- Master Lu was found. .
Master Lu is a bit of a research maniac. After asking, he didn¡¯t know anything about the recent cotton promotion.
It may be that this matter has not spread yet, or it may be that he really does not care about foreign affairs.
Li Chengqian asked him to pass on a message, and soon Duan Lun came to Li Chengqian's east palace.
Looking at his forehead covered with sweat, September is almost over and the weather has begun to slowly cool down. There is still so much sweat on his head. I don¡¯t know if he has traveled a long way here or is busy with something. So busy!
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Duan, please sit down and drink some water!" Li Chengqian consoled him.
Duan Lun touched the sweat on his head and said, "Your Highness, don't you dare. I came here after hearing His Highness's message. Regarding the cotton promotion that Your Highness is concerned about, I'm afraid it will have to slow down for a while."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment.
Hearing what he said, it means things are not going smoothly.
So what's going on?
"Impossible, Lao Li agreed, why are things still not going well?"
"Why?" Li Chengqian asked.
Duan Lun said: "The ministers in the three provinces have not yet reached a consensus, so the promotion matter has not yet been issued."
"Didn't my father agree? If the officials in these three provinces don't agree, there must be a very good reason. I don't know what it is?" Li Chengqian asked.
Duan Lun thought of those ministers who were stuck in promoting cotton, and it was hateful, and said: "The ministers of Zhao Guogong's faction said that if cotton takes up the land, it will rob the land of food, and the food will not be enough for people. How can we use grain land to grow cotton?¡±
"Didn't I say that cotton won't take away food land?" Li Chengqian said.
Duan Lun nodded and said, "I feel the same way. But Zhao Guogong said, if you don't plant it now, how do you know that you don't occupy the grain field? This minister can't come up with a good way, and he also said, even if you don't occupy the grain field, , but this cotton is so good, if everyone comes to plant cotton in the future, then all the fields will be planted with cotton, which will also take up the food fields!"
"Isn't this just looking for trouble, making something out of nothing!" Li Chengqian felt depressed to death for a moment, "Even if you have a grain field, you can't ignore the importance of cotton, and you can also use laws to stipulate the permission to grow cotton. In this way , we can control the problem of cotton not occupying food fields. Isn¡¯t this deliberately slowing down the promotion time?¡±
The planting time of cotton is in spring and March, which is still a long time, so there is no need to rush.
However, Li Chengqian felt that things that would have gone smoothly were stuck here, which would make him uncomfortable. The person who stuck him was Changsun Wuji.
The last time he took down Changsun Wuji¡¯s housekeeper, this also made the two of them slowly develop into secret enemies, so if he is blocking himself now, isn¡¯t it just to express a sense of fighting?
Li Chengqian took a breath, calmed down, and asked: "Duan Shangshu, from your perspective, what will be the final outcome of this cotton promotion?"
Li Chengqian wanted to know if he was stuck like this, whether it would be dragged on forever or whether he would be cut off in the end.
"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have paid special attention to food. Any matter that conflicts with food and fertile land will be compromised. Anything that affects food output will be stopped! If this matter is serious, say , or it may be stopped!" Duan Lun said.
Being stopped was naturally the last thing Li Chengqian wanted to see. He thought for a while and said: "The reason why Duke Zhao, my uncle, stopped it was because of people's livelihood issues. He was afraid that the food fields would be occupied and the people in the world would not be hungry. tummy, then we can find another reason so that he can¡¯t refute it!¡±
Duan Lun suddenly looked at Li Chengqian curiously.
Is there anything greater than Changsun Wuji¡¯s reason for people¡¯s livelihood?
"Yes, the military is ready for war!" Li Chengqian smiled confidently.
After he said this, he asked Duan Lun to go back first while he went to find Li Jing.
Speaking of the military god Li Jing, Li Chengqian remembered what happened to his grandson, Li Yexu, a few days ago. Li Chengqian asked Shuaiguo to talk to him and let him convey Wu Zhao's meaning. The little girl doesn't like you disturbing her every day. , you should not go there again.
This is a rejection of his pursuit. Li Chengqian believes that after Li Yexu receives it, he will understand and will not go again.
Li Chengqian didn't need to go to Li Jing's house. He saw him when he arrived at the Ministry of War, stopped him, and talked about cotton.
Li Jing nodded after listening and said: "It is true that His Highness brought up cotton at that time because of the incident in Goguryeo.Clothes made of cotton are very warm and can keep soldiers in the cold Northeast! "
Fortunately, Li Jing still remembered that Li Chengqian smiled confidently and said: "So, is this considered a combat readiness resource for the military? Such a thing may be used to fight Goguryeo in a few years or more than ten years, but it was stopped. Then how can we defeat Goguryeo?"
Li Jing's face was very calm, and he was not excited by Li Chengqian's words, and said: "Your Highness, you must be cautious when attacking Goguryeo. However, many places in the Tang Dynasty are in cold areas, and the soldiers there are suffering from the cold, so , I support His Highness¡¯s promotion plan!¡±
Li Chengqian smiled.
After getting Li Jing¡¯s consent, he contacted other military personnel and had a dispute with Changsun Wuji in the morning meeting the next day.
Although national defense security is above all else, the role of cotton is only one of them. Without cotton, wouldn¡¯t there still be the down jacket proposed by Li Chengqian?
However, the power of the military cannot be kept quiet. In the end, both parties agreed that the planting of cotton would only be used for military purposes for the time being.
The cotton planting fields are selected by the military themselves and then submitted to the three provinces for review and approval before they can be planted.
Looking at this situation, people in the three provinces are not willing to plant too much at once, so they have to review it. If too many acres are submitted, they will cut it down.
But it can be planted as a test field. It doesn¡¯t matter how small the acres are. After the cotton is planted, it will start to be made into clothes. After it is promoted and used in the army, of course, some people will disperse. For example, Li Chengqian will do it if he is not a soldier. Use it once, and also give it away to relatives and friends. In this way, everyone will see the benefits of cotton, and they will naturally promote cotton from military use to civilian use!
"Gong Wei, I want to negotiate a business deal with you!" Li Chengqian stopped Li Jing and said with a smile.
When Li Jing saw Li Chengqian¡¯s appearance, he knew he was here to take advantage, and asked with a smile: ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Your Highness?¡±
"Although the military has enough manpower to plant cotton, doesn't it require land and skilled farmers? It would be troublesome for the army. I happen to have land there, so I contracted it!" Li Chengqian said.
