Yuechan nodded and said:
"Yes, not only that, today the Qin Mansion has dozens of large trucks carrying vegetables full of vegetables to Chang'an East City."
"What Qin Ming means is that they plan to sell vegetables in Chang'an City starting tomorrow."
Then he took it out, Qin Ming wrote a letter to the Queen and Your Majesty, handed it over and said:
"Your Majesty, this is the letter Mr. Qin sent you. Maybe you will understand after reading it."
Empress Changsun quickly took the letter, opened it, browsed it quickly, and then murmured in a low voice:
"How did he do it? No, I have to tell His Majesty about this immediately."
"Yuechan, follow me and go to Ganlu Hall first."
With that said, he was about to pack his things and leave the Li Zheng Hall with Yue Chan.
At this moment, Princess Jinyang ran out of the back hall in a rage, and said to Empress Changsun as she ran:
"Mother, queen, look, these socks are so beautiful."
"Hurry up and put them on. Try these socks. They are so comfortable. Your whole body feels warmer."
As he spoke, he ran to his eldest grandson and pulled up his down jacket and pants.
Show the stockings on your legs to Queen Changsun.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun stared at the socks on her daughter's legs. Unexpectedly, the socks looked strange in her hands.
Now that I'm wearing it on my daughter, I feel it's very suitable.
At this time, Princess Changle, Princess Yuzhang and Princess Chengyang also walked out of the hall.
They also put on long cotton stockings.
Seeing Princess Jinyang lifting up her long down jacket in front of the queen, the three of them looked at each other helplessly.
Walking in front of Jinyang, Princess Changle put down Princess Jinyang's down jacket for her.
Then he held two socks in his hand, handed them to Queen Changsun and said:
"Mother, these socks are indeed warmer and more comfortable than the ones I wore before."
"You should change into them quickly. I just took a look and there is a pair embroidered with carp that is very suitable for my father."
"The other pair embroidered with plum blossoms is more suitable for you."
After hearing this, Empress Changsun smiled and touched the heads of her daughters one by one and said:
"Okay, mother, let's try it on too."
After saying that, she took the socks from Princess Changle's hand and Queen Changsun went to the back hall.
.....
At the beginning of noon, Tai Chi Palace and Ganlu Palace.
Li Shimin has been in a good mood these days, although refugees have begun to arrive near Chang'an one after another.
However, the work-for-relief program implemented by the imperial court at this time was progressing smoothly.
The refugees also showed great cooperation with the imperial court's resettlement.
Now some refugees have begun to make various weapons, arrows and other items in the Ministry of Industry.
There will be a large number of refugees arriving in Chang'an in the next few days, but these are no longer a big deal for Li Shimin, who has raised enough money and has the strategy to suppress food prices given by Qin Ming. question.
Just follow the plan step by step and it will be fine.
In addition, what made Li Shimin feel most comfortable these days were the several noble concubines in the harem.
In the past few days, whether it is Concubine Wei who was the most arrogant in the past,
Concubine Yan De, who has a somewhat cold personality,
Or maybe Concubine Yang Shu, who always considers herself to be of noble status,
They are extremely gentle and obedient to Li Shimin.
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was happy to see the enthusiastic performance of the concubines in the harem these days.
I wish the concubines in the harem could always be like this.
But while he was happy to see it, such a harem also made Li Shimin feel that he had been a little overworked in the past few days.
You are not allowed to secretly summon the imperial doctor and ask the imperial doctor to prepare some decoction for you to cultivate Benguyuan every day.
Based on the above circumstances, the heroic and wise Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Shimin, decided to let her go tonight. Several noble concubines in the harem secretly thought that they had not seen Concubine Yin for a long time and would go to her place to see her tonight.
While Li Shimin was planning where to go at night, he remembered the eunuch's voice outside the hall.
"The Queen has arrived."
Li Shimin looked up and saw Queen Changsun walking into the palace door with Yuechan.
So he stood up, walked to the eldest grandson in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and said:
"Guanyin Maid, why do you come to the Manna Hall to see me in such a cold weather? You should rest more in the palace."
"I originally planned to go to the Li Zheng Palace to see you after finishing the government affairs."
Empress Changsun and Li Shimin have been married for many years, so how could she not know that Li Shimin was telling the truth.
So she rolled her eyes at him angrily.
"Concubine, please see your majesty. May your majesty be safe."
Li Shimin helped Empress Changsun up, raised her eyes and saw Yuechan following her, her eyes moved, and she asked:
"But my father's clothes are ready? Have they been sent over? Does your father like them?"
Li Shimin's feelings for his father were quite complicated. Ever since he launched the Xuanwu Sect Revolution, he thought it would take a lot of trouble to get his father to make him the prince.
But he never expected that he and a group of generals from Tiance Mansion would walk into the main hall.
His father just looked at him with a sad face, then offered to make him the crown prince, and soon announced his abdication.
But from that day on, his father never spoke to him again.
This has also become a worry for Li Shimin. After all, he was forced to do so during the Xuanwu Sect incident. He was really desperate, so he took this step.
In fact, he is diligent in government affairs every day because he wants to prove it to his father and the people of the world.
He, Li Shimin, is no worse than the wise kings of the past dynasties. He will do better than his elder brother and is more suitable to be the helmsman of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, I also hope that one day I will be recognized and forgiven by my father.
Queen Changsun looked at Li Shimin's expectant expression and said:
"The clothes are ready, but I haven't sent them over yet because I have something more important to report to His Majesty."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "What's the matter?"
Next, Queen Changsun told them that Qin Ming had grown vegetables in winter and was preparing to open a shop, and gave them 10% of the dry stock.
And Qin Ming’s socks made from cotton are indeed very warm.
This also proves that cotton, a crop, does have a very good thermal insulation effect.
Changsun told Li Shimin these things one by one.
During the process, Li Shimin's expression kept changing, including shock, joy, and expectation.
After a long time, Li Shimin whispered softly:
"Qin Ming is a very talented boy. Since he can grow vegetables in winter, it means he is very good at farming."
"Then he planted wheat on Zhuangzi a while ago. It's 80% possible and it will mature in May next year."
"Then maybe this can really be achieved, and we can harvest two crops of food a year."
The eldest grandson also echoed: "Well, it's very possible that your Majesty, when you have time, can go to Qinjiazhuang to see how they grow vegetables in winter."
"If it can be promoted in the Tang Dynasty, it will be a good thing for the people." Li Shimin said:
"What Guanyin said makes sense. Just wait for a while. There are too many refugees now, and the recent food prices in Chang'an City have begun to rise. I have to keep an eye on the matter of suppressing food prices."
"When food prices stabilize, we can find time to go over and have a look."
