Li Shimin was also distressed when he looked at these rare treasures, but there was no way, this was not his.

After Gaozu ascended the throne, he added some systems on the basis of the Sui system, stipulating the colors and styles of clothing and accessories of different grades.

What kind of clothes to wear for different occasions. What kind of accessories to wear, from head to toe, but there is no material to specify.

You have money and you can make a dress out of gold, but only if you dye it in a different color, not yellow.

Li Shimin estimated that this wedding dress was worth more than 100,000 yuan just because the materials were not counting silk, and the gold and silver were actually the least valuable.

For example, one of the high-grade agate is worth seven or eight thousand yuan. There are five or six here.

There are also pearls, fine jadeite. And jade. The more Li Shimin looks at it, the more heartache he feels.

instantly felt that this son was not close to him.

The fact that the queen and the fourth concubine personally made a wedding dress for Li Mengjiang was only circulated among a few people in the upper class, and did not spread to the people.

And Li Shen has stopped paying attention since he took out the things, and at this time Li Shen is thinking about another thing.

People can't do without food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the first clothes Li Shen felt that it was worth doing.

The first thing Li Shen thought of was to keep warm, and how could keeping warm leave cotton.

So Li Shen recruited Wang Hongfu.

"What does the prince command?" Wang Hongfu is really a little blessed now.

"Lao Wang, have you ever seen a white flower?"

"Of course I have seen it, there are many white flowers in the palace." Lao Wang's answer made Li Shen die on the spot.

Li Shen didn't know what the name of the cotton in this period was, but he knew where it was.

Li Shen thought about it for a long time and drew it on paper, and then asked Wang Hongfu to look at it,

Wang Hongfu watched for a long time, mainly because Li Shen's painting skills tend to be abstract.

"You see, this flower is white and soft. There is also a shell on the outside, and it is all snow-white if there is no other color. You think about it, whether you heard this thing. Li Shen began to explain again

"White squish, white squish. The prince is talking about white stacks. It is also called stacked flowers. Wang Hongfu said uncertainly

"White stacks? Bai Diezi, yes, it's called Bai Diezi" Li Shen finally remembered that cotton was called Bai Diezi in the Tang Dynasty, and the word cotton was coined in the Song Dynasty.

"Lord Wang, this villain has seen it, but it is relatively rare, and it is used for ornamentation. There should be some in the families of the nobles of Chang'an. ”

"Some of the nobles? Then why don't I have Ji Wangfu, am I not a nobleman? Why didn't I see it in the yard? "The nobles have a reason why I don't. I can't tell.

"Lord, although the white stacks are precious, they are still a little worse than the strange flowers and plants in the palace, so they were not planted at the beginning." At this time, the stone next to him whispered to Li Shen.

"Really?" Li Shen only moved his mouth about the layout of the entire palace, and then he didn't care,

Li Shen felt that his little artistic cell should not be taken out and embarrassed.

Li Shen has always believed in a sentence that it is best to leave professional things to professional people.

Li Shen felt a little embarrassed at the moment, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Lao Wang, you arrange a few people now, and immediately rush to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate."

Let's see if there are a lot of white stacks there, if there is, let people buy them, there should be all Gaochang's captives, and we will give them food in exchange.

You tell the local people that they can grow white stacks on a large scale, and I will not let them suffer as much as I want.

Lao Wang's matter is very important, tell the people sent out, and send someone back to report the news first. You know what? ”

Why did Li Shen know that there was cotton in Gaochang at this time? Very simply, Li Shen had a Xinjiang cotton incident in his previous life, which was very sensational.

In order to gain popularity, major Internet celebrities have posted a lot of short videos about Xinjiang cotton. Among them, there is a story about the origin of Xinjiang cotton.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Gaochang, Li Shimin placed the captives to grow cotton, and Gaochang was in the Turpan Basin of Xinjiang.

Li Shen estimated that the failure to reach the Central Plains should be due to the problem of planting technology and the lack of awareness of the role.

After the fall of Gaochang, it was changed to Xizhou and set up the Anxi Protectorate. That's really a sparsely populated place.

Suddenly, Li Shen thought of something again, Turpan grapes are famous. So he said:

"By the way, we also need to pay attention to grapes, so that the local people can plant more, so we will buy them at a high price. No, I'll have to find a way to get a piece of land over there. Wasteland. ”

Li Shen suddenly felt that if he planted it himself, he might be able to better drive the local people, because they were all the old departments of Gaochang in the past.

After Li Shen finished instructing, Wang Hongfu went out to arrange matters. And Li Shen fell into contemplation again, even if he bought all the cotton back, he could weave cloth or something at that time, and he didn't miss the cotton. When he was a child, he made quilts by spending money to find someone to play cotton.

At this time, the output is limited, and how to increase the output and reduce the cost is the key.

But Li Shen won't improve the loom? He's only seen it, and it's an approximation.

No, I have to think of a way, thinking of this, Li Shen went straight to the research institute out of the house.

Today's research institute has a small scale, and some of the ideas that Li Shen came up with are being studied, but because of the lack of knowledge base in physics and chemistry, he is blind and blindly explored.

Li Shen finally realized the meaning of the phrase "hating less when the book is used". Why didn't you study physical chemistry when you first started studying?

When he arrived at the research institute, Li Shen directly gathered everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now this king has issued a task, which is to increase the speed of the loom, who can do it, I can reward a thousand dollars, a hundred acres of fertile land.

I can give you a direction, to improve on our existing looms, you build a few more looms that you already have, and then start weaving.

In the process, you will find out which part of the waste of time, and you will be able to study which part. Don't be afraid to spend money, the sooner the better, what is lacking to find a housekeeper. ”

The reward given by Li Shen is indeed very exciting, and these people are only fifty times a year here. A thousand times is enough for them not to eat or drink for twenty years.

And Li Shen gave the direction again, which is called experimentation to make true knowledge.
