Datang all-rounder

Chapter 212

Of course, Wang Ke is very clear about Xiangcheng's thoughts. No one wants to do this matter of looking far away. What do you mean, but it also explains from one side the truth that one side supports one side with water and soil.

Wang Ke patiently explained to Xiangcheng: "It's not impossible to use cotton, but there is a problem, that is, the clothes are much heavier to wear. Now you don't like to wear too much in winter, isn't it inconvenient?"

Xiangcheng didn't know if the duck down was as warm as cotton, but after thinking about it, when the cotton first came out, didn't he also not believe that this thing could be used? Now that he understands it, he thinks of it first!After Xiangcheng figured it out, he stopped thinking about whether the duck down is warm or not. Now he began to think about what he could use to replace the duck down. scarce things.

Seeing that Xiangcheng was struggling to hold Xiao Wang, Wang Ke unconsciously asked, "Princess, don't you have a trolley? Why do you always carry the child? Isn't this a delay in doing things?"

Xiangcheng was struggling to look at the blueprints while holding Xiao Wang in his arms. After being reminded by Wang Ke, he came to his senses, looked around and said, "That's right, sister Nanping brought a cart? Why did you forget about this?" What! Hurry up and look for it, it’s really hard to do things while holding on.”

Wang Ke smiled, he couldn't figure out why these people didn't think of this, probably because the trolley was made for a short time and they haven't gotten used to it yet.Xiangcheng searched around but couldn't see where the trolley was, so he beckoned a female worker to go to the inner room and ask Nanping to come out.

Nanping didn't know why Xiangcheng called her, so he hurried out and asked Xiangcheng, "Is my sister looking for Nanping for something?"

Xiangcheng said with a smile: "Your general asked you where you put the child's stroller, so you can't do anything with it."

When Nanping heard this, he smiled and said: "It's in the store in front. I was upset just now, so I picked it up and wandered around, but it turned out to be in the back yard, so I didn't bother to pick it up."

As Nanping said, he asked someone to go to the front to fetch the trolley, then he walked up to Wang Ke and asked, "What are the general and sister doing here?"

Wang Ke picked up the drawings she had drawn on the table and said to Nanping: "The princess just said that these clothes will be made soon, and asked me to think about what new styles I can wear in winter to keep warm. It can also look very light. I thought about it just now, and I thought I could make this style first, and discussed it with the princess, and now you can take a look."

Nan Ping picked up the blueprint. For her, what she cared about was not the question of whether the thing would keep warm, nor whether the raw material was available. In her opinion, as long as Wang Ke thought of doing this, these should not be a problem .What she cares about now is whether the style looks good and what kind of fabric should be used to make it.

After reading it for a long time, Nanping only understood the technical process written by Wang Ke, but he still didn't understand what kind of fabric to use, so he had to ask Wang Ke: "General, the concubine understands the style and how to do it. There is no problem. It’s just that I don’t quite understand what kind of fabric is used, so please explain to me, the general.”

Wang Ke knows that there are very few fabrics that can be used now, and it is not as convenient as later generations, so now he has to think about it for a long time every time he wants to make something, and he also feels very helpless about this.But there is no way, except that the objective conditions do not allow it, and I am not omnipotent. There are many things that I don’t understand, and I know a lot but I can’t use it.

Wang Ke secretly sighed and said: "This style of clothes can be worn by both men and women, as long as there is a slight change in the color of the fabric and a change in the style. So I think this way, the fabric used outside It is made of satin, this silk is too thin, it is not suitable, only satin can be used. As for the inner lining, it should be better to use cotton cloth, but now cotton cloth is still scarce, so we can use worsted linen instead for the time being. After the cotton cloth is launched on a large scale, we will just change it back.”

Nanping and Xiangcheng listened quietly to Wang Ke's introduction of fabrics. After Wang Ke finished speaking, Xiangcheng asked with great interest: "Master Wang, how can we distinguish between men and women by changing this?"

