Chapter 817

Li Ji asked there if it was expensive, and Li Shimin was a little surprised when he heard him say that it was hot.

"Hot?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ji and asked.

"Well, it's a little, when I first wore it, I didn't feel it, but after moving it, I felt hot, these clothes are good, and it's very warm to wear!" Li Ji nodded and said.

"It's worth 23 yuan a set, is it okay?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ji and asked.

"It's not cheap, of course it's okay, but isn't it true? Pepin, you made it again? Li Ji turned his head to look at Qin Huaidao next to him and asked.

"Well, I made it, but just now my father said it wrong, I forgot to say it just now, 23 yuan, and add a set of quilts, which are used for sleeping at night, if you are marching or resting in the field, the soldiers can also put the quilts on their bodies, but this thing is afraid of water, once it absorbs water, it is not easy to dry!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said to Li Ji.

"Good thing, is it so cheap? Your Majesty, the troops of that division don't need much money, but three or four hundred yuan, our military headquarters still has it, by the way, what is this thing made of? Li Ji said very happily, and then wanted to know what it was made of.

"Cotton!" Qin Huaidao immediately replied.

"Cotton? The ones you grow in your family? Li Ji looked at Qin Huaidao in shock and asked.

"Yes, I am ready to donate 300,000 sets to the army, even if the money is counted, there is not much money, just hope that our troops can also carry out training in the winter, because of our enemies. Mainly from the north, if they come to attack in winter, our troops are poorly trained, plus there are not enough supplies to protect against the cold, then it will be troublesome. Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Ji.

"Okay, good, great, Your Majesty, this matter should be fast, the minister is still worried, if we drag out the war to winter on the Goryeo side next year, what can we do then, the map of Goryeo is now clear, there are many mountains, and the weather over there is very cold, after all, it is not on the plains, our soldiers can quickly find those enemies, if they touch it at night, we will suffer a big loss, if there are cold materials, then we are not afraid!" Li Ji said to Li Shimin very excitedly.

"Okay, okay, Pepin, 300,000 sets, how long will it take?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.

"This, we have cotton, but there are not so many workers, so I thought, is the Ministry of War calling a group of people to do this, or rather, our Ministry of Industry is calling people to do it, and this horseshoe?" Qin Huaidao looked at the two of them as he spoke.

"Yes. Do it in large quantities! Peping, this time, you have a great merit again, my father really didn't expect that you would be able to get so many good things out of the barracks for a day, I knew that I should have let you go to the capital a long time ago, the military department and Peping discussed and discussed, with the fastest speed, these things are done, and then sent to the troops below! Li Shimin said very happily that with this, it can improve the combat effectiveness of the army!

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do it as soon as possible!" Li Ji said very happily, while Li Shimin went to the three soldiers and asked them if they were cold.

"It's not cold, it's still very comfortable, anyway, it's much more comfortable than we wear our own clothes, this thing is really warm, if our troops wear this, then what are you afraid of cold?" One of them said very happily.

"Okay, okay, I'll be able to put it on soon!" Li Shimin said happily, and then took Qin Huaidao and they went to Chengtian Palace, Li Ji also changed into his own clothes, and these cotton clothes were handed over to the Ministry of War, so that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry could hurry up and do it, and Qin Huaidao also handed over the drawings to Li Shimin.

"Father, I will hand over the drawings of the horseshoe and give it to the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War will hand it over to our Ministry of Industry to do, how about it?" Qin Huaidao asked at them.

"Well, sit down, sit down!" Li Shimin happily pulled Qin Huaidao to sit down, he was happy today, he never dreamed that he could solve the problem like this, he didn't think about solving the cold materials before, according to their ideas, as long as they don't freeze to death in the tent, that's fine,

But now that Qin Huaidao's cotton has come out, then the troops can continue to improve their combat effectiveness, and the horseshoe has come out, which has also significantly improved the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

"Pepin, what do you want? By the way, it's not easy to convince Xian'er to donate, right? Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"I didn't sleep all night last night, so did Xian'er, Xian'er knew to donate, but I just felt distressed when I thought about it, so much money was gone, and when I thought of the unhappy place, he kicked me, this night, I didn't close my eyes, but my father, Xian'er agreed, it's just a little distressed!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"This child, haha, is still sensible, and it is normal to feel distressed, but the father will not take it for nothing, how can he take such money from his daughter for nothing, if he gives a little to his father, the father will take it, so much, the father does not dare to take it, so let's do it, their cost price is 23 yuan, you can add 10 yuan, as the purchase price! Luckily? Li Shimin said to Li Ji with a smile.

