Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the topic of rubber trees, but instead mentioned other things.
Although Li Daozong didn't know the people around him, he knew after the introduction that these people were the governors of various states in Lingnan Road. In other words, these people were most likely from aristocratic families who originally belonged to Lingnan Road.
Considering some things in Qinghai Road, Li Daozong knew what His Highness was going to do.
"Speaking of which, Your Highness, the cotton you asked us to grow is good stuff." Li Daozong said.
"Has it been tested?" Li Ke said.
"After testing, all aspects of warmth retention are far better than silk cotton, and the texture is softer and more comfortable. It is estimated that new cotton will appear in Datang."
"This is true. With the large-scale planting of cotton, the linen cloth used in the past may gradually be eliminated." Li Ke nodded.
The people around him listened silently, and they heard something new from His Highness's ears.
"But in terms of cotton cultivation, I heard from people in Gaochang that many of these people don't want to plant this thing in the short term. The people who are currently responsible for managing these places are very helpless, mainly because the local population is really small." Li Daozong said.
When Li Daozong said this, Li Ke understood instantly. You see, isn't this how some news is revealed?
"When the time comes, let people come over to plant. There will always be people who like to plant. When the time comes, we will be allowed to establish the collective cooperative form I just mentioned for planting." Li Ke said.
The profit of cotton is no lower than that of rubber. Of course, it is impossible to make a lot of money in this kind of business, but the advantage is stability and long-term stability. Unless there is a natural disaster, it will not lose money.
In fact, even if it is a natural disaster, the losses will be extremely limited.
"Your Highness." As he spoke, Li Shiji also came over and saluted Li Ke.
"How is it? Did Youzhou prepare it?" Li Ke smiled.
"It's not a big problem. The grains transported back from Zhenwa and other places are being stored continuously, and many granaries have been built." Li Shiji nodded and said, "Goguryeo has been relatively quiet these days."
There were some things that Li Shiji didn't say. For example, Li Ke told him that some of the food and other things secretly sent to Goguryeo had been sent there, and there was no problem.
Over the course of a morning, Li Keguang was here drinking tea and bragging, and the people around him changed several times. Anyway, Li Ke could chat with everyone, but most of the people came here for some testing.
Li Ke did not hide anything from these people. He told them the news directly. For example, in the new year, Datang will invest a lot of money to start investment and construction.
The motherland of later generations has given a perfect answer. When you don’t know what to do, and when you have a lot of money and don’t know what to do, it is right to engage in infrastructure construction.
As long as the quality can be guaranteed, infrastructure construction may make a slow return, but it will be too late to build it when you need it.
What's more, building ordinary roads is actually not very difficult. It just requires personnel, and the requirements for personnel are not high. It's just that the quality of cement and concrete must gradually keep up.
Nowadays, with the advent of clocks and steam engines, the quality of cement can gradually be controlled.
With the experience of building large blast furnaces, more advanced equipment can gradually be used for the subsequent cement.
Concrete roads can also be gradually extended, especially some important and prosperous roads need to be built, such as from Chang'an to Luoyang.
Or the main official roads between some border cities and some inland cities should be connected with concrete roads. In this case, even if it rains, it will not affect the flow of goods.
This will play a great role in the flow of materials and commodity transportation.
For example, places such as Yunnan and Guizhou in later generations cannot do it for the time being, but it can be done in vast plain areas.
But what Li Ke didn't notice was that Chang Lin was watching all this silently in the corner. He saw that almost all the important ministers in the court wanted to say hello to His Highness the King of Qin, and even many people from aristocratic families came to greet His Highness the King of Qin. A greeting, every word is a temptation.
To be honest, after seeing this scene, Chang Lin suddenly said a sentence: If you don't see yourself, you will understand; if you don't know yourself, you will be enlightened; if you don't cut yourself off, you will be successful; if you are not proud of yourself, you will grow. My husband does not fight, so no one in the world can fight with him.
This sentence is simply a perfect portrayal of His Highness King Qin. His Highness King Qin never said he wanted this throne, but in the end, ninety-nine percent of the time, this throne was going to fall to him, but he didn't know it.
Sometimes Chang Lin wonders, could this be where His Highness King Qin has a long-term vision, to fight for the throne in this way? After thinking about it carefully, Chang Lin put this idea behind him.
Because the current King of Qin, strictly speaking, what is the difference between him and the emperor? The rights of His Highness the King of Qin are no different from those of His Majesty, because His Majesty has never taken back the military power of the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an.
It is still being held in the hand of His Highness the King of Qin, and His Highness the King of Qin seems to have completely forgotten about this matter. Anyway, the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an are constantly reforming according to the current operation method.
No one disturbed them. I heard that the soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards were training in full swing, and their energy and energy were different every day! Only by going out can people know what it means to be a tiger and wolf teacher.
Therefore, the current King of Qin actually has the rights of His Majesty at any time, but he has never thought about it that way. Besides, His Highness the King of Qin is much more chic than His Majesty.
When His Majesty wants to leave the palace, whether it is a private visit or a large-scale trip, it will require the use of a large number of manpower, which is very troublesome.
But His Highness the King of Qin just rode away casually. Although there were many guards following His Highness the King of Qin, he was still much more chic than His Majesty.
Chang Lin thought about it and realized that it was indeed like this. Even if it were him, he wouldn't bother to ask for the throne.
But, he, Chang Lin, is just a chamberlain. How can he know this? His Majesty says whatever he says. Who knows what His Majesty wants to do.
When the time reached before noon, Chang Lin turned around and left here. He wanted to go back and report to His Majesty.
At this time, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette naturally took everyone to their seats in order.
Everyone was stunned until Li Shimin came out from behind with Queen Changsun and others.
Almost everyone's attention was attracted by the many concubines and princesses such as Empress Changsun, not because of other reasons, but because of the clothes they were wearing.
So gorgeous, so gorgeous that when Li Shimin ascended the throne, Empress Changsun didn't even have such luxurious clothes! This dress almost instantly stole everyone’s attention!
