The Baron offers a bounty

If you want to promote cotton to the world, it is inevitable that you can't do without this big farmer, there is a specialization in the art industry, and this kind of thing can only find Li Wei, Li Wei heard Li Shimin's words, and also fell into deep thought, Li Shimin and several ministers did not bother when they saw this, only sipped sweet tea in a soft voice.

And Li Wei was thinking about the pros and cons and data of Bai Diezi's implementation of the world, and from time to time he was pulling his fingers to calculate, and he had been waiting for a long time.

Li Shimin and the three of them are fine, but Dou Jin is a little impatient, he is a person who is more arrogant than talented, he has always relied on the favor of the two emperors to fly and be arrogant, and in the winter, he was just summoned from the bed of the eighteenth concubine, and he didn't have anything to do when he came, he just drank tea, and immediately shouted: "This Laoshizi Bai Diezi is of some use, then let the Tianshehan go to plant, Si Nong is still very careful, Your Majesty, this is nothing to do, the minister retired first."

As he spoke, he got up and wanted to leave.

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, his face was gloomy, and Li Pojun also secretly said when he saw this, no wonder Dou Jintang Guogong was not famous in history, and he was afraid that his head was in the water.

Seeing that Li Shimin attaches great importance to cotton, you are here with such a tired attitude.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Wei was angry, and shouted at Dou Jin, who got up: "Hmph, the people of the world have basically set the shape of planting crops, and if you want to implement new crops, how difficult it is, I don't know the growth characteristics, planting range, planting conditions, etc., how much to plant, how to plant, whether the people have the ability to plant, and whether they have the ability to take off cotton and clothing, all are unknown, how to implement it?" Thou shalt not know the grains, but you are the foundation of the peasant country, so don't draw here indiscriminately."

Li Pojun heard it, hey, a good Li Wei, worthy of the name of unruly and unbridled, scolded well, agriculture is the foundation of the country's economy, Xiang Dou Jin doesn't know anything, only knows that he gives orders indiscriminately, isn't it a mistake for the country, and from Li Wei's two "I don't know anything, I don't know anything" words, it can also be seen that Li Wei is a doer, not empty talk, without investigation and examination clearly, Li Wei will not arbitrarily promote cotton, this is also what Li Pojun thinks in his heart, those few acres of land are the foundation of the people, If you take out a part of it to grow cotton, not to mention whether the cotton has been planted or whether it has been made into clothes, it will be made, and if you don't freeze to death, you will starve to death.

Li Shimin's face was gloomy when he heard this, Dou Jin's face turned red, and he pointed at Li Wei and scolded: "Pickled Tian Shehan, dare to insult me, Your Majesty ......."

As he spoke, he was about to cry to Li Shimin.

Bang~, Li Shimin slapped on the desk, "When are you going to mess around, step back, since you have nothing to do, you can go back and rest."

Hearing this, Dou Jin threw his sleeves out with an angry face, and glared at Li Wei viciously.

Seeing this, a hint of shrewdness flashed in Duan Lun's eyes, he shook his head slightly and smiled and didn't speak, but Li Pojun looked confused, could it be that if it was like this, although Dou Jin didn't make any mistakes, but this was obviously a corpse vegetarian meal, and Li Shimin, who has always been wise, really loved Dou Jin to such an extent?

"Zijing, do you think this cotton is possible to promote the world?" Li Shimin looked at Li Wei eagerly again and asked.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the white stack is a foreign thing, originally a thing of Tianzhu, because its flowers bloom like clouds, it can be ornamental, in the land of the Western Regions, it is only slightly planted, only for ornamental purposes, I have not planted in the Central Plains, and its growth characteristics and other ministers do not know, it is the old minister who still needs to study one or two before he dares to make a conclusion." In addition, even if the white stacks are suitable for planting, the people's fields are already narrow, and if there is empty land, they must be planted with grain, and this white stacks may not be easily accepted by the people."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Li Shimin also nodded slightly, and then looked at Li Pojun. "My son, what you said before about the habits of white stacks, and then tell Dasi Nong in detail"

Li Pojun also said bluntly when he heard this: "Yes, Si Nong,

As far as I know, cotton growth likes temperature, light, long growth cycle, drought tolerance, avoid stains suitable for planting in loose and deep soil, its growth process, as long as there is sufficient light, temperature and moisture, you can continue to grow branches, long leaves, buds, flowering, boll formation, regeneration ability is very strong. In my opinion, as long as the soil quality is not too inferior, the temperature is not low, and there is sufficient light, you can plant cotton, such as the Western Regions, Longyou, Huainan, and Lingnan can be planted, among which the Western Regions Longyou is the most suitable.

Hearing Li Pojun's conclusive words, Li Wei also looked cautious, and asked Li Shimin for a pen and paper, recorded all the growth habits written by Li Pojun, and said: "Your Highness's words, it's not that the minister doesn't believe it, it's just that the implementation of new crops has a lot to do with it.

said and apologized to Li Pojun.

Li Pojun would not be angry when he heard this, and said bluntly: "Li Sinong's old opinion is right, and the implementation of cotton is not in a hurry, and it should be done steadily." Aye, the child has 100 acres of land in Cuiping Mountain, and he is willing to donate it for Sinong to be used as a test field."

Li Shimin was very happy when he heard this, and said bluntly: "My son's heart, my heart is very comforting."

Duan Lun on the side also smiled and said: "The minister has a flower garden, there are some white stacks in it, which are purchased from the merchants of the Western Regions, the flowers are white clusters, and the varieties are good.

Li Shimin's face was happy when he heard this, and he praised it again and again, seeing this scene, Li Pojun also sighed, look at Duan Lun, not only has the talent to dare to make meritorious contributions, but also full of emotional intelligence, these simple cotton plants are offered at the right time, look at Li Shimin's fun, and then look at Dou Jin, that is a mallet, relying on Li Shimin's respect for his mother and his love for his mother's family, he is so reckless, and he has no talent, where can he last for a long time.

Li Shimin also instructed Duan Lun to offer a reward in the Ministry of Industry, if a craftsman develops a fast and effective tool for removing seeds and taking cotton, he will give the baron of Kaiguo County 500 acres of Yongye field.

Hearing Li Shimin's reward, Li Pojun is also convinced, and he is really generous, although the title of the founder of the county is the lowest of the ninth rank of the Tang Dynasty, but for the craftsmen who are not allowed to step into the official career, it is a big piece of cake, and it must be rushed to scramble, not to mention that there are 500 acres of Yongye Field, that is Yongye Tian is not a mouth field, Yongye Field can be hereditary, people can pass on to their sons and grandsons when they die, and they have to be returned to the country when they die, and ordinary people will have to return to the country at most, Yongye Field, you can sell or plant, that is, your private property, this kind of reward, Li Pojun estimates that those craftsmen will work day and night to develop it.
