Chapter 198 Cooperation between the cotton-padded clothes workshop and His Majesty!
Seeing that it was settled so quickly, Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned again.
Then, he couldn't help but straighten his face and asked directly.
"You two came so early today, but what's the big deal?"
After hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde remembered their purpose of coming and said with joy on their faces.
"Your Majesty, this is a great thing!"
"Oh? From a cotton-padded clothing workshop?" Li Xuan asked curiously.
"Exactly!"
Cui Hongmo nodded repeatedly, "In accordance with the king's instructions, we first gave each of my two families a set of cotton-padded clothes. After the family owners put them on, they were overjoyed. So, we also bought several sets of cotton-padded clothes and gloves for some of the great scholars in the family.
, those great scholars also liked it very much, especially the cotton gloves.
In less than a few days, the benefits of cotton gloves were spread throughout all the prefectures near Guanzhong through word of mouth from servants at home and the great Confucians. As a result, the great Confucians who were familiar with them all also liked cotton gloves."
"However, by the time they reacted, all the cotton-padded clothes and gloves in the cotton-padded clothes workshops in Chang'an City had been sold out."
"Some famous scholars who bought cotton clothes and gloves also introduced each other, so those who didn't buy cotton clothes and gloves were even more envious. Therefore, many people came to find me!"
"Especially the Cui family in Boling, the Lu family in Fanyang, the Li family in Longxi, and the Wang family in Jinyang... These aristocratic families took out the white sheets they had purchased before and asked me to sew cotton-padded clothes and gloves for them. Every two sets of cotton-padded clothes would be enough.
I will leave one set as expenses. Not to mention those cotton-padded clothes in Chang'an City, which are now priceless and unmarketable, the black seeds left behind by those white piles are also very important!"
"The key is, they still have to accept the favor!"
Li Xuan also looked happy.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde's pupils shrank and they quickly bowed their hands.
"How many black seeds from Bai Diazi have you got now?"
Li Xuan nodded lightly and asked again.
"Back to the king, I have obtained a total of one hundred catties of white seeds and black seeds so far!"
Cui Hongmo said.
"In this way, can we plant more than 20 acres of Baidianzi?"
Li Xuan frowned, calculated carefully, and said slowly.
"What the king said is true. According to what the old farmer said, growing one acre of white seeds requires about five kilograms of black seeds!"
Cui Hongmo said quickly.
“It’s still a little lacking!”
Li Xuan murmured to himself.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The two of us have collected all the Bai Diezi from the entire Guanzhong area, and even the Bai Diezi from Bingzhou and Lanzhou. However, we have only received so many Bai Diezi."
Cui Hongmo quickly handed over his hand and confessed.
"It doesn't matter, if you have more than twenty acres, let's start with more than twenty acres!"
Li Xuan sighed helplessly and continued: "In addition, you two have also released some news to the outside world, asking the farmers in the villages to take the initiative to plant Baidiezi. Although those fertile fields must grow food and cannot grow Baidiezi. But
, it can be planted in some wastelands and beside roads!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde quickly raised their hands and saluted.
Afterwards, Li Xuan was going to pick up Li Xiong lying at his feet and prepare to walk the panda around.
However, they were surprised to find that Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were still standing in the house.
"Why haven't you two left yet?"
Forehead!
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde looked startled.
"What else is there?" Li Xuan asked.
"Your Majesty, when we came here, we saw that the guards outside the village were wearing fluffy gloves in their hands. They were brightly colored and very beautiful. I wonder if your Majesty knows where these gloves come from?"
Cui Hongmo asked.
"Those woolen gloves, His Majesty gave them to the guards!"
Li Xuan replied casually.
"Wool gloves?"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde looked happy and excited.
"Your Majesty, are those gloves made of wool?"
"Yes!" Li Xuan glanced at the two people strangely.
"But Your Majesty, we don't smell anything at all. Your Majesty has a wonderful way to remove the smell of sheep?"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were even more excited.
"Haven't you already seen it?"
Li Xuan said quietly.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, could your Majesty please give the excess wool to my cotton clothes shop for sale?" Cui Hongmo said quickly.
"Not this year. Your Majesty must first equip each of the twelve guards with a pair of those woolen gloves. There is no extra woolen thread, so we can sell them to you!"
Li Xuan refused directly.
"Your Majesty, I raise countless sheep in the Guanzhong area, but only the wool is enough. How much does it cost?" Cui Hongmo said with doubts on his face.
"Then the reeling is not enough!" Li Xuan said.
"this……"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were both speechless.
Immediately, he thought of something and said again: "Your Majesty, we also have a lot of reels at home. I wonder if you can give me some wool without the smell of sheep, so that we can use the wool to spin wool threads ourselves?"
"I will give you wool without the smell of sheep, and you will spin the wool thread yourself?"
Li Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty, do you agree?"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde both couldn't help but look overjoyed.
"This king naturally agrees to such a good thing!" Li Xuan said nonchalantly.
"Then I wonder what the king has to report to your majesty?" Cui Hongmo said.
"Why this king?"
Li Xuan was startled, then chuckled and said: "Your Majesty owns 30% of the cotton clothing workshop, you can just discuss it with your Majesty directly. As for the matter of reporting, Gaoming is not here, let him go to him, Aye,
Isn’t it more convenient than this king?”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde's eyes lit up, they thanked Li Xuan and quickly looked at Li Chengqian who was standing aside.
When it comes to reporting matters to His Majesty, who else can be more convenient than His Highness the Crown Prince?
"Your Highness, I still need to trouble Your Highness with this matter!"
"Cui Langjun, I wonder what price you are going to pay to get the sheep-smell-free wool from Aye?"
Li Chengqian smiled lightly and asked slowly.
Hearing this, Li Xuan and Li Yuan showed a satisfied smile on their faces.
Cui Hongmo was stunned, then thought for a moment, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, after I take as much wool from Your Majesty and spin it into wool thread, I will return it to Your Majesty, but I still need to ask Your Majesty to give it to me.
Selling some of these woolen gloves.
After that, when Your Majesty is no longer short of woolen gloves, I will ask Your Majesty to sell the wool to us or to a cotton clothing workshop at a certain price.
I’m looking forward to spinning my own woolen gloves, and I’m looking forward to selling them myself!”
"I will report this matter to Aye!"
Li Chengqian nodded seriously.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Cui Hongmo quickly raised his hands and saluted.
Immediately, he and Zheng Mingde left with faces full of joy.
After returning to the Cui family courtyard, Cui Hongmo couldn't wait to go to the study, picked up paper and pen, and started writing letters.
After writing it, he called the Cui family guard and ordered him to quickly deliver the letter to the head of the family.
Seeing Cui Hongmo's solemn expression, the guard did not hesitate, wrapped himself in a layer of heavy clothing, then got on horseback and headed for Qingzhou.
night.
Li Chengqian came to Liangyi Hall to report to Li Shimin what happened in Lijiazhuang.
"What, Xuanba has fallen in love with the direct daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that Li Xuan was so interested in the wife's daughter from the Cui family in Qinghe.
Later, when he heard the conversation between Cui Hongmo and Li Xuan again, Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What happened to the Cui family's legitimate daughter seemed to be exactly what Xuan Ba said, she came just for Xuan Ba!
Moreover, the girl from the Cui family is said to be a top choice for her figure and appearance!
