Li Cong saw the silk handkerchief handed over by Yan Yan, and joked with a smile: "Why did you think of sending me a silk handkerchief?"

"Back to the emperor, the silk handkerchief is not for you, the things inside are for you, your silk handkerchief, please send it to the queen." After Yan Yan finished speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled at the queen.

"This kid is getting more and more unruly, even the queen dares to joke." The Queen Mother reprimanded Yan Yan.

"No, it should be punished, not to mention the queen, she even dared to call me." Li Cong echoed.

"The emperor is a golden mouth, you can't just say it and don't do it, but the concubines will see how the emperor will punish him." The queen made it clear that it was not a big deal to see the excitement.

It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Li Cong opened the silk handkerchief, and when he saw the balls of cotton wrapped in the silk handkerchief, he was stunned, mainly because he had never seen this kind of thing, nor had he ever seen silk cotton, so he didn't think about it for a while.

But the queen saw it and asked casually, "Isn't this silky?" ”

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and touched it, "Like, but definitely not, how can Silk Mian not have it, and she still needs to send it?" ”

"Isn't that what you call cotton?" When Li Cong heard the word silk, he reacted instantly, and touched it with his hand excitedly.

"It's really worthy of the emperor, I guessed it at once." Yan Yan smiled.

When the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother heard that this was planted by Yan Yan again, they hurriedly took a ball and studied it carefully.

"This must be no problem to make cotton jackets and quilts, can it also be used for spinning and weaving?" The Queen Mother asked.

"I asked someone and said they could try it." Yan Yan didn't dare to say too much.

As soon as Li Cong heard this, he hurriedly asked about the output of this thing, and learned that this was only the flocculent of a few cotton bolls, which was equivalent to the yield of less than one cotton plant, Li Cong was excited, and reached out to touch Yan Yan's head, but found that it was not enough, so he had to hold Yan Yan's hand, "Yes, yes, you have made another great achievement, and I have to make a note for you." ”

"Isn't it too dazzling? I'm afraid that it will cause resentment and jealousy among others. "Yan Yan's original intention was just to do something practical, improve people's livelihood, and by the way, strike at those few people who killed the original owner, but he didn't dare to think about it for a hundred years.

"Whoever dares to be jealous, let him do something practical himself, and I will also write it down for him." Li Cong withdrew his hand and waved his hand.

Yan Yan couldn't answer this.

"That is, what we Yan'er has done is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and we don't ask for any gifts, but just leave a name, who dares to have an opinion?" The Queen Mother was happy and hugged Yan Yan.

"I don't dare to think about benefiting the country and the people, I just want to share the worries of the Queen Mother and the Emperor and the Empress and do what I can, which is what my grandmother once taught me." Yan Yan moved out of Mrs. Yan in a timely manner.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard that Yan Yan attributed the credit to her sister, the folds on her face suddenly stretched a little more, and her gaze at Yan Yan became kinder and softer.

"Yan'er, you say, what do you want to give the seal?" Li Cong heard the meaning of the queen mother's words.

"Back to the emperor, we said okay, I will leave this opportunity to my husband, he is also very smart, but now he is studying hard and has no time to take care of these mundane affairs." Yan Yan thanked him and said.

"Speaking of taking care of mundane affairs, I heard that you are a genius in this area, and a cake shop has tens of thousands of dollars a year, but really?" The queen spoke.

"It's not true, even I got 2,000 dividends this year, and Xiaoliu too, this kid is indeed business material." The Queen Mother boasted.

Li Cong's heart moved when he heard this, he remembered Yan Yan's proposal to form a fleet and a caravan, he hadn't thought about it these days, but he was hesitant, first, he couldn't find a suitable person to take the lead; The second is that the treasury can't get the money, but he doesn't want to give up this part of the profits.

However, the Queen Mother's words gave him an inspiration, he could build a shipyard, not a caravan fleet, but a special ship to sell.

As for the start-up money for the establishment of the shipyard, he can collect a part of the deposit first, and those big merchants will definitely rush to it if they hear that they can form a caravan to go to sea to make money.

So, Li Cong said his thoughts, he wanted to hear Yan Yan's opinion.

Yan Yan agrees with this plan, even if the emperor doesn't do it, she has this intention, but she definitely can't do it alone, she wants to pull the prince and several princes to join forces.

That afternoon, Yan Yan stayed in the palace for dinner, and the crown princess and Li Sui, who got the news, also came.

After the meal, Yan Yan mixed a few bowls of cold noodles with vinegar and honey for everyone to taste, saying that they were cold noodles, but in fact, the taste was a bit like jelly, and children especially loved to eat it.

No, Li Xi obviously likes to eat more than Li Sui, but Li Xi is young, and Yan Yan didn't dare to let him eat too much.

"It's still Yan'er's popularity, as soon as Yan'er comes, the queen mother is lively, it's like a festival, there is delicious food, and you can follow the long knowledge." The queen was happy to see her grandson eating, and she was also happy.

"Even the queen mother said that she has seen a lot, so it must be that Sister Yan'er has something new?" Li Sui asked.

"This lotus root flour is not, isn't the sweet potato of Fangcai? By the way, in a few days, your sister's Yan'er family will harvest yams and cotton, you can also go along, take a few people from the agricultural department to see how much the yield is, don't just patronize and eat, but also follow the experience. Li Cong has high hopes for this sweet potato and cotton, and you must know how many years the word food and clothing have plagued Da Zhou.

"Back to my father, let's go with us, following Sister Yan'er can indeed grow knowledge, and we can also experience and train ourselves." Li Sui said.

"That's right, just now I also learned the way of doing business with Yan'er for half an hour, and I have benefited a lot, so it's good for you to follow along." Li Cong regretted a little that he didn't call his sons earlier.

"The emperor is joking, how do I know any real way of doing business, but I just picked up a little bit of the wisdom of my predecessors." Yan Yan said busily.

"It's good to be able to learn the things of our predecessors thoroughly and improve them and apply them to actual production and life. Also, everything in the world is interconnected, don't underestimate this way of doing business, which also gives birth to the great principle of being a human being. Li Cong concluded.

From Fang Cai's conversation, he was even more convinced of one thing, Yan Yan definitely had some adventures, but he couldn't delve into this problem, but one thing he was sure of was that what Yan Yan had in his head could definitely benefit people, so he hoped that these children could learn more things from her.

"As the emperor, I will be able to draw inferences from others, I don't have such a deep experience." Yan Yan lowered himself a little.

Li Cong smiled and didn't talk about this topic again, but asked if Yan Yan would return to Lu's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Knowing that Yan Yan had returned to Lu's house, he invited Yan Yan to enter the palace on the sixteenth night to admire the moon together, but this proposal was rejected by Yan Yan.

The main reason is that the month is too big, and she is afraid that if she touches it, she will be in trouble, after all, there must be many people who entered the palace that day.
