Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 90 Anti-diagnostic Cotton Gin

Jiang Xuanhui paid homage: "My minister Jiang Xuanhui pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Ye said: "Who is your minister?"

Jiang Xuanhui said: "The minister is the minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Ye asked Niu Hui, "Does the Ministry of Officials have appointments?"

Niu Hui replied: "No!"

Li Ye said: "Since I have not been appointed, how come the minister of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Shilang, what crime should I have for deceiving the emperor?"

Zhang Jun said: "If you bully the king, you should be executed!"

Jiang Xuanhui was shocked, and said: "Your Majesty, the official position was given by Xuanwu Jiedu envoy Zhu Quanzhong, and he is really a minister of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Ye said: "What right does the bandit Zhu Wen have to give you an official position? I forgive you for coming from afar and not taking your life. Come here, drag him out and slap him a hundred times."

"promise!"

Two Qianniu bodyguards dragged Jiang Xuanhui out, thundering, twitching wildly, and after a while, dragged him back to the hall like a dead dog.

Li Ye said: "The first emperor bestowed Zhu Wen with 'full loyalty' and gave him the post of envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu. The bandit Zhu Wen didn't want to repay the king's kindness, he didn't want to repay the court, and he committed treason.

Let me go back and tell you that I want Zhu Wen to withdraw from Huazhou and Zhengerzhou and retreat to Xuanwu Town. "

Several of Jiang Xuanhui's front teeth were knocked out, and his speech leaked out.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Jieshuai is loyal to the imperial court and has no intention of rebelling. The assassination of Duke Du has nothing to do with Xuanwu?"

Li Ye said: "I don't believe it!"

The imperial court has the right to speak. If you, Zhu Wen, don't show some sincerity, wouldn't it be whimsical to want the imperial court to change their minds.

At this time, Zhu Wen didn't have any extra money and food. The little Xuanwu had already raised an army of [-] to [-], and the income from the autumn harvest last year was less than [-]% of the previous year. About to drink the northwest wind.

Enduring the pain, Jiang Xuanhui thought to himself: "If Jieshuai doesn't defeat Li Keyong, the imperial court will not change their words. This slap is really unfair."

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuanhui said: "The grassroots Jiang Xuanhui resigns, please allow your majesty."

Li Ye waved his hand and didn't speak.

Jiang Xuanhui walked out of the palace gate, frowning tightly. He couldn't go back at this time, so he sent someone to report the affairs of the court to Zhu Wen, and then sat and waited for the battle in Heyang.

But on Guanghuafang East Street, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"It's Jing Xiang, why is he here!"

Jiang Xuanhui rushed to meet him, it was true.

Jiang Xuanhui followed Jing Xiang and said, "Jing Si Nong is safe and sound!"

Jing Xiang turned around, saw Jiang Xuanhui's bruised nose and swollen face, and said in embarrassment, "Why is Jiang Sima so embarrassed?"

Jiang Xuanhui let out a long sigh, and said, "It's hard to explain in one word, but there is a place for respecting Sinong."

Jing Xiang cupped his hands and said, "There is a restaurant here, Jiang Sima please!"

"Please!"

The restaurant is called Songhe Tower, it has two floors, the ground floor is for dine-in, and there are more than a dozen tables.

Jiang Xuanhui sighed: "Jie Shuai respects Si Nong very much, I don't know why Si Nong is here."

Jing Xiang said: "There is a sudden change, I just beg to live."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuanhui knew that Jingxiang had surrendered to the imperial court. In order to survive, he had nothing to blame, so he said tentatively: "Jieshuai treats the public very kindly. The ancients said that he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han Dynasty. Jieshuai is struggling at this time. It's really respectful." It's time for you to do your best!"

It is a big taboo for people and ministers to serve two masters. Jing Xiang has never thought about Zhu Wen's affairs. Even if he thinks about it, he warns himself that Zhu Wen was also a minister of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and his allegiance to Zhu Wen is also his allegiance to the Tang Dynasty.

Listening to Jiang Xuanhui's words at this time, Jing Xiang's heart also felt a little turbulent, after all, it was Zhu Wen who lifted him up and obeyed him when he was at his worst.

But before he could feel emotion, the figure of an enchanting woman appeared in front of his eyes. Thinking that this woman was called his continuation wife, but Zhu Wen was riding on his crotch, Jing Xiang's face turned red.

Humiliate the ancestors!
Jing Xiang shook his head again and again.

This scene was all seen by Jiang Xuanhui.

"Jing Shuai will definitely not blame Si Nong for enduring humiliation and survival. If he can make meritorious deeds, he can also repay Jie Shuai's kindness."

"This……"

…………

How did Jiang Xuanhui know, Jingxiang then reported the matter to the emperor.

Li Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, and suddenly had an idea, and said to Jing Xiang: "Aiqing, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Mengde had a counselor named Jiang Gan. This Jiang Xuanhui and that Jiang Gan are both surnamed Jiang."

"Your Majesty... want to use that countermeasure?"

Li Ye nodded and said: "I heard that Zhu Wen was suspicious. In the past, it would have been difficult to figure it out. Now that Zhu Zhen's incident happened, I expect Zhu Wen to be more suspicious. If we can make him lose one or two generals, it is like cutting him off." Arms too."

"Your Majesty's magic calculation, I also think it is feasible."

Li Ye said: "Aiqing is more familiar with Zhu Wen's generals who can fight. I don't ask for punishment. It is also a great achievement to be able to use Zhu Wen. At this time, Aiqing should have full power to supervise it."

"promise!"

After Jing Xiang stepped back, the servant Zhao Xi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have searched the whole of Chang'an, and found more than five hundred catties of cotton. Your Majesty, do you want to go and have a look?"

The superiors are good, and the subordinates are all trying to please them. Li Ye knows why the emperors of all dynasties like eunuchs so much. This is really considerate!
"Go and see!"

"Let's drive, Linde Hall!"

After a while, Li Ye arrived at Linde Hall.

"His Majesty!"

"Concubine Shu is here too!"

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten where the servants are from!"

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Concubine Shu's hometown is in Xichuan, how could I not know."

Concubine He Shu smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, we women in Sichuan are all good at spinning and weaving, even cotton can't trouble our servants."

Li Ye smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case, Zhao Xi, where is Mian Mian!"

After a while, Zhao Xi asked people to carry several large wooden boxes.

Once it was opened, it was undoubtedly cotton, and the quality was whiter than that of Hu Shang's before.

Concubine He Shu picked up a pinch, touched it, and frowned slightly.

"There are seeds inside?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "Concubine Shu has a good way to separate the seed kernel from the cotton?"

Concubine He Shu frowned slightly, took the cotton in her hand, tested the strength of the cotton fibers, then pinched the cotton seeds, and tore the cotton off, then smiled at Li Ye: "Your Majesty, what is so difficult about this."

Li Ye frowned.

"Juan'er, go get a comb!"

"promise"

After a while, she fetched a wooden comb, and Concubine He Shufei removed the teeth of the comb one by one, just enough to catch the cottonseed.

Press the wooden comb against the cotton ball, and pull the cotton directly with the other hand. After several times, you can only see a few smooth cotton seeds pressed behind the wooden comb.

"That's fine too!"

Li Ye thought about it, isn't ginning just trying to find a way to tear the cotton off the cottonseed?
If you use a cylinder with teeth on it to simulate human hands pulling cotton, and then use another barrel to simulate a brush with suitable materials to brush off the cottonseed, isn't this a flower binding machine?

"Your Majesty, how is it?"

Li Ye laughed and said, "My concubine has helped me a lot."
