I was a prince in ancient times

Xie Anlan's eyes fell on Lu Chengjiao's smile, and he couldn't stop rolling his throat.

The eyes that had been crying fiercely last night were still swollen, and the tails of the eyes were raised, with some blush, and he just smiled confidently at him like that.

It immediately tickled his heart.

"That's right." Xie Anlan secretly suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and answered him with a twitch of her lips.

"This thing is called cotton. It can be used to spin clothes. Most importantly, it can also be used as stuffing in clothes to keep warm." Xie Anlan stepped forward, knelt down and picked up the scattered cotton on the ground. , Pick them up one by one.

Lu Chengjiao also squatted down to pick it up, and his hands touched a large piece of softness, which seemed to bring some warmth.

Slightly surprised, "Your Highness, this cotton is actually warmer than silk and other things?"

"Well, with this thing, the people of Yongchao will no longer be afraid of the cold." Xie Anlan looked up at him, then nodded.

Xie Anlan still remembers the chilling sackcloth he went to try on at a shop when he traveled through time.

From then on, he wanted to grow cotton, but it was hard and there was no land.

He couldn't use the land that the common people planted to grow cotton, so he had to find another way.

Fortunately, the weather and soil in Yicheng are very suitable for growing cotton. What's more important is that most of the land is wasteland, which gave him a lot of space to use.

Listen to what he said.

Several people outside the warehouse have different expressions.

Butler Bai turned pale at first, and immediately became elated again.

Immersed in the great surprise that the cotton that can make the people of the Yong Dynasty completely escape from the cold was actually planted by him.

Lu Chuyi rolled his eyes as fast as an abacus, trying to figure out how big a deal this cotton thing was.

Chaoyun and Qiutang are purely curious.

Even though they knew that the emergence of cotton would bring huge waves to Yongchao, but these things had nothing to do with them.

Finish with excitement.

Lu Chengjie picked it up, and his fingertips touched Xie Anlan's.

He paused slightly, and quietly tapped on his fingertips while no one noticed.

Then pretending to be nonchalant, he picked up the remaining cotton.

Of course, Xie Anlan could feel the touch on her fingers, her phoenix eyes were raised, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, showing that she was in a good mood.

Others thought that Xie Anlan was happy about cotton, but Lu Chengjie knew it was not.

This kind of secret perception that only belonged to the two of them made Lu Chengjiao feel a different kind of joy in his heart.

He licked his lips unobtrusively, enjoying the joy of being alone with him.

After a while, he calmed down the excitement in his heart, and then he smiled lightly and said slowly, "Your Highness, although cotton has a great effect on our Yong Dynasty, it must have an even greater effect on Snow Country."

Xie Anlan's gaze had been on him all the time, listening to him now, she was even more focused.

After a slight astonishment, a gleam of light caught in front of his eyes.

A word to awaken the dreamer.

He was wondering what to use to coax his elder brother to give him the iron ore at ease.

With cotton, even if the two of them can't reach an agreement, it shouldn't be too tense.

Besides, the promotion of cotton planting can also involve several other brothers, which can be regarded as all their minds of wanting to make money.

Xie Anlan was overjoyed, pulled Lu Chengjia over and hugged him regardless of others.

"Jia, you are so...cute." Xie Anlan originally wanted to praise him, but when those words came to her lips, she changed them quietly.

Hugging in front of so many people, even though Lu Chengjiao had let go a lot recently, the tips of his ears still couldn't help turning red.

All the servants didn't dare to look directly at the gentle scene of the prince and concubine, they all smiled and turned their backs, leaving space for them.

Gao De, who came back alone, saw the two embracing each other, his eyes sank, he understood why the prince made such a request to him.

Because the cotton was picked in a hurry, and the people in the Yong Dynasty did not know the function of this new product.

Therefore, the cotton blossoms brought to the imperial capital have not yet been seeded.

Xie Anlan found some servants and ordered them to work harder to remove all the cotton seeds.

The cotton production of nearly [-] mu is huge, and hundreds of horse-drawn carts have been pulled, which is also a huge amount of work.

Fortunately, he was not in a hurry, he just let them do it.

The cotton seeds picked out of this kind of cotton cannot be lost, and can be used as seeds for sowing again.

Seeing those cotton seeds, Xie Anlan no longer felt sorry for the high price the system sold him.

In five days, the servants of the palace processed hundreds of catties of cotton.

Xie Anlan took the cotton, and asked someone to make some clothes with cotton as stuffing, and found some weavers for the family, and asked them to brainstorm to see if they could spin the cotton into cotton. Wire.

