My harem can't be this messy

"Should they go to Xingyang to make clothes?"

"My sister is so smart, I guessed it before I said it."

"There's no need to guess."

"By the way, Sister Cui Yan, let them go to Luoyang Palace when they pass by Luoyang, and tell Yue'e to come to Chang'an."

"Oh, I've made a note of it. I will handle these two matters for Your Highness today."

After leaving Cui Yan's place, Li Zhi went to Rou'er's place. This girl has almost recovered in the past few days. At this time, Miss Zheng Shuang was in her room, talking with her. Seeing King Jin coming in, Zheng Shuang hurriedly He got up and pulled Li Zhi to sit on the edge of Rou'er's bed.

"Rou'er, how is your body?"

"Thanks to His Highness, it's already much better. Today, a Miss Lin went to the mansion to check Miss Xia He's health. After the check, she went to Rou'er to have a look. She also said that Rou'er is recovering well."

"Well, get well soon, and when it snows, I will take you and Shuang'er to appreciate the falling snow in Chang'an. You have never been to Chang'an, so take a good look at the state of Luoxue in the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty."

"Okay! Rou'er is looking forward to it too!"

"You girl, you really make me feel bad."

Li Zhi rubbed Rou'er's hair, got up, bid farewell to the two, and left the yard.

At this time, walking in the corridor of the courtyard of King Jin's Mansion, King Jin was still thinking about what his mother said to him, and he wanted to find a way to let his father pass on the throne to him.

If the throne was still a multiple-choice question for Li Zhi in the past, he would try his best to fight for it and obtain it.

At this time, the throne is already something that Li Zhi must obtain, and he and his mother are too special. If he does not hold the absolute power of this era in his hands, I am afraid that life will be very difficult for him and his mother in the future.

The throne is the pinnacle of power in this era. Only by becoming an emperor can one protect himself and his mother, or Aunt Lin.

But how can I please my father at this time?

Li Zhi walked along the corridor for a long time, even reached the end of a corridor, turned back and walked again.

"To please my father, I have to do it in three ways. The first is the relationship between brothers. This is the most important thing. My father cares most about how his many sons get along with each other."

"It seems that I still need to get closer to the brothers, especially the three of them, King Ji, King Fu and King Cao."

Why the three of them, in fact, they are the only ones living in the palace now, and being close to the three of them is the easiest for Li Shimin to see, hear, and feel.

The other princes are all living outside the palace, no matter how hard they run, the emperor can't see him!

And to be close to the three of them is actually to be close to Concubine Wei, Concubine Chao and Concubine Xiao Yang, which is also very important.

Chapter 445 Cotton

In addition to the brotherhood, the second is naturally the five surnames and Qiwang, and the Guanlong Hao family is here.During my trip to Xingyang this time, because I did some things in the Zheng family, I won a lot of praise from my father.

To make Father and Emperor pay more attention to himself, it is definitely a good choice for the aristocrats to come here.At this time, the powerful nobles have long been the thorn in the eyes of the royal family, and the thorn in their flesh.

The Sui Dynasty is an example. Why Emperor Sui Yang died, why Emperor Sui Yang moved his capital to Luoyang, and why he built the Grand Canal connecting the north and the south are inseparable from the aristocrats.

It's a pity that although the emperor has great ambitions in his heart, the power of the clan is too strong.So much so that it can influence the imperial power and determine the fate of the dynasty.

At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, the power of the clan was still stubborn and powerful.

For Li Zhi, if he can really rectify the power of the powerful, it is not only a bonus for his father's performance, but also for ascending to the throne by himself in the future, which will definitely be of great benefit.

What's more, in these aristocratic families, the sisters and aunts are prettier than the other. Look at the women around me, who are the best in appearance and figure, which one is not from the aristocratic family.

Apart from these two, that is filial piety, which is also extremely important, even more important than the previous two.

However, it seems that it is not easy to show the father and emperor to feel his sincerity.

On weekdays, I often go to see my father and accompany my father, which is probably all I can do.

The most important direction of expression is actually still in the first two things. The first thing is to reassure the father and prove that he will not engage in dramas such as brothers splitting and fighting.The second thing is actually to prove one's ability. After all, the powerful and aristocratic is the most difficult problem in Chutang at this time, and there is no one.

Li Zhi wanted to understand this, so he stopped in his tracks. Looking at the sun at this moment, it turned out that the sun was about to set.

