Immediately, Zhao Ying nodded very naturally.

"Yes, there is such a thing, it is a good thing that Liu Ji sent from the Western Regions, I originally thought that I would wait for the finished product to be made and then show it to my father, but I didn't expect my eldest mother to find out first......

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.

"But the eldest mother is really a good eye, this cotton is really a good thing, if you really talk about it, whether it is the current silkworm raising, or hemp spinning, its role is far from being comparable to this cotton......

First Emperor: ......

Nesten: ......

Shi Lu: ......

The three of them couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Zhao Ying.

Your Royal Highness, you know what you just said!

"Better than silkworm farming and hemp spinning?"

The First Emperor looked at his eldest grandson with some uncertainty.

Although he has great trust in this grandson, this news still makes him feel unbelievable. Since ancient times, who has not relied on farming and weaving for the people of the Central Plains?

What do you think is "weaving"?

Mulberry!

"Open the noodle field and talk about the wine."

Even in the Tang Dynasty, mulberry hemp was still synonymous with peasant work, let alone in this era? Looking at the surprised and expectant little eyes of the three of them, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile dumbly and nodded very affirmatively.

"Yes, and much better!"

"So what are you waiting for, let's go, go see—"

The First Emperor couldn't wait to hear what Zhao Ying said, so he got up and walked out directly.

Something better than mulberry and hemp, that is, a proper national weapon, and can even directly change the production layout of the entire country.

……

Tianxiang Pavilion.

The old man Mengwu was drinking with the old general Wang Jian slowly.

Since several of his grandsons took off with His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson and became a rookie in the army standing side by side with Wang Li, the old man Mengwu likes to call the old general Wang Jian to have a drink together.

When you're old, you're idle, let's talk about the children!

Regarding the careful thinking of this old man to show off himself, the old general Wang Jian is naturally clear, and he is too lazy to take care of him. But the crux of the matter is that sometimes, it's not a matter of whether you want to deal with it.

You ignore him, he takes care of you!

You can't really shut people out......

Therefore, later, the old general Wang Jian also lay flat.

What's the use of your grandson?

I also have a granddaughter—

Therefore, when Meng Wu came to the door, he asked people to prepare tea, set up the chessboard, and began to abuse the vegetables.

Speaking of which, at his age, it is not easy to find someone who can speak, and there is nothing bad about Mengwu, an old thing, except for fighting with himself for a lifetime.

Two people who have been fighting for truth and falsehood in front of the First Emperor all their lives, at this age, suddenly unloaded all their burdens and became a pair of friends who often get together to drink tea and chat.

“…… Now, we old guys are old, and it's all up to the children to save face for us......"

Meng Wu took a sip of the best tea, and pretended to show off calmly.

"Just yesterday, Your Majesty also asked someone to send a few cans of fine tea from the palace - it is said that it is because of my few unsuccessful grandsons, who made a small contribution outside a few days ago, which is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, ashamed, ashamed, ashamed, even to worry about Your Majesty......"

Old man Wang Jian didn't even glance at him.

"It's only recently that people have started to be rewarded......

"yes-ah, how do you know......"

The movements of Meng Wu's hand froze, and he looked at Wang Jian who was there with some suspicion.

Wang Jianqian glanced at him with slanted eyes.

"Guess ......"

Meng Wu: ......

If you love to talk about it, you will be annoyed by this old riddler!

Not to mention pulling down, anyway, it is a good thing that His Majesty rewards things!

Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this old thing, I don't know if it's really stupid, or pretending to be stupid. However, it is sometimes good to have a reputation for ramming. Just like this old man is now, his heart is unhindered, how good is it......

Meng Wuming didn't understand His Majesty's thoughts, he didn't know, but he knew it clearly.

That is clearly His Majesty's praise for Meng Wu, an old man, who has been looking for himself to mess around every day recently.

It seems that His Majesty's expectations for his grandson-in-law have become more and more obvious!

However, he also understood the difficulties of the First Emperor.

Crossing the princes, and establishing the emperor's eldest grandson, even if His Majesty is arbitrary, he will definitely face unimaginable pressure from the government and the opposition. The Meng family, the Wang family, and the Mengxi Bai clan, even intentionally or unintentionally scattered the 3,000 teams under the emperor's eldest grandson into Longxi and Shangjun, and invested resources in Hexi County at any cost in the face of the criticism of the government and the opposition, all of which were silently laid out for His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson.

