The Northwest Frontier Affairs Bureau was formally established, and Li Shimin granted Yan Lide's house to Li You.

The research institute is in Taipingfang, and Yan Lide's house is in Qinrenfang, separated by three squares and Suzaku Street, and it is not a way to run at both ends.

With Li Shimin's consent, Li You moved the institute to Qinrenfang, built a wall in the middle of Yan Lide's house, and worked with the Northwest Frontier Taxation Bureau.

The first thing about the opening of the Northwest Frontier Affairs Bureau caused controversy in the court.

The rest days of court officials are 3 days a month, that is, 9 days of work and one day off. Li You was not used to this rhythm, so he changed the rest day of the research institute and the border bureau to once every 7 days.

The officials of the research institute and the border bureau are naturally very happy, and they inevitably go out to show off.

As a result, there were a lot of impeachment notes, and as a result, the imperial court's system of recuperation was also changed to once every 7 days.

Now, the officials in Chang'an are looking forward to His Royal Highness King Qi quickly coming up with something new so that everyone can impeach.

Li You usually works at the research institute, and his office has been transformed into a set of suites.

Outside is the reception desk, which is handled by a female receptionist. Then there is the guardhouse, where White Tiger and several guards are in charge of guarding.

Inside is the secretariat, then the reception room. Next up is Li You's office room. There are also three rooms in the office room, one for the dining room, one for the activity room, and one bedroom.

The secretariat is now all replaced by beautiful women, the director is Xiao Wanyu, and the secretary is Du Mei, Magpie and the daughters of two nobles.

After Li You's work, when he saw these beauties, he felt eye-catching and happy. This has nothing to do with the darkness in my heart, just a kind of appreciation.

Why were the women of the Tang Dynasty willing to come out to work?

The Tang Dynasty was a golden age for women. The Tang Dynasty had an open society, women were very self-conscious, and women participated more in social activities. In the feudal era when men were superior to women, they boldly pursued their status in society and the family.

Therefore, participation in social activities, such as serving as a female officer, is a fashion that reflects the status of women.

The clothing of women in the Tang Dynasty was mainly "open-chested clothes", the bandeau was very low, and the beauty of women's breasts was undoubted. Even in winter, women wear thick fur coats on the outside, but they still wear open-chested clothes on the inside.

This was unthinkable in other later feudal dynasties. The women of other dynasties did not allow women to show their breasts, even the collarbones on their necks.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was natural, beautiful, fashionable and noble. It can be seen that the cultural and ideological atmosphere at that time was open.

The clothing of women in the Tang Dynasty was beautiful, but the fly in the ointment was the shoes on their feet.

The shoes of the Tang Dynasty were high-top cloth shoes, thick and bulky, and they were only decorated on the head of the shoes, called high-headed shoes.

The women's high head shoes make various patterns on the high heads, which are called cloud head brocade shoes. With a wide Tang costume, it looks coordinated.

Li You is accustomed to seeing the simple leather shoes of later generations, and when he sees such bulky shoes, he feels uncomfortable.

Let's not talk about the countryside, the ground of Chang'an, even the largest Suzaku Street is hard land, there is a lot of dust in ordinary times, it rains and snows, and it is muddy.

Li You began to miss the feeling of wearing leather shoes.

Li You has long pondered the manufacture of leather shoes, and in the science and technology library, all the advanced shoe-making processes are clearly written, and the technology is not a problem.

The difficulty lies in the material.

The upper materials of shoemaking are cowhide, sheepskin, oil leather, etc., and high-end ones are alpaca, deerskin and wild boar leather.

The materials of the inner lining are pig lining, sheepskin lining, and pig skin lining. These are easy to do, but the sole material is more difficult.

The material of the sole can be leather sole, which has a delicate and smooth texture, good air permeability, good elasticity and bending, and smells fragrant; When wearing the back foot, it will feel very comfortable when touching the ground, it is elastic and breathable, can keep the foot dry, and can best reflect the high-end and taste of the shoe.

However, the disadvantage of the leather bottom is that it is not waterproof, and it is easy to deform after water seepage. There is no rubber, no plastic, which is destined to be in this era, leather shoes can not be universally promoted.

Therefore, Li You has not used this brain.

Now, when he saw the beauties in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he found a huge business opportunity.

The production of goods can be aimed at a specific group of people, and the same is true for leather shoes, which can be aimed at those nobles who are active indoors and have chariots and horses when they go out.

Thinking of this, Li You made up his mind.

Li You walked to the secretariat and said to Xiao Wanyu, "You guys, write down the size of your feet." ”

A few girls were a little embarrassed, I don't know what Li You asked a big man about the size of the girls' feet?

Xiao Wanyu asked, "Your Highness, what do you want this for?" ”

Li You said: "Not only yours, but also mine and Baihu's should be written, I want to make a new type of shoes, beautiful and generous, and each person will give you a pair for free when the time comes." ”

When the girls heard this, they all rejoiced.

Half a month later, Li You was working at the research institute, and the supervisor Zhao Fu led several craftsmen to come in with a large box. Under the guidance of Xiao Wanyu, he entered Li You's room.

Xiao Wanyu knew the rules very well, she led people to the door, and when she saw Li You, she went out.

It didn't take long for Zhao Fu and the others to leave.

Soon, Li You came to the secretariat wearing a pair of shiny leather shoes, and he smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, how about looking at my new shoes?" ”

"Wow", the girls' eyes widened one by one when they saw such simple and exquisite leather shoes. Everyone stared at Li You's feet and commented on the chatter,

Du Mei had a good memory and said, "Your Highness, didn't you say that you would also give us new shoes?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, what about ours?" The girls were full of anticipation, and there was another string of chirps.

Li You smiled: "You come with me." ”

When he arrived in the living room, Li You opened the big box, took out a pair of pointed-toe high heels, looked at the marked size, and said, "Du Mei, this is yours." ”

Then, I gave them all the high heels of several girls.

He said, "Try it and see if it fits?" ”

"Well, why don't you wear it?" Li You asked in confusion.

Xiao Wanyu blushed and said, "Your Highness, please go out first." "The girls were embarrassed to change their shoes in front of him.

"Huh?" Li You originally wanted to take the opportunity to admire the white and tender feet of the girls, but he was flatly declined. He returned to his room depressed.

"Ah, these shoes look so good."

"yes, how smooth this skin is."

"Oops, a little squeezed."

"Look, do I look good?"

……

A burst of swallow warblers.

Finally, the girls changed into high heels, and Xiao Wanyu said, "Your Highness, you can come out." ”
