Zhang Song's face was difficult, but he still nodded solemnly and said: "Song must let people look for it after he goes back, although it is difficult to enter Nanban, there are still people who trade with Hanmin, and they will definitely be able to do it." ”

The territory of Yizhou in the Han Dynasty was very large, not only in the Chongqing area of Sichuan, but also in Hanzhong in the north, Yunnan in the south, and even Myanmar in the Western Han Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Burma seceded, but it was still a vassal country, Yuan Xi remembered that one thing was very important, so his words were a little out of the box, and he suddenly talked about southern Xinjiang from northern Xinjiang.

Because during the Han Dynasty, cotton actually entered China, and two roads entered, one was the northern route, from Afghanistan to Xinjiang.

The other is the southern route, which enters Yunnan from Burma, but no one knows about it in the Han region, and only a small amount is cultivated in the southwest and northwest extremes.

Yunnan is the earliest use of cotton weaving, the name is called weaving shells, Xinjiang did not find the role of cotton, so that in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's palace had cotton, but as an ornamental plant.

"Thank you, Brother Ziqiao, this thing Xi calls cotton, and it has a strong ability to keep out the cold, but Nanban obviously hasn't discovered its role yet, this thing is a product of the Guishan Yue Clan, and Xi also knew about it by chance."

"Keeping out the cold!"

At this time, not only Zhang Song, Bing Yuan and Xu Shu all stood up, staring at Yuan Xi with burning eyes and asking, "Is the lord serious?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "There is no lie, if it is planted in a large area, the people will be saved from freezing to death, otherwise why would Xi take this thing regardless of the price." ”

"Good!"

Bing Yuan shouted, became serious and said, "Brother Ziqiao, please!" This matter is done so that the old man owes you a favor, and the people of the world owe you a favor. ”

Zhang Song also knew the importance of cotton this time, and hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to say that the people of the world, if there is no general to tell you, no one will know that this thing is magical, this merit should be the general's, how dare Song take the lead." ”

Immediately, Yuan Xi took action, asked someone to take a pen and paper, and drew a pattern of cotton on the spot, this thing he didn't know in his previous life, thanks to those foreign slaves slandering Xinjiang cotton, so he paid attention to consulting information, but he didn't expect to use it here.

From seedlings to adult plants, and then to flowers, he drew them in detail and handed them to Zhang Song.

After Zhang Song solemnly took it, he reached out and took out a pair of silk silk from his arms, handed it to Yuan Xi and said: "This thing is dedicated to the general, if the general enters Yizhou in the future, he can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Topographic map of Yizhou?"

Before Yuan Xi could unfold Xu Shu exclaimed, Bing Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at the waiters majestically, and said in a solemn tone: "Who dares to say anything about this matter, punish the three clans!" ”

Xu Shu reacted at this time, he was too excited, it seemed that he was still too young.

Bing Yuan is an old man, who has lived in seclusion in Liaodong for more than ten years, he and Yuan Shao are contemporaries, and his mind is extremely calm, which is the precipitation of the years, and he can't learn.

"Did you hear what Changshi said? The matter is muted. ”

Yuan Xi also looked back, then turned his face to Zhang Song and said: "Ziqiao, remember, if things are not secret, there will be disasters, if there is something to be done, how can you get it, you must pay attention in the future, even in your own home, you must be cautious in everything." ”

Zhang Song's impulsive personality is true, otherwise he would not have written a secret letter with Liu Bei to be known by his brother, and was finally denounced by his own brother Zhang Su and died at the hands of Liu Zhang.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi wanted to remind him that Zhang Song was a very talented person, but he was ugly, uglier than Pang Tong.

And he was not calm enough, Pang Tong died in Los Angeles because he was not calm, Zhang Song was not calm, Liu Bei obviously wanted to retreat, and he thought that Liu Bei had given up entering Sichuan.

couldn't wait to write a letter to persuade him, but his brother found out that he had collaborated with the enemy and denounced him, and he also died.

Don't think about it carefully, Liu Bei already has only one way to enter Sichuan, otherwise he will still send people under the fence, trapped in Jingnan, and if he doesn't break the situation, he will perish sooner or later, how can he be willing to withdraw from Yizhou.

Now seeing that Yuan Xi was admonishing himself very seriously, Zhang Song nodded with emotion, but he was a little puzzled, why he said that he should be cautious at home.

Just thinking about whether to ask, Yuan Xi had already explained in depth: "Zi Qiaomo wants to think that Xi is alarmist, think about it carefully, Brother Ru Junjiao is more inclined to Liu Yizhou, what would you do if you knew that you would give me a picture?" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Song woke up at this time, remembering his brother's temperament, he was really not sure that he would not kill his relatives in righteousness.

The Zhang family is a big family in Shuzhong, and both brothers are important ministers of Liu Zhang, and Zhang Ren of the side branch also holds heavy troops and garrisons important places.

Originally, they were the most supportive of Liu Zhang's father and son, but Liu Yan made a coma in his later years, first slept with Zhang Lu's mother, gave Hanzhong to Zhang Lu, and became an actual independent state.

Then he reused Dongzhou soldiers to suppress the Shu people, and finally Liu Yan overstepped and completely regarded Yizhou as a private territory, and even used the ceremonial tools that only the emperor could use.

Although Liu Zhang did not continue to expand after succeeding to the throne, he did not change his father's use.

In addition, Liu Zhang did not have his father's prestige and means, which disappointed the Yizhou family and even outsiders in Dongzhou.

Like Fa Zheng, he is not from Yizhou, but he can't see what Liu Zhang did, where is this like a master who can keep the foundation in troubled times,

Therefore, there are many dissenting people like Zhang Song in Yizhou, but there are also loyal ministers who stubbornly adhere to the two masters, and Zhang Su is one of them.

Two days later, Zhang Song went back to Yizhou, and Yuan Xi didn't talk about Yizhou for the time being, after all, the two places are not connected, and it is too early to seek it.

"Uncle, you have to personally supervise this matter, at least you can't leave until you succeed, you see?"

Zhen Yao, who is an uncle again, is in a very good mood now, and Yuan Xi has handed over such an important matter to himself, it seems that he made the right choice at the beginning.

Hearing Yuan Xi's inquiring words, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the subordinates understand the importance of this matter, which is related to Hebei's income and the great cause of the lord, and the subordinates will not be sloppy for a moment." ”

Yuan Xi laughed, patted his arm and said, "What a great cause, it is the thousands of generations of the Han Dynasty, don't talk nonsense, don't you see Yuan Zhidu's black face?" ”

Xu Shu rolled his eyes and watched the pair of eldest brothers and brother-in-law interacting, ignoring them.

It's been so long, in fact, whether it's Xu Shu, Xun Chen, Cui Zhouping and others, they can all see that Yuan Xi doesn't want to rescue Liu Xie to reshape the Han at all.

It's just that everyone chose to pretend not to know, and the thriving forces in Hebei gave them a kind of joy in showing what they had learned in their lives, and the pride of saving the people from fire and water.

If you choose a showdown, who knows if you can meet such a master and find such a vibrant force.

Therefore, everyone pretended not to know, as long as Yuan Xi did not make it public, then the days would be like this, to put it bluntly, it was an ostrich mentality.

Of course, Liu Xie's actions did make everyone unable to trust whether he would unload the mill and kill the donkey.
