Chapter 353 Troublemaker

The shopkeeper was stunned by Li Hao's arrogant tone and said frankly: "A hundred people per pound."

"A hundred pounds per pound, why don't you rob it?" Li Hao admitted that he had money, but having money does not mean a big deal. He could buy several buckets of grain in Chang'an, but when he got here, he could only exchange for one pound of cotton, and there was no such thing as bullshit.

The shopkeeper almost broke his waist. If it weren't for the fact that Tiezhu's fist was relatively large, he would have the intention to drive people on the spot.

Resisting the disdain in his heart, the shopkeeper said, "This young general, you can't say that. The white dice from the shop has traveled thousands of miles from Gaochang."

Li Hao couldn't help but curl his lips: "It's something that admires foreign countries and fascinates foreign countries. The Tang Dynasty is not long. It's necessary to come from Gaochang. Is your boss stupid?"

“…”.

You are stupid, your whole family is stupid, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes hard, and almost turned his eyes into his head: "Young general, please respect yourself, the owner of the shop is very important..."

"Oh, scare me? I'm so scared." A look of fear flashed across Li Hao's face, and he immediately said, "I forgot if you don't say it. You are a cloth shop in the Liang family. Your boss must be surnamed Liang, right?"

"Not bad." The shopkeeper said proudly.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows: "Liang Shidu's Liang?"

"Liang..." The shopkeeper shivered suddenly, looking at Li Hao with vigilance: "Who is the young general?"

Although his boss is not Liang Shidu, he has a lot to do with Liang Shidu. Now that the old things are brought up again, he has to be unscrupulous.

Seeing the shopkeeper's nervous look, Li Hao was amused: "Mr. Liang died at my hands. Who do you think I am?"

"The young general's surname is Changsun?" The shopkeeper began to sweat.

Li Hao said a word lightly: "Li."

The incident of extermination of Liang Shidu spread widely in the north, and few people were unknown, so Li Hao only claimed one surname, and the shopkeeper immediately guessed his identity: "It turned out that it was Prince Wei who was in front of him. The old man had no eyes on Mount Tai, and I hope the prince would forgive him for his crime."

"Forgive." Li Hao waved his hand in a relaxed mood. He originally planned to find trouble for the owner of the store with his name, but he was recognized before he even started.

Seeing that Li Hao did not deny it, the shopkeeper immediately realized that he had guessed it right. He was overjoyed and hurriedly called them to the back house to serve them with good tea and water.

Li Hao was really frozen. He sat down and slugged for a long time before asking, "Shopkeeper, I don't think you are from a small family. I wonder who your boss is?"

The shopkeeper standing beside him quickly replied: "If you go back to the prince, the owner of the shop is indeed surnamed Liang and his two names are Luochuan."

Liang Luochuan? Li Hao thought hard and seemed to have never heard of this name. He shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. Could it be that it has anything to do with Master Liang?"

The shopkeeper dared not hide it: "Yes... are distant relatives."

"Oh, my distant dear." Li Hao nodded, and saw the shopkeeper's careful look, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be afraid. Since Your Majesty has not even pursued your boss, I naturally won't cause trouble for him."

"The prince is benevolent and righteous."

Li Hao waved his hand to stop the shopkeeper's praise: "Let's get one code and one code. Although this prince doesn't want to cause trouble for your boss, the prince in your store is determined to win."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "No problem, there are still about 200 kilograms of white folds in the shop. The prince needs to take them away."

Even if a pound of 200 kilograms of cotton is added together, it doesn’t cost much. It’s not that Li Hao can’t afford it. He just thought the shopkeeper was using himself as a sucker.

Now, the other party said he gave it for free, which immediately made him feel despised. He couldn't help but say annoyed: "Free gift? Shopkeeper, do you think this prince is short of your dozens of coins of money?"

The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, the villain has no meaning. Please listen to the villain's explanation."

"Tell me, it's not reasonable. Be careful that I have demolished your store."

"Yes." The shopkeeper had experienced the mood of the Chang'an nobles' children, wiped the cold sweat that appeared on his forehead and said, "Criminal, this matter is a villain who is greedy and plans to make a coincidence and get some benefits from the crown prince."

Li Hao frowned: "Benefits? What are the benefits I have for you?"

