1. Cotton should not be requested
The clouds and birds are all around the autumn windows,
It is strong and powerful to suppress the forty prefectures of Xichuan.
All generals should not be greedy for Qiang horses,
There is a side at the highest level.
——————————————Xue Tao’s "Chubing Border Building". The Chubing Border Building was built in Victoria when Li Deyu left Xichuan during the fourth year of the Dahe period of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty (830). At that time, Xue Tao was over 10 years old.

At the end of the banquet, Gao Yue and Wei Gao were divided into two routes from Shancheng to the capital.
Wei Gao took the way from Taozhou, passed through the cool plateau of Songzhou in summer, and then went to Victoria Wuyou City, deployed to continue the siege, and then went to Chang'an again;
Gao Yue went directly from Chengzhou to Hechi City, and then through Xingyuan Prefecture, where a group of talents had been reserved in Jieshi and the entire Taofen Academy and Wudao Academy. Gao Yue was preparing to place them in Wuzhou: after all, according to his consultation with Wei Gao and Ximen Can, several states including Wuzhou were about to be incorporated into the jurisdiction of Xingyuan Prefecture. After the arrangements were made, Gao Yue would go to Chang'an City again on Luogu Road.
It is expected that in August of autumn, we will be able to ask the emperor in the Daming Palace.
The next day, when the sun rose, there were traffic in front of the Shancheng Yamen Office, with armor and horses flying like clouds, and flags roaming, surrounded by Gao Yue and Wei Gao, two Rongshangs, and embarked on the road to enter the capital.
Before leaving, Mou Di also came to see him off.
"It's useless." When Gao Yue was wearing a good court uniform, wearing a jade ornament and a fish bag, he suddenly said this to Mou Di.
Mou Di was slightly surprised, but he soon understood that he was secretly observing Gao Yue, and Gao Yue must have been secretly observing him - what Mou Di wanted to do, Gao Yue knew what he wanted to do.
"Why did Mr. Ji say this?" Even so, Mou Di couldn't help but ask.
He was a little unwilling to give up, and his thoughts were suddenly denied.
"The reason why countries like Xifan can boast about their momentary strength in martial arts was just to take advantage of the indignation of the Tang Dynasty. Its own problems have accumulated too many, and you can understand your expectations. But when all the problems are linked together, it is far from what you can solve well, especially by copying other people's experiences."
After saying that, looking at the depressed Mou Di, Gao Yue sighed and patted the young man Zanpu's shoulder, his tone became gentle, "How would you choose? Should you risk the guns, spears and arrows in countless lights and dark areas to return to the plateau and change it; or should you be calm and stay in Liangzhou to practice Buddhism and finally achieve enlightenment - this Tao feels that the latter is better for you."
Then Gao Yue stepped out of the yamen office.
"Sena is tired!" At this time, Mou Di's voice came from behind him.
Senale means "try bravely" in the Western language.
Mou Di has made up his mind. In fact, it is difficult for Xifan, a country in military terms to compete with the Tang Empire for the time being, but he is more concerned about what Yuan Tongzhi said about "national economy and people's livelihood". As long as he can find a new path for Xifan, he is willing to "try it".
At this moment, Yuan Tongzhi, who was accompanying Gao Yue, looked at Mou Di with a stubborn look with sympathetic eyes.
Gao Yue turned around and looked at Mou Di with some understanding, even admiration.
After staying in Liu De's room, Gao Gu handled political and military affairs in Shancheng. Moreover, Shen Ce's Weirong Army, the Decisive Army and Xuanwei Army were all stationed on the main road of Helong. Then, the team of Ji Gong was escorted to the land from Hehuang to Longyou, and then entered the boundary of Chengzhou. After passing the majestic Qishan, he soon arrived at Qiuchi Mountain. At this time, everyone in the entire team looked obviously happy and excited, "Xingyuan is coming."
