The war horse ran all the way to the gate of Taiji Palace. Li Zhi got off the horse and took the Lord of Guide County off the horse.
"Cousin, wait for me here. I'll be back in a minute. Don't run around."
Li Zhi warned her and saw her cousin nod her head, then she said yes before riding her horse again and ran into the palace.
I should still have some of my belongings at Wanchun Hall, and I can still find a few pieces of clothing. It is impossible to wear this princely attire through Chang'an Street, but some casual clothes will do.
When Li Zhi passed through the Changle Gate, the Hongwen Hall of the History Museum, and entered the Wanchun Hall, the maids serving here looked at King Jin curiously. Why did King Jin who just left come back?
"Do you still have my clothes?"
Li Zhi asked, and the maid hurriedly replied "Yes," and then went to help Li Zhi bring the clothes.
Li Zhi found a piece of clothing that seemed to be the most ordinary, but it was also made of the finest silk in Suzhou and Hangzhou. His own clothes, no matter how ordinary they looked, were actually the top luxury goods of this era. There was nothing I could do about it, Prince!
This was probably low-key luxury. Li Zhi changed his clothes and threw them to the maid who had just come over with the clothes.
"Send this body to Prince Jin's Mansion."
"Yes, Your Highness, I obey."
Although I have many clothes, the prince only wears a few pieces of clothing that represent his status. If he no longer lives in Wanchun Palace, he will not stay here.
Li Zhi got on his horse again and looked at the pear tree in the yard. He waited until August to come back and pick the pears from this tree.
Li Zhi watched this pear tree blossom and wither and bear fruit, and the fruit grew day by day.
Passing by the pear tree, Li Zhi was able to reach a few pears on the tree because he was riding a horse. Li Zhi touched it and felt that the tree was close to him.
"You guys, keep an eye on this pear tree and don't let anyone steal the pears."
"Yes, Your Highness, we must be optimistic about His Highness."
Li Zhi raised his whip and left, and the horses had already left the Wanchun Hall.
Li Zhi suddenly looked in the direction of the Shangyi Bureau and looked at the clothes he was wearing.
During the Tang Dynasty, a small amount of cotton was planted in some frontier areas, but it was far from the scale of widespread cultivation in later generations.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the border, and then ask the queen mother to agree to plant a large amount of cotton in the Anxi Protectorate.
The geographical location of the Anxi Protectorate is perfect for growing cotton. In later generations, the best cotton-producing area in the world will be within the Anxi Protectorate.
If this thing can be done, it will be a big deal.
At this time, in the early Tang Dynasty, the textiles generally used in society were mainly silk and linen. The rich used silk and the ordinary people used linen.
However, both silk and linen materials naturally have some shortcomings, such as not being able to keep out the cold well. The most commonly used cold-proof clothing materials in later generations are mostly cotton products, and the fillings are also various cotton fillings, as well as duck down and goose down.
¡°As long as the Anxi Protectorate can plant cotton in a large area, not only will the clothing materials of the northern people be abundant in the future, but winter will no longer be so difficult.
Of course, Li Zhi¡¯s small treasury will expand crazily, and so will his mother¡¯s.
Li Zhi was riding a horse, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this could be done.
This is actually a daily and economic gain.
There is another one, that is, by planting cotton on a large scale in the Anxi Protectorate, Li Zhi can trick his father into sending more troops to the Anxi Protectorate.
The Anxi Protectorate covers millions of square kilometers of land. From now on, the northwest of China will be completely covered by the Anxi Protectorate, even far beyond the national boundaries of later generations.
At this time, the Anxi Protectorate ruled over hundreds of countries in the Western Region, large and small. Since Hou Jun gathered his troops to destroy Gaochang and built the Anxi Protectorate, which shocked the countries in the Western Regions, the Silk Road has become more and more prosperous, and the status of the Anxi Protectorate has naturally become more and more important.
But generally speaking, the number of troops stationed in the Anxi Protectorate has always been small. In history, there were 20,000 Parthian troops who shocked hundreds of countries in the Western Regions. This is very exciting to hear, but on the other hand, it can also be seen that the Tang Dynasty The military here is weak.
Li Zhi is determined to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty after Taizong, so he must make careful arrangements at this time.
Strengthening the military strength of the Anxi Protectorate is a very important matter for Li Zhi.
Whether it is to increase the deterrence of the countries in the Western Region, or to prepare for the attack and destruction of the Western Turks in the future. Even being able to drink from the Rhine River and march to the Mediterranean Sea one day would be an unparalleled achievement for Li Zhi.
As a time traveler, if your thoughts are still limited to this era, thenThe boundary is a bit small. After all, the world map is imprinted deep in Li Zhi's mind. Now that we are in this era, it would be inappropriate not to walk around.
With the national power of the Tang Dynasty at this time, the strength of the Mingguang Armor, the sharpness of the Mo Dao, and the sharpness of the Xuanjia Army, if he were the emperor, he would have to do some heroic things. Everywhere I set foot is my land of the Tang Dynasty.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ What does it mean to have the world in mind? This is exactly what it means.
Since God allowed me to come to the Tang Dynasty, some things must be changed. I am only fifteen years old at this time, and I can change many things.
Li Zhi was thinking wildly, and he had already arrived at the gate of Tai Chi Palace.
The Lord of Guide County had been waiting for her here. Li Zhi rode to her side, and she looked at Li Zhi.
"Cousin, did you change your clothes when you returned to the palace?"
¡°Don¡¯t alarm the people, don¡¯t disturb the people. Wearing the clothes of a prince and crossing Chang¡¯an Street is too sensational.¡±
Li Zhi stretched out his hand, and Lord Guide held it tightly. Li Zhi pulled her onto the horse.
When he arrived at Taiji Palace from Daming Palace just now, his cousin was sitting in front of him and opposite him, which made Li Zhi almost unable to bear it.
There, the Lord of Guide County had already hugged Li Zhi tightly, and Li Zhi was riding a horse, and the horses were running wildly in the imperial city.
Li Zhi passed through the imperial city and came to Honglu Temple. Honglu Temple was one of the nine temples in the Tang Dynasty and was mainly responsible for external exchanges.
This is also where the Tang Dynasty received foreign envoys. As soon as Li Zhi came here, he alerted Dahonglu and other officials. Dahonglu and several officials rushed over to pay homage to the King of Jin. Li Zhi did not dismount because his cousin He was still sitting behind him, making it difficult to dismount. Let Da Honglu and others not be too polite.
"I am here just to ask one thing. Do you know about cotton?"
Several Honglu Temple officials shook their heads. When Li Zhi saw it, he immediately realized that he might have asked the wrong person.
"Da Honglu, find a few officials who often travel outside, especially in the frontier." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