This day really passed in a trance, and time slipped away before I knew it.

Standing there, Li Zhi saw that the maids of Prince Jin's Mansion were already lighting up the palace lanterns, and Li Zhi walked towards the courtyard where he and Wang Yan got married.

After walking a few steps, a courtyard guard ran in from outside.This is the mansion soldiers of Prince Jin's mansion, every mansion has them, and this is the only armed force that Li Zhi can absolutely control at this time.

"what's the matter?"

"Return to Your Highness, it is the people from Honglu Temple who are looking for Your Highness!"

Hearing this name, Li Zhi already thought of what it was. He had been to Honglu Temple before, and asked the people there to bring him cotton from the frontier. At this time, the people from Honglu Temple came to look for it, which should be the matter .

"Please come in!"

As Li Zhi said, he simply walked towards the gate with the mansion soldiers. At this time, three carriages were parked at the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion, and two Honglu Temple officials were waiting beside them.

Seeing King Jin, he naturally hurried forward to salute.

"Wai Li, did you bring back what the king asked for?"

"Your Highness, please take a look!"

The curtains of the two carriages behind were opened at this time, and both of them were full of cotton, and there was a large bag of cotton in the latter carriage.

The first-picked cotton, which contains cotton seeds, is actually processed cotton.

At this time Li Zhi looked at the cotton and a large bag of cotton seeds full of two carriages, and he was naturally very happy.

This thing is more important to Li Zhi than women's small clothes and cheongsam.

We must know that in the textile industry of later generations, the cotton textile industry occupies an absolute proportion and a dominant position.

Whether it is silk or hemp or the bamboo fiber chemical fiber that emerged later, it cannot shake the dominance of the cotton textile industry at all.

At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, cotton had not been effectively used at all, and small-scale planting was only available in the frontier.

Starting with cotton not only brought a brand-new thing like cotton textiles to the Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, there was no such thing before, and the royal family could achieve sufficient control over the cotton textile industry.

If you control the cotton and the production of cotton cloth, you will be able to meet the benefits in the future.

As long as the cotton is controlled in the hands of ordinary people, the royal family has enough right to speak.

Take a look at the wealthy families in Jiangnan, why they became so rich, and why Nanchen fell, all after the Sui Dynasty. The power of the Jiangnan clan is still so huge, and among the things they rely on, silk is also extremely important.

With cotton, the Tang textile industry based on silk and hemp, Li Zhi has enough crowbars to pry it upside down.

In the future, in terms of textiles, I will have the absolute right to speak.

Holding the cotton at this time, Li Zhi seemed to be holding the economic lifeline of Datang's textile industry.

At this time, the King of Jin ordered the cotton to be unloaded from the carriage, and he also ordered the two Honglu Temple officials to be rewarded heavily.

Ordinary people give officials silver and jewels, which is bribery, but only the royal family can reward them, and Li Zhi happens to be the direct prince.

After seeing off the two officials of Honglu Temple, Li Zhi grabbed a handful of cotton. There was so much cotton that the people in the bamboo garden just had to deal with it. They made two cotton-padded clothes for his father, queen and queen. The cotton-padded clothes were naturally made of silk. Filled with cotton, this is the most common form of winter clothing in later generations.

Just now I said that there is not much to do to show filial piety, but the two loads of cotton from Honglu Temple were timely enough.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi asked people to prepare a vehicle, and sent all the cotton to the bamboo garden.

Li Zhi was afraid that his own people would not be able to explain the use of cotton, so he simply followed.

When we arrived at Zhuyuan, it was naturally completely dark. Fortunately, the people in the garment workshop lived in Zhuyuan all the time. Li Zhi found the people in the garment workshop who were off work, and showed them the cotton, and then explained in detail How the cotton is used.

At this moment in the old building in Zhuyuan, the two Lin family teachers and sisters were just about to rest when they heard footsteps outside.

When the door was pushed open, Lin Ruyin put on a tiger face.

"Myolie, I was just about to go to bed when you disturbed Miss Ben's dream."

"That's right, Xing'er, it's really time for you to come."

"You two ladies, don't go to sleep. His Royal Highness King Jin is at the garment workshop. You go to sleep again. His Highness will come over later. He might not see you sleeping, so he left quietly."

"Ah! Your Highness has come to the bamboo garden!"

Lin Ruyin covered her lips, and immediately got out of the quilt, took the small clothes she usually wore, and put them on her body.

