Li Shimin

Chapter 212

After the morning court, all the ministers were talking excitedly.

The Twelve Guards Generals, Hong Luqing, Sinongqing, and a group of military generals and princes all surrounded the palace gate with Shangshu Duan Lun and Shaofu Supervisor Zheng Ye.

"Shaofu Supervisor, is what His Majesty said true? The speed of iron and steel smelting in your Shaofu Supervisor's smelting department has increased by more than ten times?"

"Ministry of Industry, has the Ministry of Industry already stockpiled a large amount of pig iron and refined steel?"

"Everyone also knows that in two months, it will be the time of spring plowing, and the Quyuanli improved by His Royal Highness King Jin still needs a lot of forging!"

"Si Nongqing's words are also reasonable, but the old man remembers that at the court meeting a few days ago, Si Nongqing also said that the Quyuan plows used by farmers in Guanzhong are almost ready..."

"Exactly, let me tell you, that Turkic bastard has always been uneasy and kind, why don't you give the military supervisor some more refined steel and pig iron, and forge a batch of armor and steel knives for us and the twelve guards to fight..."

"Zheng Shaofu, I wonder how many catties of fine steel and pig iron you have smelted?"

"Such a good thing, Zheng Shaofu and the Duan Ministry of Industry have hidden it so tightly. Thanks to the old man and others, I have always thought that the stock of pig iron and refined steel in the Shaofu Supervisor and the Ministry of Industry is lacking. It really chills me..."

"Everyone, don't force me to wait!"

Duan Lun and Zheng Ye smiled wryly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you all, but that the refined steel and pig iron that were smelted have been assigned to the Military Weapons Supervisor by His Majesty!"

"Straight mother thief, the old man said, why during this period of time, the horizontal knives in the hands of the imperial guards at the gate of the palace seem to have changed. This is a horizontal knife made of fine steel!"

"Hey, since the imperial guards have been changed, can't I wait for the twelve guards to change the ordnance?"

After saying that, all the old killers remembered something, and hurriedly ran towards the guards at the gate of the city.

"Duke Lu, I don't know what's the point of calling a villain?"

"What you hold in your hand is a horizontal knife forged from fine steel?"

"This……"

"What is the ink stain, take it over to the old man and have a look!"

"Exactly, in broad daylight, how could the old man and others snatch your weapons?"

"Tsk, what a treasure, little bastard, I changed to such a good weapon, so I didn't tell the old man earlier!"

"Great generals..."

All the imperial guards, looking at the group of veteran assassins in front of them, couldn't help but feel nervous all over their bodies, for fear that these veteran assassins would run away with the weapons of themselves and others.

"Also, what are those green ones in your hands?"

"Back to you generals, it's gloves!"

"What are gloves?"

"Bring it here, old man, take a look?"

"This……"

"Huh? Why, the old man can't take a look at it? Is it okay, the old man can find Zhang Wu'an and transfer you to the old man's left guard?"

"Duke Lu, please take a look!"

The guards were startled, took off their gloves and handed them to Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others.

"But it's put on the palm like this?"

Zhang Liang put the gloves into his hands according to the movement of the forbidden army just now.

Immediately, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but hastily turned around, looking at Hou Junji and Duan Zhixuan who were at the side.

Sure enough, they all saw the astonishment in the eyes of several people.

"Wearing this kind of gloves, do your hands get cold every day?"

"Back to the general, the villain is wearing woolen gloves, standing at the palace gate for a whole day, his hands won't feel too cold!"

"This thing is really the treasure of our generals!"

"Hey, this thing is actually made of wool. Tell the old man what kind of treasures you have on your body!"

"Back to General Zhang, we are still wearing woolen clothes!"

"On the body?"

"Exactly!"

Saying that, the forbidden soldier quickly untied the armor on his body, revealing his bright red sweater.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others directly touched it with their hands, and some dishonest hands even tugged and pulled it.

Thick and fluffy, but no smell at all.

Can't help asking: "Is this woolen clothing warm?"

"Back to all the generals, it's very warm!"

The Forbidden Army replied with a happy face.

"Good treasure!"

Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they touched it a few times reluctantly.

Immediately, he looked at the Forbidden Army again.

"What other treasures?"

The imperial guard was stunned, and quickly replied: "I report to the generals, it's gone!"

"Really gone?"

Zhang Liang glared angrily and said threateningly.

"It's gone!"

The imperial guard shrank his neck subconsciously.

"Hmph, return the gloves and the knife to you!"

Seeing this, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then said with a stern face, "The old man and others will go to find your majesty, if they know that you have hidden good things, don't tell the old man and others." People, be careful when the old man comes out to clean up you!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the palace.

Seeing this, all the imperial guards couldn't help but look bitter. Now that these generals don't need to deal with them, General Zhang will deal with them first.

Not to mention here, after Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and other senior killers turned around and entered the palace gate, everyone's expression suddenly changed into a look of joy.

He grinned all the way, but never closed it.

……

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great joy!"

"His Majesty……"

After coming down to court, Li Shimin, who had just returned to the Liangyi Hall, hadn't finished his cup of tea yet.

Then I heard several cheery shouts coming from outside the hall.

Immediately, I saw that a group of twelve guard generals, as well as some court generals, walked in quickly with joyful faces.

Li Shimin was taken aback, and asked curiously.

"I don't know what is the happy event for you?"

"Return to Your Majesty, we have discovered a treasure that can prevent my Tang officers and soldiers from frostbite in winter!"

Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others clasped their hands together and said.

"Oh?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he asked, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is a kind of green woolen gloves and red woolen clothes. Wearing them on the body, soldiers will not be cold if they stand outside for a day in winter. The most important thing is that these woolen clothes do not have any sheep smell!"

Hou Jun gathers the road.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and looked helplessly at the group of excited old killers for a while.

"Where did you see the objects you mentioned?"

"hey-hey!"

Hou Junji smiled embarrassedly, "Return to Your Majesty, I saw it on the imperial guards at the gate of the palace!"

"Humph!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said in a bad mood.

"Those woolen clothes were distributed by me!"

"What? Those clothes were sent by His Majesty?"

In an instant, Zhang Liang and Hou Jun gathered together, all of them were overjoyed.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, but there are still those clothes, the soldiers of Chenyou Wuhouwei, their hands and feet are bleeding from the cold these days!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, except for training, the guards on the right and left hide in the barracks every day. Just like this, their hands are bleeding from the cold..."

"His Majesty……"

"alright, alright!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin let out a long breath.

"A month ago, I didn't know how to get rid of the smell of wool. There are only a few thousand sets of woolen clothes that I can sew, and even the Imperial Army can't distribute them all. I can only give them to those on duty!
After the winter of this year, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be able to distribute woolen clothes! "

"It is so!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and the others couldn't help sighing softly, but there was nothing they could do.

"Your Majesty, what about the horizontal knife forged from fine steel?"

Afterwards, General Duan Zhixuan of Zuo Xiaowei asked again with an expectant face.

On the side, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and other generals also looked at Li Shimin expectantly.
