"Your Majesty, just the cotton on this small hill alone can produce tens of thousands of cotton-padded clothes every day!”
Zhangsun Wuji said as his eyes were filled with admiration. It was really rare to see a plant with such abnormal growth ability. Not to mention, this cotton was extremely useful.
Li Shi Min nodded. This was clearly recorded on the piece of paper that Zhangsun Yu had written.
"Young Master! Too little! It was far from enough! I want to expand the scale by ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times! I want to spread the cotton clothes to all parts of the Great Tang before winter.”
Li Shiming excitedly said. Although the Great Tang was short of money, the pressure of such a large construction was too great. It would even make this winter very difficult for the Great Tang.
However, this was not a problem. As long as the people could survive the winter safely, it was worth it no matter how high the price was.
Even though Zhangsun Yu hated Li Shiming, he couldn't help but admire his boldness. As expected of Li Shimin, the founder of the Tang Empire's Zhenguan Era.
The Great Tang was an extremely important era in the history of China.
It was not worse than the Han Dynasty. The Great Han Dynasty made the Chinese become Han!
The Great Tang Dynasty spread the culture of China all over the world. In fact, many countries had been following the example of the Tang Empire, such as Japan.
The Heavenly Kingdom, the Heavenly Khan, these were the symbols of the Great Tang!
Being born in such a dynasty, even Zhangsun Yu, a descendant of Huaxia, felt extremely proud.
After browsing through Mt. Mian Hua, everyone returned to the workshop. Just now, no villagers were busy at Mt. Mian Hua because everyone had gone to the village for lunch.
However, when everyone arrived at the workshop, the workshop was already bustling with noise.
The people of Chen Family Village and the surrounding villages were busy producing cotton clothes.
Li Shiming's eyes were filled with yearning when he saw the bustling production scene. Wasn't this the Great Tang of his dreams?
If the people of the world could do this, how prosperous would the Great Tang be?
But it was a pity that the Great Tang did not even have the opportunity to give its citizens a job. The Great Tang was in chaos, and apart from the fact that there was no war, life was not much better than during wartime.
This was the hardship of the early days of the Great Tang.
"Brat, the people here seem to have a different spirit from the rest!”
Li Shi Min said to Zhangsun Yu.
Although Zhangsun Yu still looked indifferent, he still gave an answer. However, he did not even look at Li Shiming.
The workers didn't know Li Shiming's identity, so they weren't surprised. However, Zhangsun Wuji and the others knew that. They were all worried about Zhangsun Yu's death.
"The people of the Great Tang have always lived in chaos. Now that the Great Tang has finally unified the world, it has finally settled down.”
"Everyone doesn't want much in their hearts. At most, they just want to eat their fill and live a peaceful life.”
"And I gave them a generous salary and good treatment. Naturally, their mental outlook was different from others. This was the simple and honest people. If you treated them well, they would naturally repay you.”
As he spoke, Zhangsun Yu glanced at Li Shiming and said something that Wei Zheng often said to him.
"You need to know that the monarch is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
Zhangsun Jinshi and the others were shocked. Although Li Shimin was often lectured by Wei Zheng, he was Wei Zheng! Zhangsun Yu was just an ordinary mountain youth, yet he actually exercised his authority as a censor to educate the Emperor. Wasn't this courting death?
Fortunately, Li Shimin was not angry. In the past, when Wei Zheng taught him a lesson, he would still be unhappy. But today, he had personally seen the happy faces of the people here.
He began to be firm in his words. As long as you treat the people well, the people will indeed repay you!
Perhaps this was what a monarch should do? He had to use all his strength and all his heart to do what the people of the world wanted. Only in this way could he create a powerful empire!
"This kid has such insight at such a young age. He could even do it. It was really extraordinary! This is how a son should be born. Why isn't he my son? If Chengqian had half of what this kid had in the future, it would be a blessing for the Great Tang!”
Li Shi Min thought to himself.
"I know. I have been working in this direction. However, I have never had a way out. Now, your cotton-padded clothes have given me a way out, and also a way out for the people of the Great Tang.”
Li Shiming turned around and looked at Zhangsun Yu seriously.
"Zhen knows that you don't like power and don't wish to be involved in court disputes. However, for the sake of the people of the world, We still hope that you can contribute a sliver of strength to the Great Tang!”
"You're not doing this for anyone, not for me, but for the people of the world.”
After saying that, Li Shiming actually cupped his hands at Zhangsun Yu! His voice was not loud, so only a few people around him could hear him in the noisy workshop.
"Swoosh!"
Zhangsun Yu jumped away and did not accept Li Shiming's bow. Those great scholars and capable officials could accept Li Shiming's gifts and help him govern the Great Tang.
However, Zhangsun Yu was the only one who couldn't, because the person in front of him was his father! Although he didn't acknowledge it, he couldn't cut off the bloodline.
Zhangsun Yu had always followed his mother's teachings. He was benevolent, wise, courteous, trustworthy, loyal, filial, honest, shameless, and brave. Therefore, Zhangsun Yu would not do something so unfilial as to make his bloodline father bow.
Zhangsun Yu's expression changed. He was thin-skinned and couldn't put down his pride. In the end, he could only turn his head and mutter.
I'll agree to go to Chang 'an."
This tsundere look stunned everyone. In the end, it was Gao Ling 'er and Zhangsun Chong who couldn't hold back.
"Hahaha!"
The two of them laughed out loud. Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian both held back their laughter, giving Zhangsun Yu the last bit of face. Li Shi Min looked at the proud young man in front of him with a gentle smile.
But in an instant, his expression stiffened. Because when he looked at the side of the young man's face, he actually saw his own posture when he was young.
"Maybe it's an illusion."
Li Shi Min whispered to himself.
