Yan Lide, the Minister of Works, arrived first, and he was not very clear about cotton field planting, but he did know more about cotton field planting. "There are plantings in Guazhou, Xizhou and Liangzhou, but most of them were purchased by merchants in the Western Regions to weave white stacks. That is, cotton cloth, the woven cloth is softer than linen, but I have never seen anyone stuff cotton into clothes."

Yan Lide seemed quite prepared and could quote classics and describe the history of cotton planting. "...and it is recorded in "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty", "The Book of Zhou", "The Book of Sui Dynasty", "The History of the Northern History", and "The History of the Southern History". It is also called "white folding zi", that is, cotton or cotton cloth."

"It's just that it's difficult to remove cotton seeds, so it's difficult to weave them into cloth. However, according to Weichen's opinion, Lord Fang said, stuffing cotton into his clothes to keep warm is a good note." Yan Lide looked at Uncle Li and said.

Uncle Li turned his face to look at me. What do I do? Removing seeds? This is as simple as bragging for me. I stood up and said to Uncle Li with high spirits: "My father-in-law, the method of removing seeds can be solved by the son-in-law."

"Sir, don't talk nonsense. I have been growing cotton flowers in China for more than a thousand years. But no one can come up with a solution. This is not..." Yan Lide interrupted Uncle Li with his words: "Wait, let me see if I can keep warm in my clothes with cotton plugs."

Soon, five kilograms of white cotton like snow were spread out on the floor of Qifeng Pavilion. I explained to several imperial tailors invited to Datang to carefully how to fill it. After they looked at the cotton, rubbed it with their fingers, pressed it and nodded, "Xiao Di thinks it can be done well, even if there is more, it's okay."

"Five jin...you, did I hear it right?" It was so powerful that my scalp was sweating. I looked up at the sky and it was already summer. The temperature was at least twenty degrees, so we were all wearing single clothes. If we really put five jin of cotton on it, it would be strange if we didn't get prickly heat.

The oldest imperial tailor of the Tang Dynasty turned around after hearing my words and looked at me curiously. "Sir, aren't you only five pounds?"

"Well, yes, it's only five kilograms. OK, let's do it like that." I looked at the low couch sitting next to me and sipped tea and watched Li on the side of the ground.

My uncle gritted his teeth. In order to increase the credibility of the items, I decided not to stop these royal tailors from being enthusiastic. I just guided them to spread these unseeded cotton evenly on the clothes, boiling~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~wen~

Zhao Kun became the first to try on the silk fabric floor cotton coat. The time was too short. The distribution of cotton was a bit uneven, and the needle corners were not sewn well, so Zhao Kun looked very strange after putting it on. The indoor temperature was also about twenty degrees, and then wrapped it with a layer of thick ground cotton. There was no incense stick on Zhao Kun's forehead. Oil and sweat were already coming out of the way: "Hot, Your Majesty, this thing is very hot. Can you detach it first?"

"It's so hot?" Uncle Li had already walked up to him, reached out and rubbed it, and walked around Zhao Kun for two more times before signaling him to take off the cotton coat. Sure enough, Zhao Kun took off the cotton coat. Sweat was already soaked in his chest and back.

Uncle Li nodded happily: "Yes, it seems that this thing can really keep warm. There are too few fur and other cold-proof objects. If all the soldiers from the northern border of the Tang Dynasty could wear this thing, why not be afraid of the wind and snow in the northern region?"

"Longyou, the northern part of Guanzhong has always been sparsely populated, with drought in the area and difficult to produce grain. Some places cannot even grow grain at all, but this thing is different. It likes drought. If we can plant a large amount of land in Longyou..." I said to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything. However, I clearly saw the greedy green light in Uncle Li's eyes and a cute expression. Welcome to 101du.net

After Uncle Li's order, I came to Honglu Temple and met with two negotiating assistants in my area, one was Liu Hao, the territory of Honglu Temple, and the other was He Zheng, the territory of the host and guest department. Speaking of which, the diplomatic system of the Tang Dynasty was a bit complicated, mainly based on the Jiuqing system.

The two departments of the Land, Master and Guest Department of the Di Honglu Temple are in charge of the land, Master and Guest Department, Master and Guest Department is in charge of diplomatic government affairs, and the Honglu Temple is in charge of diplomatic affairs. The relevant institutions also exercise diplomatic management responsibilities from different angles and aspects. For this major event, Uncle Li gave instructions to both the Honglu Temple and the Master and Guest Department send officials to serve as our accompaniment personnel.

