Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 249 Side Effects

Seriously, Li Erzhen can't be regarded as a filial son.When it comes to this topic, the most important thing not to be mentioned is the change of Xuanwu Gate.From the end of the Shang Dynasty to the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, until the Revolution of [-], most of China's succession followed the principle of "establishing a son for the elder and not for the virtuous, and establishing a son for the noble and not for the elder".

It's not bad that Li Er is a legitimate son, but his elder brother is also a legitimate son, and he is the eldest son!Li Yuan has made great achievements, but as the founding king of the country, he did not dare to risk the disgrace of the world and let Li Er become the prince by surpassing Li Jiancheng!So after he ascended the throne, he confirmed Li Jiancheng's crown prince.

Compared to Li Jiancheng, Li Er felt that he was at a disadvantage. At the beginning of the dynasty change, military exploits were the most important thing. His military exploits were outstanding. Why should he be a prince when his elder brother is the emperor?In fact, the younger brothers under Li’s second hand also feel that they are at a loss. Let’s switch to Li Jiancheng now. They may not be willing to take it. Could it be that they will only be aides for the rest of their lives?Definitely not reconciled!So they "reminded" Li Er intentionally or unintentionally, so Li Er got fussy.

Li Jiancheng would guard against Li Er, but until the day of Li Er's mutiny, he never thought that his own brother would directly shoot him with an arrow!Li Jiancheng has always been on guard against Li Er because he bought people's hearts, not his own life, because he knows that once Li Er kills himself, his father will definitely hold Li Er accountable. Li Er would not end well, but he miscalculated Li Er's wrist!

Li Er is deeply aware of the truth of wealth and danger, so he gave himself a reason - his elder brother wants to poison him!Needless to say next, the Xuanwumen Change is staged vigorously!

No matter how stupid Li Jiancheng is, he would not attack Li Er when he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. When he ascended the throne, how could he rub Li Er?Could it be that Li Er would rebel in name at that time?To take a step back, even if he really wanted to poison his brother, would he let him drink the poisoned wine and run out?Why don't you use some more powerful poison? Li Jiancheng, who is the prince of a country, can't think about things that 2B youth can think about?Therefore, the Xuanwu Gate incident was simply a coup created by Li Er out of nothing!
The wine was drunk, the blood was vomited, and the person was killed. Li Er has not quit now. Could it be possible to come to plead guilty?If this is the case, waiting for the best outcome for oneself is also a life imprisonment!It took so much effort, not for that seat?Therefore, Li Yuan said helplessly that he was old and weak, let Erlang take this seat!

As smart as Li and Li, after sitting on the throne, what they need to do is not to enjoy luxury. The first thing to do is to improve people's livelihood and increase national strength as soon as possible!Only when the common people live well, can he take off the hat of dishonesty and reputation, so judging from the current state, Li Er is still a good emperor.

As for how to be a good emperor, just look at his cousin, Li Er knows—to treat the common people kindly and develop national strength, more labor is needed, so Li Er redeemed all the population of the Central Plains occupied by the Turks, and returned He gave himself a good reputation of valuing people's livelihood, but as for whether he really paid Turkic gold and silk, and how much he paid, no one pursued it.According to Li Er's temperament, it would be fine not to ask for tribute from Turks, but you still have the face to ask me for money?It's very possible.

On the way back to the palace, Li Er didn't think about how to trick Goguryeo to obtain labor, but was just thinking about the "side effect" that Jin Yu casually said!The more I think about it, the more I think it is possible. This side effect is not poisonous, but a veritable medicine for tigers and wolves!It’s okay to drink some in good health, but what if a weak person drinks it?If the attack is excessive, it is estimated that it will die soon, right?
The side effects are good!It was this tiger penis wine with side effects that revived Qin Qiong's glory, and made Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie blossom again.If this result spreads out, I'm afraid it will be snapped up like crazy, right?I drink this stuff myself, so it can't be said to be poisonous, right?Is it filial piety to dedicate this wine to my father?If you have more younger brothers and sisters and treat them kindly, you can also show your magnanimity, right?If his father drank too much and flew away, he couldn't blame himself for being too filial, right?Could it be that he didn't pay attention?Even if there are no side effects, at least it can reflect your filial piety, right?Nothing to lose!
Li Er thinks this trick is good, which imperial doctor dare to say that there are side effects?The effect is here!Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie showed their own experiences, and the side effects are not something you can say casually!Furthermore, if he sent people to find dead tigers for Jin Guitang, would he still make tiger whip wine?At that time, even the brave imperial doctor can't find a sample even if he tries to get to the bottom of it!

Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but feel complacent, and almost laughed out loud.

Jin Yu didn't know that what he said casually made Li Er feel evil.Even if Jin Yu really found out, it was just a sigh, who made Li Er a hero?

