The utensils around Yang Dui are not so much tools as it is a simple machine. It is basically a door-shaped rack, with a wooden barrel in the middle, a serrated board underneath, and a shaking handrail next to it, which looks quite weird.

"You just said that this was specially made for cotton, and now it's time to pick cotton..." Li Xiu said softly at this time. When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately slapped his head, "I understand, this is a flower ginning machine, which is used to remove cotton seeds!"

When the cotton was just picked, the cotton seeds were all inside. If you want to spin and weave cloth, you must remove the seeds. At this time, you have to use a ginning machine. Li Xiu had seen this thing in his previous life, but the ginning machine in later life was all machines, with iron shells outside and very complex structure, which was completely different from the original ginning machine in front of you, so he didn't recognize it at the beginning.

"The prince-consort is really amazing. He recognized the function of this thing at once. We just made it and had not named it yet. However, the name of the ginning machine is quite suitable. Let's name this thing in the future!" Although Yang Dui had known that Li Xiu was knowledgeable for a long time, he couldn't help but express a surprised expression at this time.

"Haha, when I wanted to introduce cotton, I thought about the problem of seed removal. I just didn't have time to think about it carefully. I didn't expect you to have already made the ginning machine!" Li Xiu praised again at this time.

"We have just made this ginning machine. I don't know if it works. The cotton can be picked. I have asked someone to pick some of it. I will know after I come back and test it!" Yang Dui said embarrassedly at this time. The principle of the ginning machine is feasible, but the actual effect can be determined.

Li Xiu was also very interested in the ginning machine. He sent someone to urge the people who picked cotton. After a while, he saw an official coming back with several large bags of cotton. Yang Du and the others immediately started to work hard. After putting the seed cotton, someone immediately began to shake the ginning machine. As the wooden barrel rolled, he immediately took away strands of cotton, and the cotton seeds were also left behind.

"It really worked!" Yang Dui and several craftsmen shouted in surprise when they saw the cotton seeds being taken off. The principle of the ginning mill was thought out with him and several craftsmen. Now that he saw that his ideas were confirmed, he was naturally very excited.

Li Xiu was also very happy at this time, but after carefully observing the ginning machine, he suddenly frowned and then said, "The principle of this ginning machine is feasible, but some places still need to be improved. You see, its efficiency is too low. Such a little cotton has not yet been removed from seeds."

"The prince consort is right. This ginning machine does have a lot of room for improvement. Speaking of this matter, it still needs the help of the prince consort!" Yang Dui nodded when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then asked Li Xiu for help. When it comes to making tools, there is indeed no one in the Tang Dynasty who can be right of Li Xiu.

"Haha, I just happened to be idle. Let's improve this ginning machine together. There are also textile tools. In the past, they used to use hemp or silk to make textile materials. Now if they are used to use cotton, some tools also need to be improved. We will try to weave some cotton cloth this year and show it to His Majesty and the others. In the future, we can produce cotton cloth ourselves, and we don't have to buy those rough Gaochang cotton cloths at high prices!" Li Xiu also laughed at this time.

For some time, Li Xiu stayed in the Ministry of Agriculture and studied improved cotton ginning and textile machines with Yang Du and others. Although the cotton harvest was not much, it was enough for them to use for experimentation. However, just that morning, when Li Xiu was about to go to the Ministry of Agriculture, someone suddenly came to visit.

"Why are you here?" Li Xiu couldn't help frowning when he saw the two people walking into the living room. He saw the two people coming in, a man and a woman, Misia and Alda. Although they were old acquaintances of Li Xiu, Li Xiu knew some news, so he didn't want to see them now.

"Your Highness Yan, I wonder if you already know that Bahra has received the reward from the Emperor of Tang and is about to leave for Persia?" Missia seemed very angry at this time and asked Li Xiu loudly as soon as she came in.

"So what if you know, so what if you don't know. I've said a long time ago that everything is up to Your Majesty himself!" Li Xiu asked with a deep face at this time.

Li Shimin had made a choice and decided to hand over the supplies supported by the Tang Dynasty to Bahra. There was also a handwritten letter from him, ready to send to the Byzantine emperor for peace. After all, compared with Persian nobles like Missia, the real power behind Bahra is more worthy of win over. Of course, Bahra himself showed much better talents than Missia.

"But..." Misia originally wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Alda next to her and signaled her not to speak again, so as not to really anger Li Xiu. Then she went forward and walked forward, "Duke Yan, we are here today, actually wanting to confirm with His Highness the Duke. Is there any room for recovery in this matter?"

Compared to Misia's willfulness, Alda was very calm, and Li Xiu got along well with him at the beginning. At this time, when he saw his begging expression, Li Xiu's face couldn't help but ease. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Arda, since you have asked this, I will tell the truth. Since His Majesty the Emperor has made a decision, there is no possibility of change, so I think you should follow the trend!"

As soon as Li Xiu said, Arda's face turned pale immediately. Missia behind him trembled all over, and tears were filled with tears in her big blue eyes. The Tang Dynasty chose to support Bahra, which was equivalent to breaking their last glimmer of hope. Even if Persia could defeat the attack of the cannibals, the royal family, such as the kings, would not be able to take over Persia again in the future.

"Thank you, Your Highness, we understand!" Although Arda was desperate, he had not forgotten to thank Li Xiu at this time. After saying that, he turned around and prepared to take the lost Missia away. After all, there was no point in staying here.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Misia suddenly broke out from despair, then strode to Li Xiu, and bent her legs and knelt down for Li Xiu, "Your Highness, I heard that you are a famous wise man in the Tang Dynasty. Can you tell us what we should do next?"