This also includes bringing the Meng family and the Wang family together as much as possible.

Meng Wu didn't bother to take care of Wang Qian, the old horseman, turned his head to look out the window, and suddenly his eyes froze, and he looked at the end of the street in some surprise.

"Wang Lao Pifu, look, is that Your Majesty and the Emperor's eldest grandson......"

Wang Jian couldn't help but look at it curiously.

I saw the guards in the two columns of palaces guarding the left and right, and the first emperor and the eldest grandson of the emperor in the middle were galloping on horses, followed by Shi Teng and Shi Lu of Shaofu, as well as a big man carrying the halberd of the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City.

"Isn't there something going on......"

Wang Jian and Meng Wu couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Looking at this direction, it seems to be the ...... of the eldest son's mansion"

After Meng Wu finished speaking, he directly put down the teacup in his hand.

"Let's go, let's see, it must be His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun who has made something really good!"

Get up and leave.

At this moment, this old thing's mind is good again-

The old general Wang Jian couldn't help but slander in his heart, then hesitated slightly, put down the teacup, and followed. Meng Wu, the old horseman, is right, in this case, nine times out of ten, there is something very good on the side of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun.

"Your Majesty—"

Seeing the first emperor coming on horseback, outside the mansion of the eldest son, the armor soldier standing with a halberd saluted violently.

The First Emperor nodded slightly and strode in.

Zhao Ying paused in his footsteps, smiled and waved his hand at the left and right armor soldiers.

"It's all right, get up—"

The first emperor naturally did not come to the mansion for the first time, but he was generally a light car, and he had never been as formal as now, so after hearing the news, Mi Ji and Wang Nan and others put down their work and hurried out.

"Daughter-in-law Mi Ji, welcome Your Majesty ......"

The First Emperor stopped his hurried steps, a gentle smile on his face.

"Excuse me—where is the cotton, I'll come and see ......"

Seeing that the First Emperor actually came to see the cotton in person with great fanfare, Mi Ji did not dare to delay and get out of the way.

"It's in the room, please move ...... Your Majesty"

Then he bowed slightly.

"Two adults, please—"

Nei Shi Ten and Shi Lu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and returned the salute with respectful expressions.

"The minister has seen Madame—"

As he spoke, the First Emperor had already strode into the room. looked around a few people kneeling aside, and at a glance looked at Concubine Zheng who was kneeling on the ground, sewing quilts, and the snow-white cotton wool beside Concubine Zheng.

"That's what you call cotton—"

Concubine Zheng stood up with a smile.

"Yes, what a good thing - Your Majesty, you come and touch ......"

The First Emperor squatted down and touched the quilt that was about to be completed, and his eyes couldn't help but light up!

This is a quilt with a silk quilt, the outside is brocade, the inside is plain silk, and the middle is filled with snow-white cotton.

"Your Majesty will try this coat again-"

Seeing the look on the face of the First Emperor, he knew that this quilt had obviously aroused the interest of the First Emperor, so he couldn't help but smile and walked to the side and picked up the cotton coat that had just been made in a hurry.

"What kind of coat is this, it looks a little weird......"

Although he was disgusted, he still opened his arms very cooperatively, and let Concubine Zheng stand on tiptoe and hold his coat to drape him on his body. It was just that as soon as he put on his body, he felt the difference in this coat.

Light.

Comfortable.

With a faint fragrance.

Just a simple feeling, you know that this thing is worn on the body, and the warmth performance must not be much worse. Although I dare not say that it can be compared with my own fur fur, but at least it is better than the ordinary people's own jackets stuffed with some straw and shabby silk wool I don't know how many times.

"Good!"

The First Emperor couldn't help but blurt out, and for a while, he was a little reluctant to take it off.

"How much ...... yield per mu of this thing?"

"It is said that one acre of land can have three or four hundred catties ......"

First Emperor: !!!!!

Shi Teng and Shaofu Shi Lu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The yield per mu is three or four hundred catties!

It's so prolific.

At this moment, Shi Lu suddenly found several pedal spinning wheels on the side, as well as half-spun mallets next to him.

"This thing can even be spun like a silkworm cocoon!"

He threw himself over for a moment, squatting on the ground, and carefully examining the half-spun cotton thread in front of him. Compared with silk, it is much thicker, but compared with its yield, that little flaw is almost negligible.

