Li Ke rubbed his hands. His Royal Highness, who was so poor that he had to carry his clothes to pawnshops all day long, rubbed his hands and smiled mischievously.
"Of course I trust you, dear brother, but having said that, white folded cloth is very expensive."
"Brother, I think..."
"I don't want you to think, I want me to think that if the white cloth should realize its due value, it must be lowered."
"Let it become a piece of cloth that every citizen of the Tang Dynasty can afford and wear."
"???" Cheng Ping and Li Ke both stared blankly at Cheng Sanlang, who looked upright and solemn.
I always felt that it was a bit strange for him to say such words, too righteous and awe-inspiring, too strong-willed.
This is not like him, not like that Cheng Sanlang who is greedy for money.
Cheng Chubi sniffed and raised a finger.
"I can't let those barbarians from the Western Regions use rags like white folded cloth to make money from our Tang Dynasty."
"So, I will use white laminated fabric that is more affordable and high-quality for anti-dumping.
Let them only take precious metals like gold and silver in exchange for my property of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Ke's face slowly darkened, and he couldn't help but utter something.
"Brother Chu Bi, can you please speak something humanly that I can understand?"
"Dear brother, we can't always focus on money. This is just small money, and the big money is hidden behind."
"Just like our Han and Tang dynasties, if they want to do things that benefit the country and the people, do you understand?"
Cheng Chubi glanced at Li Ke, who just wanted to pick sesame seeds but almost couldn't see the watermelon.
Although Li Ke was still confused, he looked at it based on the rich experience of working together for so many years.
In Brother Chu Bi's mind, which is full of ghost ideas, most likely the inspiration and spark to make a lot of money and make a fortune have burst out.
Thinking of this, the poor ghost prince Li Ke had a happy smile on his face.
Quietly, he retreated into the shadows and continued to caress the two large boxes of snow-white and warm seed cotton affectionately with the handsome man.

When Cheng Ping and others were led by Deng Chengxin to rest, Cheng Chubi sat comfortably on the couch, drinking chrysanthemum tea...
Well, when I arrive in the beautiful southwest, the first thing I need to buy is tea and other drinks, and the second thing I need to buy is pepper and other spices.
Otherwise, drinking wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea all day long will be too good for your health.
This is a benefit that middle-aged and elderly people should receive, not young people like me who have not even married a wife yet.
Cheng Chubi looked at the two shareholders of the Han and Tang Dynasty Trading Firm and spoke in a serious voice.
"My dear brothers, you must have heard just now that the yield of this cotton per mu can be almost five hundred kilograms."
"Do you understand what this means?"
"What ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty wear is linen, and although the yield per acre of hemp is higher than that of cotton, it is about the same amount."
"But if you want to make linen cloth, the process is not only complicated, but also if one acre of hemp is finally turned into linen cloth, the cloth yield rate will probably not exceed 10%."
"But for this cotton, the garment rate can be as high as 30% to 40%.
Moreover, this stuff can not only be woven into cloth, but can also be filled into clothes to keep warm."
Cheng Chubi was chattering here, while Li Ke took a piece of seed cotton and looked at it carefully in his hand, while listening attentively to what Brother Chubi said.
He was rapidly calculating the pros and cons in his heart, while Fang Jun scratched his head and clumsily tore the cotton seeds in the cotton with his fingers.
"Brother Chu Bi, you have already planted this thing in Chang'an. But if we want to plant it, don't we have to seize farmland?"
Cheng Chubi immediately became happy and slapped Fang Jun with a big slap.
"Brother Jun, do you know where this thing is originally from? It is originally from the very arid Central Asia and Tianzhu areas, because this thing is very resistant to drought, salt and alkali, and likes sunlight."
"As for our Tang Dynasty, the most suitable place for planting this plant is not the Central Plains, but the barren, arid and rainless area of Longyou, and even the countries in the Western Regions..."
"Brother Chu Bi, what do you mean, we want to go north to buy land?"
Li Ke couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he thought that the pepper garden hadn't opened yet and it seemed that money was being spent here.
"No, no, no, dear brother, you are wrong. Let me put it this way. What I want to do now is to donate cotton products to your father for the country."
Looking at the heroic look on Brother Chu Bi's face, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a deep pain in his stomach. He always felt that this brother wanted to plot against him and his father.
Cheng Chubi's idea was very simple. After spending these days looking at the little flower umbrella, he realized that there was a weaver in the palace, as well as a weaving wheel, a spinning wheel and other items.
Therefore, what Cheng Chubi needed to do was to make a mechanical seed removal tool, and then let the weavers tinker with a few samples from the hundreds of kilograms of cotton.
Give His Majesty a surprise and let him know that with this item, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will no longer have to fear the severe cold.
As long as Uncle Li is happy, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who go to Gaochang Kingdom can wear warm clothes.
Cheng Chubi could only donate more than 1,000 acres of land and more than 600,000 kilograms of cotton to the country.
How could we produce ten or twenty thousand sets of winter clothes to keep the soldiers warm from the cold, so that they could joyfully jump to the Western Regions?
Defeat those barbarians from the Western Regions who dared to invade the border areas of the Tang Dynasty.
After hearing Brother Chu Bi's spit and spit for a long time, Li Ke immediately became anxious and grabbed Brother Chu Bi who was overly playful.
"Then, wouldn't we get nothing?"
"Haha, dear brother, look at you, your vision is too narrow. Who said we can't make a profit?"
#####
Cheng Chubi slapped Li Ke on the shoulder and raised his eyebrows proudly.
"Our Han and Tang Dynasty Commercial Bank donated hundreds of thousands of kilograms of cotton to relieve the winter suffering of our generals in the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty. Do you think your father can be embarrassed?"
"That's right!" Fang Jun nodded in agreement and said to Li Ke.
"Your Majesty must be polite. Otherwise, he will take advantage of us juniors. How can he be polite?"
Li Ke suddenly became energetic and his eyes shone. "My father must be embarrassed. In this case, he must give us some benefits..."
"Just a little benefit?" Cheng Chubi said unhappily. Then he lowered his voice and whispered to the two brothers.
For a short time, the scary and proud laughter started one after another.
Li Ke and Brother Jun looked at this brother Chu Bi who was full of good ideas with sincere expressions.
"The only problem now is, as long as Brother Chu Bi, you can really make the kind of tool that can deseed the machine."
"Let's go back to our brothers...forget it, Brother Jun is still returning to Zuowei, we will use these few days to get the result of this matter."
"Well, brother Jun, don't be disappointed. In order to give you a sense of participation, I will measure you later."
"According to your height and shape, I will design a set of cotton clothes for you, and you will be our mannequin."
