"Oh, look, I'm so happy that I'm so confused. In two days, it will be your wedding ceremony, Liu Lang, but I only care about being happy, so I choose to disturb you at this time, damn it!" Duan Lun immediately snapped He patted his forehead, with regret on his face, but then said to Li Yin, "Liu Lang, you have helped me so much, just tell me if you have anything, don't ask for anything!"

Seeing Duan Lun's willingness to agree, the smile on Li Yin's face became wider, and he said, "Hey, it's actually not a big deal, the main reason is that my nephew is naturally afraid of the cold, and it's easy to get sick when I get cold at night, so I need to cover it with a thick quilt. , I heard that the Ministry of Industry has received a lot of white folds, so my nephew wants to get some to make some quilts to keep out the cold."

The last time when Li Yin fooled Li Shimin, he offered three strategies to Ping Liao. In addition to the despicable and shameless harassment and separation of Goguryeo, he also proposed to plant cotton widely and use cotton to make cotton clothes. In this way, the soldiers will not be afraid of the severe cold in Liaodong up.Li Shimin has adopted all three of these strategies, and the first two have already been implemented, and it is said that they are already effective, but it will take at least a few years to achieve the goal Li Yin said.

The matter of cotton is more troublesome. One is the problem of seeds, and the other is the lack of understanding of the habits and uses of cotton. This year, due to time constraints, it is definitely impossible to plant it. This is the time for Datang to prepare.Farming and new technology promotion are the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, so this matter falls on Duan Lun's shoulders.

In order to solve the two problems of cotton promotion, Duan Lun did two things. One was to send people to Gaochang country. In addition to collecting a batch of seeds, he also hired many cotton planting experts. On the road, you can reach Chang'an years ago.Capital Datang 103

In addition, in Chang'an City, there are actually quite a few wealthy nobles who plant cotton in their gardens, mainly as an ornamental flower.And Duan Lun reported to Li Shimin.All the cotton that could be found in the entire Chang'an City was confiscated. When the cotton matured in August, the Ministry of Industry sent people to pick and dry the cotton.Now they are all stored in the Ministry of Industry, and what Li Yin is planning is the idea of ​​this batch of cotton.

Duan Lun frowned immediately when he heard that Li Min wanted Bai Diezi.Although there are many families in Chang'an City who planted Baidiezi, most of them only planted three or five plants, and some of them only planted one or two plots of land. Among them, the most royal gardens only planted acres. The stacks are added together, and in the end they are full and confiscated. The Ministry of Industry still needs to use this cotton for various tests such as warmth retention, spinning, and weaving. It was not enough in the first place, but now Li Yin has to ask for some.This made him very embarrassed.

"This... Liulang, how much do you want?" Duan Lun hesitated.In the end, he reluctantly decided to give Li Yin some.It is estimated that he can't use much by himself, so he asked.

"Hehe. My nephew thanked my uncle!" Li Yin said happily when Duan Lun agreed, "Actually, my nephew doesn't need much by himself. Uncle, you can just give me a few hundred catties of seedless white stacks. used."

"Pfft~" Duan Lun almost vomited blood, and stared at Li Yin with a trembling beard: How many catties of white stacks are used by one person?Even if it is made into a quilt, it is not afraid of crushing you to death?The Ministry of Industry only collected a few hundred catties this year, so what should they do if they gave it to Li Yin?

"Hey, is it a few hundred catties? One hundred catties is fine!" Seeing the other party's reaction, Li Yin knew that he wanted too much, and hurriedly changed his words cheekily.

"Liulang, why don't you take me apart and make a quilt!" Duan Lun said with a look of grief and indignation, one hundred catties is still too much, and he, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, still doesn't want to part with it.

"Is there always eighty catties?"

"No! Up to forty catties!"

"Seventy catties! No more bargaining!"

"Fifty! No more!"

"make a deal!"

Seeing Duan Lun's pained expression, Li Yin didn't dare to bargain any more. Anyway, fifty catties of cotton should be enough. The mother and concubine will send a bed, and the eldest grandson queen will also send a bed. The emperor's father will not give it away. If you want to be warm at night, go to the mother concubine or the empress, keep a bed for yourself, and then send another bed to Empress Xiao, and finally use the rest to make a set of smaller quilts and cotton clothes for Sizi.Although Li Yin wanted to send some cotton products to Li Ke, Xiao Yu and others, unfortunately, due to the limited amount of cotton, this year he could only feel sorry for them.

Just as Duan Lun was sent away, Li Yin picked up the Three Kingdoms and before he could lie down, he heard footsteps outside again. Li Yin looked at Wen'er and Hua'er helplessly and said, "What day is it today? How many people got together?" Seeing Li Yin's helpless look, Wen'er and Hua'er covered their mouths and snickered.

"Sixth brother, why are you hiding in the house on such a happy day?" Before the person came in, the voice came in first, and Li Yin knew it was Li Zhen who ran to his house every day.

"Eighth brother, you are a rare visitor, why didn't you stay in that little aunt's yard of yours, why did you come to my place?" Although he hadn't seen anyone yet, Li Yin refused to show weakness, and immediately retorted.Although Li Zhen went to his house every day and came to say hello to his sixth brother a few times at first, but after getting acquainted with him, Li Zhen got into the small courtyard of Wu's mother and daughter as soon as he came, and spent a whole day Li Yin couldn't even see anyone.

