The eldest grandson Chong accompanied his mother to buy a lot of maternity clothes and flat shoes, and bought a lot, as if he didn't want money, he looked good and bought them at home.

Back at home, Changsun Chong packed up the photos that had been printed out yesterday and prepared to return to the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the delicate appearance of Princess Changle in the photo, I couldn't help but be delighted, the gift to Princess Changle was settled. Fortunately, I bought a photo album today and put a photo in it, a thick one.

The eldest grandson's father came over to pick up the eldest grandson in person and said: "Son, my father has prepared a lot of cotton seeds for you, because there are too many, so they are placed in the warehouse in the suburbs, go, I will send you there." ”

Changsun Chong took his things and went to the warehouse with him, and went to the Tang Dynasty with dozens of tons of cotton seeds, hoping that this year's cotton can be harvested in large quantities, as long as it is planted, it will definitely be sold.

Huo Qiang and Da Zhu were still very loyal outside, and suddenly there was a plopping sound, and they hurriedly opened the door. Oh my mother, I can't fit in the house, and there are a lot of sacks in the yard, and there are hundreds of sacks.

Changsun Chong fell on top of the sack this time, and if he fell under the sack, his intestines could be smashed out. Next time, if you want to carry something heavier, don't come with it in order to save that little time and energy, it's best to divide it twice.

"Young Master, are you back?" Dazhu hurriedly helped Changsun Chong up, "Are you tired?" Hungry or not? ”

The eldest grandson waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and find a place to move these cotton seeds to the warehouse, so as not to get wet with dew." ”

"Yes, young master!" Da Zhu and Huo Qiang began to work, asking the guards outside to come and help.

It took an hour to move all these cotton seeds into the room, and everyone was tired and had a sore back. Although some people wondered where these cotton seeds came from, no one dared to ask.

"Big pillars. Go and arrange the car, and tomorrow all these cotton seeds will be transported away a part. The eldest grandson Chong instructed that these are all fine cotton, and he hoped that his efforts would lead to a bumper harvest in the autumn.

"Yes, young master!" The big column should be down.

Before dawn on the second day, Changsun Chong took more than half of the cotton seeds, and all the others were sent to a place further north, and after Cheng Chumo finished suppressing the bandits, he waited there for the cotton seeds to go to the ground.

The eldest grandson Chong came back with cottonseeds. There is no time for small talk, so let everyone start distributing and start breeding, if it is late, it may affect the sowing.

Princess Changle heard that the eldest grandson had rushed back. Hurriedly asked, "Cousin, did you bring me a gift?" ”

"Bring it!" Changsun Chong said with a smile. Dig out a photo album from your baggage. "It's all for you."

Princess Changle was surprised, opened it to take a look, and opened her mouth to stammer: "Oh my God, is this the photo we took in the Plum Garden?" ”

Eldest Sun Chong nodded: "Do you like it?" ”

"I like it, I like it very much, I'm so beautiful!" Princess Changle looked at the photo. While smiling.

Yiniang jumped over, Princess Changle didn't have time to put away the photo, and asked, "Princess, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

Princess Changle didn't know what to do. Before, Changsun Chong asked her to keep it a secret, but now she is seen by Yiniang.

"Ahh

"Don't call it, it's called a photo, it's the same as a portrait, it's better than a portrait, it's faster." Princess Changle explained that since she couldn't hide it, she wouldn't hide it.

Seeing that Princess Changle was fine, Yiniang looked at the photo again and said, "Princess, who got you here, it's exactly the same as you are now." Ah, isn't this dress worn to my house during the New Year? ”

Princess Changle said a little shyly: "This photo was taken by my cousin that day." ”

Yiniang looked at Princess Changle and Changsun Chong sadly: "The eldest brother is eccentric, and he gives the princess any good things, not even my sister." ”

Changle couldn't help it: "Yiniang, my cousin hasn't had time to take pictures of you, he said that he will definitely take pictures of you if he has the chance." ”

"Really? Eldest brother? Yiniang asked.

The eldest grandson nodded reluctantly and said, "Of course, when we are busy sowing, I will take pictures of you, just in time for the flowers to bloom and the scenery is just right." ”

"Then it's settled!" Yiniang thinks that even if she is entangled with the eldest brother and doesn't take pictures of her first, she can't mess around, let the eldest brother be distracted, and it will not be good if she misses the farming time.

Li Chengqian, Li Ke heard that the eldest grandson was rushing back, dressed like a mud monkey, ran in, and said: "Big cousin, you are finally back, our two brothers have each got a field, and the competition will see who grows the best cotton." ”

"Oh? You can compare this, but you really didn't come here to play this time, you have to make some achievements, but don't forget your homework, Your Majesty asked, I can tell the truth. The eldest grandson beat the two of them, saving the two of them from forgetting their business, and in the end, he was the unlucky.