The shopkeeper's eyes dodged and said for a moment: "Uh..., that villain dared to ask the prince for the right to manage milk powder."

Milk powder... It turns out that the root of it is here. No wonder this old man acted so impatiently after guessing his identity. His feelings are about the milk powder business.

But then again, I was really too busy during this period and I forgot to have my own business in Dingxiang City, the Turks.

After understanding the shopkeeper's intention, Li Hao looked at him with some amusement and asked: "The businessman is a businessman. He actually knew so quickly that the milk powder business belongs to this prince, which is amazing."

"The prince is too awarded." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, and saw that Li Hao had no intention of objection, he immediately asked with a saliva face: "I don't know what the prince means..."

Li Hao nodded: "Okay, isn't it just a recipe for milk powder? I'll say hello to Lao Qian, just go find him. But we are ugly, the business of this milk powder is not my own. In principle, I don't object to you, but I won't give you too much care."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "No problem, as long as the prince agrees, the villain does not seek anything else, as long as he has the right to manage it."

I have to say that Lao Qian is really capable. He has done a good job in the milk powder business in just about one month. Everyone knows Yunzhou City, whether it is the border army, the government army, or the people.

Many Yunzhou businessmen saw the business opportunities and planned to get a piece of the pie.

However, the milk powder business has just begun, and the output is not high. Most of the milk powder is supplied to the border troops. The few remaining basics have been divided up by the officials of the prefecture. Even though the merchants are willing, they are not able to reach the starting point because they are too high.

The shopkeeper of the Liang family cloth shop who received the promise was very happy. Without Li Hao's instructions, he ordered people to load all the white stacks in the store onto a ox cart and send them to the camp outside the city. By the way, he also gave more than ten not-so-value linens for free.

In this regard, Li Hao not only lamented that the shopkeeper had a bright future, but also felt that his men were not enough.

When I left the city and returned to the military camp, I found that Hegan Chengji had not come back yet, but thinking about it, buying chickens and ducks all over the city did not seem to be easy.

Unloading the things I brought back and sending the Liang family's cloth shop back. Li Hao called out the two guards in the tent who had changed their posts and ordered: "You two go and ask, who has worked as a tailor in the camp before? If you have any, call them over. Don't be more skillful. Go and go back quickly."

"No!" The two big-headed soldiers didn't know what Li Hao was going to do, but they ran very fast.

It was not long, and about twenty people followed them back. One or two of them stretched their necks and looked at the pile of things piled up in the middle of the tent. No one could figure out what the new pioneer officer was going to do.

In fact, Li Hao himself didn't know what to do. Looking at the cotton and cloth on the ground, he kept sucking his teeth. After a while, he asked the confused big head soldier: "Who can make cotton coats, cotton pants, and gloves, stand up by yourself."

They looked at each other in a speechless manner.

The soldiers looked at each other for a long time, and someone plucked up the courage to ask, "General, what is a cotton coat?"

“…”

Li Hao glared at the guy with a grudge: "I don't know about the cotton coat? Have you never worn it?"

Everyone shook their heads together. There was no saying that cotton coats existed in the Tang Dynasty, so naturally no one could understand Li Hao's intentions.

Li Hao had no choice but to curse: "Are you all pigs? I really don't know how you survived for so many years, but you haven't been frozen to death. So, the so-called cotton coat is to put two pieces of clothes together and then stuff cotton in the middle. Do you understand now?"

Baji, the group of people continued to blink, obviously not understanding.

Li Hao has no idea at this moment. When he encountered such a group of waste snacks, he could only go on the battlefield and divide the crowd into three groups.

Those who know more about tailors are divided into groups. Their task is to cut the fabric; they are skillfully divided into groups. Their task is to remove seeds from cotton.

In an instant, everyone became busy. When Hegan Chengqian came back, the tent was already busy, and there were strong men with half-barbaric, sweaty heads, and lowered their heads to search.

There is no way, these kids are not the stuff they do. They are not afraid of even losing their heads when they are allowed to kill the enemy. But they are allowed to sit there and use their hands to draw cotton wool bit by bit, without even tools, which is even more uncomfortable than killing them.

Hegan Chengji looked at the black thread and asked wonderingly: "Dejian, what are you doing?"

