Li Tai folded the cotton handkerchief again, then put it on his forehead to absorb sweat for a while. As expected, the sweat-absorbing effect was excellent, much better than silk handkerchief!
"This handkerchief made of Gaochang cotton is really easy to use, soft and sweat-absorbent."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "That's not true. King Wei, Princess Changle, I asked people from the clan to bring cotton seedlings by water transport, and gave them to the villagers on credit. Sowing is about to start this month."
April is an extremely busy month for Lin Wanwan's dealers. Sweet potatoes, corn and cotton must be sown this month.
These seeds were nominally brought from Luan County, but in fact they were not at all. They were just moved from modern times in a warehouse rented by Lin Wanwan.
"Father said that what is planted in the fields should not be changed easily. Le'an, if you bring so many crops from the Western Regions and overseas to plant them, aren't you afraid that the Ministry of Industry will send people to pull them out? You can just return sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yielding crops.
Can cotton be as productive as Mager?"
Li Lizhi interjected and asked: "Li Tai, do you also know about sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
Li Tai said matter-of-factly: "I know, Xiao Zifang of the Lanling Xiao family made an appearance last year!"
Originally, Xiao Chong and Li Tai were in the same generation as their great-grandmother, and Li Shimin should have called Xiao Yu his uncle.
However, after the political marriage between the two parties, according to Princess Xiangcheng, Xiao Chong became Li Tai's junior again. Lin Wanwan followed Xiao Chong in seniority calculation, and she was also a junior.
After hearing Lin Wanwan say that she had returned to the courtyard, not long after, Lu Shouyue, who was at Gudu University, came over, accompanied by two bodyguards and three chefs.
There are already a lot of messages on the phone, the most numerous of which are from Lu Shouyue.
Lin Wanwan returned the favor with a blessing gift.
The happiest person is Li Zhi. He has never played so happily before!
Shortly after seeing off the three distinguished guests, Lin Wanwan returned to the study and saw Ouyang Xun's framed calligraphy.
Lu Shouyue smiled: "There are new and delicious ones."
The three of them chatted for a while, then watched the sun getting higher and slowly walked towards the workshop.
For Li Tai, Li Lizhi, and Li Zhi, today's spring outing at Lin Wanwan Manor was fruitful.
"Oh, yes, we have it in Luan County. My mother seems to have a piece of cotton cloth from Luan County as tribute." Princess Changle remembered.
Not to mention, there are now a few more educated servants in the house, and their work efficiency has improved a lot.
The one who gained the most was Li Tai. On this day, he saw a bobbin truck and got cotton seedlings. He saw the hard work of farmers in the countryside of Datang, and chatted with Ye Ye again.
After listening to Lin Wanwan's popular science, he immediately asked Lin Wanwan about buying cotton seedlings.
Li Tai smiled and said: "Le'an is interested. Xiao Zifang listed several items that are beneficial to farming last year. I don't know if there are any such items. When I go back, I will ask the Ministry of Industry and ask for a reward for you two."
"There are not many seedlings transported from Luan County this time, but if King Wei is really interested, I will give you some evenly."
"Teacher Lu, why is there an extra chef today?" Lin Wanwan asked casually.
As he spoke, he handed the porcelain bottle in the box to Lin Wanwan: "Here, this is the one you stole."
Anyway, the more credit the better for Xiao Chong, so just give it to him. Besides, it was indeed Xiao Chong and his Mohist disciples who first proposed Quyuanli, and Lin Wanwan gave some opinions at the time.
When Lin Wanwan's scientific pig farm is built, it will be green organic pigs. The fat meat will be used to make soap and the lean meat will be eaten. It will be much cleaner than the current pork in the Tang Dynasty, and it will be much greener and healthier than modern pork.
In fact, it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
Lin Wanwan said quickly: "I don't dare to be greedy for credit. The King of Wei only mentioned my cousin. I know both the barrel cart and the Qu Yuan Li from my cousin."
"In that case, thank you Le'an." Li Tai cupped his hand towards Lin Wanwan.
If it hadn't been for the miraculous horseshoe incident later, Xiao Chong might not have been able to do well.
"This thing already exists in Luan County. Maybe my cousin knew about it from agricultural books. I saw that there were many inconveniences in the canal here, so I asked a craftsman to build one to try out the effect. I didn't expect it to be very good."
Li Tai was so well-informed. He had long heard that Li Shimin wanted to marry Lin Wanwan as a beauty, but was rejected. Then Xiao Zifang caught up with Li Shimin's anger and used the invention of firearms to ask Li Shimin for a marriage.
It's almost like a face-to-face provocation.
When Li Tai heard that Lin Wanwan was so humble, he immediately looked at her differently. No wonder Xiao Zifang didn't hesitate to offend Ye Ye for her!
Today, I played house with Xiao Qingyu for a long time and acted as parents to a few toys. Xiao Qingyu also gave him a very smart civet cat named Xiaosan.
When she returns to Luan County, Lin Wanwan will also replicate what she did here and open a soap workshop branch and a pig farm.
After talking about the cotton, Li Tai pointed to the barrel lane in front of him: "This thing is wonderful. It can speed up with the flow. It can fall back when it is high. It does not require human or animal power. It has more advantages than rolling over. Le'an, who is this?
Created?"
As the leader in the industry, it is really difficult to avoid Lu Shouyue in the antiques field.
Lin Wanwan then gave the two princes and princesses some popular science about cotton cultivation and weaving, and they both listened with great interest.
Lin Wanwan and Li Lizhi's workshop now requires a lot of oil every day, and she has already begun to think about building a pig farm of her own.
Although Li Tai is young, he has many ideas. And because of Li Shimin's special love, he also has different ambitions in his heart, so he is also quite sensitive to civil affairs.
Holding the national treasure in hand, Lin Wanwan returned to modern times.
"Thank you, Teacher Lu." Lin Wanwan happily took it. This porcelain was a piece of cake, and she could just sell it for money.
Regarding pig raising, she bought several modern books on how to raise pigs, castrate pigs, postpartum care of sows, how to treat sick pigs, etc.
Lin Wanwan is really hard to answer. There is no conclusion on when the barrel cart was invented, but it must have been used in the Tang Dynasty, and the current Zhenguan Dynasty has not yet begun to use it. Later, it was also spread to the island country. It is said in the history book of the island country
It is a waterwheel from the Tang Dynasty.
The most satisfied person was Li Lizhi, who saw the prosperous Zao Le Fang that she worked with Lin Wanwan.
"Hey, Teacher Lu helped me find the lost property? The person who sold the stolen goods was also arrested?" Lin Wanwan was surprised after seeing the message, "This world is really small, it turns out that Teacher Lu is also connected with that antique shop.
"
"Teacher Lu, please help me sell this. Items that have been touched by thieves are very dirty and I don't want them anymore."
Lu Shouyue said happily: "Okay."
"There are two more that the thief touched at home, and they were sold together."
