Looking at the strangely dressed emperor in front of him, Yang Gongren was heartbroken.
How could such a good hero like Mingjun have such a strange hobby? This is just like a savage costume!
If he hadn't seen that the emperor was still on the right side, he would have almost burst into flames. Your Majesty, you can't give up on yourself. Although you have Xianbei blood, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty that everyone recognizes!
Yang Gongren felt that he had to stop the emperor's peculiar hobby.
Before he could speak, Li Zhiyun took the lead and asked, "Can you see what's so wonderful about my clothes?"
Du Ruhui pursed his lips and said, "I think it's very convenient and not cumbersome."
"Brilliant!" Li Zhiyun nodded, then unbuttoned the buttons and showed the ministers how to put on their coats. Then he introduced them to the genuine leather pin-buckle trousers belt and the specially sewn circles on the trousers.
After burning incense, the ministers barely understood the benefits of this new style of clothing. In their opinion, it was indeed very convenient, but it was still difficult to accept it.
Because they are used to walking and feeling the fluttering hem, or the gentlemanly style of wide sleeves fluttering with a wave of their hands.
But it's hard for them to like His Majesty's new Tang suit.
Because the sleeves of the new Tang suit are too small, like the rolled-up sleeves worn by villagers in the mountains when doing farm work, it looks uncivilized and not as chic as the big sleeves.
Moreover, the top was too short and the trousers were too long and could not cover the crotch, which made people feel very rude. If the fabric had not been solid, they would have thought the emperor was wearing a middle coat.
In the Tang Dynasty, a gentleman's clothes generally consisted of an inner garment, a middle garment, and an outer garment.
Underwear is underwear, narrow sleeves and collar, and short underwear.
The middle coat has narrow sleeves and a crossed collar, medium trousers, or a medium skirt.
Outerwear is just big sleeves and long robes, no matter how you float, you will be attractive.
Now the emperor's body is very convenient, and he can wear the clothes by himself, but it is still difficult for people to accept it.
Xue Shou reminded: "Your Majesty, if you dress like this, the Ministry of Rites may not accept it."
The hidden meaning is, boss, we can’t engage in spectacles, spectacles will harm the country!
Li Zhiyun had long expected that the new Tang suit would be difficult to accept for a while, so he asked someone to get a wide-sleeved coat and put it on, covering the entire Mao suit.
"Now, how?"
Yang Gongren's old face relaxed, "Very good, very good."
As long as His Majesty the Emperor doesn't go out wearing Chinese clothes, everything will be easy to discuss.
It's not impossible to use this new Tang suit as a middle coat, it should be quite warm.
What Li Zhiyun considered was that changing customs would have to take time and be done slowly. It would definitely not work to force them to wear new Tang suits all at once.
Everyone sat down again, and Li Zhiyun said with a smile: "The reason why I asked the queen to make me this new Tang suit is mainly because during the war in the past, I found that it was very inconvenient for the soldiers to wear plate armor. If this suit can be popularized
It will save a lot of trouble in the army."
I see.
The ministers suddenly realized.
If it is to promote the military, that is completely acceptable.
People in the Tang Dynasty were not exclusive, but were very willing to accept new things, especially things that were useful to them.
The reason why they couldn't accept it for a while before was mainly because they felt that the clothes they were wearing were not too troublesome and there was no need to change them.
However, Li Zhiyun is confident that after they all wear this new style of Tang suit, which is comparable to a coat, they will gradually abandon the wide-sleeved coat.
Because the new Tang suit clothes are obviously more convenient. Especially when going to the toilet, it is extremely convenient.
Li Zhiyun looked constipated when he thought about going to the toilet. It's not that he was really constipated, but because going to the toilet is really a cumbersome thing in this era.
Why do I have to change clothes when I go to the toilet?
Because it is easy to get feces.
At the end of the spring plowing in the Tang Dynasty, news came from Goguryeo that Yuan Gaisuwen and Gao Jianwu had a dog-eat-dog fight, and the fight was quite fierce.
