Chapter 1134 Everyone deserves to die
Opening the book, the first article is about what cotton is.
The second article is about the advantages of clothes made of cotton, mainly comparing linen clothes and cotton clothes.
Obviously, clothing made from cotton is targeted at these two levels of clothing.
The third chapter is about suitable locations for cotton cultivation.
"Kanto?"
“It is Guandong, especially Henan, Yan, Yu, Qing, Xuzhou and the area along the river, which is most suitable.”
Wang Chen’s mouth twitched and he couldn’t help but look up at Guo Pei.
You might as well just say that it is the current core place of Wei State.
But what Wang Chen didn't know was that Feng Duhu really didn't lie about this matter.
The largest commercial cotton producing area in China in later generations was located in this area.
Guo Pei also didn’t know, so he probably felt a little embarrassed and coughed:
“Of course, the Liangzhou area is also suitable, but we can’t get involved there.”
The people who were already a little moved suddenly became uproar again:
“Since the suitable place for growing cotton is in the Central Plains, what does it have to do with our Bingzhou area?”
"This King Feng Gui, even if he is lying to others, he doesn't mean to lie. He still treats us as fools, right?"
Guo Pei chuckled again, bent down for the fourth time, took out a few more paper bills from the box at his feet, flicked them a few times, and made a clicking sound.
Wang Chen couldn't help but glance at the box, a little curious, how many things were in the box?
But seeing Guo Pei holding up the note, he said:
“This is a sample of the cotton field coupons that the Han Dynasty Joint Reserve Office is preparing to launch. From now on, as long as everyone buys this coupon, they can sign a red and white double contract with the imperial court.”
“In the future, when the Han Dynasty acquires the land of Guandong, they can use the money to exchange for land to grow cotton in Guandong.”
In the eyes of everyone, this is even more nonsense.
“Don’t say whether Jihan can finally take over the east side this time. Even if he does, does that mean the land is there? Do they really want to grab the land?”
Hearing this, Guo Pei sneered:
“The former Han Dynasty worked for more than a hundred years to move wealthy households to the place where they were actually the capital..."
As soon as these words came out, even Wang Chen, who was holding the notebook in his hand, trembled!
“The imperial court plans to reintroduce the mausoleum system?!”
The so-called mausoleum system refers to the mausoleum guarding system created by Emperor Gaozu:
Establish a mausoleum city near the imperial mausoleum in Guanzhong, and move wealthy households from Guandong to live here.
It has been implemented for more than a hundred years.
Channgling of Gaozu, Anling of Emperor Hui, Yangling of Emperor Jing, Maoling of Emperor Wu, and Pingling of Zhao were all established as cities and counties, hence the name "Wuling Yi".
The so-called Wuling young people refer to the children of rich and powerful people in Kyoto.
The mausoleum system can not only weaken the powerful people in Guandong, but also play the role of "strengthening the foundation and weak branches".
At the same time, it can also replenish Guanzhong and defend against the barbarians in the north.
It plays a huge role in politics and military affairs.
This influence will last until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The people in the room certainly had no idea that the impact would last so long.
But as long as they think about the similarities between the current Ji Han and the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, they will feel frightened.
So from their point of view, it would not be unimaginable if Ji Han really wanted to re-implement the mausoleum system.
Behind fear is anger:
“Is the imperial court really going to do this?”
“How poisonous King Feng Gui is!”
Unexpectedly, Guo Pei shook his head again:
“It was not Feng Duhu, but Pei Gong who planned to write a letter suggesting that the imperial court should restore the mausoleum system of the former Han Dynasty.”
Pei Qian?
What the hell?
The Pei family is also a wealthy family in Hedong. Is Pei Qian crazy?
If this news really gets out, no matter whether the negotiation is successful or not, there will probably be many people who want to stab Pei Qian, an old man, to death.
Guo Pei didn't care what everyone was thinking. He looked around and said solemnly:
“Everyone, we are not the only ones who know about the cotton clothes and cotton cloth. There is also news from Hedong!”
At this point, he emphasized his tone again:
“In the past two years, there was no land in Hedong, but in the past two years, why did the government have land to distribute to the people?”
There is civil unrest in Hedong, why can’t there be civil unrest in Guandong?
There is no need to say it too obviously, but it already made everyone look horrified.
Wang Chen is more concerned about Pei Qian’s thoughts:
“What is Pei Wenxing doing for this purpose?”
Pei Qian, as the head of the Pei family in Hedong, actually wanted to kill the Guandong family. How is this any different from a madman?
Either you think your life is too long?
Guo Pei smiled mysteriously and pointed at the notebook in his hand:
“The answer is at the end of this book.”
Chapter 4: Prospects for growing cotton.
