Chapter 18 Ashina Simo
The majestic city walls in Chang'an are already in front of you, and the majestic city stands, which adds a sense of insignificance.
Li Simo looked up at the city gate tower and unconsciously lowered his horse speed. When he thought of entering the palace to pay homage to His Majesty and to Khan Tian, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Since the demise of the Eastern Turks, Li Simo and Jie Li Khan were captured by the Tang army together, but were appreciated by His Majesty Li for their loyalty and were given the surname Li. They were first named General of Right Wuhou and Governor of Huazhou, and later named Prince of Huaihua.
I have to admire His Majesty Li Er's way of being a ruler and subject, and I have to sigh at the political style of the early Tang Dynasty. At that time, both Han and Hu people were proud of being the people of the Tang Empire. There were countless famous Hu generals who fought for the country, but there were few rebellions.
Therefore, Li Simo is grateful and loyal to His Majesty Li Er.
But His Majesty Li Er wanted to move the Turks and Hu to settle the states, cross the Yellow River and go north, and restore the country. He thought that the Tang Dynasty was in danger, but Li Simo could not feel any glory, and he felt a hundred unwillingness in his heart.
Things change quickly, and the Eastern Turks are no longer the same as before. There are only tens of thousands of households and more than 40,000 soldiers. How dare you face Xue Yantuo, who has a strong rise, dominates Mobei and has won 200,000 soldiers?
Moreover, the Eastern Turks are a tribal alliance. Even if Li Simo was named Khan by His Majesty Li Er, he would not have a strong appeal and control over those tribal chiefs.
If you use the future and have interests, they will hang out with you; if you are cannon fodder, they will still listen to you? In other words, Li Simo is also unsure whether he can convince the public.
This time when I met with the emperor, Li Simo planned to express his feelings to His Majesty Li Er and tell him all kinds of difficulties. He hoped that His Majesty Li Er would change his mind and not give me the Khan's hat!
"Father, this Chang'an is so lively!" The slightly tender voice next to him interrupted Li Simo's thoughts, but it was the emotion of his son Ashina Wuzhong.
This kid is eleven years old and looks very strong, but he has never been to Chang'an or seen the bustling scene with crowds of people and shops everywhere.
Li Simo smiled bitterly and said, "It is more appropriate to say that it is prosperous. If you go to that market, it may be called lively."
Oh, Asuna Wu Zhong responded, feeling that he was not very proficient in Chinese, so he turned his head to pay attention and just watched the "lively".
Alas, Li Simo sighed secretly. For several years, the Turkic tribes have lived a very comfortable life south of the Yellow River. Although they are not as good as Chang'an, they are not as bitter and cold as the desert grasslands. There is a lot of resistance to migration from thousands of miles!
In the restaurant next to the road, Xu Qilin and two maids were eating, drinking and resting. Through the window, they saw the team that Li Simo was meeting.
"Look, those horses are really good." Scarlett pointed outside and said, "If Alang rides on it, it will definitely be majestic."
Xu Qilin looked at it and said with a smile: "This must be given to His Majesty by Li Simo. It may be difficult to get it."
Scarlett said, "Let's try it. Alang is very favored by His Majesty. It's not an exaggeration to get a good horse, right?"
Xu Qilin looked at the majestic and good horses in the team and couldn't help but covet. Why not try it? "BYD" is replaced by "Mercedes-Benz", which makes you look so good!
Well, if this Li Simo is sent to be a guard dog by His Majesty Li Er, he will definitely be unwilling to do so. Tens of thousands of tribes are migrating, and His Majesty Li Er will have to take out a lot of money and food. His own way of making money can be related to Li Simo.
After thinking about it, Xu Qilin felt that it was worth a try for "Mercedes-Benz". He opened his mouth and made a profit, and it would be enough to not give it. Besides, he didn't want it for nothing. He dedicated this way to make money to Li Er, and he would suffer a great loss when changing a horse.
Well, and wait until the afternoon, after His Majesty Li Er met Li Simo, he would go to see him again.
Xu Qilin had settled his mind, and withdrew his eyes, slowly ate and drank, his mind was still improving the way to make money.
………………………….
The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basic needs of people. Make money on this, seize the greatest chance and have the greatest chance.
The ranking of clothing does not mean that it has surpassed the people's "food is the most important thing", but the importance is beyond doubt.
In ancient times, especially in winter, cold-proof clothing and cold-proof measures were not complete, and it was common for ordinary people to die of freezing and frostbite.
You should know that cotton began to grow in the Tang Dynasty, and cotton jackets began to weave cloth in the Song Dynasty.
In the winter of the Tang Dynasty, rich people wore furs and medium-sized families wore robes and jackets made of silk cotton. Ordinary people had to go out less or use paper clothes to keep warm.
Therefore, most people live a hard life in winter. A poem describes that the north wind is as good as a sword, and the body is covered with catkins and does not cover it. Only the fire of thorns and fires are burned, and they sit at night and wait for the morning. Even in Chang'an, there is still "there are bones frozen on the road" in winter.
After the Gaochang period is finished, you can obtain cotton seeds and cotton farmers who can grow cotton. However, if you have to plant them in the Central Plains, weave cloth and coats, and make small cotton jackets, it will be difficult to popularize the public after three to five years of production.
The ready-made cold-proof object that can temporarily replace cotton is wool. Although there was the technology of manufacturing felt at that time, it was just a simple suppression, which was both thick and heavy, and could not be used to make clothes at all.
Therefore, what Xu Qilin thought of was the fine processing of wool, producing textiles such as wool, wool, and wool yarn, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty could also be "warm as spring" in winter.
More importantly, the hot alkali has been made to wash hair and remove grease, and scratch the impurities. As for spinning and weaving cloth, our ancestors have been working for hundreds of years. Xu Qilin only needs to improve some machines and everything will be fine.
Fa Ge's style tweed or wool coat, and a wool sweater inside, are all 100% pure wool and have no chemical fibers. Is it cool enough to wear it? Can it attract attention?
That feeling is simply...
After taking a nap, after washing up, Xu Qilin headed straight to the palace. He changed his car, and I am really looking forward to it!
But he did not expect that Li Simo was still in the Tai Chi Palace. After His Majesty Li Er summoned him, he kept Li Simo and his son for lunch and began to present facts and reason. The central idea was to let him lead his troops and cross the river to the north.
What is "the world is used to build a screen and protect the frontier for a long time" and what is "China values etiquette and will never destroy the country. Since it is allowed to be established, it must not be trusted", finally brought out Li Simo's father and mother.
Li Simo secretly complained, if he had known this, why wouldn't he move his parents' tomb to the south of the Yellow River?
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er had made up his mind, Li Simo had no choice but to talk about difficulties and adopt the procrastination tactic.
This will not anger Your Majesty, and the situation may change. After a year or two, who knows whether they need to use them as a buffer?