This is the real important weapon of the country.

"Your Majesty—"

Shi Lu was so excited that his voice trembled slightly, but at this moment, no one in the room cared about his gaffe, and everyone was shocked by the prospect shown by this cotton.

The appearance of this thing is almost a subversive change for Daqin today.

"When will this thing be planted—"

The First Emperor couldn't help but have his eyes shining, and turned his head to look at the eldest grandson who was looking at him and the others with a smile.

"March and April—"

Hearing that he couldn't keep up with the cold protection this winter, the First Emperor's face couldn't help but show a trace of regret, but he quickly restrained his emotions, even if it could only be planted next year, it would be a great thing.

He looked at Zhisu Neishi on the side and commanded in a deep voice.

"After you go back, you should immediately do a good job of promoting the planting of cotton, and you must not miss tomorrow's spring ploughing ......"

"No!"

Shi Teng received the order in a deep voice.

The First Emperor turned his head again and looked at Zhao Ying on the side.

"Wait until the beginning of spring next year, how many seeds of this cotton can you collect......"

Zhao Ying pondered for a moment and said seriously.

"This thing was introduced to the Western Regions from the Peacock Dynasty, and now even in the Western Regions, the cultivation is not very extensive, even if it is collected with all its might, I am afraid it will not be able to meet the planting promotion next year - however, I will let Liu Ji collect this thing with all his strength in the Western Regions......"

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, and suddenly said.

"Liu Ji can discover the extraordinariness of this thing, and it can be regarded as a great contribution-you can go back and give him a knighthood......"

The ladies and dependents hadn't heard the meaning yet, but Zhisu Nei Shi Teng and Shaofu Shi Lu couldn't help but glance at each other, and then lowered their heads silently.

Meng Wu and the old general Wang Qian, who had just walked near the courtyard gate, couldn't help but subconsciously pause.

Meng Wu looked at the sky with his eyes, but his beard trembled, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart at all, while Wang Jian regretted coming over to join in the fun.

It's so old, it's not good to have a few days of leisure, it's okay to make a fuss about it-

It's over the calf, and this time it's completely put yourself in!

Guessing and hearing are two different things.

I'm afraid it's hard to pretend to be stupid this time.

Zhao Ying had already experienced a commotion from his eldest father, and he didn't react, so he nodded very naturally.

"Okay, then let's upgrade to the next level first, and when he finishes subduing the Western Regions, let's reward him for his merits——"

There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and they can't subdue a small country, so they will be upgraded to a level, so when those in the Western Regions come, wouldn't it be unsealable - if it really comes to that point, it will really harm that goods.

Now, his mind and pattern are no longer comparable to himself when he first crossed the moment.

If he can succeed, then Liu Ji and Xiang Yu can be capable ministers and generals for their subordinates, if they can't save Daqin and change the historical fate of Daqin, then leave Xiang Yu Yongzhen in the north of Xinjiang and leave Liu Bang to clean up the mess, which can be regarded as the inheritance of incense left by himself to future generations.

I can't, I have no interest, and I also ruined the most glorious moment of the Han family.

The First Emperor nodded, becoming more and more satisfied with the scale of his grandson's treatment.

He subconsciously looked around at the several granddaughters-in-law who were standing respectfully on the side, and then looked at the eldest grandson who was not breathing.

This dog thing looks very smart and capable, how can it be put on giving birth to a child, it is so unsuccessful!

Angry and indisputable.

He looked at Concubine Zheng on the side and glanced slightly, and Concubine Zheng suddenly understood.

Although she doesn't know why her husband is so anxious about her eldest grandson having a child, she is still very concerned about holding her grandson. She stood up with a smile and beckoned to Wang Nan, Li Shu and the others.

"Your Majesty is here to handle government affairs, let's go to the backyard and talk-"

Concubine Zheng greeted the female official, took Ji Ji, followed her to the backyard, and preached to several granddaughters-in-law.

When passing by the courtyard gate, I happened to meet Meng Wu and the old general Wang Jian who came together. When the two saw Concubine Zheng coming over with their daughters, they couldn't help but retreat to both sides of the road and bowed.

Concubine Zheng returned the salute with a smile, and Wang Nan stepped forward excitedly and hugged her father's arm, and said with a look of surprise.

"Father, why are you free to come over today......
