    Chapter 700: [Lao Mao]

    ¡­¡­

    Li Jing¡¯s words denied Hou Junji¡¯s earnest request in terms of the long processing period and the difficulty of transportation in winter.

    He looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and said, "His Royal Highness has requested to start planting cotton tomorrow. The cotton can be harvested by tomorrow autumn. Then we will take a look at the situation and send gloves to the soldiers in the north!"

    After finishing speaking, he looked at Hou Junji steadily: "There is no need to rush."

    Hou Junji's face was slightly embarrassed, but as people who could climb to the position of Minister of National Defense, they are all good people. He quickly came to his senses and bowed respectfully to Li Jing: "It's still the Duke of Wei.  You think it through, it¡¯s Hou who is too eager!¡±

    "Hou Shangshu also thinks about the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. You should think so when you sit in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so it is understandable!" Li Jing said with a smile.

    He took off the gloves on his hands and said to Li Chengqian: "The gloves are indeed very warm and very easy to use. I have tried the gloves and now they are back to their original owners!"

    Hou Junji took a look and saw that even Li Jing, who was older than him and had a higher status than him, had returned the gloves to Li Chengqian, so how could he not take them off and give them back to him?

    So he took it off too.

    Li Chengqian rubbed his hands. Damn the weather, his hands felt cold after a while, but they were still gloved hands, so he reached out to take it from the two of them.

    "Your Highness is really a genius for inventing this thing. I have fought in the Turks before, and the weather there was extremely cold. Why didn't I think of using gloves to keep my hands warm? None of my thousands of soldiers have ever thought of it.  This question! It seems that none of the ministers or soldiers are as talented as His Highness!" Li Jing praised Li Chengqian.

    Li Chengqian took over Hou Junji's gloves at this time and heard such high praise from Li Jing, the military god.  He was slightly embarrassed because he only made gloves based on the gloves from his previous life.  And he's very lazy.  Only when my hands were frozen did I think of making gloves.  What a genius!

    It¡¯s like this, and being praised like this, even I feel embarrassed.

    "Uncle, I gave you the award. I just made it out of inspiration!" Li Chengqian said to him.

    Li Jing waved his hand and said seriously: "This is a great invention. When cotton is available tomorrow, we can make it directly like this glove. By then, it will be sent to tens of thousands of soldiers in the north, and the soldiers will be able to use it."  They have protected our Tang Dynasty better! So this thing should be taken seriously!"

    Li Chengqian was so praised that he felt very happy.  He stretched out his hand to take Li Jing's glove, but he couldn't pull it out. Did old Li Jing's hand hold it too tightly?

    "I think these gloves should be presented to His Majesty, who will reward His Highness." Li Jing said seriously, "Let me do this errand!"

    Listening to his words, Li Chengqian felt that his hands were empty, hey.  The other glove is missing.

    "Huh?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment.

    Li Jing said seriously: "Your Highness, this is what I should do!"

    I didn¡¯t say I wouldn¡¯t let you do it, but why are you trying to steal my gloves?

    "The morning court is about to begin. I will go over first. I will present the gloves to Your Majesty later!" Li Jing turned around, took the gloves and left.

    He walked to his seat and sat down. It could already be seen that he had put on gloves on his hands.

    Isn¡¯t this a scam with sweet words?

    Li Chengqian and Hou Junji looked at each other blankly.

    Out of these two psychology:

    The prince cannot be embarrassed in front of Hou Shangshu.  It was embarrassing, so the prince had to pretend that it didn't matter.

    Hou Shangshu can't look at the prince's jokes.  So we have to pretend that what Li Jing said is true and that he is not here to defraud the prince.

    So.  After the two of them looked at each other blankly, their faces turned serious, as if what happened just now didn't happen, and then they turned around and separated, sitting down in their seats.

    Li Jing hid his gloved hands in his armholes, but he was still seen by sharp-eyed people, such as Yuchi Laohei, who laughed and asked him what it was.

    Li Jing had a very solemn look on his face, and Li Chengqian could see that his face was exuding Buddha's light.

    He said to Yuchi Laohei: "I can't say that I can't say it. There are very confidential things here. I will hand them over to Your Majesty later!"

    Yuchi Laohei was stunned and asked: "Take off this cloth and let me, Laohei, see your hands!"

    Fang Xuanling, who was attracted, also nodded in agreement with Yuchi Laohei's words.

    Li Jing still shook his head and said: "The thing is in my hand. It needs to be wrapped with this thing to prevent it from breaking.I will hand it over to Your Majesty when Your Majesty comes!  "

    Li Jing¡¯s prestige was very high, so when he said such serious things, they both believed it and nodded.

    Looking at Li Jing's gloves, he couldn't help but his eyes changed, as if he saw something to protect.

    Being valued so highly by the God of War is of course something very useful and beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.  Yuchi Laohei and Fang Xuanling are both loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, they must take such things as seriously as the God of War.

    After a while, Lao Li came out. He sat on the dragon couch, couldn't help but rub his hands, and then started his morning ritual.

