Chapter 261 Rejection
Although there were many kinds of fabrics in the early Tang Dynasty, the raw materials were hemp and silk.
No matter which kind of heat preservation effect is very poor.
Cotton cloth and flannel cloth with good thermal insulation effect have not yet appeared.
Li Shimin led the army in the South and North Wars in his early years, and he still has a better understanding of the situation among the people.
The weather in winter in ancient times was much colder than in later generations, and countless people died of freezing every year.
If it is really as Lin Xuan said, then Bai Diezi's importance to Datang can be said to be very great.
Li Shimin even thought more about it. If the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had clothes that were effective in keeping out the cold, then the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could fight in winter.
He has a secret in his heart that he has never told anyone.
He wanted to accomplish what the former Sui Dynasty hadn't done, and attack Goguryeo.
Li Shimin knew that this idea was a bit surprising, so he didn't tell anyone.
But this plan never faded away.
Over the years, he has been analyzing the reasons for the failure of the Sui Dynasty. One of the reasons is that Liaodong was bitterly cold.
As long as there are warm clothes, it can be lower than the severe cold. Li Shimin believes that with the elite of Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo can be destroyed.
Lin Xuan nodded solemnly and said, "There is absolutely no lie!"
Li Shimin quickly asked: "Are there any clothes made of white folds? Show me."
"Now?" Lin Xuan stared at the boss.
Although it is already August, the weather is not particularly hot, but it still looks like [-] degrees.
In this kind of weather, if you wear a little thicker clothes, it will be too hot. What’s the difference if you add cotton or not?
This does not show the warmth of cotton at all.
Li Shimin also reacted, coughed twice, concealed his embarrassment, and said, "How many seeds are there in total?!"
"Return to Your Majesty, the seeds are more than [-] catties." Lin Xuan said!
Lin Xuan thought about the potato, but still didn't plan to tell Li Shimin now.
Anyway, potatoes are only a little more than a thousand catties now, and next year they can plant a few acres of land at most, and they can grow them by themselves.
But cotton is different, with more than 1 catties of seeds, you can plant almost eight or nine thousand acres.
It is impossible for him to let his own tenants grow all the crops. If he wants to promote it, he still has to rely on Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Good job, once the weather is cold, I will make a piece of clothing and send it to me immediately. If Bai Diezi is really effective in keeping out the cold, you guys will be rewarded a lot!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Li Shimin finally stopped asking about Hou Junji, Lin Xuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said: "I want to keep Hou Junji, can you find a way?"
No matter what, Hou Junji was loyal to him after being with him for so long, and his abilities were good, so after Li Shimin's anger subsided, he decided to spare him once.
But as the emperor, he must not make people feel that he is favoring Hou Junji.
Lin Xuan lost his voice: "Does Your Majesty want the minister to give false testimony?"
He is not a fool, if Li Shimin wants to deal with Hou Junji, there are plenty of ways, why bother to ask him.
It was nothing more than wanting Lin Xuan to testify to Hou Junji and settle the matter quickly.
Li Shimin didn't speak, it was a tacit agreement.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I can't do this matter!"
Hou Jun gathered his troops to plunder, but Lin Xuan didn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it.
But asking him to testify to Hou Junji, he couldn't pass the test in his heart.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan with a gloomy face, and said, "You want to resist the edict?"
To be honest, Li Shimin certainly likes people like Lin Xuan who have no ambitions.
But as an emperor, what he likes more is that everyone is under control, and Lin Xuan is always out of it.
Lin Xuan said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, although I don't know the truth about the impeachment of Lord Wei, it is not groundless. I can't do it if I ask you to testify!"
"boom!"
Li Shimin jumped up against the case and shouted: "Lin Xuan, you are presumptuous!"
Lin Xuan lowered his head and did not speak.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan for a long time and said, "Go down!"
"Resign!" Lin Xuan bowed and retreated.
Walking out of the main hall, Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. Although he rejected Li Shimin and made Li Shimin angry, he did not regret it.
……
"Father, are you okay?" Hu De asked concerned.
Hou Junji nodded and said, "It's all good, all is good. How about it, how is it going with what Dad told you?"
Hou De nodded quickly, and said: "Father, the boy has already been there, and Zhao Guogong said that just because of greed for ink, father will not be a big deal."
Hou Junji frowned and thought for a while, then his brows relaxed.
What Changsun Wuji meant was nothing more than to tell him that he would never get rid of the corruption of ink.
But there is room for manipulation in the other two matters. Ask him if the tail has been dealt with cleanly.
