Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

After Su Yu finished talking about the five benefits of opening a bank, Li Shimin and the others were taken aback.

Wonderful!

The strategy of opening a bank is simply wonderful.

"Young master Su, you are truly a god-man."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were amazed.

Empress Changsun had managed the treasury and harem money for so long, but she never thought of such a way.

This matter is very simple.

But if I don't tell you, I don't even know if I want to break my head.

"Master Su, I admire you."

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands in worship.

"That's right, if we open a head office in Chang'an City and open branches in Luoyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Xuzhou, then the money of the people in the world will definitely be handed over to Li Er, and the money of Datang will be alive. Moreover, we Doing business is much more convenient. For example, when I go to Yangzhou to harvest rice, I don’t have to take so much gold and silver with me, so I don’t have to worry about thieves from the river. When I go to Youzhou to sell horses, I don’t have to worry about horse thieves.”

Li Shimin had an epiphany.

"The most important thing is that all the money in the world belongs to Li Er, and the imperial court has strong financial resources, so it is easy to do anything."

said the Queen.

Xiao Changle giggled and said, "Aniang, why don't you talk about Li Er."

Li Shimin was taken aback, Guanyin's servant girl had been taught badly.

Fearing that Chang Le would leak his words, he hurriedly picked up little Chang Le and sent him to the Queen's arms.

The queen scratched Xiao Changle's nose.

"Brother, what about the second one? How to solve the battle suit?"

Li Shimin asked.

Three problems, one solved.

There are two more.

Su Yu smiled slightly: "Old Chen, bring the cotton coat from our village."

Old Chen was outside, and upon hearing Su Yu's order, he hurried in with some cotton padded clothes and distributed them to several people.

"This is a padded coat invented and made by my son, try it."

The queen knows this battle suit best, and she even sewed a battle suit for Li Shimin herself.

After picking up Su Yu's cotton coat, it was soft to the touch, not as slippery as silk, nor as rough as linen.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui fiddled with each other for a long time.

"Master Su, isn't this something made by Liu Xu?"

Du Ruhui said.

He is in charge of the Ministry of War and has a lot of research on soldiers' clothes.

Su Yu smiled and said, "No, this is a cotton coat, and the inside is made of cotton."

"cotton?"

Du Ruhui was dumbfounded again.

Never heard of cotton.

"Master Su, what is cotton?"

the queen asked with concern.

She put on the cotton padded jacket and tried it on. Although it was late spring and the weather was already hot, she was immediately shocked by the warming effect of the cotton padded jacket.

In winter, it is definitely the best to keep out the cold.

If this thing is popularized, not only will the soldiers no longer have to suffer from the bitter cold in the north, but the common people will also be able to dress warmly.

"Old Chen, bring a ball of cotton here."

Su Yu ordered.

Lao Chen went to the storeroom to bring a ball of cotton, the queen quickly picked it up, rubbed it, it looked similar to catkins, but it was completely different when she got it.

Li Shimin put on the cotton-padded jacket, feeling very warm, and soon began to sweat on his forehead.

"Brother, how many good things are there in your village?"

Li Shimin was shocked.

It is said that the emperor is the richest person in the world. Compared with Su Yu, Li Shimin feels that he is Grandma Liu and Su Yu is the old lady.

"There are many. You will find out later."

Su Yu looked at Li Shimin meaningfully.

"Master Su, how is this padded coat made? Where does the cotton come from? Is it made from silkworms? Or is it made of hemp?"

the queen asked.

Cotton is not owned by China, but came from the Western Regions, and large-scale planting will come later.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were only two main materials for making clothes, silk and hemp.

Rich people have brocade embroidery, all made of silk.

And ordinary people just use Mado.

Of course, there are other ingredients.

But these things have a common problem: they don't keep warm.

That's why people in ancient times liked mink fur so much, and used animal fur to keep warm.

"This one is grown. With cottonseed."

Su Yu beckoned, and Lao Chen brought out a jar of cotton seeds.

"Well, as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I intend to share the worries for Li Er. Old Li, you take this pot of cotton to sow seeds. I have written the instruction manual on how to plant it. You can follow it. Then there is the production method, It's also in the instructions. For this, I only produce seeds, and you make cotton clothes and sell them to Li Er. As for the share of the money?"

Su Yu deliberately dragged his tone for a long time.

Li Shimin's face was dark: You just said that you are tall, and you want to share my worries, but in the end you still sold it to me
Knowing the benefits of this cotton, the queen quickly said: "They are all my brothers. What about the share, the last money belongs to my virtuous brother."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm even embarrassed to say that. They are indeed my brothers, so I won't share with you."

Xue Ji finally understood, it turned out that the whole thing was foreshadowing, and that was the point.

Routine.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui felt that Li Shimin and the queen had been calculated.

Work hard to sow seeds for Su Yu, make cotton clothes, and then the money goes to Su Yu.

In the end, he only produced a jar of seeds.

The queen didn't settle accounts like that.

She is a virtuous empress, and she is worried about the military and the world. If the cotton seeds can really be planted, the people of Tang Dynasty will not suffer from the cold in the future, and the soldiers at the border will also have cold clothes.

Su Yu really helped the court a lot.

"Brother, then I have the money and clothes. What about the food?"

Li Shimin asked.

Two of the three problems are solved, and one remains.

Army rations are a big problem. Marching and fighting is a desperate effort. You must eat well, otherwise you will not have the strength to fight.

Although the water conservancy was built this year according to Su Yu's plan, it is estimated that the people's rations are short, and there is no food for the military.

"Food, let's talk about it next time. Hurry up and tell Li Er about opening the bank and planting cotton. It's late spring, and it won't work any later. Remember, don't let Li Er know about me, I don't want to do it Officer, everything is your old Li's idea and has nothing to do with me."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin is helpless: I call you brother and brother, but you still say don't let me know.

"Definitely, definitely. Absolutely guarantee that Li Er doesn't know the existence of this worldly expert, Xiandi."

The queen laughed.

Holding the padded coat, the queen couldn't put it down.

"Okay, let's stop here today. Oh, I'm sorry for this, I asked you to contribute. Lao Chen, give Lao Li and the others some beef bones to take back."

Su Yu laughed.

It's okay not to say this, but when he mentioned the beef bone, Li Shimin remembered the matter of Ah Huang asking him to eat the bone.

The queen turned around and sneered.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knew that Li Er was losing face, but they hadn't eaten beef bones for a long time.

"Thank you Su Gongzi."

"Can I give you two more?"

Li Shimin was so angry that his ministers in the court were so hopeless.

"Brother, get me two more."

Li Shimin said.

Su Yu smiled and said: "No problem, I kill a cow here every now and then, enough for you to eat."

Li Shimin:? ? ?
