When all the trainees were sweating profusely, the instructors told them to dry themselves and then change into clean clothes. Then each dormitory sent a few more people to the cafeteria to receive the ginger soup. Each dormitory has a big bucket, absolutely full.

Liu Hao himself changed his clothes and sat by the window drinking ginger soup. When the weather is fine, I don't feel cold, but when it rains and the breeze blows, Liu Hao feels cold.

Gao Shi was also holding the bowl and sucking, he and Liu Hao added sugar to the ginger soup, and it tasted very smooth.

Liu Hao saw that the rain outside was light, so he said to Gao Shi: "Inform them to go to dinner, it can't be done in the afternoon, let the instructors take indoor activities." ”

Gao Shi nodded, and then went to the door to convey Liu Hao's order to the guards.

Liu Hao sighed: "The autumn rain is continuous, this rain will be endless, and it may not stop for ten days and a half months, but Xinxiang can't wait." If these people don't go through some training, not to mention that General Li is not at ease, we will not have a light on our faces. The dignified military academy is actually indiscriminate, and it doesn't make people laugh out of their big teeth when they say it! ”

Gao Shi nodded and said, "I really have to find a way to let the training begin, otherwise in a month, they won't even be able to reach the most basic training." Is there any good way to do it? ”

Liu Hao shrugged: "What can I do, can't I make a super large umbrella to cover the school grounds, right?" Let's go, let's go eat too. ”

After coming to the cafeteria, it was so crowded that I couldn't squeeze in at all.

Gao Shi sighed: "At that time, I thought that this canteen was already very big, but who knew that so many people were crowded in, and I still felt that the space was not enough." Look at the crowd now, the aisles are full of people. ”

Liu Hao took a look, and there were indeed a lot of people inside, but the main reason was that the tables in the canteen took up too much space. I didn't think it used to be, but now it looks like it's too small. He had an idea: "If all these tables were moved out, wouldn't the effect be better?" ”

Gao Shi looked at Liu Hao blankly: "These are all made of cement, isn't it too wasteful to get them out?" ”

Liu Hao patted his head: "If you get these out, although the space inside can't be trained to walk in unison, some other training subjects are completely fine." ”

Gao Shi was stunned: "Zhicai is talking about training strength such as frog jumping?" ”

Liu Hao nodded: "Now I can only do this." Wait until the rain is over and the sky is clear, and then it's not too late to go to the school field for training. If there's not enough space, another small restaurant is open so you can train something even if it's raining. And every morning, whether it rains or not, there must be long-distance running. You can't stop all outdoor training just because it's raining, and they're here to go through some hardships. ”

Gao Shi nodded: "If the school field can't run, let them run on the road outside the school." Either way, make them look different within a month. In addition, the weather will get colder and colder this rain, shouldn't we also prepare winter clothes? These soldiers simply can't survive without shelter, especially those patrolling on winter nights. Does Zhicai have any plans in this regard? ”

Liu Hao sighed: "I have already sent someone to prepare, but now there are too few things to keep out the cold, silk and linen things have their own shortcomings, and animal fur is too scarce." Gaochangguo has a kind of cotton, which is the best cold-proof plant, but it is too late to plant it now, and there is no cultivation in three or five years, and there is not so much seed to promote in a large area. ”

Gao Shi scratched his head: "Then what should I do according to Zhicai's meaning?" ”

Liu Hao shook his head: "I'll go to the palace to discuss with Your Majesty and see if Your Majesty has any good solutions." Indoor heating is fine, charcoal stoves can solve the problem, the key is outdoors. Many people in my Datang will freeze to death every winter, Your Majesty, don't they have any effective methods? ”

Gao Shi smiled: "If you go to the grassland and loot those barbarians, maybe it will be better." But this is not a solution, there are many grassland people, and I don't know how much I will gain when there are countless casualties. ”

"Gaochang cotton? Does this really keep out the cold? ”

Li Longji stroked his beard and looked at Liu Hao, his eyes full of suspicion.

Liu Hao knew what he meant, nodded and said: "As long as Gaochang cotton is processed, the cotton seeds in it will be separated, and the remaining soft things will not only keep out the cold, but also weave cloth." Very useful. Doesn't Your Majesty know about this? ”

Li Longji smiled: "How can I not know, I also know the cotton cloth you said, but Gaochang cotton is really okay?" To tell you the truth, in the royal gardens of Chang'an and Luoyang, there are a lot of such things, but they are all left to their own devices, but some people in the clan like to use that as a pillow, and I have never heard of this effect. I've heard that there are people in the northwest border who plant it, but I don't know if it's true. ”

Liu Hao said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, as long as you find me cotton, I can make cotton clothes." Moreover, cottonseed can also be planted or squeezed for oil, and the stem of cotton can be used as firewood, so it can be said that cotton is a treasure. ”

When Li Longji heard this, he said to Li Hong next to him: "Hong'er, you and Zhicai went to the Royal Palace to pick some cotton, see if Zhicai can make the kind of cold thing he said, if it can really be done, it will be a great news for the people of the northern Tang Dynasty." ”

It was still raining outside, and Liu Hao and Li Hong got into the carriage and galloped towards the royal palace outside the city.