Before Wang Chen could think about it carefully, his eyes widened just after seeing a few data.
At this time, he already understood why Pei Qian was like a mad dog and wanted to kill the great clan of Guandong.
At the same time, he looked at Guo Pei in disbelief and asked with a trembling voice:
“Is what is written above serious?”
Guo Pei seemed to have expected this question. He patted his cotton coat suggestively:
“The clothes have been made, is it possible that there are still some fake ones?”
As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd and continued: "Next year, thirty acres of cotton will be planted in Chang'an as a demonstration."
"Feng Duhu said that the cotton blossoms are as white as snow, which is extremely beautiful. Anyone who is interested can go and watch it."
The real thing is right in front of you, plus Feng Duhu’s invitation. In other words, this is most likely true?
Wang Chen looked at Mian Yi, breathing heavily.
If so, then Zhong Nan is right.
How is this a mulberry plant?
This is simply sowing money!
But Wang Chen stood up suddenly and said loudly:
"Reviving the Han Dynasty is our unshirkable responsibility. The aristocratic families in the Central Plains support the Wei thieves for their own selfish purposes. It is an unpardonable crime!"
Everyone was shocked!
Is this another one crazy?
This is said as if your Wang family has nothing to do with the Guandong family, but comes from the Yongliang wealthy family!
Besides, even if those guys from Yongliang were completely devoted to Ji Han, they were not so cruel to Guandong, right?
Wang Chen probably felt that his reaction was a little too extreme, so he coughed lightly and shook his notebook:
“Everyone, come and take a look.”
Needless to say, everyone has long wanted to know what heinous thing the Wang family saw in the book, which caused him to grit his teeth against the Guandong clan.
The quick one took the notebook from Wang Chen's hand, while the slow one had to lean over to read it.
After a while, someone could not help but scream: "One billion dollars!"
The people who were crowded together suddenly became commotion. I don’t know whether they accidentally bumped into the person holding the notebook, or whether the person holding the notebook was too excited.
“His!”
The most critical page was actually torn in half due to excessive force.
“Enter your mother!”
Some people were anxious on the spot: "What are you going to do? Tear it up after reading it? You don't want us to know, do you?"
"I don't!"
"show me!"
“Don’t crowd, don’t crowd!”
With this squeeze, half of the page was completely torn off.
The person who grabbed the notebook was immediately furious: "What are you doing!"
Just now he saw the number one billion, but now there is only ten left.
Cao!
One billion is gone!
There is still noisy here, but Guo Pei is even more anxious:
"Just look at it, why are you tearing up the book? This is a secret book. Feng Duhu gave two copies, one is with us and the other is in Pei Gong's hand..."
It's okay if he didn't say this, but when he said it, people who hadn't seen the content clearly became even more angry.
what happened?
I just listened to it for a billion dollars, and I was torn apart before I even knew what was going on?
What a waste of money!
Looking at a group of people who were like dogs grabbing shit, Wang Chen couldn't stand it anymore and was so angry that he slapped the case:
“What are you arguing about? Just read it out and let everyone listen together!”
He didn’t read the last article carefully, he only remembered the one billion. If someone reads it again, he can listen carefully.
When everyone heard this, they stopped and chatted among themselves.
But you can’t blame them, after all, it’s a billion dollars!
And it’s just a minimum estimate.
The most important thing is that this money is only the first batch.
Even if there aren’t that many in the back, the wins come in a steady stream.
After all, China has been growing mulberry and hemp since ancient times, and it is still being planted today.
If this white pile can really be used as both hemp and wool, wouldn't it be an everlasting source of wealth?
If it were anything else, it might just be a joke.
But when people even bring out cotton-padded clothes, the nature is completely different.
No matter who comes here, even the emperor will probably lose his temper when he hears this billion.
Even if there is not actually one billion, if you break it by half, it would still be 500 million.
After discounting the 500 million yuan, there are still more than 200 million yuan left.
More than 200 million, one family in Bingzhou is enough to betray the Wei thieves more than a dozen times.
Don't talk about betraying the Wei thieves. Even if they were asked to sell the legitimate daughter of the clan, they would pack it up and sell it away without hesitation.
Whichever one Feng Duhu wants, he can name it on the spot and they will be responsible for dressing it up and delivering it directly to your door. If you are not satisfied, it will be refunded!
Thinking of this, everyone—including Wang Chen and Guo Pei—had an idea:
No wonder the Guan and Zhang families, as the top dignitaries of the Han Dynasty, were vying to give their women to Feng Duhu, and they were even willing to have the left and right wives side by side. Sure enough, there was a reason.
Also, those aristocratic families in the Central Plains who occupied land suitable for growing cotton dared to support the Wei thieves. Sure enough, they all deserved death!
