After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister

The Xiliang Dusifu sent special products such as saffron, Tianshan snow lotus, wolfberry, and the most important thing was ten horses from the Western Regions.

Jiang Tongzhi from Xiliang who gave gifts, he is Du Shuai's son-in-law, and his identity is also suitable. This time, he came back with the imperial envoy to give gifts.

He knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you for your grace."

However, instead of withdrawing, he took out the gift list again. "The Lord of Qingping Township brought in two sets of cotton clothes, two dragon and phoenix quilts, two pairs of cotton shoes, two pairs of cotton cloth, two cotton hats, and two pairs of cotton gloves, wishing the emperor a long life without borders, the country will last forever, and the future will last forever. "

As soon as the voice fell, someone laughed, "Pfft."

These are several princes, with extremely disdainful expressions, "Is she just so poor? What kind of shoes and clothes are she giving away, and only two pieces are given away. It's ridiculous."

Shame on the court."

"No, I heard that she opened a snack street in Liangcheng. It is very famous and it is said to be very profitable."

where."

It's easy to do, and you only need to send some special products.

Especially the officials and princes of the capital, the gifts they gave were very elaborate and precious.

At this time of year, the prices of rare and antiques have skyrocketed, and they have been swept away. Like a white jade Buddha presented by the fifth prince, it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and that's all, the emperor doesn't take a second look.

Mu Wanqing's birthday gift is too simple, and most large families dislike it.

An official of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this minister proposes to severely punish such unfaithful and unrighteous people, remove the title of the township lord, and demote him to the common people."

Other officials expressed their approval, "The minister seconded the proposal, she is not worthy of the position of the township owner."

"It will only be a disgrace to the villagers who have brought shame to the court."

For a while, it was all a crusade against Mu Wanqing, and countless charges were detained on her head.

The emperor sitting in a high position looked at these people indifferently, noncommittal.

The prince stood up and bowed, "Father, can you first see the birthday gift presented by Qingping Township Lord?"

Although she has never met Mu Wanqing, her ghostly image is very profound. He doesn't believe that she will fall into such a thing.

"Yes."

Jiang Tongzhi went out for a while and came back with two big bags.

He first took out the cotton-padded coat and presented it with both hands. The waiter took it and checked it before handing it over to the emperor.

The cotton coat is plain, plain fabric, without any pattern, blue for men and red for women.

Everyone dislikes it, how can this kind of thing be presented to the king?

"Your Majesty, this is disrespectful, and the minister requests that Qingping Township be charged with the crime..."

It's...a little bit magical.

"Get a pair of scissors."

The courtier looked at this scene in astonishment, what happened? Are you confused? Should not be ah.

The emperor picked up the scissors and cut, cut the outer fabric, stretched his hand in and pulled out, and grabbed a handful of soft and fluffy cotton wool. "What is this?"

Jiang Tongzhi replied nervously, "Cotton, warmer and lighter than reeds."

The emperor gave him a fixed look, a little excitement in his heart, "Bring the quilt here."

Jiang Tongzhi opened another package, revealing a quilt, the emperor touched it, soft and warm.

The hall was silent, and they all stared at his movements.

Before, no matter how precious a birthday gift was, he didn't see him take a second look, let alone get started.

But at this moment, he was touching and rubbing, and he was still very excited.

The prince boldly stepped forward to pick up a cotton glove and put it on his hand, the emperor gave him a stern look, "Don't touch it, be gentle."

The corner of the prince's mouth twitched, it was not paper, "This glove is so soft and warm, what kind of material is this? How come Gu has never seen it before?"

The father and son looked at Jiang Tongzhi at the same time, Jiang Tongzhi knelt down and said, "Report to the emperor, these are all made of cotton extracted from kapok by the Qingping township owner. The cotton is soft, breathable and comfortable, and the quilt and cotton coat It is a great weapon to prevent cold, the key is that it is cheap and easy to use, and the common people can afford it. With this thing, the people of the world will no longer suffer from severe cold, and there will be no more people who freeze to death.”

There was an uproar and a buzzing sound.

Kapok? Did you make a mistake? Isn't that an ornamental plant?

The emperor stood up abruptly, looking very excited, "You say it again, I didn't hear it clearly."

Jiang Tongzhi repeated it again, and said, "This is the result of repeated research by the Qingping township owner, spending countless hard work, and countless experiments. She searched Xiliang and only found When I got 20 catties of cotton, I made all these things, and I didn't keep any of them privately. The loyalty of the Qingping township owner can be learned from the world. He is dedicated to the country and the people, and lives up to the emperor's high expectations.

These high-ranking dignitaries are not involved in production, and they have no ability. They will only besiege a girl in a group.

Isn't it because Mu Wanqing is too out-of-the-ordinary and too showy, and these officials are incompetent?

They, even Mu Wanqing can't compare with a single finger.

"Good, good." The emperor was very happy, and repeatedly praised, Mu Wanqing was indeed a talent, and he did not disappoint him.

How long has it been? It brought him another huge surprise.

Cotton, cotton, the more he looked at this thing, the more he liked it. With his eyesight, he could see the unusualness of this thing at a glance.

And the value behind this made him even more excited, benefiting the country and the people, and the merits of the future.

Jiang Tongzhi bowed his hands, "Qingping township owner said, not silkworm and cotton, not hemp and cloth, benefit the world, its great benefit." Note (1)

The audience is shocked, this thing sounds more useful and more extensive than satin.

