Chapter 132 Cotton

A song full of Jianghong gave Li Cunhuan an effect he didn't expect, Zhang Chengye politely refused Li Keyong's invitation, and he became Lu Long's supervisor instead.

This made Li Cunhuan very happy, he has not had many internal affairs talents under his hands, the eldest grandson Chengliang is considered half, and the immature Feng Dao is also considered half, and now that Zhang Chengye is here under Li Cunhuan, Li Cunhuan can breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Cunhuan did not stay in Chang'an City for long, on the first day of September, he ordered the army to open and set off in the direction of Hezhong, and Li Keyong also began to evacuate Chang'an on the third day, unlike Li Cunhuan, Li Keyong also took 200,000 people in Chang'an City with him. However, Guanzhong did not retreat from the Hedong Lulong coalition army, so it was deserted.

Zhu Wen finally appeared, and in August he hurriedly formed an alliance with Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin's brothers, leaving the general Ge Congzhou to stay in Xuzhou, and the general Zhu Zhen to guard Caozhou and protect the flank of Bianzhou.

Zhu Wen took the general Liu Zhijun as the striker, led the 8,000 righteous victorious army as the vanguard, opened the road in the mountains, and built bridges in the water. And Zhu Wen himself personally led 50,000 Bian's soldiers to set off towards Tongguan.

However, Wang Jian, who was in Xichuan, was not to be outdone, he didn't know where to find a young man, named Li Chengwu, saying that he was the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, who was established as the emperor and changed his name to Wude.

The world was accompanied by the poisoning of Tang Zhaozong Li Ye, and there was a feeling of fusion of wind and clouds, first Wang Xingyu and Li Maozhen abolished the emperor, and then Wang Xingyu supported Emperor Kangning, Li Maozhen supported Emperor Xuanwu, and then Li Keyong supported Emperor Qianning. However, although there are many of these emperors, they all have orthodox royal blood without exception, such as the emperors supported by Wang Xingyu and Li Maozhen, who are the sons of Tang Yizong, and the younger brothers or elder brothers of Tang Xizong and Tang Zhaozong. And Li Keyong supported the crown prince Li Yu as Emperor Qianning.

Up to now, Wang Jian has even erected a royal figure who doesn't know where he came from, doesn't know whether it's true or not, and said that he is a descendant of Li Jiancheng, making it clear that he does not accept the control of Li Shimin's lineage. There is a vague tendency to split the Tang royal family.

The wind and rain are about to come over the entire land of Middle-earth, and the gloomy atmosphere suppresses the hearts of the people of the world. It seems that in the next moment, several people from the Tang royal family will emerge from the Central Plains to become emperors.

At the same time, Wang Xingyu and Li Maozhen did not passively wait for Zhu Wen's advance, they sent envoys everywhere, hoping to gain the recognition of various feudal towns, at least they could pull Zhu Wen's hind legs. However, it is a pity that the attitude of the feudal towns in various places is very warm, and they express their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, but they do not say that they are loyal to the emperor.

………………

Li Cunhuan's return speed this time was not slower than when he marched into Guanzhong, Li Cunhuan spent half a month to cross Hedong, and then through Chengde Jiedu to make Wang Rong's territory Zhenzhou back to Youzhou.

It was already October when I entered Lulong, and it was already snowing on the land of Lulong, and the white and flawless white snow seemed to pave a layer of beautiful and holy white jade between heaven and earth.

Yu Xianyun sat in the carriage, his hands on the windowsill, his chin resting on his hands, and his eyes looked at the snow scene outside with a little confusion.

"For Lu Long! How does it feel? Does it fit into the environment? Li Cunhuan gently drove the horse to the carriage and asked softly to Yu Xianyun.

For Yu Xianyun, I don't know why, Li Cunhuan always gave birth to a kind of purity that she shouldn't exist in Hongchen, and always made Li Cunhuan feel like she was a flower that could only be watched from a distance and could not be blasphemed.

Yu Xianyun showed a slightly shy smile to Li Cunhuan, "It's good here!" It's just too cold! ”

Speaking of cold, Li Cunhuan suddenly remembered cotton, he remembered that he had asked once, but because he didn't dig deeper, the matter was finally closed. Li Cunhuan secretly made up his mind in his heart this time that he would find cotton no matter what.

"When I ask someone to bring cotton, you won't have to be so cold!" Li Cunhuan comforted gently.

"Cotton?" Yu Xianyun looked at Li Cunhuan with a pair of pretty eyes with some surprise, and asked rhetorically with her lips slightly open.

(Speaking of which, the word 'cotton' has not yet appeared in this era, and cotton is called cotton, but in order to be less troublesome, cotton is called cotton here.) ）

"Hmm!" Li Cunhuan nodded slightly.

Yu Xianyun turned his head, not knowing what to look for in the carriage, and after a while, in Li Cunhuan's somewhat curious gaze, Yu Xianyun stretched out a white and flawless jade arm from the carriage window. However, Li Cunhuan's gaze was not on Yu Xianyun's seductive jade arm, but on a satin silk scarf in her hand.

Li Cunhuan stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it carefully, he had already determined that this was a cloth made of cotton. However, this cloth is made from cotton into cotton threads, which are then artificially spun. Instead of a winter coat that he had the impression of stuffing cotton directly into the cloth.

"These are called white cloth, which is a treasure in the cloth, and the price is higher than that of the high-grade Shu brocade, which requires two thousand Wen a horse. In Chang'an, many dignitaries like to buy, and it is said that it is made of silk thread imported from Anxi. There are also white stacked cloth in Nanzhao, but because it is made by the Nanban people, they like to embroider on the white stacked cloth, which is full of the style of the Nanban people, and is also called white stacked cloth. Yu Xianyun looked at Li Cunhuan, who was fascinated by his white cloth, with some curiosity, and introduced it softly.

Li Cunhuan couldn't imagine that the cotton he was looking for had already been made, but the price was comparable to that of high-grade Shu brocade, and Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be surprised.

After understanding, Li Cunhuan had to feel smacked for the price of the white stacked cloth, and the price of a white stacked cloth in Chang'an City actually cost two thousand wen, that is, two yuan. Buying a horse in Youzhou is only a matter of six or seven yuan, and a tie Tang knife is only a matter of two yuan. The so-called iron Tang knife is a good Tang knife made of steel, and the blade is made of two kinds of steel, the inner side is made of soft steel, and the outer side is made of hard steel.

(This technique was invented during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.) ）

Li Cunhuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have cotton seeds in your hands?" ”

Yu Xianyun glanced at Li Cunhuan with some curiosity, and said: "There are many rich people in Guanzhong who have planted some cotton as ornamental objects, I don't know if there is one in Youzhou, you can go to the rich people's homes to find it, if not, you can buy it in these places in Anxi!" ”