A month has passed, and Xie Anlan has been dealing with this cotton.

When I get up every day, I go to the study to deal with other things. If I have time in the afternoon or evening, I will come to the textile yard to see how the cotton is being spun.

The other is to go to the Artisan Academy to see if the artisans can pop out the cotton wool.

His skills on picking cotton were all seen in a comedy, and it is only because that comedy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that he can remember it to this day.

But I can only say a big deal, and the rest needs to be explored by the craftsmen themselves.

Do not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

A month later, relying on Xie Anlan's few words, they really figured out some techniques for picking cotton. Although it is not as good as the modern technology, it is not a problem to make the cotton soft and fluffy.

Even these craftsmen were inspired to make anti-beating for spinning cotton, which was operated by two people, one to remove the seeds and the other to twist the threads.

Efficiency and speed are greatly improved.

Xie Anlan was in the study, and was overjoyed to get the cotton thread and cotton coat they sent over, "Let the accountant give these two courtyards, and double the reward."

Xie Anlan has always been a generous person, never stingy with money for such useful people.

Stimulated by money, these craftsmen spin women will work harder.

Lu Chengjie stood beside Xie Anlan, silently looking at the cotton thread in his hand.

The white fingers passed by little by little, and then smiled with satisfaction, "Your Highness, this cotton is really a good thing. Compared with ramie, it is tougher and warmer, but it is not as precious as silk."

Seeing that he was interested, Xie Anlan twitched her fingers, stretched out her hand, grabbed his waist, and pulled him into her arms, letting him sit on his lap.

"Your Highness." Lu Chengjiao was startled.

He just saw the cotton products coming out, so he came to the study to have a look, and he had no other ideas.

"Don't move." Xie Anlan pressed his shoulder to calm him down.

Lu Chengjiao really didn't move.

Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, and picked up a bed of cotton batting from the side.

Sending it to him, hugging him, and smiling affectionately in his ear, "Are you worried about that popsicle recently?"

"Ah."

Sitting on Xie Anlan's lap in broad daylight, the door of the study was still open, outside the door stood the guard Gao De, and many servants passing by.

Being so close made Lu Chengjiao's breathing stagnate and the back of his ears turned red, but he still nodded when he heard Xie Anlan's words.

Last month, according to Xie Anlan's suggestion, he set up a school building, gathered many beggar children, provided them with food and drink, and let them do some things within their ability.

Tell them that the school building is not for them to eat and drink for free. If you don't want to be a beggar for the rest of your life, you must follow the literacy and learn the rules.

Those who study well don’t need to pay for the school building. If not, they have to work themselves to pay for the school building.

In this way, after a few years, these children can also have their own skills, so that they will not become beggars again after leaving the school building.

One month later, these children who have not had enough food all year round cherish the opportunity and learn well.

He just wanted to try Xie Anlan's method of selling popsicles. First, he could promote his ice shop, second, he could find something for these children to do, and third, he wanted to test the quality of these children.

He was doing good deeds, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of by raising a bunch of white-eyed wolves.

Children who pass the test can naturally stay in the school building, and those who fail will be given another chance to correct their mistakes, so don't blame him for being ruthless if he can't teach them the bad temper.

But he and the first day of the junior high school tried various methods, but none of them could keep the popsicles from melting for a long time.

According to Xie Anlan, these children should carry popsicles to the streets and alleys to sell them.

But there is only a little ice on the popsicles, and a child can only hold twenty or thirty sticks. This amount of ice will melt in half an hour under the scorching heat outside.

"You try to wrap it with this cotton wool." Xie Anlan pointed to the cotton wool on the table and said.

"No." Lu Chengjie shook his head, "It's too precious."

He could see how much Xie Anlan had worked so hard for these cotton these days.

How could he use such a precious thing to do such trifling things.

"Here, you take it." It's just a few catties of cotton, and this amount of cotton can't warm a few people, so it's not doing anything.

What's the point that even my own people can't enjoy what I have worked so hard to grow.

Before taking care of the world, you have to take care of yourself first.

Xie Anlan's tone was unquestionable. After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chengjiao nodded, "Okay, then I'll accept it."

"Well, I'm going to enter the palace later, and I may have a dispute with the emperor. No matter what happens at that time, don't panic and wait for me to come back." Xie Anlan took his hand and lowered her head. , explain it in detail.

