Fang Xuanling watched Cheng Yaojin hand over the spun cotton threads to the weaver girl sitting in front of the loom.
In a short time, the weaver girl started to operate quickly, and with the sound of the loom, white folded cloth began to appear on the loom.
All the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty were feeling very excited at this moment.
In the past, they only knew that white folded cloth was expensive. In their minds, it must be because the process of white folded cloth was too complicated.
But now, after Cheng Yaojin's explanation, they all realized that this white folded cloth was actually the least complicated among all the weavings.
You only need to plant them, then pick them and dry them, and then you can start using them to remove the seeds and spin them for weaving.
Its convenience, compared to hemp and silk, is simply ridiculously convenient.
"His grandma's..." Xue Youjun and Liu Hongji made such sad and angry complaints at the same time.
Just now when that guy Cheng Yaojin was gibbering, they felt like they were insulted.
Until now, I finally reacted.
However, Fang Xuanling had already caught Cheng Yaojin's wrist with agility that surpassed that of a gentle man, and said with gleaming eyes.
"I dare to ask Brother Zhijie, what is the cotton yield per acre, and will it encroach on cultivated land?"
"One acre of this cotton can produce four to five hundred kilograms of seed cotton. If you want to grow this cotton, you don't need to invade my Datang's farmland."
"You all don't know why the 500,000 acres of wasteland awarded to Han and Tang merchants by Your Majesty was in Liangzhou?"
"Just because this cotton crop is resistant to drought, loves sunshine, and can be grown even in saline-alkali soil..."
Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and high-fived with a look of surprise on her face.
"No wonder His Majesty was so generous and rewarded 500,000 acres of wasteland for Han and Tang merchants to grow cotton."
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin raised his voice again.
"In addition, the imperial court is preparing to go out next year to attack Gaochang, which is harassing our Tang Dynasty border. It is very bitter and cold in the Western Regions, so...
My Saburo has promised His Majesty that by the beginning of next summer, he will contribute 50,000 sets of white folded cloth winter coats and gloves to the imperial court free of charge."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Ping handed over the winter coat made of white laminated cloth, as well as the pair of cotton gloves.
Li Jing took the winter coat in his hands and felt the soft texture and thick warmth, and couldn't help but look surprised.
"Everyone, come and give it a try. I think this thing is really good..."
A group of old soldiers stretched out their big hands and touched this thing in admiration.
Fang Xuanling took the cotton pants, tried them, and said loudly, "Fifty thousand sets, this is not a small amount."
"But your family, Saburo, is very clever. Not only did he try to grow cotton, but he was also able to make cloth from it so easily."
"Our old Cheng family has harvested hundreds of thousands of kilograms of cotton from the more than 1,300 acres of cotton..."
"A set of winter clothes like this and a pair of gloves consume less than four pounds of cotton, which is completely satisfactory."
After all the court officials gradually calmed down, all the weavers and machines were moved outside the hall.
Cheng Yaojin glanced around and saw the juniors who were also overwhelmed with excitement and were chirping in low voices.
He immediately became happy and gave a big slap.
"Boss, second brother, don't stand still. The elders want to eat and chat here. You young people can go find your own fun."
Then, the shareholders of Zhen Han Tang Trading Company could only bow and leave in disgrace.
The biological fathers of a few shareholders were left here to discuss important matters.
However, these juniors don’t think it’s a big deal. After all, my own father is willing to help. Is he not happy that he can continue eating, drinking and spending time?
After they left, Li Jing was stroking his long beard and felt dumbfounded.
"Before, we had just sorted out the affairs in Jiaozhou, but before we could take a break, your family, Saburo, had another big happy event."
"It is indeed a great event, but just cultivating half a million acres of wasteland will take a lot of effort."
"You must not forget that after the cotton harvest next year, you will have to contribute 200,000 sets of winter clothes to the court."
There was already a commotion in the front hall, and a group of famous generals from the Tang Dynasty, who were elders, began to come up with ideas on how to deal with the five hundred thousand acres of wasteland.
Someone who has a good relationship with Li Daliang has decided to send a letter to Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, to say hello after returning home.
What's more, another group of people have to be dispatched to Liangzhou. Not only do they need people, but they also need farming tools and cattle...
In short, every household has begun to use their brains, and everyone understands that since His Majesty has left these five hundred thousand acres of wasteland in the open.
Firstly, because of the cotton produced by this boy Cheng Sanlang, the court and even the people of the world will not be too sad in the winter in the future.
Secondly, I naturally hope that all the houses and houses of the Han and Tang dynasties can contribute.
After all, His Majesty had previously proposed to relocate the people to fill the land in Longyou, but many ministers in the court used it as a reason for wasting people and hurting money.
Your Majesty could only put down this thought.
But now, cotton, a cash crop that is very suitable for planting in Longyou, has appeared.
It will inevitably make Longyou, which was originally only a strategic location and trade route, become more eye-catching.
As vested interests in cotton fabrics, if they, the top dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, had such a good opportunity, they would not act as soon as possible.
Do we have to wait for those noble princes of the Manchu Dynasty who are still unaware of the twists and turns here to wake up and rush to get cotton?
#####
In the following days, countless ministers and nobles in Chang'an City once again noticed something strange.
A group of important military officials of the Tang Dynasty, headed by Cheng Yaojin, seemed to want to do something again.
However, the news that has been circulated is all related to the Han and Tang Trading Company established by the group of Ziwu Xun's disciples.
I heard before that those young people were clamoring to go to Jiaozhou to start a pepper plantation.
In fact, many ministers and ministers were a little moved, but Jiaozhou was really far away and they wanted to go there to do things.
People always feel that it is not worth the investment. After all, it is too far there.
Moreover, it was said that the Han and Tang dynasties wanted to artificially cultivate pepper. Regarding this, everyone kept silent with a tacit understanding and would wait and see.
When one day they really achieve results, it won't be too late to send people to Jiaozhou to try hard.
Now it's up to those young people who don't know what to do to help find the way, why not.
But this time, the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants were planning to go to Longyou to plant cotton.
This made all the ministers and nobles of the court feel pain in their stomachs after hearing the news.
How could this group of children from the Wu family be so troublesome? They were either going to the south or to the northwest.
Although there is no war in the south, it is so far away that it makes people speechless.
