The snow kept falling, half-dead, intermittently for two or three days, and the fine snow beads smashed on the ground, and a thin layer could not be retained, and they were dissolved and preserved. Since there is no heavy snow to close the road, it becomes a trouble to go to work early in the middle of winter, and if the military officials ride in the car, they will be despised, so they have to withstand the cold and wet wind and let the snow slag fall on their faces, and they are tortured on the road for a short time, and when they get on the horse every day, they have a feeling of dedication on the field, and life is better than death.

Shuttling in the cold wind, burying his hands in his sleeves and holding the reins, he was still frozen. As soon as I got home, I started to itch with a little heat, and I couldn't help scratching my hands with each other, and the red and swollen fingers and sticks were scratched and oozing yellow water outward, which made it even more itchy.

Ying held my hand and looked at the sourness, "Doctor Zhou said that it is good to boil radish in water, but this has not been effective for a few days, and it was only a finger a few days ago, so why did it pass three today." He put a thick linen cloth and wiped the radish water off his hands, "It's better to pretend to be sick and go on a business trip after the cold weather." ”

"Nonsense, "When I was a child, I also froze my ears in school, and I have experience." "It's fine to start spring, it's okay." He stretched out his palm and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile. It's only been a few years back in ancient times, and even the way of thinking has deteriorated, and I raised it at home in the winter two years ago, and I didn't have this awareness, but now I don't think of gloves until my hands are cold, and I deserve it!

It's strange that this dynasty has no gloves, and when I saw the process of training eagles at the beginning, I wore arm covers, the kind that was always attached to my hands, but I went out in winter with bare hands. Now that there is cotton and cloth at home, it is easy to make a big cloth bag with gassho and put it on your hands.

Give Ying to explain the details clearly, and make cotton clothes, make a sandwich in a large cloth bag, and stuff a cotton sleeve evenly inside, and show a thumb. To make it easier, just make do with this cold weather first, and then talk about cooked mittens.

Although the cooked leather process has existed in China since ancient times. It is possible to make boots and leather armor, but if you want gloves, it is best to have a few leather shops of Hu merchants, and the secret special process outside the territory can make the leather as soft as cotton cloth, and wear it on the hand like a second skin. If you want to get a soft sheepskin glove, you have to find a foreign businessman to buy leather, but the slender leather gloves are very stylish on the hands, Ying and the two women make a pair of good pairs, and it doesn't matter if the man's family messes around.

"No, you don't." Ying and her second daughter will be busy tomorrow, don't let them work, we have a ready-made cotton spinning industry expert, "I'll go to Dalai." ”

"Don't want her!" Ying carefully controlled my dress, "From head to toe, the concubine and the second daughter are tailors by themselves, and it is not the turn of a Goryeo, and the husband does not care." A small handicraft is difficult for the two ingenious ladies. I drew the hand shape. The second daughter made an inner tank with silk, the cotton was stuffed evenly, and the thread feet were taken before the end, and the cotton was fixed in the gall. Ying made a coat with three layers of burlap, and sewed a circle of rabbit skin on the sleeve. Stuffed the inner tank made by the second daughter into it and pulled it up, and the needlework inside and outside went twice, and the weaving was reliable.

It seems to me that the project is immensely large and has been completed in the hands of the two ladies, to be honest. It's better than what I bought in the mall in later life, the handmade thread feet are denser than the sewing machine, especially the sleeve sleeve is tight and soft, even on the wrist and decorated and sheltered, the only color is too monotonous, the linen is white, the rabbit fur is also white, and the gassho gloves are a bit similar to the polar bear's paw.

"You two will do it according to the skin." I put on a glove to warm up, covered Ying's face, and pressed the second girl's face, "Okay, comfortable, hehe." Sleep under the big bed tonight," carefully pressed the gloves under the pillow, and personally pulled the three of them together. "Come on. Roll together to warm up. ”

Wearing gloves in the morning, he shows off all over the world, and Liu Renliang is a civil official. But still according to the habit of riding horses in the military army, when he got off the horse, he was hot in his hands, rubbing it over and over again. "Oh?" Seeing that I was already doing morning exercises in the courtyard, I was surprised for a while, "The young eunuch is the earliest today." ”

"Haha," smirked, exaggerated two stretching exercises, arms stretched, "Generally, I don't have the habit of sleeping lazy, smelling chickens and dancing, and practicing knife skills every day." I forgot the time last night, and I got up late in the morning for fear of over-the-top, so I rushed to agriculture first and then practiced in the morning. Saying that, he wore gloves and pulled his waist knife, dancing quickly, the cold light flickered, whirring wind, the martial arts film was extinct, and he had to jump while the wheel, if he made a flying body during the period, it would be even more windy.