Lu Chengjie's fingertips tightened suddenly, his brows twitched, and he uttered his objection for the first time, "Can't I not go?"

He has always supported Xie Anlan in whatever he does, because he is a high-ranking prince, as long as he does not rebel, no one in the world can do anything to him.

He does whatever he wants.

But this time when Lu Chengjie heard that he was going to have a dispute with the emperor, he panicked and knew that this was not a simple matter. Even if it was not related to the rebellion, it had nothing to do with the rebellion.

Lu Chengjie held his hand tightly, not wanting him to go.

"It's okay." Xie Anlan smiled lightly, clasped his fingers tightly, and comforted him, "Brother Huang won't do anything to me, I just want to tell you first, so that we don't get into trouble when something happens. position."

When Xie Anlan said so, Lu Chengjiao's heart still inevitably twitched.

"Your Highness," Lu Chengjiao called out, turned his head, and looked up at him. His eyes were moist, his nasal cavity was blocked, and his voice trembled unconsciously. "I don't want that ointment anymore. Don't enter the palace, okay?" good."

He knew that he worked so hard for him.

However, those physical pains were nothing compared to Xie Anlan's safety.

Others, others didn't come here like that.

It's just that he is so delicate.

Not worth it for him.

Seeing him like this for the first time, Xie Anlan was startled, and hurriedly hugged him, "What are you thinking, I... Of course I'm not for you, I'm... I'm for the people of Dayong, without you , I’m going to do this too.”

Xie Anlan hugged him and patted him on the back, "Don't worry, wait until I come back."

"Yes." Lu Chengjia knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he hugged Xie Anlan's shoulder and stood up from his arms, "Your Highness, wait for me later, I'll go get something."

As he spoke, he ran out in a hurry.

"My lord, the carriage is ready." Someone came to report just now, Gao De saw that the lord and concubine were hugging each other and talking, and didn't let him bother him.

Seeing that the princess ran out, he immediately stepped in to report.

"Well, you take these things and come out of the house with me." Xie Anlan got up and straightened his clothes, and let Gao De walk out of the study with a pile of cotton products on the table.

As soon as he left the house, he hadn't stepped into the carriage yet.

Lu Chengjiao ran out in a panic, holding an iron scroll in his hand.

"Your Highness, you take this."

He might have run a little too fast, out of breath, stuffed something into Xie Anlan's hands, bent down and gasped for breath.

"This is?" Xie Anlan turned over the iron scroll, only to find that it was a gold medal for avoiding death.

Lu Chengjie leaned on Xie Anlan's arm, bent down and gasped for a while, then raised his head, with a little sweat on his forehead, and gasping for breath when he spoke, "If... Your Highness, if you have any accidents, just tell me This Majesty."

Looking at him like this, I also know how anxious he was when he was looking for this thing just now.

Xie Anlan looked at the death-free gold medal in his hand, then at him who was panting, frowned, and tapped on it with his fingertips

I considered it in my heart.

He immediately picked him up and carried him into the carriage.

"Your Highness?" Lu Chengjia didn't realize what he was doing at all.

Xie Anlan put the man on the cushion of the carriage, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and said in a serious tone, "Come with me into the palace, if you die together, are you afraid?"

Lu Chengjiao smiled leisurely, his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, and he said with certainty, "I'm not afraid."

Rather than waiting to die in the palace, it is better to be with His Highness.

If there is something, it is good to take care of each other.

"laugh……"

Facing his smiling eyes, Xie Anlan couldn't help laughing, "I've never seen anyone who died happier than you."

"I've never seen anyone who is happier than His Highness when he dies." Lu Chengjiehao countered bluntly.

Xie Anlan glanced at him, "Smart teeth."

Not to be outdone, Lu Chengjie said, "Shameless."

"..."

When Lu Chuyi chased Lu Chengcai out of the palace, he found that the carriage in front of the palace had disappeared.

Stamped his feet angrily.

Just now the young master of their family found out the gold medal for avoiding death inherited from the Lu family, but he didn't know what to do with it.

It was handed down by the first founder of the Lu family, and no one has used it until now.

Their young master turned it over when he turned it over.

But the gold, silver and jewels were scattered all over the place, and the young master asked their young master to throw the coral and emeralds on the ground at will.

Now the courtyard where the young master's things are kept is already in disarray.

Those servants who guarded it all went crazy when they saw those valuable things.

Lu Chuyi was so angry that his heart ached, he jumped at the gate of Prince Chen's mansion, and yelled, "Prodigal, prodigal, what a prodigal."

