The eldest grandson Chong took the cottonseeds prepared by his father and returned to Datang together, ending his three-day vacation in modern times.

"Fifth Brother Hua, you send the cottonseeds out first this time, and then send me out, otherwise I will be crushed underneath again. This time it's cottonseed, but it's not clothes, and it's going to kill people. Changsun Chong complained and said that although the clothes didn't kill him last time, they were not comfortable.

Hua Wu said: "Operation error! ”

"Just don't make a mistake this time." Changsun Chong reminded that he was very unhappy, and it felt really bad to be smashed.

Changsun Chong sat on the snakeskin bag containing cotton seeds, this time it was good, it didn't press him, Hua Wu made progress.

Dazhu, Huo Qiang heard a sound in the house, and hurriedly went in to see, oh my mother, the house was full of big pockets, and I didn't know what was in it, seeing Changsun Chong sitting on top of the big pocket, he breathed a sigh of relief, if the young master was smashed below like last time, it was estimated that he would be smashed flat.

"Young Master, what's in here?" Eldest Sun Chong asked curiously.

"Cottonseed, when I wait for next winter, I will give you ten catties of cotton to make a cotton jacket." The eldest grandson said generously, "Hurry up and move these things to the warehouse." ”

"Yes, young master!" Dazhu carried a large bag of cottonseeds and left, and Huo Qiang was not willing to be left behind.

It took half an hour to send all the cotton seeds to the warehouse, and the eldest grandson's family left only one Zhuangzi to grow rice and grain, and the rest was used to grow cotton.

Li Er heard that the eldest grandson Chong had brought cotton seeds, and asked: "Chong'er, I have used those captives to open up the wasteland in the barren places of Hebei, and now I have hundreds of hectares of land, some of which is used for rice, and some of which are used to grow cotton, okay?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, of course you can! Cotton prefers a slightly drier climate. Moreover, the cotton collected can be spun into cloth on the spot, or made into cotton jackets and cotton pants, which can be sent to the border and other places to keep the soldiers warm, killing two birds with one stone. "Changsun Chong has no opinion, Huaxia has three major cotton-producing areas, the Yangtze River Basin, the Yellow River Basin, and the other is Xinjiang.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. There are 20,000 prisoners of war there, and the manpower is basically enough, I hope that you can make the local people live a good life, and make the north another granary and cotton warehouse of the Tang Dynasty. Li Er touched his beard, and this cotton was understood by Changsun Chong. Let him do it! ”

"However, there is another place that is more suitable for growing cotton, and the Uighur Turks and other scattered places. We cannot allow it to develop freely. We have to meddle in the management. Taking the opportunity to instruct them in cotton planting, they took the opportunity to set up a state to manage local government affairs. When the cotton harvest comes, we can exchange grain for their cotton, so that they can still control those minorities. The eldest grandson Chong said in a deep voice, those ethnic minorities. is the grass on the wall, whoever is strong will be lowered, so take advantage of the fact that the relationship is still harmonious, and take the opportunity to control their economic lifeline. And then assimilate them, and when they are integrated into the Han culture, they will form a unified country dominated by the Han culture.

"Oh? Where cotton can also be grown? Li Er asked, the environment there is not good!

"The location of the Hui and other departments has a vast area, a suitable climate, complex and diverse landforms and soils, so not only the scenery is beautiful wild camels, but also the special resources are very abundant. Between the mountains and the oasis of the Gobi, there are countless "granaries", "meat depots", "oil basins" and "coal seas", which are a treasure land. There is long sunshine, abundant light and heat resources, and a large temperature difference between day and night, which is very suitable for planting cotton, and the quality of cotton is very good. The eldest grandson said yearningly, painting a beautiful picture for Li Er.

"Listening to you say that, it's not just a treasure land, it's a gold mine!" Li Er was excited, hurriedly walked to the enlarged map not far away, compared on the map from time to time, and made up his mind that it must be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, instead of the nomads who surrendered today and rebelled tomorrow.

Li Erzhi pointed on the map, looked at the Western Regions and other places, and said: "Okay, according to what you say now, start with the economy first, set up an administrative agency to manage local affairs, after a long time, it is not our Datang territory, it is also our Datang territory." ”

"That's right!" Changsun Chong said with a smile, "The Hexi Corridor also needs to be developed, and now we need the city population, a large number of people and officials." ”

"The population is not in a hurry, and as for the officials, they will soon have to take the spring test again, and then select some good talents and send them to various places below. By the way, you go to Hebei this time and take Chengqian with you! Li Er felt that what Changsun Chong said was feasible, thinking that last time his son was still young and did not go to the battlefield, but this time to promote cotton and rice, he hoped that his son could go out with him to see, know the hard work of farmers, and personally experience civilian life.

The eldest grandson Chong didn't know why, he was still talking about cotton, population, and officials just now, why did he get to the prince all of a sudden?

"Your Majesty, Hebei and other places are not as good as here in Chang'an, Chong'er is worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to stand it!" Changsun Chong said worriedly, let him go, Changsun Chong didn't think there was anything, but with the prince, he would have worries.

