Ji Yun ordered her maid to bring the sketch she had drawn.
He explained his ideas in detail to Wei Yunlan.
If it were a woman nowadays, upon hearing about such matters, she would most likely blush and be too embarrassed to talk about it.
But Wei Yunlan is obviously not an ordinary woman.
Since Ji Yun openly showed her the sketch and explained it to her, she also openly listened and discussed with him.
The cotton that Ji Yun wanted was not the kapok in the southern part of Dayong, but the cotton that grew in large quantities in the area north of Suizhou.
Ji Yun described it this way: "This type of cotton has long fibers, a soft texture, good water absorption and skin-friendliness, making it the most suitable material."
Wei Yunlan didn’t know what “long fiber” meant, but he could understand from her description that what she wanted was the cotton that grew in large quantities in Dayong Suizhou.
Previously, when the earth dragon turned over and Suizhou and other states suffered disasters, Wei Yunlan took advantage of the low price and bought a small batch in the space.
Now there is still a part of it stored in space.
"We brought some cotton with us on this trip. Your Majesty, please send my maid back to her residence to get it."
"That couldn't be better!" Ji Yun was overjoyed when she heard that, and immediately sent a useful female official to personally escort Suihe back to her residence.
The cotton harvested from Suizhou is naturally in Wei Yunlan's space.
However, through the black cloud, a few flowers could be sent to the bag she left at her residence. She had packed several bags with her, and no one except herself knew what was in the bags.
"The silk and porcelain that Miss Wei brought out a few days ago are also very exquisite. Although I am not interested in them, many people in the capital are interested in them. Miss Wei can also transport these two items to Qimeng and trade for some specialties of Qimeng."
Ji Yun asked, "I wonder if there is anything in Qimeng or among the twenty or so countries in the northwest that Miss Wei would like?"
"Of course there are." Wei Yunlan said frankly, "The day before yesterday, Prince Anlu took me to visit the Baicao Garden in the west of the capital, and I saw several crops there that are not available in Dayong. They do not require high soil and planting environment, but the yield per mu is very amazing. I want to bring these crops back to Dayong."
"Miss Wei, you are talking about sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes and sweet wheat, right?" Ji Yun said clearly.
"That's right. This time when I go back, I want to bring more of these crops, especially potatoes."
Wei Yunlan originally planned to take a detour and go to Kagge, as mentioned by the old farmer in Baicao Garden. If he could cooperate with Ji Yun, he could save some trouble when conducting large transactions.
Maybe I can start the return journey earlier, as agreed, and return to Beiguan before spring comes and flowers bloom.
As they were talking, Suihe, who had returned to his residence to get cotton, had already returned to the palace.
Take the cotton brought back by Suihe.
Ji Yun was overjoyed, "Yes, this is what I want!"
Cotton has many uses, not only for making what she wants, suitable for women's menstrual use.
Introducing this crop into Qimeng will bring only benefits and no harm.
However, it takes a long time from planting to harvesting cotton. In addition to seeds, it would be best to trade a batch of ready-made cotton in the first transaction.
This coincides with Wei Yunlan's idea.
In addition to seeds, she also wanted to stockpile a supply of ready-made food.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Yunlan said, "Queen, give me twenty days. After twenty days, we will conduct the first transaction fifty miles southeast of Shahe City in Mosan Country."
"I will exchange ten cartloads of cotton for ten hectares of sweet potatoes, yams and barley seeds."
Ji Yun did not ask Wei Yunlan how he could get ten carts of cotton within twenty days. She just nodded and smiled, "It's a deal."
After saying that, he took off a token from his waist and handed it to Wei Yunlan.
"This is my token. With this token, you can travel freely between Qimeng and Luosha. The other northwestern countries will also give you some face."
Wei Yunlan needs exactly this thing.
He did not refuse, and after putting it away carefully, he once again solemnly thanked Ji Yun.
…
Leave the palace.
In the residence, Zou Yun and others were waiting for Wei Yunlan to come back.
Wei Yunlan left in the early morning and did not return to his residence until noon when the sun was at its highest.
Seeing Wei Yunlan and Suihe getting off the carriage, Zou Yun and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that they are judging others by their own standards and suspect that Ji Yun will do anything bad to Wei Yunlan.
There have been a lot of things happening in the capital these past two days. Even Duke Bourne, one of the four great dukes, rebelled. This shows that the capital of Qimeng is not that safe!
Wei Yunlan told Ji Yun what he had discussed with her today.
"On the 20th, she will send someone to deliver the two types of medicine I need to the route we must take on our return journey."
But in addition to seeds, Wei Yunlan also needs a lot of soil and ripe fruits. For these things, she still plans to go to the potato production area in person. Now that she has the token given by Ji Yun, it is more convenient to travel in Qimeng Country than before.
"Then let's take a break today and set off tomorrow?"
Zou Yun spread out the map.
As everyone discussed the route, the flowered cloth covering the bamboo basket nearby was quietly pushed aside, and then a gray head with two tufts of yellow hair poked out from it.
Imitating what Zou Yun and the others had just said, he kept repeating "set off" and "set off".
"I almost forgot about it."
"Miss Wei, are we going to take this parrot back to Dayong as well?"
Wei Yunlan's gaze fell on the little parrot that crawled out of the basket and tried hard to make its presence felt.
Coincidentally, some of the news she heard when she entered the palace today happened to be related to this parrot.
"This parrot was originally intended by the envoy of Yanzhao Kingdom to be a birthday gift for Queen Qimeng."
"Huh?" Chen Yan had already heard about the farce at the birthday party, and immediately asked curiously: "Then... where are the pair of white tigers who committed the crime?"
"This parrot was raised by an exotic pet merchant from Yanzhao Kingdom for nearly a year. In order to win the favor of Queen Qimeng, it learned a lot of flattering words in Rakshasa language. It was because it ran away that the envoys of Yanzhao Kingdom specially found a pair of white tigers to replace it."
If the parrot hadn't disappeared.
The one who performs on the stage in Yan Zhao Kingdom would not be a ferocious beast like the white tiger.
Naturally, the elaborate and exciting scene at the birthday party would not be possible. However, without the White Tiger, perhaps, Duke Bourne and the envoys of Luoyang Kingdom would take action on other matters, or continue to lie in wait for a better opportunity.
In this case, it is never a bad thing to expose it early.
At least this time they escaped danger without incident. If they wait until next time and Duke Bourne and Luoyang Kingdom are better prepared, they may not be as lucky as this time and escape danger.
"By the way, the pair of white tiger queens have also been delivered."
Wei Yunlan glanced at the sun and said, "It should be delivered by now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tiger roar was heard outside.
The parrot, which was originally heading to stand on Wei Yunlan's shoulder, trembled its wings twice when it heard the words and almost fell from the sky.
