"Hehe! Xiaoke, you don't have to panic, listen to His Majesty's words, it should let you grow up in a few years and then go to Shu, and in these few years, you will still stay in Chang'an and take the post of Governor of Yizhou. , So, before you go to the fief, Xiaoke, you have to study hard, enrich yourself, and you will become a generation of wise kings when you come to the fief, and guard your side for His Majesty!"

In the Yanhuang Academy, in the mountain chief's office, Li Zexuan looked at Li Ke and instructed earnestly.

Li Zexuan is very satisfied with Li Ke as a student. He is very talented. He can teach everything in one go.

Among the students who will carry forward Yanhuang Academy in the future, Li Ke will definitely have a seat!

Li Ke stood up, bowed respectfully to Li Zexuan, and said, "Follow the teachings of the leader of the mountain, and never forget!"

"Um!"

Li Zexuan nodded and asked, "Xiao Ke, don't you want to go to Shu?"

Li Ke was stunned when he heard the words. After a while, he shook his head and said softly: "What if you want to go? What if you don't want to go? As a prince of the Tang Dynasty, one day sooner or later, you will have to leave the capital, leave the father and mother, and leave my teachers and teachers. Classmates, go to a distant fief to serve as a guard for my Tang Dynasty! This is Ke's mission!"

Everyone can hear the helplessness and sadness in these words!

Li Zexuan stood up, patted Li Ke on the shoulder, and then walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at Yunshan and the village under Yunshan from the window, he said with emotion:

"Xiao Ke, as a royal person, of course there will be a lot of helplessness, but in this world, how many people can really do whatever they want and are unfettered? Each of us is born with our own mission, you are sighing fate When you are helpless, how many people in the world are envious of you, envious that you are in the royal family, and once you are an adult, you can rush to the fief to be a free prince, unrestrained, and indulge in the landscape!

Life is like one besieged city after another. People outside the city want to come in, but people inside the city want to come out. Therefore, if you think about the teacher's opinion, it is better to accept the reality, accept your own identity, and complete your mission. , to prove the value of their existence in the world!

The land of Bashu is surrounded by mountains, and there are many local nobles and tribes. A little careless management will cause civil strife. The life of the people in Shu is relatively closed and very hard. In the future, you will take what you have learned from the Yanhuang Academy and the decree of Your Majesty, and go to Shu to take office, manage the nobles and tribes of Bashu, and let the people of Shu be like The common people here in Chang'an are also prosperous, and His Majesty and the Empress will certainly be very pleased, as well as being a teacher!

This is a kind of inheritance of hope, not limited by space and region! And, don't you think this life is more meaningful? "

Having said that, Li Zexuan turned around and looked at Li Ke with a burning gaze.

In fact, he understands Li Ke's mood very well. Anyone who is kicked out of his hometown by his parents and goes to a strange place in his teens will become at a loss. As a royal person, Li Ke, even though he has been prepared, is now at a loss. After knowing that I will go to Bashu in a few years, my heart is inevitably broken.

Li Ke's eyes gradually changed from hesitant to dull, and became clearer. He gave a deep bow and said, "Thank you Shanzhang for your guidance, Ke will definitely bring the knowledge taught by Shanzhang to benefit the people of Shu in the future! Ke, never again. I won't blame anyone else~!"

When he was at a loss, Li Zexuan helped him clear the clouds and see the fog and pointed out the direction. He was really grateful to Li Zexuan.

Hearing this, Li Zexuan smiled happily and said, "Haha! That's good! From now on, you can take time to practice at Yanhuang Bank. The things I teach you are limited to theory, Xiaoke, you have to theory and practice. Combination is fine! Applying these economic methods to Shu land in the future will definitely reap miraculous effects!"

"Yes! Mountain Chief!"

Li Ke nodded yes. Suddenly, he asked with some doubts, "I don't know if the mountain chief entered the palace today to see my father, what is the important thing?"

"Oh, my teacher asked His Majesty for a mineral vein in Bashu. This is what happened..."

After listening to Li Ke ask this question, Li Zexuan briefly explained the matter of the vanadium-titanium magnetite in Zhuzhou, Li Ke listened, and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, the mountain chief, after Ke goes to Shu and takes office in the future, he will definitely manage Shu. Let the chief of the mountain be able to mine with confidence in Shu!”

