my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 272
Immediately, Zhao Ying nodded very naturally.

"That's right, there is such a thing. It's a good thing that Liu Ji sent someone from the Western Regions. I thought I would show it to my father when it was finished, but I didn't expect my mother to find it first..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.

"But Mother has a good eye. This cotton is really a good thing. If you really think about it, whether it is the current silkworm farming or spinning hemp, its effect is far from being comparable to this cotton..."

First Emperor:……

Nestern: ...

Shi Lu: ...

The three of them couldn't help turning their heads to look at Zhao Ying.

Your Highness, the eldest grandson, do you know what you just said!
"Better than raising silkworms and spinning hemp?"

The First Emperor looked at his eldest grandson with some uncertainty.

Although he already had great trust in this grandson, this news still made him feel unbelievable.Since ancient times, who in the Central Plains did not rely on farming and weaving?
What do you think is "weaving"?
Sangma!

"Kaixuan Noodle Garden, talk about wine and mulberry."

Even in the Tang Dynasty, mulberry was still synonymous with farm work, let alone in this era?Looking at the surprised and expectant eyes of the three people, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing, and nodded with certainty.

"Yes, and much better!"

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go and see—"

The First Emperor couldn't wait to hear Zhao Ying's detailed explanation, so he got up and walked outside.

Something better than sangma is a proper national weapon, and it can even directly change the production layout of the entire country.

……

Tianxiang Pavilion.

Old man Meng Wu was drinking with old general Wang Jian leisurely.

Ever since several grandsons of his family took off with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and became rookies in the army standing side by side with Wang Li, old man Meng Wu liked to ask old general Wang Jian to have a drink with him whenever he had nothing to do.

When you are older, you are also idle when you are idle, let's talk about the children's generation together!

Old General Wang Jian was clearly aware of this old man's careful thinking about showing off to him, and he didn't even bother to talk to him.But the crux of the problem is that sometimes, it's not a matter of willingness to take care of it.

You ignore him, he ignores you!
You can't really turn people away...

So, in the end, old general Wang Jian also lay flat.

What's the use of your grandson?
I also have a granddaughter—

Therefore, when Meng Wu came to the door, he asked people to prepare tea, set up the chessboard, and began to abuse the dishes. If someone invited him to drink, he would gladly accept the appointment, eat, drink, and hate.

Speaking of which, at his age, it's not easy to find someone who can talk. Meng Wu, an old man, has nothing wrong with him except he has been fighting with him all his life.

The two people who had been arguing for real and fake in front of the first emperor all their lives suddenly let go of all their burdens at this age, and became a pair of little friends who often get together to drink tea and chat.

"... Now, we old guys are getting old, and it's all up to the younger generation to support us..."

Meng Wu took a sip of the good tea, pretending to be calm.

"Just yesterday, His Majesty sent some cans of high-quality tea leaves from the palace - it is said that it is because of my useless grandsons who made some small contributions outside the past few days, which is not worth the price. It's not worth mentioning, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I still bother His Majesty..."

Mr. Wang Jian didn't even flirt with him.

"It's only recently that people started to reward you..."

"Yeah, how do you know..."

The movements of Meng Wu's hands froze, and he looked suspiciously at Wang Jian where the old god was.

Wang Jianmi glanced at him sideways.

"you guess……"

Meng Wu: ...

If you like to talk or not, you will be annoyed by this old riddler!

Not to mention pulling it down, anyway, His Majesty rewarding things is a good thing!
Wang Jian couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, this old guy, I don't know if he is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.However, it's good to have a reputation for ramming goods sometimes.Just like this old Mongolian man now, with nothing to worry about, how nice...

Meng Wuming didn't understand His Majesty's thoughts, he didn't know, but he knew it clearly.

That is clearly the compliment that His Majesty gave to Meng Wu, an old man, who has been messing around with him every day recently.

It seems that His Majesty's expectations for his grandson-in-law have become more and more obvious!

However, he also understood the difficulty of Emperor Shihuang.

Even if His Majesty is arbitrarily arbitrarily determined to surpass the princes and establish the eldest grandson of the emperor, he will definitely face unimaginable pressure from the ruling and opposition parties.The Meng family, Wang family, and Mengxibai clan even intentionally or unintentionally scattered the three thousand members of the emperor's eldest grandson into Longxi and Shangjun. His Royal Highness Changsun made arrangements silently.

