Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 511 Surprise, a force
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help showing a look of interest. Could it be that Yafu came up with something new.

The emperor was very interested in the new things of Yafu, but it was a pity that Yafu regarded those things as treasures.

"Take it apart and see."

The emperor didn't hesitate to speak out, and the words were obviously a little impatient.

When the wooden box was opened, a trace of astonishment appeared on the faces of the people present.

Because the inside seems to be clothes, although there are some differences from ordinary clothes, it can still be judged vaguely.

You must know that there is no shortage of such things in the palace, especially Li Shimin, who is an emperor, but there are people who specialize in making clothes.

Similarly, even the maids and guards, etc., these people's costumes are also exquisite.

So when he saw the clothes, he was naturally surprised at the first moment, but soon Li Shimin frowned, as if he remembered something.

"Wait, is this the cotton coat that Yafu mentioned?"

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shimin's faint voice sounded, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but have a hint of anticipation on his face.

If it was ordinary clothes, he would not be like this, but the cotton clothes are just like what Yafu said before.

Without any hesitation, Li Shimin reached out and took out one, and put it on his body.

Although the style is different from ordinary clothing, it is not difficult to understand. In a short time, Li Shimin has already understood the trick of this button.

Although it is autumn now, the weather has started to get a little cooler. The clothes worn by the emperor before were only two pieces of clothes, which were almost enough to maintain body temperature.

But after adding an extra cotton coat, not a little while had passed, and the sweat on the emperor's forehead had already begun to appear.

It's just that Li Shimin's face showed a hint of joy, because the effect of the cotton coat is obviously much stronger than he imagined.

"If it's in winter, the effect will definitely be better."

Li Shimin immediately thought silently, he has naturally seen the value of this cotton by now.

Even Li Shimin didn't expect that cotton could make such a padded coat, but he was more excited inside.

The effect of the cotton coat on the soldiers at the border is not as simple as one plus one, if there is a cotton coat.

Then there will not be so many soldiers frostbitten or even sleeping in the ice and snow at the border every year.

"Send someone to tell Yafu that I am very satisfied with these things."

After a long time, Li Shimin took off his cotton coat and said to Li Junxian, the excitement could not be concealed in his words.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Junxian replied respectfully, although the commander of the hundred knights still has a lot of doubts.

I don't understand why this majesty is so obsessed with a piece of clothing, but I still dare not have any hesitation.

The main reason is that Li Junxian didn't know about cotton, even if he heard this emperor mention it occasionally, he would probably forget it soon.

The reason is very simple, that is, Li Shimin himself has almost forgotten about this matter.

If it wasn't for this finished product of Shu'an, then Li Shimin probably wouldn't have remembered that there was such a thing.

"It seems that I also planted a lot of cotton on the farm."

After Li Junxian left Du Zhou, Li Shimin finally remembered what happened before and whispered softly.

If it didn't matter before, then now Li Shimin regards cotton as a treasure.

Although he didn't know the yield, Li Shimin didn't think the things that could be grown from the ground were expensive.

Now the cotton seeds are the limiting factor. If there are enough seeds, then in the coming year, many cotton clothes will definitely be produced.

"Go and see the farm!"

Soon Li Shimin came up with an idea, wanting to see how the cotton he had grown before.

After all, he is also very curious about this cotton, how it became the cotton coat in his hand.

In the academy, Li Junxian made a personal trip this time.

If ordinary people get the evaluation of the emperor, they might want to publicize it everywhere.

It's a pity that this is Shu An, but Shu An didn't have much emotion on his face, and even shook his head a little bit in his heart.

There are some deficiencies in this verbal praise alone, but the emperor must have plans.

"This time, Duke Anxuan has done another thing that will last for thousands of years."

On the side, Li Junxian said with a hint of admiration on his face, following His Majesty's words, and adding the face-to-face test.

Li Junxian naturally understands the value of cotton clothes, especially in winter, the value is even higher.

You must know that if Duke Anxuan wants it, then it can become a party's property, and there is no need to take it out.

It is not impossible to even be as rich as an enemy, but An Xuangong did not do this. Instead, he gave half of the cotton seeds to His Majesty.

That shows that Duke Anxuan didn't intend to do this. At this time, Li Junxian had a high admiration for this Duke Anxuan in his heart.

Of course, there are still many sighs, as expected, Duke Anxuan lived up to the name of a sage.

"Jun Xian is too famous, even if I don't do it, someone will do it."

There was a hint of gentleness on Shu An's face, and he didn't care about Li Junxian's admiration at all.

"Duke Anxuan doesn't need to be humble. Even if someone does it, he doesn't know when it will be. But these people in the Tang Dynasty can't afford to wait."

Li Junxian shook his head and retorted, apparently this commander of the Hundred Riders also had a heart of compassion.

Maybe it's because he has had a lot of contact, so even Li Junxian has a kind of sympathy for the common people.

But he is only the commander of Baiqi, and he is powerless to help those common people, and how many people can he help alone.

In the past two years, Baiqi has received a lot of information. When it comes to winter, how many people do not know how many people have no life because of the weather.

It's just that the Daozhou didn't report to Chang'an, which still can't hide the number collected by Baiqi.

His Majesty Su Ri'an also knew about this matter, but he also didn't have much energy and so much money, so he gave priority to supplying border soldiers.

With this cotton padded coat now, if everyone has one, the possibility of the common people spending the winter will be much higher.

Facing Li Junxian's Youxin words, Shu An just smiled slightly, this era can be described as full of disasters.

What he can do is to do more. For example, this cotton will definitely be sold at a low price.

It may earn a lot of benefits, but it is definitely within the range of the common people. Of course, this matter needs to be joined by Li Shimin.

With the help of Li Shimin, it is possible to grow cotton on a large scale, otherwise it would be too slow to rely on Shufu alone.