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Haha! Then as a teacher, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the King of Shu first here! Haha!"

In the afternoon, a group of soldiers took Li Er's imperial decree and ran out of Chang'an City towards Bashu.

And as the evening approached, a few eunuchs came up from Yunshan and invited Li Ke from the Yanhuang Academy back to Chang'an, saying that it was the morning court tomorrow and Li Ke had to attend.

Li Zexuan reckoned that in the early morning, Lao Li would definitely announce the news that Li Ke would be renamed King of Shu!

Palace at night.

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Er looked at the map of Bashu on the dragon case, and was in a daze. At this moment, Zhao Song walked in from the outside, then stood beside Li Er, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the spies sent to Yuezhou in the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago have returned!"

Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but be startled. He quickly regained his senses and asked, "How is it? Have you found Li Yu's biological father and biological mother?"

Zhao Song bowed slightly and replied: "Go back to Your Majesty, according to the report of the spies, Miss Li Yu's father is called Fu Lingyan, and her mother is called Liu Yixue. It is said that Fu Lingyan was originally a big family in Taiyuan. In the third year of Sui Daye, the world was in chaos and chaos. It was also affected. In order to avoid the battle, Fu Lingyan

In chaos, he took his wife and daughter and his family to Izumo Village in Yuezhou, where he lived for more than ten years!

However, Fu Lingyan and Liu Yixue died of illness last year. Miss Li Yu came to Chang'an from Yuezhou alone. By chance, she met Meng Wenhao, and later became the Marquis of Yong'an. A reporter from the editorial department of the Daily News! "

"Three years of great cause!"

Li Er frowned, as if thinking of something, and then he wondered: "She is a little girl, after losing her father and mother, why did she come all the way to Chang'an?"

Zhao Song bowed and said, "I heard an old woman in Yuncun say that Li Yu is not the biological daughter of Fu Lingyan and Liu Yixue, but an adopted daughter. Li Yu came to Chang'an all the way to find his biological father and mother. City! But none of the other villagers in Izumo Village know about this, only the old woman said so, no one knows if it is true or not!"

"Not biological! Certainly not biological!"

Li Er stood up, put his hands behind his back, and started pacing back and forth. After a while, Li Er waved his hand and said, "Okay! I know it all! You should step back first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty~!"

Zhao Song surrendered.

In the hall, only Li Er sighed softly, "Li Yu, Li Yu, do you have anything to do with him..."

Li Zexuan on Yunshan was thinking about making light bulbs. When Mo Lingwei built a microscope, Li Zexuan once said that he wanted to create a more convenient and stable light source than sunlight. He was talking about light bulbs!

Otherwise, relying solely on the reflected sunlight to illuminate the microscope will greatly limit the application of the microscope, so Li Zexuan plans to start building light bulbs, just as the hydropower station will be completed in a few months, and the first electrical appliance will be used by then. It must be a light bulb, after all, this thing is easier to build!

Thinking about the method of making electric lights in his heart, Li Zexuan soon fell asleep.

The next day, early morning.

Li Zexuan woke up from his sleep, but found that Han Yuxi woke up earlier than him.

"Huh~? Madam? What are you planting in this flowerpot?"

Han Yuxi was using a small iron shovel to loosen the soil for the flowerpot at the moment. Li Zexuan was curious and hurried forward to ask.

"Yeah! Xianggong, are you up?"

Hearing the sound, Han Yuxi quickly turned around and replied with a smile: "Xiang Gong, this concubine is planting white piezia! In our yard, there are orchids, peonies, and azaleas, but only white leaves are missing. Diezi, this flower seed was bought by a concubine from Hu Shang in the West City, and it's already April, so this is just right~!"

"White Diezi? What kind of flower is this?"

Hearing this, Li Zexuan was puzzled and walked forward involuntarily.

"Xianggong, don't you know Baijiezi? The flowers of Baijiezi are all snow-white, and they look like silkworm cocoons. The silk in the cocoon is as fine as fine silk, and it's particularly beautiful when in full bloom!"

Han Yuxi looked up at Li Zexuan and said with a smile.

"The whole body is snow-white, and it looks like a silkworm cocoon? Madam, let my husband see the seeds of this white folded seed!"

