Chapter 1490 If You Don’t Go, I Will Go
"By the way, you just said that this is a place for Ping An to play during the day, but what about at night?"
"If the little girl sleeps too cold at night, she will easily get cold, which is not good for the little girl." The emperor walked up to Zhao Chen and asked.
On the surface, the emperor was worried about catching cold while sleeping safely at night, but in fact, he wanted to know if Zhao Chen had any other options.
"this……"
"Brother Zhao, the folks in the village have already disposed of the cotton and cleaned out all the cotton seeds."
"Do you have time to go take a look today?" Zhao Chen was just about to speak when he heard the old village chief's voice coming from outside.
In this winter, the village chief came here because he obviously had something important to do.
As for this cotton, the emperor felt that he had heard of it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Why do I seem to have heard of this cotton somewhere before?" The emperor frowned and looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen did not speak, but looked at the door in front of him, and then opened the door and came out.
The emperor followed him out of the door. The moment he went out, he felt cold and shivered all over.
I really don’t want to go out!
The emperor thought to himself, but his eyes fell on the old village chief in front of him.
The village chief was wearing a slightly bloated dress, but he didn't seem to feel the cold at all.
"Your Majesty the Emperor." The old village chief knew the Emperor. When he saw the Emperor coming out of Li Man, he immediately saluted him.
The emperor and the old village chief waved their hands, and then asked curiously: "The clothes on the old man's body look a little thin, but why don't I see that the old man is cold?"
The emperor was curious.
He felt that the problem was in the clothes.
"Your Majesty, this dress is made of cotton given to me by Brother Zhao. It feels very warm when worn."
"Look." The old village chief and the emperor showed off a corner of their clothes.
There is a thick layer of white cotton inside.
The emperor reached out and touched it, only to feel
It's incredibly soft and warm in your hands.
"This thing..." The emperor's face was full of surprise.
Then he looked at Zhao Chen: "Did you make this thing?"
"Ah." Zhao Chen just nodded.
Last year, Zhao Chen gave Queen Changsun a pair of gloves, which were made of cotton.
But cotton was only grown at that time, so I could only make one pair of gloves.
If Zhao Chen remembered correctly, the emperor took it with him when he went to Chang'an Academy.
"Are you going to Wannian County? If you don't go, I will go!" The emperor and Zhao Chen asked.
The emperor only felt that there was a bright future waiting for him.
You absolutely cannot miss it.
How could Zhao Chen not understand what the emperor meant.
It was not a bad thing for the cotton to be seen by the emperor.
On the contrary, you can ask the emperor to help you publicize it when the time comes.
"Then go and have a look." Under the expectation of the emperor, the emperor nodded.
…
The emperor was very happy and looking forward to it.
He hasn't been in such a mood for a long time.
Today, not only did I get the drawings of the kang, I also got to see cotton that can keep me warm.
Now the emperor's only worry is how much cotton there is in the village.
Or, can this cotton be grown on a large scale?
If it can be planted on a large scale, and combined with this warm kang, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to keep warm no matter whether it is day or night, whether they are at home or going out.
In that case, the Tang Dynasty would really be a land of abundance.
"Hey, boy Chen, are the gloves you gave to your mother last year also made of cotton?" the emperor and Zhao Chen asked.
It was only at this time that he remembered.
The emperor then thought that the pair of gloves he was wearing were extremely warm.
At that time, he was still wondering what it was made of that could keep it so warm.
Now I understand.
It turned out to be cotton inside.
"Yes." Zhao Chen simply answered with the word "yes".
The emperor wanted to continue asking, but seeing Zhao Chen's unwillingness to pay attention to him, he lost much interest at the moment.
It also snowed in Chang'an, but the snow has not yet melted.
The road to Wannian County is not that easy.
The three of them walked for two hours before arriving at the entrance of the village.
"Your Majesty, Brother Zhao, let's go to the old man's house to have something to eat first. We will go over to look at the cotton later." The old village chief asked the emperor and Zhao Chen.
The emperor was a little impatient.
But at this time, Zhao Chen's opinion still dominated, so he had to suppress his inner excitement and looked at Zhao Chen: "What did you say?"
"Let's eat first. It's noon and it's getting late." Zhao Chen nodded.
Although it was not his true thoughts, the emperor followed him to the village chief's home.
When the people in the village knew that Zhao Chen was coming, they all flocked to the door to watch.
"I didn't expect that after so long, you are still so respected in the village." The emperor put down his chopsticks, looked at the people outside, and smiled with Zhao Chen.
In the court, few people like Zhao Chen.
But in this village, these people really love Zhao Chen.
Even though it was so cold and freezing, even though Zhao Chen asked them to go back, everyone still stood there and watched.
"Brother Zhao is the benefactor of everyone in our village. Brother Zhao has been busy recently and has little time to come to the village, so everyone is reluctant to leave." The old village chief explained to the emperor with a smile.
For Zhao Chen, they were truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
>
If it weren't for Zhao Chen, their village might not be what it would be like.
Today's village is the richest village in the entire Wannian County.
Even Wannian County officials have to smile when they see them.
And all this is because of Zhao Chen.
"I haven't been in Chang'an much recently, so I haven't come to the village to visit you. It's cold and the roads outside are slippery. The village chief still has to remind everyone to pay attention to safety." Zhao Chen said to the village chief with a smile.
The village chief nodded, even though Zhao Chen's identity was different from before.
But Zhao Chen's attitude towards him was still the same as before.
This is also the reason why the village chief is willing to go to Chang'an to meet Zhao Chen in person.
There are a few people who can maintain their original aspirations even after becoming famous!
"I will, I will." The old village chief nodded repeatedly, but there was a tangled look on his face.
"What's the matter? Does the village chief have something to do?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, actually the old man wants to ask you for help with something." The old village chief said hesitantly.
"Village chief, just tell me, if there is any need for me, I will definitely help." Zhao Chen nodded.
The emperor frowned, Zhao Chen was not so cheerful in front of him.
If I ask Zhao Chen to help, this guy will still make things difficult for me in every possible way.
Now in front of the village chief, he actually agreed so readily.
This made the emperor feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"That's it. Do you remember Xiao Lu and Zhao at the east end of the village? He is getting married."
"Xiao Lu is getting married?"
"Which family does the woman belong to?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.
Xiao Lu at the east end of the village is Zhao Chen's playmate in his memory.
When Zhao Chen and Uncle Fu were in the village before, Xiao Lu also gave him a lot of help.
Zhao Chen was also happy when he heard that Xiao Lu was getting married.
