Li Er nodded. The situation here this year was better than he expected. Before, Li Er only gave Changsun 200,000 taels of silver to start-up funds. Unexpectedly, not only did he have cold-proof items, but also food. He conquered 200,000 people, seventy or eighty villages, reclaimed countless fertile fields, and built countless cement roads of unknown amounts.

Seeing that it was indeed very different from Guanzhong, Li Er was jealous of him. These were all his people, and these were the people and territory under his rule.

"But calculated this way, the cotton collected here is too much for the soldiers on the frontier to use. How do you plan to deal with this cotton?" Li Er was very curious about this.

Changsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are here just in time. Three days later, it is the first day of our ordering party. At that time, we will sell all the remaining cotton and there will be a lot of inputs."

"Oh? Is this really the case?" Li Er asked. This was the first time I heard about the ordering party. I don't know what Changsun Chong's gourd was selling!

"This is fake. Now you have to buy a lot of cotton, which requires a lot of money. The things you gave before are almost spent. If you don't find a way, I have no money to pay the wages." Changsun Chong muttered. Fortunately, the prisoners don't pay wages, coal mines, trees and other resources, and they don't need to spend money, so the biggest thing is the salary of employees.

Li Er smiled embarrassedly and said, "Haha, those who are capable work harder, otherwise they would not be entrusted with important tasks. Then it will depend on you in three days."

After seeing the cotton-padded workshop, Li Chengqian took Li Er to the spinning mill again. He originally wanted to continue to go to the weaving workshop and dyeing factory, but it was already late and he was going to go to the next day. There will be so many workshops that he will not finish it for a while, and Li Er will not leave for the time being.

At night, the inn burned a lot of hot water for everyone to take a shower and rest. Although the weather is not very hot, it is still very comfortable to take a hot bath.

The next day, after Li Er finished breakfast, he asked Li Chengqian to take him to see the workshop where weaving and dyeing cloth.

Li Er has seen a loom, but this is the first time Li Er has seen such a high efficiency loom. Because it does not require manpower, it is the steam engine that drives it to continue to rotate, and the textile shuttle is so fast that it makes people unable to slow down. The cloth is constantly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The female workers looked at a loom alone, and there were some steps that required manual labor, quick hands and feet, and focused on the work in their hands.

"How much cloth can a machine produce?" Li Er asked curiously after being surprised. He surrounded the machine up and down, left and right, carefully checked, and kept praising him.

"Dad, a machine can produce twenty meters of cloth every day!" Li Chengqian replied, "You must know that traditional teacher looms can only weave ten meters in several days, which is a hundred times more efficient."

Li Erlen took a breath. If this continues, almost any clothes will be worn in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and murmured: "Twenty feet of cloth a day, that is five pieces of cloth, and one hundred and fifty pieces of cloth can be found in a month. How many machines do you have in total?"

"There are a total of 100 machines, a total of a workshop. The second weaving factory has been built, but the machines have not yet been in place. Now the manpower is tight, and it seems that we have to wait until the autumn harvest is over." Li Chengqian explained, "We can weave 500 pieces of cloth a day."

Li Er picked up the cloth in the basket and touched it with his hands. It was very soft. Then he teared it with both hands. Well, it was very strong.

"Okay, okay!" Li Er clapped his hands and applauded. It seemed that he had asked Changsun to rush over. That was really the right thing. Where is the dyed cloth factory?"

"It's not far away, right next door to the dyeing fabric factory. If this is to reduce transportation costs, I'll choose the place nearby." Li Chengqian explained, "Dad, please slow down and go from here." Li Chengqian explained all the way and showed off in front of Li Er.

In this regard, Li Er saw that the final thing was Li Chengqian, so everyone consciously asked Li Chengqian to explain and give the prince more opportunities to show his performance.

Although it was next door, because the factory was relatively large, it took a short time to arrive. Li Chengqian took out the seal and was put in. Even if he knew him, he would not have been allowed to enter if he had not had a seal. This was a rule that had been set long ago.

There are large yards in the big yard, and the fuel is soaked in the large yards, and the colors are placed in different places. These fuels are all the formulas that Changsun Chong got in the Apocalypse space. The colors dyed are not only bright and beautiful, but also more lasting, and do not fade.

The more ordinary ones are single colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, and the yellow is tender yellow. It avoids the bright yellow worn by the emperor and makes the single colors first. The more special ones are printed cloths, which are printed with some beautiful petals or some auspicious pictures and texts, which are time-consuming and waste materials, so the price is also a little more expensive.

After passing several yards filled with large tanks, we arrived at another place to dry cloth. The cloth was placed directly in the large tank for a day and a night, and it could spread out the next day and dry it on the high pole.

I saw the colorful colors that made everyone dazzled. Li Er unconsciously liked such fabrics. Although they were not as smooth as silk, they were very soft.

