Chapter 962: 962

  Chapter 962 Chapter 962, Quartermaster Department

Daohua only knows how to knit a sweater. This is what she taught herself when she was bored in her previous life. When she knit a little vest sweater for her son, many maids and women in the house were onlookers. Among them, the most interested It belongs to the sewing room.

The   needle method is not difficult to learn. Daohua demonstrated it twice to the people in the needle and thread room, and these people quickly learned it. Not only that, but also introduced new methods and developed new methods.

  "Professional things must be done by professional people."

  Inaflower's hands are not as clever as the needle and thread room, but she has seen a lot of wool knitting supplies. Through her requests from time to time, the needle and thread room did not take long to make sweaters, hats, scarves and other supplies with different patterns.

  Guo Ruomei looked at the waistcoats, gloves, socks and other small items sent by the sewing room, and couldn’t help saying: “It’s convenient to knit a sweater with this bamboo stick.”

Daohua: "In Xiliang, many people can't afford spinning machines, but this bamboo stick is not rare. Mother has also seen it. This stitch is not difficult to learn. Understood."

  Guo Ruomei was surprised: "Do you want to promote the craft of knitting sweaters?"

   Daohua smiled and said: "I didn't create the stitches for knitting sweaters. If it can be promoted among the people, the people will be less affected by the cold winter."

  "This knitted sweater is light and soft, has good warmth retention, and is also very durable. It should be refurbished at any time if it is worn out or worn out."

  Guo Ruomei smiled and nodded: “Wool is not rare in Xiliang. If you really want to promote it, the people of Xiliang will have a much better life.”

   said, smiling at Daohua.

   "You, you have done another good thing for the people."

   Daohua smiled and said modestly: "This is nothing. For Xiliang to develop, it mainly depends on Yeyang. What I have done can only slightly improve the lives of the people."

  Guo Ruomei: "This is enough."

  That night, after Xiao Yeyang came back, he also looked at the woolen fabrics. The first thing he thought of was the army.

  Although the soldiers now have cotton-padded clothes, the winter in Xiliang is too cold, and they will still freeze when they only wear cotton-padded clothes.

  With sweaters and trousers, the effect of protecting against the cold will be much better.

  "Don’t spread the stitches for knitting sweaters. I will collect a batch of wool and come up to talk about it. In the cold winter, the common people can still cook at home, but the soldiers have to patrol outside."

  It takes money to manage all parts of Xiliang, and now he has to plan carefully.

  In the past, wool was mainly bought by wealthy merchants to make woolen blankets and wool felts. There were not many buyers and the amount of wool used was not much. However, once the needle method of knitting sweaters is spread, the price of wool may increase.

Daohua naturally did not agree, but just asked: "Do you have to take care of these things? Xiliang belongs to the border, and there are many frontier troops stationed. The various materials needed are huge, and there is no special military supply department to manage them. Are you holding these?"

  Xiao Ye’s eyes lit up: "The Quartermaster?"

  Ina Flower nodded: "It is the department responsible for supplying the daily supplies of the army."

  Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "Don't tell me, it's really not there. In the past, all the materials needed by the frontier army were in charge of Wei."

  Military Supplies Department.

  In order for Xiliang to realize the separation of military and political affairs, he really should build a quarters.

  Xiao Ye Yangxiong hugged Daohua, and said with a smile: "You are really my lucky star." After speaking, he paused, "How about letting Su Hongxin take charge from the Quartermaster Department?"

  Ina Flower: "Huh?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Su Hongxin came all the way to take refuge in me. Now that the war with Xiliao is over, he can't let him stay in the army forever. Yuan Xuan and your eldest brother have their own errands, so it's not easy to leave him. "

   Daohua smiled and said, "You have made up your mind about this."

  The next day, when Xiao Yeyang arrived at the capital, he sent a message to Su Hongxin, asking him to come to Liangdu, and then looked at the map of Liangdu, and finally planned to transform the Weijialiangzhuang on the outskirts of Liangdu into a military supply department.

  Wei’s grain farm not only covers a large area, but is also very solidly built. There are hundreds of warehouses, which are very suitable for storing military supplies.

  At the same time, someone was sent to start collecting wool.

  In this regard, the officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government are somewhat inexplicable.

   "What do you do to collect wool? Isn't this a silly mess?"

   "That is, the Department of Dusi had no money in the first place, but now they have to build roads, build a post, and build a family area for the frontier army, and the Department of Dusi is almost emptied."

   "Forget it, no matter what you do, let him toss if Prince Xiao wants to toss. When he has no money, he naturally knows to stop."

  Speaking of Su Hongxin, as soon as he received a letter from Xiao Yeyang, he immediately brought his guards to Liangdu.

  The first sentence when I saw Xiao Yeyang was: "I thought you had forgotten me!"

  Xiao Yeyang squinted at him, and gave him the plan of the General Supplies Department: "The Military Supplies Department’s garrison, the fourth rank, is in charge of the military supplies of the Xiliang Border Army. Would you like to do it?"

  Su Hongxin didn't finish reading the plan, so he nodded quickly: "I am willing." Once the fighting with Xiliao stopped, I had to stay in the military town if I wanted to be promoted.

  Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Is it enough to give you half a month to settle your dependents?"

  Su Hongxin smiled and said, "Enough is enough, but I have to trouble you to send me two people who are familiar with Liangdu. I have to buy the house first."

  Xiao Yeyang said directly: "You go to Wenxiu, he is familiar with this."

  Su Hongxin: "Okay, then I will go down first."

After    was delineated, a large amount of wool was sent there. When the wool harvest was almost the same in the spring, news came from the Weiyuan Palace that everyone could go to the Four Seasons Ranch to learn how to knit sweaters with bamboo sticks.

  "Use bamboo sticks to knit clothes? Really?"

   "Which ranch is Four Seasons Ranch, why haven't I heard of it before?"

   "Stupid, there are Four Seasons Food Shop, Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Shop, and Four Seasons Pharmacy in the city. These shops are all opened by Princess Weiyuan, and the Four Seasons Ranch must also belong to Princess Weiyuan."

  "Would you like to check it out then?"

  "Nonsense, I must go, can the things from the palace be worse? The bamboo sticks really need to be able to knit clothes, maybe I can put on new clothes this year."

After hearing this news, officials from the Department of Metropolitan Government realized why Xiao Yeyang had hoarded a lot of wool some time ago.

  Everyone went to the Four Seasons Ranch with curiosity.

  In order to promote the needle method of knitting sweaters, Daohua also spent some effort. Throughout the process, people in the needle and thread room demonstrated how to wash wool, how to turn wool into wool of different thicknesses, how to dye, and how to knit wool into clothes.

  The first batch of people who started learning, the ranch also gave a set of bamboo sticks for free.

  Nowadays, almost all women can do needlework, and it is indeed as Daohua thinks, it is not difficult for women to learn.

  When the first person knits a sock, everyone is no longer watching.

  Yan Shouhou smiled and stood up and said: "My princess said that the ranch will teach you how to knit sweaters for a month for free, and you can come here."

   "The items woven by people who bring their own bamboo sticks and wool can be taken away. If they don't bring these, the woven items must be left behind."
