Chapter 699: [Heating Gloves]

...

Li Ji seems to have been in contact with him several times, but Li Chengqian has not had a deep impression of him.

The person who can push up when Hou Junji is pulled down should be a qualified, capable, and loyal person.

After confirming Li Ji's list, Old Li summoned Li Ji to the palace to discuss the matter.

At least I’m discussing something, I’m afraid it’s related to taking over the job and cooperation.

Since then, Li Ji has become Li Jing's tyrant. When Li Chengqian met Li Jing several times, he saw Li Ji following Li Jing.

There were several meetings that were not very core, and Li Ji also participated.

The weather slowly became colder as time passed, and Li Chengqian put on thick clothes.

However, the Tang Dynasty's clothes were not very warm. After wearing several pieces, the air conditioner still felt like the air conditioner was penetrated into the clothes. Su Mi took out a fur coat and put it on for Li Chengqian.

"Cotton tweed, is there any cotton?" Li Chengqian asked Su Mi.

Su Mi shook her head and said, "Your Highness, the cotton has been beaten into a quilt!"

The cotton was only a few acres. After picking it, Li Chengqian took it all and bounced it into a cotton quilt. There were only more than ten pieces. He sent it to the queen, younger brother and sister. In the end, there were only two pieces left. He was supposed to give it to friends like Cui Yi, but there were too few left. So Li Chengqian gave it to Gui'e and one piece to the Wu family. Thinking of Wu Runniang's cute appearance, Li Chengqian couldn't bear to have her freezing.

With so many quilts, those cotton can be made. It’s already good. Where can I get the cotton left?

Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Li Chengqian was still thinking about making a cotton coat. It seemed that there was no chance!

However, leather jackets are also warm, so Li Chengqian doesn't pursue so much. If cotton is planted next year, it will be used for cotton.

But at the end of November, the weather suddenly became five or six degrees colder overnight, which was a bit unbearable.

Li Chengqian would go to court early every morning. When the cold wind blew, he wore a fur jacket and then put on court clothes outside. It was not cold, but his hands exposed outside were frozen.

So Li Chengqian was thinking, it would be great if he could make a pair of cotton gloves.

There is no cotton anymore, Li Chengqian finds a way.

After getting off the morning court, he went to the room, took out scissors, cut a hole in the quilt, and then took out a lot of cotton.

After taking it out, go find the tailor, draw the gloves, and let them make five or six pairs.

In two days, the gloves came out.

Li Chengqian put it on and tightly, and Su Mi put it on and loosely, but she can use it as long as she can.

Several important figures in the East Palace were sent down, one by one, one pair of gloves. Everyone was happy for Li Chengqian's wonderful ideas.

At night, Su Mi whispered: "Your Highness, I will wear gloves tonight so that I won't freeze you!"

So at night, Su Mi really put on gloves, and Li Chengqian felt the fabric swim around him, and it felt very uncomfortable.

"Don't take it off!" Li Chengqian grabbed her hand, then took off the gloves and threw them away.

He then took Su Mi's hand, entered his arms, and said, "It's hot!"

The feel after heating up is indeed good.

So from this day on, Li Chengqian had an extra job every night, just to cover his wife's hands, otherwise his life would be unhappy.

The next day, Li Chengqian wore gloves and went to the morning court.

"Hey, what is your highness wearing?" A voice sounded.

Li Chengqian looked to go, Hou Junji.

"It turned out to be Hou Shangshu. I was wearing gloves and made of cotton." Li Chengqian said with a smile to him.

Hou Junji stared at his gloves for a long time. During this process, his hands were rubbing because of the cold.

At this time, he said, "It's getting colder. The people who are waiting for the court are old and young. Everyone's hands are too cold to bear. Everyone has to rub their hands from time to time like me. But I just saw Your Highness, but it doesn't matter at all. Could it be that the gloves are the credit?"

Hearing his hand like this, Li Chengqian glanced at the others. Sure enough, they were all like Hou Junji, rubbing their hands from time to time. Even if their hands were hidden in the sleeves, they could see the sleeves moving.

Wearing a winter costume, the sleeves are still long, and the hands are hidden inside. While rubbing hands, you can see the clothes on your abdomen moving rhythmically. If people who don’t know and have a bit of modern common sense see it, they think these high-ranking officials are so dirty that they have no limits!

"I wonder if your highness can lend me gloves to me!" Hou Junji said in a pleading manner.

Li Chengqian was stunned. Hou Junji had been talking for a long time. Could it be that he was here to deprive him?

But the other party was also a person, so he came to invite them. Can Li Chengqian say he would not give it to him? So Li Chengqian took down his gloves and gave it to Hou Jun to collect.

