Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Shaken

The snow kept falling, half-dead, intermittent for two or three days, and the fine snow beads hit the ground, and the thin layer could not be retained, and it melted and remained.Since there is no heavy snow to block the road, going to work early in the middle of winter will become a problem. These days, military officials will be despised if they take a car, so they have to bear the cold and damp cold wind and let the snow slag fall on their faces. Tortured, every day when I get on the horse, I feel like I am devoting myself to the battlefield, life is worse than death.

Traveling through the cold wind, I buried my hands in my sleeves to hold the reins, but it was still freezing.As soon as I got home, the heat started to itch, and I couldn't help scratching with my hands. The red and swollen fingers were scratched, and yellow water leaked out, making it more itchy.

Ying held my hand and looked sorely, "Doctor Zhou said that soaking radish in water would be good, but it didn't help after soaking for a few days. It was only one finger a few days ago, but today I passed three." Wipe the radish water off his hands with a thick sackcloth, "I can't bear to pretend to be sick, and let the cold weather pass before I go to work."

"Nonsense." I had my ears frozen in school when I was a child, so I have experience. "It'll be fine in the beginning of spring, it's all right." He stretched out his palm and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.It's only been a few years back in ancient times, and even the way of thinking has degenerated. I raised it at home in the winter two years ago, and I didn't have this awareness. Now I only think of gloves when my hands are cold. It deserves it!

It's strange that this dynasty didn't have gloves. I saw that Cheng Cheng wore arm gloves when he first trained the eagles and kept them on his hands, but he went out in winter with bare hands.Now that we have cotton and cloth at home, it is so easy to make a big cloth bag with palms folded, and we can do it as soon as we say it.

Explain the details to Ying. It is the same as making cotton-padded clothes. A large cloth bag is made as a sandwich, and a cotton sleeve is evenly stuffed inside, and the thumb is exposed.Keep it simple, just make do with the cold weather first, and then talk about cooked leather mittens.

Although the craft of cooked leather has existed in our country since ancient times.You can make boots and leather armor. If you want gloves, the leather shops of several Hu merchants are the best. The secret and special craftsmanship outside the territory can make the leather as soft as cotton cloth, and it is like a second skin on your hands.If you want to get soft sheepskin gloves, you have to find a foreign merchant to buy leather, but the slender leather gloves look very stylish on your hands. Ying and the two girls make a good pair, so it doesn't matter if the men mess around.

"No need." Ying and the second daughter will be busy tomorrow, so we don't let them bother. Our family has a ready-made cotton spinning expert, "I'll go find Dalai."

"Don't want her!" Ying carefully controlled my clothes, "From head to toe, my concubine and my second daughter sewed them with my own hands, and I can't even get a lowly maid from Korea, so I don't care about my husband." Two ingenious ladies.According to my hand shape.The second woman made a liner out of silk and satin, stuffed it evenly with cotton, and then took the stitching to fix the cotton in the liner.Ying made a jacket with three layers of burlap, and sewed a circle of rabbit skin on the top.Stuff the inner liner made by the second daughter into it and pull it out. The inner and outer needles and threads have been stitched twice to ensure that the darning is firm.

It seems to me that the extremely huge project was completed smoothly in the hands of the two ladies, to be honest.It is better than what I bought in the mall in later generations. The handmade stitching is denser than the sewing machine. Especially the rabbit fur around the sleeves is tight and soft. It is decorative and windproof when connected to the wrist. The only color is too monotonous. The linen is white. The fur is also white, and the clasping gloves look a bit like polar bear paws.

"Make it for you two." I put on warm gloves, covered Ying's face, and went to the second girl's face to press, "Okay, it's comfortable, hehe. Sleep in a big quilt tonight," carefully pressed the gloves Under the pillow, he personally pulled the bedding of the three of them together. "Come on. Get warm together."

Wearing a glove early in the morning to show off to the world, Liu Rengui is a civil servant.However, according to Junburi's habit of riding a horse, he would heat his hands as soon as he got off the horse and rub them over and over again. "Oh?" Seeing that I was already doing morning exercises in the yard, I was surprised for a while, "Young Prison is the earliest today."

"Haha," smiled complacently, and exaggeratedly did two stretching exercises, stretching his arms, "Generally, I don't have the habit of sleeping late. I hear chickens and dance, and practice knife skills every day. I studied knowledge last night and forgot the time. I was afraid of getting up late in the morning." After Mao, come to the agricultural school first and then do morning exercises." He put on his gloves and pulled his waist knife for a while, dancing quickly, the cold light flickered, and the whistling wind, the martial arts movie is a masterpiece, you have to dance sideways, if during the period, you can fly around and dodge The explosion of gunpowder smoke is even more exciting.

