Chapter 594: [Cotton]
Duan Lun was very efficient. He quickly pulled most of the gardeners in Nanlinyuan under the organization of the principal, and then picked cotton...
Within half an hour, the cotton was glowed.
Li Chengqian and Duan Lun sat in the pavilion, and then walked down and walked to the pile of cotton. Only three parts of the floor had picked a lot of cotton. I wonder if it was considered high-yield.
"Your Highness, what should I do next?" Duan Lun looked at the cotton and said.
Li Chengqian said: "..."
"Hey, it's weird. I just came to see Bai Diezi, but it's gone!"
Just as Li Chengqian was about to speak, a man's voice suddenly sounded, and he seemed very dissatisfied.
Li Chengqian looked at it and it was Yuchi Gong. He was followed by two young women, and seemed to be whispering something in dissatisfaction.
At this time, Yuchi Gong did not see Li Chengqian. He reached out to hold a gardener who was about to leave and asked, "I asked you, where are these white folds? When I came to see them yesterday, weren't they all still there? Why did they all become bare today?"
The gardener was startled by the bloody momentum of the old man Yuchi Gong, and hurriedly said, "General, it was something that Duan Shangshu picked!"
"Shangshu Duan? That boy Duan Lun?" Yuchi Gong put down the gardener and was about to find Duan Lun's trouble.
Li Chengqian spoke out: "Uncle Yuchi, you are also interested in coming to enjoy the flowers!"
When Yuchi Gong heard Li Chengqian's voice, he turned his head and saw Li Chengqian and Duan Lun beside him. He quickly understood that he picked the white fold for viewing. The only one who specialized in such bad things was Li Chengqian.
"Ha, it turns out that the prince is here, I have seen the prince!"
He laughed and said politely.
He also said to the two young women behind him: "Little Thirteen, Xiao Shisi, this is the prince. Bai Diezi was picked by His Highness, so you can't complain..."
"Yes, lord." The two young women responded.
Yuchi Gong came over and Li Chengqian explained to him: "These cottons must be picked and see if they can be made into cotton jackets!"
Yuchi Gong looked at the pile of cotton on the ground. These beautiful white stacks were made into such a pile. It was really a waste of resources!
Yuchi Gong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Li Chengqian looked at the two young women and asked in surprise: "Are these two Baoqing's sisters?"
Two young women covered their mouths and smiled.
Yuchi Gong said, "This is my little thirteenth concubine, this is my little thirteenth concubine..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian almost jumped up.
This old man, who is almost 60 years old, actually has thirteen and fourteen concubines. This is a walk with his little wife to the royal garden!
He originally brought his wife to the royal garden to watch the white folds of seasonal flowers, but he didn't expect to be picked by Li Chengqian.
Now that Li Chengqian said the wrong thing again, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
He said to Duan Lun: "Shangshu Duan, these cottons will be of great use. You have to protect them and take them back first. Let's discuss how to make this cotton into clothes!"
"Here, right!" Duan Lun also knew that the atmosphere here was wrong and quickly responded.
Duan Lun quickly called in person and took the cotton back to the Ministry of Works. The cotton on the ground was soon empty. Li Chengqian waved his hand to Yuchi Gong and said, "Uncle Yuchi, you can enjoy the flowers slowly. Although there are no white buns, there are other flowers to watch. We are going to be busy with official duties, let's go first!"
After leaving Nanlinyuan, Li Chengqian and Duan Lun both breathed a sigh of relief.
We went to the Ministry of Works together. When we were on the way, Li Chengqian began to think about how to make cotton into clothes.
The easiest way is to use cotton as filling, make clothes with other cloths, and then stuff them in.
However, cotton is a more affordable raw material than other fabrics. If cotton can be used to make clothes, it will bring huge benefits. Therefore, you cannot just use it as a filler, but consider making it into a cloth.
How to make cloth from a flower? This is too complicated. Think about it later.
But now there is a problem.
Not only is it a filling, but also a cloth, it requires pure cotton.
But the picked cotton has seeds!
Where can cotton with seeds be made into fillings and where can it be made into cloth?
Then the first threshold for the cotton industry is to remove seeds!
When he arrived at the yard of the Ministry of Works, the gardener had already put the cotton here before, and Li Chengqian told him what he thought.
Duan Lun said: "Let me take it off...oh, no!"
He is still not as stupid as a pig.
Of course, these cotton seeds can be picked manually and will be picked very clean. With more workshops under the Ministry of Industry and many people, they naturally dare not have anyone to pick this pile of cotton.
But this is just such a little cotton, of course it can be picked by hand. In the future, Li Chengqian has already said that he would promote these cottons. The cotton planted is not such a small pile of cotton, but cotton all over the mountains and seas.
That's not something that humans can pick!
"Please continue the reward!" Li Chengqian said, "Let everyone in the workshop find a way to remove seeds without using human hands but using machines. Whoever thinks about it will give you a reward!"
Li Chengqian had no choice but to go, but there were too many smart people in the world. There must be a brave man under this heavy reward. Oh, he is a wise man, so let the wise man complete this big thing!
After giving the task, Li Chengzai also left the Ministry of Works.
As soon as I left the palace, I met Lao Zeng.
"Your Highness, you have found a suitable store, but the owner is unwilling to rent it out. He also wanted to sell the store and leave Chang'an because of an urgent matter. So the old slave made a good decision and bought the store and then transferred it to Mrs. Gui!" Lao Zeng said.
Li Chengqian touched his chin and asked, "Who will be the new store owner?"
"Um?"
"Who will install the new owner and rent the store to Mrs. Gui?"
Hearing this, Lao Zeng also frowned.
Li Chengqian was the first to be inappropriate, and Lao Zeng could not be the new store owner. Gui'e immediately became suspicious of him when she found out.
Since it is not Li Chengqian and Lao Zeng, it is difficult to choose this person.
Lao Long and the others were getting closer to Li Chengqian, so it was not appropriate to pretend.
"Well, I remembered alone!" Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said.
Lao Zeng looked at him curiously.
"It's Wu Zhao, that little girl is very suitable to be the shop owner." Li Chengqian said.
He asked Lao Zeng to go back to the palace first, and handed over all the store contracts he had on him to Li Chengqian.
After Li Chengqian packed it up, he went to the Hualu Shui Shop!
Since the last time he dealt with the trouble at the Hualu Water Shop, Li Chengqian has not been to the Hualu Water Shop.
