I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

After Li Shen left, the entire institute started to move, and several people started making looms in groups.

Old-fashioned looms are very slow if operated by one person, and the width of the cloth is limited.

If you want to weave wider cloth, at least two people are needed, and the loom is also customized.

When Li Shen returned to the palace, Zhang Wang had been waiting here for a long time.

"My lord, the mahjong man you asked me to make is finished. My lord, look at it."

Zhang Wang came to give away mahjong. These four pairs of mahjong took a long time in their carpentry workshop. The craftsmen carved them carefully for fear of making mistakes.

Because the materials given by Li Shen were too precious, they couldn't afford to pay for it if they were blamed, so they haven't finished the work until now.

In the past, Li Shen had to make them carve them out of solid wood.

"Is it finished? Let me take a look." Li Shen became interested when he heard that Mahjong was completed.

I opened them one by one and looked at them. There were two pairs with jade and two pairs with ivory.

"Well, you have done a good job. I will give you more rewards at the end of the year." Li Shen was in a good mood.

"By the way, you go back and tell your craftsmen that whoever can figure out a way to increase the weaving speed of the loom will be rewarded by the king with thousands of knives and hundreds of acres of fertile land."

Li Shen suddenly remembered, aren't there a group of carpenters here? There is strength in numbers.

"It's the prince"

Zhang Wang agreed and then resigned.

Li Shen took the mahjong back to the inner house.

"Come on, let's try this mahjong, see if it works for you." Li Shen happily took out the mahjong made of red sandalwood and jade, and called several personal maids and Wu Mei over to start playing.

These girls are smart and flexible.

Li Shen taught them twice before, and after playing a few games, they started to get good at it, and now they are even more proficient.

A few people played until dinner time, when Li Shen pushed the cards.

"No more playing, let's eat."

"Your Majesty is cheating again, I'm going to do something stupid soon." The little girl Dongmei shouted.

"Nonsense, how can I cheat? I'm hungry. Besides, you're still far away from playing cards. Hurry up and pack up and eat." Li Shen didn't blush at all for cheating.

It's no wonder that Li Shen was depressed, so he started playing tricks twice, and kept losing the rest, watching the three people finish playing tricks.

This severely damaged Li Shen's self-confidence. After all, I am a modern person. Why can't I play a few girl movies?

As a result, he lost all afternoon. Fortunately, Li Shen initially set the bottom of one penny.

Otherwise, we still don’t know how much money we will lose.

It happened that there was no time to play while eating. No matter who was always losing, he couldn't sit still. The few maids had no choice but to serve Li Shen, wash up and eat.

The next day, each of Li Shen's four sets of mahjong was sent to Concubine Wei of Daji Palace.

Li Shen always felt that there were too few entertainment projects in this period. He didn't know what a person could do all day long if he stayed in the palace for a long time.

Now that mahjong is available, Li Shen is very happy to be able to add some entertainment items to the palace and make Concubine Wei less boring.

In Daji Hall, Li Shen also spent half an hour teaching Concubine Wei and several maids around her.

Li Shen was afraid that Concubine Wei would be bored. Although Concubine Wei and the queen were making wedding clothes for Li Mengjiang, they would be finished one day.

Besides, you can’t do it all day long, why don’t you combine work and rest? And most of the work was done by the embroiderers in the palace.

Among the two pairs given by Li Shen, the red sandalwood one is for Concubine Wei to play with, and the ivory one is for playing with Li Shimin or the queen.

Concubine Wei praised Li Shen for his thoughtfulness.

Li Mengjiang was still seven or eight months away from her wedding, so Concubine Wei began to arrange her dowry.

Now she has a lot of wealth given by Li Shen. The copper coins alone are worth millions.

Li Mengjiang's dowry was set by Concubine Wei at 50 yuan, [-] shops in Dongshi, and [-] acres of fertile land.

There are also various kinds of pearls, agates, jade and jade, and there is also a [-]% bonus from Li Shen's wine business.

Li Shen said that he would decide on these first, and then he would see what was missing and make up for it later.

This means that Wei Zheng died early, otherwise he might be impeached again for violating the etiquette system.

Back then, Li Shimin gave Li Lili less than one-tenth of this, and Wei Zhenghao even scolded her.

"Shen'er, have you forgotten something important?" Concubine Wei suddenly asked.

"Big deal? What big deal?" Li Shen was stunned when asked. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I had forgotten nothing.

"You kid, you are still worried about Meng Jiang's marriage. Have you forgotten that you are getting married in two months?" Concubine Wei said reproachfully.

"What? Two more months?" Li Shen was confused.

"Mother, why don't I know?" Li Shen asked quickly. He only knew about engagement.

"Shen'er, when we got engaged last year, I told you that you said you would let me make the final decision, and everything that needs to be prepared has already been done.

The groom's clothes have been prepared for you in the palace. Otherwise, where would you think the silk silk from last time went? "Concubine Wei felt that her son had lost his memory. He could still forget important events in his life.

"Didn't the Tiansi silk last time be used to make clothes for the concubine? Oops, I don't remember the concubine. If there is anything else to prepare, I will have someone prepare it right away." Li Shen really forgot.

Everything was booked at that time, and with just a notification, Li Shen felt as casual as telling your family to pay the electricity bill.

For example, if I tell you that I bought something, if you have never seen it before, you will basically forget it a year later.

"Just go back and tidy up the palace. I have already prepared everything else for you. As for etiquette and other things, the palace will send someone to your palace to teach you before the wedding."

The marriage of a prince is more troublesome than the six folk rituals.

"It's great to have a mother-in-law." Li Shen sighed.

"Okay, you go and sit at your Aye's place. You don't visit your Aye every time you come here. Last time your Aye came, you said he hadn't seen you for a long time." Concubine Wei started to drive people away.

"Concubine, I don't want to go. Aye always cares about my money, and I guess he will also have a headache when he sees me." Li Shen was really scared.

"You kid, go ahead." Concubine Wei was so angry that she laughed. These two father and son were really happy enemies, and they would compete with each other when they met.

Li Shen had no choice but to go to Liangyi Palace.

At this moment, Li Shimin of Liangyi Palace was discussing important matters with several important ministers. Li Shen poked his head outside the door and took a look. He found someone and was about to leave.

"How sneaky are you? Come in quickly." When Li Shimin heard Wang De say that Li Shen was here, he looked up and saw Li Shen poking his head, so he said.

("Note: Gaochang produced cotton, which was clearly recorded in history books before the Tang Dynasty. "Southern History Volume 79" says:

There are many grasses and trees, some grasses are like cocoons, and the silk in the cocoons is like fine strands. It is called Baidiezi. The Chinese people use it to make cloth, and the cloth is very soft and white.

According to research, Chinese cotton belongs to African cotton, not Indian cotton. ")