Liu Rengui was forced back to the corner by my fierce saber aura, and he didn't see the way until I withdrew the saber. He shook his head in pain, distressed by his ignorance. "Young supervisor?" In order to cover up his shortcomings in martial arts, he took the initiative to bring the topic into my hands.

"Oh, little thing," he took off the gloves nonchalantly for Liu Rengui to look at.

"Well, it's finely made." After squeezing it, he put his hand inside and asked blankly, "Soft and warm, what's inside?"

"Cotton. There's some cotton stuffed in the interlayer."

"I've heard of this, but the thing that the Ministry of Industry and the young supervisor jointly made?" Liu Rengui searched for the glove over and over again. Ying and the second daughter were too skilled, so they didn't give Liu Rengui a chance to see the cotton.

"Hehe," I took the glove and stuffed it into my arms, looking at Liu Rengui's expression, there was a door.After the temperature cooled down, the quilts carefully prepared by the Wang family were given out for friendship, and anyone who was related to them was not spared. From my side, Li Shi, who had the smallest official position and unknown ability, was sent to Li Ji, the hero, and Ying was in the circle of noble ladies. The county lord, anyone who can talk will be given a gift, which has won a good reputation for the Wang family.Only this Liu Renguo is hard to take care of, clean flow, reciprocity doesn't work in his place, sending gifts directly to make it difficult for people to type out, it hurts the peace and loses face, so I dare not act rashly; if I don't give it away, I will swallow it again If you don't accept the gift, you don't give face to the royal family, if you don't give face to the royal family, you don't take me seriously, if you don't take me seriously, you look down on the earl who was entrusted by the emperor, you blaspheme the nobles, blaspheme the imperial power, and despise the royal law! "The trial planting of cotton this year is closely related to people's livelihood. There should be a record in agronomy, including the planting methods and species habits."

Liu Rengui smiled, "It's better not to interfere with the work of the Ministry of Industry and Agriculture."

"That is to say, but the Ministry of Industry is only promoting plans. Whether it can improve cotton production and disease resistance needs to be studied by agronomy personnel. Whether cotton can no longer be exclusive to the rich and nobles in the future is the same as linen. It’s the same as walking into people’s homes, and we have to rely on our agronomy to work together.” If he doesn’t get involved, he won’t be surnamed Wang, and he took the cotton bag from the window sill and handed it to Liu Rengui, and called the handyman to bring the pot of hot water. Make tea, "It's cold outside, go in and talk."

Liu Rengui put cotton on the case.Looking left and right, pinching and tearing, "What about the yield? Compared with silkworms?"

"Gao, when the farm work is done, it doesn't take special manpower to take care of it. There is no geographical restriction for silkworms, and they are resistant to cold and drought. If the planning is good, there is no need to occupy a large amount of grain fields." I got up and wrapped a small roll in my arms before weaving. The ground cotton cloth was placed in front of Liu Rengui. It’s not that difficult to produce.”

"Look." Liu Rengui unfolded the cotton cloth, looked at it against the light, rubbed and pulled it vigorously.Comparing it with the silk and satin on her body, she unfastened the loop and pulled out a corner of the linen jacket inside, tore it a few times, and then nodded in satisfaction. "Indeed, judging from the piece of cotton cloth in your hand, it is stronger than silk and linen, and much thicker. If it can be grown without encroaching on the grain field, it will be a blessing for the people of the world. If the glove alone is sent to the front, the cold weather will The combat effectiveness of the lieutenants can also be improved. Frostbite attrition will also be reduced.”

"The key is the issue of planting. Now Western Turkic has become a province of our country. It is dry and rainless, and the land is sparsely populated. It may be difficult to grow food. If drought-resistant crops such as cotton can be widely planted, it will indeed be a great blessing for me." He stood up and pointed to the area of ​​the Western Regions on the map, "Looking at the area alone, it is far larger than the sum of the important grain-producing areas of Guanzhong and Henan. It would be a pity to ignore such a large land resource. The imperial court has to spend a lot of money and food every year to appease If the local natives can find a place suitable for farming so that they can produce something, it will no longer be a burden to exchange the property with the court for daily necessities. Comparing the hatchback..."

"Perhaps what the young supervisor said makes sense." Liu Rengui interrupted the topic, "I understand what you mean. When you said that cotton is resistant to drought and cold, I thought about facing west. It's not always what the young supervisor thought. They are all under the unified management of the government, if cotton is better than silkworms. Putting such an important item in the hands of a group of barbarians. It is inevitable..."

