Just when everyone was in an uproar and Zhang Yushi's eyes widened, Chu Xingchen continued, "But I am not doing it for its beauty, but because it is full of treasures, and it is a crop that can affect our country, Chu, and even the whole world."
After hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but raise their voices even in the court. Zhang Yushi's voice was even louder, to the effect that Chu Xingchen should stop talking nonsense and exaggerating in order to get away from guilt.
"What I said is the truth. If you don't believe it, you just don't understand...Bai Yunhua."
Chu Xingchen's mouth twitched when he said the last three words. In fact, the original owner went to search for and acquire white cloud flowers, not for business, but because Xie Ziqing praised that white cloud flowers are like clouds, pure and beautiful.
He felt that Baiyunhua looked like Chen Ruoshui, so he praised it a few times. After hearing his praise, the original owner wanted to buy expensive and rare flowers and give them to Xie Ziqing to make him happy.
But after Chu Xingchen saw the so-called white cloud flowers, she didn't know whether to say a dirty word or not, because she discovered that the so-called white cloud flowers were actually cotton!
She was speechless and recalled that when cotton was first introduced, people only regarded cotton as an ornamental plant and did not realize its economic value. This was also the case in Dachu now.
But this cotton is very useful!
"I accidentally learned that the white cloud flower is actually called cotton, which can be made into fabrics of various specifications. Cotton fabrics are strong and wear-resistant, can be washed, and can be ironed at high temperatures. Cotton absorbs and dehumidifies quickly, so it is still comfortable to wear.
Comfortable.”
"In addition to making clothes, it can also be filled with quilts to make cotton-padded clothes. Thick quilts and cotton-padded clothes can keep people warm in winter, and people's lives can be improved."
"The flowers of this cotton can be used, and the cotton seeds can be extracted for oil. It is full of treasures. It is not only an important fiber crop, but also an important oil crop. It takes up everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is very rare, so I asked people to collect it.
"
Everyone who didn't believe it at first, gradually became serious after hearing what Chu Xingchen said was more and more useful.
After all, Chu Xingchen had made a kang before, and it was no longer the same as before, without any credibility.
The Queen's expression also changed, and she immediately realized how much impact this would have on Da Chu if it was true.
If it is true, Chu Xingchen did not make a big mistake, but made a great contribution.
Chu Xingchen was immediately surrounded by everyone, just to ask about the function of cotton. Even the queen came down and looked around the cotton together.
Chu Xingchen really collected a lot of cotton, and she was able to collect so much in this season. She had to thank the people who wanted to frame her for being so stupid. The people who helped her took the initiative to send these cottons to her.
in the hands of people.
In order to cooperate with the impeachment, the purchaser was specially asked to come back today.
Originally, such a large piece of expensive and useless white cloud flowers was placed in front of me. Under the premise of greed for materials, it would become evidence of crime, which is shocking.
But now the white cloud flower is called cotton, and it has changed from an ornamental flower to a crop related to people's livelihood, and its meaning has completely changed.
Seeing this piece of cotton, everyone's eyes lit up and they said, "Your Majesty, you bought well."
"Yes, the lady is really thoughtful."
Amidst the praise, Zhang Yushi's face turned purple, and his desperate remonstrance turned into a joke at this moment. He didn't know how things turned out like this.
But no one paid attention to him at this moment. Everyone was chasing Chu Xingchen, wishing they could turn cotton into a piece of clothing on the spot. Chu Xingchen was embarrassed. There were many steps in this. She didn't know how to remove seeds or play cotton.
.
But their demands were too strong. In the end, Chu Xingchen had no choice but to let Wan Dong come in and reluctantly let her make a small cotton-filled sleeve to let everyone feel the warmth of cotton first.
Because I was called in temporarily in late winter, the fabric is also for girls, and the color is pink and cute. This color is insulated from the ministers in the hall, but today they are all trying to wear it.
"Put it on for me and see!"
"I'll try first, I'll come first!"
After some looting, they took turns to feel the warmth of the cotton. Their eyes were so bright that they looked like they were about to eat someone. They hadn’t seen the cotton yet, but the warmth of the cotton was enough to make them moved, not to mention that it could extract oil.
At this time, who still remembers what happened before? Zhang Yushi originally had the chance to win, but looking at the changes in front of him, he just felt that he was dreaming.
It was not a dream, why was this scene in front of him? In the end, he could only try to find fault, and asked about the planting and yield status, hoping to pour cold water on everyone and stop everyone from being deceived by Chu Xingchen.
"Cotton has a large output and low production costs. In the future, people in Chu will be able to plant it. When more cotton is planted, the price of cotton products will be low. I believe that in the future, people in Chu will be able to wear new cotton-padded clothes and eat better."
Chu Xingchen's words made everyone's hearts feel hot, "Okay, well said!"
Looking at Chu Xingchen who was surrounded in the middle, Zhang Yushi's face was gloomy, and there were several people who also had bad expressions. They were all Chen Ruoshui's men.
Yes, this attack was also initiated by Chen Ruoshui's man. It didn't work last time. This time he kept up his efforts. He was clearly about to deal with Chu Xingchen, but the result was just like last time, but Chu Xingchen took off again, and this time
This time it was even more shocking than the last time.
In the end, the Queen did not disappoint Chu Xingchen, and announced on the spot a thorough investigation into the frame-up of the Crown Princess. After the thorough investigation, all those involved were punished. Zhang Yushi was also dismissed from office in court, saying bluntly that he was not worthy of being a Yushi.
The Queen did not punish the censor directly, nor did she make him a boss. Although he was not worthy of being a censor, it made the censor more uncomfortable than being cut to pieces with a thousand cuts.
Zhang Yushi originally wanted to leave a name in history, but ended up being infamous for thousands of years.
Because of the cotton matter, when Chu Xingchen returned to the East Palace, he felt that his throat was hoarse and his spine felt chilly.
Chu Xingchen realized later that her back was covered in cold sweat. Going to court was like going to a battlefield and she had to break in it accidentally.
Late Winter looked at Chu Xingchen with admiration and carefully served her to drink water, "Your Highness, I don't even know that you asked people to collect white clouds... cotton because of its effect. I misunderstood you before."
Chu Xingchen said to his heart that you didn't misunderstand, and asked directly, "Did the palace man explain anything last night?"
"No, and he seemed very excited, as if he was waiting for some good news..."
"Probably he's waiting for news of my misfortune. I'll see him after dinner later."
After not seeing him for a night, the palace man's whole person changed. It looked like he had been tortured. Chu Xingchen didn't say much about this. When he saw the palace man, he didn't talk nonsense. "You assassinated me because you joined forces with people outside the palace."
Right?"
"I don't know what you said." The palace man said sternly.
Chu Xingchen smiled and said, "The plan is very good and very vicious. The imperial censor remonstrated, and then used the news of the assassination of the imperial concubine to make the matter bigger. Then it was spread that I had embezzled the relief materials, so that everyone in the world could see it.
Look at how stupid, incompetent and miserable I am, I deserve to be assassinated when the time comes. I deserve to die, right?"
