheel proposed by Lu Chengqi, Li Jie had to think about it for a long time.

It's not that Li Jie doesn't do things seriously, on the contrary, he is too serious to be so cautious.

This kind of person, in any time and space, is very rare. They don't boast about it, and they don't promise anything lightly. But always remember what you have said, and once you have made a commitment, you will do your best to do your best.

Lu Chengqi didn't know the truth, and said that Li Jie had forgotten about it. I was still thinking about whether to call Li Jie and ask about cotton. But after thinking about it, he dismissed this idea. He didn't want his good impression of Li Jie to disappear, so let's just believe him.

His gaze touched the dragon case, and the secret decree sealed with fire paint lay there quietly. The content inside, if it is spread out, is estimated to cause a shock in the court.

Because Lu Chengqi's temperament is like this, he doesn't do anything, since he has sent troops to suppress the bandits, he will carry out the bandits to the end. The water bandits in Shandong, the pirates in Zhejiang, and the mountain bandits in the Yunnan-Guizhou region are all the objects of dictatorship! In the territory of Dashun, any unofficial form of armed force must be regarded as a bandit and must be completely eradicated!

It's so domineering, it's just so non-negotiable. Even if the reckless people are righteous, they are still a factor of instability. Since ancient times, Confucianism has used literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry has violated the ban with martial arts. Just imagine, next to your house lives a knight with a knife and gun that can kill people, will you be afraid? In the same way, even if these people "rob the rich and help the poor", it will also undermine social order and social stability. This kind of instability is something that no emperor would dare to deal with easily.

In fact, there is no right or wrong in the world, but if you stand on the wrong side, then there will be differences. Lu Chengqi wanted a stable dynasty to gather people's hearts and form a cohesive and centripetal force; And the so-called chivalrous people want to be free and happy. This is purely unrelated, how can we talk about going together?

In particular, the green forests where people gather to become thieves must be completely wiped out. No matter how much it costs, it will not hesitate. Lu Chengqi wants to develop business, there is such a group of green forest heroes who specialize in "robbing the rich and helping the poor", isn't this singing against Lu Chengqi, how can you bear it!

The reason why he didn't exterminate them before was because he didn't touch the emperor's bottom line and turned a blind eye to these people. But Lu Chengqi is a person who cares about his achievements very much, where can he tolerate others to go against him?

Mo Dao, these heroes of the green forest are very powerful, once the state apparatus is sacrificed, these people are simply an ant, vulnerable to attack.

What Lu Chengqi has to do now is to risk being scolded by the counselor, and send this secret decree to Lu Fatzi, so that he can quickly put down the bandits. When the raw rice is cooked and cooked, the doctors will only have to pass the addiction.

"Someone!"

As soon as Lu Chengqi's words fell, a small chamberlain walked into the vertical arch hall and bowed his head to obey his orders.

"Submit this secret decree to the forbidden army Pegasus for urgent reporting, send it to Taiyuan Mansion immediately, and hand it over to Commander Lu in person!" The unquestionable tone showed Lu Chengqi's determination. He didn't believe that those heroes in the green forest could stop the strictly trained forbidden army! (To be continued.) )