Li Chengqian grabbed the warm water on the table, poured it into his mouth, worked outside for most of the day, was already thirsty, and said: "Even if you give us a sloppy look, then Elder Xiao will tell his father as it is, not to mention that there is still an Elder Li, where do we two dare to be lazy!" ”

"Hehe, we are all for the good of the two of you, read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, you should have learned good things along the way." Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"That's natural, I went to see the soldiers to recruit the people and educate them ideologically; I also saw the real life of the people and learned about the local customs; If the cotton promotion is successful this time, it will be a complete merit. Li Chengqian grabbed another biscuit on the side of the table and ate it.

"Then I'll be relieved." The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, and we'll go around the fields later." ”

After a while, Changsun Chong took Li Chengqian and Li Ke to the field, all the land had been turned over, and the farmers were leveling the cotton ridges. Wait for the cotton seeds in the cotton bowl to sprout and grow larger before transplanting them to the field, which can ensure the survival rate of cotton seedlings.

Cotton is a temperature-loving and light-loving crop. Therefore, cotton fields should choose flat land or sunny slopes with deep soil layer and medium fertility. The land here is relatively fertile and the sunshine is good.

"Big cousin, now that the country is safe and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, you see them smiling while working, full of hope for life, now they can be so happy with their hard work, and they will be even happier when the autumn harvest comes." Li Chengqian smiled and followed the eldest grandson Chong, this time he came out, he saw the displaced people, and now he saw that they were no longer full of sorrow, and he also felt proud.

"Yes, we only need three years, a large number of seeds are successfully planted, and the people can eat enough, that is the real peace and contentment, the country and the people." Changsun Chong said with emotion that although the people are few now, they consume a lot of grain every year, and only have more fields to reclaim wasteland.

"Cousin, you're right! By the way, cousin, the engineering team for the construction of Bagua City has all arrived, when will it start? Li Chengqian suddenly remembered this matter, although he heard many people talk about Bagua City, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, and he had long wanted to see if his eldest cousin would build another Bagua City here.

"Oh, so soon, I thought it would be a while. Let's go, let's go back, this time you take the lead, we build a house and sell it to the people. "Changsun Chong wants to copy the way in Bagua City, first by the court to build a house, and then sell it to the people, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, as long as you have a fixed job and a fixed salary every month, you can buy a house in installments.

"Sell to the people?" Li Chengqian was puzzled, "These people, who were originally homeless, where did they get the money to buy a house?" Li Chengqian was puzzled, besides, the imperial court sold houses to the people, as if they were robbing money from the people.

The eldest grandson Chong saw that Li Chengqian was sincerely asking for advice, and he also replied enthusiastically: "This is called off-plan housing, the people have no money in their hands, and the court has money in their hands, so we will build the house first and then sell it to the people." The people have no money in their hands, but they have wages, except for necessary expenses, pay a sum of money every month, and after a few years, they can have a house and a yard. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, according to what my cousin said, compared to taking a few years to save enough money to buy a house, the advantage of this off-plan house is that people can live in the house while paying back." Li Chengqian is not stupid, and he immediately figured out the subtlety.

"yes, I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly. Now there is no need to fight, there is money in the treasury, and if it does not benefit the people, it will stay in the treasury and become moldy! Changsun Chong said proudly, this is domestic demand to drive the economy.

"Cousin, I want to get involved too, I don't know if it's okay?" Li Chengqian wanted to see the operation process of the off-plan house, and he knew it in his heart, which was also one of the gains this time.

"Of course!" The eldest grandson Chong didn't care, Li Chengqian's studious nature was good, and it was much better than having the heart to make him Lao Tzu.

"Cousin, I want to go too!" Li Ke has always seen that the prince wants to go, and he also wants to go, so he can help the eldest brother.

"Okay, whatever you want, since you're interested, I'll take you there!" Eldest Sun Chong was very happy and took the two of them to the place of respect.

Li Chengqian was very happy in his heart, and felt that he had gained a lot from coming out this time, and when he arrived at the place, there were thousands of craftsmen and began to burn kilns to make cement, but fortunately, there was an open-pit coal mine nearby, which could find fuel nearby, and there was a big river nearby, which could be powered by water power.

"Cousin, what is this for?" Li Chengqian was curious to see the powder on the side.

"Put on a mask first, there is a lot of dust here, and it's not good to suck it into your lungs." Changsun Chong took a few masks from Dazhu's hand and urged a few people to put them on.

Changsun Chong's requirements have always been very strict, and he must wear a mask to work, and if anyone does not listen, it is much more useful to directly fine their wages than to tell them that dust is very harmful. (To be continued......)