"It's so great!" Li Er slapped his thigh and gently rubbed the drying cotton cloth with his hands.

"Dad, this color is so beautiful, and you're worried that it's not easy to sell!" Li Chengqian said with a smile, but today he made him show his face in front of his father.

Li Er looked around and kept surprised.

"Your Majesty, the color is so good, I want to take some back to make clothes for the wife at home." Cheng Yaojin said carelessly when he saw that he had seen it almost.

"Uncle Cheng, don't worry, I will guarantee you enough when you go back." Changsun Chong promised.

"And that quilt!" Cheng Yaojin had not forgotten the quilt cover factory I saw yesterday.

"That's natural, it's all indispensable!" Changsun smiled apologized. Anyway, when he went back, those who had good dates on weekdays would give him some.

Li Er nodded and said, "You are intent, by the way, you told me before that, where is the Western Regions and Yizhou suitable for growing cotton?"

Changsun nodded and said, "Yes, the cotton grown there is not only high yield, but also better quality than here."

"How does cotton breed?" Li Er asked again.

"Like rice, you can use cotton seeds!" Changsun Chong replied, "There is a hard lump in the innermost part of the cotton, which is cotton seeds. Although this thing cannot be eaten, it can be squeezed out oil. You can light the lamp."

"No, no cotton seed can be used as cotton seeds for next year." Li Er said in a deep voice, "I hope you haven't leaked the cotton seeds."

Changsun Chong nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, all the cotton seeds were not wasted, they were dried well and placed in the warehouse."

Li Er nodded after hearing this and said, "Go back to the station immediately, we need to discuss some cotton seeds."

When Changsun Chong saw Li Er, who was possessive, he could guess that the bad water in Li Er's stomach was coming again. Anyway, he had almost finished watching it. Li Ershuai and others returned to the inn and took out his carriage a Tang Dynasty world map.

This was what Changsun Chong returned to Chang'an to Li Er after winning the Eastern Turkic War.

At that time, Li Er, the land of the Tang Dynasty had already occupied the largest land in the world, but when Changsun Chong got this map, the surprise and loss made Li Er stare at the map for a whole day and a night.

The proud Tang Dynasty occupied a small part of the land between heaven and earth. Li Er, who was arrogant, was very unhappy. Li Er saw hope from cotton and rice.

Now the northwest region has destroyed the Eastern Turks and is in a peaceful period. What he needs to do now is to consolidate this stability, immigrate a large number of land and farm.

Cheng Yaojin, who was always whispering, was silent and leaning against the wall and dozing off; Brother Qin and Duan Zhixuan were on the left and right, and were on standby at any time. Changsun Chong, Li Chengqian and other juniors were even more afraid to fart!

After a while, Li Er finally looked up and asked, "How many cotton seeds will be there in a few years?"

Changsun Chong roughly estimated that it was more than 50,000 stones. After all, not all cotton seeds are suitable for seeds. Those small, shriveled cotton seeds cannot grow good cotton seedlings."

"About, how many acres of land can be planted?" Li Er asked.

"One acre of land requires one kilogram of cotton seeds. How many acres of land is dull and I can't figure it out." Changsun Chong replied.

"Well, can these cotton seeds be treated with powder similar to rice seeds?" Li Er asked.

"Yes." Changsun cried out, "but you have to exchange things."

"No problem, porcelain is right, I'll give you more than a dozen kilns at that time." Li Er smiled muffled and wrote down several places suitable for growing cotton, including Yizhou and Hexi Corridor River. It is probably not possible this year, and those places must be opened next year.

Li Er was in a good mood. With good things, his development in the Tang Dynasty would be even better. When he was happy, Li Er drank too much at night and held Changsun Chong's hand. He kept saying that his son had become a talent, his court officials had a strong ability, and the people had a better life.

Changsun Chong personally sent Li Er back and released him, and he was sweating all over. Li Er had no alcohol tolerance and even worse wine taste. He kept nagging, not knowing whether he was really drunk or fake.

It was already midnight when Changsun rushed back to his room. He was tired all day. Fortunately, Li Er was very satisfied with his work. Not only did he achieve a bumper harvest, but he also placed so many refugees.

From the red eyes of Li Er just now looking at the map, Changsun Chong knew that Li Er not only fell in love with the Hexi Corridor, but also the Northeast and Goguryeo region. It seems that Li Er will ask him to discuss the war situation privately tomorrow. He has to prepare well and not let Li Er send troops within three years, because he is not prepared enough, even if he is strong, he may not be able to win.

A war requires the right time, place, and people, so we cannot start a war rashly. Although the former Emperor Yang of Sui failed to conquer Goryeo in three battles, which was a matter of the previous dynasty, it was a pain in the hearts of many officials of the Tang Dynasty.
