Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

After receiving Li Xin's signal, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu immediately reacted - is this what Xinzi said that they must listen to him?

Although this order was really unreasonable, but out of absolute trust in Li Xin, the two of them were the first to take off their casual clothes, and took a set of clothes from the walking servant and changed them on.

With those who take the lead, things behind will be relatively easy. After all, it was just a change of clothes, and there was nothing difficult except that it was a little incomprehensible and strange. Everyone took off their armor and changed their clothes with the mentality of changing and changing. After a while, there was a messy sound of unloading armor and rustling of changing clothes on the training ground.

After all, there are all men present, so there is nothing to be ashamed about changing clothes shirtless. Even those second-generation ancestors who had always been well-clothed and well-fed also readily changed into the clothes prepared by Li Xin.

However, after they changed their clothes, they noticed that the clothes were quite strange.

That's right, what Li Xin prepared for them was the most common short-sleeved shorts in later generations. He spent a lot of money and hired more than 300 tailors and embroiderers at the same time, working day and night for two days. Only about 2,000 sets of one-size-fits-all short-sleeved shorts have been produced, basically two sets per person, and another set will be distributed later for the sergeants to change and wash.

You know, Li Xin designed a lot of physical training for this training. These trainings can't be done with armor, it must be light, heat-dissipating, and easy-to-move clothes such as short-sleeved shorts. It's a pity that there is no cotton in Datang at this time, so Li Xin can't provide pure cotton short sleeves that are more sweat-absorbent. He can only use hemp to make clothes, which will be slightly less comfortable.

"Gaochang Kingdom"

Thinking of this, Li Xin slowly spit out the name of this ancient country on the Silk Road. If he remembers correctly, according to historical records, cotton was introduced into Datang from this country. If there is an opportunity in the future, if the army invades the border and loots it, they will also grab some cotton from there to plant.

Maybe some people think it's outrageous, it's not just cotton, it's not worth fighting. Then you would be wrong. Let me ask, where did the Silk Road, the road of civilization, come from? Isn't it just the word "silk"?

Never underestimate the small crop of cotton! You know, this doesn't just mean pure cotton clothing, that's a huge business! During the first industrial revolution in later generations, the so-called sheep cannibalism movement that broke out in Britain was originally motivated by wool that could be used for spinning.

Commodity is economy, economy is interest, and interest is action.

Of course, these are things for later, and it is definitely not possible right now, so we can only make do with it first.

After changing his clothes, Li Xin finally looked more pleasing to the eyes of these people in front of him.

All in brown short sleeves and gray shorts, it is no longer possible to tell who is a dude and who is an original pawn from the dress.

It is said that the barracks is my home, so shouldn't the whole family be neat and tidy?

Li Xin's obsessive-compulsive disorder finally healed a little bit.

But that's not enough.

For a long time, Li Xin didn't like Datang's rule that both men and women wear long hair. Usually, I can barely bear it, but once in the barracks, especially after everyone puts on refreshing short-sleeved shorts, the sense of disobedience brought by long hair becomes even stronger.

Well, in fact, this is not a temporary idea, but something that Li Xin had originally planned - to cut everyone's hair short.

Anyway, once you mention Brother Bing, you still like the masculine image with short hair and dry hair! Like the one in front of you, what's the matter with all of them tied up in buns? They are neither fish nor fowl.

After Li Xin made such a request, the faces of the sergeants in front of him showed even more incomprehension.

This is unheard of at all! Why do you have to cut your hair short after participating in a one-month training?

You must know that people still attach great importance to their hair these days. As the saying goes, "the body, hair and skin are affected by parents, and cannot be easily damaged." The love for one's body can be linked with people's filial piety. Back then, Cao Cao's drama of cutting off hair as the acting head was based on people's emphasis on hair. It is conceivable that Li Xin hastily asked so many people to cut their hair together, which is really unexpected and unacceptable in this era.

Ordinary soldiers are fine. After all, their status is relatively low, and it is not easy to have doubts and anger for a while. They just whisper and dare not directly express their dissatisfaction to Li Xin.

And those second-generation ancestors who had forced themselves to put on "outlandish clothes" according to what Li Xin said just now, were a little upset at the moment, and suddenly heard such a moth, and immediately refused to do it.

"His Royal Highness Chu, what kind of request is this? You asked us to change our clothes, we have already changed, and now you want us to cut our hair? At least you have to give us an explanation?" one person said loudly.

The man was quite polite.

The even more unreasonable ones shouted even louder: "This matter is absolutely impossible! Why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu humiliate us?"

As a result, opposition came one after another, and Li Xin's request was completely regarded as a deliberate embarrassment.

For such a situation, Li Xin had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't show any displeasure at the moment, but raised the corners of his lips slightly.