Liu Renliang was forced to retreat to the corner of the wall by my sharp knife qi, and he didn't see the road clearly until I finished the sword and withdrew the knife, and shook his head painfully, feeling sorry for his ignorance. "What is in the hands of the young eunuch?" In order to cover up his shortcomings in martial arts, he took the initiative to bring the topic to me.

"Oh, gadget," he said, nonchalantly removing his gloves for Liu Renliang to look at.

"Well, it's fine," he pinched, poked his hand inside, and asked blankly, "Soft and warm, what's inside?" ”

"Cotton. A little cotton was stuffed into the sandwich. ”

"I've heard of this, but the Ministry of Industry and the young eunuch are working together to get that thing?" Liu Renliang searched for the gloves over and over again, Ying and the second girl were too good at craftsmanship to give Liu Renliang a chance to see the cotton.

"Hehe," I took the gloves and stuffed them into my arms, and looked at Liu Renliang's expression, there was a door. After the cooling, the quilt carefully prepared by the Wang family was given away with friendship, and everything that had to do with it was not let go, and my side started from Li Shi, who was the smallest official and the ability was unknown, to the British Duke Li Ji, and Ying was in the circle of noblewomen, and everyone who could talk had gifts, which won a good reputation for the Wang family. Only this Liu Renliang is not easy to take care of, Qingliu, the exchange of gifts does not work in him, and the gifts are sent directly to make it difficult for people to fight, which hurts the harmony and loses face, and he does not dare to act rashly; If you don't send it, I can't swallow this breath, if you don't accept gifts, you don't give face to the Wang family, if you don't give face to the Wang family, you don't take me seriously, and if you don't take me seriously, you look down on the earl of the emperor's fiefdom, that is, you desecrate the nobles, desecrate the imperial power, and despise the royal law! "Cotton trial planting this year is also closely related to people's livelihood, and there should be a record in agriculture, in which the planting methods and species habits should be documented."

Liu Renliang smiled, "The messenger of the Ministry of Industry, it is better not to interfere in agriculture." ”

"That being said, the Ministry of Industry is only a promotion plan, and whether it can improve cotton yield and disease resistance still needs to be studied by agronomic personnel. In the future, whether cotton can no longer become the exclusive property of wealthy nobles and enter the people's homes like hemp fabrics depends on the concerted efforts of our agriculture. If you don't bring him in, you won't be surnamed Wang, and as he spoke, he took the cotton from the windowsill and handed it to Liu Renliang, calling the handyman to bring hot water from the kettle to make tea, "It's cold outside, go in and talk." ”

Liu Renliang put cotton on the table. Looking left and right, pinching and tearing, "What about the yield?" Compared with mulberry silkworms? ”

"Gao, when the farm work is done, it doesn't take special manpower to take care of it. There is no geographical restriction of silkworms, it is cold and drought tolerant, and if it is well planned, it does not need to encroach on a large number of grain fields. I got up and put a small roll of cotton cloth in my arms before weaving it in front of Liu Renliang, "It's finer than linen." It is stronger than silk and is the first choice for sheltering from the wind and cold, especially for high yield. The process is a little cumbersome, but after years of research, several of the difficulties have been overcome, and it is not much difficult to put into mass production. ”

"Take a look." Liu Renliang unfolded the cotton cloth, looked at the light, and rubbed and dragged it vigorously. I compared it with the silk on my body, unbuttoned the hemp shirt and pulled out a corner of the linen shirt inside, and tore it a few times before nodding with satisfaction. "Indeed, judging by the cotton cloth in my hand. It is stronger than silk and linen, and much thicker. If it can be planted without encroaching on the grain fields, it will be a blessing for the people in the world. If that glove is sent to the front, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the cold weather can also be improved. Frostbite attrition will also be reduced. ”

"It's all about planting. Today, the Western Turks have become a province of our country. It is dry and rainless, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is difficult to grow food, so if we can plant cotton and other drought-resistant crops, it will indeed be a great blessing for me. As he spoke, he got up and pointed to the area of the Western Regions on the map, "In terms of area alone, it is far larger than the sum of the important grain producing areas in Guanzhong and Henan, and it is a pity to ignore such a large land resource." The imperial court also had to spend a lot of money and grain every year to appease the local natives, and if they could find a suitable place for cultivation so that they could produce something, it would no longer be a burden to exchange the goods with the imperial court for living materials. Hatchback comparison......"