"Yes, no problem, this money, our military department can still take it out, the key is to solve the big problem of our military department, with these cold materials, I believe that our troops will not be our opponents in the face of the northern attack in the future." Li Ji nodded affirmatively and said.

"Cotton, horseshoe, you boy, what will your father reward you again? Land for you? Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"No, what's the reward for this, a little thing, it's not worth mentioning!" Qin Huaidao immediately waved his hand and said.

"This is not a trivial thing, Pepin, the soldiers on this side of the army know that you made it, I don't know how happy they are, otherwise, the old man would not have gone on in person today." Li Ji immediately said to Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, but it's not that serious, father, do you remember, in the first half of the year, those people impeached me, saying that I didn't grow food, and Erchen said that these cotton are now more important than food, but they can be used as cold materials, Erchen was thinking about equipping the army with these cotton clothes and quilts, and now you want to reward Erchen, how dare you accept it? Father, you don't need a reward, it's still the same sentence, you just take your sons to war! Qin Huaidao smiled and explained to Li Shimin.

"Well, what do they know? What do they know what you're doing there? Just know the immediate benefits! Li Shimin heard it, and said with a little dissatisfaction, Li Shimin was clear about the impeachment in the first half of the year, and Qin Huaidao was also fined.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say, and I think the matter of the Ministry of Industry needs to be held accountable!" At this time, Li Ji sat there and spoke.

"Accountability?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ji a little incomprehensibly and asked.

"Of course, Peping was originally a matter that could be solved by 120,000 guan, and they had already negotiated it, but it took 600,000 guan to solve the problem, how could there be such a thing, those officials were impeached if they had nothing to do, and they were impeached if they had nothing to do, and those officials of the Ministry of Industry, in all fairness, they really had no idleness, and it could be said that it was the money-making department of the court, and they were bent on making money for the court.

This time they were so impeached, who they were, they all have tempers, so many ministers were there before, and it was inconvenient for the ministers to say, but now, the ministers want to say that the ministers often have to go to various places to inspect military affairs, and the people in the north are very respectful to the officials of the Ministry of Industry, really very respectful, they are all grateful to the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and thank you, Your Majesty,

Why? It's because they have done practical things for the people, and those civil officials in the court know that they are red-eyed, staring at this, impeaching that, let's just say Pepin, how many impeachments do you say he has received? This is also Peping, if it were someone else, he would have stopped doing it a long time ago, as far as Peping's ability is concerned, can he still lack that little bit of money at home? Li Ji sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Father, the emperor has nothing else, just those impeached officials, how much to warn, they are tantamount to ruining the court's affairs!" Qin Huaidao also said to Li Shimin.

"Don't you say that I have forgotten about this matter, impeachment and impeachment, impeachment of hundreds of thousands of yuan, enough to support those officials in the court!" Li Shimin was also very unhappy at the moment.

"This matter, no matter what, still needs to give an honorary explanation to the Ministry of Industry, how can you do such a thing?" Li Ji also spoke beside him, and Li Shimin nodded: "I will consider this matter, and I will let them do it, it's not like that!" Pepin, the matter of cotton must be grasped quickly, if there are any good things in the future, send them to the palace, my father wants to see, by the way, when the quilts and cotton clothes come down, the third division will be the first to take it, and the third division will be equipped before it can continue to equip other troops, this is Peping's made, this advantage still has to be there! ”

"Yes, then I'll go to my cloth workshop now and weigh out the cotton, and then the military department will hurry up and get it, and our ministry will also assist!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said,

In the next few days, Qin Huaidao was busy with this matter, and many women in Chang'an City were asked to work, let them sew those cotton clothes and pants, and the quilt side was still handed over to Qin Huaidao's workshop to do, however, the quilt used by the soldiers is not that big, and a little smaller is longer, so it is also fast to do.

Qin Huaidao's workshop, there are more than 200 cotton craftsmen, who can make 400 beds every day, in order to expand production, Li Lixian transferred 1,000 men from Zhuangzi to learn this cotton, so that they can speed up the production of this thing! And the Ministry of Industry has also begun to send people to learn!
