Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly.
If Fengzi left, what about the cotton-padded clothes?
He couldn't handle it alone.
No, he had to listen to Fengzi.
"Fengzi, what do you think about this?"
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Feng and asked seriously.
Personally, he didn't want Zhang Feng to go to the Academy, at least not now.
Because he still had a lot of things to deal with. If he really left, who would give him ideas?
"The basketball game is my previous promise. This thing has to be done. Just now, Sir said that many people have begun to ask. It's not appropriate to not do it. Lao Li, I'll leave the cotton-padded clothes to you for the time being. Everyone in the yard knows how to do it. You don't have to worry about anything."
Zhang Feng glanced at the crowd and said.
Indeed, this was the time to pay attention to promises.
For a promise, some people would even risk their lives.
If he said he didn't do it now, he wouldn't be able to establish himself in the future.
Everyone's spittle could drown him. This had nothing to do with status. After all, gossip was a fearful thing.
After hearing Zhang Feng's words, Li Shimin didn't say anything.
He also understood the reason. Although he was reluctant to leave Zhang Feng, it seemed that this basketball game had to be done.
Zhang Feng waved to Du Ziteng and said, "Old Du, go and tell Jingshu and Yuyao to pack up and get ready to go to the Academy with me."
Li Shimin and the others looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.
Yu Shinan was full of joy. He thought that this guy was finally going to go to the Academy with him. This time, he couldn't let him go down the mountain easily.
After a while, Jingshu and Zhang Yuyao packed up their luggage.
Zhang Feng and Li Shimin said goodbye to each other and went out of the mansion with Yu Shinan and the others.
Only the disappointed crowd was left behind.
Although Zhang Feng said that there was no problem with the cotton-padded clothes, Li Shimin still had a headache.
After all, this was his first time handling this matter, so he wasn't very clear about it.
Seeing Li Shimin's doubts, Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said, "Actually, this is an opportunity. Although Feng Zi left, the marketing model he mentioned before can still be used."
"Speak clearly."
Li Shimin asked.
Everyone looked at Zhangsun Wuji in unison.
Zhang Xuan chuckled, "As long as we can find the merchants of the various prefectures who sell silk and cloth, we'll be able to expand this industry and even monopolize it. Actually, I've already taken a look at it. The process isn't too complicated. The difficult part lies in flicking the cotton. The servants of the Zhang Residence have already grasped all of this."
"That's right. As long as we work with the merchants, it won't be difficult at all."
Wei Zheng chimed in from the side.
They had seen the entire process of making the cotton-padded clothes and quilts when they had just entered the Zhang Residence. It wasn't very difficult.
Li Shimin secretly nodded. Now that he had the technology to make cotton-padded clothes in his hands, there was nothing to worry about.
As long as he contacted the merchants and guaranteed the cloth and white sheets, everything wouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, his mood immediately improved. "Let's go back to the residence."
…
In the imperial study.
Li Shimin sat upright on the dragon throne with a cigarette in his hand. He took a puff from time to time and enjoyed it very much. The matter of the cotton-padded clothes had been resolved.
However, Zhang Feng's proposal to hold a basketball game just now aroused his thoughts again.
He had to find a way to get involved in such a good thing.
These guys in the palace lived in luxury every day. He had to let them go out and broaden their horizons.
He looked at everyone and said, "What do you think? Shouldn't we support the basketball game that Feng Zi is holding this time?"
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, not only should we support Feng Zi's basketball game, but we should also send people to participate in it."
Li Shimin nodded. Wei Zheng's words happened to hit the nail on the head.
He smiled and said, "I'm going to let the women in the palace lead a team of women to participate in Feng Zi's basketball game. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty's intention is really good. The people in the palace and outside the palace can share entertainment together. It's enough to show Your Majesty's love for the people."
Zhangsun Wuji smiled.
These words made Li Shimin very happy. After all, everyone was willing to listen to good words.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that this matter can be discussed in the morning court tomorrow. Maybe those high-ranking officials will let their children participate. After all, these young masters are all playboys in Chang 'an. They won't let go of such an opportunity."
Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said.
"My beloved, you're right."
Li Shimin nodded and took a deep breath of the cigarette. "Those playboys are also considered the tyrants in Chang 'an. It's time to see the world."
Everyone discussed for a while and then dispersed.
In the morning court the next day.
The officials came to the main hall early, holding white jade tablets and looking solemn.
Li Shimin walked out of the side hall, waved his sleeves, and sat on the dragon throne.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The officials bowed in unison.
Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for the officials to rise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The officials rose.
"My beloved officials, I've received news that the dean of White Deer College, Zhang Feng, is going to organize a basketball game. The winner will be qualified to study in White Deer College. Are you interested?"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the main hall immediately became lively.
"White Deer College is finally going to organize a basketball game."
"Old Man has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. This time, I must let my son participate. The ranking isn't important. The most important thing is to participate."