Hou Junji is a person Li Chengqian is investigating recently, but isn’t this not the order from Lao Li yet? So everything in the investigation is kept confidential. Of course, this meeting is treated as usual.

After putting on the gloves, he exclaimed and said, "This thing is such a treasure, it's so warm!"

After saying that, his shiny eyes looked at Li Chengqian.

Seeing that Hou Junji looked like he was going to take off his gloves, Li Chengqian found such an excuse as soon as he put it on.

The expression on Gang Hou Junji's hand was really surprised, it didn't look fake, Li Suishi was stunned.

He then thought that the gloves were out of his hands just now, so of course the gloves were covered with his body temperature.

Hou Junji's hands were frozen outside for so long, and the temperature on his hands was probably very low. So when his cold hands encountered the body temperature gloves, the effect of course suddenly came out.

"Shangshu Hou, this is not how warm the gloves are. It's just that when they took off my hands just now, it was just that my temperature was on them!" Li Chengqian explained to him and walked into the Tai Chi Hall. "The function of gloves is just like clothes. After putting them on, you can keep your hands warm!"

He also scanned Hou Junji for common sense blind spots: "Clothes cannot produce heat to people. Their role is to wrap around the human body and retain the temperature of the human skin."

He pointed to the gloves and said, "The same is true for gloves. When you wear them on your hands, you keep your hands warm so that the heat of your hands cannot be escaped and the wind outside cannot be blown!"

"So that's the case. Why didn't I expect it!" Hou Junji said with emotion.

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes secretly and thought, "You can't think of it, come and rob my stuff?"

But he didn't say this.

"It's cold now. Soldiers in the north are afraid that their hands are full of frostbite. When winter comes, they may not even be able to pick up the knife weapon." Hou Junji looked at the gloves on his hands beloved and said, "If soldiers in the north have such a pair of gloves, then they can protect their hands!"

Li Chengqian was stunned. Hou Junji talked for a long time and it turned out that he was not envious of his gloves, but thought of the soldiers from the north.

From this point of view, Hou Junji is also considered a person who does practical things.

But thinking that if you don’t do practical things, you will never be able to climb to this position.

Hou Junji asked, "Your Highness, can you teach me how to make this glove? Let me give it to the soldiers in the north?"

He remembered the cotton and asked, "This cotton is the white fold that His Highness mentioned. I wonder where the white folds I used not long ago, can I hand them over to make gloves?"

Of course, all the cotton was made into cotton. Now it was handed over to the queen, the eldest sister and the others used it on the bed. And after using it, they all received good reviews.

Seeing Hou Junji's urgent appearance, he was going to requisition cotton from Li Chengqian.

Did Li Chengqian even take out all the quilts and use them for him?

"Your Highness, Secretary Hou, what are you talking about?" Li Jing walked over and asked with a smile.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Jing. This old guy was doing something to kill Hou Junji, but when he met Hou Junji, he could smile. His Taoism was so profound that Li Chengqian admired him.

Li Jing's status is higher than that of Hou Junji. He quickly saluted and told Li Jing about his discovery of gloves. He also told Li Jing about his thoughts.

"Oh, Your Highness has invented something new, let me see!" Li Jing said.

Hou Junji took a glove from his hand and handed it to Li Jing. He wore one of his hands and didn't take it off.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but despise Hou Junji, and his character could be seen from one move.

"Well, I've worn it on Hou Shangshu's hands for a short time, and the gloves are so warm. It can be seen that gloves are really warm things. Wearing them on your hands in winter can prevent frostbite, which is indeed good!" Li Jing praised repeatedly.

"Yes, if it can be made now and delivered to the soldiers in the north, they can save the pain of coldness!" Hou Junji said.

Li Chengqian thought to himself, damn, if both of them agree, wouldn’t it be requisitioned by the military? Should he take back his dozens of quilts and hand them over to Hou Junji?

"The Secretary of Shangshu Hou's intention is for the sake of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It is really a blessing for them to have such a Secretary of Shangshu!" Li Jing said highly.

He changed his tone and said, "It's just that Hou Shangshu said this a little too anxious!"

"Oh?" Hou Junji was stunned.

"Oh?" Li Chengqian was stunned.

Li Jing said: "The soldiers in the north are tens of thousands of yuan, and each person needs to use at least two pairs. Then the number of gloves is 100,000 ministers, 100,000 pairs of gloves, and how much cotton is needed? Li has not calculated for the time being, but the cotton His Highness received in Nanlin Garden is only two or three acres, which cannot meet the needs of northern soldiers at all."

When Hou Junji was in a daze, he continued, "Even if there is enough cotton, now we will be able to make gloves with one hand. Then, it will be spring tomorrow for 100,000 pairs of gloves. Not to mention that after winter comes, it will snow in the north, and transportation will be inconvenient at that time!"