    As time goes by, Lao Li and the ministers are dealing with government affairs one by one.

    But Yuchi Laohei and Fang Xuanling began to feel strange.

    Why didn¡¯t Li Jing come up in advance and report the confidential information to His Majesty? Why did he wait so long?

    This is really confusing. The important thing is of course to report early and do well.

    However, they were relieved when they thought that Li Jing might have special arrangements for this important confidential item, or that he might have to wait a while before going to the Manlu Palace to hand it over to His Majesty privately.

    Li Chengqian, on the other hand, showed his unlimited contempt for Uncle Li Jing from his seat.

    The old man didn¡¯t say anything. Didn¡¯t he just want to cover his hands with gloves?

    Of course, Li Chengqian felt that he understood and supported an old man in his sixties who took his gloves to warm his hands. He still respected and loved the old man in his heart.

    But it still can¡¯t stop his contemptuous behavior.  The above words cannot be a reason for him not to despise it!

    When it was about to go to court, Li Jing stood up, took off his gloves, and talked about gloves to Lao Li.

    Li Jing¡¯s mouth was about to grow. He said something good or wonderful, but he could think of all the uses of gloves.  Finally, I also attached that I tried it on for nearly an hour in the morning and found that it does have these effects.

    Therefore, gloves can become an important strategic invention for the military. As the inventor of this invention, Prince Li Chengqian has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and the soldiers. Prince Li Chengqian should be praised and rewarded!

    Old Li¡¯s mood flickered when he heard this, and he was somewhat doubtful of Li Jing¡¯s words. He said, ¡°Bring me your gloves and try them on!¡±

    So Li Jing¡¯s gloves were given to Lao Li.

    Lao Li's cold hands were immediately warmed by the body temperatures of Li Chengqian, Hou Junji, and Li Jing inside the gloves. The effect came out almost immediately, and it was probably even worse than that hand warmer.  It¡¯s much easier to use!

    "Okay, it's indeed a good thing!" Lao Li shouted. He looked at Li Chengqian, first praised him, and then rewarded Li Chengqian with a prize.

    " Of course it's a good thing to have something to gain. Li Chengqian's resentment towards Li Jing was slightly reduced, and he accepted Lao Li's prize.

    The ministers were all surprised. They just tried it, and it had an effect just after putting it on their hands. Isn't this amazing?

    But when they saw that things were invented by the prince who had always invented them, and recommended by the highly prestigious Li Jing, the emperor was so sure that they did not dare to stand up and object.

    As for the cotton planting experiment that Li Chengqian proposed before, he had always been talking about the benefits of growing cotton, but his words were unfounded. Even those who believed in Li Chengqian did not believe it so thoroughly, so now a piece of cotton has finally come out.  The finished product has finally been realized, and the value of cotton has finally been reflected.

    The cotton cultivation mentioned by Li Chengqian has finally been recognized.

    After going to court, Li Chengqian was thinking about how to take care of the Zhuangzi that Lao Lixin had given him.

    I saw Lao Li wearing cotton gloves on his hands and walking out of the Tai Chi Hall. When he saw Li Chengqian, he waved to him to come over.

    Li Chengqian rubbed his hands and walked to Lao Li.

    Wearing gloves is a good idea. You don¡¯t have to rub your hands obscenely and cause the sleeves in front of the abdomen to shake. People will think it is ¡°promoting prostitution in the daytime¡± when they see it!

    "Let's go to the Manna Hall!" Lao Li put on his gloves and waved his hand with an air of grandeur, as if he was not facing Li Chengqian's wretched son, but commanding a million-strong army!

    Go, is it such an exaggeration?

    When we arrived at the Ganlu Hall, it was very warm here. Two large copper stoves were burning, generating enough heat, which was more effective than the heating in later generations.

    Li Chengqian smelled it. This was not the smell of charcoal. It was burning so vigorously but there was no smell. Li Chengqian felt that this thing was very familiar!

    He quietly walked into the copper stove to take a look. The closer he got, the warmer it became. He rubbed his hands together and they were completely warm, but he couldn't see what was inside.??Î÷.

    ¡°Don¡¯t look, it¡¯s the briquettes you made inside!¡± Lao Li¡¯s voice rang out.

    Li Chengqian quickly turned around and stopped looking at the copper furnace.

    Unexpectedly, the business of briquettes has reached the palace, or who is so bold and dares to use it for Lao Li so quickly!

    At this time, Lao Li was still looking at the gloves lovingly. The more he looked at them, the more he fell in love with them. He said: "These gloves are really good to use. If you use them when you go to court every day, your hands will not be frozen!"

    He touched his gloves and sighed: "In this morning court, we must show diligence. If everyone had to hold a hand warmer in their hands during the last morning court, it would be too shameful. It would appear that I and the ministers are both indifferent."  It¡¯s like being pampered. So, the ministers are all suffering!¡±

    He raised his head, looked at Li Chengqian, and said: "Although the existing cotton is very small and not enough to use for the tens of thousands of soldiers in the north, it should be okay to give each of the ministers a pair of gloves!"
