Chapter 918: First Question
Yanzhou is terrained in the north, and almost every household raises geese.
It is estimated that a lot of geese have frozen to death in this cold winter, and Su Xuan took out the silver to buy goose down, which can also help a group of local people.
As long as there is enough goose down, you can make a down jacket, and it is not a problem to resist the cold.
There are 40,000 soldiers in the army, teach them some simple processing, and soon they will be able to process goose down.
With a down jacket, you are not afraid of the cold.
At this time, Yang Cheng hurriedly came to see him.
"Meet Chitose!"
"No need to be polite."
Su Xuan helped Yang Cheng, who was about to kneel and salute, up.
Now Yang Cheng is no longer wearing a eunuch uniform, and is wearing a relatively delicate dress made of satin, which looks a bit rich and noble.
"How have you been in Yanzhou these past few months?" Su Xuan asked.
"The master of the bamboo building has arranged a messenger for me, treat me well, and let you bother you, Master Chitose." Yang Cheng said.
"You have the ability, if you don't reuse it, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?" Su Xuan said with a smile.
"The imperial court has declared war on the northern barbarians? I heard that the Chitose Lord promised to take Beijin in half a year in the court?" Yang Cheng asked.
"Hmm."
"These Northern Barbarians are arrogant and domineering, they really deserve to be beaten!" Yang Cheng said indignantly.
"You're just in time, come with me to Fuyao Tower, I have something to do with you." Su Xuan said.
"There's a carriage outside, Chitose Lord please."
Su Xuan took the bamboo rain and came to Fuyao Tower.
This is a place temporarily selected by Zhu Xuanqing, so it is not as grand as Yuezhou Fuyao Tower.
Su Xuan and Zhu Yu stepped forward to greet Zhu Xuanqing, and Zhu Xuanqing took the three of them into the side hall together.
"Daughter, how are you doing in Wudu City? This little eunuch
Did they bully you?" Zhu Xuanqing asked.
"He's been very good to me, don't worry, Dad." Zhuyu said.
"Well, I don't have the courage to bully you."
Zhu Xuanqing nodded, then looked at Su Xuan.
"You said that you destroyed Beijin in half a year? Are you sure?" Zhu Xuanqing asked.
"There must be a certainty, not to mention that we can completely destroy the Northern Barbarians, at least we must cripple them. This time I won't be as soft as I was last time." Su Xuan said.
"thief! I have to beat Lao Tzu hard! Damn! Lao Tzu's silver was robbed of hundreds of thousands of taels! The loss of Plains City was also as high as more than three million taels! I have to get it back!" Zhu Xuanqing said indignantly.
"Master Yue, you will definitely fight the Northern Barbarians. But...... My son-in-law would like to ask you to give me some money." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Asking for money as soon as you come? You are truly my son-in-law! Tell me, how much does it cost?" Zhu Xuanqing didn't have a good airway.
"It doesn't take too much, just a hundred thousand taels." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Ahem......
Hundreds of thousands of taels of Zhu Xuanqing is not a lot of money, but he has taken out all his family funds.
The silver he deposited in Yanzhou still has more than 10 million taels.
But hundreds of thousands of taels are not a lot.
This son-in-law is really unkind, he opened his mouth to be more than 100,000 taels, and he really didn't treat him as an outsider.
"No problem, I'll tell the bookkeeper that you can go and pay the money at any time." Zhu Xuanqing agreed.
"Old Yang."
Su Xuan shouted at Yang Cheng.
Hearing this title, Yang Cheng was slightly stunned.
Lao Yang, it's very kind.
"I'm here."
"You take the money and buy the cloth, and then hire all the people in the city who know how to do needlework, and I'll give you a drawing, you make it."
They're going to make clothes." Su Xuan said.
"Yes."
"Without further ado, let's do it now."
"I'll go."
Yang Chengli left the horse.
He Yang Chengdu is no longer in the palace
Su Xuan not only arranged him by Zhu Xuanqing's side, but also trusted him so much.
He's right.
As soon as the people of the city heard that the army was going to buy goose down, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
On the boundary of Yanzhou, there are countless people who raise geese.
Recently, the snow has not melted due to the cold, so countless geese have frozen to death.
Many people are poor and are reluctant to eat geese at all, so they hide geese in ice cellars.
Now the army has come to collect the goose down, and the price given is not low, and they have taken out the goose one by one.
On the other hand, Yang Cheng's efficiency is also very high.
Within a day, he had gathered all the needlework in the city.
He got a drawing from Su Xuanna, and then went to buy cloth.
The next day, Yang Chengcheng led everyone to start making clothes.
Guo Qu also collected goose down one after another, and the amount was very large, which could fully meet the needs of 40,000 troops.
Su Xuan began to teach everyone how to deal with goose down.
Yanzhou City, which was originally lifeless, was the arrival of Su Xuan, and it became extremely active.
Many people in the city can exchange their geese for certain resources.
Those who know how to work can also earn a hard-earned money by their own craft.
Moreover, the silver given by the army is not low, and the salary paid for one day is higher than their salary for half a month.
About ten days later.
All the clothes are made, and so is the goose down
That's pretty much it.
The clothes are made of tarpaulin, with two layers inside and outside.
This fabric is not only waterproof, but also windproof.
The quality of the clothes is uneven, and overall it is unsatisfactory.
Su Xuan casually picked up a piece of clothing and looked at it, although it was indeed very ordinary, it was barely enough.
They want these clothes to go into battle, and they can use them for a while.
In the barracks, there are piles of clothes on the left side, and boxes of goose down on the right.
Even at this time, Guo Qu didn't know what Su Xuan was going to do.
Su Xuan picked up a piece of clothing and filled it with goose down.
When he was done, he took off his coat and put on this down jacket and tried it on.
The clothes are light and not very heavy as they are filled with goose down.
At least it's much lighter than regular padded clothing.
And very warm.
"Yes, General Guo, try it."
Su Xuan took off the simple version of the down jacket and threw it to Guo Qu.
Guo Qu immediately put it on.
At this moment, his eyes lit up.
The texture of this dress is very light and soft, and it seems to be as if there is no weight on the body.
And the warmth of the clothes is very good, much better than ordinary cotton clothes.
Compared with the cotton clothes in the army, this kind of clothing is simply a heaven and an underground.
No wonder Chitose wants to collect goose down, it turns out that goose down still has this wonderful use!
"It's not just very warm! And it's light! Chitose, you're so powerful!"
Guo Qu was a little excited.
"If our Guo Jiajun had such clothes to wear before, it would be impossible for us to be beaten by the Northern Barbarians and have no power to fight back!"
Guo Qu's heart finally ignited hope.
And he wouldn't have thought about it
In the end, this hope did not come from weapons and troops, but from this down jacket that looked very ugly.
