My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 445 Cotton
In addition to the brotherhood, the second is naturally the five surnames and Qiwang, and the Guanlong Hao family is here.During my trip to Xingyang this time, because I did some things in the Zheng family, I won a lot of praise from my father.

To make Father and Emperor pay more attention to himself, it is definitely a good choice for the aristocrats to come here.At this time, the powerful nobles have long been the thorn in the eyes of the royal family, and the thorn in their flesh.

The Sui Dynasty is an example. Why Emperor Sui Yang died, why Emperor Sui Yang moved his capital to Luoyang, and why he built the Grand Canal connecting the north and the south are inseparable from the aristocrats.

It's a pity that although the emperor has great ambitions in his heart, the power of the clan is too strong.So much so that it can influence the imperial power and determine the fate of the dynasty.

At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, the power of the clan was still stubborn and powerful.

For Li Zhi, if he can really rectify the power of the powerful, it is not only a bonus for his father's performance, but also for ascending to the throne by himself in the future, which will definitely be of great benefit.

What's more, in these aristocratic families, the sisters and aunts are prettier than the other. Look at the women around me, who are the best in appearance and figure, which one is not from the aristocratic family.

Apart from these two, that is filial piety, which is also extremely important, even more important than the previous two.

However, it seems that it is not easy to show the father and emperor to feel his sincerity.

On weekdays, I often go to see my father and accompany my father, which is probably all I can do.

The most important direction of expression is actually still in the first two things. The first thing is to reassure the father and prove that he will not engage in dramas such as brothers splitting and fighting.The second thing is actually to prove one's ability. After all, the powerful and aristocratic is the most difficult problem in Chutang at this time, and there is no one.

Li Zhi wanted to understand this, so he stopped in his tracks. Looking at the sun at this moment, it turned out that the sun was about to set.

This day really passed in a trance, and time slipped away before I knew it.

Standing there, Li Zhi saw that the maids of Prince Jin's Mansion were already lighting up the palace lanterns, and Li Zhi walked towards the courtyard where he and Wang Yan got married.

After walking a few steps, a courtyard guard ran in from outside.This is the mansion soldiers of Prince Jin's mansion, every mansion has them, and this is the only armed force that Li Zhi can absolutely control at this time.

"what's the matter?"

"Return to Your Highness, it is the people from Honglu Temple who are looking for Your Highness!"

Hearing this name, Li Zhi already thought of what it was. He had been to Honglu Temple before, and asked the people there to bring him cotton from the frontier. At this time, the people from Honglu Temple came to look for it, which should be the matter .

"Please come in!"

As Li Zhi said, he simply walked towards the gate with the mansion soldiers. At this time, three carriages were parked at the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion, and two Honglu Temple officials were waiting beside them.

Seeing King Jin, he naturally hurried forward to salute.

"Wai Li, did you bring back what the king asked for?"

"Your Highness, please take a look!"

The curtains of the two carriages behind were opened at this time, and both of them were full of cotton, and there was a large bag of cotton in the latter carriage.

The first-picked cotton, which contains cotton seeds, is actually processed cotton.

At this time Li Zhi looked at the cotton and a large bag of cotton seeds full of two carriages, and he was naturally very happy.

This thing is more important to Li Zhi than women's small clothes and cheongsam.

We must know that in the textile industry of later generations, the cotton textile industry occupies an absolute proportion and a dominant position.

Whether it is silk or hemp or the bamboo fiber chemical fiber that emerged later, it cannot shake the dominance of the cotton textile industry at all.

At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, cotton had not been effectively used at all, and small-scale planting was only available in the frontier.

Starting with cotton not only brought a brand-new thing like cotton textiles to the Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, there was no such thing before, and the royal family could achieve sufficient control over the cotton textile industry.

If you control the cotton and the production of cotton cloth, you will be able to meet the benefits in the future.

As long as the cotton is controlled in the hands of ordinary people, the royal family has enough right to speak.

Take a look at the wealthy families in Jiangnan, why they became so rich, and why Nanchen fell, all after the Sui Dynasty. The power of the Jiangnan clan is still so huge, and among the things they rely on, silk is also extremely important.

With cotton, the Tang textile industry based on silk and hemp, Li Zhi has enough crowbars to pry it upside down.

In the future, in terms of textiles, I will have the absolute right to speak.

Holding the cotton at this time, Li Zhi seemed to be holding the economic lifeline of Datang's textile industry.

At this time, the King of Jin ordered the cotton to be unloaded from the carriage, and he also ordered the two Honglu Temple officials to be rewarded heavily.

Ordinary people give officials silver and jewels, which is bribery, but only the royal family can reward them, and Li Zhi happens to be the direct prince.

After seeing off the two officials of Honglu Temple, Li Zhi grabbed a handful of cotton. There was so much cotton that the people in the bamboo garden just had to deal with it. They made two cotton-padded clothes for his father, queen and queen. The cotton-padded clothes were naturally made of silk. Filled with cotton, this is the most common form of winter clothing in later generations.

Just now I said that there is not much to do to show filial piety, but the two loads of cotton from Honglu Temple were timely enough.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi asked people to prepare a vehicle, and sent all the cotton to the bamboo garden.

Li Zhi was afraid that his own people would not be able to explain the use of cotton, so he simply followed.

When we arrived at Zhuyuan, it was naturally completely dark. Fortunately, the people in the garment workshop lived in Zhuyuan all the time. Li Zhi found the people in the garment workshop who were off work, and showed them the cotton, and then explained in detail How the cotton is used.

At this moment in the old building in Zhuyuan, the two Lin family teachers and sisters were just about to rest when they heard footsteps outside.

When the door was pushed open, Lin Ruyin put on a tiger face.

"Myolie, I was just about to go to bed when you disturbed Miss Ben's dream."

"That's right, Xing'er, it's really time for you to come."

"You two ladies, don't go to sleep. His Royal Highness King Jin is at the garment workshop. You go to sleep again. His Highness will come over later. He might not see you sleeping, so he left quietly."

"Ah! Your Highness has come to the bamboo garden!"

Lin Ruyin covered her lips, and immediately got out of the quilt, took the small clothes she usually wore, and put them on her body.

Lin Shixuan next to him was even faster, and had already put on the inner clothes.

"Miss, don't worry! Jin Wang still has some business in the garment workshop, and he won't leave for a while."

"Can you not be in a hurry? Jin Wang finally came, and I haven't served him for a long time."

"That's right, it's been a long time since I served Your Highness. In my dreams at night, it's all His Highness kissing me!"

"Hurry up, Shixuan!"

The two sisters of the Lin family have already dressed up at this time, the clothes are easy to wear, but the headgear is not easy to wear!
At this time, Lin Ruyin pulled the junior sister who was about to comb her hair and ran outside.
