Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

But soon this look was covered up, because the emperor knew that this matter must not be that simple.

If it was that simple, then my own father would not have spent so much trouble.

He had directly explained this matter to him a long time ago, or what this semi-national destiny is.

"I don't know if Yafu has any requirements?"

Li Shimin said calmly, apparently dazzled by the surprise.

Shu An on the other side couldn't help sighing, talking to a smart person is different, and he quickly understood his purpose.

Chapter 399 Bargaining, Trust

"A title shouldn't be too much."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said, it's time to seek benefits for his disciples.

"As long as the things given can really make Datang stronger, then naturally it is not too much."

Li Shimin said naturally with a complexion, but he had already begun to be vigilant in his heart.

The reason is very simple, Li Shimin immediately knew that this sub-father was definitely not the title he wanted for himself.

After all, my sub-father has rejected many fame and fortune, and it is even more impossible to change now.

Shu An slowly and carefully placed the cotton seeds on the stone table, and then a voice sounded.

"This is something that can bring half-full luck to Datang, and it was also brought back from Tianzhu."

Li Shimin looked suspiciously at the strange seeds on the table.

He has also seen quite a few seeds, but he knows that this is not any kind of seed he has seen.

Thinking of bringing it back from Tianzhu, is there anything good in Tianzhu?

"This thing is a cotton seed, what is cotton, I think the people of the world will not understand if I talk too much."

There was a mysterious smile on Shu An's face and he said, at first he wanted to explain Cotton clearly.

But forget it for the last thought, anyway, Li Shimin probably didn't understand so many explanations.

If you haven't seen it, you won't understand it, but there are some black lines on Li Shimin's face at this time.

Because this Yafu has a bad personality, even if he doesn't understand, it's good to listen to it.

"All in all, if it is planted, then Datang will definitely benefit. Now it's up to the people to believe it or not."

At the same time, Shu An's voice continued to sound, and now it depends on Li Shimin's choice.

If Li Shimin chooses not to have this gift, then Shu An doesn't care either.

The reason is simple, it only takes one year to grow cotton.

Even in autumn, he has already started to make cotton clothes. By that time, the credit is still there, but it is only later.

"How could Shimin refuse Yafu's gift?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he said, even though he didn't know what was going on with Cotton.

But he knew that Yafu had never made a mistake, and a title was nothing to him.

Anyway, he doesn't mind being the first to invest in some, of course he has a feeling.

That is, if he doesn't want Yafu's gift this time, then he may regret it in the future.

"If I remember correctly, another disciple of Yafu seemed to have left Chang'an around last spring."

Li Shimin's words continued to resound, and at this moment he finally remembered something that Baiqi had mentioned.

That is about Tang Xuanzang, and it is said that Yafu also contributed a lot to this.

Li Shimin was puzzled as soon as possible at the beginning, but he still let Tang Xuanzang go, but now it seems that there is indeed a problem.

Presumably at that time, that disciple of Yafu also went to Tianzhu and brought back these things.

Of course, Li Shimin's eyes are even brighter. After all, his Asian father has spent so much effort, this is not a simple thing at all.

"That's right, these are all brought back from Tianzhu by Xuance through life and death."

A gloomy expression appeared in Shu An's eyes, and he said, if he had known such danger earlier.

Then it might be a different person, after all, whether it is Shu Kuanghu and others, they are much more flexible than Wang Xuance.

In fact, he didn't think about the matter about cotton until he returned to Chang'an. He didn't think about it during the war.

In addition, Wang Xuance has an indissoluble bond with Tianzhu in history, so he decided to do so.

"Although I don't know what Yafu attaches so much importance to, it's okay to give a county man first."

Li Shimin also felt that his Asian father was in the wrong mood to speak out. You must know that if you give too high, then it will not be so easy to pass if you don't show the corresponding merit.

The current title is still very valuable, although there are some problems with this metaphor, but thinking about how difficult it is for countless people in the army to completely change from soldiers to nobles.

For example, if there is no guarantee from his own father this time, then Li Shimin will not be like this.

"Can!"

Shu An said, even a county man is not bad, it represents three hundred households in Shiyi, from the fifth rank.

It is very rare to be able to get this honorable name without credit.

Of course, it is mainly cotton. There is really no way to prove it in a short time. After all, Li Shimin and others have never seen cotton before.

Maybe some cotton seeds were brought to Tang Dynasty from Tianzhu, but many people don't know what it is.

It was under such circumstances that caused Cotton's loss. Fortunately, he can make up for this helplessness.

You must know that cotton was introduced from Tianzhu to the land of China after 300 years in terms of history.

"Then, can Yafu tell me what this is?"

Li Shimin looked at these seeds again, obviously this emperor has believed in Shu An.

This time, Shu An did not refuse, but spoke out about the function of cotton and its cultivation.

"Cotton can be made into cotton clothes and quilts? It can keep you warm even in the cold winter."

"If there are cotton coats, then the soldiers will not freeze in winter, and even sending troops to the grassland is not impossible."

"And cotton is affordable even for ordinary people, so even if there is a big snowstorm, they won't sleep forever in this winter because of the cold."

.......