"Maybe the young eunuch's words have a point." Liu Renliang interrupted the topic, "I understand what you mean, when you said that cotton is drought resistant and cold resistant, I thought about it to the west." Not necessarily what the young eunuch thinks, silkworm mulberry and hemp grain have been managed by the government since ancient times, and cotton is better than silkworms. Put such an important object in the hands of a group of Hu people. I can't help but ......"

It seems that Lao Liu is a pan-nationalist, and fundamentally did not understand the great strategic concept of the great helmsman Li Shimin Huayi. According to his meaning, even if the Han people can't get the land to grow cotton, they can't go to the minority areas to promote it, and those people can't die with government help, and they don't have to live too comfortably. "Nurture raising," we must throw out the theory of nourishment put forward by Lan Ling, and fundamentally overturn Liu Renliang's prejudice. "In this way, if planting cotton and other crops can improve the living conditions, compared with the days of grazing and wandering, without food and clothing, there is no need to worry about survival, there is no need to sacrifice their lives to fight, and war horses become field livestock; There is no need to hunt and plunder, the use of knives, guns, bows and arrows is infrequent, there is a life of food and clothing, and the descendants will no longer follow their ancestors and gallop on horseback, and have the time and conditions to accept the indoctrination of our dynasty, gradually shed their wildness, and transform from a mob to a good citizen and obedient to the people.

The more trade and trade, the more frequent contact with us, mutual exchanges, and the faster the barriers between ethnic groups will be eliminated. In order to ensure trade with the Guannai, they would regard trade routes as more important than their lives, and would take the initiative to maintain and govern, which also reduced the burden of the imperial court's heavy troops to open up trade routes. As he spoke, he took down the map from the wall and laid it on the table, "Take the Western Turks as the beginning, and to the west, to the north, and even to the east, there are many more places to be conquered." If you only take this small part of the Western Turks as the end point, to take precautions, to suppress and purge, and only to resort to force for simple conquest, and to be stranded on this unproductive and hostile desert all year round, the Tang Dynasty will never reach the glory it deserves.

We have a culture of thousands of years, a civilization hundreds of years ahead of them, wise monarchs, brave soldiers, diligent people, and officials of good moral and moral character like school superintendents, all military conquests are only the beginning, and the fusion of culture and blood is the result. Give foreigners a sense of belonging, so that they will think that they are Tang people the moment they close their eyes before death, and all honor and pride come from their motherland. Living is a Tang Dynasty, and death is a Tang ghost, and it is clear that his soul will go to the underworld to see the king of Hades, not to see the damned gods they believe in. "I was a little excited, it seems that I have already integrated into the role, and the teacup in front of Liu Renliang was picked up and killed.

"Oh..."Liu Renliang replied, and after glancing at me, he crawled on the map and pondered, and did not speak for a long time. A slight shift in the direction I pointed, "What is this?" ”

"It's a fallacy, hehe." Seeing that Liu Renliang finally raised his head and spoke. smiled, "It sounds very ethereal, but our ancestors have been doing this, since the pre-Qin unified China, how many strong alien races have been integrated into the big circle of the Chinese nation, although it has not been specially taken to the table to set the charter, but for thousands of years it has been gradually invading outward, intentionally or unintentionally." Among the many surnames, there are many foreign ones. Aren't you a citizen of my dynasty now? "I don't dare to give an example, there are too many foreign bloodlines among the dignitaries of the court now, including the Li family, and it is easy to get into trouble if you say it too carefully.

Liu Renliang looked at me carefully for a while, "The young eunuch has been pondering this?" Before entering Beijing, I learned your methods, and with this reputation and family prestige, now I am the commander of the Zuo Wuwei march, and the achievements are in front of you. But he ran away and became a young prisoner in agronomy without a name. Huh..."