Mu Wanqing's birthday gift was brilliant and stole everyone's limelight.

In front of this birthday gift, the most precious gift in the past is dimmed.

I also hit those people in the face, and their faces were swollen. Think Mu Wanqing's gift is too light? Hehe, you are blind!

Want to cure her? Your brain has a problem.

Jiang Tongzhi's face full of admiration, "Qingping township owner wants to plant cotton in a large area in Xiliang, to create a huge cotton textile industry for Xiliang, Qi and the emperor, and the world will be blessed, please be kind to the emperor. allow."

He thought the cement waterwheel was the limit. Who knew that she could still make cotton.

It's not luck, it's real.

The person he admired the most in his life was Mu Wanqing, she let many people see that women's talents can shine like this.

"Yes." The emperor agreed without hesitation.

The fifth prince's eyes flashed, and he winked at several officials. An official of the Ministry of Rites came out and knelt down, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

The emperor's face sank, "What did you say?"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites lay their heads on the ground, "It's okay to plant cotton, but you can't occupy a large area of ​​arable land. The people are the first, and the people take food as the sky. The emperor, please think twice."

Jiang Tongzhi sneered, these officials only know how to fight for power.

"Xiliang is not a traditional farming area, so why does it occupy cultivated land? If you are worried, I can guarantee that it will only be grown in the Xiliang area."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly, "What do you know as a warrior, many things affect the whole body..."

Jiang Tongzhi laughed, "I don't understand, I only know that the people only want to be fed and clothed. We Xiliang military and civilians are committed to this, but adults don't seem to care about the life and death of the people."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were furious, "You are talking nonsense, I want them to be full first, and it's useless to say anything on an empty stomach."

In fact, this topic is already crooked, and there are problems with logic.

Jiang Tongzhi opened up rudely, "Isn't this something that your courtiers should consider? I haven't seen you think of a solution before, why are you suddenly worrying about the country and the people?"

These words were too sarcastic, and the official was furious, "How can you be led by a woman by the nose as an acquaintance of the governor? It's absolutely ridiculous.

To put it bluntly, he just looked down on women. Even if Mu Wanqing made achievements, he still felt that it was a public appearance and was insecure. Produce

Jiang Tongzhi remarked, "In our Xiliang area, the strong are respected, and the strong are male, female, young and old, unlike some people, whose ability is not comparable to that of women, but their heart is better than that of women. The woman is still young."

"You... Your Majesty, you must not listen to the words of the family." The Ministry of Rites official said loudly, "It's a big trouble, and you have to let someone check on this."

The inspection is false, and the trouble is true.

"Father, my son is willing to go."

"Father, my son is willing to go."

The third prince and the fifth prince spoke out at the same time, eager to try. They have figured out how to maximize their benefits.

This benefit must be firmly grasped in one's own hands and become the money bag for one's own succession.

Jiang Tongzhi's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, "Your Majesty, the village owner of Qingping said that if someone objected or pointed fingers, then she would grow cotton on her own farm, she would do it herself, and be conceited. Profit or loss has nothing to do with people. Anyway, the emperor already knows her loyalty, and she is satisfied."

In fact, Mu Wanqing had anticipated all this.

She didn't plan to plant cotton, the seeds are not enough, but the good words to show loyalty must be said before, showing that good things are not hidden.

Other things are okay, the meaning of cotton is unusual, and it must be reported to the emperor.

Lest anyone attack her with this.

If she encounters obstacles, she will take a step back. It is not that she is unfaithful.

Everyone:…

No no, this won't work!

Jiang Tongzhi still has a trump card in his hand, "Your Majesty, this is a letter written by the owner of Qingping Township."

It can only be said that Mu Wanqing has a lot of hearts and minds, and ordinary people can't play her.

"Hurry up." The emperor ordered urgently.

As soon as the letter was delivered to him, he hurriedly opened it and looked at it.

Looking at it, his expression became more and more strange, half a smile but not a smile, half annoyed but not annoyed, half a mockery but a mockery.

Everyone watched eagerly, and their curiosity was completely hooked.

What was written? Hurry up, hurry up!

The author has something to say: Note (1) Li Shizhen has recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica.

Push the pre-collection "Pretty Cannon Fodder Self-Saving Manual", like to collect it.

Copy:

Nan Qiao entered a book "The Princess is the Queen", in which the princess of the subjugated country and the prince of the new dynasty are deeply in love.

Her father is a loyal minister who would rather sacrifice his own daughter to protect the fallen princess.

And she was the unfortunate cannon fodder who died in place of the princess.

At this moment, she was pushed out of the carriage by her father, and she watched her father take the princess away, followed by the rebels who were chasing after her.

Nan Qiao: Tired, destroy it!

"The princess is here."

Nan Qiao could only save herself, grabbed her arm fiercely, rushed towards the rebels with tears in her eyes, hugging one of them and crying miserably.

"Brother, brother, I am your half-sister."

Rebels: ? ? ?

Ji Yunqing:…

When they first met, Ji Yunqing thought that she was a weak and unable to take care of herself, and she was a little disgusted, but she was taken in by a good deed.

Later, I petted, used to, protected, fell into my heart, and was reluctant to let go.

One day, Nan Qiao was holding a blood-dropping dagger, looking weak and cold.

"Brother, you can go to the horse to make peace in the world, and I can put a pen on the world, let's turn those idiots over."

Ji Yunqing:…