It seems that Lao Liu is a pan-nationalist, and fundamentally did not understand the great strategic concept of the great helmsman Li Shimin and the Huayi family.According to him, even if the Han people can't get the land to grow cotton, they can't go to the ethnic minority areas to promote it, as long as those people can't die on the government's assistance, they don't have to live too comfortably. "Feeding," Lanling's theory of feeding must be thrown out, and Liu Rengui's prejudice must be fundamentally overthrown. "For this reason, if planting cotton and other crops can improve life, compared to grazing and wandering, starving, and naked, there is no need to worry about survival, and you don't have to fight desperately. War horses become field livestock; no need Hunting and plundering, the use of knives, guns, bows and arrows is no longer frequent, life with food and clothing, the descendants no longer imitate their ancestors to gallop on horses, have time and conditions to accept my dynasty's education, gradually get rid of wildness, and transform from mobs into good people and obedient people .

The more business and trade, the more frequent contact with us, the more exchanges and communication between nations, the faster the barriers between ethnic groups will be eliminated. Imagine the ratio of the number of people in our dynasty and the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions. After a hundred years of integration, what kind of barbarism is there? ?In order to ensure the trade with the customs, they will regard the trade routes as more important than their lives, and will spontaneously maintain the governance, which will reduce the burden of the imperial court's heavy troops to open up trade routes. As he said, he took down the map on the wall and spread it on the table, "Take Western Turkistan as the beginning, go west, go north, and even go east, there are more extensive places waiting for us to conquer.If we only regard the small area of ​​Western Turks as the end point, to defend, to suppress and cleanse, to resort to force for simple conquest, and to be stuck in this unproductive and hostile desert all year round, Datang will never Not as brilliant as it should be.

We have thousands of years of long-standing culture, our civilization is hundreds of years ahead of them, there are wise monarchs, brave soldiers, hardworking people, and officials with good morals and talents like school supervisors. All conquests by force are just the beginning. Fusion is the result.To give foreigners a sense of belonging, to make them think that they are Tang people the moment they close their eyes before they die, and that all honor and pride come from their own motherland.Live as a Datang person, die as a Datang ghost, and make sure that your soul will go to the underworld to meet the king of hell, not to meet the damn gods they believe in. "I was a little excited when I said it, it seems that I have already merged into the role, and Liu Rengui picked up the teacup in front of him casually and killed him.

"Oh..." Liu Rengui responded, and after glancing at me, he crawled on the map and meditated, without speaking for a long time.Follow the direction I pointed a little bit, "What is this?"

"It's a fallacy, haha." Seeing Liu Rengui finally raised his head to speak.Smiled, "It sounds very vague, but our ancestors have been doing this all the time. Since the pre-Qin period when China was unified, how many tyrannical alien races have merged into the big circle of the Chinese nation, although they haven't been specifically brought to the table to make a decision. The constitution, but it has been gradually invading outside, intentionally or unintentionally, for thousands of years. Among the many surnames, there are too many who belong to foreign races. Isn't it grandiose to become a citizen of our dynasty?" I didn't dare to give examples. There are too many people of foreign blood, including the Li family, and it is easy to cause trouble if you talk too carefully.

Liu Rengui looked at me carefully for a while, "The young prisoner has been thinking about this matter? I have learned your methods before entering Beijing. With this reputation and family prestige, now I am the commander of Zuo Wuwei's marching army, and I am right in front of me. No name and no role in the young prison. Hehe..."

"This...the family has the precepts of the ancestors. Being a long history has violated the system and is not filial. It doesn't matter if you don't mention the meritorious deeds. Now you can do everything you can for the country without violating the precepts of the ancestors. Identity," said with a sigh, trying to pretend to be plain. "You dude, hehe, maybe a well-clothed and well-fed person is more suitable for me. Love the country, and be loyal to the emperor and the people. It doesn't have to be said on the lips, and it doesn't have to be deliberately pretended to be a man of integrity for outsiders to see. Conscience, Just keep your conscience and remember it in your heart.”