"What's wrong? Is my son not worthy to be with you? Li Er deliberately misunderstood.

"Of course not, after all, the prince is still young, so it's okay to wait for two years?" The eldest grandson wiped the cold sweat on his head.

"It's not small, it's almost twelve now, and when I was my age, I was already able to act independently. As the saying goes, it's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to defend the country, if the prince is a mediocre person, I hand over the country to him, it will hurt him! Li Er sighed and said, he doesn't want his son to suffer, but if he doesn't go out to see and take a walk, how can he observe the people's feelings and manage the entire Tang Dynasty in the future! Besides, the courtiers below are talented, and his son is only in the palace and has not gone out to practice, how can he control these talented people!

Seeing Li Er say this, the eldest grandson Chong had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Since Your Majesty said so, Chong'er will do his best to protect the prince!" ”

"And let him participate in your work, and train him well!" Li Er said softly, "If he is disobedient, you will take out my token and beat him hatefully!" ”

It sounds good, where does the eldest grandson Chong dare to beat Li Chengqian, if he really does it, even if he is not afraid of Li Er's retaliation, he is worried that Li Chengqian will become the emperor in the future, and he will give him small shoes to wear!

"Then the prince left the palace, what did he say to the outside world?" Eldest Sun Chong asked curiously.

"Hehe, it's very simple, it's about to be my father's birthday, and the prince took me to Luoyang White Horse Temple to pray for the emperor." The inside of the car was empty, and no one knew.

"Oh, I see!" Changsun Chong nodded, this is indeed a good way.

Thinking that he was about to leave Chang'an, he couldn't help but feel that Li Er was too good to make the most of his things and didn't let him be idle. But fortunately, the weather is still a little cold, and it will take more than half a month to leave.

"I'll tell your father there, as for your mother, you can persuade well, a manly man, and his career is the most important." Li Er patted Changsun Chong's shoulder to encourage him.

Dou always thought that his son would not go out again if he came back from the Turkic steppe, but he would be very angry when he had just lived at home for two months and was going on an expedition.

"What Your Majesty said is what I will say to my mother. By the way, Your Majesty, can I take my three older brothers this time and let them go out to see the world? Eldest Sun Chong pleaded.

The eldest grandson's father is busy with political affairs all day long, Dou is a woman's family, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are okay, but when it comes to outside things, it is not good.

Since the eldest grandson Chong has recognized this family, he has to manage this family well and teach his younger brothers well, so that he will have a headache in the future.

"Naturally, no problem, then you can bring Ke'er over too! This kid is smart, very well-behaved, and can help you! Li Er suddenly thought that he had a third son, who was over ten years old.

"Okay, no problem. Cultivate Li Ke in the direction of King Xian as soon as possible, and you can also help the prince in the future. Changsun Chong continued, "By the way, there are few people in Hebei and other places, but there are a lot of them!" ”

"You mean there are a lot of bandits?" Li Er asked rhetorically.

Changsun Chong nodded and said, "Yes, so Your Majesty, you can't just give me prisoners and not troops, and then it will be troublesome." ”

"Well, okay, I will give you 5,000 soldiers at that time, and if there are not enough people, you will go to the border to transfer people." Li Er readily agreed, without a good environment, there would naturally be no bumper harvest.

"Most of those bandits are actually helpless people, if they have land and food, who will do the business of tying their heads to the waist of their pants." The eldest grandson Chong sighed and said, "Recruit An first, and if you don't obey Zhao'an, you will fight again!" ”

"Okay, you can do it!" Li Er now has very few people in his hands, "By the way, your cotton seeds are a little less, see if I can ask your master to ask you more?" ”

"Okay, I'll go next time, the master said he would prepare it for me. Your Majesty, don't worry! Eldest Sun Chong nodded.

"That's good, then all the cottonseeds are left, you can go on the road lightly, and then the world will let your master send you to Hebei." Li Er shrewdly calculated, making full use of the value of Eldest Sun Chong.

Changsun Chong couldn't say anything more, so he could only respond.

Coming out of the palace, he happened to meet Xiao Rui, who was on duty in the Ministry of Rites in the next dynasty, and the eldest grandson Chong arched his hand and said, "Brother Xiao, look at your dark circles so big, your complexion is very bad!" Did something happen to your father? ”

Xiao Rui hurriedly shook his head and said, "My dad is fine, it's me who has something!" ”

"Are you sick?"

"It's okay if you're sick! I didn't understand what they were saying, so I've been busy learning their language for the past few days! Xiao Rui said distressedly, this is his visit to the Ministry of Rites to cooperate with the Honglu Temple to entertain the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom from afar. But my brother can't speak Japanese and can't understand what they say, can you not be in a hurry? ”

When Changsun Chong heard this, he thought that the current Tang Dynasty was equivalent to the United States in the twenty-first century, the low position of a superpower, why should he be embarrassed by a small language.

Since you have come to Datang, you have to speak Chinese, and you don't bother to listen to those messy bird languages. I don't know how to speak Chinese, so I'm sorry, I learned it first, and I didn't have time to listen to birds. (To be continued......)
