A pair of gloves, what do you need?

Maybe the people of later generations shrugged their shoulders and sneered indifferently: "About a few dollars......"

It is difficult for people in the era of great industry to imagine the difficulty of hand-sewing gloves with needle and thread in the pre-AD era!

A worker can sew ten pairs of gloves a day, which is already very powerful!

What's more, there is a serious shortage of raw materials for gloves!

Whether it is silk linen or fur, in this era, it is very precious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is even a precious resource that is equivalent to hard currency.

Shaofu was able to produce 100,000 pairs in three months, and Liu Che was a little surprised.

However, this is far from enough for the needs of the Han army!

Not to mention, all cavalry must have more than two pairs of warm gloves.

Also, it must be gloves with warm fluff!

After all, when a cavalry gallops, its hands are frozen or even frozen.

Then this cavalry will have no combat effectiveness.

And that's going to take at least 60,000 pairs!

In addition, the foot soldiers of the Han army also need to be protected.

That's at least 100,000 more sets!

In other words, now, in less than a month after leaving the battle, Liu Che has to find 50,000 sets of gloves for his army!

And that's just the basic needs of the army.

In addition to the army, a large army of civilians also needs a certain amount of cold items.

With the strength of Shaofu, Liu Che felt that if he wanted to complete this task, it was tantamount to being difficult for a strong man.

"Shaofu Neiku, how many whale skins are made of nitrate now?" Liu Che turned his head to a waiter beside him and asked, "Go and find out this matter for me!" ”

Whale skin, after nitrated, is a good raw material for leather armor, which can be used to make leather boots, holsters and leather handguards.

Of course, it can also be used to make gloves.

It's just that the effect of keeping out the cold is not as good as wolf skin and sheepskin.

But better than silk hemp.

Previously, Shaofu had used some whale skin as a raw material for gloves.

A quarter of an hour later, the attendant came back and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, there are whale skins of about several thousand stones in the inner treasury of the Shaofu ......."

Liu Che nodded.

That's right!

"Summons the Shaofu, extract all the whale skins!" Liu Che ordered: "Send it to the prime minister, and order the prime minister to post notices under the dew cloth of Chang'an, and invite the people to sew gloves, each pair of gloves, and give five yuan!" ”

Later, during World War I, a French taxi driver sent several divisions of French troops to the Verdun front line during the Battle of Verdun, and never let France avoid its demise.

During World War II, Britain's generator program was also succeeded by relying on hundreds of people's civilian boats.

Now, less than a month has passed since the Battle of the Hetao was launched.

Within a month, 50,000 or even 100,000 sets of gloves will be produced.

Relying on Shaofu is not good.

The craftsmen who specialize in glove and other related industries in Shaofu add up to only a few thousand.

Within a month, they were able to make about 20,000 pairs of gloves when they died.

This is clearly not enough for the needs of the army.

But, the people of Chang'an can!

Now, the permanent population in Chang'an has exceeded 400,000!

Even after deducting the aristocratic royal family, as well as the bureaucracy and the military, there are still about 300,000 or so people.

The women of these common families were excellent sewing workers.

The cost of sewing gloves for five dollars a pair is enough to make people rush to it!

With their strength, in a month, at least 100,000 sets of gloves can be sewn!

Basically, it can meet the needs of the army!

And it's going to be very small!

Even if it is 100,000 sets of gloves, it only costs 500,000 yuan!

Therefore, Liu Che ordered, and the courtiers around them all looked at each other, and then bowed their heads one after another, they had to admire the wit of their own son of heaven.

But Liu Che knew that this matter was not just as simple as giving an order and getting money and materials out.

Judging by his perception of the bureaucrats, especially the bureaucrats in Chang'an City.

Someone is sure to hit the nail on the head.

Withholding people's wages?

Hehe, that's too low-level.

It's a kid's trick.

Besides, it can't deduct much money.

Liu Che didn't even think about it carefully, and he had already thought of several possible ways for the bureaucrats to make a fortune in his heart.

As long as a certain black-hearted guy loses his temperance a little and uses chicken feathers as an arrow, he can play N kinds of tricks.

For example, the allocation of tasks, and the number of tasks that are impossible for an ordinary person to complete.

For example, 100 or 200 pairs of gloves a month.

If they fail to complete the task, they will arrest people in the name of 'destroying the militaristic state'.

Arrest people and put them in jail.

Of course, ordinary people will be scared silly.

Then, you can sit on the ground and collect the money.

Even, if you're smarter, you can play a float or something.

Under the pretext that the people embezzled the leather of the state, he then put all his family's property and land in his pocket.

Liu Che felt that he could come up with so many tricks just by thinking about it.

The officials below, if you study carefully.

I'm afraid I'll delve into black technology-level skills.

How does this work?

Thinking of this, Liu Che raised his head and ordered: "Send an order to the Governor of the Embroidered Clothes Guard, the Governor of the Guard, the Captain of the Guard, and the Inner History, and order all the departments of the Department to go deep into the various districts of Chang'an and closely monitor all movements, but there are officials who take the opportunity to exploit, make things difficult, slander and blackmail the people, and they can be killed directly without asking for instructions!" All this thief, the head is hung in the north! ”

At this juncture, those who still want to exploit the people are definitely not good birds.

Slaughter them, it's not wrong at all!

It can also purify officialdom and clean politics.

What's more, at such a moment, he dares to make trouble.

It is like a person who robs in an earthquake, resells drinking water in a flood, and hoards medicine when an epidemic breaks out.

Those who make a fortune are not enough to rectify the order without killing!

It's just that Liu Che's murderous words made the left and right stunned.

Many people know that this order of the Son of Heaven will immediately lead to a roll.

What kind of virtue are those officials in the grassroots of Chang'an, don't you know?

However, no one dared to speak out to admonish.

Because, the big war is imminent.

It has been a tradition since ancient times to kill a few of our scum and thieves before the battle.

Not to mention......

Kill them, and the examiners will have a pit to occupy!

The so-called ass determines the head.

Most of the attendants, scholars, and officials in this hall climbed up through examinations.

They don't bother to care about the lives of the old bureaucrats and officials!

Even, I wish they were dead, so that it would be convenient for their own people to take the position!

"No!" So, unsurprisingly, the ministers all obeyed the order, and then each went down to deliver the order.

In the afternoon of the same day, the streets and alleys of Chang'an suddenly became lively.

Countless people gathered around the cloth and listened to the court policies preached by the officials.

Then, the various official offices were surrounded and could not be cleared.

Five dollars for a pair of gloves?

Ten pairs is fifty dollars, which is enough to buy one stone of corn.

This is a surprise for most families in Chang'an City. (To be continued.) )