Uncle Li did not set any underground line for me, which means he was relieved that I and these two adults would not betray the interests of the Tang Empire and turn to Xue Yantuo, a barbaric and uncivilized nation.

But since Uncle Li trusts us so much, we must resolutely and successfully complete this task assigned to us by the country. The first thing is that anything, any creature, is regarded as a commodity by me, is a commodity,

I must let these officials from the Honglu Temple and the host and guest office fully understand what diplomacy is, what is weak countries without diplomacy, and what is local negotiation between countries.

"First point, it is interests, between countries. Only eternal interests cannot exist, there is no real peace, and there is no morality to argue with countries. I hope that everyone here must remember this." I took a sip of tea, and there was no way, I had to educate them in advance. First of all, most people here have a proud and conquered mentality of people with virtue. They have no personal interests in it. They only know that the Tang Dynasty is strong and the military power is unparalleled in the world. But they do not understand that the war in diplomacy is no less easy than the real life and death fight. To win the greatest interests for their own countries, and to find ways to protect their vested and existing interests, these are the things that every diplomat should do.

"You think that if the vassal states come to pay tribute to us a piece of rag, I should give back to the same weight of gold, silver and jewelry, so that I can show that the Tang Dynasty is powerful and prosperous? No, this is nonsense. Do you think that those vassal states will feel that our Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful and invincible? Tell you, they will be happy. Similarly, if you are a landlord, you give your property and land to the poor people around you, give your house to them, and give your wives and concubines to them to enjoy, then they will indeed be grateful to you, but are you still a landlord? What will the landlords think of you? You stand in the position of the landlord, and then think about it from the position of the people who are given alms. Well, look, you all feel incredible. Do you think my landlords are stupid, right? Isn't this similar to your strategy for foreign land?...

Only derogatory words can interpret this behavior: stupid, ignorant, stupid thoughts, tell you. The power of the Tang Dynasty is not something that others say with their mouths, but it is the people of the Tang Dynasty who work hard to create it themselves." I stood on the couch and roared, raised my fingers and pointed at these nerds, and spitted everywhere.

Yes, why am I not excited? Why am I not excited? After seeing the detailed list of land tributes and gifts with vassal states, I had to be angry. I had to be excited. These idiots were simply selling land, such as Gaochang, which was a hundred good horses, a thousand cows, a thousand sheep, and twenty white cloth. These things combined were only ten thousand yuan, but what did our Tang Dynasty give back? They gave back gold, silver and jadeware worth ten thousand yuan, worth more than 20,000 yuan, and even

There are also exquisite porcelain, antiques, and books, and the total value of the total is as high as 100,000 jin? How can I not be angry? Ten thousand jin is enough to make the people of a small county town live a blessed life. You must know that the price of rice in the Tang Dynasty is only sold for five cents per bucket of rice, which means that you can buy twenty stones of rice in a single coin. A stone in the Tang Dynasty is about 60 kilograms, which is equivalent to 1,200 kilograms. According to the age of my place in later generations, one kilogram of rice is one yuan, seventy cents, and one kilogram of rice is equivalent to more than 4,000 yuan in purchasing power.

If we calculate it in this way, what is the equivalent of 100,000 yuan? No need to forget it, just think about it and you can draw a conclusion. This is simply a terrible astronomical number. It is a conscienceless person who is a prodigal son, who is even more prodigal than me, a playboy. I have seen a prodigal place, but I have never seen a more prodigal place than this. Damn it!

I didn't scold them, but I looked at them. They were just being harmed by the Confucianism and poison. I could see from their expressions that these nerds were disappointed. Of course, there were also some who were enlightened. I didn't expect all local officials to understand my geographical ideas and implement my strategies, but I first had to plant the small seed of national interests in their hearts.

"I tell you. Since Your Majesty asked me to be fully responsible for this negotiation, then I hope you officials can learn some lessons from it and understand some truths. We are part of the Tang Dynasty, so we should think about our country, rather than digging our own country and feeding them to those wandering wolves at home! That's all today, I hope everyone can go back and think about it and understand what I said today." I made a summary, there is still time, and there are still three days, and in three days, I want them to understand.
