Chapter 303
Chapter 303
After talking about honeycomb coal and iron stoves, and building a cement road from Yunzhong County to Luoyang.
Yingchen motioned for Cao Huachun and Yuhuatian to serve a few plates.
Inside this plate is the cotton.
Of course, the cotton that can be taken by Yingchen is the cotton that has been deseeded.
Most of these ministers present were born into noble families.
In the past two years, the communication between Guanzhong and the Western Regions has become more and more.
Therefore, cotton, a plant, should not be used as an ornamental plant and sent to the homes of many dignitaries in Guanzhong.
This is also in line with historical inertia.
In the beginning, cotton was introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions and was cultivated as an ornamental plant.
So seeing Yingchen bring two trays of cotton with two henchmen, the underground minister was suddenly a little surprised.
They couldn't figure out what Yingchen was trying to do.
Of course, out of trust and respect for Yingchen, they will not say anything, but quietly wait for Yingchen to say his intentions.
Sure enough, then Yingchen began to answer these people's doubts.
When Yingchen told these people that the cotton 190 in his hand could be used to keep warm and was not weaker than those animal skins, or even stronger.
Not to mention these ministers, even Yingzheng was stunned.
They didn't expect that a few small pieces of cotton would have such a big effect.
Yingchen didn't do anything else, but asked Yingzheng and Li Si to put their palms in the cotton.
It's not as cold as it used to be, but it's still the end of March.
So the temperature is around a few degrees.
When Ying Zheng and Li Si put their palms in the cotton and let it go for half a minute, they felt the benefits of the cotton.
Sure enough, this thing really keeps you warm!
At this moment, whether it was Ying Zheng or Li Si, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
As the top group of talents in this era, although they have great limitations because of the times.
However, this does not mean that when something that is good enough to benefit the country and the people and affect future generations appears, they will not feel it at all.
They had already realized that the honeycomb coal invented by Yingchen was actually a CABF invention on the same level as the importance of cotton today.
However, since Yingchen didn't deliberately emphasize this point before, they didn't say anything.
It's good now.
When they came into contact with cotton, they immediately felt it keenly.
From now on, the people of Daqin will undoubtedly have a better time in winter.
And after Ying Zheng and Li Si, the rest of the ministers also felt the warmth of cotton.
In this way, the ministers in the entire Xianyang Palace were all excited.
In this case, Yingchen said his true purpose: "This plant is going to be named cotton. "
"Since this cotton can have such a good warming effect, then we should make every effort to expand the production area of cotton."
Hearing this, both Ying Zheng and Li Si couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.
Obviously, after feeling the warming effect of cotton, they all realized the importance of expanding the cotton production area.
Immediately afterwards, Yingchen said: "Most of this cotton is now planted in the Western Regions, and Guanzhong and other places in the Central Plains have no experience in large-scale cotton planting. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) )
"The relevant problems have been handed over to the children of the farmers, and I hope that they will promote and summarize the experience of planting cotton in Guanzhong and other places in the Central Plains as soon as possible."
"There is no way to get a result of this matter for at least two years."
"So in this case, what we can do is to expand the cotton planting area in the Western Regions!"
"This matter is an important part of our Daqin in the next few years."
"After all, now Daqin has basically solved the problem of eating by promoting corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the next thing is to keep warm."
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but admire Yingchen.
If it were another emperor, with the current prestige and merits, I am afraid that he would already be complacent, and then enjoy the world.
After all, in terms of Yingchen's current merit and prestige, as long as he doesn't go crazy, for at least thirty years, Daqin will continue to move forward along the current track.
Of course, this situation can only last for thirty years.
Thirty years later, the generation that was influenced by Yingchen was basically old, and a new generation appeared.
Yingchen's merit and prestige will undoubtedly be greatly weakened.
This is not subject to human will.
Of course, all this is based on the premise of winning Chen's self-containedness and insolence in the government.
Just like Li Longji in history.
If Li Longji had only reigned for thirty years, then Li Longji would have been the second most intelligent saint in the entire Tang Dynasty, and perhaps even on a par with Li Shimin.
No, even if Li Longji had reigned for forty years, his prestige would not have been much worse.
In fact, as early as the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, that is, in 737 AD, Tang Xuanzong had already begun to become deaf.
The dismissal of Zhang Jiuling, the appointment of Li Linfu, and the killing of three sons in one day all mean that his governing style has begun to change.
And this has been going on for almost twenty years.
It was not until 755 A.D. that the Anshi Rebellion broke out.
Therefore, with Li Longji's ability and prestige, even if he is slacking off the government, appointing villains, sitting back and watching local festivals make them bigger, and waiting for a series of stupid things such as poverty and luxury, he can still maintain a prosperous era for nearly 20 years.
And now, Yingchen's prestige, ability and merit in the hearts of the people of Daqin far surpass that of Tang Xuanzong.
Even if Yingchen dies like Tang Xuanzong, is it difficult to maintain a prosperous era for thirty years?
But this kind of thing, Yingchen will not do.
No, after solving the problem of eating for the people of Daqin, Yingchen's eyes focused on the problem of clothing for the people of Daqin.
The previous honeycomb coal, and now the cotton, are all implemented according to this idea.
Of course, together with food and clothing, it also makes it more convenient for the people of Daqin to travel, and the people's wisdom is more open and no longer ignorant.
All of this is Yingchen's goal all along.
I hope that the people of Daqin, the descendants of Yan and Huang, everyone will be like a dragon!.