This also includes pulling the Meng family and the Wang family together as much as possible.

Meng Wu was too lazy to talk to the old man Wang Jian, and turned his head to look out the window. Suddenly his eyes froze, and he looked at the end of the street with some surprise.

"Old man Wang, look, is that His Majesty and the eldest grandson of the emperor..."

Wang Jian couldn't help looking out curiously.

I saw two rows of guards in the palace guarding the left and right. In the middle, the first emperor and the eldest grandson of the emperor were galloping on horses, followed by Zhi Su Nei Shi Teng, Shao Fu Shi Lu, and a big man carrying a Tianlong Breaking City Halberd. .

"Could it be that something happened..."

Wang Jian and Meng Wu couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Looking in this direction, it seems to be the eldest son's mansion..."

After Meng Wu finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand.

"Go, go and have a look, His Royal Highness must have come up with something really good!"

Get up and leave after speaking.

At this moment, the old man's mind became easy again——

Old General Wang Jian couldn't help but slandered in his heart, then hesitated for a while, put down his teacup, and followed.What the old man Meng Wu said is right. In this case, nine times out of ten, it is because something great happened to His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson.

"His Majesty--"

Seeing the first emperor coming on horseback, outside the eldest son's mansion, the soldiers standing with halberds saluted loudly.

The First Emperor nodded slightly and strode in.

Zhao Ying paused, smiled and waved to the left and right soldiers.

"It's all right, get up—"

Naturally, it was not the first time that the first emperor came to the mansion, but he usually did it lightly and simply. He had never been as formal as he is now. Therefore, after hearing the news, Mi Ji, Wang Nan and others put down their work and walked quickly to greet him. out.

"My daughter-in-law, Mi Ji, welcome Your Majesty..."

The First Emperor stopped his hurried steps, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Excuse me—where is the cotton, I'll come over and have a look..."

Seeing that the first emperor came to see Mian in person with great fanfare, Mi Ji didn't dare to delay and got out of the way.

"It's in the room, Your Majesty, please move..."

Then he gave a slight salute to Zhi Su Nei Shi Teng and Shaofu Shi Lu.

"My lords, please—"

Nei Shi Teng and Shi Lu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and returned the salute with respectful expressions.

"I have seen Madam—"

While speaking, Emperor Shihuang had strode into the room.His gaze bypassed the servants who were kneeling aside, and he immediately looked at Concubine Zheng who was kneeling on the ground, sewing a quilt, and the bag of snow-white cotton wadding beside Concubine Zheng.

"That's what you call cotton—"

Concubine Zheng smiled and stood up.

"That's right, it's really a good thing—Your Majesty, come and touch it..."

The first emperor squatted down and touched the quilt that was about to be completed, his eyes lit up!
This is a quilt with a silk quilt, the outside is brocade, the inside is plain silk, and the middle is filled with snow-white cotton. It feels soft and delicate to the touch, and it feels much more comfortable than the quilt covered in the palace.

"Your Majesty, try this coat again—"

Seeing the look on Shihuang's face, he knew that the quilt had obviously aroused Shihuang's interest, so he couldn't help smiling and walked to the side, picking up the cotton coat that had just been made in a hurry.

"What kind of coat is this? It looks a little weird..."

Although she was disgusted, she still opened her arms very cooperatively, allowing Concubine Zheng to stand on her tiptoes and hold up the coat and put it on her body.As soon as he put on his body, he felt the difference in this coat.

light.

Comfortable.

With a faint fragrance.

Just a simple feeling, and you know that the thermal performance of this thing is not bad when you wear it on your body.Although I dare not say that it can compare with my own furs, but at least it is better than ordinary people's jackets stuffed with straw and old silk, I don't know how many times,

"it is good!"

The First Emperor couldn't help blurting out, and for a while, he was a little reluctant to take it off.

"This thing, how much does it yield per mu..."

"It is said that one mu of land can weigh three to four hundred catties..."

First Emperor:! ! ! ! ! !
Zhi Su Nei Shi Teng and Shaofu Shi Lu couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Three to four hundred catties per mu!

This thing is actually so productive.

At this moment, Shi Lu suddenly found several pedal spinning wheels and the half-spinning mallets beside them.

"This thing can actually spin like a cocoon!"

