Chapter Seventy-Nine: Cotton

Chirp and chirp, Mulan is a household weaving.

Daxing Palace, Shang Weaving Workshop.

An old palace maid with a wrinkled face sat in front of the loom, skillfully connecting the cotton threads in her hands.

The cotton thread is pulled neatly, and the palace maid's technique flies up and down, and every move has a rhythmic beauty.

Obviously, this palace maid has been immersed in this way for many years, and weaving has long been integrated into her soul.

Under the superb skills of the palace maid, after a while, the two-foot-wide cotton cloth has been woven.

"Your Royal Highness, please see!"

Ping Honggui held up the white cotton cloth and said with a confused expression.

The thin layer of cloth is as precious as a treasure in his hands.

In this era, cloth can be used as currency.

The cloth of the Sui Dynasty was roughly divided into several types, the first was silk, which was the most expensive and could only be worn by high-ranking officials and nobles.

The second is silk, which is worn by wealthy people.

The last one is Mai. Poor people can only afford this.

However, in the Shang Weaving Workshop, he was lucky enough to see the fourth possible mass production of cloth, and Ping Honggui couldn't help but tremble.

This is a remarkable discovery. If it has been implemented, it will be a great achievement that will benefit the present generation and the future generations.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King is really a genius, and as soon as the cotton cloth comes out, it will benefit thousands of people." Ping Honggui said excitedly.

Yang Yu waved his hand and said, "It's still very early to say this, our Great Sui Dynasty does not produce cotton, and we must import it from the Western Regions." Raw materials alone are the problem. ”

"What His Royal Highness said is very true, according to the information from the merchants, it is the merchants of the Western Regions who have purchased cotton on a large scale has attracted the attention of the countries of the Western Regions, although the countries of the Western Regions do not understand the use of the cotton purchased by His Highness, but according to the feedback of the merchants, the Gaochang Kingdom, which produces the most cotton, has begun to levy heavy taxes on the merchants who collect cotton." Du Ruhui stepped forward.

Du Ruhui has been in control of the whole process of cotton acquisition, and knows the cotton situation best.

Now the use of cotton has been shown in front of her, it can be woven, it can keep warm, and it is cheap.

The weight of the country, it is not an exaggeration to call cotton like this.

"Gao Chang!" Yang Yu snorted coldly, this is a country that has never been honest.

"I really don't know whether to live or die, a small country in the Western Regions dares to provoke the dignity of the kingdom." Ping Honggui said angrily.

"Okay, now that Grandpa Huang is far away in Jiangdu, his deterrent power against the countries of the Western Regions is not as good as before!" Yang Yu stopped Ping Honggui's verbal and written criticism.

"Your Royal Highness, since cotton is important, it must be in your own hands, and you can't let others pinch your neck." Du Ruhui has a sharp eye and can see the stakes at a glance.

"Du Ruhui immediately collected all the cotton seeds that had been peeled off and preserved them as seeds to prepare for large-scale cotton planting in the coming year."

"Yes, Your Highness the Acting King!" Du Ruhui responded.

Ping Honggui hesitated: "His Royal Highness the King of Qiyu, according to Weichen's understanding, cotton grows well in the countries of the Western Regions, and I am afraid that it is not suitable to grow in the Guanzhong region!" ”

Yang Yu nodded, obviously Ping Honggui still did a lot of homework, and Yang Yu has always admired courtiers who have ideas.

"Wang Xi, send an order to Lord Si Nong, ordering Si Nong to find a way to plant a large amount of cotton in the Guanzhong area in the shortest possible time."

Yang Yu thought for a while and said, since cotton can be grown everywhere in the entire Central Plains in later generations, it is also possible now.

Yang Yu thought for a while and said, "Secretly send people to the countries of the Western Regions to find out how they grow cotton. ”

I believe that with a two-pronged approach, cotton will be everywhere in Guanzhong next year.

"Yes!" Wang Xi quickly recorded it.

Yang Yu gently rubbed the cotton cloth in his hand, and a large number of cheap cotton cloth appeared, and a large number of cotton clothes and cotton jackets appeared.