Following Shu An's explanation, Li Shimin's mind seemed to outline pictures one after another, and he couldn't help becoming excited on his face.

If it is really what Yafu said, then these seeds seem to be priceless treasures.

Whether it was sending troops in winter or the profits, Li Shimin couldn't give up, and this emperor believed more and more that this matter was true.

The reason is simple, if Yafu grows it himself, he can buy it at a high price in the future, but Yafu has no selfish intentions.

From this point of view alone, Li Shimin can conclude that the words of this Yafu are true.

After Shu An finished talking about his plans for cotton, he didn't care about Li Shimin's distraction, because he could feel that the emperor would definitely treat these cotton seeds well.

In the end, Li Shimin took away half of the seeds, treating these seeds as if they were treasures, and he might as well give in to Shu An's cautiousness.

Following what Shu An said, the emperor naturally knew the importance of these seeds. Even if he went to Tianzhu again, it would take a year to waste. The most lacking thing now is time.

Chapter 400 Plant, wake up

Li Shimin left in a hurry, but Shu An didn't care, anyway, Li Shimin would bring the edict of knighthood later.

Even though he got it with his own guarantee, Shu An thought it was worth it. After all, he was going through life and death, and he just paid some of this reward in advance for Wang Xuance.

"We have to start getting people ready to plant."

Shu An murmured softly, with the end of the new year, the beginning of spring is not far away.

Not much happened this winter, and of course it was impossible for anything to happen, because there was a lot of snow.

After all, he is a mortal, and he has no special power to change anything.

Although technology can indeed change, unfortunately, at the current level, even in another 1000 years, it will not be able to change the sky.

Of course, even planting Shu'an is destined to be unable to pay attention to these cottons every day, so I can only write down the main points of planting cotton in my memory before traveling.

Needless to say, there are some weeding and pest control, mainly field management to maintain the height of cotton plants.

In addition, cotton needs water for a period of time, around June and July, and Shu An can only remember the things in his memory vaguely.

After all, he had never grown cotton before crossing, but he had only heard it said a few times, so he remembered a few points.

The specific situation is definitely not that easy, and it is best to grow cotton in the south.

The reason is simple. The temperature in the north is still a little lower, so choosing a location is also a problem.

There is cotton in this era, but it is silk, which can't play a role in keeping warm at all. On the contrary, cotton is different.

Although one radical is different, the actual meaning is quite different.

"Anyway, it definitely can't be planted in Chang'an."

Shu An soon had an idea that it was enough to hire some farmers to grow cotton, and he didn't care how Li Shimin planted it.

After all, he was not the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty. Anyway, the Song Dynasty, 300 years later in history, could plant it, so there is no reason that the Tang Dynasty could not.

As for the seeds left behind, it is naturally Shu An's selfishness, and he can't make any money by busying himself.

Although Shu An has the mission of a sage, it doesn't mean he is a sage.

Contrary to Shu An's idea, as soon as Li Shimin returned to the palace, he asked people to keep these seeds, and even let Baiqi's guards take care of them personally.

Of course, Li Shimin did not forget to issue an imperial decree, just a county man, this emperor can still call the shots.

"Come here, let the household department come over."

In addition, Li Shimin naturally began to arrange to plant this so-called cotton, wanting to know what is different from cotton.

Not many people in the court knew about this matter, even if the dead cotton seeds were obtained from An Xuangong, no one knew.

Otherwise, it would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now, after all, every time Shu An did something, it was not easy.

It's a pity that no one knew that this emperor had the habit of leaving the palace early in the morning.

As for the county man, no one has noticed yet, such a small title will not cause too many fluctuations.

......

It wasn't until the setting sun was about to set that Wang Xuance woke up, and Shu An came to Wang Xuance's room the first moment he heard the news.

"Teacher, I...back...come...."

Wang Xuance's pale face squeezed out a smile and said, it seems that because his teacher is gentle and likes to laugh, he is also used to it.

From the southwest to Chang'an, according to Wang Xuance's estimate, he should be able to support it. Unexpectedly, an astonishing heavy snow messed up all the plans.

Even Wang Xuance felt a little scared when he thought about it now, but fortunately he came back and saw so many familiar faces again.

"It's good to be back, and the cotton seeds have already been received by the teacher."

"Although cotton needs a year to verify, a county man has been won for you now."

"In the end, I'm afraid that you won't be able to go back to your hometown this year. After all, it's not easy to go back with this appearance."

......

Shu An also smiled and said, with a lot of emotion in every sentence.

As soon as possible, he has covered up a lot, but the people around him can still feel that the master is not a person without feelings, he just doesn't want to express it.

Wang Xuance also laughed happily when he heard his teacher's words, he did not expect such a big change in his identity.

The county male seems to be good too. It takes a lot of time to know how many people want to go from zero to rich.

It was for this reason that Wang Xuance didn't feel any dissatisfaction at all, and even felt that he had taken advantage of it.

After all, normally speaking, his life would not be in danger, but the budget error made him not fully prepared.

"Teacher, there is also... the art of making sugar."

However, Wang Xuance did not forget that his teacher still had another task to explain.

You must know that in order to obtain this method, he did not know how many Tianzhu people were knocked out, but fortunately, everything was worth it.