He repeated that word over and over, and refused to say who was a prodigal, which made the concierge look at him differently.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Chuyi sensed that the concierge looked at him strangely, and stared fiercely, "I've never seen anyone swearing."

The concierge shrank his head from his stare.

Only then did Lu Chuyi relieve his anger and ran back, but don't let those servants touch those good things.

When he remembered that he was going back to face the emerald coral that was smashed by the young master, his heart ached again.

Chen Wang and his wife were in the carriage, making noise all the way into the palace, and the accompanying guards couldn't hold back their laughter.

I have never seen a quarrel, and the four-character idiom is bouncing up and down. I know it is a quarrel, and those who don’t know it think it is sex.

The two quarreled all the way into the palace, and when they saw Xie Cangming, they were still arguing.

"Ahem." Xie Cangming looked at the two younger brothers in front of him who were still flirting under his cover, put down the ink pen in his hand and coughed as a reminder.

Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao restrained themselves a little at this moment, and each took a step back.

"Brother Huang." Xie Anlan returned to normal, and bowed to Xie Cangming in a regular manner.

"Yeah." Xie Cangming raised his eyebrows, he couldn't help being a little surprised to see that Xie Anlan was kneeling and prostrating today.

Lu Chengjiao knelt beside Xie Anlan, his hands trembling slightly. Although the quarrel with Xie Anlan just relieved a little tension, it was about Xie Anlan's safety, and he couldn't act like a normal person.

Xie Anlan sensed his emotions, reached out to hold his hand, and comforted him silently.

The two knelt together, holding hands, their appearance and temperament were quite similar, and the clothes on their bodies were also one black and one white, as if they were a match made in heaven.

Xie Cangming pursed his lips and frowned, feeling a little displeased.

The young couple in love ran in front of him to worship and get married?

Who to bury.

When I don't have a wife?

"Biography..." Queen.

Xie Cangming's words came to his lips, and Xie Anlan who was kneeling at the head suddenly said, "Brother Huang, I have something to explain to Brother Huang that I am here this time."

"What's the matter?" Xie Cangming frowned, his eyes flicked slightly between the two.

The fingers under the imperial table tapped unconsciously, not knowing what to guess.

"Brother Huang, do you still remember the land that I bet with Brother Fifth at the last family banquet?" Xie Anlan raised his head and looked at Xie Cangming.

"Remember." Xie Cangming's unconscious knocking hand stopped, his sharp eyebrows paused, and his thin lips said slowly.

"Yeah." Xie Anlan nodded, gave Lu Chengjiao a reassuring look, and said unhurriedly, "My brother discovered a large amount of iron ore under that piece of land, and now that piece of land has belonged to me. Brother, I also ask Brother Huang to complete it."

Xie Cangming frowned, as if digesting the information Xie Anlan said.

Seeing him like this, Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjia who were at the bottom couldn't help feeling tense.

The main reason is that Xie Cangming's reaction was too abnormal.

Shouldn't ordinary people be very excited to hear that there are a lot of iron ore?

Especially in the Yong Dynasty, a dynasty that could use iron as money.

As a qualified emperor, shouldn't the first reaction be to take it as state-owned?

When hearing that a prince like him wants iron ore, shouldn't the first reaction be, boldly, do you want to rebel?

As a result, Xie Cangming frowned slightly, his eyes drooping, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Perhaps it was because Xie Cangming felt that his reaction was a little slow, and it took a long time before he slowly said a word, "Oh."

Oh what do you mean! ?

Xie Anlan looked at Xie Cangming completely confused.

"That's it?" Seeing Xie Anlan's puzzled eyes, Xie Cangming asked back.

"Yeah," Xie Anlan responded, feeling even more confused, "What else?"

"Understood." Xie Cangming looked at his tightly held hands again, lowered his eyes, and lightly nodded.

"???"

This thoughtless conversation made Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjia question marks over their heads.

"It's okay, you can go back." Xie Cangming didn't want to watch them show their affection now, "I'm going to approve the memorial."

"The iron ore..."

Xie Anlan really couldn't figure out what was going on in Xie Cangming's mind, so she asked again with trepidation.

Before he finished asking, Xie Cangming's dignified voice came faintly.

"To you."

That casual tone seemed to be a trivial matter.

"Brother Huang is not afraid of my rebellion?" Xie Anlan's heart was stuck in his throat. Although he was happy when Xie Cangming said it would be his, his reason told him that it was too early.