Hou Junji thought about it carefully, Hou Qing was responsible for the death of King Gaochang, and Hou Qing would not betray him.
Apart from Qibi Heli who knew something about the death of Princess Gaochang, even if others doubted it, they couldn't produce evidence.
Thinking of this, Hou Junji heaved a sigh of relief.
These things, if he had thought carefully before, he could understand them.
But after he was imprisoned by Li Shimin, his mind was in such a mess that he couldn't concentrate on thinking about it.
"Father, what should we do now?" Hou De asked.
Hou Junji pondered for a while, and said: "Go back and seal all the things I brought back from Gaochang, and don't let anything leak out. Don't worry about other things."
At this point, the treasure must not be kept. Thinking of this, Hou Junji couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Hou De nodded quickly and said, "Father, I'll do it now, my son."
……
Cui Zhifeng said: "Uncle Clan, are we really not going to help Hou Junji?"
Cui Hao shook his head and said, "It's not that I won't help, but I can't help."
When this matter was mentioned, Cui Hao became angry.
In order to dispel Li Shimin's suspicion of Hou Junji, they have made great efforts.
Five of the officials who took refuge in them died.
Who knew that Hou Junji was so greedy that he would make such a big commotion in Gaochang.
If Hou Junji died, all their investment in Hou Junji would be wasted.
Cui Zhifeng was taken aback, and asked, "Why?"
Cui Hao said: "Li Shimin is not a fool. If our people don't participate in the impeachment, it is impossible for him not to doubt it. If he intercedes for Hou Junji again, it is tantamount to telling Li Shimin that he is with us, and then he will really die. .”
If Li Shimin knew that Hou Junji had gotten involved with the aristocratic family, Hou Junji would have no chance of surviving.
Cui Zhifeng hurriedly said: "Then we don't care about Hou Junji?"
Cui Hao thought for a while and said, "It's not easy for us to participate in this matter, let King Wei try it."
No matter what, military power has always been what the aristocratic family longed for, and after finally winning over Hou Junji, he naturally didn't want anything to happen to Hou Junji.
Although Hou Junji is now only out of profit and does not want to join them, but since he is on board, it will be difficult to think about it.
……
After Lin Xuan left the palace, he went directly to the barracks.
After returning from the expedition, the soldiers returned home in batches, and there were not many people in the camp.
"Cool!"
Lin Xuan came to the tent, and before he entered, he heard Cheng Chumo's voice from inside.
The sound was too intriguing, but Lin Xuan knew that Cheng Chumo must be using saltpeter to make ice again.
Every time he drank ice water before, he had to make this sound.
Lin Xuan shook his head, opened the door curtain, and walked in.
"See General!"
Cheng Chumo and the others were a little surprised to see Lin Xuan coming in, and quickly got up to salute.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "I'm still planning to use this to make money, so don't let it out to me."
"make money?"
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up, and they said, "How to make money?"
The furniture shop they bought just before the expedition hadn't opened yet when they left, and they had already made a lot of money when they came back.
They didn't doubt Lin Xuan's ability to make money at all, and they were all interested when they heard Lin Xuan said that he wanted to make money.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "This year it won't work, you will find out next year."
It is already the beginning of August now, and the temperature has started to drop for more than a month at most.
And the saltpeter system seems to be miraculous, but it is very simple.
It's not cost-effective to do it now, so it's better to use this to make a fortune next year.
Seeing that they still wanted to ask more questions, Lin Xuan raised his hand to stop him, and said, "I have already reported the matter of Bai Diezi to His Majesty, and His Majesty said that after the verification, there will be a lot of rewards."
"Okay, fortunately Hou Junji didn't let us enter the city." Cheng Chu smiled silently.
Yuchi Baolin said: "Yes, otherwise we will be implicated by him."
Lin Xuan said with a half-smile: "Didn't you blame him for not allowing you to make meritorious service?"
"Forehead!"
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin scratched their heads in embarrassment.
"Ha ha!"
Seeing their expressions, Xue Rengui and Qin Huaidao burst out laughing.
Lin Xuan shook his head with a smile: "I will host a banquet at home tonight, and then I will add a merit award. Let's have a good get-together, and you, Rengui, will come too."
"General, there are still guards in the camp, so the subordinates should not go." Xue Rengui refused.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "There is no major event in the army, just ask others to watch over it. Tonight, you must go."
"Yes!"
Xue Rengui did not refuse again.
Thanks to Ying Sa and Boss Zombie for their monthly support.
Thanks for the 51 stone reward.
