Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

There were also many servants and guards following Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian couldn't help showing a fresh look after he left the palace.

Looking around along the way, Li Chengqian's visits to the palace have become less and less since his father's ascension to the throne.

The last time it was about Grandpa An, Li Chengqian felt that there were some novelties about many things in Chang'an.

Obviously, these things are all familiar to him, and Li Chengqian also has a different feeling compared to Chang'an before.

Autumn is originally a season of high and refreshing autumn, the golden fields between the fields, and the fruits of the trees.

These are things that Li Chengqian has never experienced before. Now when he saw this farm, Li Chengqian looked very excited.

After all, it is also a royal farm. Originally, Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to this farm.

However, after going to Yafu Farm, even this emperor couldn't help but make some plans by himself.

In addition, there are too many things that the royal farm can touch, and compared with Shu'an's farm, each has its own advantages.

Shu An wins in terms of foundation and accumulation, as well as innovation in technology, while Li Shimin wins in the scale and variety of the farm.

As soon as he entered the farm, Li Chengqian seemed to have thought of something, and started picking it himself.

"His Royal Highness, you are the body of a thousand pieces of gold, so don't do anything."

Li Chengqian's actions also frightened many servants, but it's a pity that this crown prince is not someone who listens to these people.

Although Shu An has not taught Li Chengqian several times, it is impossible without some influence.

In addition, Shu An also treated Li Chengqian well, so naturally he wouldn't make the prince feel disgusted.

Walking and stopping all the way in the farm, Li Chengqian was already sweating profusely without knowing it, but this feeling of fulfillment made the prince very satisfied.

"Hey, what is that?!"

Li Chengqian's gaze could not help but fall on a field in the distance, because the plants on the field are very special.

It's just that half of the plants in the field have turned yellow and are obviously withered.

You must know that there are many people taking care of the farm, and even Li Chengqian finds it inconceivable that some plants wither.

"Your Highness, this is called cotton, and it was planted by His Majesty in early spring."

A person in charge of guarding the farm looked respectful and said, of course, there was a lot of bitterness in his words.

Because they didn't know what kind of plant it was, they just planted it according to the normal method, but unfortunately, many of them withered.

It is necessary to know that if there is a withered place in the farm, then find some similar plants to fill it.

But the key point is that he has never seen this plant before, and he doesn't know where to transplant it. In the end, he can only put it here to wither.

If these withered plants were removed, there would be very few left.

"Cotton, is it a kind of flower?!"

Li Chengqian murmured softly, and there seemed to be a trace of affirmation in his words.

"Come here, replace this acre of land with other vegetables and fruits."

But soon Li Chengqian's voice sounded, obviously thinking that these flowers and plants should not occupy the position of food.

"Your Highness, this is what His Majesty told you."

"It doesn't matter, if the father is held accountable, it is to say what the prince said."

......

In the royal farm, the cotton plants were uprooted one by one. Unfortunately, Li Chengqian didn't know that he had caused trouble again this time.

Of course, Li Shimin has a lot of responsibilities. The reason is very simple, that is, Li Shimin almost forgot about the cotton thing.

Even if Shu An made a serious confession at the beginning, it is a pity that with the plot against Annan and the occurrence of Southwest incidents, Mian Mian has long been left behind.

Naturally, the people in charge of these farms didn't feel how much His Majesty attached importance to these cottons at all, and in the end there was no resistance under the order of the prince.

In fact, the people in charge of these farms have the same opinion as Li Chengqian. It may be some precious flowers, which His Majesty has had before.

Chapter 5 and Seven Guess, Cotton

No one knows what Li Chengqian did in the royal farm, even Empress Changsun didn't think there was any problem.

The servants who followed the prince reported every move of the prince, and the eldest grandson empress looked very gentle.

It has to be said that Li Shimin also had some doubts about this cotton, so naturally he would not tell Empress Changsun.

Of course, if it is said to Empress Changsun, then there may be another ending, the reason is very simple, if it is said who in this world trusts Shu An the most.

Then naturally it must be the eldest grandson queen, but unfortunately different processes also represent different results.

The current queen probably also thinks that cotton should be an ornamental flower.

Following Li Chengqian's experience this time, it also represented the downfall of Qiu Wei, but the faces of these scholars who walked out of the examination room were all solemn.

"I didn't expect that this year's topic would be very different from last year's."

"Not only is it different, but it's also much more difficult than before."

"Especially the last question, it seems that we are asked to look at this issue from the standpoint of courtiers of the Tang Dynasty."

........

These scholars were also talking a lot, with a hint of exclamation and some helplessness in their words.

Even if it is not the first time I have seen a similar topic, but this kind of topic has many uncertainties, such as the thoughts of His Majesty today.

Another example is the thoughts of the person who scored this time. It can be said that these are very important and will affect the score this time.

Even these students from the academy were also frowning when they returned to the academy, needless to say Su Dashan among them.

Even after listening to the course for half a year, Su Dashan's adaptability is still not as fast as the students from the previous year.

There is no way to do this. Su Dashan's identity is destined to not only concentrate on studying, but Su Dashan is already very satisfied.

In the past, he didn't know how many times he was kicked out for learning a little knowledge, and he didn't know how many times he was stared at by people.

