Datang: I am a restaurant owner and a general who governs the country.

Listened to Li Chengqian's question.

Chu He glanced at the other party in surprise.

I didn't expect this kid to think of such a usage.

In fact, Chu He has already thought about this question.

His original intention of making padded jackets was first to provide them to the people to protect them from the cold.

Of course, there is definitely a fee.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Moreover, making padded jackets also requires materials, manpower, material resources, and so on.

The second is to provide it to the army.

With the tools to keep warm, the soldiers can only preserve their combat strength in the bitter cold.

For example, there are some foreigners.

Likes to use animal fur as clothing.

They can also fight bravely in the cold winter.

But it can't be popularized at all in Datang.

Due to the different geographical locations, the alien race originally raised cattle and sheep for a living, and naturally had more furs.

And in Datang, if you want each soldier to have one set in your hand, it is simply unrealistic.

Detect Chu He's gaze.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Chu, did I say anything wrong?"

"No!"

Chu He shook his head and said with emotion: "What you said is very good.

"You can think of this, it seems that the time you have followed me has not been in vain.

Li Chengqian nodded seriously.

The relationship between the two is good, and they are also teachers and friends.

Although Li Chengqian didn't say it on the surface, he regarded Chu He as a mentor and friend.

Now that he has been recognized by Chu He, he is also very satisfied.

What was Li Shimin's intention in letting him follow Chu He in the first place?

It was nothing more than to let him have some experience.

Now it seems.

Li Chengqian has indeed learned a lot of things.

"That's what I was going to do.

"Cotton clothes, quilts, can be a set.

Chu He said slowly: "Because it is made of cotton, it is very lightweight.

"When you are marching and fighting, you can carry it on your back at any time, which is very convenient. "

Finished.

Chu He joked: "And the elasticity of cotton is good."

"It can also be used as a shield against bows and arrows, swords and spears, which is very useful.

After Li Chengqian listened, his eyes lit up.

He was quite excited and said, "Brother Chu, can you leave this matter to me?"

He meant that he would be in line with the emperor.

After all, in Chu He's cognition, the old Li family is doing things for Li Shimin.

Now Li Chengqian is saying this just to behave well.

As soon as this remark came out.

Li Tai's face changed.

Unexpectedly, he was preempted by Li Chengqian.

He subconsciously looked at Chu He, expecting the other party's reaction.

Seeing Chu He nodded, Li Tai's face suddenly turned like ashes.

He felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

He has always been very proud of himself, proud of his talents.

In his eyes, he is the best of all the princes.

But since following Chu He, he realized that he was useless.

Let's not talk about Li Chengqian.

Let's just talk about Li Ke.

Now he is still repairing books in the restaurant.

Although it is a time-consuming and laborious job.

But because of this, it has been valued by Li Shimin.

But what about himself?

nothing.

Even the current credit was preempted by Li Chengqian.

His heart was in a state of confusion.

"Yes!" Chu

He nodded and said, "But not now."

"Now the supply is insufficient, and it is impossible to supply it to the army, so we can only wait for a while." "

The number of troops is very large, and it will definitely be in short supply all at once.

It's winter, and it's snowing on the other side of the frontier.

And the soldiers stationed in the territory are estimated to be still on duty in the snow at this time.

Soldiers, is respectable.

It is precisely because of the military that the people can live a peaceful life.

It is precisely because of this that Chu He readily agreed to Li Chengqian's request.

The army is the guarantee of the country.

And Chu He is also the general of the Tang Dynasty.

He planned to give priority to the cotton clothes to the soldiers on the frontier.

Li Chengqian naturally understood this truth, and also nodded.

I have my own calculations in my heart.

While the crowd was discussing.

Li Lizhi on the side was thoughtful.

She's smart.

A question suddenly came to mind.

So he couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Chu, since these cotton are so useful. "

Then can we grow it ourselves?"

Li Chengqian and Li Tai also looked at Chu He.

They are also quite curious about this question.

If you can grow it yourself, you won't have to worry so much in the future.

"Of course you can!" Chu

He nodded and affirmed.

Although cotton has not yet been popularized, cotton does not have high requirements for the growing environment.

In general, it can be planted as long as it is not in the hot south.

But for planting, the first thing you need is seeds.

"We'll talk about this later!"

Chu He waved his hand and said, "If you want to be self-sufficient, you also need to cultivate seeds.

"And what we know at the moment is only available in Shen San's hometown.

"After a while, let Shen San bring some seeds."

"The ones they bring in alone are a drop in the bucket.

"Brother Chu, then I'll ......"

Gollum----

Li Chengqian had to say more.

But an untimely sound of hunger rang out.

Everyone looked at Li Liqing.

The latter bowed his head.

Chu He smiled: "Let's talk about it after eating!"

......

Another day in Qingshui Village.

Chu He finally got his wish and got the padded jacket and bedding.

He took a total of ten sets.

Today he decided to leave for Chang'an.

On the road.

Chu He was dressed in a thick cotton jacket, and his waist was much straighter.

Compared to when I came, I feel much better now.

Really.

In this kind of weather, you should wear a big cotton jacket.

The padded jacket is very long, like a robe, which covers the feet directly.

As soon as he returned to the restaurant, Li Chengqian went back to the palace directly.

And Li Tai.

It's listless as soon as you come back.

Let him do things absent-mindedly.

Chu He couldn't stand it anymore.

When he found Li Tai, he asked, "What's the matter with you?"

......" Li Tai was silent.

Half an hour later.

Li Tai suddenly asked, "Sir, do you think I'm useless?"

Chu He looked at him with some surprise.

Puzzled: "Why do you think so?"

Li Tai smiled bitterly: "Li Yang, he is busy repairing books and has his own things to do." "

And my eldest brother, who is also busy with the things that Mr. handed over to him now, I ......"

Speaking of this, Li Tai shook his head.

He's been thinking about this for the past two days.

What the hell should

he do, and what can he do?

So much so that when he came back, he was in a daze.

I didn't even go to grab credit with Li Chengqian.

Oh.

I see.

Feelings this little brother is too idle.

It's a pain to be idle, so you can think about what you don't have.

That's right.

Once you are free, you will be cranky.

This little brother in front of him is like this.

Looks like he's going to find something to do.

Chu He thought for a moment and said, "First of all, you have to understand.

"What you will do, what you can do, you have to think about that.

"Secondly, what kind of person you want to be.

Chu He looked at the young man and said puzzledly: "Have you considered this question?"

Regarding the question of the Chu River, Li Tai is very sure.

He wants to be the one who sits on the dragon chair and is in charge of power.

He's been working on it before.

Of course.

His efforts are how to please Li Shimin.

He also always thought he had a good chance.

But since Li Chengqian followed Chu He, he has often been praised by Li Shimin.

This made him feel in crisis.

Even Li Ke was valued by his father at this time because of the matter of repairing books.