Li Hao was busy studying how to get the cotton wool that was pulled into the mezzanine of his clothes. He was sweating all over and replied without even raising his head, "Hey, don't make a noise, you're making cotton coats."

"Cotton coat? What is that?"

Li Hao was almost worried at this moment, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Hegan Chengji. He waved his hands and said, "Hey, don't worry. If you really have nothing to do, you will pull off all the chickens and duck feathers you bought. If you don't have the feathers, you will need fine feathers."

Hegan Chengji mumbled and turned around and went out. If it weren't for knowing that Li Hao had made great achievements in his extraordinary skills, he would never have let this young man do this in the camp.

Fortunately, there are many people and the power is strong, and the whole camp has 3,000 ounces. After spending most of the hour, Li Hao finally realized and sent down the cotton. Each person had more than ten or twenty flowers. Under the threat of not being able to finish the cotton wool and not being allowed to eat, it took only about half a night to complete the work of removing all the cotton.

At this time, the few tailors were so big that they had cut more than twenty sets of clothing.

With the fabric and cotton wool, Li Hao didn't have to worry about what happened next. A few skillful guys naturally learned how to fry cotton and sew needles. In the middle of the night, the first set of cotton coats and cotton pants were finally released freshly.

I picked it up and weighed it. Good guy, I had more than ten pounds together, and I couldn't even bend my arms and legs when I put them on my body, and I was straight and straight.

This is definitely not possible, this one is obviously a lot of cotton tidbits.

So, the second cotton coat reduced the amount of cotton to about three pounds. After about an hour, I finally made a cotton coat that I could wear before dawn.

He called a big-headed soldier, put on his cotton coat and pants, and kicked him out of the tent, and he was happy to stand outside and never come back.

Hegan Chengji finally knew what Li Hao did this night, so he gave a thumbs up and said with a flattering look: "Awesome!"

Li Hao stared at a pair of red eyes and said proudly: "Then look, who we are, right?"

Hegan Chengji laughed: "Haha..., what I said is that I, Hegan Chengji, rarely convinced others in my life, but you, Li Dejian, are an exception. It's impossible for me to not accept it."

The emergence of cotton coats fundamentally solved the problem of soldiers keeping cold, greatly reducing the number of non-combat reductions, but also greatly improving morale.

As a general who led the troops, Hegan Chengji could not understand the benefits of this?

Li Hao also smiled and waved his hand and said indifferently: "Okay, I won't praise each other with you. You can watch what's next, I'll go to sleep for a while."

"Okay, go and rest, leave it all here to me."

More than 200 kilograms of cotton can make at least dozens of sets of cotton coats and trousers. Although it is impossible to arm all the soldiers, at least the soldiers on duty will not be frostbite.

In addition, the feathers of those poultry also came in handy. With the experience of making cotton coats, a batch of dozens of down jackets were soon made.

At this point, at least one-tenth of the vanguard army led by Li Hao were armed and their combat power was greatly improved.

But Li Hao didn't know that just when he and Hegan Chengji were messing with cotton clothes and trousers, the Yunzhou envoy had already sued them in front of Li Jing, the chief general of Dingxiang Road.

"What? Forcing the sale? Disturbing the people? This rebellious son is too brave." Li Jing slapped the letter in his hand on the table, looked up at the messenger in front of him and said, "You go back first and tell the Yunzhou Assassin that the chief supervisor already knows this matter, and he will send someone to investigate it when he turns back. If there is really such a matter, he will definitely give him an explanation."

"No, the villain took his leave." The messenger formally bowed and stood up and retreated.

Looking at his left back, Li Ji suddenly snorted: "This Yunzhou spear has such a great courage. With a letter, he sued the prince and the boy in your family. I don't know how many heads this person has."

Li Jing smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Mao Gong's words are bad. I'm afraid that this is a good intention. Otherwise, he could send the impeachment memorial directly to Chang'an."

Li Jie was obviously supported by conspiracy theory and sneered: "Pharmacist, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can guarantee that he did not send a letter to Chang'an?"

Li Jing said: "This is his local government affairs. Even if we are dissatisfied, we can't interfere in local government affairs. However, I think Hegan Chengji is still quite steady. Even if Dejian's boy is a little rash occasionally, he should be able to persuade him, so he will not cause such a big trouble."