The current environment is undoubtedly like a fairyland for him. If he can't read good books, then it is his own problem.

The students in the academy were preoccupied and seemed to be worried about something.

And all of this was being seen by Shu An, but Shu An didn't remind anything, the reason was very simple, he didn't know what would happen in the imperial examination this time.

These three raters have their own characteristics, and Shu An really can't guess how much they score and how little they talk about.

Not to mention that although Shu An can guess some of Li Shimin's inner thoughts, there are still some things he doesn't understand.

Is this emperor so anxious, or there are other reasons.

In other words, the border has become restless again, and winter is only two or three months away.

Those alien races from the north must go south again. Although there is no record in history, Shu An knows that these are the haze that has not been recorded in history.

After all, these things have a bad reputation for the emperor to record.

Originally, Li Shimin's reputation was not very good, but now he cherishes it even more, and naturally he will not record it.

"If it was in the past, Li Shimin would definitely not have any ideas, but now Datang has a lot of money and food."

Shu An thought silently, one must know that Li Shimin will live in peace for a few years. After all, although money and food are the main aspect, soldiers are also very important.

If many foreign races are inadvertently united, even Datang will have some difficulty resisting it.

It's not that Shu An thinks highly of these alien races, but that alien races are really serious in this era, even in the Wu Zhou period, there are still many alien races in history.

After thinking of this, Shu An didn't continue to think, that emperor should not be so unwise.

Not to mention that even if Li Shimin wanted to do this, Changsun Wuji and others would stop him, and there was no need for him to remind him.

"Master, there is news from the cotton farm that the cotton has been picked and is waiting to be made."

Just as Shu An was thinking, a respectful voice sounded, it was Shu Kuanghu.

Since Shu Kuanghu came back, he naturally followed Shu An, but Shu Kuangshi said he was going to meet the caravan and ran out.

Even Shu An felt a little helpless, so he let him go, but now Shu An has received good news.

Shu'an attaches great importance to cotton. You must know that there are many things to pay attention to when planting cotton, and the harvest season is usually in summer and autumn.

When to harvest is related to the variety of cotton and the environment in which it grows.

And these seeds brought back by Tianzhu are generally harvested in autumn, which is the current time.

After the cotton is available, it is time to make cotton clothes that can keep warm, although the amount of cotton grown now is not much.

But it is still no problem to make a few pieces. If this emperor is not allowed to see the finished product, he may think that he is lying to him.

Although Li Shimin doesn't care about a noble title, it may be very rare in the eyes of others, but in Li Shimin's eyes, that's all.

"Let's make it quickly and send it back to Chang'an earlier."

After hearing these words, Shu An immediately said, with a hint of impatience in his words.

"Yes, sir!"

Shu Kuanghu said without hesitation, and he will be notified immediately when he goes down.

"And how about the purchase of fields by the sea?"

Of course, Shu An remembered the matter about cotton, so naturally Shu An would not forget about Haiyan.

Although he will not purify table salt from salt mines, he can choose the method of drying salt in seawater.

Even if these salts are not pure, they are much better than those vinegar cloths and the like in this era.

"According to the news from the back, an agreement has been reached with the local people, but we don't have enough manpower."

Shu Kuanghu revealed a wry smile and said, this matter is not that easy, it must be done by trusted people.

You can only choose from some of their guards, but some of the key guards have just got married, and some have just been born.

No matter who is chosen, it is not suitable. It can be said that this is another problem.

"You arrange this matter."

It's a pity that Shu An is also aware of the difficulties involved, but still pretends not to know and speaks out directly.

Because it's not that easy to let Shu An make the choice, so it's better to leave it to Shu Kuanghu to have a headache, because he had already made the choice last time.

The palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh, and Shu An basically treated these guards equally.

But it is impossible to let no one do this thing. Salt is also indispensable.

"Yes, sir!"

Shu Kuanghu could only agree with a wry smile on his face.

Chapter 5 and Eight of Compromise, Scores of Disagreement

With the influx of Annan's grain, the price of rice in the whole world has dropped by more than three levels. In the past, the common people may only seek one and a half food, but now they have at least one food and clothing.

Although Li Shimin did not reveal his identity, he still couldn't hide from some people's detection.

After all, with so much food suddenly pouring into the whole world, it is difficult not to attract attention.

The results of the final investigation all point to Annan, and the people behind Annan don't even need to think about who they are.

It can be said that Li Shimin's move made these aristocratic families gnash their teeth, and even spread some rumors about this matter.

"Actually, these grains were brought by His Majesty."

Originally, he wanted to put some pressure on Li Shimin in the court, but he didn't expect these rumors to spread to the ears of the people.

It has added a lot of prestige to Li Shimin, although there are still some impeachments that are unfavorable to Li Shimin in the court.

It's a pity that Li Shimin has no intention of backing down on this matter.

So in the end, it was nothing. The deposit of so much money gave this emperor too much confidence.

Things that the emperor dared not do in the past, now the emperor does not hesitate.

Of course, this naturally made the aristocratic family somewhat unwilling, but they couldn't find any way to deal with this emperor in a short time.

In addition, some family members noticed this special place in Annan.

With the lessons learned from Lingnan, people from these aristocratic families quickly understood Annan's situation.

"Two seasons a year, twice as much food."
