Seeing Li Shimin being stupid, Qin Hao wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and he had to flatter him and brag about his good spinning.

Li Shimin was also happy. As he became more and more skillful in his technique, his movements became faster and faster, and his mouth became bigger and bigger. When the last big piece of cotton was spun, he saw him take off the thread, twist it into a thick rope, and shouted hard with both arms.

"Drink!"

The result was naturally quite embarrassing. The piece of cotton thread wrapped around a piece of cotton is as thick as a slap. It would be a ghost if it could be pulled off. But Li Shimin was not angry but happier. He laughed and said, "It's so strong, so strong. I have this thing, so why worry about the unfairness in the world!"

Li Shimin has a sense of his own strength. There are no people in the world who are stronger than him, but there are definitely not many. He failed to pull this thread, which is enough to prove that his tenacity is far greater than that of twine.

Qin Hao and the hundreds of cavalry soldiers naturally flattered again. But as they patted, Li Junxian took the lead, but started crying. At first, they cried alone, but later more and more people cried. Those who didn't know thought that Qin Hao's family was dead.

Li Shimin said in confusion: "Why is General Li crying?"

"The Lord atones for his sins, I have lost my composure, I have been in trouble since childhood, and when I was a child, I was half a life away when I was young. My mother froze to death. If this thing had appeared a few years ago, my family might not have...ah."

Li Shimin also sighed a little. Although he was born as a noble young man, he was not unaware of the sufferings of the world. He sighed and said to Qin Hao: "This thing will save the lives of tens of thousands of people if it appears a year earlier. I don't know how long it will take to cultivate these cottons to the whole country. Do you think this thing is everywhere in the country of India? What if I set up a large army to fight it?"

puff!

Qin Hao was so hung up and spurted out an old blood. I'm crazy. This is true. It should be said that he is indeed Li Shimin. In order to light cotton, the first reaction in his mind was to fight.

"I think it's not possible. Tianzhu is too far away from our dynasty. If you walk by land, you must cross the Tuyuhun and Tubo Plateaus and cross the highest mountain range in the world. If you go far, it will be the road to Xuanzang to obtain Buddhist scriptures. It's not too far to say that the road along the way, but also that it's a bit too long. Moreover, the place is so hot that it's severely miasma, it's really not suitable for military use. If someone is sent to take it with Xuanzang, it's hard to say that the journey will be difficult, and even a hundred or more people may not be able to get much. In a few years, even if this cotton cannot be planted all over the Tang Dynasty, it's still possible to fill the warehouses. It's useless to have that little cotton."

Li Shimin nodded and then suppressed the idea of ​​dispatching the army. It seemed that this thing could only wait patiently. If you want to put on cotton clothes, you may have to wait for two years.

But Qin Hao continued, "I think that Tianzhu is full of treasures, and its people are weak and unaware of it. If we can carry out navigation and trade, it is also a blessing for our Tang Dynasty. If we can have a fleet of ships going into the sea, contact the countries of India through sea transportation, and let them recognize the status of Tiankhan, it may not be impossible."

Qin Hao also had a sudden idea. You should know that although the navigation technology was mature during the Tang Dynasty, there was basically no problem with near-shore voyages. There is an example. The Japanese envoys sent to Tang Dynasty recorded twenty times and nineteen times in the Tang Dynasty. That is to say, only one twenty times went to sea to bury the sea, with a safety rate of 95%, which is much higher than the European sailing period.

However, the Tang Dynasty did not pay enough attention to the sea. Most of its energy was devoted to the west and I basically didn't look at the south. The so-called Maritime Silk Road never reached a scale.

If Li Er could take this opportunity to become interested in the south, give importance to the navigation industry, and even colonize India, it would be much easier than pursuing the Western Regions! Even with the key support of the imperial court, it would be impossible to discover the new continent.

Li Shimin said strangely: "Treasures everywhere? Are there any other treasures in the place of India besides this cotton?"

"Yes, for example, I know that there is a kind of rice in the south, with a yield of more than three times that of my Tang Dynasty in a specific area, and it is not picky about the land, and it is more resistant to..."

"How many? More than three times?"

Qin Hao nodded. Chameng rice seeds are ripe three times a year in the Jiangnan region, and the yield is no problem compared to the original ancient rice yield. There is also sugarcane. The thing is not available at the Tang Dynasty at this time. Qin Hao was almost crazy if he wanted to eat a bite of sweet and sour tenderloin.

Li Shimin's eyes turned green immediately and he shouted: "Hurry up, get me a map, I want to send troops! Even if I raise all one million soldiers, I will take down this place."

Of course, there was no map of India in the Tang Dynasty, but Qin Hao could draw a brief picture based on his memory. After learning that it was so hard to walk from land, Li Shimin had to sigh. It seemed that this place could only be walked from the sea.

"I heard from Xuanling that your Qing Gang wanted a shipbuilding in Yangzhou shipyard?"

"yes."

"Well... Now that the treasury is not abundant, it is really difficult to give you too much support. Let's do this. From now on, the court will not take any money from all river channels. The Qinggang industry will be exempted within five years. You can build ships for me with peace of mind. The boatmen enjoy the treatment of the government soldiers. After the autumn harvest every year, the court will train them. Do business on weekdays and catch fish. How about it?"

Li Shimin was thinking about the reform of the government system recently, but after talking a few words, he opened a navy military army for the Tang Dynasty. Qin Hao was also drunk.

What's the situation? According to this statement, what's going on in the Qing Gang to develop into a self-sufficient Tang naval army? This is still the civil organization I am familiar with? In addition, if the Qing Gang develops into a naval army, what will Zhang Liang do in the future? Can I still be the leader of the Qing Gang?

"You still have to take care of this Qing Gang. Then I will give up the two-year period. What should I do specifically? You can discuss with Xuanling and the others."

Yes, Qin Hao felt that after just a while, his whole life felt like he was derailed. Isn’t this just to bring you to see the cotton?

But since he has arrived here, Qin Hao has to stop talking. He is almost conditioned and has no time to think about it. Qin Hao can only say: "I, thank you for your kindness."

When he looked up, Li Shimin's mouth was raised and he was looking at Qin Hao with a successful gaze. Qin Hao felt a little embarrassed. There would be no pitfalls here.

"Very good. I'll give you three years. In three years, I'll want one hundred large ships and five hundred small ships, how about it?"

puff!

"More...how many? Riverboats or seaboats?"

"Of course it's a sea boat. Can Tianzhu pass through the river?"

Qin Haote wants to scold me, you are sick, right? Do you know how much the cost of a sea ship is! One hundred warships! What do you think you are the Spanish Invincible Fleet? It’s still three years. Don’t mention the tax you exempt, even if you spend all the money in the treasury, it’s not enough!

"Master, this... this is impossible. Not to mention three years, even if you have been a 10-year-old minister..."

"If you can't make it, behead your head."

Ga?

Qin Hao was very suspicious whether Li Shimin was looking for trouble for Pei Ji's case.

Li Shimin patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said, "I know it's difficult. Just the profit from the Qing Gang is like a drop in the bucket, but you should have a way, right? When you were a victim of the disaster, you could help King Hejian and King Huai'an to make millions of profits, let alone now? There is no law to do anything, do you have any ideas and support you need, but I will see my fleet in three years."
