My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 552 The People Are Suffering

Li Zhi called a maid, and directly took off a tether from the opponent's head. In the past, it was a simple ponytail.

"Okay, the hair is like this, put on your shoes quickly."

Li Zhi saw that she was wearing shoes, so he pulled a windproof cloak from the side of the bed, and put it on Queen Wang.

At this time, he directly hugged Queen Wang, and when he heard Wang Yan's scream, he walked out of the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, there are so many maids outside, it's not appropriate for you to hold Yan'er."

"What's inappropriate, the maids at the Lizheng Palace and the Wanchun Palace are the people I trust the most, and I'm afraid they won't be able to see it."

Li Zhi hugged Wang Yan, and the maids at the Wanchun Palace were no strangers to it. The emperor and the empress were used to fighting in the palace, not to mention hugging, even fighting.

The maids who were close to Li Zhi basically shared the bed with the empress and served His Majesty. It was really a frank meeting, and they looked at everything carefully. How could they have never seen His Majesty hugging the Empress.

As for the Lizheng Hall, you have to get used to the unruly actions of the Holy Majesty and the Empress, after all, His Majesty often goes there too.

At this time, he carried Wang Yan into the queen mother's bedroom of the Lizheng Palace, and Li Zhicai let her down.The girl had just landed on the ground, and was pulled by Li Zhi to the queen's side.

"Zhi'er, why are you here now?"

"Mother, look!"

As Li Zhi said, Wang Yan had already untied the cloak she was wearing, and as Her Majesty said, let the queen mother see the long skirt she was wearing.

"Is this pure cotton?"

"The queen mother has a good eye. I went to the bamboo garden today, and Zhi'er saw it. I've been busy recently, and many things were almost delayed. The skirt was hung there for a long time after it was finished, and Zhi'er only saw it today."

"Come, Yan'er, come to the queen mother!"

Wang Yan naturally walked over obediently, Empress Changsun lifted a corner of her skirt, held it in her hand, and then looked at Li Zhi.

"Yan'er, I have something to say with my mother, you go back to Wanchun Palace first, and warm the bed for me."

"Oh!"

Seeing that Wang Yan retreated, Li Zhi was originally sitting obediently on the chair next to the Empress Dowager, but now he simply sat on the hind legs of his mother, and the Empress Dowager slapped Li Zhi on the back. .

"You, I asked you to accompany Aunt Lin, but you refused to really accompany me, but you are always thinking about how to take advantage of Aunt Lin."

"Aunt Lin, what do you think of this dress?"

Li Zhi didn't say anything else, and asked about the skirt directly.

"The hand feel is not good, and the color is not very good."

"Of course there is no way to compare this with later generations, but it must be much better than Ma."

"That's true, Zhi'er, are you planning to spread cotton products to the common people to replace linen?"

"That's right, hemp is not very good at keeping out the cold. The queen mother looked at the land of Tang Dynasty. In a year, more people died of freezing than starving."

The Empress Dowager Changsun nodded and looked at Li Zhi. In this era, in winter, the problem of dressing is more important than eating.

In the later Tang poems, don’t there be rich wine and meat, and roads where bones are frozen to death? Here we are talking about freezing to death, not starving to death.

In fact, at this time, the people's food for a year is still barely enough. Although it is really tight, it is really not to the extent of being a refugee everywhere with a cane and a broken bag.

But this winter, there are very few items to keep out the cold. Rich people can still wear fur clothes and light charcoal for warmth, but ordinary people really can only rely on shaking.

The key point is that the civilian clothes of the people at this time refer to linen clothes, not cotton, which means that ordinary people wear linen in winter. This is something that people in the future have never seen. Think about the sacks carried by dock workers in TV dramas and movies. That's what hemp is made of.

This thing has no cold resistance at all. Since there is no cotton, it is naturally impossible for the bedding in the house to have cotton and other fabrics, let alone the quilt, even the quilt is full of holes, and blackened cotton wool is exposed in the holes. This kind of quilt nothing.

Then you can think about how sad the people are in winter. The winter at this time is really cold!

"Zhi'er, the queen mother also knows that you have a good heart, so you just do what you think in your heart and try to be a good emperor. Xing, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer. But a monarch with the people in his heart, how much can he do?" Let them have a good time."

"Zhi'er is doing his best, and I don't know how much cotton Anxi can produce this year."

"Don't just stare at cotton, the way to keep warm is not only cotton."

"My queen, I understand what my mother said, but there are some ways. The Tang Dynasty has no foundation at this time. It is still a little difficult to supply coal. It's just a small amount of supply. It's barely enough, but it's difficult to supply a large area."

"Okay, Zhi'er, you're going back too. Whatever you do, the queen mother will support you, and the queen mother can't help you much, but I will also sit with your uncle and those old officials on weekdays, and let them help you as much as possible." , or try not to hold you back."

"Queen, do you know what Zhi'er misses most?"

"Let the soldiers wear cotton padded clothes, is it easy to fight?"

"Hey, it's comfortable to talk to the queen mother."

As Li Zhi said, he wrapped his arms around the back of his mother's neck, kissed her on the cheek, got up and left the Lizheng Hall.

The Empress Dowager, the eldest grandson, looked at him, after all Zhi'er was young.Young people have the energy to make a breakthrough, it doesn't matter if they make a breakthrough, the world is so big, it is enough for him to make a breakthrough.

One day, this kid will really take himself for a walk along the Nile River, and lie down under the sunset in the Mediterranean Sea, blowing the sea breeze.

The key point is that this child has a good heart, which is the best thing, otherwise, I'm really afraid that he will do something absurd.

To be an emperor, you can actually keep the bottom line, and the emperor is still very easy to do.

When Li Zhi returned to Wanchun Palace, the Queen who was lying in bed got up early to wait for Li Zhi to change his clothes.

At the dawn of the second day, someone dozed off and returned to the Wanchun Palace. After such a long time, from the prince to the emperor, he was still not used to the early court. Every morning was when Li Zhi was most confused.

I really want the spring night to be bitter and the day to be high, and the king will not go to court early from now on!However, Li Zhi really didn't want to be a foolish king. After all, he traveled once and became the king of the Tang Empire. It would be so boring to want to be a foolish king again.

I really only want to be happy for myself, even if I skip the morning court, if I indulge in wine and sex every day, this country will be abolished.

It doesn't seem right, you still have to enjoy it, but you can't waste your business just because of enjoying it.This is called work and entertainment.

Today Li Zhi just arrived at Wanchun Palace when he saw Qiu Ju standing outside the gate of Wanchun Palace.

"Qiu Ju, the queen mother is looking for me?"

"Your Majesty, King Wei came to the Empress Dowager early in the morning today, and Qiu Ju seems to have heard King Wei say that he wants to go to fiefdom."

"Go to the fief!"

Li Zhi's hand tightened for a moment, and finally let go.