Liu Rengui's complexion changed, and he probably thought the words were targeted, "Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, everyone has their own understanding and different ways of doing it. Maybe the young prisoner thinks he is more free and easy. You have the conditions and the ability to do so, but you can't Demanding that everyone is born with such a prominent status as you, and has been educated by celebrities and teachers since childhood. The poor people in the fields are exhausted all day long for their livelihoods; all civil and military officials perform their duties, and they cannot spend so much time studying these illusory things under official duties. "He said, shaking his head and laughing: "It's also reasonable, I will write down what the young prisoner said, and you will bring it up based on reason. I will also refute it point by point based on reason."

effective.At least he thinks what I said can be understood, which is progress.He smiled and said: "Just talking. The supervisor doesn't have to worry too much. Everything in the world has two sides. If you refute it, I will definitely not be your opponent."

"It's a debate based on facts. How can there be a victory or defeat?" Liu Rengui put away the cotton on the table and cupped his hands, "From the cotton to the expansion of the territory, but also to everything, the young prison is not an easy person. , Forgive Liu for being blind."

"Oh, that's right." I slapped my forehead, "I have seen the cotton samples, but I have to let you familiarize yourself with the specific effects. Whether it is better than silkworms, I can't say, you have to experience it yourself to know."

"Oh?"

"Nowadays, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce conducts an investigation on the effect of cotton trials. Dedicated volunteers are selected from farmers, businessmen, officials, and nobles to try cotton. During the trial period, the opinions and suggestions put forward by each user are recorded in detail. I have detailed information to improve cotton technology." He took out a user opinion form prepared last night from his pocket and handed it to Liu Rengui, "Take a look, if possible, as the highest leader of agronomy, the supervisor The suggestion is the most convincing, and if you can participate in the trial, it will be a blessing to the cotton industry and the people of the country."

Liu Rengui looked at the user opinion form carefully, nodded, "Yes."

The breakthrough belongs to the greatest achievement in my life in tackling key problems.Compared with the original bank staff, their social experience and abilities have improved greatly. They have dealt with each other before, but they have never had the experience of pulling down the big boss of the country's anti-corruption supervision work. Compared with the process of planting and promoting cotton, it gradually corrupted Mr. Liu People are harder and more fulfilling.

The Liu family's quilts had already been prepared, and as soon as they got home, they personally assigned competent people to take the name stickers from the palace and deliver them to them. There can be no more, only three beds, and the quality is guaranteed.

"You're so proud of yourself." Lan Ling took the quilted leather gloves I sent, put them on and looked at them, "It's just you, no one else can think of such a wicked way of bribery. It's right not to let you enter the court." Yes, for decades, the wind of integrity can mess with you alone, and sometimes you can't make up for it by chopping a hundred knives."

"What are you talking about? I'm not as villainous as you. I'm wicked. Don't forget that I'm doing things for you. I wouldn't have time to take care of you if I change them." Since Ying made cotton gloves for me, she suddenly became interested. I don’t know whose cooked leather shop they bought, and brought back dozens of sheepskins. They specially invited a few cobblers to follow the hands of the family members. They also asked Lan Ling for hand samples, cotton ones, quilted ones, Single-skinned, one person made a triple-double. "Seeing that your legs are in good shape, wearing leather pants will probably help." Lan Ling pulled the single leather glove over his wrist, if wearing leather pants, there is a bit of lewdness in his eyes, find a leather whip and turn around a few times , it must be very popular when it is made into a CD.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but it's definitely not a good thing to look at your eyes!" Lan Ling was very satisfied with the visual effect brought by the gloves, and made a fist and feinted at me a few times, "Bad guy!"

"Chupi, I have to admit that we are not as good as others with beards. We are far behind. In the future, how about a pair of leather gloves for each frontline soldier? Especially in cold weather, right?"

"What are you thinking?" Lan Ling looked at me with a smile, "Planning to..."

"Well, those bearded ghosts are very ugly, think of a way. If our own craftsmanship can reach the level of the gloves you wear, we can't just come up with gloves."

"Leave it to me?" Lan Ling showed the usual smirk on my face, "What's this called?"

"The husband sings and the wife follows."

"Will you hurt the world?"

"Look." Taking the bronze mirror, Lan Ling pressed his face together, "Do you look like us? The two of us."

"Oh?"

"Like a husband and wife, there is only love."

Cooperating with the imperial government's policy, he led Wangcai, Zhenbi and other pet dogs to enforce the rabies vaccination in the cold wind.The imperial government's policy of benefiting the people, but Xiaomin is unclear about one thing, the vaccine that was injected only in the middle of next year, why must it be repeated at the end of the year?Could it be that my country has become so fraternal that it wants to include dogs in policies that benefit the people such as medical insurance and pension benefits?It seems that in the future, dogs will also have a lot of social security funds that can be invested in the housing market and stock market. Long live the taxpayers!
