People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 226 Cotton Clothes and Salt Lake

Li Zheng grinned, "I said I'm not a money lover."

"Money has value, but morality is priceless." Li Chengqian said immediately: "A promise is worth a thousand dollars."

Compared to Li Tai, Li Chengqian was much more polite.

Li Zheng said to him: "Actually, this matter is easy to handle."

"Please enlighten me."

Li Chengqian saluted respectfully.

"Let's talk about the matters needed to deal with the snow disaster first, snow removal, resettlement of the people, and distribution of rice porridge. These are all indispensable. First of all, the people affected by the snow disaster must have enough food."

Li Chengqian nodded, "This is indeed what I want to do."

"The most important thing after the snow is to keep out the cold. It is still snowing now, and it will be the coldest when the snow stops."

Li Chengqian nodded again, "Gu also understands."

Li Zheng patted the table, took out a padded jacket and said: "I have a big business, I don't know if His Royal Highness wants to do it."

"Ah! Business?"

"The business of woolen cotton clothes." Li Zheng put the cotton clothes in front of Li Chengqian and said, "This cotton clothes are the best clothes to resist the cold. The most important thing is that they are not only warm but also very light. Not only that, they are also very beautiful. Low prices."

Li Chengqian looked at the padded clothes in front of him, could it be that Li Zheng made this with wool?
"His Royal Highness may wish to try it on."

Li Chengqian listened to Li Zheng's words and put on his cotton clothes.

"It's really warm."

"Then His Royal Highness, do you plan to buy shares?"

Li Zheng's smile became more and more weird.

Li Chengqian said: "The price of these cotton clothes should not be low."

"It's one thing whether it's expensive or not." Li Zheng continued to explain: "His Royal Highness can buy shares. Let's make money together and make a fortune. The first phase of shares is only [-] yuan. How about it?"

Li Chengqian looked troubled.

"Actually, there is another way..."

Li Shimin, who was sitting in the Ganlu Hall, listened to Li Junxian's report.

His two sons, Li Chengqian and Li Tai acted very quickly.

It's just that these two boys found Li Zheng immediately.

Li Shimin frowned.

Some were unexpected and some were caught off guard.

Li Junxian asked someone to carry a Quyuanli to Li Shimin, looking at Quyuanli in front of him, Li Shimin asked, "Is there anything special about this plow?"

"This is what His Royal Highness the King of Wei uses to remove snow." Li Junxian said, "Our spies reported that Li Zheng used an ordinary plow to transform it into this appearance, and it is very easy to plow the ground without using animals pull."

"Really?" Li Shimin tried it himself, and it really saved a lot of effort.

It's not that Li Shimin didn't think about farming when he first fought in the world.

In order to feel the hard work of farming and win the hearts of the people, Li Shimin recalled that he plowed an acre of land with a plow on his shoulders, and he was so tired that he was exhausted.

There are not many cattle in Guanzhong that can be used for farming, and most counties only have two or three cattle.

It is still used by each household in turn.

Cows are even more precious.

Li Shimin immediately thought of the value of Qu Yuanli.

It is worth a thousand gold. With this thing, the people of Datang can cultivate a few more acres of land and produce as much food.

From this point of view, Qingque's trip was not in vain.

Li Shimin stood there melancholy, thinking in his heart how smart Li Zheng is.

It seems that there is a lot of goods in his stomach that have not been poured out.

Li Junxian asked someone to bring another cotton padded jacket.

Li Shimin looked at the padded jacket and asked doubtfully, "What's the point of this?"

Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty, this is a kind of padded clothes to keep out the cold. His Royal Highness promised Li Zheng to help him sell [-] pieces of padded clothes."

Li Shimin felt the warmth when he put on this padded jacket.

After taking off a few coats, Li Shimin put on this padded jacket again, feeling much more comfortable and relaxed.

In order to keep out the cold, I wore three layers of clothes on the inside and three layers on the outside, and it was extremely uncomfortable to press on my body.

Now that I put on this padded jacket, it is not only much warmer.

And it's a lot easier.

After walking out of Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin buttoned his neckline as well.

Even the wind can't get into the neck, maybe the clothes are a little too small and tight, but the cold wind doesn't feel so cold.

Returning to Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin said sullenly, "You said the crown prince will sell [-] cotton clothes to Li Zheng?"

"Yes." Li Junxian replied.

"The dignified prince is reduced to selling clothes for Li Zheng?"

Li Junxian went on to say: "Your Majesty, Li Zheng also set a rule for His Royal Highness, that a padded jacket will be sold to women and children for thirty yuan, and then sold to adult men."

Thirty cash for a padded jacket, which is indeed very cheap.

Ordinary people can afford it as long as they have a little savings.

Listen to Li Junxian's report word by word.

Li Tai was responsible for clearing the snow and clearing the roads. With the help of Qu Yuanli, many villages whose roads were blocked by heavy snow were able to come out to take refuge.

Worst of all is the collapse of houses.

From this point of view, only the houses in Jingyang have not been crushed.

Li Shimin has also seen the house in Jingyang, which is very strong.

If it is said that Li is planning ahead, he can predict snow disasters, just like the heavy rain back then.

I looked at Li Zhenggao again in my heart.

Although the cotton clothes are very comfortable, Li Shimin's mood is not much better, so he asked the dignified prince to sell clothes.

This is too low.

But thinking about it again, these two things, Quyuanli and cotton clothes, are really beneficial to the country and the people.

It is indeed a little unethical for the prince to sell clothes.

If it was him, he would definitely be embarrassed.

All in all, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

"Call Fang Xuanling here."

"Here."

Half an hour later, Fang Xuanling came to Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Fang Xuanling: "The current crown prince is actually selling clothes outside and doing business!"

Merchant is a cheap business, except for Li Zheng, a man who earns a lot of money, no one will pay attention to merchants.

It is indeed out of style for the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty to sell clothes.

Fang Xuanling knew the reason of this incident long ago in Zhongshu Province.

Bowing to salute, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince only sells clothes for [-] yuan a piece, and many of them are even given to poor families, and they are sold for Li Zheng's help. To be precise, the crown prince is not selling clothes. , It is in the control of snow disasters that we will make such a bad move."

"is it?"

Li Shimin's old face was dark, and Wang Ding, who was standing aside, could notice that there was actually an imperceptible smile on the corner of His Majesty's mouth.

He waved Fang Xuanling back.

Li Shimin thought about this padded jacket again.

He took out a dagger and cut a corner, and found the original grid-like outline inside the clothes. It turned out that there were cloth bags, opened the cloth bags and looked, it turned out that there were wool.

When I first saw why Li Zheng bought wool, now Li Shimin understood that it was Li Zheng who wanted to make such cotton clothes.

It seems that this kid was planning for this snow disaster a long time ago.