While Li Er was calculating the side effects, Jin Yu also experienced a "side effect" - Qin Huaiyu came to the door with a problem!
Qin Huaiyu didn't expect that a simple piece of cotton would be related to his marriage.It is difficult to be a son-in-law, and he knows it in his heart.At the beginning, he saw all of Yuzhang, although it was rude, but he was short-sighted after all, and his father was carrying it, so this matter could barely be uncovered.At that time, my brother-in-law didn't get glasses for himself, but that misty look touched Qin Huaiyu's restless heart, and he was tempted!

In order to perfectly complete the tasks entrusted to him by his future father-in-law, Qin Huaiyu really worked hard, but the cotton is not just planted, and the next step is to remove the seeds``````Qin Huaiyu is this evil seed removal The stuck link got stuck, and he really couldn't think of a way to quickly get the annoying white catkins off the seeds. For this matter, he scratched a lot of hair, but fortunately, he kept it long these days Hair, otherwise the forehead will really become "the city surrounded by the countryside".

"Brother-in-law, you must have a solution, right?" Qin Huaiyu held the cotton bought from Sinong Temple in both hands, looked at Jin Yu hopefully and asked, for fear that Jin Yu would give him a negative answer.

"Let me think about this `````` first." Jin Yu took the cotton from Qin Huaiyu's hand, put the cotton on the stone table, pointed to the reclining chair next to him, and asked Qin Huaiyu to sit down first.

Cotton deseed, this really doesn't match up with my life.In rural areas, the small-scale farming economy is the mainstream. Many families grow some cotton to a greater or lesser extent. After picking, it is usually taken to the processing workshop to remove the seeds.Although Jin Yu said that he followed Grandpa Tang's ass to see it when he was a child, but the cotton gin was surrounded by iron sheets, and Jin Yu didn't understand how it worked!What's more, was it purely for fun?When it comes to processing cotton wool, Jin Yu can still say one, two, three, after all, people who play cotton will not seal themselves in the room and not let them see.

"Can't you tear it with your hands?" Jin Yu thought for a while, but he had no idea, and asked Qin Huaiyu to scoop up a bowl of shaved ice.

"It's too slow. It's okay to say at 01:30. Hundreds of fields are planted at once. If you remove the seeds by hand, you can't finish it in a year." Qin Huaiyu shook his head distressedly.

"It's a bit slow." Jin Yu nodded in agreement. If the seeds were removed by hand, and the cotton was plucked, the labor on Qinjiazhuang would not have to be done. Just sing "Pluck Cotton" with a large slingshot, but the scene will probably be very spectacular. It would be a good idea to do some tourism and sightseeing projects.

"Removing the seeds by hand, are you sure you can't do it?" Jin Yu shook his head and threw the idea of ​​traveling out of his mind, trying to pull the cotton wool from the cotton seeds with both hands.

"I can't." Seeing Jin Yu shaking his head, Qin Huaiyu was a little disappointed, "Don't wait, I can't stand it after a long time. Look at my little brother's fingers, they are swollen after only an hour of pinching, and the nails are still painful. .”

"Have you consulted the officials of Sinong Temple? Do they have any good solutions?" Jin Yu was not interested in holding the hand of a big man to watch. If someone saw him, he would think he had a special habit, and finally calmed down. With the rumors about Qingxiazi, Jin Yu doesn't want to spread any more gossip.

"I asked." Qin Huaiyu nodded affirmatively, but the sadness on his face remained undiminished, "They have nothing to do, the palace has always been used to grow flowers, and never thought of making clothes with this stuff. Many cotton seeds are planted directly without picking the cotton wool, because it is too difficult to remove the seeds.”

"Where's the gardener? Or is there anyone who grows?" Jin Yu asked after listening.

"I've asked all of them, and no one knows how to do it other than removing the seeds by hand." Qin Huaiyu was in pain, as if Yuzhang was about to say goodbye to him, and scratched his scalp several times with both hands.

"What about the people of Gaochang? Gaochang plants so many cotton fields every year, it's impossible to remove the seeds by hand, right?" Jin Yu asked Qin Huaiyu after thinking about it.

"I asked, and there are more than one. According to them, the younger brother asked a carpenter to make a utensil, but it is not easy to use. Even if you are proficient in using it, it can replace the appearance of three laborers removing seeds by hand at most. Not enough." Speaking of this, Qin Huaiyu looked a little better, "If it really doesn't work, I can only make do with it first, and I have to buy more labor."

"Stupid you! You have a ready-made model, can't you just use it and modify it?" Jin Yu felt a little more confident when he heard this. Based on the design principle, how can we get an enlarged version to improve the efficiency?The cotton gins of later generations all use electric power, but now there is no such condition, can water power be used?Although there will be a strike when there is a drought, it is better than nothing, right?
