"Lu Guogong, you are ......"

Tang Ping didn't feel strange to see Cheng Zhijie, this old guy was thick-skinned and often came to his store to eat and drink, except for Li Yuanji, he was the most diligent.

It's just that he can't figure out why he brought a little girl today, and he doesn't look like Cheng Chumo's daughter at his age.

And this dress looks like the family is not very rich, is it ......

"I said Tang boy, don't think about it, this is your little girl here, I'll bring her to rub some delicious food!"

said and touched the little girl's head: "Look, do I also call him Tang Xiaozi in front of him, and also, I didn't lie to you, did I bring you here to eat, you see that sister's name is Xiaoluo, you go to her, the best thing in the whole Tang Dynasty is made by her." ”

handed over the child to Xiaoluo, and then sat in front of Tang Ping: "You have done a good job here!" ”

"Thanks to Lu Guogong's praise!"

"Okay, okay, I heard you're going to get something? What red glass bridge? ”

"Yes, Prince He plans to build a glass bridge over a river leading to Chang'an here, and see if he can make a little money."

"Heh, if it's a little money, you kid can look at it? I don't care, I also have to build a small bridge in my house, you can arrange it for me! ”

"Yes!" This old man is thick-skinned and not very reasonable at the same time, if he wants to repair it, he will repair one for him.

It's just that I heard that his wife is not very bold, and I don't know if I dare to go up and go when the time comes, if I scare his wife, I'm afraid that this old man's ears will suffer again.

Tang Ping was also holding back his bad heart, Cheng Zhijie didn't expect him to agree so simply, and he was slightly stunned.

Then he looked left and right, only Lao Cui Lao Du and Lu Yi were beside Tang Ping, and he also knew that Tang Ping absolutely trusted these people, so he leaned over and whispered to Tang Ping: "Aren't there many people here who don't have jobs for the time being?" How about I introduce you to one? ”

Tang Ping estimated that this old man didn't just come to eat today, it seems that there are other things.

He also whispered: "What other industry does Lu Guogong have?" ”

"What kind of property can I have? Usually you don't take me with you to make money, but this time, your majesty explained this matter. ”

"Oh? What to do? Tang Ping didn't expect that Li Shimin was going to do it, but he didn't know why this old man was so mysterious.

"Plant white stacks!"

"White stacks?" Tang Ping was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately reacted, isn't that cotton?

He brought a lot of cotton seeds to Li Shimin more than a year ago, but Tang Ping could only use them for breeding, and it was definitely not enough to plant them on a large scale.

Now listening to the meaning of Cheng Zhijie, it should be that the breeding has been completed.

"This thing, can't be planted near Chang'an?"

"Isn't this nonsense? At that time, the five major cotton producing areas were still zoned by yourself, and now the suitable place for planting in our Datang is naturally in the northeast of Luoyang. ”

Cheng Zhijie is talking about the North Henan Plain, when Tang Ping gave cotton seeds to the Ministry of People, he also told them the five major cotton producing areas in China according to the script, and the most suitable piece in the Tang Dynasty is indeed the North Henan Plain.

"Yes...... Why do you come to me for someone? ”

"The composition of your personnel here is relatively simple, no matter who they were originally in Beiyan, they are now dragging their families and becoming residents of the Special Administrative Region here with their families, and the most important thing in this matter is to keep it secret!" Cheng Zhijie looked at the residents of the Special Administrative Region who were carnivaling below: "Winter is coming soon, and now it is necessary to get the land out and wait until the spring of next year to start planting in large quantities." ”

Cheng Zhijie is so mysterious, Tang Ping understood after thinking about it, this is to prepare for war.

It seems that there are many people who need to grow cotton, but if they are recruited from other places, they are too conspicuous, and they may be discovered by spies from other countries.

If you pull people over from Tang Ping, the people in this special zone have little contact with other people outside, and you can pull people over without knowing it.

And to plant cotton, it must be to make cotton clothes, so it is easy to think of where to fight, the Northern Yan in the north has been taken by Hou Junji unexpectedly, and the only thing that can make the Tang Dynasty pay so much attention is Tubo, which is located on the plateau.

For more than a year, under the economic offensive of Tang Ping, the Tubo aristocracy was raising sheep on a large scale, and there were many domestic complaints.

It's just that the Tibetan armed forces are in the hands of their nobles, so the people dare not speak out.

However, the people's grievances are indeed getting bigger and bigger, and if they are instigated next year, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns in Tibet.

When the cotton clothes are done in winter, the Tubo people are most unexpected, and it is estimated that the Tang Dynasty will attack in an all-out way.

This matter really can't make the Tubo people take precautions in advance.

Tang Ping thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "But they have just settled down in Chang'an, if they want to go out for more than half a year......"

"So didn't I come to consult with you? I just looked at it, and these people are quite grateful to you, and if you say it, I don't think they will have much of a problem. ”

Tang Ping rolled his eyes angrily: "So let me be this bad guy, right?" ”

"How can you be a bad person?" Cheng Zhijie hurriedly said: "Like you said, what's going on here...... Yes, travel expenses, they went to Luoyang to plant white stacks, the government took care of food and housing, and after the harvest, they also collected white stacks by catty, I dare to assure you that the sum of all incomes is definitely more than going to the workshop to work! ”

After speaking, Cheng Zhijie said ill-intentionedly: "Your kid went out to my house silently, I haven't settled accounts with your kid yet." ”

Tang Ping smiled, at that time he suggested the formation of a supervision department, which was composed of the second generation of officials who had just come of age in Chang'an City, and Cheng Chumo was one of them.

It seems that he did use his travel expenses to fool them at that time.

"Okay, I'll try!" Tang Ping finally nodded: "Let's say okay first, my people can work in the past, but the logistics have to be done for me, how many people have passed, how many people have to come back!" ”

This matter involves Datang's future strategic deployment, and he naturally wants to help if he can.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this for you, and you can go over and take a look yourself!" After speaking, Cheng Zhijie said with a strange face: "Why don't I go to the book and leave this matter to you to be responsible?" Originally, this matter was intended to be given to you from the beginning, but who knew that you didn't go to several meetings in the Xiande Palace, and it was handed over to my old Cheng. ”

Tang Ping was embarrassed, this matter was estimated to be true, but he could only push it back and say: "This matter has to go to Luoyang, you see that my mother is pregnant, I can't go, or trouble Lu Guogong!" ”
