Chapter 319: Cotton Jacket
Li Yong, who appeared at the palace gate, immediately attracted the attention of the guards, they saw Li Yong coming, as if they saw a golden man coming over, offering a reward of 10,000 guan and a white stacked flower, they, the palace guards, may not be able to accumulate 10,000 guan in a lifetime, and a person is not as valuable as a white stacked flower for a lifetime, do you say that he is angry? That's why the name of Chang'an is moved, such a big gesture makes people feel that Li Yong's whole person exudes golden light, but when they see Li Yong's appearance clearly, they can't help but feel stunned, because at this time Li Yong's appearance and the identity of the county marquis are not consistent at all, have you ever seen a county marquis carrying a burden? It's not a Huajin burden, it's still a coarse cloth burden, but thinking about the last time this master entered the palace with a bag of corn on his back, they seem to be a little acceptable, Huatinghou always takes the usual path! If next time, Huating Hou carried a hoe or pushed a wheelbarrow into the palace, they would not be surprised.
"Also, are you going to enter the palace?"
The guard asked.
"It's not that I'm entering the palace, I'm still here to visit the door, what's the drop?"
Li Yong smiled and scolded, the guards looked at Li Yong with the same expression although he didn't speak, don't you think you are visiting the door now? is also carrying a coarse cloth baggage, isn't this a typical outfit for visiting the door?
"Master Hou, what are you carrying on your back?"
The guard asked curiously.
"Baggage!"
Li Yong replied with a smile, don't we know that this is a burden? The guards didn't know what to say for a while, but after finishing speaking, Li Yong opened the burden with a smile.
"Inside is a padded jacket, dedicated to the saint!"
Jacket? The jacket had only heard of mink, fox skin, tiger skin, and bear skin, but had not heard of cotton jackets, and the guards were full of curiosity, and they all came up to see it, and then they were stunned, what did they see? Coarse cloth? The coarse cloth is a coarse cloth jacket in the baggage, isn't this an ordinary person's visit? Was it a coarse cloth jacket offered to the emperor? Hua Tinghou, are you serious? The guards hesitated.
"Master Hou, is this the jacket you dedicated to the saint?"
Li Yong nodded and replied.
"Yes, this is a heavy treasure, a priceless treasure, and it is not called a padded jacket, not a jacket."
After the guards checked it, Li Yong put the burden on his back again, and then strode into the palace, leaving only the guards messy at the palace gate, they haven't come back to their senses yet, it's obviously a jacket sewn from coarse cloth, can this be regarded as a heavy treasure? If this can be regarded as a heavy treasure, then they can offer a thousand or ten thousand pieces, can they also seek a knighthood? In front of the Ganlu Palace, Li Yong strode over with a burden on his back, and the little eunuchs were also stunned, last time this master was carrying a big cloth bag, and this time it was even more amazing, he was directly carrying a coarse cloth burden, they were very puzzled in their hearts, which one is Huatinghou going to make trouble? The little eunuch walked into the Manna Hall with a puff of smoke.
"Enlightened saint, Huating Hou is here, Huating Hou is still carrying a burden on his body."
Li couldn't help but pause on the imperial pen on the second-hand, and then his brows furrowed, and some bad memories were surging.
"This kid isn't going to steal my corn again, is he?"
Li Erbang stood up suddenly.
"That's what some and so am for food, this kid!"
Li Er said while striding towards the outside of the main hall, Li Yong was climbing the steps with his burden on his back, looking up, Li Er looked at him like water, Li Yong couldn't help but be stunned, what's the matter, why did Li Er have a calm face? Could it be because I received Wu Cao and Yingluo last night? No, that's also arranged by Changle, Princess Changle arranged for her personal maid to sleep when it was inconvenient, and Wu Cao was originally his concubine, isn't this a normal thing? I also refuse, but I can't resist your daughter's sensible!
"Minister Li Yong visited the saint, how could the minister He De actually greet the saint in person!"
Li Yong dragged the burden and said slightly.
"Li Yong, what is your baggage? Are you stealing corn again? ”
Li Er asked, Li Yong was speechless, he was still guessing why Li Er's face was sinking like water, how could he not guess that Li Er still thought that he was stealing corn, is he Li Yong like that? Besides, isn't there still Princess Changle stopping you? The most important thing is that the corn is so old, who will eat it! The point is that you are robbing my corn, you know that for this corn, my fleet almost didn't come back, are you embarrassed to say? Li Yongyi said righteously.
