Li Qing stood upright and took off the cloth towel that covered his face. Qiguan gasped, this Jinzhou heaven and earth aura is really a good face of Li Qing.

It's just a pity that the woman in front of her is already someone else's wife, and she has become a widow with children. If only I had known about her in the early years......

Qi Guan shook off the improper thoughts in his head, tried his best to make himself look softer, and said to Li Qing: "Li Shi, sit, you should know why I am looking for you." ”

Since the emperor deigned to descend and secretly ran to Da Si Nong's mansion to see him, then Li Qing was not worried about his life. She walked to the side of the chair very casually and sat in the same room as the emperor of the Tianqi Dynasty.

Li Qing has a face that does not smile and smiles to herself, as long as she is not angry, she is always very warm. Qi Guan gave Tang Shenglin a look, and Tang Shenglin also found a place to sit down, but he kept the attitude of a courtier.

"Your Majesty must have summoned the little woman for the purpose of promoting cotton." Li Ching Road.

Qi Guan sat upright, although Li Qing was just a woman, but Tianqi was no less open-minded to women than Tang, and men's attitude towards women was much more peaceful than that of the avant-garde dynasty. Qiguan was brought up by his grandmother, and his grandmother taught him to be tolerant of women, and he has always practiced it.

From this point of view, Qiguan is indeed a relatively good emperor.

"I want to hear your thoughts." Qi Guan on Li Qingdao.

He discussed this matter with Da Si Nong and made a preliminary plan, and now that the main master is here, he has practiced this matter, and her ideas are not without reference value.

"Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, then the little woman does not have to pretend to be stupid, Your Majesty is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, although I was born in a barbarian land, I have also received the grace of Your Majesty's wisdom."

Li Qing adheres to the principle of flattering first when speaking to the big guy, and then putting forward his own opinions. Doing so not only makes Qiguan happy, but also saves his own life.

In ancient times, there were no human rights, and the imperial power was greater than the sky, so she should have less contact with these people in the future.

"Jinzhou is a weaving state, has always come to the things of Shu brocade for the industry, so the achievement of local performance, part of the Shu brocade for supply, the other part is sold to merchants, but the little woman found that in addition to weaving silk, we also weave hemp and kudzu, but still can not meet the daily needs of the people, most of the people wear coarse linen clothes, and some poor people do not even have a change of clothes all year round."

Li Qing swallowed her saliva and talked to the emperor, where did she dare to drink water?

"So you want to start with cotton? For a long time, basically no one has been able to submit to such a thing as cotton, maybe they can, but it is also pitifully inefficient. "Qiguan said.

Li Qing smiled and said: "I know, but I found a way to restrain myself, and after repeated experiments, I made a few things that can be spinned, weaved, and even stretched, and the role of cotton in the future will definitely not be inferior to silk." ”

Not inferior to silk, he naturally thought of this stubble. After all, Qiguan is not a vegetarian, not to mention that he also has Da Si Nong, and no one knows Tianqi's farming better than Da Si Nong. Then, he can try his best to let Li Qing assist Dasi Nong to complete this matter, and spread the method of cotton planting and weaving all over the world.

This will prolong the time for him to recharge his energy and fulfill his father's long-cherished wish.

"Jiang Lishi, what if it doesn't work?" Qi Guanhu's momentum was shocked, and the emperor's unique coercion pressed Li Qing. Although Li Qing had seen some of the world, this was the first time she had experienced this kind of coercion from the superiors, her heart was beating uncontrollably and violently, and her hands began to be cold.

But how could she admit defeat?

So he pretended to be calm and said: "I have been planting for two years, and I have harvested all of them, otherwise, how could I take it out so easily that Your Majesty can also see it?" ”

"Hehe, it is interesting for you to spare this woman, so I ordered you to assist Dasi Nong to promote cotton planting, and then teach the people, if it really happens, I will reward you, if not, then wait for the whole clan to be destroyed." Qi Guan said this lightly, and Li Qing's back was suddenly wet.

Meow a mi, punish the nine clans at every turn, punish the nine clans!!

The emperor of the world is as black as ever!

Li Qing smiled, knelt on the ground and kowtowed "yes".

"Get up." Qi Guan also laughed like Li Qing, but this smile was very dark in Li Qing's opinion.

"Your Majesty wants the little women to participate, but how can the little women overturn the whole world with the power of one person?" Li Qing got up and asked.

"Your Majesty, why don't we send someone to Jinzhou, let the Li Church come back, bring a body of skills, and then gradually promote it? It is really difficult to do it alone. Tang Shenglin finally stopped being a wooden man and opened his mouth to speak for Li Qing.

"This method is very good, very good." Qi Guan said again: "It's still Tang Aiqing's thoughtfulness." ”

Li Qing: Did the "......" get the consent of the deity? Meow a mi, after passing it, I can only agree!

So the two bigwigs assigned Li Qing a task like this.

Li Qing has to accept it if he doesn't accept it.

Fortunately, although Qiguan didn't have much money, he still chose to use his private treasury to fund Li Qing, and secretly sent a group of skilled craftsmen and women who were proficient in textiles to Jinzhou before Li Qing.

And Lexu County, Jinzhou, is vigorously engaged in a major reform of the textile industry.

In Li Qing's plan, under the leadership of Jiang and assisted by Liang Shanxian, Xishuizhuang built a wall and began to spin cotton. In a year, Li Ao built four new textile machines for Li Qing, which can be multi-jacquard at the same time, not only weaving silk and maze, but also spinning cotton yarn. The fabric pattern of the weaving is one layer higher than that of the traditional loom.

As a result, the experienced old farmers re-planned the site for Xishuizhuang, so that the land could be fully utilized.

Li Qing allowed them to reclaim the wasteland, and after three years of planting, they began to hand over 60 percent, leaving 40 percent.

After the current land is planted with cotton, seventy percent of the harvested grain is handed in. Near the river are paddy fields, planting rice, and Li Qing is divided with them. In addition to this, Li Qing was also responsible for the land tax of the imperial court. However, after Yun and the examination are passed, the land tax of the family will be directly halved. Tianqi has a rule that the tax on the land within 200 acres of the family of the meritorious person will be halved.

In contrast, Li Qing was already the most enlightened landowner.

It is said that Li Qing was sent back to the post station in full gear that day, and the next day he redeemed the set of jewelry that was about to become a dead pawn.

It's too late to take care of the house that was picked up in Beijing, anyway, it's not his own, plus the emperor sent a set of second-hand courtyard houses to her family, so the capital didn't have to worry about no house to live in.
