Chapter 507: Guess, Cotton
No one knows what Li Chengqian did in the royal farm, and even the eldest grandson empress doesn't think there is any problem.
The subordinates who followed the prince reported the prince's every move, and the eldest grandson's face was very gentle.
I have to say that Li Shimin also has some doubts about this cotton, so naturally he will not tell Queen Changsun.
Of course, if you say it to Queen Changsun, then maybe it will be another ending, the reason is very simple, if you say who trusts Shu An the most in this world.
Then naturally it has to be this eldest grandson queen, but unfortunately different processes also represent different results.
The current queen probably thinks that cotton should be an ornamental flower.
With Li Chengqian's experience, it also represents the fall of Qiu Yu, but the faces of these scholars who walked out of the examination room were solemn.
"I didn't expect this year's topic to be very different from last year."
"Not only is it different, but it's also a lot more difficult than before."
"Especially the last question, it seems that we want to look at this issue from the standpoint of the Tang courtiers."
........
These scholars were also discussing, with a hint of sigh and helplessness in their words.
Even if it is not the first time that I have seen a similar topic, there are many uncertainties about this kind of topic, such as the current thoughts of His Majesty.
Another example is the thoughts of the person who scored this time, it can be said that these are very critical and will affect the score this time.
Even these students in the academy were also sad when they returned to the academy, and Su Dashan, who was among them, needless to say.
Even after listening to the course for half a year, Su Dashan's adaptability is still not as fast as that of the students of the previous year.
This is a matter of no choice, Su Dashan's identity is destined to be impossible to study only, but for Su Dashan, he is already very satisfied.
Once, in order to learn a little knowledge, he didn't know how many times he was kicked out, and he didn't know how many times he was looked down upon.
The current environment is undoubtedly fairyland-like for him, and if he can't read good books, it's his own problem.
The students in the academy were preoccupied and seemed to be worried about something.
And all this is being seen by Shu An, but Shu An didn't remind anything, the reason is very simple, he doesn't know what will happen to the imperial examination this time.
These three raters have their own characteristics, and Shu An really can't guess if they score more points and less points.
Not to mention that although Shu An can guess some of Li Shimin's inner thoughts, he also has some things he doesn't understand.
Could it be that this emperor is so anxious, or there are other reasons.
Or rather, the border is starting to be restless again, and the winter will only be two or three months later.
Those northern alien races will inevitably go south again, although there is no record in history, but Shu An knows that these are hazes that have not been recorded in history.
After all, these things have some bad reputation for the emperor to record.
Originally, Li Shimin's reputation was not very good, but now he naturally cherishes it even more, and naturally he will not record it.
"If it was in the past, Li Shimin would definitely not have any ideas, but now Datang has a lot of money and food."
Shu An thought silently, to know that Li Shimin will be in peace for a few years, after all, although money and food are the main aspect, the soldiers are also a very important aspect.
If you are not careful to cause many interracial alliances, even Datang will have some difficulties to resist.
It's not that Shu An thinks highly of these alien races, but that the alien races in this era are really serious, even if it is above history and there are still many alien races in the Wu and Zhou periods.
After thinking of this, Shu An didn't continue to think, that emperor shouldn't be so unwise.
Not to mention that even if Li Shimin wanted to do this, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others would stop it, and there was no need for him to remind him at all.
"Master, there is news from the cotton farm that the cotton has been picked and is waiting to be made."
Just as Shu An was thinking, a respectful voice sounded, it was Shu Crazy Tiger.
Since Shu Mad Tiger came back, he naturally followed Shu An's side, but Shu Mad Lion said that he went to pick up the caravan and ran out.
Even Shu An was a little helpless, so he went with him, but now Shu An has received good news.
For cotton, Shu Anke attaches great importance to it, and knows that there are many particularities in cotton planting, and the harvest season is generally in summer and autumn.
When it is harvested depends on the variety of cotton and the environment in which it grows.
And these seeds brought back by Tianzhu are generally harvested in the autumn, that is, at this point in time.
After the cotton is available, it is time to make cotton clothes that can keep warm, although the amount of cotton grown is not much now.
But there is no problem in making a few pieces, if you don't let this emperor see the finished product, I'm afraid I think he is lying to him.
Although Li Shimin doesn't care about a noble title, it may be very rare in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Li Shimin, it is just like that.
"Let people make it quickly, and send it back to Chang'an as soon as possible."
After hearing these words, Shu An immediately spoke up, with a hint of impatience in his words.
"Yes, sir!"
Shu Crazy Tiger did not hesitate to speak, and if he went down, he would let people notify him immediately.
"And what happened to the land by the sea?"
Of course, thinking about cotton, Shu An naturally won't forget about Haiyan.
Although he does not purify table salt from salt mines, he can choose the method of drying salt in seawater.
Even if this salt is not pure, it is much better than those vinegar cloths and other things in this era.
"According to the news, an agreement has been reached with the local people, but we don't have enough manpower."
Shu Maanhu showed a wry smile on his face and said, this matter is not so easy, and it must be done by someone you trust.
They could only be chosen from a few of their guards, but some of the key ones had just gotten married, and some had just been born.
No matter who you choose, it's not the right one, so it's another problem.
"You can arrange this matter."
It's a pity that Shu An also knows the difficulties here, but he still pretends not to know and speaks directly.
Because it's not so easy to let Shu An make a choice, it's better to give Shu Crazy Tiger a headache, he has already chosen it once last time.
The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Shu An basically treats these guards equally.
But whoever lets no one do this is not good, and salt is also indispensable.
"Yes, sir!"
Shu Madhu could only agree with a wry smile on his face.
