Chapter 60: Visionary

As a new young man of the Tang Dynasty with noble sentiments, Zhang De can't stare at the little thing between the beds all day long, and popping is not productivity after all.

In addition to getting Zhang De's promise, Yinchu also had some personnel arrangements finalized. Since ancient times, the pillow style has always been an important weight of personnel power, of course, after 1,500 years, this thing is called "lady line" or even "lady diplomacy" at a high level.

The Ashide Department is not as miserable as the Ashina, but it is not easy either. The Tang Dynasty in Zhenguannian strangled everything that might threaten the rule of the Central Plains in the cradle.

For those ambitious tribes who want to use the vest of the Ashide Ministry and then make a transition to the name of the Great Khan, there are only three paths to choose.

One is to perish, this one is very simple, the Golden Wolf family is basically burping.

The second is kneeling and licking, which is more difficult, but the Golden Wolf family's sworn friend Ashide did it, and he also lost Jundu Mountain, and gave Hanhai out to Wei Chi Old Devil.

The third is how far and how far to roll, such as Qi Qi He Li, he is now going to the west of Jinshan to dance with the Western Turks, definitely not because this is where the ancestral courtyard is, but because he was frightened by the fire army of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, He Li is a little different from other teenagers, he expands in a planned way, and then shows his strength to the Tang border army, and then looks for an opportunity...... Enclosing.

He Li has completely understood the general trend, the general trend, and there is really no way to stop it. Fu Yun was actually proud of eating a rock candy for three days in Shanshan, but he lost half of the country!

The ideal is full, the reality is cruel. If there is an eternal life. That can only be said regrettably: Changshengtian is very far away, and Datang is very close.

"What Jiro meant. I understood. ”

When Du He came to Cangzhou, he was stunned throughout the whole process. It's not that he hasn't been to Hebei before. About five or six years ago, Du Shi had a big event here, and he came with Du Chuke. At that time, Hebei was desolate and uninhabited, and as for Cangzhou, it was simply the Yellow Flood Area, that is, the garbage disposal center.

However, after a few years, it has changed so much?!

Not to mention the tracks laid on the floating embankment, nor the caravans in the canal counties. I just said that I have never seen anything sold on the street of the Cangzhou Prefecture Governance Office.

It seems to be a white stacked cloth, and the Futu people like to put the batch on the body the most holy, but the production is very low and the price is expensive, and there is no market.

But watching one horse after another of cotton cloth loaded onto the carriage, neatly dressed, wearing a tailcarf handlebar style, actually put on riding boots!

"Da Lang, Da Lang. ! brother! ”

Du He immediately threw his father's instructions out of the clouds, stopped Zhang De, and said with a dry smile: "When I came, I saw a shop, and the one selling was not silk linen. As if it were ...... Silk made of white stacks? ”

Good eyesight! It is worthy of being one of the most famous gentlemen in the capital, and it is a high-class office.

"Why is the second brother so messy and shouting."

Du He also completely ignored Zhang De's words. Shamelessly said: "Brother, the younger brother is from the capital." Brought a lot of private money, you see...... You see......"

He just didn't bend the road. It's a big plus, it's very straightforward and plain.

caught Lao Zhang off guard, and always felt that the entry point of this product was very powerful. It was only a matter of time before the cotton business would be able to crush silk and hemp. The comfort of the burlap, the price is much lower than silk, what is even more commendable is that as long as you master the qualified cottonseed threshing technology, to ensure that the unit yield per mu is more than 150 catties, it is a big deal.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even fifteen hundred years later, cotton has always been more reliable than "Huang Xiaoyu" in bulk materials. Fifteen hundred years later, soybeans, wheat and corn can not be selected for food and oil crops, but the cotton spinning is still hanging and beating chemical fiber.

"Second Brother Du has taken a fancy to Bai Diezi?"

"Da Lang is amazing, and the white cloth can be so abundant, a god man, a true god man."

Du He's sycophants are very in line with his setting, very simple and rude, and the filming is quite the style of Internet netizens 1,500 years later.

"It's okay to do this, but I don't know if Erlang wants to eat a trickle of water or a hammer deal?"

Smiling Lao Zhang, poured a new cup of tea for Du He, Du He was flattered and picked up the cup, for a long time, before he stared at Zhang De with wide eyes, and also smiled: "The little brother wants to do a hammer deal, and he also wants to eat ......."

I'll give it to you!

The sons of the Zaifu, none of them are normal.

Du Erlang wants to make a living, Lao Zhang will talk to him slowly, but this year's cotton production will definitely be expanded. Last year, although Jia's large number of manpower was still on the improvement of green feed towers and alfalfa, Jia Fei and his brothers were busy increasing cotton production and selecting and breeding.

There are four or five kinds of cotton seeds collected from all sides, and the fibers are not good, and some of them are even thicker and shorter, and there is no way to machine them. In the end, they were all used to play the quilt core, and they were sent to the Xihetao and Dingxiang Governor's Mansion. The extra ones were given to the captains of the three major fleets.