Li Hong looked at the clean cement road outside the car window and said: "It's really thanks to my uncle, in previous years, when it was rainy, the roads in the city were muddy, but now even if it rains heavily, the streets are still unimpeded." ”

Liu Hao smiled: "This is also your credit, if it weren't for your actions to make the people fully support the transformation throughout the whole process, I'm afraid that the entire Luoyang City would not be able to complete it until now." ”

Li Hong looked at Liu Hao and asked, "When will my uncle marry an aunt into the door?" Now my aunt is restless every day, anxiously waiting for you to go and get married. ”

Liu Hao sighed: "Let's talk about it when this time is over, now there are thousands more people in the military academy, and I have to guard there." It's okay before, even if I'm not there, there are Lu Yue and Zheng Ming here, and there won't be any chaos when the military academy is interrupted. But now it's not good, Gao Shi can't manage it alone, and Gao Shi doesn't dare to call the shots when it comes to things like military training. ”

After leaving the city gate, the road was not built because it was not an official road. The speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down a lot, and sometimes the guards behind had to get out of the carriage to help push it forward.

Li Hong sighed: "When it wasn't built before, I didn't think this kind of road was so difficult to walk. But now that I'm used to walking on the cement road, I really feel that I am suffering. I don't know when my uncle's plan to renovate the whole Datang will be implemented, and I'm looking forward to the day when the whole Datang will be a cement road. ”

Liu Hao looked at the fallen leaves floating in the rain outside the car window, and said to Li Hong: "Even if it is built, it is only to build some main roads." Now I Datang don't have the strength to build all these roads. ”

Liu Hao sighed in his heart, even in the highly developed period of later generations, the roads of the entire country dare not say that all the roads have been repaired, and there are still no feasible roads in many deep mountains. Now the population of Datang is only so small, and there is not much surplus labor to use. Even if enough cement can be produced now, it will be useless.

After arriving at the Royal Annex, the two jumped out of the carriage and walked inside with umbrellas.

As the crown prince, Li Hong can almost say that he can brush his face no matter where he goes. As the property of the royal family, the royal garden will naturally be unimpeded.

When you come to the planting area, you can see a large cotton field. The white cotton was in full bloom, but most of it was hanging from the rain, and some had even fallen to the ground.

Liu Hao looked at so much cotton distressedly and said, "Why don't you pick it quickly when it's ripe?" So much cotton, all of them have been wasted by you! Now hurry up and find someone to pick, these can be made into cotton clothes, and if you make one more cotton clothes, you may be able to save the life of a soldier! ”

When Li Hong heard this, he said to the person in charge of the royal garden: "You hurry up and organize the people to pick all the cotton here!" ”

When this person heard this, he immediately retorted: "Prince Qiqi, it is difficult to obey your orders, Concubine Wu Hui has already ordered that no one can move the cotton here." Not even a prince! ”

When Li Hong heard this, he immediately became angry: "What the hell are you?" As a prince alone, can't even you control it? Come! Cut out this person's tongue, break his hands and feet, and send it to Concubine Wu Hui! This prince wants to see how many people in the entire royal family have not taken loneliness in their eyes! ”

Li Hong couldn't help but be angry, his current position as the crown prince has been secured, and there are still some people who are thieves who don't die. At this moment, the good-tempered Li Hong had already killed Li Mao. A good-tempered person does not mean that he does not have a temper, at least since Li Hong trained in the military academy, the blood in his body has been stimulated. When no one provokes, he still wants to find trouble with others, and at this time, someone sends it to the door, and he naturally doesn't want to let it go.

After the guards left, Liu Hao pulled Li Hong and whispered, "Why are you so angry? ”

Li Hong said indignantly: "Before a certain became a prince, these people picked their noses and eyes at a certain person, and now they have become the prince, and their status in the royal family has been stabilized, these people still don't take a certain in their eyes." A little eunuch who guards the royal garden also dares to point fingers at a certain person, isn't this looking for death? ”

Liu Hao looked at Li Hong and asked, "Then what did Your Majesty let you run for that day?" Is it just for you to exercise? As a crown prince, you can't be so impulsive. When others look down on you, you do something that others can afford. You kill and kill like this, who will support you in the end? It's okay to kill, but not indiscriminately. Everything has a degree, and crossing the line will be counterproductive. People are very strange, and sometimes the more you kill them, the more they oppose you. ”