As soon as Xie Anlan uttered this rebellious word, all the maids kneeling inside and outside the Jinghua Palace were as quiet as cicadas.

"Then did you make it?" Xie Cangming asked softly without getting angry.

Xie Anlan felt that he must be crazy, why did he hear some excitement from Xie Cangming's tone.

"No."

Xie Anlan shook his head, he was full, he would not be a happy prince, he would be a tired emperor.

Look at the emperor brother in front of him who has to get up to go to the court every day before the hour, and has to keep approving memorials during the day. To prevent their younger brothers from rebelling, they can't leave the imperial capital for the rest of their lives, and they haven't even seen the scenery outside the imperial capital.

He drank too much before rebelling.

Besides, Xie Cangming, the imperial brother, is also pretty good.

"Oh." A look of deep disappointment flashed in Xie Cangming's eyes, he responded, and stopped talking.

Xie Anlan scratched her head, this didn't follow the routine, and all the excuses he had prepared were aborted, which made her uncomfortable.

"By the way, brother emperor, my brother discovered a product called cotton in Yicheng. Although the cotton thread made from it is not as smooth as silk, it is rare to keep warm." Xie Anlan asked a servant to put him in the The cotton products outside the hall were brought up.

Only then did Xie Cangming restrain his indifferent attitude, and checked them one by one with great interest.

Xie Anlan originally wanted to wait until Xie Cangming disagreed before throwing out the cotton, but he didn't accept the move, so now he can only take it out directly.

Hey, wronged Cotton.

"Not bad." Xie Cangming felt good after reading them one by one. He nodded, and his tone softened a little, "I will ask the Ministry of Accounts to contact you for the follow-up promotion and seeding."

"I heard that brother Huang is worrying about state affairs recently, and I have a plan." With eyes and ears, Xie Anlan has a better understanding of the current situation.

Recently, Yong Dynasty has attracted the attention of other countries because of his frequent operations, especially the gunpowder issue, which has made other countries fearful.

As for the Yong dynasty's wars every year, although it has won a few battles, it is at the end of its strength. If other countries join forces to attack Yong, the Yong dynasty will not be able to support it even if it has the Fire Kingdom.

Recently, the court has quarreled several times over this matter. Xie Anlan has the courage to talk about the iron mine today because of this plan.

Under Xie Cangming's approving gaze, Xie Anlan spoke frankly, "As we all know, the Snow Country is bitterly cold. They live in a freezing environment. Apart from survival, it is also difficult to prevent the cold. Why don't you use this cotton to form an alliance with the Snow Country. "

Why choose Snow Country, because there is no way to grow cotton in Snow Country, and neither can the Grassland Department. The climate of Chu Country is barely feasible, but it is obviously impossible for them to give up farming the food they depend on for survival. The only one that can supply large quantities of Snow Country , only they Yongchao.

The vast land and abundant resources of the Yong Dynasty are both a disadvantage and an advantage.

In order to prevent the cold, the Snow Country will definitely not refuse this condition, even if they know that in the later stage, the Yong Dynasty is likely to use cotton control to control their country.

But they have no choice, because only by keeping warm and cold can the people of their Snow Country grow stronger and not be inferior to other countries, otherwise what awaits them is their own destruction.

Xie Anlan didn't know whether his suggestion would be adopted by Xie Cangming, anyway, when they walked out of the palace.

Both of them had a feeling of dumbfounding.

The supposed crisis turned out to be nonexistent, and this was nothing.

When the two of them went to bed at night, they were still a little sleepless.

Xie Anlan always felt that something was wrong with Xie Cangming, but she couldn't think of anything wrong.

Lu Chengjie was so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep, he and His Highness hadn't seen each other for a month...

He wanted it with his heart, but thinking of so many things that happened today, he felt that it was inappropriate in his heart.

The two thoughts were at odds in his heart, and after a long discussion, he sighed faintly, and was about to get up and take a shower to get rid of the dryness on his body.

Xie Anlan watched him turn around for a long time, suppressing a smile at the end of her eyes, and waited for him to speak, but in the end, after waiting and waiting, he got up and left.

"Come here." Xie Anlan fished him over.

The meaning is self-evident.

Lu Chengjie pushed him blankly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, save money."

Xie Anlan hugged him, and gently walked his fingers around him.

"I won't go in." Xie Anlan paused, raised the corners of his lips, his eyebrows and eyes were charming, "It can satisfy you too."

The next moment, a pair of big and warm hands with distinct joints wrapped him, and Lu Chengjiao felt a tremor in his head instantly.
