God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 576

thump thump...

When Li Shimin took Empress Changsun, Liu Hongji and others outside the East Palace, there was a sound from the East Palace.

Listen to this sound, like the sound of a musical instrument.

Li Shimin frowned, what's going on here.

At the same time, everyone also looks at me and I look at you, without knowing why.

"This prince is still singing and dancing in the East Palace! Playing with things and losing one's ambition! Really playing with things and losing one's ambition!"

Liu Hongji said bluntly.

The speaker has a heart, and the listener is even more angry.

"That's brilliant, I just let him be the secretary. It's only been a while, and I know how to enjoy myself. I'm really mad!"

Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, the so-called seeing is believing, it may be too early to conclude that Gao Ming is enjoying himself based on this voice."

"Hmph, then I have to go and see!"

Li Shimin may not believe Li Chengqian anymore, because Liu Hongji has been talking by the side.

The emperor was most afraid of people like Liu Hongji, and so were all the treacherous officials from generation to generation.Their actions directly blinded Sheng Hearing.Some even lost their lives for a word of theirs.

Empress Changsun wanted to say something else.

Li Shimin had already entered the East Palace.

And his actions startled Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi.

"Queen, brother, he..."

"Gao Ming is not such a person, Li Zhi, follow me in."

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

The two entered the East Palace one after the other.

As soon as he entered it, the regular voice became louder and louder.

But I could see people coming and going in the East Palace.

There are also people who carry something like a harp on their backs, but with only one string. There are quite a few of these people, coming and going.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is actually having a carnival here! And let so many people do this."

As soon as Liu Hongji said that, Li Chengqian also saw Li Shimin coming.

Then he yelled: "Everyone take a break!"

After that, the entire East Palace became quiet.

Li Chengqian glanced at the visitors and thought, what's going on, why are they all here.

"My son has seen His Majesty!"

As soon as Li Chengqian came, he paid courtesy to Li Shimin.

"Gao Ming, what are you doing, explain to me!"

Li Shimin's complexion was not good.

But Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Hongji, thinking that this guy must be the one to do it.

Before Li Chengqian could speak, Empress Changsun also came here.

"This...Gao Ming, what's going on?"

Seeing the snow-white everywhere, Empress Changsun was also puzzled.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, my son is doing a great thing."

Li Chengqian didn't say what happened.

But Empress Changsun seemed to remember what Li Chengqian said that day.

"His Royal Highness is very interested. Where did these musical instruments come from? Why do they sound so crisp and pleasant?"

Liu Hongji said suddenly.

"Duke Kui, which eye of yours has seen this musical instrument?"

"Isn't this a musical instrument? And what are those cottons falling all over the sky, what are they doing? Is it imitating snowflakes?"

Li Chengqian gave Liu Hongji a blank look, and he had already scolded him thousands of times in his heart.

"Duke Kui, if you don't understand, you should talk less and read more. If you make irresponsible remarks before you reach a conclusion, it seems that you are ignorant! Do you know? This is playing cotton!"

Li Chengqian didn't care about Liu Hongji's face, and said directly.

Cotton plucking is an old craft. At first it consisted of a curved slingshot, a millstone, a plucking paddle and a gauze strip.The structure of the hanging bow is very simple. When playing the bow, it is all done by hand with a popping hammer to hit the bowstring to loosen the cotton fibers. Each person can only play 8 catties of lint per day.The method of inheritance is also from the master to the apprentice or from the father to the son, so the craftsmanship of many playing gardeners is passed down from their ancestors.

Yuan Dynasty Wang Zhen's "Nongshu·Nongqi·Xuxumen" contains: "At that time, cotton slingshots were used to play cotton, made of bamboo, and about four feet long; two ends were tightened with strings, and county bows were used to play lint." When did the Wenzhou area begin to wait for the test.In the old days, many poor farmers and craftsmen in rural areas were forced by life to pluck cotton wool for others all year round, commonly known as "cotton pluckers".

Everyone waited to see this thing, and shouted at the same time: "Picking cotton?"

"I've heard of playing the pipa and the qin, but I've never heard of playing cotton!"

Li Shimin said so.

For this emerging word, everyone is wondering what it is and what it is!

Having said that, for cotton, they are still at a primary stage, and they even regard it as an ornamental flower, instead of using its characteristics to exert its full value.

If cotton can be promoted, it will be the luck of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness, this is incomprehensible, but what we hear is something like music."

Li Chengqian gave Liu Hongji another look.

He said directly: "Duke Kui, do you not believe this king? Why, you have to question what this king says?"

"His Royal Highness, the minister is also curious, please don't blame the minister, His Royal Highness."

"Hmph! You won't believe me if I don't get something out of it."

Li Chengqian looked around and found that Li Lizhi was also there.

No matter what, Li Shimin still didn't believe it, because the current situation can be said to be not convincing at all.

"Lizhi, come here for a while, I made you a dress for my brother."

At this time Li Chengqian greeted Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi was very close to this brother, so he trotted over without even thinking about it.

At this time, Empress Changsun suddenly said:

"Could it be a cotton coat?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, that's it! It's clothes made of cotton. It's called cotton clothes!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin asked:

"What is a padded coat? Maid Guanyin, do you know about this?"

Empress Changsun explained:
"A while ago, Li Zhi was wearing fur, which irritated her skin very much. Gao Ming said that she was going to invent something called a cotton padded jacket, but I didn't realize that the padded jacket is related to cotton."

She suddenly realized that this was the case.

"Clothes made of cotton can be worn? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Li Shimin asked, in his opinion, how could this cotton be made into clothes?

How can I wear it?In their opinion, this flower is a flower, and the clothes are clothes, and they are two different things.

This is because their knowledge is not enough, and they have not seen it.

Liu Hongji said: "I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen that cotton can be used to make clothes!"

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian dare not hate him, but for Liu Hongji, he can beat him to pieces.So he said:
"Duke Kui, there are still many things you don't know! If you don't understand, talk less and read more! It's good for you!"

Liu Hongji: ...

"I also ask His Royal Highness to enlighten me!"

After all, Liu Hongji was an old fox, so he realized it all at once.

"Hmph! At that moment, you have to take a good look at how the clothes came out!"