As long as you work hard, you can definitely afford cotton clothes.

This winter, I don't have to worry about heating anymore.

…………

The sound of horses' hooves was rapid.

On the smooth official road, a fast horse galloped, and the red feathers on the knight's head were as red as blood.

Anyone with a little common sense recognizes the person - the Red Feather Messenger.

But Daxingcheng and Jiangdu have lost contact for a month, where did the Hongling messenger come from!

"Really?" Someone thought of a possibility and said in a trembling voice.

Immediately, the others also realized that they had already made contact with Jiang.

The Red Feather Messenger ran all the way to the front of Daxing Palace.

When he saw his destination, the messenger relaxed, and felt that the world was spinning, and he fell from his horse.

One of the guards was quick and stepped forward to help him up. This averted tragedy.

There were even guards who took over the messenger's task and hurried to Daxing Palace.

"Good!"

Hearing the guard's report, Yang Yu shouted, and the news that he had been waiting for for many days finally came.

"Settle the Red Feather Messenger well! Tell him that this king has a great reward. Yang Yu said excitedly.

"Yes! His Royal Highness! The guard replied.

With a long sigh of relief, Yang Yu consciously refreshed, and the haze that had been hanging over Yang Yun's head finally dissipated.

"Long live my emperor, ten thousand blessings and peace of mind!" More and more ministers heard the news and cheered loudly.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, as if after Yang Guang's news, all the problems were solved.

At this moment, Yang Yu had to admit that Yang Guang was the Dinghai Divine Needle of the entire Great Sui Dynasty, as long as Yang Guang was there, everything would be calm.

Even just one piece of news reassured all the ministers.

"On behalf of His Royal Highness, the old minister requests that the news of getting in touch with His Majesty be posted so that the people can share it." Wei Wen ascended

"Accurate!"

Yang Yu nodded in agreement.

With a wave of his hand, the herald's guards quickly left.

Soon, thunderous cheers came from the entire Daxing City.

Once the news of contact with Jiangdu came, all kinds of rumors that circulated throughout the Guanzhong area disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The Manchu civil and military forces immediately started working energetically and began to deal with the backlog of work for a month.

Yang Yu sat on the throne and fell into deep thought.

I don't know if the news is slow, Yang Guang didn't interfere with what he did.

Yang Guang's order to the Manchu Dynasty did not say a single word about the recent situation in Jingzhao County, whether it was about the Qinglou case in Daxingcheng, which was famous in Daxingcheng, or the "Prohibition of Human Trafficking Order" that discredited half of it.

Yang Yu was a little confused, and he didn't know what Yang Guang meant.

Not only Yang Yu, but also the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were also full of question marks, His Royal Highness the Acting King is doing such nonsense in Daxing City, don't you old man have any instructions.

Since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore, the idea of an otaku is so simple.

Yang Yu put aside distracting thoughts, restored the identity of a puppet, and mechanically covered with a big seal.

After a day's labor in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Yang Yu drew a successful end to them in a quarter of an hour.

………………

……………

"Yang Yu, look at the letter my father wrote to me!"

Yang Ji'er held a piece of letter paper with a happy face and showed it to Yang Yu, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Yang Yu was secretly amused in her heart, coaxed her a few words, and sent her away happily.

Looking at Yang Ji'er who was far away, Yang Yu sighed.

Concubine Wei and her bitter words couldn't persuade Yang Ji'er, and Yang Guang's thin letter made her so happy.

Poor baby!

Yang Yu's heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, Yang Ji'er, who lacked father's love, was excited for a thin piece of letter paper for a long time.

It's time to bring some childhood happiness to Yang Jier.

Stretching out his hand, Wang Xi stepped forward.

"His Royal Highness!"

"How's it going to give Princess Yun's New Year's gift?" Yang Yu asked.

"Your Royal Highness the Acting King, rest assured, the slave maid has been watching this matter, and it will definitely be completed before the New Year." Wang Xi assured.
