If it's just to keep out the cold, you don't need cotton cloth at all, just fill the linen with cotton wool.

One of the great advantages of hemp is that it has sufficient yield, is easy to live, can harvest three crops a year, and is now the main clothing material, although rough, but durable.

Existence is reasonable, and it can be used by China for thousands of years, and it must have its rationality.

Nowadays, the pursuit is not comfort, but cold and shame.

"It's because I'm thinking badly." Li Yue patted his thigh, in the short term, the demand for cotton cloth is actually not large, and filling the linen cloth with cotton wool is enough to meet the current needs.

Everything is one step at a time.

Technology is formed by accumulation again and again, and thick accumulation can be thin.

In fact, it is not only the problem of spinning wheels, but also the problem of cotton seeds, which have been improved for hundreds of years in later generations.

It is not enough to rely on the Tiangong Academy, it requires the joint efforts of the entire Taixue, and the navy also needs to find better cotton seeds.

Liu Caoyi's face was proud, "Your Majesty really wants to spin cotton, and the minister can slowly improve it." ”

"Then slowly improve, come here, bring things in!"

"Yui!" Zhou Jixiang trotted.

In a few moments, seven chests of silver and gold were brought in.

"When you build a water-powered spinning wheel, I will do what I say, and the money will be rewarded to you first, and the credit will be recorded in the account books, and he will be rewarded one day." Li Yue has always been not nonsense, and he is directly real money.

The eyes of the surrounding craftsmen were straight, "Your Majesty Xie!" ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something important to report." Zheng Lin came to report.

"Prince?" Li Yue thought about it for a while, and it didn't seem to matter much recently.

Back in the East Hall, Li Jian waited for a long time.

"Father, Chang'an ordered to send a watch recently."

"Oh?" Li Yue glanced at Li Jian, and it seemed that there was no need for such fanfare.

When I opened it, I realized that things were not simple.

Chang'an ordered Du Chuan to participate in the Chaling Restaurant to occupy 212 private houses and kill two people.

Behind the Chaling Restaurant is naturally Li Yi.

"How could this happen?" Li Yue frowned, Li Yi is not a stupid person, he should not do anything to invade people's houses, or occupy more than 200 people.

It is clear that this is a counterattack by the prince's forces.

Li Jian is also very sensitive to power, and knows that once Li Yi gets the financial power, his power should not be underestimated.

"The inside story has not yet been clarified, and my brother has always been lenient, or someone has framed him." Li Jian helped Li Yi to speak.

"What do you think should be done?" Li Yue pushed the ball back.

"Erchen thought that he should investigate deeply, and his brother was innocent." Li Jian has a businesslike attitude.

It seems that Wang Meng's request for Xiu Mu was correct, and the undercurrent came so soon.

"Then investigate it, but it can't affect the Northern Expedition." Li Yue drew a red line.

Being in the core of power will not be infighting and intriguing, which will be a fatal weakness.

Which promising king in history is the White Lotus?

Who can stand in the court, which one is a simple person?

"The retainers know." Li Jian gave up.

Li Yue tapped his fingers, "I am ready to let Wu Huihao lead his troops to quell the rebellion in Ningguang Erzhou, what do you want?" ”

"The father is far-sighted, the south of the Yangtze River is hot and humid, the snakes and insects are swarming, and there is also a poisonous miasma, the imperial court labor expedition is inconvenient, and the Liang is about to use troops in the north, it is not suitable for the north and south to send troops at the same time, and it is possible to take advantage of Wu Huihaoqiang, killing three birds with one stone."

"You're right." Li Yue nodded happily, but the words suddenly changed, "How do you think I should settle your eldest brother?" ”

Li Jian's expression remained unchanged, "My father has his own decision, how dare my son say more?" ”

This statement shows the city government.

At this moment, a eunuch outside the hall reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness asks to see you." ”

"Oh? His eyes and ears are not slow. Li Yue was stunned.

The two sons are not simple, Li Jian has just made trouble here, and Li Yi heard the rumors.

This made Li Yue impressed by the strength of his two sons.

To tell the truth, the two of them don't fight or fight, and Li Yue really can't see the depth of this pool of water.

"The elder brother asks to see him, and the son-in-law will retire first."

"What do you do to quit? It's all a family, so it's better to confront each other face to face. Li Yue said with a smile.

"Yui." Li Jian's expression remained unchanged.

After a while, Li Yi quickly walked into the hall, and when he saw that Li Jian was also there, his expression was obviously stunned, but he quickly regained his composure and arched his hand, "Meet my father, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"No courtesy."

"Brother is very polite." Li Jian returned the favor.

After the salute, the hall suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was obviously a little awkward and tense.

Li Yi coughed a few times, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Yue broke the calm first.

"Erchen ......" Li Yi's eyes rolled, and his gaze crossed over Li Yue and Li Jian's faces, "Erchen is here to ask for guilt." ”

Li Yue was stunned, this was really unexpected, "What crime did you invite?" Did you touch someone's widow's bed, or did you steal someone else's food? ”

"Hey, how can your sons be so unbearable? Didn't the father let his sons run the Chaling Restaurant, as soon as they came out of the mountain, the year was unfavorable, several guests and the people of Chang'an had a dispute, and the two sides fought, two died on the people's side, and four died on the son's side, and eleven were injured. ”

"Four dead on your side?" Li Yue's gaze turned to Li Jian.

Can ordinary people have this combat power?

Ordinary people dare to go against Li Yi's people?

What he said was actually a secret reminder that the prince was powerful in Chang'an.

Li Jian sat in Chang'an with Wang Meng for two years, and Wang Meng's people were almost also the prince's people, so Chang'an was basically Li Jian's territory.

Li Yi really had some means, picked himself up in a few words, and pulled Li Jian into the water.

"There is no mention of this on the recital of the Chang'an Order." Li Jian said calmly.

"The prince didn't know that these four people were seriously injured and died when they were sent back, and the sons and ministers were not strict in controlling them, so they gave birth to this matter, and they are duty-bound, and they also ask their father to punish them." Li Yi knelt on one knee.

The temple fell silent again.

One has a righteous face, and the other has a gurgling eye.

Li Yue can see now that this matter should not be Li Jian's fault, he has no need for this at all, the bigger the trouble in Chang'an, the more passive he becomes.

On the contrary, it seems that Li Yi took the initiative to stir up trouble.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the people below make their own claims.

This is not the first time the two have clashed, and when they asked for the title of King Wu, they could see that Li Yi's power was not small.

Even if Li Yue doesn't support him, the battle for the heir is inevitable.

Hiding in the shadows is more dangerous.

Li Yue was not interested in figuring out the twists and turns, but if he investigated, he would definitely find out more things about the prince, and maybe Wang Meng would be involved.

At that time, everyone will be passive.

"At present, the northern expedition is imminent, the rebellion in the south continues, and it is not appropriate to renew the branches, and the criminal department will find out the perpetrator, and the opening of the Chaling restaurant in Chang'an will be postponed."

Li Yue glanced at Li Yi, he underestimated him a little, and as soon as he made a move, he rushed at Li Jian's heart, this kid is really a good hand at infighting, but unfortunately he didn't use it on the right path.
