With Qin Qiong as a guarantor, Liu Weifeng now has the trust of Changsun Chong and others, so he will hand over such an important matter to him, which greatly alleviates the shortage of craftsmen. Not only is Liu Weifeng good at organizing, but several Yizi are also good at it, and his efficiency has improved a lot. The group of people brought by Liu Weifeng are also down-to-earth and hardworking, and they are not cheating and cheating.

"Uncle Liu, this oil mill has been handed over to you, I hope to get it up as soon as possible, and everyone can use cheap cottonseed oil in the future. However, this cottonseed oil cannot be eaten, and can only be used for lighting, so it has to be made clear. The eldest grandson reminded him, "Eating will cause men to be sterile in the morning." ”

When Liu Weifeng heard this, he nodded again and again and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely increase publicity, this cotton oil can't be eaten, it can only be illuminated." "This man's infertility is a big deal, for future generations, and for incense, it's no joke.

"Hehe, that's good, I'll leave this job to you, I'm relieved. Now that the farming has passed, and there is now a need to make a large number of cotton clothes, I want the women in the village to work together to make cotton clothes, which is also easy to manage. The eldest grandson Chong said, "When the farming is idle, those women can earn money by making clothes."

Liu Weifeng smiled: "I'm about to go to you, my daughters-in-law are all capable, they are capable of these jobs, just let them concentrate on the big tiled house they bought before." In this way, they can also be supervised not to cut corners and complete the work with quality and quantity. "Now everyone has a home, money, a good life, hope, and a head.

"Well, tomorrow, I'll have someone send cloth, cotton, and needlework, and I'll go and ask you for it. Let everyone do it well, the salary is much. Changsun Chong was relieved, there were a total of ninety villages. Many women will be collected to make cotton clothes, which can be made and sent to the border before winter.

"Rest assured, it's done." Liu Weifeng has a high prestige in the village, and he is willing to help anyone who has something to do on weekdays, so as long as he says it, someone will respond.

"Uncle Liu, tomorrow I will invite all the village chiefs to come over, and when the time comes, as the village head of the first village, I will be fully responsible for this matter, and I will supervise the weight and quality of each cotton coat. I provided cloth and cotton. It's all very rich, and I don't want anyone to hide it privately, or cut corners, so that those soldiers who defend their homes and countries will starve and freeze. The eldest grandson Chong said in a deep voice.

This sentence seemed to touch Liu Weifeng's heart, and he said with emotion: "I won't tell you anything." In the past, the old man participated in the war of the former Sui against Goguryeo, but because of the urgency of time. Poor preparation. A lot of things have cut corners, take over shoddy weapons, and the ships are not strong, hey"

"Uncle Liu, don't worry, there will be several sets of procedures to check this part in the future. It won't happen again. Changsun Chong also knew about this situation, and heard that Emperor Yang of Sui issued an order to require craftsmen to work overtime to build ships, eat, drink, and lazar in the water. After taking over the festering maggots on the craftsmen's bodies, a lot of tofu scum boats were made, and they fell apart after soaking in the water for a while.

The next day, all the village chiefs arrived, and Li Er and the others hid behind their mothers to see what the eldest grandson Chong was going to do.

Below sat rows of people, and in front of them there was a small table with boiling water.

After the eldest grandson rushed in, he saluted everyone first, and everyone got up one after another and returned the salute.

"I called everyone here today for the sake of cotton clothes. Everyone knows that this is a piece of clothing for the border soldiers, so I implore you to do your best. The eldest grandson said in a deep voice, looking at the people in front of him.

Liu Weifeng was the first to stand up, he used to be a soldier, he knew the hardships of being a soldier, he was okay on weekdays, except for training, there was no danger, once the horn sounded, he could only obey the order, move forward bravely, and life and death were determined by God.

"Lord Eldest Sun, the villain is the village chief of Cuizhu New Village, please say a few words." Although the two knew each other, Liu Weifeng didn't want to show off.

"Village Chief Liu, please speak!"

"The villain is not talented, he used to be a small soldier in the former Sui period, he participated in the war of the three expeditions to Goguryeo launched by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and knew the hardships of being a soldier and the difficulties of being a soldier, and went to the battlefield, that is, nine deaths and one life. Although we are afraid of those who serve as soldiers on weekdays, we have to say that they protect the safety of the country and the safety of the people. This time, the official family contributed money and goods to make clothes for the soldiers in the frontier. We can earn wages and live without worry, so we have to do our best for the border soldiers. Because without them, we would not have the stable life we have now. Liu Weifeng said sensationally.

"The villain has something to say!" Another village chief, in his thirties, stood up.

"Please!"