It's about to come to the day of cotton planting, and now there is a lot of idle land in Hebei, and production is very encouraged in the China Resources system, so many people are willing to work in the farms of China Resources even if they give up their own farmland. After all, if you farm your own land, Yongye Field is just that, if it is an open field, the taxes that should be paid cannot be missing a grain of grain.

And working in China Resources Farm, at least giving birth to sons and daughters, there is always a dog and a sheep. Plus the salary is okay, don't worry about taxes, it's much easier.

Besides, the population on the books of Hebei Province is one or two percent less than the actual population, and the deficit the year before last, plus Fang Xuanling came to find chickens to kill the monkeys last year, and the hidden population did not dare to find out all of them. But all those who were thrown out as substitutes for the dead ghosts were all hidden Dingkou on the Lu family's side.

Therefore, many original hired farmers or serfs, plus many local homesteaders in Hebei Province, were driven by interests or environment to choose China Resources Farm.

A little nourishment that can survive and live is always attractive.

Therefore, Zhang De is in cotton planting. There is no shortage of qualified farmers, plus more than a year of water conservancy facilities to repair and improve. There will be no shortage of water for interplanting cotton.

The only headache is early insect control, potassium fertilizer supplementation in the middle stage, and moth prevention in the later stage. This is not something that Zhang De can think of. Although Jia Fei reduced a batch of insect pests through interplanting, the final yield of cotton per mu did not break 400 catties at the highest, and the lowest one was more than 100 catties.

There are also a lot of black-hearted cotton, when the cotton bears peaches, the whole cotton peach is moth-eaten, and the fiber is black and shady, broken and rotten.

But compared to nothing, this level of black-hearted cotton. It is also good to take it to the barbarian servants of the Xiangdu Governor's Mansion for military use.

And Lao Zhang believes that with the knowledge of the barbarians, they can't tell the difference between the two quilts.

"Where did this cotton seed come from?"

Pick up an open cotton peach, and the cotton tidbits inside are snow-white and silky, as if they are as beautiful as silk.

"It's a seed from Hetao, brought by the Tiele people's Qibi Department, their leader, what is the name of He Li, I heard that Zhang Gong likes this kind of flower. So he took some from the Persians. ”

said that it was to take, but in fact, it was to intersperse the gap in the southwest of the Western Turks and grab a handful.

For most Tielers, this thing is no different from a peony flower. Ornamental plants. In fact, for most Tang people, this thing is indeed no different from peonies, after all, cottonseed threshing is very troublesome. Cotton processing requires a lot of processes, so let them tear cotton by hand to save one or twenty catties of cotton. It's better to let them tear the Turks apart......

"It's Qi Bi He Li, I've seen this person." Zhang De nodded. Then he said, "It's a character." ”

"Zhang Gong, this cotton is light. All cotton likes light, but this one is particularly prominent. Jia Fei took the field records to Zhang De to read, "Jingxi also planted an experiment, and the yield is high, and the yield per mu is 400 catties, all of which are this kind of cotton." ”

Zhang De took a piece of silk and gave a clue: "The silk is also more slender than others, and it is good color." ”

"Harvest a batch this year, and next year we can get 100,000 acres of land. The rest will be able to plant 500,000 or 600,000 mu this year, but the yield is lower. ”

"Make a batch of quilts first."

Zhang De said, and suddenly said, "Jun Peng, leave a cart of cotton seeds for Du Ergongzi." ”

"Standard car?"

"Standard downwind four-wheeled carriages, don't give more, according to the number, don't give less."

At that time, Zhang De will have to talk to Du He about some benefits, and let him bring a few more Olympic reinforcements from the capital. According to Li Dong's current mood, Zhang De has reason to believe that maybe Li Dong is now thinking about cutting a knife from the China Resources and burping until he is full.

Digging the foot of the empire, there are risks in all aspects, if there is no way to avoid it, you can only go back to Chang'an to pick an errand and become an official again.

And if nothing else, his official position can be promoted by one or two levels, and there must be a vacancy in the center. However, as long as it works well, it is not impossible to release military states.

If you really want to go back to be an official and sell Li Dongliang to sell cuteness, you have to take a military position, and then strive to be sent to the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion or the Donghanhai Governor's Mansion, and at the very least, it is also the Denglai Navy here.

Whether it is Uncle Zhang, Shi Danai or Du Wei, they are all their own people and easy to speak.

"Okay, I won't miss Gong Zhang's arrangement." Jia Fei said and asked again, "By the way, Gong Zhang, Her Royal Highness Princess Anping said that she asked for a batch of white cloth, which is a bit large." But...... His Royal Highness Anping sent someone over, saying that Zhang Gong had already agreed. ”

Obviously, Li Zhier did not have a letter in her hand, and it was impossible for Jia Fei to release the goods.

Zhang De knew that he was difficult, so he asked.

