After confirming that Xiangling and Qingwen had a sufficient foundation, Li Anran took the time to go to the modern time and space to find a printing house to directly print tens of thousands of complete textile processes such as spinning machines, spinning machines, looms and looms, and it was also an illustrated manual, and then decisively became the shopkeeper and handed over the teaching to these two maids.

The imitation of a series of equipment, such as spinning machines, spinning machines, looms and silk looms, was completely handed over to the Zhou carpenters. As for Li Anran, he returned to modern time and space, and took advantage of the convenience of the trading company to purchase a batch of newly picked cotton in the market.

With this batch of cotton, the progress of the textile training course is obviously much faster than the original theory. Xiangling and Qingwen, who knew that this time it was their chance, were very serious about learning about textiles under the orders of their respective young ladies.

Not only the use of a series of equipment such as spinning machines, spinning machines, looms and looms has been quickly mastered and put into skilled use, but also the skills of raising silkworms and extracting silk, planting cotton and making yarn have also been mastered.

With these two people studying hard and working hard, the degree of concentration is enough to make many students in later generations embarrassed, and the training of those weavers is naturally applied. It didn't take long for the temporary textile training class to start producing cotton cloth smoothly. That is, the white cloth of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, in terms of production capacity, as the textile workers become more and more proficient in the operation of equipment and the sufficient supply of raw materials, it has gradually become a large number from a small amount at the beginning. Seeing that these cotton cloths produced were no longer enough to digest within the villa, under Xiangyun's suggestion, these cotton cloths circulated into the fabric market of Datang.

Don't look at the textile training class can produce a lot of cotton cloth every day, but compared to the consumer market in Lantian County and Chang'an City, it is really nothing. In addition, new textile equipment and technology have not yet been promoted. These are white stacked fabrics with a delicate texture and high quality. Once it was listed, it was not only very popular with ancient consumers, but also sold at a very good price.

In addition to bringing cotton cloth to the market, after Li Anran gave Li Shimin six tons of grain, he not only further expanded the cultivation of various grains, fruits, and vegetables on his own territory. At the same time, it also began to spread through the commercial banks in Xingyang Zheng's family in the north and south of the river. Acquired crop varieties from all over Datang. Even medicinal herbs, poultry, beasts, and so on were not spared.

As for the series of actions on the side of Xiaoyao Villa, they are still sent to Chang'an City regularly by those nursing homes and secret spies. However, Li Shimin's attitude has not changed because of this meeting. Instead, let Li Anran continue to be in Zhuangzi, doing whatever he wants.

After planting the improved grain that had been brought to the upper realm in the royal grange, and was surprised to find that the grain not only grew much faster than before, but was also much better than the original in terms of size and health, two holy decrees were sent down to the Joyful Villa.

The content of the first holy decree is relatively simple, and after a "nonsense" that ordinary people can't understand at all, Li Anran was given the title of pure yang real person personally certified by Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, to the surprise of those Wenchen generals who knew about it, in addition to this title, they did not give the expected titles such as national teacher or heavenly master.

In the second holy decree, Li Shimin finally gave a substantial reward, and directly assigned the entire Taibai Mountain near Xiaoyao Mountain Villa to someone's name.

Such a reward does look not small, but in Li Anran's eyes, the amount of water in it is also not small.

Taibai Mountain looks big, but the terrain of many areas is quite complicated, and even if it is assigned to its own name, it is impossible to completely control it. Not to mention that there are many villages that still live in Taibai Mountain, so you can't drive people away or restrict them from entering the mountain just because the mountain is your own.

Not to mention that there are not only ordinary people living on this Taibai Mountain, but also some Taoist and Buddhist temples. In the decree, there is no indication of what these guys want to take away. Therefore, to a certain extent, this seemingly huge reward is not only flashy and bad, but also a hot potato.

The only thing that satisfied Li Anran was that with this reward, it would be much more justified for what he wanted to do in Taibai Mountain in the future. As for those temples and Taoist temples that already existed, they didn't think about coming to the door to drive people out for a while. Anyway, I can't use it so much, as long as these guys don't take the initiative to come to the door and cause trouble, I have the right to be invisible.

Just when the textile training class was going more and more smoothly in the bumps and bumps, and the projects of the academy, the commercial street and the farmers' market, as well as the corresponding enrollment and investment promotion work were also being carried out in an orderly manner, Li Anran, as the "mastermind behind the scenes", put most of his attention on Yingzhou Island in modern time and space.

The first phase of the project on Yingzhou Island is not too complicated, except for the establishment of the two main infrastructures of water and electricity on the flat No. 2 Island, that is, the construction of some houses, plantations, farmland, livestock farms, marine ranches, the construction of wharves and a small airport.

Don't look at the first phase of the project, there are a lot of things that need to be done, but in fact, it is not too troublesome project. In addition, there are three engineering teams to divide labor and cooperate, and the corresponding material supply is replenished in a timely manner with the support of sufficient funds, and the progress of the whole project is very fast.

In Li Anran's original planning, the relatively flat No. 2 Island was used as an agricultural base, and once the first phase of the project was successfully completed, then as long as it survived the initial stage, Yingzhou Island could easily enter the stage of self-sufficiency.

After Yingzhou Island can be self-sufficient, it will save a lot of trouble if it wants to develop further.

For the development project of Island No. 2, Li Anran, as a layman, only needs to pay attention to the quality, and the others are not very concerned. The reason why most of the attention is paid to Yingzhou Island in modern time and space is mainly because of some benefits that have been realized after suddenly entering the meditation before.

The biggest advantage is to determine the fact that the change to Datang's time and space will develop its own traversal ability. To a certain extent, the more the time and space of the Tang Dynasty are changed, the greater the benefits Li Anran will get. And this benefit is not limited to the ability to traverse, there are more unknown aspects to be discovered.

The first thing to be discovered is the benign impact of time travel on living things. Putting aside the special situation of Li Anran, those crops and animals including poultry and livestock that have been greatly improved in both quality and yield after being brought to the Tang Dynasty from modern time and space are the best examples.

After bringing new textile techniques and equipment to Datang time, Li Anran began to further verify the benefits of this benign influence. For example, what is the difference between plants and animals that have only traveled once and what is the difference between plants and animals that have traveled twice or N times?

Not to mention, after spending a certain amount of time on classification and comparison experiments, Li Anran obviously found that plants that have only undergone one time and space travel will generally degrade after one season of growth.

Take the potatoes that shocked Li Shimin and a group of Wenchen generals in the Tang Dynasty before, and the yield of the first batch of planted was as high as about 200 stones.

It is said that the next generation of potatoes after the improvement of time and space travel should be better than the previous generation at the genetic level, but after taking this batch of potatoes as seeds and planting them in a suitable field, the shortening of the growth cycle is not too obvious, but the reduction of at least three points of yield has already explained the problem.

Due to the relationship of time, it is still unknown what kind of changes will occur when the potatoes are planted to the third generation after only one time travel is affected, but judging from the planting results of the second generation, the extension of the growth cycle and the reduction of yield have almost become inevitable. (To be continued......)