Gao Yue, who was riding on the snow on the big snow, looked at everyone's expressions, but it was a bit subtle.
He knew that the entire shogunate, whether it was military generals, officials, ordinary generals, soldiers, and shooters, had regarded Xingyuan Mansion as his home.
At the end of June, in the northern suburbs of Xingyuan, when they arrived at the densely packed "General Bingjian" in Chiya Pass, hot smoke began to emerge from the houses. Gao Yue brought back the two generals and soldiers, and arranged a team in the Daguyuan. Then, according to the books, they handed over the armor, utensils, flags and pack horses, and then returned to the scene of "release the rod and rest": the generals and soldiers were wearing black cotton coats, wrapped around their foreheads, and jumped down the avenue with trees on both sides, ran down the slope, and came to the courtyard of the camp in turn, hugged them with their wives and children who came out to greet them.
The coffin was parked in the courtyard without smoke, and sad crying sounded. The neighbors and military officials around him also stood in front of the door with sad expressions, handing over money to the victim, and helping to find monks and Taoists to do rituals.
When passing a cotton weaving workshop in the north of the city, Xiao Yi stood in front of the door and came to welcome Mr. Ji.
Then Gao Yue got off the horse and asked Quan Deyu and other staff to go first, return to the yamen office and rest, and then followed Xiao Yi into the workshop.
The workshop is a long room full of Qiang women, with a number of less than two or three hundred, and each performs its own duties, including shaking spinning wheels, weaving cloths, and in the yard, there are also people responsible for drying and printing and dyeing. Gao Yue looked at the group of busy women, as if he saw a group of beautiful spiders.
But Xiao Yi complained: "There is really a shortage of supply."
In addition to expressing the prosperity of production and trade, the supply shortage also has another meaning, which is that the production capacity is seriously insufficient.
Gao Yue signaled: "Brother Jingzhi said it's okay."
Xiao Yi then continued: Now the whole world has a very large demand for our Xingyuan cotton cloth. It is not only sold in the southwest, northwest and Jingjin, but also to Shandong East Road, Jingnan, Kuifu and other places. Although it has its own target customers with the silk industry in the southeast of the Jianghuai River, it has basically replaced the original status of linen cloth.
The demand is large, but Xingyuanfu's production capacity is insufficient.
Even though many farmers, Sheshishi, temples, Fengxiang, and Xingyuan, even though they received 10,000 or 20,000 Qiang women who were specializing in weaving through the war, they still could not meet the requirements of each department. The cotton rolls stamped with seals were sold out by calves or boats after being transported to the sale land, but they were still not enough.
At this time, Xiao Yi's face turned red with an impatient face. He said to Gao Yue, Yisong, Helong is now liberated, and it is so suitable to plant cotton there. I heard immediately that the court would still conquer Huaixi Town? If Shen Guang and Cai return to the territory, then the originally blocked Jiangyun will be unblocked again, and we can connect our Xingyuan with the entire southeast, and the cotton cloth will be sold to the more densely populated Xuanshe and the east and west roads of Jiangnan!
As long as there is one person in every household who can wear cotton cloth, the profits can reach the sky.
So as a businessman, Xiao Yi's hands were so excited that he trembled, and his complaints about insufficient production capacity also came from this.
"This is not a complaint from Brother Yu. The entire Xingyuan and Fengxiang cotton weaving merchants all think this way: Yisong, you are the great ministers of the two palaces, you must not ignore this matter."
Gao Yue thought about it and said to Xiao Yi first: "It takes money to attack Huaixi Town."
At this time, Xiao Yi immediately patted his chest and whispered to Gao Yue: "Which merchant, in the years after Yisong, you have been in charge, has not been paid up to 100,000 guan? In the endless storage of Huguo Temple, millions of guans have been stored. As long as Yisong, you nod, you can borrow money and pay military pay."
Gao Yue smiled in his heart.
I would like to ask about the direction of history, who have you ever deceived?
