There will be brave men under the great reward.

Pressure is the driving force, and it didn't take ten days for the Tiangong Institute to slightly improve the loom and weave cotton cloth.

The process is a little rough, but the reason is still the quality of the cotton.

Li Yue touched this small piece of cotton cloth, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, this small piece of cotton cloth was a great leap forward in Chinese civilization.

It's still the same old saying, first solve the problem of having and not solving, and then slowly improve it.

There has always been no shortage of smart people in Huaxia.

"The loom should be improved again, so that ordinary people can afford to use it." Li Yue pointed to the huge pedal textile lane.

"This ...... A kind of trivial matter, and still use the Tiangong Academy to shoot? Liu Caozhi's eyes widened.

Li Yue found that his eyes were big and small, and his eyeballs were bulging, not deliberately wide, but with his ugly face, it really looked weird, and it was no wonder that Li Yue's first impression was not very good.

However, this guy has real skills, and he was promoted by the Ministry of Industry a few years ago.

Ten thousand enemies have also been improved by him, but they have a bad temper, a stubborn personality, and a very poor popularity in the Tiangong Academy.

Li Yuexue stared at him with wide eyes, "This is not a trivial matter, but a major event in China for thousands of generations, it is best not to use manpower, water power, if it is done, your Liu Caozhi's name will be recorded in the annals of history!" ”

According to the latest estimate of the population of the Ministry of Households, after the unification of the north and the south, the population of Daliang should be about 27 million.

If no one has at least one piece of clothing, that's 27 million pieces!

There are four seasons in a year, and you can't just wear one piece of clothing in autumn, winter and spring in the north.

The economic stakes are greater than the sky.

Coupled with quilts and cotton clothes, the economy of the girder can take off directly.

This is still only the need of Middle-earth, the Western Regions, the middle of the river, the plateau, the steppe, and even the Byzantium, Sassanid Persia, etc. further west.

The logic behind governing the country is the economy, and there is a set of economic chains behind everything in heaven and earth.

Therefore, the rise of modern civilization began with cotton weaving, and the textile industry promoted the industrial revolution.

However, industrial civilization requires a huge resource base and a population market of 100 million, which is difficult to achieve in terms of the current beam.

But it is definitely enough to give Liang a leap forward in national strength.

"By the way, you can make cotton wool and fill it into clothes to make cotton clothes and quilts for cold protection." Li Yue shook the cotton cloth, as if he saw a glorious and prosperous world beckoning to him.

"Can this thing keep out the cold?" Liu Caozhi said with his big eyes on the left.

Li Yue frowned, this guy shouldn't be called Liu Caozhi, he should be called Liu Caozhi, "Do you have any opinions about me?" Specifically pick bones in eggs? I let you do it, you just do it, don't be verbose. ”

"No...... Don't dare to ......" Liu Caozhi bowed and ran away.

The making of cotton clothes is simpler than that of a loom, and in a day and a half, things come out.

It's just that the style is really ugly, and it looks like it's made out in a hurry, even if it's ugly, it's long sleeves on one side and short sleeves on the other.

Li Yue suspected that Liu Caozhi was deliberately giving himself eye medicine.

But then again, although the style is ugly, the body is worn to ensure warmth, particularly thick, comprehensive in this era of the use of clothing, take off is a small quilt, especially suitable for soldiers to march and fight.

The thing came out, and Li Yue breathed a long sigh of relief.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are not trivial matters for hundreds of millions of Li people, and clothing ranks first, which shows its importance.

Li Yue remembered that the people he saw on his trip were all ragged and tattered, how could they have the appearance of a "prosperous age"?

At present, the world has just been unified, and the war in the south has not stopped, and it is not feasible to force the people to plant.

There is also not much food in the treasury.

Fortunately, the imperial court has a lot of tuntian in its hands, which can be planted on a large scale in Longyou, Hehuang, and Gaochang.

"In fact, Your Majesty can implement, the field is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades, the inferior field, you can try to plant it, money silk money, cloth is money, the north has been bitter cold for a long time, this thing must be liked by the people." Lu Qing arched.

Eating and cloning is the lowest need of people.

Nowadays, the problem of eating has been alleviated, and the problem of clothing and heating has become increasingly prominent.

Li Yueran said, "Then try to plant it in Xiazhou first, and then implement it nationwide." ”

Cotton needs plenty of sunlight to grow well.

The newly set up of Xiazhou is just right, it is sparsely populated, and a large number of tuntian fields have not been cultivated, just to grow cotton.

Li Yue specially sent someone to Longyou to ask Zhou Lian's opinion.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lian did not agree with the promotion now, saying that a batch of excellent cotton seeds had been selected, and the results would be seen this autumn, so Li Yue would wait.

Zhou Lian is impeccable both in person and in his dealings.

He said that if there is Better Cotton this fall, there will definitely be, absolutely, otherwise it would not have been opened.

Li Yue gladly accepted his suggestion, waited for the time being, and asked the Tiangong Institute to increase the research and development of new textile machines, and by the way, make the clothes a little more beautiful.

While waiting, it was summer in a blink of an eye, and the entire south, Jiangning and Guangjiao, under Li Jian's offensive, recovered all, and also swept away the southern Zhuyi, moving more than 200,000 people to Huainan and Jingzhou.

Huainan and Jingzhou have also become a melting pot, where the various clans supervise each other and merge with each other, and no one clan can dominate the family.

Li Jian also went to the court and asked for a reward for meritorious soldiers.

Huan Yi, Deng Yao, Liu Gaozhi, Zhuge Kan, Xie Xuan, Huan Shiqian, etc. are all listed, as well as a large number of middle and lower-level officers.

These people were rewarded, and they will naturally be the prince's old department in the future.

However, such a big matter, the Ministry of War did not dare to decide on its own, and handed it over to Wang Meng, who handed it over to Li Yue.

"The prince has grown up, and I can rest assured in the future." Li Yue breathed a long sigh of relief.

With these teams, not to mention that other people want to move the prince, even Li Yue's idea of changing the prince also needs to be carefully weighed.

"His Royal Highness is all in the hands of the Jiangdong Army, it is better to cut its old and weak, select its elite, reorganize it into the Southern Army, transfer it back to Luozhong, and change the Black Cloud Army to the Northern Army, as for the reward, the prince can nominate and ask for a performance, but His Majesty still needs to personally receive the rewarded generals!" Wang Meng arched his hand.

This is modeled after the Han Dynasty's north-south military system.

The composition of the army is complex, including the Beifu Army and the Jingzhou Army, which can fight well, as well as the miscellaneous armies, righteous servants, and troops of various states and counties.

Rearmament is imperative.

Li Yue also heard another meaning of Wang Meng, and transferred the southern army back to the vicinity of Luoyang, which also became the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, which was easy to control, so as not to be left behind, and only knew the prince but not the Emperor of Daliang.

Over time, there are more problems.

The crown prince can have a past, but he can't have an army of nearly 100,000 in his hands, otherwise the imperial power will be threatened.

The emperor should be self-respecting, which is the foundation of the stability of the beam.

"The strategy of the scene, the old man seeks the country!" Li Yue's heart was moved.

Although Wang Meng is Li Jian's father-in-law, he still stands on his side after all, thinking about himself and Liang Sheji.