Li Zexuan still didn't understand what kind of flower this white zit was. He went up to Han Yuxi and asked for some white zit seeds. He put them in his hand and checked them carefully. A layer of white hairs, peeling off the seed coat, there is a layer of milky white membrane-like endosperm relics clinging to the seed coat. Seeing this, Li Zexuan immediately exclaimed:

"Cotton? Baijiezi is actually cotton?"

In his previous life, he was not a pampered second-generation rich man who didn't eat human fireworks. He was a down-to-earth rural child. Of course he had seen cotton seeds, so he could recognize them at a glance. In addition, he had long known that cotton was in Tang Dynasty. Dai is still an ornamental flower, but I don't know that white jelly is cotton!

"Xiang Gong, what is cotton? What does this white fold have to do with cotton?"

Han Yuxi said strangely.

Li Zexuan shook his head and said excitedly: "Miss, you just said that the seeds of the white folds were bought from the merchants of the Western Regions, but is it true? How many seeds do they have?"

No wonder he was excited, because cotton is too important to people in this era!

You must know that in ancient China, before cotton was planted on a large scale, the common people could only rely on white clothes and coarse cloth to keep warm in winter. !

Han Yuxi smiled and replied, "Xianggong, the flower seeds of this white piezia were indeed bought from Hu merchants in the Western Regions. They should have a lot of seeds. Xianggong, how much do you need? My concubine will let someone buy some for you!"

"Naturally, there are as many as you want~! Madam, to tell you the truth, the tidbits of this kind of white Diezi opening can be used to make cotton-padded clothes, and the effect of keeping out the cold is very good. We'll never have to get cold in winter!"

Li Zexuan laughed.

Han Yuxi was taken aback and said, "Master, do you want to make clothes out of white folds? Wouldn't this be too extravagant? Even if it were made, ordinary people might not be able to afford it?"

Li Zexuan said strangely: "What? Is this white piezi very expensive?"

Han Yuxi nodded and said, "Of course it's expensive, Xianggong! The price of this daisy flower is only a few dozen dollars. If it's used to make clothes, how many fenugreek flowers should I need? There are such clothes in the folk. But they are only worn by wealthy businessmen with huge net worth! I heard from my mother and father that there used to be clothes made of white folds in our house.

, but last winter we had a heater in our house, so we didn't take it out to wear it! "

It is generally believed that cotton spread from the north to the south to the Central Plains. Nanlu was originally Asian cotton from India, and was introduced to Hainan Island and Guangdong and Guangxi through Southeast Asia. According to historical records, at least during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was introduced to Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan and other regions. The second route was from India to Yunnan through Myanmar, about the Qin and Han dynasties. The third way is that African cotton was introduced into Xinjiang and the Hexi Corridor through West Asia, about the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The North Road is the ancient book "Western Region". During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, cotton spread to the vast area of ​​the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. By the 13th century, the cotton of the North Road had spread to the Wei River Basin in Shaanxi.

In fact, as early as the Warring States Period, according to the "Book of Documents", some tribes in the South China Sea began to pay tribute to the countries in the Central Plains. In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Yue tribes in Hainan Island had skilled cotton textile technology.

In China during the Tang Dynasty, cotton cultivation became popular, but it was still regarded as a precious flower and grass at that time, and the "white folds" clothes made of cotton were even more exclusive to dignitaries. It is still far away from the clothes of ordinary people to keep out the cold.

Therefore, although it is explained that cotton was introduced into China long ago before the dynasty, it was only a matter of the middle and late Ming dynasty when it entered thousands of households. Before that, the horror of "no cotton in winter" was a real struggle for the ancient Chinese!

"So expensive?"

Li Zexuan frowned upon hearing this. According to Han Yuxi, cotton in this era is basically as precious as orchids and peonies. No wonder no one uses it to make clothes!

"No! No matter how expensive it is, we still have to buy it! Madam, how many seeds can we buy from Hu Shang in the Western Regions?"

Li Zexuan gritted his teeth and said.

The reason why cotton is expensive now is that it has not been widely planted. Once it is planted on a large scale and then bred, within two to three years, he will definitely have a very, very large amount of cotton! The price of cotton will also be quickly suppressed by him!
