Chapter 245 Yizhou Transformation

Chapter 250 Seven Changes in Yizhou
"The value of cotton is not as high as you imagined. It is just an ordinary weaving item. When cotton is produced in large quantities, its value is actually similar to that of grain.

But now it seems that Qingzhou is more suitable for growing cotton, but you don't have to worry, the military will give you a suitable price, which will definitely not be lower than the price of fine grain. "Chen Ziming had to remind Wang Kai and others.

The value of cotton is indeed not high, but it is scarce now, and the rarest is the most expensive thing. Once cotton is planted in a large area, it will not be precious.

"After you go back, immediately select someone who is good at growing cotton, write down the method of growing cotton, distribute it everywhere, and sell it to merchants. There is no need to keep it secret." Chen Ziming did not keep secrets about the production technology of agricultural products. Anyone who can learn it will learn it. , Whoever loves to learn can come to learn, it doesn't matter, the more you learn, the better.

For Chen Ziming's attitude, many high-ranking officials under Liu Bei were puzzled, and some even suggested to Liu Bei that this technology should be kept strictly secret, so as not to make the hostile forces too powerful.

Liu Bei also asked what Chen Ziming meant, and Chen Ziming said that food is the first thing for the people, leaving Liu Bei speechless.

How could Chen Ziming not know that once these technologies are spread, the power of the princes from all walks of life in the world will definitely increase, because once they have no shortage of food, they will fight more unscrupulously and can recruit more soldiers.

But after the common people learn these technologies, they can produce more food, and in addition to handing over to the government, they can leave more food, enough for them to live.

With the basis of survival, who is willing to serve as a soldier and fight, and who is willing to wander around and become a bandit.

To put it bluntly, with the improvement of production technology and the increase of food, the princes have enough food, so they will not oppress the people at all costs. In this way, it is easier for the people to survive in this troubled world.

In the process of unifying the world, it is inevitable that the number of young people in the whole country will be greatly reduced. What Chen Ziming can do is to save as many people as possible.

After Chen Ziming inspected the cotton planting situation in Lu County, he was very satisfied. Later, Hou ordered that a large area of ​​cotton be planted in Qingzhou starting next year, and the military department came forward to sign the purchase contract.

At the same time, a cotton-padded garment factory was established. As for the delicate work, such as how to process the cotton and how to weave cloth, etc., it was done by professionals, and Chen Ziming didn't understand. The only thing he needed to do was to create conditions for the promotion of cotton-padded garments.

Because of the abundant cotton harvest in Qingzhou, many businessmen saw business opportunities and began to grow cotton to make cotton clothes for sale.

All over the country followed Qingzhou to grow cotton, but not all of them were suitable for growing cotton, and the cotton was not as valuable as in the legend. Those places that were not suitable for growing cotton began to give up this unrealistic idea.

However, cotton-padded clothes are gradually becoming popular all over the world, and many people can wear comfortable cotton-padded clothes. Chen Ziming believes that in the near future, linen clothes will be eliminated by the common people, and people will wear more comfortable and warm cotton-padded clothes. At the same time, quilts and other warm clothes Bedding will enter the lives of ordinary people.

"Ziming, urgent report from Yizhou, Liu Yan died of a sore on his back, and his son Liu Zhang took over Yizhou herdsman." Chen Ziming, who was having fun in various parts of Qingzhou, received Liu Bei's urgent call and hurried back to Linzi When Liu Bei saw Chen Ziming's first sentence, Chen Ziming was taken aback.

Liu Yan finally died. Although there was a slight discrepancy with the historical records, the impact was not great. Liu Yan was able to persist until now. It should be the result of the arrival of Chen Ziming, which has improved the medical skills of this era. You must know the students of Linzi Medical College It has already blossomed everywhere in the big man, and it is not a problem for Liu Yan and other dignitaries to raise a few capable doctors.

"Brother, although Liu Yan has gone, his son continues to recognize Yizhou Mu, and Liu Zhang's remnant prestige is still there. There are many loyal and brave people around Liu Zhang. Yizhou is dangerous, and there are brave generals guarding all directions. It will not be lost for a while. "Chen Ziming was telling Liu Bei to let Liu Bei develop his strength with peace of mind, and Liu Zhang was still guarding Yizhou for him.

Not everyone can win Yizhou now, even if it is Cao Cao, I am afraid that he does not have the ability to win Yizhou. Yizhou was made impenetrable by Liu Yan. Without internal support, if you want to win Yizhou , Among the princes of the world, there is still no such person to be found.

Even the current Liu Bei can't do it. It's not a bragging that the road to Shu is difficult to reach the blue sky. There are countless dangerous passes in Yizhou.

That's why Chen Ziming tried his best to attract Zhang Song, who had a weird mind, so that when Zhang Song wanted to sentence Liu Zhang, Liu Bei was the first thing he thought of, not Cao Cao.

Now that history has changed drastically, Chen Ziming can't guarantee that Zhang Song will not be reused by Cao Cao if he goes to Cao Cao's place. Once Zhang Song leads Cao Cao's army into Yizhou, then with Cao Cao's ability, Liu Bei will have nothing to do in Yizhou.

"Ziming, I want to send someone to commemorate Liuzhou Mu's great funeral. I don't know who is suitable?" Liu Bei is very embarrassed now. It stands to reason that it is most appropriate for Liu Bei to go to Yizhou to mourn Liu Yan, a royal official like him.

But now that Liu Bei is already a hero, there are many people who want to get rid of him. Without the protection of hundreds of thousands of troops, Liu Bei dare not leave his territory at all.

Apart from Liu Bei, Chen Ziming, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are the most suitable three.But Liu Bei would never let Chen Ziming go. There are as many people in the world who want to get rid of Chen Ziming as there are people who want to get rid of him.

As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei was also reluctant, mainly because he didn't want them to take risks. After all, the journey was long and they had to pass through several powerful feudal territories, and a little carelessness would bring death.

What Liu Bei could think of, Chen Ziming also thought of. Among Liu Bei's four brothers, one must go to show enough respect for Liu Yan, so that Yizhou can double his favor for Liu Bei's power.

"Brother, how about..." Before Chen Ziming finished speaking, Liu Bei raised his hand to stop Chen Ziming from continuing.

"Don't be so thoughtful. You have no strength to restrain a chicken. How can you take a risky journey. I will let my second brother go to Yizhou Yitang for me." After Liu Bei thought about it, only Guan Yu was suitable, and Zhang Fei was the first. Liu Bei was excluded, and he and Chen Ziming couldn't leave, so there was only the brave second brother Guan.

"Since this is the case, let General Gao Shun lead [-] soldiers to go together, and at the same time let the dark guards be responsible for the safety along the way, and the shadow guards will follow quietly, just in case.

At the same time, the army stationed in Peijun, Yuzhou, and Jinan, Qingzhou, so that the princes from all walks of life could not move lightly. "Chen Ziming has no other good way, but can only use threats to ensure Guan Yu's safety.

"My father led the army to Xuzhou to wait for my second brother to return. If anyone dares to use force against my second brother, my hundreds of thousands of troops will fight to the death." Liu Bei's eyes were cold, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were definitely Liu Bei's bottom line.