Lin Shixuan next to him was even faster, and had already put on the inner clothes.

"Miss, don't worry! Jin Wang still has some business in the garment workshop, and he won't leave for a while."

"Can you not be in a hurry? Jin Wang finally came, and I haven't served him for a long time."

"That's right, it's been a long time since I served Your Highness. In my dreams at night, it's all His Highness kissing me!"

"Hurry up, Shixuan!"

The two sisters of the Lin family have already dressed up at this time, the clothes are easy to wear, but the headgear is not easy to wear!

At this time, Lin Ruyin pulled the junior sister who was about to comb her hair and ran outside.

Chapter 446

"Don't worry about your hair. Whenever His Highness comes, don't you take off all the headgear for us first. He likes our hair hanging down, and we don't have any headgear."

"That's right! Myolie, don't hesitate to lead the way. Your Highness will leave in a while, so don't sleep tonight and kneel outside the room."

The three women ran to the garment workshop in a panic. Li Zhi was still sitting where the embroiderer was resting in the garment workshop on weekdays, with his arms around a young embroiderer, holding cotton in his hand and telling her that it was good .

The door was pushed open, Li Zhi took out one hand from the embroidered lady's arms, looked at the three women rushing in, Li Zhi smiled.

"Long time no see, you guys are in a panic, two sisters, why didn't you comb your hair today?"

"Your Highness, I just fell asleep, and when Xing'er said you were here, we ran over in a hurry."

At this time, the three of them were still breathing evenly, obviously running all the way in a hurry.

"Okay, how to make cotton-padded clothes and trousers, have you memorized them all?"

"Your Highness, I have written it all down, please rest assured Your Highness."

"Well, do it well!"

Li Zhi patted that ass, and the embroidered lady stood up. In fact, she was very unwilling to get up, and wanted His Highness to mess with her.

Li Zhi got up, and the Lin family's sisters and Xing'er naturally surrounded her. Li Zhi pulled Lin Ruyin's long hair, pulled it in front of him, and pinched her buttocks a few times.

"Your Highness, we will serve His Highness at night. Your Highness hasn't come for a long time, so I won't be going back tonight."

"Okay, the three of you serve this king tonight. If you don't serve me well, I won't let you off lightly."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will do whatever His Highness asks us to do."

"Don't vomit!"

"Don't spit, Your Highness, now Ruyin can swallow anything."

"Myolie, I want to play with your legs tonight."

"Myolie's legs belong to His Highness."

Li Zhi pulled Lin Shixuan by his side, and at this moment embraced the senior and sisters of the Lin family, and suddenly thought of his mother's real name, Lin Wanyue, which had the same surname as the pair of senior and sisters.

Lin Wanyue, seeing Wanyue for the first time, Li Zhi was thinking about his mother at this time, unconsciously, that face filled his mind, and he could never get rid of it.

Sister Lin, no, she should be called Aunt Lin, after all, she is 35 years old when she came to Datang, and she is only 15 years old, so she is 20 years younger, so she should be called Auntie anyway.

Aunt Lin was born so well!Hey, I was born exactly the same as King Jin, and Aunt Lin was born exactly the same as Empress Changsun. The Empress Changsun was also the beauty of the city and the country!

Li Zhi embraced the sisters of the Lin family, but at this moment he was thinking of another woman.

The throne, to get the throne quickly, become the emperor, this harem is his own.

Li Zhi's hands tightened on the buttocks of the two Lin family teachers and sisters unconsciously.

This hit hurt the two senior sisters, Lin Shixuan and Lin Ruyin gasped and looked at King Jin.

"Your Highness, it hurts so much."

"Oh, looking at your colors for a while, I was a little distracted, and I lost the importance of attacking."

Li Zhi carried the two of them into the room, picked one up in each hand, and threw them on the bed.

The bamboo garden in the early morning, because it is already October, looks much deserted. The cold wind in the early morning pours in through the cracks in the windows and doors, and you can already feel the severe cold of winter.

Datang's winter should be very cold!

Li Zhi stretched out his arm from the quilt and put it on the back of his head, feeling the coldness in the room.

Perhaps Lin Shixuan and Lin Ruyin also felt cold, hugged King Jin tightly, and buried their heads in King Jin's armpits.

Li Zhi patted the two on the back twice, and then rubbed their jade shoulders with his hands.
