Gloves for protection....?

Seeing his son shake his head Marshal Yi explained further, "In ancient human civilization men didn't go to war during planting and harvest seasons because if they did they would risk both sides suffering from starvation as battles trampled upon a great deal of cropland."

"Thus whenever possible one made war after the main harvest or in winter before the heavy snow. This is why white gloves were of great importance. It was to protect the hands of the men from the cold."

"They couldn't be thick to not impede the handling of weapons but even the thin gloves could be a great help. They also had a secondary purpose but that's not important. So.... do you understand what I mean."

Yi Chen, '.....'

No, he doesn't understand shit. What do gloves have to do with anything? Seeing his son's look of indifference he sighed before explaining.