"Our part has suffered from war for a long time. Now Your Majesty is wise and the warriors are brave, guarding the north gate for us, so that we can live in peace and stability. All of us used to be homeless, but now that we have a good life, we naturally want to repay our kindness. Even if we don't need to be paid, we people in the village are willing to sew cotton clothes for the soldiers. ”

"We're willing not to take any money!" This year's cotton sales have given these people hundreds of taels of silver, which is something they couldn't have imagined before. In order to protect their property, it is hoped that the soldiers at the border will be able to withstand the intrusion of the foreign country.

Everyone's emotions were mobilized, and after some bittersweet memories, they all blushed and expressed their attitudes.

Li Er looked at these excited crowds and nodded secretly, with such a popular base, I am afraid that I will not be able to collect the hearts of the people.

Changsun Chong signaled everyone to calm down and calm down, and then said slowly: "You are all reasonable people, and I thank you for your support on behalf of the imperial court, and thank you on behalf of the border guards." A stable life is not easy to come by, and we must all cherish it. This time, His Majesty emptied the treasury to settle you, just hoping that every citizen in Datang would have food, clothing, and housing. Now we have done the initial thing, and we have recruited more than 200,000 people. Now it is the imperial court that asks you for help, as long as the cotton clothes are completed as required, and the wages will be paid. ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have worked hard."

"You are all loyal and patriotic people, and it is a great honor for Datang to have people like you." Changsun Chong continued to encourage these people, "Now that the imperial court needs your help, I must ask you to do your best." ”

He also said some words of loyalty, and more than 90 village chiefs went to the place where they received the materials, ready to go back and mobilize all the forces they could to make cotton clothes, and thank the court for its favor.

Watching a cart of new cotton and fabric being pulled away, Li Er patted Changsun Chong's shoulder and said, "Chong'er, you're doing a good job." ”

"It's all Your Majesty's Shengming." Eldest Sun Chong smiled and said, "If it weren't for Your Majesty's wise decision, there would not have been a bumper harvest this year." In fact, the people are very simple, as long as they are fed, clothed, warm and have a house to live in, everything will be complete, they have the strength, and they will do their best to do things. ”

"yes, is the house still being built?" Li Er asked.

Eldest Sun Chong nodded and said, "Yes, the captives are still building houses, and they won't be able to build them when they freeze." About 60,000 military households can be accommodated, and these people can drag their families and families and come directly. You can work when you are farming, practice in your spare time, and do not delay farming or training, and within three years you will be able to have a group of soldiers who are brave and good at fighting. Now you have also seen that the enthusiasm of the people is high, as long as they need to, they can raise their arms and shout, and they can recruit a lot of strong men, and the source of soldiers is not a problem. ”

Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, the soldiers are in the peasants." It seems that you have borrowed from the experience of Bagua City. ”

"Hehe, in fact, the truth is very simple, as long as the people have a livelihood to live, the hearts of the people will be towards whom. Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts are unprecedented, and the cohesion of the people of the Tang Dynasty is very strong, and the recovery of lost territory is just around the corner. Changsun Chong said with emotion.

"That's what you call ideological education, right?" Li Er asked.

"Hehe, sort of! Some armies have special counselors to boost morale in wartime, and care for soldiers in peacetime, and only with ideological education can we unify our thinking. Changsun Chong suggested that he thought that the millet plus rifle defeated Little Japan and defeated the United States, not by weapons, but by wisdom and will.

Li Er nodded, deeply convinced.

"Brother Qin is here to check here, and in five days I will leave for Dengzhou to see what the big ship that has been built with so much money looks like." Li Er's heart is thinking about those big ships.

"Then Your Majesty, do you want Chong'er to come with you?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"That's nature, the drawings you brought, naturally you want to go." Li Er insisted, "By the way, I received a letter from your father, begging me to take you back to Chang'an, your mother misses you very much." ”

Changsun Chong originally wanted to go to the northeast to take a trip to the plot, but it seems that he can't do it now.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson rushed down.

"Some things are not done in one handful, take your time, and when you come back after the Lantern Festival, you do things, I can rest assured." Li Er's jaw was headed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Changsun Chong felt that it didn't matter, anyway, he had now entered a period of stable development, as long as he followed the previous regulations, there would be no problems. Anyway, he also wanted to see how the big ship was built, and the last time he went, he only saw one part after another.

Three days later, ten board cars behind Liu Weifeng came over.

It turned out that they had already made 200 cotton clothes and sent them over, and there were still today's fabrics and cotton left in the house, and they had to understand the new materials today, otherwise they would not be able to do it next year.

"Village Chief Liu, this is the first time you have delivered the goods, and you have worked hard. As is customary, I had to check it first. A man who looked like a steward said.

"That's a must!" Liu Weifeng didn't care, he had already seen these cotton clothes, so he naturally didn't worry about others checking them.

The cotton clothes were very neatly folded, and the housekeeper checked them one by one, and it took about half an hour to finally check the bi, and he said: "There are a lot of skillful hands in Cuizhu New Village!" The clothes are very well made! (To be continued......)
