I don't know if it was to prevent their father and son from colluding, or to prevent them from holding back and fighting, Yuan Li sat between the two.

This piece is the seat of the vassal state, and in the middle of the two are Li Shizi and Yuan Li of Chengguo, and under Tuoba Liuxiu is Zhang Yu, the prince of Xiliang, and his envoy, it is said that Tuoba Liuxiu should sit with his father.

Li Shizi also seemed to feel strange, and he couldn't help but look back and forth at the father and son during the meal, and always frowned when he looked at Tuoba Liuxiu.

Yuan Li knew that this son of the world was pure and kind, and he attached great importance to filial piety, he belonged to his father and uncle who handed him a knife and committed suicide, and he wiped his neck with a knife without saying a word, and Tuoba Liuxiu are two people who are diametrically opposed.

At the palace banquet, whether it was a fight between father and son, or a fight between two feudal princes, it was not good, so Yuan Li could only constantly divert his attention, introducing him to food for a while, and asking him what food was in Shudi for a while, so he didn't let his brain idle.

Tuoba Yilu looked at Tuoba Liuxiu several times, gave him a look when Yuan Li was not paying attention, and wanted him to leave the table, and the father and son had a good talk.

But he got up and went out to the thatched house twice, and Tuoba Liuxiu was like a nail on the seat and did not move, which made Tuoba Yilu angry.

He didn't know that Daiguo was in danger, and at this time he didn't care about the grudge between father and son, he just wanted to unite against Zhao Hanzhang.

But apparently Tuoba Liuxiu couldn't understand him, and didn't want to understand him.

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang coming over, Tuoba Yilu endured it for a while, but still took advantage of the musicians' efforts to get up and go out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”

The geisha, who were about to enter the stage, paused and gently stepped back to the side.

Zhao Hanzhang motioned to Tuoba Yilu and said.

Tuoba Yilu grinded his teeth, but still said: "Your Majesty, please appoint the eldest son Tuoba Liuxiu as the son of the country." ”

Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "It's a good omen for today, it's a double happiness, allow!" ”

The hundred officials also had no opinion, and they congratulated Tuoba Yilu and his son, and praised the emperor's wisdom.

Only Li Shizi looked confused, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask Yuan Li, "General Yuan, didn't you say that Daiguo's father and son killed each other, and the Daiguo prince defeated and captured his father?" ”

Yuan Li explained: "Some rumors that I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, when there is a fight between the upper and lower teeth, let alone the father and son? ”

"It's just that there was a dispute between father and son, and the noise was a little bigger, but now I see, they are all right." Yuan Li said with a smile: "And it seems that it will become more and more harmonious in the future." ”

Li Shizi looked at Tuoba Yilu and Tuoba Liuxiu, who were arranged separately, and was skeptical.

And Zhang Yu, who was sitting below them, didn't believe it at all.

Xiliang and Xianbei have always been in a competitive relationship, and they know each other very well, compared to Chengguo, he doesn't dare to say that he knows everything about what happened in Daiguo, but he is also inseparable.

What's more, the contradiction between Tuoba and his son has been going on for a long time, and two years earlier, his father asserted that if Tuoba Yilu did not change his original intention, he would still abolish the elder and establish the young, and the country would be in chaos.

At that time, if there is no natural disaster in Xiliang, he can take the opportunity to take back the country for the imperial court.

But looking at it now, it seems that Xiliang no longer needs to send troops.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yu also got up and went out of the queue, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a treasure to offer." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Hanzhang leaned forward with great interest, "What is it?" ”

The time for the palace banquet was short, so it was naturally impossible for the vassal kings and assassins to offer gifts one by one, so they were all directly received gift lists.

The treasure that was taken out separately must be very precious.

Zhang Yu presented a box, which was not very big, only a little bigger than a palm.

Lai Qing stepped forward to take it, opened the box facing him for Zhao Hanzhang, and handed it forward after confirming that there was no danger.

Laiqing was very confused, and he didn't think that this was a treasure at all, and this flower was not very good-looking.

A small clump of flowers as white as snow stayed quietly in the box.

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but stand up when he saw the contents of the box, "Cotton? ”

Zhang Yu smiled and said: "It is cotton, Your Majesty has been sending people to find this thing, Xiliang is fortunate to have God's help, last year he saved a caravan from the Western Regions in the desert, and there is this thing in the team." Xiliang sent people to follow the caravan back, and brought back five carts of cotton in May this year. ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked anxiously: "Are there seeds?" ”

Zhang Yu said: "Yes." ”

"The people of the Western Regions have very strict jurisdiction over seeds, and no one is allowed to take them out, but fortunately, it is cold in the Western Regions, and our people thought about sewing the seeds into their clothes and shoes, and then they brought them out."

Zhao Hanzhang was overjoyed and said happily: "Great goodness, everyone who follows the team will be rewarded, big reward." ”

Zhang Yu saw that she was happy, so he couldn't help but ask, "But I don't know how to use this thing, the craftsmen of Xiliang have tried it, and this cotton is not as good as our cotton thread." ”

He knew that it was used to make clothes, and the people of the caravans in the Western Regions said that cotton was mainly used for clothes in them.

Zhao Hanzhang pinched the ball of cotton and looked at it, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, "That's because you haven't found a way yet, and in addition to spinning into cloth, its main use is actually filling and compressing." ”

With cotton, there is a way to solve the problem of clothing and cold.

Zhao Hanzhang clenched the cotton in his hand, as if he was holding something.

Fu Tinghan asked, "How many seeds?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly looked at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu said proudly: "This time, the minister brought ten catties of good seeds. ”

"This ......" Zhao Hanzhang looked at Fu Tinghan uncertainly, "Even if it is sowing on demand, you need four or five catties of seeds per mu, right?" ”

Fu Tinghan nodded, "If you bring hairy seeds, you need it, and it's not enough." ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhang Yu, "How many cotton seeds did you bring back?" ”

Zhang Yu mentioned it in his heart and said honestly: "A total of fifteen catties, Xiliang left five catties." ”

So he felt that Xiliang's tribute of ten catties was already a lot, but it wasn't enough to listen to this meaning?

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Is the Western Regions far away?" ”

"After Shule, it will take about five days to walk westward, not far from Dawan Kingdom, is a newly built small country, called Kangguo."

Again, they transliterated it themselves.

Zhao Hanzhang knew it in her heart, she said: "I want to buy cotton seeds, whether it is a native or a foreigner, as long as I can get active seeds, before this time next year, a pound of cotton ten gold!" ”

The hundred officials gasped and came out one after another to admonish, "Your Majesty think twice." ”

Chang Ning hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty—"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "This money comes out of my private treasury. ”

Chang Ning choked, and was not happy, because her private treasury has always been used through the treasury, and she took out a lot of money to buy cotton seeds, so wouldn't the treasury have less money?

In the crowd, only Zhao Hu's eyes lit up, and when they finished shouting, they hurriedly asked, "Do you want to give cash?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "...... Give cash. ”

Zhao Hu's heart jumped, ten gold for one catty of seeds, if he could bring back a hundred catties, wouldn't he get a thousand gold, a thousand gold~~

See you tomorrow and wish you all a happy winter solstice, and the new year is coming
