"What did brother-in-law Tianya say in the letter?"

"Are you just trying to excuse yourself for not sleeping with a man?"

Empress Changsun leaned her head closer and looked eagerly at the letter in Li Shimin's hand. Princess Gaomi next to her also wanted to come closer, but Empress Changsun pushed her head away.

Princess Gaomi looked a little aggrieved and said in a choked voice: "Gu Tianya is my brother-in-law, and I am also qualified to read letters."

"What's wrong with your brother-in-law?"

Empress Changsun glared at her and said angrily: "I have never seen you care so much about other things, but you are more anxious about this matter than anyone else."

Princess Gaomi held her tongue again and argued: "I just want to see if the third brother-in-law sleeps with a Han woman. If he doesn't sleep, then my Duan Lun doesn't have to sleep with her either."

Empress Changsun glared again and scolded: "What did your second brother just say? The matter of Han women is now a national policy, and this is the final decision of the court. Why do you girl always want to escape?"

Princess Gaomi did not dare to speak harshly, but looked at Li Shimin eagerly and asked pitifully: "Second brother, please tell me, third brother-in-law, what is he..."

Li Shimin spoke directly and said coldly: "The letter said that he did not sleep with a Han woman."

As he spoke, he showed the bird's biography and said: "Read it for yourselves, that guy wrote it very clearly in the letter. The so-called rumor of a sleeping woman is really just a rumor. Although Xiuning did lead someone to tell that

The Han girl got her home, and she really arranged a small courtyard for the Han girl as rumored. However, Gu Tianya never entered that small courtyard from the beginning to the end. Now there is news in Youyun City about him sleeping with the Han girl.

It was all spread deliberately..."

Queen Changsun and Princess Gaomi looked at each other and reached out to take the silk book from Li Shimin's hand.

Then, Queen Changsun had the priority to watch.

Princess Gaomi stood aside and peeked eagerly, asking from time to time: "Are you really not sleeping? How is that possible? That night, the third sister Xiuning kicked the third brother-in-law down, then picked up the neck and threw him directly to the concubine.

Did you go to bed?"

Queen Changsun looked at her angrily.

Li Shimin was also not angry and said in a cold voice: "Think about it with your brain, how could Xiuning really do such a thing? Even if Gu Tianya and his concubine are to consummate their marriage, it should be a matter of good negotiation between husband and wife.

A good amount...the idea of ​​​​kicking him down is purely to arouse the interest of the people."

Princess Gaomi blinked and added: "But it is also said that the third brother-in-law was beaten so hard by Sister Xiuning that the tiger baby felt sorry for his father in the end, so he begged for mercy by crying loudly. Sister Xiuning was able to calm down.

Let go of the begging Brother-in-law Gu..."

Poof!

Empress Changsun burst into laughter.

Li Shimin stared at Princess Gaomi helplessly and scolded her again: "Do you have any brains? Do you believe this rumor? Can you think carefully about how old the tiger cub is now? You have calculated that it is only eight months old.

, even if he is already learning the language? But what does such a young child know about feeling sorry for his father?"

"But the rumors say it has a nose and eyes."

"It's nonsense. If you don't make it more real, will the people believe it?"

"So, brother-in-law Gu really didn't sleep with that Chinese concubine."

"That's right? I know this guy rarely lies. Since he wrote a letter specifically to explain? He must have really never done this."

"Second brother? Then can our Duan Lun do it too..."

"Stop talking about this matter, otherwise don't blame me for getting angry. Gu Tianya is Gu Tianya, and your Duan Lun is your Duan Lun. Just now, your second sister-in-law has mentioned this to you many times? Regarding Manchu civil and military officials marrying Han women

This matter is non-negotiable. Even I have to obey it."

…

Princess Gaomi finally gave up her mind.

At this time, Empress Changsun raised her head, with a hint of solemnity on her face, and said softly: "So this letter from brother-in-law Tianya is not to explain the matter of the sleeping man? His real intention is to focus on the other two things written in the letter.

.Your Majesty? What do you think?"

Li Shimin hesitated slightly, then nodded slowly for a long time, and said solemnly: "Okay!"

After saying this word, he added: "I think the two things he said are very good."

Princess Gaomi next to her quickly pricked up her ears, obviously not wanting to miss the ensuing conversation between Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

I saw Empress Changsun lowering her head to read the letter again, and while reading, she said: "My brother-in-law said in the letter that solving the problem of the fate of Han women should be divided into three steps. The first step is to change the traditional concepts of the people, especially the big men.

People who are socialists? Don’t let them care too much about a Chinese woman losing her virginity.”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's why I agreed to Wei Zheng's advice and ordered all civil and military officials in the dynasty to marry Han women. Even I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had to personally marry nine Han women into the palace?"

In this way, we can change the minds of the people."

Empress Changsun said 'hmm', then read the letter and said: "The second step is to live. If the Han women want to find their destination, it is not just as simple as changing the traditional folk concepts. After all, it involves hundreds of thousands of people. In the future

Hundreds of thousands of families need to be formed. Therefore, it is necessary for Han women to have skills so that they will not be treated harshly when they get married in the future..."