The news came back from frontline war correspondent Li Junxian, the governor of Songmo. It can be regarded as first-hand accurate news and quite true.
The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who instigated internal strife were in a panic, as if they were not responsible for such immoral things, and as if they did not hear the envoy sent by Gao Jianwu in Honglu Temple shouting for His Majesty the Emperor for help.
Everything is normal, and what is normal makes people feel not so normal.
After the fight between Gao Jianwu and Yeon Gaesumun, the two parties unanimously sent people to ally with the generals in charge of the Tang Dynasty's troops on the border. However, the most convenient way was Yeon Gaesumun. Gao Jianwu had no choice but to go
Waterway, send an envoy to Chang'an to remind the boss to send troops.
When the boss asks anything at this time, he just replies, "I can't come."
Or else, "This is the internal affairs of Goguryeo. We, the Tang Dynasty, have always been a country of benevolence and righteousness, and a teacher of justice. How can we interfere in the internal affairs of other countries without authorization? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, it's extremely inappropriate."
Then, Li Zhiyun made a U-turn and ordered someone to sell a batch of eliminated arrows to Gao Jianwu at a 10% discount. On the other hand, Li Junxian was also training soldiers and horses in the Fuyu City area while privately selling the eliminated ordnance of the Tang Dynasty to Yuan Gaisuwen.
.
The military and horse weapons of the Tang Dynasty have been in a period of major transformation in the past two years. Due to the war in the past few years, large-scale production of plate armor was not possible, but in the past two years, due to the elimination of the stubborn resistance elements in the grassland, a large number of
Slaves and "relief for work" during disaster relief have led to a rapid increase in military output.
In the past, plate armor could only be equipped by elite cavalry, but now it has become common among ordinary guardsmen.
The eliminated chain armor was directly melted and recast.
Li Zhiyun is not an idiot. He will sell chain armor, bright light armor, or core crossbows and other weapons to Yeon Gaesumun.
At present, the weapons traded with Yuan Gaisuwen and Gao Jianwu are either cloth armor or rattan armor that even a dog would not look at, or old-fashioned arrows from more than ten years ago. All the new arrows in the Tang Dynasty were produced on the workshop assembly line.
It is made in a unified manner, not only at low cost, but also far more powerful than the old-fashioned arrow.
If the arrow is lost, it cannot be melted and recast. It does not contain much iron, so we might as well just sell it and make a profit.
As for cloth armor, this thing is no longer needed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Not all Tang Army soldiers today can wear plate armor, but ordinary iron armor is still no problem. What's more, after killing the grassland, Li Zhiyun reorganized
The Fan army left its elite behind and drove some of the soldiers back home to work in the fields.
This is the benefit of the military system.
When he is free, he fights, and when he is busy, he works on farming. When war breaks out, he brings his own soldiers, horses and weapons and goes out with the army.
Li Zhiyun provided them with war horses and weapons, and they only needed to farm and train.
In other words, the hundreds of thousands of troops currently stationed in the Tang Dynasty are truly elite soldiers.
Not to mention one is worth ten, at least he is proficient in bow and horse.
To be honest, Goguryeo's poor Gada didn't have much to gain. According to Li Zhiyun's guess, when the Goguryeo people took out all the little possessions they had saved, they would probably start biting people with their teeth.
But, it doesn't matter.
Li Zhiyun sincerely wishes that they can play longer.
There is nothing faster than making war fortune. In just one month, he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Tang Dynasty Qing Dynasty's inventory, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Military Supervision, and Ministry of Industry all got a sip of soup.
Comfortable.
Gao Jianwu never got a response from Datang, and he finally understood that the Tang emperor was delaying him.
Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and continue to fight with Yeon Gaesumun.
There was no way, Datang was just entertaining him, but Yeon Gaesumun wanted to kill him.
Yeon Gaesumun himself also figured out that the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses were training in Buyeo City just for show, and had no intention of helping Gao Jianwu.
So he let go of his hands and feet to fight Gao Jian.
