Chapter 183 Replacing Cotton With Down

Guan Zhendong's old face was flushed as if he was blocked, and it took him a long time to snort and snort before he came to Huangfu Mohan's side, greasy and said, "Your Majesty, that's because you didn't reveal your identity in advance. If you do, lend me ten I dare not hit you!"

Huangfu Mohan smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you all the time. It's so boring to reveal your identity. If you hit me with a military stick, treat it as a loosening of my muscles. Anyway, I will fight!"

"Hehehe, I know that the emperor is the best. You are the best soldier I have ever seen!"

"How can you not be good? If you can't control you, you can't control the world. By the way, can you tell me about these soldiers?"

Huangfu Mohan patted Guan Zhendong on the shoulder, and glanced at the soldiers beside him.

Guan Zhendong shook his head, "I haven't figured out my character yet, but I will do everything honestly..."

Du Jinyi watched Huangfu Mohan talking to General Guan, and he didn't want to watch, so he walked around to have a look. Normally, no woman would come over in the barracks. This woman was brought here by the emperor, so everyone dared not talk too much. Those who were curious stared straight at it, and immediately lowered their heads after being reminded.

The barracks were full of men, Du Jinyi walked around and no one talked to him, it was indeed a bit boring, but looking at the rows of tents, Du Jin realized something, made up his mind and walked in.

There are no bed boards in the camp, and everyone makes beds on the floor inside. The quilts are all made of thick black coarse cloth, filled with cotton, and the same is true for the quilts.

Some people's bedding is soaked in sweat and looks particularly sticky.

Du Jinyi couldn't help thinking of that fleeting thought again, the quilt is so thick, if soldiers need to be relocated for war, wouldn't it be inconvenient for everyone to carry such a set?In addition, the quilts and beds will be wet in rainy and snowy weather. These soldiers must not be able to bear it.

Seeing that Du Jinyi had gone to the camp, Huangfu Mohan chased after him without talking to General Guan.

General Guan saw the emperor's love for his sons and daughters, and his eyes were a little worried. Some women are disasters, and the emperor is still young. If he is led by the nose by a woman, if he makes a wrong move, he will lose everything. He will never recover. We must see what this woman is from.

Without thinking, Guan Zhendong also followed.

"Girl, what are you doing in the camp, it stinks here."

Huangfu Mohan wanted to pull her over, but Du Jinyi waved his hand, "I heard you said that the border is bitterly cold, so I came here to see what the environment of your camp is like."

General Guan laughed when he heard this, "The tents are like this, the men don't know how to tidy up, it's a mess, it's incomparable to your women!"

Du Jinyi glanced at General Guan who was following him, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "General Guan misunderstood, I didn't come to make a joke, I just heard that the emperor said that the border is very cold, so I wanted to see everyone's clothes and beds .”

In this way, General Guan understands that she is willing to do her part, so that the emperor can take a look at her and let the three armies be grateful to her.

He coughed lightly and laughed, "Miss also saw it. Although this quilt is not as comfortable as you usually sleep in, it can keep warm to the extreme. This kind of fabric plus cotton is already what the court can allocate. The ultimate in silver."

Guan Zhendong thought, even if this woman wants to contribute, money must be a problem, and now the treasury has not enough money to rush to make a new batch, this girl's mind can only be in vain.

Du Jinyi shook his head, "Although the quilt is stuffed with cotton, I don't think it's airtight."

Guan Zhendong couldn't help snorting, "It's better to be airtight than to die from the cold. The cotton-padded clothes and quilts issued by the court before were stuffed with straw. I don't know how many people died of freezing in the bitterly cold places like the border."

Women just like to talk with their mouths. They have never suffered from the bitter cold at the border. They always like to talk about things based on guesswork. I really don't know what the emperor likes about her.

Huangfu Mohan was about to warn General Guan not to gossip with his women, but Du Jinyi said first,

"Straw definitely won't work. I have a way to reduce the expense of soldiers' cotton quilts, and these things are also light, warm, breathable and waterproof."

When Guan Zhendong and Huangfu Mohan heard this, they looked at each other in shock.

"How do you do this? Girl, you're not joking, are you?"

It would be a lie to say that they were not surprised. If the soldiers were wearing items made of this material, the border would not be considered bitter cold. For them, fighting a war would be as easy as pie.

Just ask the enemy army shivering from the cold, their soldiers wear light and warm clothes and carry light luggage, how can their speed and progress be compared to them, but this kind of thinking is just a thought.

Du Jinyi smiled, "How could I be joking, of course I have ideas, I was thinking, can I try to use coarse cloth or cotton cloth, brush their surface with a layer of grease, and then put the cloth on the kang Soft, try to make it as soft as possible, then collect duck down or goose down and fill them into the fabric. In this way, the finished velvet product becomes much lighter. It is brushed with grease on the outside and is not easy to be damaged. It’s wet with water, but the inside is breathable, even if this thing falls into the water, it won’t get wet immediately, even if it gets wet inside, just dry it with fire, it will definitely dry faster than products stuffed with cotton.”

Guan Zhendong was so shocked that before he could say anything, Huangfu Mohan couldn't help but blurted out to Guan Zhendong, "This method is good, you can try it, the down is really light, and the warmth retention is definitely not bad."

Guan Zhendong glanced at Du Jinyi in shock, and just as he was lamenting that this female genius could come up with such a method, he thought of another question,
"However, using duck down and goose down is also too expensive. I don't know how many ducks and geese are used for a piece of clothing, and it's just used to make clothes and quilts for soldiers. Isn't it too wasteful?"

"How can it be wasted? I have already decided to open a restaurant and hire a few cooks. The supply of chickens, ducks and geese must be in short supply. If the required quantity cannot be reached, I can also go to other restaurants to recycle duck down and goose down. , There are always more ways than difficulties, this thing can definitely be done!"

Hearing what Du Jinyi said, Guan Zhendong said several good words in succession.

"Girl, your idea is really wonderful. If you can make this batch of clothes and bedding for us, you will be a great hero of our armed forces. I, Guan, admire you!"

After Guan Zhendong finished speaking, he was about to salute Du Jinyi. He thought that this woman was only due to her beauty to make the emperor fall in love with her. Unexpectedly, she had real materials, and this woman deserved such a great gift from him.

Du Jin thought that he wanted to worship her, so he quickly stopped him, "You don't have to be like this, I just came up with an idea and wanted to take the opportunity to make some money. This method requires the emperor's approval and his appropriation of funds to carry it out, so , if you want to thank, you should thank the emperor!"

Guan Zhendong was a little confused, "Make money? Could it be that the girl is short of money?"

"Naturally, there is a shortage. Who thinks money is scarce? I came here just to make money!" Du Jinyi glanced at Huangfu Mohan, who was smiling and satisfied, and snorted softly.

Guan Zhendong instantly understood that now that the national treasury is empty, this woman must be helping the emperor earn money. This woman is really intelligent and virtuous, and the emperor has her, he is happy to hear about it!