Li Shimin slowly raised his head, stared at the roof and muttered: "Gu Tianya said in the letter that he has found a way out for the Han women. If this road is taken well, hundreds of thousands of families can have enough food and clothing, and

If we at Datang are willing to cooperate, we will also enjoy huge benefits from this matter in the future."

"Benefit?"

Princess Gaomi stood aside and heard these two words, and she immediately wanted to come over and read the letter eagerly.

Empress Changsun looked at her helplessly and sighed: "Don't be impatient, it's your family's responsibility. Your third brother-in-law said in the letter that this time the benefits will be shared by the Li family, and your Majesty will occupy the majority of it. The royal family will

Two-tenths will be shared, and another three-tenths will be reserved for the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty..."

Princess Gaomi looked at the queen eagerly and asked eagerly: "What is the specific transaction? Do you need to invest money? If you need to invest money, the Duan family can help the third brother-in-law bear more. I am his sister-in-law after all. I am sure.

I want to help my brother-in-law solve his difficulties."

Li Shimin sneered, exposed it directly and slapped him in the face: "I'm afraid you want to gain more influence."

Princess Gaomi made no secret of it and said: "The Duan family has nothing but a lot of money in the coffers. I will invest a little more for the third brother-in-law, which can be regarded as solving his problem."

Li Shimin snorted and said, "The Duan family has a lot of money, right? Then you might as well lend some to me."

Princess Gaomi immediately changed her mind and said: "The money is not much. It was all saved by frugality after my little sister got married. I will leave it to the children in the future to prevent them from cold and hunger."

Li Shimin glared angrily and said: "If I ask you to borrow money, you are willing to actively invest in Gu Tianya? How can you be considered my sister, you damn girl?"

Princess Gaomi was not particularly afraid of his imperial majesty, and said with a smile: "I can make money by investing money in the third brother-in-law, but lending it to you as an emperor is like a meat bun beating a dog. Little sister, I am not a fool. Which one is better?"

I still know it’s bad.”

Li Shimin's face was bulging with anger, and he said angrily: "You think lending me money is like a meat bun beating a dog?"

Princess Gaomi swooped to the side of Empress Changsun, and defended with fear on her face: "Slip of the tongue, a momentary slip of the tongue, second brother, don't get angry, you know I have been careless since I was a child."

Li Shimin snorted.

Seeing that he had no intention of pursuing the matter, Princess Gaomi cautiously walked out from the side of Queen Changsun. She looked at the silk book in Changsun's hand again and asked eagerly: "Sister-in-law Changsun, did the third brother-in-law say in the letter what the property is?"

?What kind of benefit is it that all of us can share?"

Empress Changsun did not answer directly, but looked towards Li Shimin.

Li Shimin snorted again and said: "Gao Mi is not an outsider. Just tell her and it will save her from worrying about her every day and making her jabbering annoying."

Queen Changsun nodded, and then said to Princess Gaomi: "According to what your third brother-in-law said, dozens of huge workshops will be built in the land of Youyun. After the workshops are completed, those Han women will be

Recruit them all, and then buy wool with the Turks..."

"Build a workshop?"

"Recruiting female workers?"

"Then, buy wool?"

Princess Gaomi's eyes were dazed when she heard this, and she obviously didn't understand what it meant.

Queen Changsun said again: "Now the Youyun Mutual Market has been opened. The Turks on the grassland like the goods on the mutual market very much. The Turks make a living as nomads. Almost every tribe has a large number of cattle and sheep, so whenever they go to the mutual market

When buying goods, they would drive a large number of cattle and sheep as money... Even the cattle and sheep were willing to exchange for goods. There would be no problem buying wool from them, and the price was so low that it was almost like giving it away for free.

generally."

Princess Gaomi blinked and asked curiously: "What happens after you buy the wool?"

Empress Changsun raised the letter and said with a smile: "Your third brother-in-law is a descendant of Momen. He has secret recipes for various utensils. It is said that this time he is going to create a special textile tool that can spin wool into extremely soft wool.

Wool, and then wool can be used to make cloth, and once you have cloth, what can you do?"

Princess Gaomi's eyes shone, clearly like copper coins, and she subconsciously said: "The grassland is so vast, the Turks have countless cattle and sheep, and every spring and summer, the wool from the sheep needs to be picked up and thrown away...

"

Queen Changsun laughed and said: "I will definitely not throw it away in the future, because the wool can be sold to us."

"But it's so cheap, it's almost like giving it away for free!" Princess Gaomi is a good person when it comes to money.

Empress Changsun glanced at her, nodded and said: "Now you understand how great the benefits your third brother-in-law said. However, he said there is another problem with this matter, that is, wool cannot be directly spun into thread, and needs to be added in

Something called cotton is used as an auxiliary, otherwise the pure wool thread is not strong enough, and it will not be easy to use even if it is spun."

"cotton?"

Princess Gaomi blinked.
