What people wear and what clothes, in Datang, there are a lot of particularities.

Especially as the Son of Heaven, there are clear regulations on how to make and wear dresses and regular clothes.

Needless to say, the large crown and crown worn on important occasions such as worshipping heaven and earth have detailed regulations in each place and cannot be modified at will.

Even if it is the most commonly used regular clothes, there is a lot of exquisiteness.

Old Tang Book. It is recorded in the "Public Opinion Journal" that "its regular clothes, red and yellow robes, folded turbans, nine-ring belts, and six-fold boots, all originated from Wei and Zhou, which is convenient for military affairs." Since the Zhenguan has been, the non-Yuan day, the winter solstice and the great sacrifice are often served. ”

The clothes given by Li Kuan obviously don't match the big crown and the crown, so it can only be a regular dress.

But this dress doesn't even have an open placket, how can you wear it?

"This Li Kuan, all of them are tossing around there, and they don't make people worry for a day!"

After reading Li Kuan's letter, Li Shimin also generally understood that the clothes in front of him were called woolen sweaters, whether they were worn inside to keep warm, or whether they were made of wool.

"It doesn't smell bad!" Li Shimin picked up the sweater, put it under his nose and took a deep breath, and there was no smell as he imagined.

"Someone, help me change my clothes!"

Li Shimin was interested in this sweater, Li Kuan actually sent a few sweaters to himself, it seemed to be very warm to the touch, and he didn't know how to wear it.

Although there is a honeycomb coal stove in the imperial study for heating, Li Shimin still wears very thick clothes.

There is no way, the warmth of silk products is really worrying, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a fur jacket on the outside, Li Shimin felt that it would not be warm to light two more honeycomb coal stoves.

Under the service of the palace maid, after a while, Li Shimin put on a woolen sweater and woolen pants all over his body, and then continued to put on his original clothes.

"This woolen sweater seems to be quite warm."

Li Shimin shrunk his hands and feet, feeling that his clothes fit well, and his whole body immediately became warm.

"Your Majesty, they have arrived!"

At this moment, the voice of the personal eunuch Lan He rang out.

"Let a few Aiqing in."

It has been particularly cold these days, and it has snowed heavily today, Li Shimin specially summoned Fang Xuanling, Dai Guan, eldest grandson Wuji and other important ministers of the court to the palace to discuss things and see how to deal with this cold winter.

Are there any homeless people outside the city, are there any poor people in the city who have frozen to death and frostbite, and have their houses collapsed by snow?

Anyway, judging from the past situation, the weather is so cold, and there is a succession of heavy snowfall, Chang'an City must have a lot of things to deal with.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

After a brief salute by several ministers, Li Shimin asked them to sit down.

Today is not a formal occasion, so there is not so much elaboration.

Li Shimin: "The snow outside is already half a foot thick, right?" It's just too cold these days. ”

"The snow on the street is only half a foot thick, but in some places where no one is clearing, the snow is more than a foot thick." Fang Xuanling probably guessed the topic that Li Shimin wanted to discuss today, "Judging from the situation reported by the county magistrate of Chang'an County, the impact of these snowstorms is still very great, and many houses in Nancheng have been crushed by snow. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to Qin Tianjian, the weather will be colder for some time to come, especially when the snow melts, it will be colder than snow. ”

Dai Xuan had a sad face, as the head of the household, he has been very busy recently, and all the yamen are looking for things and clothes from the household.

Where did the household get so many warm clothes?

"Your Majesty, I heard that the price of linen in the West Market has more than doubled, and those originally expensive furs have almost been sold out, but everyone who has a little money at home is buying warm clothes." The eldest grandson Wuji also added on the side.

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to impeach Fan Yang Lu's family, not only hoarding Juqi and driving up prices, but also taking advantage of people's danger to bully those small cloth shops." Wei Zheng has always been a comparative, and today is no exception.

Fanyang linen shop is the largest linen shop in the West Market, and even in Chang'an City, during this time, the price of linen cloth has been rising, and they have nothing to do with it, Wei Zheng sees this very clearly.

"Wei Gong's words are wrong!" Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up, "This winter is colder than in previous years, and the people's demand for linen has increased, and the price has naturally risen, what does it have to do with Fanyang linen shop?" The price of honeycomb coal in the West Market has also increased by 10% compared with the price at the beginning of the year, why don't you impeach His Royal Highness the King of Chu? ”

Lu Kuan is a disciple of the Fan Yang Lu family, and at this time, it is natural that the interests of the family are first considered, not the Tang Dynasty.

"Hmph, Lu Shangshu! Honeycomb coal has only risen by one percent, but what about linen? It's doubled, and sometimes it's not in stock? Why is that? ”

Since Wei Zheng even dared to contradict Li Shimin, he was naturally not afraid of a Ministry of Rites.

"The way of businessmen naturally has their own rules of operation. Is it also wrong that there is no goods in people's shops? Who could have predicted that this winter would be so cold this year? ”

Although Lu Kuan didn't know that Fan Yang's linen shop had hoarded a large amount of linen cloth and waited for it to be sold when the price was higher, even if he knew, he would definitely stand up and support it.

Why was he able to become a secretary of the Ministry of Rites?

It is not for nothing that there are people in the court who are more suitable for this position than themselves, and it is not because they are the children of the Fan Yang Lu clan.

"What is the way of a businessman, it is clearly a hoarding ......"

"Enough! I didn't call you here to listen to your quarrels! Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and Lu Kuan with a gloomy face, neither of these two people did he like.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to ensure that the common people can buy enough warm clothes, otherwise everyone can only stay at home, and there will not even be a merchant on the street, so sooner or later there will be problems."

Fang Xuanling is not a prime minister who does not eat fireworks in the world, he knows very well how much impact it will have on a city if everyone can't go out.

Not to mention the rest, that is, those merchants who originally sold goods on the street are afraid to go to the street, how can ordinary people buy things?

Many people buy food several times a month, and then buy it after eating, and do not hoard a lot; There's some meat or anything else that's pretty much the same.

If every family in Chang'an City can't go out, it will immediately become a dead city.

Is that worth it?

"Fang Gong, this common people are nested at home, the main problem is that there are too few warm clothes, as long as there is nothing to do, they can try not to go out as much as possible. There's no way around it. "There's no solution either.

"Let the people have food and clothing, this is the promise I made to the people of the world when I ascended the throne. Now it's just a few heavy snowfalls, and the people are forced to not even dare to go out of the gate? I'm ashamed of the world! ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Fang Xuanling and the others immediately couldn't sit still, and they all stood up and bowed their heads, "Weichen is dead!" ”

"Hey, don't blame everyone Aiqing, sit down." Li Shimin sighed, and then unconsciously twisted his body, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Pass on the Imperial Doctor, go and pass on the Imperial Doctor!" Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in the top seat, was the first to discover that Li Shimin was wrong.

In the middle of winter, why is Your Majesty's face flushed and his forehead covered with sweat?

Your Majesty, what's going on?
