Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 230 The Unorthodox Li Yuan
"Your Majesty, cotton is not suitable for large-scale planting. Firstly, there are not many seeds, and secondly, the common people don't know how to plant it. Therefore, what I mean is to try it first. I plan to open up dozens of acres of land next year, so I will try it first. , if it is feasible, it can be planted on a large scale in the next year, and Tokiomi will personally guide those people."

Starting next year, many people will grow cotton, so Qin Tian will not be able to make money like crazy.

So he does not follow.

But Li Yuan took care of him, saying: "Si Nong Temple grows cotton every year, and everyone in Si Nong Temple knows how to grow it. It still needs to be tested, so it's settled."

Qin Tian wanted to cry but had no tears, he was really screwed today.

It's fine to be cheated with a cotton coat, but in the end, his own source of income was also cut off.

Faced with this situation, Qin Tian had no choice but to sigh softly.

However, Qin Tian was not in a hurry to leave. Seeing that Qin Tian was not going, Li Yuan asked curiously, "Is there anything else Qin Aiqing wants to do?"

Qin Tian said: "My lord, it's cold outside, I don't wear enough clothes."

He wanted to take his coat back, but Li Yuan refused to take off his coat, saying: "Xiao Dezi, bring Qin Aiqing some clothes."

Xiao Dezi responded with a smile, and brought Qin Tian a mink fur coat. It stands to reason that this thing is much more expensive than a coat, but in terms of comfort, it cannot be compared with a coat at all.

Helpless, Qin Tian could only stand up and say goodbye.

In the early morning of the next day, the hall was surprisingly cold.

A group of ministers stood tremblingly in the main hall, everyone looked at each other, waiting for Li Yuan to come out.

"The Holy One is here!"

An eunuch yelled, followed by the officials saluting, and when the officials raised their heads after saluting, they almost spit out their saliva.

Because this morning, Li Yuan wore a dress they had never seen before. This dress was ugly and could not be compared with the dragon robe.

In such a morning, Li Yuan did not wear such a dress as a dragon robe, which made them feel very funny and strange.

But at this moment, a speech officer suddenly stood up and yelled at Li Yuan: "My lord, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you should pay attention to your words, but...but what are you wearing today?"

As soon as the speech officer finished speaking, another speech officer stood up immediately: "My lord, this is a sign of the country's ruin..."

The officials stood up one after another, and they all wanted to criticize Li Yuan, not only criticizing Li Yuan, but also citing some examples of other subjugated emperors, saying who used silver chopsticks, and then the country was subjugated or something.

For a time, the entire imperial court was full of criticism.

Sitting on it, Li Yuan was a little dumbfounded.

Didn't he wear the overcoat Qin Tian gave him because it was too cold in the hall? As for raising this trivial matter to the level of subjugation?

These officials are really getting more and more outrageous.

But in the face of these angry officials, Li Yuan has nothing to do. The officials have the power to impeach officials, and they also have the power to supervise him, the emperor.

If he dared to teach these officials a lesson, the historian would immediately write this down, and in the future history, Li Yuan would definitely become an imperfect emperor.

Very distressed, now Li Yuan is very distressed, he even suddenly understood some of Qin Tian's feelings yesterday.

The speaker was still muttering, but the other officials were silent about this situation, which was regarded as tacit consent.

Li Yuan frowned, and then suddenly shouted: "Enough!"

The whole hall suddenly fell silent, and the chill became thicker.

Everyone couldn't help shivering.

And just when everyone was terrified, Li Yuan said: "Do you think what I'm wearing is an ordinary dress? Do you think I don't pay attention to words and expressions today?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they still didn't speak. They felt that Li Yuan just didn't pay attention to words and expressions. This situation is self-evident.

Seeing everyone like this, Li Yuan became more angry: "No, this is a gift from me to the people of Tang Dynasty, a gift that will never freeze to death again in the cold winter."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned, Li Jiancheng rolled his eyes, and hurried forward and said: "Father is absolutely right."

Li Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, a little relieved, the prince was willing to attach himself to him at the critical moment.

"Okay, if I don't explain it clearly to you, you definitely don't understand. Listen, this dress is called a coat, and the inside is made of cotton..."

Li Yuan talked about Qin Tianjin offering coats and planting cotton so that the common people could also wear cotton clothes. After he said this, the officials suddenly realized.

"Master Qin is really capable."

"Who says it's not? I've seen cotton in Sinong Temple. Before, I always thought it was tasteless and useless."

"I also think, but I didn't expect Qin Tian to take it home and make it into a coat. It's amazing, amazing."

"Well, if I can wear a coat, it won't be cold in winter."

"........."

Everyone muttered, but they all praised how powerful Qin Tian was. Sitting on it, Li Yuan suddenly felt a little lonely and lost.

"Cough cough..."

Li Yuan coughed twice, and the whole hall suddenly fell silent again, and at this moment, the officials looked at each other, and then suddenly shouted to Li Yuan: "My sage is wise, I am a blessing to the people of the Tang Dynasty..."

These officials finally came to their senses, Li Yuan nodded, and shouted: "Where is Secretary Si Nongsi?"

Zhao You stood up quickly: "The minister is here."

"The rest of Sinong Temple is cotton seeds, how many acres can be planted?"

"Hui Sheng said that it can plant twenty or thirty acres."

Hearing twenty or thirty mu, Li Yuan frowned slightly, and said, "Why is there only so much?"

"Many of them were taken away by Qin Tian."

As soon as Zhao You finished speaking, an official stood up and said, "Damn it, what kind of place does Qin Tian take Sinong Temple for? Why did he take away the things of Sinong Temple? Your Majesty, Qin must be severely punished." sky."

This person belonged to Li Jiancheng. He saw the time to impeach Qin Tian and wanted to curry favor with Li Jiancheng. However, Li Jiancheng stood aside, but his expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart at this time.

As soon as the official finished speaking, Zhao You said, "This matter was agreed between the minister and Qin Tian. He taught Sinong Temple the technology of the vegetable greenhouse, and I asked him to get some things from the warehouse. Cotton is what Mr. Qin chose."

Hearing that Qin Tian exchanged cotton with vegetable greenhouse technology, everyone was shocked.

The vegetable greenhouse is simply a cornucopia in winter, which can make him a steady stream of money, and the amount of money made makes people doubt his life.

But he traded such a precious thing for some cotton?
Is this Qin Tian stupid, or is he stupid?
"My lord, if Qin Tian hadn't taken away the cotton, we wouldn't have the cotton clothes we have now. Speaking of which, I'd like to thank Qin Tian. Moreover, with the technology of vegetable greenhouses, it will be much easier for us in the north to eat green vegetables." If people can afford it, they will be healthy..."