"Sage, of course the minister's burden is not corn, how can the minister go to pick corn again? The corn is now old and too hard to taste! ”
Li Er didn't believe it much when he heard it before, but when he heard it later, he believed it, the corn is already old and not delicious, so there should be no need to guard against it, not afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves, now thieves don't worry about it, very good, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the expression on his face thawed, and he nodded and said.
"Come in!"
Back in the main hall, Li Er's eyes fell on the burden behind Li Yong, in fact, he was very curious, what was in the ordinary coarse cloth burden?
"First carried a cloth bag into the palace, and now you carry a coarse cloth bag into the palace to meet you, you are also an unprecedented person who has never come before, Li Yong, what is in your baggage?"
Li Er asked curiously, Li Yong patted his burden and smiled.
"Sage, the minister has come to the palace today to offer treasures!"
Offering treasure? Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up, he could be called a baby by Li Yong, it must be a baby, what made him curious, what kind of baby should be wrapped in a coarse cloth?
"Oh, baby? What is the baby? Open it and take a look! ”
Li Er couldn't wait to say, Li Yong opened the baggage, took out the padded jacket, shook it in a chic manner, the coarse cotton jacket appeared brightly, Li Er was stunned, and the eunuchs in the hall were also sluggish, Li Yong kept saying that the baby, aroused everyone's curiosity, and they looked forward to seeing the baby's demeanor, because Li Yong had created too many miracles! That's why they looked forward to it so much, but what they never expected was that when they opened the baggage, it turned out to be a coarse cloth garment?
"That's what you call baby?"
Li Er asked suspiciously, and Li Yong nodded and replied.
"Yes, sage, this is the treasure that the minister said."
Li Er looked at Li Yong's very serious face, calmed down, and said with a smile.
"I want to hear about it!"
"The minister offered a reward for white stacked flowers in Chang'an, just to make this coarse cloth cotton jacket, and the hard work paid off, and the minister found twenty-two white stacked flowers in the Taiyuan royal family, and finally made this coarse cloth cotton jacket."
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Twenty-two? Two hundred and twenty thousand? ”
Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked, and the eunuchs next to him couldn't help but gasp, one white stacked flower is ten thousand, and twenty-two white stacked flowers are not two hundred and twenty thousand? No, you have to add the five trees in the Hejian County Palace, so this coarse cloth cotton jacket is worth 270,000 yuan? A coarse cloth garment worth 270,000 yuan? 270,000 yuan, just made such a coarse cloth jacket? At this moment, Li Er felt that his heart was dripping blood, these 270,000 yuan were Li Yong's, yes, but it was also his daughter's!
"Li Yong, you offered a reward of 10,000 yuan for a white stacked flower to make this coarse cloth jacket, what is the use?"
Li Er asked.
"The white stacked flowers are very soft and very warm, and the white stacked flowers are sewn into the clothes and sewn into the quilt, and the warmth effect is no less than that of the fur fur."
Li Yong replied with a straight face, the eunuchs next to him all thought that Hua Tinghou must be crazy, they still thought that Bai Diehua had a big secret, it turned out to be to keep warm? The white stacked flowers that I bought for 270,000 yuan are just to keep warm? And it was sewn into the emperor with coarse cloth, crazy! Ankang County must be crazy! Li Er wondered.
"Just to keep warm? There are a lot of good furs. ”
Li Yong said with a smile.
"The saint has a good fur, and the minister's family also has a good fur, but does the saint know what ordinary people use to keep out the cold? It is to stuff reeds in coarse cloth or even linen! How much warmth does that do? Every year, I don't know if someone is frozen to death, but the white stacked flowers are very soft and warm, they can be planted in any place, and even in wasteland, if every county in the Tang Dynasty has white stacked flowers, then the people will no longer have to be afraid of the cold. ”
Li Er's face became solemn, he was not the emperor who grew up in the deep palace, he led the troops to fight in all directions, and knew the people's feelings, so he knew how difficult it was for the people to endure every cold winter, when he led the troops to fight outside, even the soldiers under his command were frozen to death, if there is really a cheap and easy-to-get thing like a fur to keep warm, then it is really a blessing for the common people, and its merits are no less than the abundant grain, and even exceeded, Li Yong smiled.
"Would you like to give it a try, saint?"
"Give it a try and see if it's really as good as you say."
Li Er didn't even let Huang Yan, the old man, transfer it, but walked in front of Li Yong in stride and took it over, which shows how excited and expectant he is at the moment, taking over the padded jacket, Li Er did not immediately put it on his body, but first touched it with his hands, although the coarse cloth is rough, but it also feels soft when pinched, not only soft but also dense, just touching, Li Er believed seven points in his heart.
