After the bandits in Xuansu County were cleaned up, Lu Songli was ready to gather craftsmen and craftsmen scattered in various villages to go to Xuanwu County to help the people build kangs in the name of the Assassin's Palace.

It's almost winter, and it's already snowing lightly during the night, which is very important.

As a result, the red list was posted on the red wall of the Houcheng County Shoufu, and a large number of craftsmen who were good at Pankang were recruited to guide Pankang in Xuanwu County, and the treatment was also written on it. At the end of the red list, it is also written that I hope everyone will inform each other.

In addition, this matter also requires the cooperation of the county guards of Xuansu County, so in front of the list, Lu Songli invited the two county guards of Xuanwu County and Lelang County in the name of her father.

After the red list was posted, in the villages of Liaodong County, the people with good pankang skills have been lively recently, and even the village chief has personally come to the door.

"Uncle Qiu, you have good skills in pankang, and now the government is recruiting craftsmen like you to go to other places to give people pankang, give two catties of grain as rations every day, and when it is over, come back and give two catties of meat or eggs, will you go?"

The honest man nodded, "Go." ”

His mother-in-law smiled and said, "That's definitely going to go." It's almost winter, there's nothing left in the field, and the cat is just consuming food at home, and it's not bad for the old man to go out and earn some rations. ”

The government gives two catties of rations every day, which is enough for the old man to eat enough, not to mention two catties of meat after the end, what a good errand.

"Okay, I'll give you a name."

"Okay."

Garment workshop warehouse

Lu Songli's eldest sister Lu Songyun took a notebook and counted and checked the winter clothes in the warehouse.

In the warehouse next door, the guys are moving their winter clothes into the warehouse.

At this time, a capable daughter-in-law walked in, "Ah Yun, this is the last batch." After the inventory is completed, this matter is over. ”

"Hmm." Lu Songyun counted while responding, occasionally took out a finished product, and carefully inspected it.

Zhao Liniang also stepped forward to help, thinking of the busyness during this time, she sighed, they have been busy in the entire garment workshop for three months, right?

When they first made this winter coat called a vest, they didn't know anything, and they really learned it step by step.

When Lu Songyun heard her exclamation, she couldn't help but think of the difficult process of making this batch of vest vests.

The biggest workload is none other than this batch of wool vests.

They had to wash the wool repeatedly with soap until it was shiny and then let it dry. After the snow-white wool is dried, it is sent to the pop room, where the wool wool is manually combed and pulled apart, and then the wool is loosened by a set of tools.

In fact, it is a set of tools for playing cotton, which is now used to comb all the wool fibers and make them fluffy.

This fluffy wool is mixed with a portion of kapok to be used as a filling for the vest.

In addition to wool vests, they also made several different quality vests depending on the filling, such as goose down vests, duck down vests and silk cotton vests.

In addition to the vests, their garment shop also made a batch of waistcoats based on rabbit skins and sheepskins with wool.

They worked hard for three months before they finished the whole garment workshop.

Hou Cheng, the new county guard

The subordinates came in and reported, "Sixth Mrs. Qin, four or five pieces of clothes have been sent from the garment workshop, saying that all the clothes are ready at present, and you can take them away at any time if it is convenient for you." ”

Lu Songli put down a smile, "Take it for me to see." ”

Winter in the Northeast has always been a concern for her, and as early as a few months ago, she set out to solve the problem of winter clothing for the soldiers.

At that time, they and Ji Wuyin had already established a preliminary trust.

Most of the wool used in this batch of vests was obtained by Tuo Ji Wuyin.

Ji Wuyin's business has become big, and he used to be at home in the south, and he didn't have much contact with the herdsmen in the north.

But he knew a lot of people, and he knew some businessmen who often dealt with herders in the north. Through Ji Wuyin's relationship, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce took out the salt and tea that the herdsmen could not resist as a trade, and bought a batch of wool with them through barter.

As for the silk cotton used in this batch of vests, it is still provided by Ji Wuyin, which is his inventory.

This year, there was a bumper harvest of silk in the south of the Yangtze River, and the silk could not be sold at a high price, so he hoarded it and waited for the next year to see.

When the Ji clan completely withdrew from the south, Lu Songli inadvertently learned about it, so he asked Xue Xu to be a lobbyist and took the initiative to help the Ji clan consume half of the inventory.

Lu Songli touched the five vests and asked, "Did the garment shop report the quantity?" ”

"The report came, about forty-one thousand nine hundred and sixty-two wool vests. Fifteen thousand silk and cotton vests......" subordinates then reported the number of other vests.

Lu Songli nodded.

A total of five different grades of vests were sent from the garment factory, and the padding inside was slightly different.

The most inferior vest is filled with wool mixed kapok. This type of vest is the most numerous and is issued to soldiers.

The second is silk cotton, and the best is the real down jacket, which uses a mixture of duck down and duck feathers, and goose down is also available, but the number is less.

In addition, there is a vest made of sheepskin and wool tanned in one piece, and a rabbit skin vest.

A rabbit skin vest requires about eight skins. Therefore, the number of these two vests is just a little more than the down vest and the goose down vest.

That's all there is to it this year. Lu Songli said that after all, it is not an easy task to let the soldiers under his command have a vest.

It is a wool vest mixed with kapok as a filler, which has standards and specifications, and it is necessary to keep warm, so there are also requirements for the content of wool inside, and the content of wool fiber must reach sixty percent or more.

The goose-down vests and duck-down vests are all made by the best women in the garment workshop, and there is a small batch of snow-white rabbit fur vests, which are eye-catching regardless of cut and style.

She planned to hand over this batch of sharp goods to Ji Wuyin and let him transport them to branches in other states and counties to sell, believing that they would be very popular with the ladies of those big families.

Lu Songli calculated, her father had also rested for a few days, and it was time to work, "Go and invite my father." ”

She was going to let her father Ming'er go to the barracks alone to brush up on her presence. You have to let the soldiers know who got them winter clothes, but don't be grateful to the wrong person.

When the carrot went to invite Lu Desheng, he was still struggling and refused to move, "Did you second miss say anything?" ”

"The winter clothes over there are ready, and the second lady hopes that you will take this batch of winter clothes to the military camps to work for the army."

When Lu Desheng heard this, he glanced at the sky where the north wind was blowing outside and there was sporadic light snow, and he was extremely suspicious in his heart, he had tried his best to knock down Shi Tao in order not to be ordered to go out on a rainy day.

Now he's going out on a snowy day? How did the days go back and forth? What went wrong?

Seeing that he was motionless, Jiang Shi kicked him out, "Hurry up and get to work." ”

"Daughter-in-law?"

Jiang Shi was unrelenting, "You said you have been resting for a few days?" "This old and unscrupulous, her waist.

Lu Desheng was a little weak-hearted, he hadn't worked much since he repaired those rotten woods.