"Take a batch, intercept the batch for Tsukushi Island first, and then transport it over." took out the seal letter and handed it to Jia Fei. Jia Fei took out a notebook from his sleeve, and after stamping it, he also stamped it himself, and then received the notebook into his sleeve.

"Zhang Gong, the craftsman who made glue before, has negotiated. It's just that this lac is too expensive, and some rubber blocks have a poor texture, and they are easy to become brittle when applied to silk. ”

"Jiaoyuan has to wait a little longer, there is news from Guangzhou, I will inform Junpeng."

Lac is shellac, and most of it is imported from Champa. However, Champa only produced a small part, and most of it was purchased by Champa merchants further south.

Local shellac is not absent, most of them are in Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, and some are troublesome, and they are only produced in the south of Erhai Lake. In the southwestern borderland, the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and there are many rebellions among the fangren and natives, and it has always been difficult to obtain stable returns if there are any materials.

But in any case, shellac is a relatively reliable source of glue, which is of great use to Zhang De.

For example, if the scope of the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant is too large, the surveying and mapping will be a little higher, and it will be more convenient to use a hot air balloon at this time.

However, the airtightness of the external material of the hot air balloon is a problem, and in this case, if the silk used to make the hot air balloon is covered with a layer of shellac, it can be easily solved.

And with a hot air balloon, lookout alert and monoculars, it's a big killer. If it is properly coordinated, it is even more ferocious to make a ceramic grenade fall from the sky, and it is definitely a perfect impact from psychology to soul.

"Gong Zhang, then I'll do something."

"Go ahead."

After Jia Fei left, Zhang De ordered a batch of goods from the cotton cloth warehouse to borrow the floating wharf and send them to Denglai.

Although Li Zhier swaggered in the Lang Evil Wang Clan, after she came out, she was a low-key thief, and where was there still arrogance on the side of the Wang family's mother.

A courtyard in Dengzhou, with a three-entry door, is spacious with five entrances. The courtyard hall is separated, and there is also a pond rockery, which was newly repaired last year.

There are also seven or eight rooms in the back room, which are separated from the mansion, and if there is any theft, they dare not rush in.

Besides, in those houses dwelt fat servants, who were more fierce than anything else.

When she arrived at the ground, Zhang De arrived at the inner house and saw Li Zhier eating cake there, she just loved this taste, as if she couldn't miss a day.

It's just a gauze dress, but it can't stop the slightly bulging lower abdomen. The healthy woman told her about the lying position of the fetus, and she had long forgotten it to the clouds. This scene is lying on the chaise longue with his back facing the sky, and his two white and tender feet are resting on the shelf, eager to be taller than a person.

Holding a round golden cake in one hand, with raisins, chopped pine nuts and faintly chopped walnuts embedded on it, it is a great appetite at a glance. In the other hand, holding an idle legend, it is the story of Dayu's water control.

Seeing Zhang De coming, this girl didn't feel that she had no manners, and said: "You said that this Dayu controlled the water, and he didn't enter the house for three years, and then his wife gave him a son, which is simply ......."

"Why do you want so much cotton?"

"You don't give it?"

Speaking of the important thing, An Ping immediately threw away the legend, ate the cake in his hand in two bites, and then stared at him with apricot eyes: "Yu is also for the future, even if his son does not become an official in the future, it is good to leave some property heirlooms, Amway, at most a mouthful of soup, it is good." ”

"What's wrong with my son? I like little girls. ”

"Phew! I know you like little girls! Do you have less little girls you like?! Your lady is not even satisfied when she is ten years old! ”

It's dirty! How to keep mentioning this stubble.

"Okay, okay, you can say whatever you say, you say give birth to a son, and what is in this belly is a son." Lao Zhang sat on the stool and patted Anping's lower abdomen.

Li Zhi'er slapped his paw away, and then said shyly: "The concubine has even thought of her name." ”

"Oh? Names matter, so you have to think about a few. ”

"It's not going to be bad."

An Ping's eyes were shining: "If you can be an official, you must have no taboos, not to be the prime minister, a very popular minister, how can you be Yu's son." ”

"Oh?"

"Look at Changsun Chong's father, that's it. No taboos, good name, good name. ”

Lao Zhang had a sense of foreboding.

Without waiting for the corners of his mouth to twitch, An Ping said sweetly: "Ah Lang, what do you think of the name Wuji?" ”

"Surname Li?"

"Phew, the concubine is also your person, naturally surnamed Zhang ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

An Ping saw that Zhang De's expression was the same as constipation, and then said: "If you don't like to be a civil official, it's not bad to be a military attachΓ©." Just count on him to be strong and strong, your guards are quite capable, that Zhang Qingshan is really brave. If you pick up a similar name, you can also be protected by Zhang Qingshan. ”

"What's the name?"

"Green Mountain."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Not yet? Cuishan is a little more elegant, not stable enough, why not call it a mountain? It's a little cheesy, but if you change the word, the mountain is replaced by three, which adds interest and is a little more far-reaching. ”

"......" (To be continued.) )