For a moment, he rushed over in a state of forgetfulness, squatted on the ground, and carefully looked at the half-spun cotton thread in front of him.Compared with silk, it is much thicker, but compared with its output, that little flaw is almost negligible.

This is the real national treasure.

"His Majesty--"

Shi Lu was so excited that his voice trembled slightly, but at this moment, among the people in the room, no one cared about his gaffe, and everyone was shocked by the prospect presented by the cotton.

The appearance of this thing is almost a subversive change for Daqin today.

"When can this thing be planted—"

The first emperor couldn't help but shine his eyes, and turned his head to look at his eldest grandson who was smiling and looking at him and others.

"March and April—"

Hearing that he could not keep up with this winter's cold protection, Emperor Shihuang couldn't help showing a look of regret on his face, but he quickly restrained his emotions. Even if it can only be planted next year, it would be a great thing.

He looked at Zhisu Neishi at the side, and ordered in a deep voice.

"After you go back, you should do everything to promote cotton planting immediately, and you must not miss tomorrow's spring plowing..."

"promise!"

Zhi Su Nei Shi Teng took the order in a deep voice.

The First Emperor turned his head again and looked at Zhao Ying who was at the side.

"Wait until next spring, how many seeds of this kind of cotton can you collect..."

Zhao Ying pondered for a while, and said seriously.

"This thing was introduced to the Western Regions from the Peacock Dynasty. Even in the Western Regions, it is not widely planted. Even if we try our best to collect it, I am afraid that it will not be able to satisfy the planting promotion next year-but I will let Liu Ji is trying his best to collect this thing in the Western Regions..."

When Emperor Shi Huang heard the words, he couldn't help but nodded, and said suddenly.

"Liu Ji was able to discover the extraordinaryness of this thing, and it is also a credit - you can promote him to the title later..."

The female relatives hadn't heard the meaning, but Zhi Suai Shi Teng and Shao Fu Shi Lu couldn't help but looked at each other, and then silently lowered their heads.

Meng Wu and the old general Wang Jian, who had just walked near the gate of the courtyard, paused subconsciously.

Meng Wu looked at the sky with his eyes, but his beard was trembling, and he couldn't hide his excitement at all, while Wang Jian regretted coming to join in the fun.

At such an old age, it's not good to spend a few days of leisure, why not just join in the fun——

It's over, this time I have completely put myself in it!

Guessing and hearing are two different things.

It may be difficult to pretend to be stupid this time.

Zhao Ying had already experienced his father's coquettish operation once, and he didn't respond, so he nodded very naturally.

"Okay, then let's get promoted to a rank first, and after he has conquered the Western Regions, let's discuss meritorious deeds together—"

There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and if you can't subdue a small country, just upgrade to one level. Waiting for those from the Western Regions to come, wouldn't it be unsealable? If you really get to that point, you will really hurt them.

Now, his mind and structure are no longer comparable to his own when he just crossed over.

If I can succeed, then Liu Ji and Xiang Yu can both be capable ministers and generals under my command. If I can't save Daqin and change the historical destiny of Daqin, then leaving Xiang Yu in the northern border forever and leaving Liu Bang to clean up the mess is also my own. Inheritance of incense for future generations.

I can't, I am worthless, and I will ruin Han Jiaerlang's most glorious moment.

The First Emperor nodded, more and more satisfied with his grandson's handling.

He subconsciously looked around at the granddaughters-in-law who were standing respectfully aside, and then looked at the eldest grandson who was not breathing.

This dog looks very smart and capable, but how can it be used to give birth to a child? It's just so useless!

I can't argue with it.

He looked at Concubine Zheng at the side, and gave a slight wink, Concubine Zheng immediately understood.

Although she didn't know why her husband was so anxious about his grandson having a baby, he was still very concerned about holding his great grandson.She stood up with a smile and waved to Wang Nan, Li Shu and others.

"Your Majesty is here to deal with government affairs, let's go to the backyard to talk—"

Concubine Zheng greeted the female officer, took Mi Ji, followed her to the backyard, and preached scriptures to several granddaughters-in-law.

When passing by the gate of the courtyard, he happened to meet Meng Wu and old general Wang Jian who came hand in hand.Seeing Concubine Zheng coming with her family members, the two couldn't help retreating to both sides of the road and bowed to salute.

Concubine Zheng returned the gift with a smile, while Wang Nan stepped forward excitedly and hugged his elder father's arm, and said with surprise on his face.

"Father, why are you here today..."
