"How many white stacks are used in this cotton coat?"

After feeling the cotton clothes, Hou Junji hurriedly asked, and he found that the cotton clothes seemed to be far less heavy than the ones he had made himself.

"More than a pound."

Li Yan replied truthfully.

"Shhh...... That means that the white stacks picked today are enough to make at least 5,000 pieces? ”

Hou Junji couldn't hold back and gasped again.

Five thousand pieces of cotton clothes are enough for the Fengzhou army!

After all, not everyone has to go out to endure the cold in winter, and there is no need to distribute one per person at that time, just follow the attendance schedule and take it as you go.

"General, I'm going to train as usual in winter, so I need at least two thousand."

Li Yan told Hou Junji in advance, he didn't want to end up making the cotton he had worked so hard to make even his own people useless.

"This ...... It's okay, but it's hard to go out hunting in winter, and there may be a shortage of meat, so pay attention to your kid's training. ”

Hou Junji frowned at first, but finally agreed, he knew the importance of Li Yan's training, once there was friction between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks in the future, this elite battalion trained by Li Yan would definitely become a wonder soldier in Fengzhou.

In the end, Hou Junji specially told Li Yan that meat is hard to find in winter, and it is impossible for Fengzhou to afford the training of 2,000 people with full firepower, and the training must pay attention to the intensity, otherwise the training will be wasted if you are not careful.

"I'll take notice."

Li Yan is from modern times, so he naturally knows that training needs to supplement nutrition, which does not need Hou Junji to worry about.

This is the end of the discussion between the two about military training, and the next thing is about the production of cotton clothes.

Obviously, making clothes still requires technical content, and it is definitely a fool's dream to let this group of rough people in the army do fine work.

If the Fengzhou army is forced to sew cotton clothes by itself, then the "cotton clothes" that Hou Junji rushed to make today is a lesson.

In the end, Li Yan suggested that Hou Junji allocate some military funds to ask the people in the city to help make it, and the process of playing cotton was placed in the army, and the cotton was transported into the city by a special person, and then transported back to the military camp after being made into cotton clothes.

Of course, considering that the Daofengzhou army was not wealthy, Hou Junji planned to use some cotton to offset the account.

He believes that in the face of the coming winter, the temptation of cotton clothes is definitely no less than copper coins!

When it was time to make cotton clothes, Hou Junji and Li Yan chatted casually for a while and then left.

Li Yan plunged headlong into the daily mining experience of "My World", while Hou Junji returned to his camp and wrote a letter again.

Obviously, finding the different kinds of white stacks and contributing to the method of making cotton clothes are not a small credit, and Hou Junji is preparing to send a letter to Chang'an to ask Li Yan for credit.

Early the next morning, a messenger who had just made a trip to Chang'an two days ago set off again, this time he not only brought Hou Junji's letter, but also brought a "cotton coat" as a sample, and both of them would be handed over to Li Shimin at that time.

……

At the same time, when the sky was just dawning, Li Yan once again did not train the troops in person, and he once again led people out of the city.

Today he no longer has to deal with cotton, but with the seeds of winter wheat.

Li Yan led Zhang Dazhu and his entourage, arrived at Wujia Village, which encountered the Turks yesterday, before this he was still an excuse to leave the team, and ran to arrange a piece of winter wheat, next to the winter wheat, Li Yan specially planted a lot of winter spinach, winter peas, etc., he believed that when the people of Wujia Village arrived here, they would find something.

Li Yan directly visited the village chief of Wujia Village, an old man named Wu San.

"I've seen this general, dare to ask what is important to the general today? As long as the general speaks, I, Wujia Village, will definitely do my best to repay the grace of saving my life. ”

Wu San saw Li Yan and immediately knelt down to thank him, but fortunately he was dragged by Li Yan in time.

"The old man is serious, it is our duty to protect the people of Fengzhou, and it is a dereliction of duty for my Fengzhou army to frighten you yesterday, but I am here today, but I do have something important to entrust."

"When I was young, I found a kind of wheat in the mountains that could grow in winter......"

Li Yan began a serious nonsense and made up a long story.

The gist of the story is that when I was a child, I found a special kind of wheat that could be sown in winter and ripened in March, but unfortunately I was young and ignorant and didn't pay attention to it, but I just found this kind of wheat again around Toyosu a few days ago.

So he wrote down the location, and now it was almost time to harvest the seeds, and he hoped that the people of Wujia Village could go and harvest the seeds and plant them in the village.

All in all, Li Yan's story is very false, and there are a lot of loopholes at the same time, but these are not important, anyway, winter wheat grows in the place Li Yan said, and it is time to harvest seeds.

Reality is reality, and everyone denies the existence of winter wheat.

"General! If this wheat that can grow in winter is true, then you will be the benefactor of my Wujia village's children and grandchildren for generations! ”

Wu San, the old village chief, was excited again, no one knew better than farmers how important a crop could be grown in winter!

Originally, winter was the most idle and boring period for farmers, and they preferred to welcome spring as soon as possible and sow seeds as soon as possible.

After all, without the harvest, they would have no rations and no income, especially after the harvest every year, they still had to pay agricultural taxes, and after paying the taxes, they had to be robbed by the Turks several times.

At the end of the round, they have not much left over from their winter rations, and almost every winter they face a period of starvation.

"Go and harvest the seeds, remember, this wheat grows in winter, and don't be confused with spring seeds."

Li Yan led the team to leave after repeated instructions and inspected as usual.

According to the current situation, winter wheat will not be planted in batches until this time next year, and the city of Toyosu will still have to be tightened this winter.

But it doesn't matter, Li Yan is in a good mood now, now the cotton is basically in place, the popularization of winter wheat has begun the first step, and he also hides the winter vegetables and waits for the people in Wujia Village to find them by themselves.

All in all, everything is moving in a good direction.

So, Li Yan, who was in a good mood, walked at the front of the team humming a small song.

"The end of the world is my love......"

Li Yan was alone, humming a melody that no one could understand.

Later, in the team, the discussion quietly appeared here.

"What's the boss humming? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"Stupid! How many songs have you heard? Have you ever been out of the village before joining the army? ”

"Yes, but the boss hums a good sound."

The environment of the team is getting more relaxed, but it is in this situation that accidents are most likely to happen.

The patrol team had a smooth journey, and had just returned to Toyosu Castle and entered the North Castle Gate, when they heard someone shouting on the city wall.

"Close the gates, there are Turkic cavalry! About two hundred rides! ”
