Li Shimin was shocked by what Xia Hongsheng said about Qi Minzhi coldly, and he didn't say a few more words until the end of this experimental class, but kept pondering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Xia Hongsheng only said it to him in a voice that Li Shimin could hear, and no one else heard it.

Li Shimin was also silent, and after visiting a few laboratories, he asked Xia Hongsheng: "Xia Qing, I want to see how the cotton you said keeps out the cold." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, led everyone out of the last laboratory, and continued to walk behind. Behind that was a workshop specially built for the descendants of the Mo family. Because it was meant for Li Shimin to come to the academy to see this, everything was ready.

Xia Hongsheng pulled open a piece of linen, revealing the wooden box-type flower machine underneath, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a tool for processing cotton." ”

Then he opened a few more boxes, which contained dried cotton, and said, "Your Majesty, cotton is planted maturely, and this is what it is after flowering." This is cotton, which is picked, dried, and then fed into a bouncing machine. Wechen will show it to His Majesty. ”

After that, Xia Hongsheng glanced at Qi Yong, and Qi Yong immediately connected the incoming board, and then picked up the clumps of cotton in the wooden box and put them on the incoming board, spreading them flat.

Xia Hongsheng began to rotate the wooden wheel next to the wooden box, with the rotation of the wooden wheel, the incoming board tiled with cotton slowly entered the wooden box, only to hear a sound of bounce from the wooden box, on the other side of the wooden box, the wooden board came out, but the cotton on it was no longer a clump of Fangcai, but softly adhered into a whole piece of flocculent.

"Your Majesty, I want to bounce the cotton like this, and then I can spin and weave cloth." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "Time is limited, and the process of spinning and weaving cannot be demonstrated, just like an ordinary glance. Your Majesty, this is cloth woven from cotton. Compared to linen, cotton is softer, more comfortable to wear, warmer, and more hygroscopic, breathable, and easier to dye and finish. ”

Xia Hongsheng took out a piece of cloth and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the cotton cloth, raised his hand and touched it, and said in surprise: "It's really much softer to start!" Come and touch it and take a look! ”

Everyone came and took the cotton cloth and felt it and touched and tugged at it.

Nearby, someone had already taken out a piece of clothing.

"Your Majesty, cotton is better for keeping out the cold. Weichen will show His Majesty the padded jacket and cotton pants. Xia Hongsheng said.

Everyone looked over and saw two young heirs of the Mo family holding the whole dress, which had two layers of cloth, but the two layers of cloth were not sewn together. I saw the two of them take the elastic cotton and start to spread it between the two layers of cloth of the clothes. After it is covered, the top layer of cloth is covered, and then the needle and thread are quickly sewn together.

"Your Majesty, in order to let Your Majesty see it quickly, here is just a cotton heart inside, if it is really made into clothes to wear, there will be more stitches to avoid the cotton inside running away, and a layer of good-looking clothes will be put on the outside." Xia Hongsheng said.

Someone had already brought chairs here, and everyone made them, waiting for the young heirs of the Mo family to sew cotton jackets and cotton pants.

"I looked at Jingyang Academy today, and there are many things that I am surprised by, and there are many things that I don't understand." While waiting, Li Shimin sighed and said to Xia Hongsheng: "On the green lawn of Zhenguan Academy, there are miscellaneous stones to decorate, and there are epigrams engraved on it, including the sentence 'Gou Rixin, **** new, and Rixin'. I look at Jingyang Academy today, and I think this sentence is the most appropriate. I have never seen such a college, such a course, such a gentleman. Everything in Jingyang Academy is new to me. It seems that I should take more time out of my future to come to Jingyang Academy to have a look, so as not to fall behind. ”

"Things are constantly changing and evolving, new things appear, and old things die out. The new steelmaking replaced the hundred steel, the steel crossbow replaced the wooden arrow, the gasoline replaced the tung oil, the kerosene replaced the lamp oil, the firearm replaced the rubble, and the ironclad ship replaced the old wooden ship......" Xia Hongsheng left Li Shimin with a question: "Your Majesty, how can we not be replaced, at least, in our limited life?" ”

Li Shimin was silent for a while, but listened to Xia Hongsheng say again: "The new steelmaking method has replaced the hundred steelmaking, and the blacksmiths who can't make new steelmaking will have no use, and the blacksmiths who can use the new steelmaking method will stay." The steel crossbow replaces the wooden arrow, and the soldiers who can't use the steel crossbow are useless, and the soldiers who can use the steel crossbow remain......"

"Gou Rixin, **** new, and new...... Li Shimin whispered a sentence in his mouth, then suddenly laughed, turned his head and said to the gangsters: "Hehe, you Aiqing, it seems that we can still breathe a sigh of relief!" Datang is new and new, and we have to be new and new together, so that we can have the ability to continue to protect this Datang! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Xia Hongsheng took the lead and bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, the mountain chief, the sewing is done." The people from the Mo family over there got up and bowed and said.

There are many people, and several people sew together, and the speed is naturally fast.

Xia Hongsheng smiled at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, please move your Majesty a little, let's try the effect of this clothing to keep out the cold."

"Oh? Where to try? Li Shimin asked.

"Ice cellar." Xia Hongsheng replied.

The ice-making place is also in this area, not far away, and everyone will arrive quickly. A small wooden hut outside the freezer, with several large blocks of ice already placed inside. As soon as the door opened, I suddenly felt a chill coming from the surface.

"Your Majesty, please also choose one, change into this clothes, enter the igloo, and try the effect of keeping out the cold." Xia Hongsheng saluted Li Shimin and said.

Before Li Shimin could speak, he saw Wei Chigong step out: "Haha, this novel object, let the minister try it for Your Majesty first!" ”

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Qing is loyal, it's just ...... Hehe, it's just that this clothes, I'm afraid Aiqing doesn't fit well! ”

Wei Chigong is tall and tall, he definitely can't wear this clothes.

Seeing that Wei Chigong couldn't wear it, Cheng Biting Jin was playing hard next to him.

Li Shimin looked at these courtiers who were eager to try, and then looked at the hut with several large ice cubes, and suddenly said: "Cotton clothes to keep out the cold are a big matter. Whether our soldiers can stay in Liaodong for a long time depends on this thing. Since Xia Qing entered the court, he has never disappointed me. This time, I also believe in Xia Qing. I'm going to put on the padded clothes myself and go in and try it! ”
