On the banks of the Santai River, a long line of wooden boats is moored at the simple wharf next to the embankment, and a load of dan ge and hemp is carried ashore, and after a while, it enters the cloth mill on the other side of the embankment, and is spun into a piece of cloth.

These cloths were cut and sewn into standard crotches, and the double layers of cloth were filled with down to become down jackets, which were then transported to various military camps in Shannan to become winter clothing for soldiers.

For processing with incoming materials, the government transports kudzu and hemp, and transports away down jackets, and only needs to pay the "processing fee", so there is only one question left: whether Huangzhou can deliver on time.

The army is about to set out, and it is not cold yet in autumn, so I am not in a hurry to ask for it immediately, but as soon as the deadline for delivery comes, the clothes cannot be handed over, and the soldiers on the front line have no winter clothes, and no one can afford to mess up the morale of the army.

Shi Hao Wubo, the governor of Huang, led the state officials to witness on the wharf, witnessing the handover of gee and hemp between the officials and the cloth mill owners who came by escorting the boat, and the matter was very important and sloppy.

Incoming processing, how many materials come, you have to process the corresponding amount of things, because the stakes are very high, so Hao Wu Bo is not allowed to shoulder the responsibility.

Someone who took the lead in bringing in a large order is now playing an armed autumn tour in the south of the Yangtze River, in the autumn breeze, Hao Wubo saw the dense cargo ship, and only felt helpless, he was still busy in the yamen, but he had to be present to witness.

That is, the so-called "third party", so as to avoid mistakes, which party defaults.

Who would dare to pay the bills? Let's get impatient!

On the one hand, there is the "supplier" ordered by Yuwen Xingtai and organized by the governor's office, and on the other hand, the "manufacturer" ordered by Yuwen Huangzhou and composed of cloth merchants in Huangzhou manufactures the winter clothes needed by tens of thousands of soldiers.

The stakes are very high, all the cloth mills and tailor shops that make down jackets must make clothes in accordance with the prescribed style and with specific specifications of fabric, and the amount of down filled must be real, and it is not enough to fill ten taels of down.

Each piece of clothing is marked with the name of a cloth mill or tailor shop, and if the quality is poor, not only will it be held accountable, but it will also smash the signboard.

This is a challenge, but also a business opportunity, if done well, not only can you make a lot of money, but also make your own signboard, so the cloth mill and the tailor shop are serious about it, and dare not be sloppy.

After the handover and inventory, Hao Wubo asked the entourage officials to receive the officials from all over the country who had transported the goods, and he transferred to a nearby cloth mill to see how the textile situation was, if he remembered correctly, these cloth mills had been in operation for more than two months.

Twelve hours a day, a total of 24 hours, the workers of the cloth mill work three shifts day and night, tired to death, wages have doubled compared with the past, many people are too tired to still grit their teeth to work, tired of the cloth mill immediately find a way to transfer people to the top.

It really can't be up, and the servants in the house also called the cloth mill to do things, and for this flood of orders, the cloth mill owners have almost rolled up their sleeves and gone up in person.

"Can spinning wheels and looms survive?"

"Back to Shangguan, these spinning wheels and looms have been debugged, absolutely no problem, even if there is a sudden failure, it won't take much time to repair, Ruixing has prepared enough parts for the machine of Caomin Cloth Workshop, which can be replaced at any time."

"No matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to the safety of the weavers, and this official doesn't want to have a sufferer carry the corpse to the yamen to beat the drum one day, you know?"

"You know, grass people don't dare to let the workers work too hard, lest there be sudden death or serious work-related injuries."

The owner of the workshop cautiously replied that Hao Changshi was the chief worker, and arranged for the state officials to be stationed at the scene to supervise the various cloth mills to see if there were any corners cut during weaving, and he was also responsible for the preliminary inspection.

Most of the cloth mills have opened tailor shops in the city, and in order to improve the efficiency of making these tens of thousands of down jackets, the tailors have been transferred to the cloth mills by the Santai River to "work".

In line with the principle of making money together, the newly opened water-powered textile mills in the neighboring states a few months ago also received orders, and the individual tailor shops in Xiyang City also received orders, but the tailors also got the riverside cloth mill to "work".

Countless down pieces were brought to the river from duck and goose farms, where tailors and garment workers cut, filled, and sewed into winter coats for officials and soldiers.

As the so-called "tailor-made", tens of thousands of officers and soldiers have different figures, if you want to make winter clothes in large quantities in a short time, size is a problem, and for this problem, the solution is to make a crotch.

The crotch is actually two pieces of cloth connected with rope to the shoulders and two ribs, and if you want to adjust the tightness, then you can retract the rope accordingly. As long as it's not too much different, it doesn't matter if it's tailor-made.

Of course, in order to ensure the effect of cold protection, the shoulders and ribs of the down crotch can not be so simple, the officers and soldiers first wear single clothes, and then wear down and crotch, jackets and other warm clothes, and then.

All the sizes of winter clothes are the same standard, no matter which tailor makes them, they are basically the same, and they also save half a day of selection when distributing.

This kind of down crotch was first implemented in the Hulin Army, after several years of wearing trials, according to the feedback has been improved, and in other places in the military to try it out in a small area, according to the feedback again to modify it, it has become today's style.

It is precisely because of this that Daxingtai dares to rest assured to place such a large order, which is not simply to take care of the business of his own family, and to convince others in the name of righteousness.

If you dare to blatantly make fun of the ghosts on the uniform, there is no place to regret if you mess up the army's heart, and the durable and warm down jacket is really not sure how to describe it.

Duck down smells of noise, but it does keep warm, and Hao Wubo also gradually knows that the winter clothes worn by soldiers in the past have a variety of fillings, and the wool is not to be thought about, and there are rags and silks are good, and more are straw.

The clothes on the body are not very good, the clothes on the feet are not much better, the boots are basically rare, the cloth shoes are so-so, and more soldiers wear straw sandals, and a lot of grass is stuffed to keep out the cold.

Now it has been different in the past few years, the treatment of Shannan Zhou Army is slowly improving, and the high-quality and inexpensive down jackets in Huangzhou have made the treatment of officials and soldiers to a higher level, and also made Huangzhou's merchants stained.

The new order of 30,000 down jackets has made the cloth mills and tailors in Huangzhou so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, and even the duck and goose farms are recruiting workers everywhere in the city.

After going through the motions and asking about the situation of the cloth workshop, Hao Wu Bo boarded the car and left, in fact, he understood the situation of the cloth workshop in Huangzhou very clearly, just to remind the cloth owner not to be careless.

The cloth owner knew that Hao Changshi was the major shareholder of the cloth mill next door, and there were not enough weavers, so he transferred a large number of tenant farmers from Anlu's own manor to help, so Hao Wubo asked and answered him like this, and both sides were a bit like acting to the lines.

The cloth shop business in Huangzhou is booming, and unidentified people from all over Shannan have joined the shares, otherwise why would Daxingtai set such a large order so smoothly?

Aren't you afraid that the generals who lead the troops in various places and the relevant officials will disobey the yang and the yin?

Win-win!

Isn't it great that the shipwrights who transport kudzu and hemp have made money, the weavers have made money, the tailors have made money, the duck and goose farms have made money, the cloth mills have made money, the shareholders have dividends, and the soldiers have warm winter clothes.

Win-win, win-win, collusion between officials and businessmen or something is too ugly to say, isn't it?

In the same way, the war is imminent, and the orders placed by the government are not limited to winter clothing. (To be continued.) )
