That’s all for Li Ji, Li Yue actually didn’t know how great this British duke is until this era, Cheng Zhijie is definitely a legend, and the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties has remade countless TV series, Cheng Yaojin’s weight in it is definitely leveraged .So much so that Li Yue originally thought that Cheng Zhijie was a black and thick man, but when he actually saw it, he felt a little disillusioned.It is true that Cheng Zhijie has big shoulders and a round waist. Most of the generals these days have this posture. In particular, Cheng Zhijie has followed the path of a fierce general. Over the years, his kung fu on the battlefield has not fallen behind. Bulky.But he doesn't look ferocious, or rather Zhou Zheng, with a smiling face, regardless of his figure, he is really a kind and amiable old man next door.

Li Ji didn't look like a military general, he was even a little thin, as if there were more civil servants than military generals, his temperament was quite calm, he could even be said to be silent, and he didn't say a word at all.

Li Zhi has long been accustomed to the style of these two. He sat on the main seat and introduced Li Yue to Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie with a smile: "Fifteen Lang is a bit careless in his studies, but he has some knowledge in other areas. Yesterday Fifteenth Lang brought some things here, how about the two dukes take a look?" As they spoke, several palace servants came over with cashmere blankets and shawls and woolen products that Li Yue asked someone to bring over.

Li Ji didn't say a word, Cheng Zhijie stretched out his big palm-like hand carelessly, grabbed a handful of the cashmere blanket, and then showed a look of surprise on his face: "What kind of material is this, so soft, tsk tsk, this thing If you make clothes, it must be warm!"

After hearing this, Li Ji took a blanket to look carefully, and said after a while, "What kind of wool does this seem to be made of?"

Li Zhi laughed: "The British public has a sharp eye, but this is made of cashmere!"

Li Ji didn't find it surprising either. The textile industry has actually been very developed these days. Before, some people collected the brightly colored down feathers of birds and mixed them with silk to weave brocades. But at this price, even at Li Ji's I also feel that it is very expensive.Therefore, Li Ji asked, "What is the cost?"

Li Yue said on the side: "These few pieces are indeed expensive, mainly because it is troublesome to select cashmere from the shaved wool, but in fact, it will not be necessary in the future. When the sheep start to shed their hair in spring, they can be combed from the sheep with a comb." , the cost will be much lower in the future. However, no matter how low it is, it will not be so low. A sheep can’t grow much cashmere in a year, but the key is not cashmere, but wool!”

As Li Yue said, she ordered the cloth made of wool. There are several kinds of cloth, some are thinner, some are thicker, and there are also a few balls of thick wool, and then said: "These are all Made of wool, a sheep starts to shave in spring, and it is not a problem to produce a few catties of wool. After cleaning, it can be used for spinning and weaving. These fabrics may not be as soft as silk, but they are warmer and windproof! And , These wools can also be used to weave sweaters, woolen pants, hats, foot bags, gloves, etc. These are much warmer when worn under the coat!"

Nowadays, there are also cotton-padded clothes, but they are made of kapok, and some are made of silk floss, which is a filling made of silk, which can keep warm, but in terms of cost, it is actually relatively high.Like ordinary people in the folk, it can't be said that the clothes and shoes can only be filled with grass catkins such as reed flowers, that is better than nothing.Under normal circumstances, folk warmth is still made of leather, mainly sheepskin and rabbit skin.

Both Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie are actually very shrewd, and they immediately realized the benefits in this.Both mutton and sheepskin are a one-shot deal, but as long as the sheep is alive and can be shaved every year, this is a long-term deal.Raising sheep in the Central Plains is not very large-scale, but for a tribe on the grassland, the number of sheep is usually counted in tens of thousands. If all the wool is shaved to make wool and cloth, this... just think about it, the two You only feel that your head is filled with the sound of copper coins clattering.

Cheng Zhijie yelled almost immediately: "There is such a good thing, don't forget my old Cheng! Saint, my old Cheng's life is miserable, and the gang of boys in the family know how to fight and kill. I only know how to spend money, and I never see anyone coming in. If this continues, our old Cheng family will have to drink the northwest wind! Saint, we are in-laws, so you won't just watch them eat chaff and swallow vegetables!" As he spoke, he looked at Li Zhi eagerly.

Although Li Ji is also very earnest, he is not as shameless as Cheng Zhijie after all. He just said reservedly: "If you want to do wool business, you will naturally have to trade with tribes such as Turks, Tiele, and Uyghurs. But barbarians, fear Pretentious but not Huaide, we said that we are giving them money, but we can’t help them think that they don’t have enough money, so it’s faster to grab it, so…”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "That's why I found the two Dukes! Fifteen Lang is young and doesn't know the dangers of people's hearts, so I need the help of the two Dukes!"

"The sage's words are serious!" Li Zhi is so polite, and his figure is very low, but Li Ji can't really feel at ease, and to put it bluntly, they are also the beneficiaries. If they refuse to cooperate, Li Zhi can actually Find someone else.Over the years, Li Ji's biggest insight is that no one is irreplaceable. They are old, and there are still a lot of young people waiting to make their debut.A saint is also a young man, he has plenty of time, but how long can these old people live?Therefore, since Li Zhi ascended the throne, even if Li Ji did not open his mouth on non-principle issues, he would not express any objections.What's more, this matter now can be regarded as Li Zhi's temptation to test whether the military is on his side. If they can't even win them over with benefits, then the only thing waiting for them is the butcher's knife.

Cheng Zhijie has always appeared in front of others with a carefree and careless image, but if you want to say that he is really careless, a fool would not believe it.This guy actually knows everything in his heart, among other things, at critical moments, he never misses the team.Therefore, he continued to marry Cui's daughter again, and his sons all had a good future. Now, with a large amount of benefits in front of him, all he needed was to express his opinion, and Cheng Zhijie would only refuse if he was stupid.

A banquet is a feast for the guests and the host.With the escort of the military bosses, Li Yue will do business with the Turks and Uyghurs in the future without worrying about any danger. As for Li Zhi, he has the position guarantee of the military bosses. On the one hand, Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie have once again consolidated. Sacred Heart, on the other hand, can get huge benefits for nothing, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

In Chang'an City, when Changsun Wuji heard that Li Zhi had summoned Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie to give a banquet in Lishan, he was a little steadfast.
