Chapter 215 Concubine Jin has a good plan?
"Ahem, this is the end of the evening entertainment, and then we will start to sleep. Everyone, go back to the tent and think carefully about what is wrong with the barracks and what needs to be improved. If you have any questions, you can raise them tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, Let's continue to discuss and discuss, okay, disband!"

Huangfu Mohan waved his hand, and everyone obediently went back to the tent.

After this day and night of training, some weaker women could no longer bear it, some were infected with wind-cold, fever and cough, some were groggy, as if they were about to fall when the wind blew, Huangfu Mohan heard When the palace people reported, they waved their hands to send these weak women home.

Some people couldn't hold on, Huangfu Mohan also sent a message to allow them to go home and rest.

As for those women who still wanted to persevere, they looked at those who went home with a hint of envy and a bit of stubbornness in their eyes.

Even though the coats on their bodies were still wet and stuck to their bodies, and the surrounding environment was much worse, they still wanted to be treated differently by Huangfu Mohan, so they persevered and endured.

They tried their best to think about the disadvantages in the military camp, and wanted to come up with novel ideas that would make people's eyes shine tomorrow morning, so that they would shine brightly and make everyone admire them.

But after thinking about it, they felt drowsy and fell asleep again.

On the second day, several women developed a high fever and were unable to wake up at all. Huangfu Mohan waved his hands and asked to send these women back. Some of the officials couldn't hold on any longer, but Huangfu Mohan was not so kind to let them go. People sent them back, only let the imperial doctor feel the pulse, and cut ginseng slices to keep them refreshed.

Everyone sat down on the seats prepared by Tingyinchi again, and each had a cup of hot tea in front of them.

"The suffering of this march is over for the time being. Please tell me what you think. Before I express my opinion, I would like to say a few words first.

I am not the kind of pedantic and old-fashioned person, and I will not favor military generals and despise civil servants just because I have been in the border for eight years. In my heart, civil servants and military generals each manage half of my country, and every official is indispensable to me. Missing helpers.

The pain of holding this march was not to stir up a storm of emphasizing martial arts over culture in the court, but some people were too conceited and conceited, and always wanted to intervene in some things that they were not used to.

On that day, many courtiers told me about how Concubine Jin often left the palace and did not obey the palace rules. You have a set of arguments that you can argue with people. I can't refute it. I can only tell you through the suffering of this march that some women are better than men. It is a hundred times stronger than those who do nothing but do not seriously reflect on themselves and stubbornly judge others based on their own preferences.

Today, if any of you can propose improvement measures that are beneficial to the border guards, I will have nothing to say from now on, and according to what you said, I will prevent Concubine Jin from stepping out of the palace gate!

Ok, let's get started! "

As soon as the words fell, everyone whispered to each other and talked a lot.

According to what the emperor said, Concubine Jin made an extraordinary contribution?How could a little girl think of a way to benefit the border guards?
"Your Majesty, I believe that all hardships at the border can be tolerated, but when it encounters wind, sand, rain and snow, it will be disadvantageous to the soldiers at the border. Not to mention that the clothes you wear will be soaked by rain, and the cotton coats you wear will also slow down the soldiers' pace. You must know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If you slow down by one step, the enemy may take advantage of it , thus losing your life!"

The person who stood up to speak was Song Xiyuan, Minister of Shangshu, and Huangfu Mohan glanced at this person with admiration, and said kindly,
"What Ai Qing said is very true. Although the clothes can keep out the cold, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Most soldiers on the battlefield would light a fire to warm their clothes during their lunch break. Even here, people still get wind and cold every day. The victims had no medicinal herbs to save their lives, and most of them died without treatment.

Aiqing is really interested in discovering this problem, but, how to solve these problems, Aiqing might as well talk about it. "

Song Xiyuan paused, and lowered his head in shame, "This... I am stupid, and I haven't figured out a proper way yet. Although I want to buy coir raincoats for the soldiers at the border, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the soldiers to wear them. add to the burden."

"Well, it's true. It's cold at the border, and some soldiers have to wear soft armor and coir raincoats. It's really inconvenient. Dear friends, what's your opinion?"

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all sighed and shook their heads.

At this moment, Chu Ruqing stood up and said confidently,
"Your Majesty, there is a way for my servants. The other day, my servants stayed together with Concubine Jin and saw Concubine Jin use lime to absorb the water from the cotton-padded clothes, so I was inspired.

It's better to add lime to the cotton clothes. In this way, when the wind and snow come down, the lime will absorb the moisture in the clothes, and naturally the soldiers will not have any discomfort. "

Chu Ruqing originally thought that his method was excellent and would surely win Huangfu Mohan's appreciation, but before Huangfu Mohan could say anything, General Guan couldn't help but hum softly,

"You young ladies have no actual combat experience. You can only talk about adding lime to the cotton-padded clothes? How much lime does it take? The rain hits the cotton-padded clothes, adding lime and water. Isn't it bad for the soldiers? in trouble?
In addition, lime is added to the cotton-padded clothes. If an arrow is shot on the battlefield or the cotton-padded clothes are damaged, the lime will fly out, and it is not known who's eyes are fascinated, and which side is beneficial. "

As soon as General Guan finished speaking, all the generals echoed.

Huangfu Mohan smiled, "Although it is true that General Guan said the truth, Miss Chu's intention is good, and she speaks enthusiastically, which is very commendable. Generals, don't be too harsh."

Chu Ruqing's face turned red and white after hearing General Guan's words, but when Huangfu Mohan spoke out to save her from the siege, she couldn't help being encouraged and joyful.

Then someone came up with a few ideas, but none of them were practical or practical. Someone even suggested sending medicinal materials to the border gates so that the soldiers at the border gates could maintain their health. Huangfu Mohan just shook his head upon hearing this.

The ministers discussed for a long time but there was no solution. Some people boldly stepped forward and asked Huangfu Mohan, "Your Majesty, I wonder what good plan the Concubine Jin has come up with?"

Everyone also looked up at Huangfu Mohan expectantly.

And Huangfu Mohan seemed to be waiting for this sentence, he stood up with a smile, waved his big hand, and asked someone to bring a few packages up.

"Didn't you say that Concubine Jin has been out of the palace every day recently? She didn't play for fun. She made these things for me recently. Can you see if they are practical for border soldiers?"

As soon as Huangfu Mohan finished speaking, a minister got up to watch. There were some clothes and the like in the package.

General Guan just glanced at it, and immediately exclaimed in amazement, "Could it be that the concubine Jin made the kind of clothes I mentioned earlier? Oh, it really is, light as a feather, warm and waterproof!"

Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they saw that Guan Zhendong poured the teacup on the clothes, and the water drops all fell down, not soaking the clothes at all.

General Guan acted like this, as if he knew about it a long time ago. This person has no tolerance for sand. If the clothes were not made by Concubine Jin, he would not help Concubine Jin carry them around. Could it be that the clothes were really made by Concubine Jin? Concubine Jin's hand?