As soon as Li Yin's voice fell, he heard the snickering of a woman outside. Li Yin felt strange. When the door of the study opened, an embarrassed Li Zhen came in with two women. It was Wu Meiniang and her younger sister Wu Meiniang. .

Seeing the Wu sisters, Li Yin was also a little embarrassed, but his face was extremely thick, and his face turned red immediately, and he said with a smile: "I said, why is the eighth brother willing to come to my place today? It turns out that it was two Miss Wu who drove here , Disrespect! Disrespect!"

Although he said it easily, Li Yin felt strange in his heart. Ever since the Wu family's mother and daughter entered his Prince Liang's mansion, the Yang family had come to thank Li Yin several times, but for some reason, every time Yang As for Wu Meiniang, who is about the same age as Li Yin, Li Yin has never met Wu Meiniang. Today is the first time Wu Meiniang and Li Yin have met after they entered the mansion.Capital Datang 103

"Your Highness is really eager to learn. You are about to get married soon, and you can still hold on to the book, which is really admirable to Meiniang!" Seeing the Three Kingdoms in Li Yin's hands, Wu Meiniang thought Li Yin was reading a book just now, and praised with a smile.It's just that she was born with a coquettish attitude, and she was even more coquettish when she smiled, even Li Yin couldn't stand it when she saw it.

Hearing that the other party actually praised Li Yin for being studious, Wen'er and Hua'er couldn't help snickering immediately. Li Yin wanted to brag a little bit, but seeing these two girls who don't give face, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't brag , I can only honestly say: "I'm bored for a while, just read some miscellaneous books for entertainment, how can I count as learning?" After speaking, he gave Wen'er and Hua'er a look.

Hearing the truth from Li Yin, Wu Meiniang thought that Li Yin was being modest, and turned her head to look at the very threatening bookshelves in the study room. Then, remembering that the king of Liang was widely rumored to be talented, she firmly believed that Li Yin was a diligent and tireless person.

Although Wu's mother and daughter can only live in his own house now, Li Min is still very polite to Wu Meiniang, and hastily asked her to sit down. Anyway, there is nothing in this study that needs privacy, so Li Yin doesn't care about them.

"Meiniang, why are you free to come to my place today?" Although Li Yin guessed a little bit, he still asked knowingly, after all, the two of them are not familiar with each other, and if they don't talk nonsense, they really can't find a topic.

"Meiniang was not feeling well a few days ago and was unable to come to thank His Highness. Fortunately, she has been taken care of by His Highness these days, and she has gotten better recently. I heard that the day after tomorrow is His Highness's wedding day, so Meiniang came to thank His Highness. , Second, I came to congratulate Your Highness on your wedding." Although Wu Meiniang didn't talk much, she did not leak anything, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

"Hehe, Mei Niang, you have a heart." Li Min smiled, "By the way, I have asked someone to prepare invitations for you, and you must come to my wedding!"

"Hehe, His Highness invites us, and our mother and daughter will naturally not be absent. Besides, Li Liulang, who is well-known in Chang'an, is getting married. How many people are still begging to attend His Highness's wedding. It is a great honor for Meiniang to have this blessing." Wu Meiniang also smiled coquettishly.

"Hey~, if you attend the wedding, little aunt, you will be able to see my father and concubine, and you will also be able to see Concubine Yang and my concubine mother. Sixth brother and I will introduce you to you. After entering the palace, we will also meet you." Nice to meet you." Li Zhen got out at some point, and said with a smile when he heard the conversation between the two.

"Entering the palace? Entering the palace for what? Meiniang is going to enter the palace?" Li Min's face immediately changed when he heard Li Zhen's words, and he asked three consecutive questions, obviously shocked by the news.

"Yeah, Brother Six, didn't I tell you?" Li Zhen asked with an expression that you should know.

"What did you tell me?" Li Yin wanted to slap Li Zhen to death, why didn't he know such important news?

"Oh, maybe I forgot to tell you. My mother and concubine have already recommended my aunt to enter the palace, and my father also agreed." Li Zhen said indifferently. In his opinion, Wu's mother The woman has nothing to do with Li Yin, she just lives here because of her own relationship, so whether Wu Meiniang enters the palace has nothing to do with Li Yin.

"When did this happen?" The muscles on Li Yin's face couldn't help twitching, and at the same time he kept warning himself: Calm down, be sure to calm down, the other party is his own brother, and killing people is also against the law.

"Hmm~, it should be the day after we injured brother five." Li Zhen tilted her head and thought for a while, and then said with a face of sudden realization, "Oh, I remembered, I was in a hurry to get this thing out that day. Tell my little aunt and the others about it, and then the fifth brother besieged the Prince Liang's mansion, and then I forgot about it."

The day after Li You was injured?In other words, it has been nearly two months now, but~, but this little bastard Li Zhen has never told himself, does he know, it is very likely that because of today's negligence, their royal family of the Li family will be exiled in the future. How much blood?Thinking of this, Li Yin felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling. Under his extreme endurance, all the nerves in his whole body were also twitching slightly. Only now did he know that it turned out to be this feeling when he wanted to kill someone!
