Mohist Tang

“Sure enough, very light and soft!”

Su Lingnong picked up the quilt and weighed it carefully, and said joyfully, even though it was not as light as a brocade, But it is much better than the thick and heavy fabric.

“And it’s very warm.”

Li Shimin put the cotton quilt on his body, and after a while, he felt sweaty. The warmth effect is better than that of cloth quilt and brocade quilt.

The two were very interested, and they were not full of interest in direct observation. They directly tore the cotton quilt through a big opening and took out a bunch of white cotton from the inside.

Mo Dun’s lips twitched. This is a unique and unmatched cotton padded jacket. Before he could use it, he died before he was born.

Mo Dun said again: “In addition to manufacturing cotton quilts, these cottons can also be filled between clothes and manufactured into winter clothes. As long as this material becomes popular, the people of Great Tang will definitely no longer need it. Endure the bitter cold of winter.”

“How about the yield of this product?” Su Lingnong asked.

Mo Dun thought for a while and said: “Cotton is as light as nothing, and it is not appropriate to measure it by weight. However, according to the following estimates, the cotton grown on one acre is enough to keep a family from cold. Worry.”

“Well, let alone this thing is twenty gold, it is two hundred gold, two thousand gold, it is also worth the money.” Li Shimin excited.

Great Tang lacks things to keep out the cold in winter. Rich people have Diaoqiu Jin Yi to keep out the cold, but poor people not only lack warm clothes, but even cloth quilts are mostly filled with wheat straws to keep out the cold.

Every winter is the most difficult time for the poor people of Great Tang. Once the temperature drops sharply and the sky is cold, people will freeze to death every year because of the cold.

“Moreover, cottonseed contains a lot of oil. Whether it can be eaten or not has yet to be verified, but at least it is not a problem to light it as an oil lamp.” Mo Dun said.

Every night in Great Tang, it is pitch black. The biggest reason is that the cost of lighting in this era is very high. Most wealthy people use candles to clean, but they cost a lot.

Ordinary persons often use oil lamps. The source of oil is mostly cooking oil. Ordinary people dont even have enough oil and water to eat, so they are willing to light the lamp.

As far as Mo Dun remembers, although cottonseed can squeeze out oil, it contains toxins. Without further processing, it will cause men to regret lifelong regrets. Besides, lighting oil is also the same. In a huge market, there is no worries about sales.

“This thing is a treasure all over the body. Popularization as early as possible will benefit the people of Great Tang as soon as possible. I immediately dispatched Emissary to Gaochang to collect seeds and promote it in Great Tang immediately.” Li Shimin excitedly said.

For the poor, the most indispensable thing is land. As long as this thing can be planted in the soil, then all problems are not a problem.

“Your Majesty is not allowed?” Su Lingnong hurriedly stopped.

“What?” Li Shimin suddenly wondered. If Mo Dun objected, Li Shimin could understand it. After all, Mo Dun, the youngster, bought it at a high price. If the Imperial Court came forward and went to Gaochang to get it. Kind of, wouldn’t the twenty gold of Mohist Family Son be spent in vain?

But as a Minister of Agriculture, Su Lingnong, how could such a benefit for the country and the people be opposed?

Su Lingnong explained: “reporting to Your Majesty, the planting dealer can be different from others, but according to the weather and soil, etc., the difference between Heaven and Earth will be the difference between Heaven and Earth. Orange and Huaibei are oranges. Gaochangguo and Great Tang have different climates. If they are promoted rashly, it might not be appropriate.”

Li Shimin was suddenly stunned and knew he was impatient.

Mo Dun couldn’t help but praise Su Lingnong. This talent is the real Agricultural School of Thought.

He understands that in many cases, although the use of doctrine is simple and quick, but the damage is endless, in fact, we only heard about the seeds of later generations that were introduced to China, but did not know that these seeds were also domesticated for several generations before they became Great Tang put down roots.

Li Shimin took a sigh of relief, knowing that he was feeling anxious, and took a deep breath at the moment: “Even so, you are only a few seeds in your hand, how can you try to plant it.”

Mo Dun suddenly showed a shy expression, and said sorry: “Your Majesty, the youngster has placed a large number of orders with Western Regions Foreign Merchant since he discovered that cotton can keep warm, but it will definitely be available in two months. Large quantities of cotton with cotton seeds are coming!”

At this time, not at all, even if it is Gaochang Guo stripping cotton seeds, it is a troublesome thing. Although Baidizi is more expensive, cotton with cotton seeds But the price was low, and Mo Dun took the opportunity to purchase large quantities.

Li Shimin suddenly heard this, staring at Mo Dun bitterly and said: “I mean you youngster is clever or are you youngster greedy for money?”

I know that when this new soft and warm cotton quilt is on the market, it will definitely be popular in Chang’an City. When the time comes, Mohist Family Son’s 20 gold is not just a stretch.

“Isn’t youngster planning ahead? Youngster emptied Mohist Village at the Western Regions event, and still owes a lot of money,” Mo Dun suddenly complained.

Even he has to prepare the fifty gold of the Johor businessman! There are also seeds continuously sent by Western Regions merchants in the future. These all need yellow gold. After careful calculation, Mo Dun was immediately dazed. It can be said that it was momentary and regretted that he broke his heart.

Thinking of this, Mo Dun couldn’t help but stared at Li Shimin. How much he hopes Li Shimin’s body will be shaken at this moment, and he waved his big hand: I will get the money.

“This matter is left to you and the other two, try planting first, and be sure to obtain cotton seeds suitable for Great Tang planting.” Li Shimin directly ignored Mo Dun’s poor expression and talked about the ability to make money. , This youngster wants to be second in Chang’an City, no one dares to say first, and even dared to cry poor in front of him.

“Yes!” Mo Dun and Su Lingnong responded simultaneously.

“If the Johor rice is true! That is Great Tang’s greatest blessing.”

There are precedents for the success of cotton seeds, which proves that these Foreign Merchants are indeed true. , Li Shimin could not help but look forward to what the Johor businessman said about the improved rice.

Mo Dun said: “Reporting to Your Majesty, judging from the youngster, there is no need for a Johor businessman to lie. Of course, the youngster has clearly said, This rice seed needs to be planted in Lingnan Dao before the gold will be paid to this person.”

“It is double the gold.” Li Shimin coldly stabbed Mo Dun.

Mo Dun immediately bleeds in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: “If this rice is true? Mohist Family will pay for it.”

“Really?”

Li Shimin’s face suddenly condensed, double that is a hundred gold, even if rice is true, this matter is not of much benefit to the Mohist Family, and what is the purpose of the Mohist Family? “

Mo Dun without the slightest hesitation said: “Youngster once said in the Mohist Technology Exhibition that the Mohist Family will lead Mohist Village to a well-off society. The prerequisite for achieving a well-off society is to solve the problem of food and clothing.

If you are poor, you will benefit the world. Cotton and rice seeds are the gifts for the people of Mohist Family Great Tang to solve the problem of food and clothing. The warehouses know the etiquette and the honor and disgrace. Only the people of Great Tang No more worries about hunger and cold, the Hundred Schools of Thought will naturally flourish, and the Mohist Family will rise again. “

From the time when Mohist Family first appeared in Chang’an City, Mo Dun knew that Mohist Family was destined to be low-key, and Mo Dun never concealed Mohist Familys re-emergence ambitions as a Obviously, if the Mohist Family twists and conceals, it will make people suspicious. Instead, it is better to fight for it openly.
