And Li Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, conscripted soldiers and horses from Taozhou, Minzhou, Diezhou, and Hezhou.

Settled in Shudun City in the south of Kuozhou to aid Tuyuhun who was beaten by Tubo.

On behalf of the Tang Dynasty, we must stand up for Tuyuhun and stop the Tubo's unreasonable and unreasonable occupation of Tuyuhun's land for no reason.

As for the twenty binoculars presented by the prince, it was at the military meeting the next day after returning to the imperial capital Chang'an.

It has been completely divided up by a group of generals who were ordered to prepare for the expedition.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty held the last remaining one in his hand, otherwise Li Shimin might not even be able to keep a single telescope.

After all, such a good baby, those famous generals of the Tang Dynasty who have been on the battlefield for a long time, are very aware of how important the role of detecting the enemy first is in determining the outcome of the war.

With the one that was left behind, Li Shimin could enjoy his eye addiction from time to time.

General Cheng, who didn't catch any of them, was very unhappy. After all, he was Cheng Sanlang's own father, and he couldn't get the treasure offered by his own son.

However, in view of the fact that all his colleagues were about to go to the expedition, General Cheng finally controlled his emotions and did not make a fuss.

After all, General Cheng felt a sense of accomplishment seeing these old brothers fighting for the treasures presented by their own sons with red faces and thick necks.

What Cheng Sanlang presented was not just the telescope, he also presented the process of making the telescope.

But it is a pity that Datang does not have the most important thing for making telescopes: pure transparent colorless glass.

It can only be provided by Hantang Commercial Bank, and the colorless glass that Hantang Commercial Bank can provide every month is raw material.

That thing is expensive, and the workshops of the imperial court need to train glass grinders themselves, although there are many craftsmen grinding jade and crystal products in the workshops of the imperial court.

But it is not easy to train a qualified glass grinding craftsman. After all, grinding telescope lenses requires strict standards and precision, not artistic modeling.

That would take a lot of time and energy, and waste countless raw materials to cultivate it.

However, considering the importance of this thing to the Datang military, seeing the scene where these famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are about to fight for this small telescope

Li Shimin decided to hand over this object to the Military Weapons Supervisor to speed up the production, and then recruited craftsmen from other workshops who specialize in grinding jade and glass.

At least in a short period of time, a group of qualified ground glass craftsmen should be cultivated.

Before that, Hantang Commercial Bank will provide binoculars to the imperial court at a rate of five per month.

Of course, with the increase of skilled craftsmen, after three months, the number of binoculars that the Hantang Commercial Bank can provide per month can be doubled to fifteen.

And Zhao's Western Region Liulifang provides twelve telescopes every month, and after three months, it will reach more than twenty.

After all, Hantang Commercial Bank's own fleet is also in urgent need of this thing, so we can't just take care of the country and the people and put ourselves on it, right?

Riding a fast horse, he galloped under the vast and vast plateau towards Luoxie City. At this moment, Luoxie City has become the new capital of Tubo, but the construction progress has not been counted. quick. "As expected of the third son Cheng, if it was someone else, Zhao might not believe it, but if the third son made a move, then there would be no problem."

Cheng Ping laughed when he saw the expressions of the father and son, and explained to them in detail that there are hundreds of thousands of catties of cotton stored in the old Cheng's warehouse.

Now a large amount of seed cotton is turned into clean and white cotton every day.

And at the beginning of next summer, Hantang Commercial Bank must provide the court with news of 50,000 sets of cotton coats and cotton gloves.

After listening to Cheng Ping's detailed explanation, Zhao Zhengyang and his son, who already knew it well, naturally did not refuse.

"It's not a problem at all. Our old Zhao's family has been weaving cloth for several generations in Chang'an."

"In Chang'an, although there are not many people, there are three to five hundred weavers and tailors, and we can still get them out."

"As long as cotton can be supplied in a timely manner, let alone the beginning of next summer, we can hand over 50,000 sets of winter clothes by the end of this year."

Seeing this confident Zhao Zhengyang, Cheng Ping raised his mouth strangely.

"Then if it's 200,000 sets, how long will it take you?"

"Two hundred thousand sets?" Zhao Zhengyang's face couldn't help but change. "200,000 sets of winter clothes like this may take at least half a year."

"Mr. Zhao, you are also a shareholder of Hantang Commercial Bank, and there is another piece of news that Cheng must inform you first."

"Maybe next year, Hantang Commercial Bank will acquire 500,000 mu of wasteland in Liangzhou to grow cotton."

"!!"

#####

When Zhao Zhengyang and his son left Duke Lu's mansion, they both felt that they were floating.

The white folded cloth has become so high-quality and cheap after being tampered with by Cheng Sanlang, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually wanted to give the Han and Tang Commercial Bank 500,000 mu of wasteland to grow cotton for free.

500,000 mu, and it was given away for free, and what was paid was only 200,000 sets of winter clothes.

"Young Master Cheng is really an extraordinary person, this ability really opened my eyes..."

Just as Zhao Zhengyang was sighing with emotion, Zhao Xian suddenly thought of a big event, poked his father with his finger and said in a low voice.

"Father, we just ordered a thousand bolts of white cloth from Hu Shang, look..."

Zhao Zhengyang reacted immediately, and slapped his thigh.

"Oh, if you don't remind me, the old man almost forgot. If it doesn't work, go to the West Market quickly, and the old man will go and tell the Hu merchant himself that we don't want the white cloth."

"Father, we have already paid a deposit of 100 Guan..."

"Are you stupid? Then Hu Shang gave us a piece of white folded cloth for five, if we get it all back.

What kind of price do you think will be when the white folded cloth from the third son hits the market? "

The father and son hurried the carriage towards the West Market.

And Qin Qiong looked at Cheng Yaojin with a look of shock.

"Second brother Qin, don't worry, little brother, can I still take such a big thing as a joke and tease you?"

Qin Qiong raised her hand to caress her long beard, and shook her head for a long time. "Your Saburo, why can't you be stable for a while."

"How long has it been since the pepper plantation?"

Cheng Yaojin was directly unhappy, puffed up his eyes and said.

"What's the matter, could it be that the second brother thinks you have too much money, or too much land?"

"I didn't say that, I just think it's too outrageous."

"Second Brother Qin, don't worry, it will be time to take a rest in two days, so as to invite all the elders of the Han and Tang Commercial Bank to have a gathering.

As soon as you come, I just invite everyone to take a good look at the great things my family Saburo has done. These two, invite everyone to drink and eat meat. "

Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help muttering again. "Second Brother Qin, that's 500,000 mu... It's free..."
