The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

If the Du family only exchanged a guaranteed future for Du Gou, it would still be a bit of a loss. After all, even if they didn't do so, Du Gou would definitely be able to inherit the title and serve as an official in the court in the future.

However, there is a world of difference between being an official in the court and having real power and how likely they are to rise.

If the Du family can produce another prime minister like Du Ruhui, it will definitely change the current situation of the Du family.

"Keming, although the matter of Linying County has never been mentioned, I can give you a definite message." Li Shimin said: "After the matter of Linying County begins in the future, what your Du family has handed over today will be compensated."

Du Ruhui was shocked when he heard this.

What on earth was the matter of Linying County that could make His Majesty say such a statement.

What is King Jingyang planning?

This time, the Du family really got lucky.

Li Shimin felt that when the work on the farm in Jingyang County was almost done, Li Fu should have a general plan for the work in Linying County.

He said that he wanted to try it on his own farm first to see if there was anything that needed to be improved and perfected.

Now the workshop area in the farm has been under construction for such a long time.

Li Shimin himself wanted to go to the farm to take a look.

After the matter of going to Cuiwei Palace was settled, he would go to take a look when he was free.

It was a good opportunity to go and see how the children were doing there.

In the farm, Li Fu was in his study, sitting at the desk, busy sorting out the drawings.

After listening to Yan Lide's words, he went to the workshop area to take a look.

After returning, he asked for all the information in the workshop area and reorganized it.

This time, it was sorted out for Li Shimin to see, so a new copy had to be sorted out.

The final version was sorted out, and three copies were made. One copy was kept in the manor of Jingyang County for archiving, and two copies were brought into Chang'an City. At that time, one of the two copies would be kept in the palace, and the other would be taken to Linying County with the officials who were going to Linying County.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. The drawings, personnel, and the entire process are all ready-made. The only difference is the size.

The service area that Li Fu plans to build in Linying County is larger than that in the manor.

It connects the east, west, south, and north of the Tang Dynasty. It happens to be on a major traffic route. It is also the first service area in the Tang Dynasty. If you want to make a model, it must be large and exquisite, and the surrounding supporting facilities must keep up.

Other places will also follow this standard in the future, and they must be carefully and carefully.

The construction work of the workshop area in the manor has been completed. The rest, Ma Shisan and his people are decorating it. The furniture is also ready. After cleaning and arranging it properly, recruiting people, the trading area can be officially put into use.

At this moment, the women in the farm were busy doing needlework at home.

The size of the accommodation had been measured, and Ma Shisan had people buy materials to sew bedding.

After the accommodation was all ready, it was estimated that the entire trading area could be opened to the public.

Li Fu frowned as he looked at the account book sent by Ma Shisan.

It was not because of anything else, but because of the materials purchased.

It was not so bad in summer. The weather was hot and the quilt could not cover it. Just cover it with a thin cotton quilt.

But in winter.

The quilts of wealthy nobles were all made of high-quality fur and were very warm.

The richer families used silk and linen. Silk and linen were windproof. Whether it was made into clothes to wear outside or quilts, they could keep out the cold.

For ordinary people, the quilts and clothes were filled with reed flowers to keep out the cold in winter.

It was not that there was no cotton in the Tang Dynasty. Cotton was only for viewing in the Tang Dynasty.

It has become an ornamental plant. During the Qin and Han dynasties, it could be seen in the frontier. Li Fu went to the back garden of the palace and planted some of it for the royal family to enjoy.

"Such good cotton, why is it only planted for viewing." Li Fu sighed.

"Cotton is a good thing, it must be planted."

"Where is suitable for growing cotton? I don't really know in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but there is a place..."

Li Fu got up, walked to the wall, and looked up at the map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty hanging on the wall.

"This place... Li Erfeng has a lot to do. He must take this place down anyway, otherwise where can cotton be planted."

Li Fu stood by the map and muttered to himself.

After class, Li Chengqian and the others came to the study room. When they entered the study room, they saw Li Fu standing by the wall looking at the map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"Uncle Wang?" Li Chengqian called carefully.

"Well?" Li Fu heard the noise, turned his head and looked over: "You guys are off duty."

"Yes." Li Chengqian responded: "Uncle Wang, what are you looking at?"

Li Chengqian and the others came to Li Fu.

They also saw the map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty hanging on the wall.

"You say, is the land of the Tang Dynasty still a little small now?" Li Fu said.

"Ah? This......"

Li Chengqian didn't know how to respond to this.

"Uncle Wang, what are you thinking of?" Li Tai asked.

"Yes, why do you suddenly dislike the small territory of our Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke was also curious.

"Uncle Wang, when Aye defeats the Turks and takes their grasslands, our Tang Dynasty will be bigger, and the north will be safe." Li Lizhi's eyes fell on the Eastern Turks in the north of the Tang Dynasty.

At a young age, Li Lizhi also knew that the Weishui Alliance made her Aye very embarrassed!

This face can only be recovered by defeating them!

"Only cattle, sheep and horses can be grazed on the grassland, which is fine." Li Fu murmured, "But cotton cannot be grown."

"Cotton?" Li Chengqian was curious: "Uncle Wang, you like to see cotton. There is cotton in the palace. When the time comes, let the palace send you a few plants."

"A few plants? That's not enough, far from enough." Li Fu sighed, his eyes fell on Tuyuhun and Gaochang.

"Look, these two places have plenty of sunlight and the soil conditions are just right. They are most suitable for growing cotton." Li Fu smiled: "If a large area can be taken over by the Tang Dynasty in the future, the Tang Dynasty will have a place to grow cotton."

What grape wine, what grapes, big eyes, high nose bridge, beautiful women who can sing and dance.

What is more important than growing cotton?

If cotton is grown well, it can give people cotton clothes and quilts in winter! Isn't this overwhelming merit more exciting than a beautiful woman dancing with her head tilted?

Superficial!

Although, but.

Is there anyone who is not superficial?

"Uncle Wang, how much cotton do you want to plant?" Li Tai was dumbfounded: "Does cotton look that good?"
