Chapter 547: Making a Down Jacket
"I really didn't expect that there are so many people who are familiar with water in my Guanzhong army!"
When Zhao Yin reported the number of recruits to Li Er, he was really taken aback.
"I was also very surprised, but they are only barely water-based, but they are not very good at it, and they need more practice!"
The first condition of the navy is to be familiar with water, so Zhao Yin plans to let them learn theory first, and then find someone to teach them water.
"Yesterday, Zhou Lun sent someone to report that the naval school has now been completed!"
Zhao Yin stroked his beard and said happily.
"That's right, the son-in-law came over to ask His Majesty what he was going to do!"
"Now that the naval cadets have been recruited, let them learn the theory first, and when the next batch of warships is finished, let them practice in actual combat!"
"Isn't Your Majesty going to give the Naval School a name?"
Although this naval school was prepared by him, after all, it was to select talents for Datang, and it was better to let Li Er make his own decisions.
"Why don't you call it Zhenguan Naval Academy!"
Li Er thought for a while and finalized a name.
"Well, yes, nothing is more convincing than His Majesty's chronology!"
"Not only that, but I also plan to be the head of the school myself!"
Li Eryue said more and more.
"Well, having His Majesty as the headmaster will definitely inspire the patriotic feelings of the soldiers!"
Regarding this matter, Zhao Yin expressed helplessness.
Li Er didn't know anything about the navy at all, but he had the cheekiness to be the principal.
But at this time, he couldn't spoil the fun, so he could only nod helplessly.
……
It's now winter, and the snow is starting to fall outside.
In the Horse Mansion, Zhao Yin is directing duck feathers in the back kitchen!
"Husband, what are you doing here? Do you have a grudge against these ducks? ”
Princess Changle, Hou Qingli, and eldest grandson Yujia stood tiptoeing outside the door, looking at the duck feathers flying in the sky, and looking at him with a puzzled face.
"What kind of banquet are we going to have in our house?"
In addition to this, the eldest grandson Yujia really couldn't think of any other reason to let him kill so many ducks at once.
"I'm going to make a down jacket for each of you!"
Zhao Yin smiled mysteriously and said lightly.
"Down jacket?"
"What's that?"
They had never heard of this new word.
"A down jacket can't be made of duck feathers, right?"
The eldest grandson Yujia obviously looked disgusted.
In her mind, she had already imagined herself dressed in duck feathers.
"I don't want to be a big duck!"
Princess Changle flicked her robe and prepared to go back.
"The down jacket is not what you think, it is indeed made of duck feathers, but not the whole duck feathers, but the most tender feathers in the duck belly, and then processed and broken, lined with sealed feathers, and finally selected the fabric you like, made into various styles, its warmth is three times that of cotton clothes!"
Zhao Yin explained briefly.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Princess Changle paused, "Is there anything warmer than cotton clothes?" ”
"Of course, wear a down jacket and make sure you throw away the heavy cotton clothes immediately!"
Since Zhao Yin planted cotton, all the people of Datang have changed to wear cotton clothes in winter, and they no longer have to suffer from the cold because of the expensive fur.
But compared with down jackets, cotton clothes are too heavy and not light and beautiful enough.
"Then I want one!"
"I want it too!"
"And me!"
Hearing this, the three girls raised their little hands one after another, scrambling to squeeze to Zhao Yin's side, completely forgetting the duck feathers in the room.
"Don't worry, this pony has killed so many ducks, just to make one for each of you!"
After Zhao Yin finished speaking, he began to continue to command.
As for the style of the down jacket, he also used the universal search to improve it, and ordered someone to find a few women who were good at sewing, and rushed to make it within three days.
"Come on, let's try!"
After the down jacket was ready, Zhao Yin called the third girl over again, pointed to the clothes on the bed and said.
"I'll ...... first!"
Princess Changle took the lead in picking out a lilac embroidered down jacket, "Ah! This cotton coat is so light? Can it keep warm? ”
"Shall I see?"
The other two women also chose their own down jackets, "It's really thin!" ”
"Don't underestimate it, the characteristics of down jackets are lightweight, breathable, and warm, I don't believe you can go out and try it!"
Zhao Yin clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with a smile.
In later generations, this down jacket was widely used, and the effect was naturally needless to say.
In the past few days, the weather has been cold, and it is snowing heavily, and the women did not believe what he said, so they really got into the cold wind and snow outside.
"How?"
Zhao Yin supported the door frame with one hand and asked playfully.
"This down jacket is really an artifact, such a light and thin piece can actually resist the biting cold wind?"
Princess Changle looked at the clothes on her body in amazement and said overjoyed.
"Yes, we've been standing for so long, and it's not cold at all!"
The eldest grandson, Yujia, was also very happy.
Although the previous cotton clothes were warm, if you stayed outside for a long time, you would feel a little cold, but this down jacket is different, and you don't feel the cool at all.
"Great, if my father has this dress, he won't be afraid of freezing when he goes out on the expedition in the future!"
Hou Junji is now on his way to Rome, and Hou Qingli is very worried.
"Don't worry, the reason why this horse killed so many ducks is to make one for all of you, and the rest for your father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
Actually, he wanted to save some trouble and only make a few things for his little ladies.
But then I thought about it, with the character of Princess Changle, there is such a good thing, and she must take it back to the palace to show off.
When the time comes, Li Er will definitely let himself do it.
If you do it for Li Er, you can't be too selfish, and you have to make a few things for other fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law.
In the end, I simply thought about it, it was better to sell personal favors and arrange one for each of them!
"Thank you, husband!"
The three girls gave a salute and stayed outside for a long time before going back.
After all, this is the first heavy snow in winter, and with down jackets to keep warm, they naturally want to have a while.
In addition to these people, Zhao Yin also made one for the divine doctor Sun Simiao.
If he hadn't helped, he wouldn't have been able to solve the problem of steam engine leakage.
"Thank you for your concern, Lao Dao doesn't need these things!"
Sun Simiao smiled indifferently after understanding the role of this dress.
Although it is now the middle of winter, he is still wearing only a coarse sermon robe!
"The physique of the divine doctor is really good!"
Zhao Yin smiled awkwardly.
He didn't know whether to call the old man stupid or that he was stupid.
"If you want to be as strong and strong as the old man, you must first have a degree of moderation, and the old man sees that the horse is now frivolous, which is obviously a bit excessive!"
Sun Simiao squinted and glanced at Zhao Yin's lower limbs, and said naturally.
"Uh...... This horse has a down jacket, so you don't need to be strong! ”
Want him to quit sex?
There are no doors!
Now he not only has three wives and concubines, but also two Wu sisters to work for, how can he not be excessive?
"In this case, Lao Dao has a room in the room, and the effect is very good, do you want to try it?"
"Hey ......! I said, you old man, is this looking down on me? ”
Zhao Yin straightened his chest and pretended to be annoyed.
"Since the colt doesn't need it, let's just assume that the old way hasn't said it!"
After Sun Simiao finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank his hot tea and ignored him.
"Although this horse doesn't need it, it's not good to refute Doctor Sun's face!"
Zhao Yin glanced at him weakly.
After returning to the Horse Mansion, he summoned his three wives and concubines and asked them to repay him for the down jackets he had carefully prepared for them.