"It's... There are ancestral teachings in the family, and when the long history is already unfilial, it is okay not to mention the meritorious service. Now that I can do my best to contribute to the country without violating the ancestral teachings, I don't have the identity of a Tang Dynasty citizen in vain," he sighed and tried to pretend to be bland. "Gentleman, hehe, maybe the clothes and food are more suitable for me. Patriotism, loyalty to the people is the words. It doesn't have to be on the lips, and it doesn't have to be deliberately pretended to be ethical and behaving for outsiders to see, conscience, just keep your conscience in mind. ”

Liu Renliang's face changed, and he probably thought that his words were pertinent, "Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, everyone has their own understanding and different approaches." Perhaps the young eunuch thinks he is more free-spirited. You have the conditions and the ability to do this, but you can't demand that people be born with such a prominent identity as you, and have been educated by famous people and teachers since childhood. The wretched people in the fields are tired of their livelihood all day long; The civil and military officials perform their duties, and they can't afford to spend so much time studying these illusory things under official duties," he said, shaking his head and smiling: "But it is also reasonable, I will write down the words of the young eunuch, and you will mention them according to the reason." I will also argue article by article on the basis of reason. ”

There is an effect. At least he thinks what I'm saying understands and is progress. smiled: "It's just talking." The superintendent doesn't have to be too careful, there are two sides to everything in the world, and if you argue it, you will definitely not be an opponent. ”

"It's an argument based on facts, so how can you say victory or defeat?" Liu Renliang put away the cotton on the table and arched his hand, "From cotton can be involved in the expansion of territory, and the ground is comprehensive, the young eunuch is not an idle person, forgive Liu for being clumsy." ”

"Oh, yes." I patted my head, "The cotton sample is seen, but the specific effect has to be familiar to you, whether it is better than the silkworm, it is not to say, you have to experience it to know." ”

"Oh?"

"Now in the Ministry of Industry and the effect of cotton trial investigation, from farmers, businessmen, officials, nobles to select dedicated volunteers to try cotton, during the trial period detailed record of the opinions and suggestions put forward by each user, but also before the promotion of a detailed information to improve the cotton process." As he spoke, he took out a user opinion form prepared last night from his arms and handed it to Liu Renliang, "You see, if you can, as the top leader of agronomy, the superintendent's suggestion is the most convincing, if you can participate in the trial, it is the luck of the cotton industry and the people of the country." ”

Liu Renliang took a closer look at the user opinion form and nodded, "Yes." ”

Breakthrough is the greatest achievement in my life in tackling key human problems. Compared with the original bank staff, the social experience and ability have made great progress, and they have dealt with them before, but they have never had the experience of pulling down the big bosses of the state's clean government supervision work, and compared with the process of planting and promoting cotton, it is more difficult to gradually corrupt Liu Daguan, and there is also a greater sense of achievement.

The quilt of the Liu family has long been prepared, and as soon as I go home, I personally assigned a competent person to take the name sticker on the palace and send it over.

"Laughing, you're smug." Lan Ling took the cotton leather gloves I sent and looked at them on his hands, "It's just you, others can't think of such an unethical bribery method." It's right not to let you enter the court, for decades, the wind of righteousness can make you mix up alone, and when it comes to chopping a hundred knives, you can't make up for it. ”

"Say what? I don't have such a repeated villain like you, I lack virtue left and right, don't forget that it's for you, and I don't have time to take care of it if I change it. "Since Ying made cotton gloves for me, I suddenly came to the interest, I don't know whose cooked leather shop I copied, I got dozens of sheepskins back, and specially invited a few leather craftsmen to press the hand shape of the family, and also asked Lanling for a hand sample, cotton, cotton, single skin, one person made three pairs." Seeing that your legs are good, it is estimated that getting leather pants to wear will have an effect. Lan Ling pulled the single leather gloves over his wrists, if he wore leather pants and had a bit of lewdness in his eyes, he would find a leather whip to wheel a few times, and make a disc that would definitely sell well.

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

"Cooked skin, I have to admit that we can't compare to other people's beards, it's far from good. In the future, how good is a pair of leather gloves for each front-line soldier? Especially on cold days, huh? ”

"What do you think?" Lan Ling looked at me with a smile, "Planning..."

"Well, those bearded ghosts are very, think of a way. Our own craftsmanship should be able to reach the level of the gloves you wear, and what sets are not just coming at hand. ”

"Handed it over to me?" Lan Ling showed the usual evil smile on my face, "What is this called?" ”

"The husband sings and the wife follows."

"Whatever you want?"

"Look," took the bronze mirror, and Lanling's face was pasted together, "Like not?" We. ”

"Oh?"

"The image of husband and wife is only available in love."

In line with the policy of the imperial court, in the cold wind, he led Wangcai, Pinnose and other dogs to enforce rabies vaccination. The imperial court's move is a policy to benefit the people, but the small people have something unclear, why do they have to force it to repeat it again at the end of the year after the vaccine that was injected in the middle of next year? Could it be that my Heavenly Empire has been so fraternized that it wants to include dogs in medical insurance, pension benefits and other policies that benefit the people? 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.
