Changle's yard is indeed very unique. Not only are there small bridges and flowing water, but it is mainly a combination of various plants and neatly decorated paths to connect the houses of various functions. At the same time, there is a secluded and quiet place, just like the location where Ning Wen and Changle are now.

"It's also the masterpieces of Painter Yan. This yard and this layout were prepared by Painter Yan for Lizhi."

Ning Wen admired Yan Liben too much, but he thought that when Yan Liben changed his career and started decoration design, was it because the painting industry was in a downturn?

When Changle saw Ning Wen in a contemplative manner, he stood beside Ning Wen and looked at the scenery in front of him with Ning Wen's eyes.

"Hey, there's this thing!"

Ning Wen sighed lightly and found a very important plant in the flowers not far ahead. Cotton was still early at this time, but from the perspective of the plant, it must be cotton. This was also a coincidence. Ning Wen made a bet with his colleagues in later generations that it involved cotton, so Ning Wen carefully looked up Baidu and understood the shape of cotton very clearly. Ning Wen read it correctly. There are really a few cotton plants here.

"What, it's just flowers and plants. Why is Guangcheng so surprised?"

Changle is always so gentle and lovely. Listening to Changle's words is like lying on a water bed to enjoy a spa. Ning Wen turned his head and smiled at Changle with a heart-warming smile:

"This is a good thing, not bad than potatoes and sweet potatoes. Haha, I thought it was only available in the extra section, but I didn't expect it to be found in Chang'an City."

Ning Wen had planned to introduce cotton for a long time, but he never had a chance. Besides, Cui Shuai Ge is now abroad, and this time he went abroad, Ning Wen did not draw any pictures for Cui Shuai Ge, mainly because he was afraid of delaying Cui Shuai Ge's inner residence. Now there is one in Changyue Mansion, which is easy to deal with.

When Changle heard that this thing was actually comparable to some potatoes and sweet potatoes, he was also excited. There was no servant around him to do it, so he handed over the important task of transplanting cotton to Ning Wen. Of course, Ning Wen was not vague and looked for hoes and shovels everywhere, but after searching for four or five houses here, he didn't see these things. So Changle asked Ning Wen to wait here, and he returned to the front yard to greet his maids and servants, preparing to transplant these cotton plants to a safer place. Planting them here might one day be ruined by the maids and servants passing by.

In Princess Changle's mansion, gardeners were always there. They called the gardeners from the entire princess' mansion in one breath. Changle still had nothing to say about the work. Not only were they clean and neat, but they were also thoughtful.

Several gardeners skillfully dug up the cotton for each root, gently put it into the wooden basin prepared by Princess Changle, and then handed it to Ning Wen to see how Ning Wen planned to place the cotton.

"It's better to plant it on my farm. I don't know how to plant this cotton."

There were still a few pieces of land in Changle's farm, mainly to introduce sweet potatoes. According to Ning Wen, the branches of sweet potatoes can be cut into the ground, so Changle prepared a lot.

"It's almost time to transplant at this time. Since there is a place, let's go now."

Ning Wen did not delay, thinking about transplanting cotton into the fields earlier, and now saying goodbye to the ornamental plants and devoted himself to the vigorous blooming of branches and leaves. Ning Wen felt that the cotton was happy, at least it had met himself.

Changle nodded and ordered his subordinates to call Gao Yang and Li Zhi over, and everyone went together. At the same time, he also instructed the gardener to try to look around. As long as there is cotton, they would dig it together and ask for money. As for the lion's mouth, Changle would not take it aside.

"Teacher, can this thing be weaved?"

Zhinu carefully touched the branches and leaves of the cotton and asked in disbelief.

"That's right, why don't you dress up for Zhinu first next year?"

Pure cotton products are always easy to sell. Ning Wen has always insisted on using pure cotton products. Unfortunately, when he came to the Tang Dynasty, he was even silk and satin, especially in hot weather, which Ning Wen couldn't stand it at all.

"Make it for me first. The child is still young and cannot wear such good clothes."

Gao Yang pulled Li Zhi's arm and said proudly, as if he liked to see Zhinu's failure.

"Haha, okay, then you can make it for Your Majesty first, and then make a set of cotton clothes for you three!"

Ning Wen said proudly, although it was half-filled, Ning Wen was not worried. If it was really planted, Li Shimin would also find a few capable people to develop the cotton textile industry with him, and if he had to fight against the outside world, he would not be afraid of the cold winter month.

"Ling'er, is there any open space in your village?"

Changle asked.

Gao Yang thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said:

"I don't know, I have to ask the prince's brother about this. It has always been the prince's brother who helped Ling'er manage the farm."

This little girl, who is a little older, has a net worth of hundreds of acres, and she asked the prince to help take care of her. It seems that Gao Yang and Li Chengqian have a good relationship.

Ning Wen glanced at Changle, and it was like this that it was the case with a heart of mind. Ning Wen thought that Changle probably thought of Li Chengqian at this moment, and maybe he planned to further introduce cotton planting to the princes' farms, which could be regarded as a test field, which would facilitate the wide recommendation of the next step.

"If you ask Painter Yan to come tomorrow, draw the cotton into patterns first so that the servants can search everywhere. These plants are not enough."

Ning Wen thought of Yan Liben. Since cotton has been introduced to our country, maybe there will be its figure in other places. After drawing it, people will post it everywhere, and it will probably have a good effect.

As they spoke, the four of them got on the carriage, galloped out of Mingde Gate and then went southwest, and soon arrived at Changle's Zhuangzi. It was actually a flat and fertile land upstream of Qujiangchi, much better than Ning Wen's family.

The housekeeper in the village was a woman, about twenty-eight or nine years old. Seeing that Changle had arrived without preaching, he thought that someone in the village had done something wrong and quickly sued him.

"Qing'er doesn't have to do this. This princess just brought her younger brothers and sisters to see and plant these cotton plants."

Ning Wen handed a few pots of cotton to the maid named Qing'er. He didn't know what his identity was, and he didn't look like a palace maid. He thought he was a sister next door.

"Hehe, Qing'er is the sister Lizhi met in the palace when she was young. She is very kind to Lizhi, so she begged her father to send Qing'er here."

Changle whispered to Ning Wen that he had seen Gao Yang and Li Zhi a long time ago.

This was the first time Qing'er saw the princess bringing a strange man over, and the man's temperament was not like a servant who carried goods in terms of dress or raising his hands. Instead, he looked like a yamen from which family. Qing'er couldn't help but worry about Changle, and this matter could not be known to others. So Qing'er sent the maid who served him and poured tea and handed water to Ning Wen himself.

"These are cotton. Where does the princess plan to plant it?"

Qing'er and everyone came to the field behind. There were green wheat seedlings everywhere. They were bare and planted nothing on the slightly arched ground. Qing'er pointed here and said.

Changle looked around and thought this was the most suitable place. However, Gao Yang was unwilling to do so and said repeatedly:

"It's better to plant it in the garden, there is nothing here, why plant it here?"

"Yes, it's better to plant it in the garden."

Li Zhi muttered, but his voice was always so low.

"It is to plant it in the fields to be useful. In the future, cotton will be transplanted here, and in a few years, it will be planted on all the open spaces in Chang'an City."

Ning Wen said.

Soon, these pots of cotton were transplanted into the fields on Changle Village. Changle told Qing'er to take care of the cotton carefully and not be careless.

Ning Wen also plans to write down the details of cotton planting after going back as a guidebook for growing cotton. As for crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., this kind of planting manual is also needed. In short, it is necessary to standardize agricultural production and maximize efficiency.