"It's very soft to the touch, and it's dense, and this thing is very comfortable to wear, and it's many times stronger than a reed."
Li Er nodded approvingly, after speaking, Li Er directly put the padded jacket on his body, quietly feeling, Li Yong stood aside and looked at it with a smile, it is already late autumn weather, and it is already a little chilly, but this padded jacket is worn on the body, hehe, it is definitely strong enough, especially this padded jacket is so thick.
"Warm! Warm! It's so hot! This thing really doesn't keep you warmer than a fur fur! Hahaha! Good, good stuff! ”
Although he was sweating profusely, Li Er couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"So you offered a heavy reward for white stacked flowers, in fact, to let the white stacked flowers spread in Datang?"
Li Er thought for a moment and then asked, Li Yong nodded and said.
"Yes, the minister is for the seeds of the white stacked flowers, the more the seeds of the white stacked flowers can be collected, the faster the white stacked flowers can spread, and the people will be less frozen."
Li Er nodded and said.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand, worth it!"
The figure of the eldest grandson queen appeared in front of the palace gate of the Ganlu Palace, and before she walked in, she heard the emperor's laughter, at that time she heard that the little eunuch said that Li Yong was carrying a coarse cloth burden into the palace when she was also startled, she also felt that Li Yong went to pick corn again, last time let Li Yong escape a catastrophe, this time if Li Yong picks corn again, then this board is no matter how you can escape, so the eldest grandson queen hurriedly came to the Liangyi Palace, hit the board and return to the board, just make a show, don't really fight, but haven't approached the hall yet, Hearing the laughter from the Ganlu Palace, she was curious, the emperor could laugh, which meant that Li Yong did not pick corn, so what was the burden that Li Yong was carrying? Or is it a coarse cloth baggage? What makes Empress Changsun even more curious is, what is 220,000 guan worth? Approaching the eldest grandson queen of the main hall, she raised her eyes and saw the laughing emperor wearing a coarse cloth robe, this is what Li Yong is in his baggage? A coarse cloth garment? And the emperor laughed happily, with an excited face? Empress Eldest Sun asked with a smile.
"What 220,000 is worth it?"
Li Er saw the eldest grandson Wujian and explained with a smile.
"Li Yong found twenty-two white stacked flowers from the Taiyuan Wang's house."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, Li Yong offered a heavy reward for white stacked flowers, she naturally knew, she thought that Li Yong would also be able to offer a reward of one or two white stacked flowers, but she never expected Li Yong to find twenty-two, twenty-two white stacked flowers! That's 220,000, is it worth it? Lose your marbles! At this moment, Empress Changsun even wondered if the emperor and Li Yong were crazy, her heart was dripping blood.
"Li Yong, what are you buying white stacked flowers for?"
Empress Eldest Sun asked, Li Yong smiled.
"Of course, it is for the benefit of the world."
The more Empress Changsun listened, the more confused she became, and Li Er smiled.
"It's really for the benefit of the people all over the world, this white stacked flower can keep warm, sewn into this clothes is too warm, the same as a fur, and it can be planted anywhere, Li Yong is the seed of the white stacked flower bought, and when the white stacked flower spreads all over the world, the people will no longer have to be frozen."
Warm? So the jacket worn by the emperor is sewn into white stacked flowers? Empress Changsun walked up curiously and touched it, it was indeed very soft and warm, put her hand in, it was very hot and humid, the emperor was already sweating profusely, Empress Changsun couldn't help but sigh.
"Really! It's such a good thing, it's so soft, it's so warm, it's really good to sew into your clothes. ”
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Not only can it be sewn into clothes, but it can also be sewn into quilts, and it can also be covered at night to keep out the cold."
Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but nod when she heard this, how comfortable it was to sew cotton into the quilt, even she, the queen, wanted to try it.
Li Er said happily.
"That's why I said that I bought these seeds with 220,000 yuan, it's worth it!"
If you look at it from the aspect of benefiting the people, of course, it is worth it, but from the perspective of these white stacked flowers, are they really worth 220,000?
Empress Eldest Sun asked with a smile.
"Did the Taiyuan royal family really receive 220,000 yuan from you?"
Does the Taiyuan royal family really dare to accept her son-in-law's daughter 220,000 yuan? Li Er couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, he just cared about being happy but didn't think so much, Li Xiaogong was one of Li Yong's fathers-in-law, and he directly gave five white stacked flowers to Li Yong, which was excusable, but Taiyuan really accepted 220,000 yuan?
