Chapter 344 Want to cheat me, how can it be so easy
"Ordinary people get married, and the man has to give some dowry. You marry my most beloved daughter, shouldn't you show it?" Li Shimin said.
Lin Xuan stared at the boss. He had been thinking about what Li Shimin wanted to say to him along the way, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to say this to him.
Lin Xuan had an urge to curse.
We all know that Princess Shang is similar to the door-to-door, so why do people like Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling let their son Princess Shang?
To put it bluntly, Princess Shang is good.
Princess Shang doesn't need a betrothal gift, not to mention, once the princess is Shang, she will be knighted after marriage.
It means that you don't have to do anything, and you have earned a title.
As the saying goes, it is for this reason that the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying.
Otherwise, with Cheng Yaojin's status, they really wouldn't let their son, Princess Shang.
After all, once you become a princess, it means you are cut off from your official career.
How come I'm here, and I'm about to give a betrothal gift?
"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, Princess Shang doesn't seem to want a betrothal gift." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin nodded, and said: "No, but they are all ordinary princesses, but Lizhi is my favorite princess, so it is naturally different."
Lin Xuan was a little speechless, isn't this nonsense?
If you want to kill him, just say so.
"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and you don't care for ordinary things. Your Majesty also knows the background of the minister's family, and there is nothing good except money. Why don't you send a hundred thousand coins as a dowry?" Lin Xuan said.
The benefits of marrying a princess are not worth a hundred thousand crowns.
Logically speaking, Lin Xuan's dowry was full of sincerity.
But can Li Shimin ask for this money?
If he took the money, what would the civil and military officials think of him?
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I'm not short of money. If you have a method that is beneficial to the country like making salt, just give me some."
Not short of money?
Such a powerful statement.
If it weren't for me, would you have the confidence to say this?
I don't know who it was, but I was so poor that I was thinking about the hundreds of thousands of coins he won from a bet with the aristocratic family.
Now there is no shortage of money.
Lin Xuan said: "Your Majesty, I have recently developed a loom. If Your Majesty wants it, you can dedicate it to Your Majesty."
It's not that easy to cheat me.
Anyway, he planned to popularize the loom, so it's not bad to use it to deal with Li Shimin now.
Li Shimin originally just wanted to test Lin Xuan, but he didn't expect it to happen.
"Loom? How much faster than the current loom?" Li Shimin asked.
Cloth can be used as currency in ancient times, and the imperial court's salary is a combination of money and grain plus some cloth.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "The loom I mentioned is not an ordinary loom. It uses white folds to weave."
"Baidiezi can also weave cloth?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
Before Lin Xuan told him that Baidizi could be stuffed into clothes to keep warm, which already made him very happy.
Now Lin Xuan actually told him that Baidizi can also be used for weaving.
There are still many people in Datang who only have one pair of trousers at home. Poverty is one aspect, and another aspect is that cloth is not cheap.
If Bai Diezi could weave cloth, the price of cloth would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
"I remember that Baidiezi seems to be planted, right? Who would be willing to plant this thing?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan said: "Baidiezi doesn't need fertile land, but some wasteland can be planted. With Baidiezi, people don't need to rely on fire to keep warm in winter. I believe the people will be willing to plant some."
Li Shimin nodded, not choosing land, the people would naturally be willing to plant it.
Li Shimin's expression changed, and he asked, "How is the effect of Baidizi to keep warm in an extremely cold place?"
Lin Xuan said: "In extremely cold places, it also has a good effect, just make it thicker."
Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "Do you know why the former Sui's conquest of Goguryeo led to the former Sui's destruction of the country?"
Lin Xuan didn't know why Li Shimin brought up this issue again, and said, "I have heard about it. It seems that because the battle line was too long, a large number of people were used to transport supplies, which led to the people's livelihood and finally destroyed the country."
Li Shimin nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Yes, it's not true. It is indeed related to the fact that the battle line is too long and a large number of people need to be used to transport food and grass. But the most important thing is that Liaodong is too cold. Nearly a year Half of them are in the severe cold period, and it won’t last long, because the weather is severe, so it needs to be corrected, and when the weather gets warmer, Goguryeo has almost recovered.”
"And the soldiers and horses of the former Sui Dynasty were stationed there, and the people ate the horses and chewed them, and they all needed to be transported by the people. It can be said that the former Sui Dynasty had a big reason to be dragged down."
"Goguryeo's strength is indeed good, but at that time the former Sui Dynasty was very rich under the accumulation of Yang Jian. If it weren't for the weather, even if Yang Guang was a waste, there were still many famous generals in the army. It is not that difficult to destroy Goguryeo. "
"If Bai Diezi really has a good heat preservation effect, he can continue to mobilize troops in the severe cold, and the success rate of destroying Goguryeo will be greatly increased. With your mysterious weapon, I am very confident that Goguryeo will be wiped out in one battle." .”
Lin Xuan was speechless, Li Shimin was stunned.
Think about using troops against Goguryeo.
However, with gunpowder and cotton, it is really not particularly difficult to destroy Goguryeo.
"When can we plant white berries?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Because of the weather in the north, it may take March and April next year. The south is warmer, and seedlings can be raised in mid-February."
Li Shimin nodded and asked, "You brought back more than 1 catties of seeds. If you plant them for two years, how many people can you equip?"
About four catties of seeds are needed for one mu of land, which is two and a half catties when converted to the weight of Datang.
The seeds he brought back can be planted on more than 4000 mu, and one mu of land can produce about [-] catties.
The ancient planting technology was backward, and one mu of land would definitely not be able to produce that much, but three hundred catties should be no problem.
According to this calculation, there will be almost 300 million catties in two years.
Including wearing and covering, it is enough for 10,000+ people.
And after harvesting in the first year, there will be more seeds. In this way, it is no problem to equip 20 people.
"Your Majesty, in two years, it will be no problem to equip 10,000+ people." Lin Xuan said.
For the sake of caution, he deliberately said less.
Li Shimin nodded, and said, "Very well, how many people did you bring back who know how to grow Baidiezi?"
"More than 100 people."
"Give all the people to me, and I will send them to the south. Now I will teach the people, and every spring, I will start planting white dippers." Li Shimin said decisively.
"Your Majesty, most of the land in the south is fertile land. Can the common people plant Baidizi for a reason? Why don't we plant it in the north?" Lin Xuan said.
He didn't want Li Shimin to cause complaints from the southern people because he was thinking about fighting Goguryeo.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, it's placed in the south. Because of the Zhenguan rice in the south, it is planted in the south. The court will compensate, and the people will not complain. On the contrary, Zhenguan rice cannot be planted in the north, and the people plant it. There is already a lot of land, if they are allowed to plant, it will increase their burden."
After all, I still lack the overall view, and I don't see the problem as thoroughly as Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty is right, I will arrange for those civilian husbands to send them over as soon as I get back," Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Send it directly to the household department. I will send someone to notify me later, so someone will accept it."
"Yes! If Your Majesty is fine, I will take my leave first." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin waved his hand, Lin Xuan saluted and retreated.