Wang Ke is very clear about this point. Down jackets are basically necessary clothes in winter in later generations. I have seen it a lot, and I don’t need anyone to tell me what this style is all about.Although in later generations, down jackets all had zippers, at least there is no way to make zippers now, but it is not very difficult to find other ways to replace them, so Wang Ke didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Wang Ke pointed to the drawing and said: "As I said just now, men and women can be distinguished from the style and color. Everyone knows that there are some differences between men and women in this style. The length of the clothes can be distinguished. Differences can also be distinguished. The most obvious is the difference in color. There are many colors that are suitable for men, but some colors can only be used by women. For example, red clothes look good on women, but they look good on men. It’s not good-looking. Of course, there are certain clothes that won’t be particular, but there’s no way to make such clothes yet.”

Wang Ke's words made the two princesses very puzzled. The clothes are clothes, so why can't they be produced?

Wang Ke saw the doubt in the eyes of the two, and knew that he could not explain clearly to them for a while. There are many things in the technology of this later generation that are inconceivable now. Lun and nylon are things that I can't even think about now. If I tell them now, it won't scare them.But to make this clear now, we must find an excuse to say it, and we must not let these people have an excuse to doubt themselves.

Wang Ke thought about it and said: "When I was in the Far West Country, I compared the lifestyle and thinking habits there with my Tang Dynasty. I found that the culture is different and the living habits are different. The clothes are different. It is very obvious. For example, our Tang Dynasty was polite and respectful, and there was a clear distinction between men and women in clothing. However, the extreme western country is different. Many clothes are worn by men and women, so we have to consider many styles. Is it suitable for our own characteristics?"

Wang Ke talked for a long time, just to find an excuse for what he said, but he couldn't think about it for the time being, so he could only say something in general, and it seemed very reasonable to Xiangcheng and Nanping. nodding in agreement.

Wang Ke took the opportunity to say: "There is another problem, that is, there are differences in the stature of people in the two places, which also leads to the difference in the clothes and doors. When we make clothes now, we must take these problems into consideration before we can make a compromise." The clothes that the people of my Tang Dynasty like come here."

Wang Ke's words are correct. Because of the different races in the East and the West, there are great differences in body shape. If you blindly imitate, coupled with different concepts, the clothes you make will definitely not be able to sell.Now this is a business, and what is made is for people to buy. If no one wants to buy it, then it is better not to do it!

For Wang Ke's words, Xiangcheng and Nanping, who have already begun to have some business sense, fully agree with them. As soon as Wang Ke finished speaking, Xiangcheng said: "Then Mr. Wang thinks that we have other styles besides this style?" Can the pattern be made?"

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, he laughed. There are so many clothes. People at this time have no concept of changing the style of clothes with the change of seasons. This is good news for them. Tang Chao's thinking is relatively open, as long as it is what he likes, he likes to imitate, and he doesn't know much about the world now, so as long as he guides him a little, he should be able to change.

Wang Ke said with a smile: "Now my clothes in Tang Dynasty don't change much. I just increase or decrease clothes according to the change of seasons, but the styles are very similar. Why do people like Hufu so much? The clothes are different, but they are very convenient to wear. If we can come up with some other styles that are convenient, good-looking, and look very energetic when worn, wouldn’t it be possible for everyone to All kinds of people in Tang like it, so it can expand our production scale and save a lot of cost accordingly, isn't it a good thing?"

As Wang Ke spoke, he discovered that the two people listening to his explanation had begun to fall into deep thought.

After speaking, Wang Ke was not in a hurry to ask them what they were thinking, but just stood aside quietly, letting them think through the problem.He knew that as long as he thought through the question thoroughly, he could make them understand the truth better if he asked it out.

After the two of them thought about it, they opened their mouths at the same time, and Wang Ke said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, tell them one by one, and I will tell you what I know about any problems."

Nanping smiled at Xiangcheng and said, "Sister, ask first."

Xiangcheng was also polite, and asked Wang Ke: "I'm thinking now, it's good to expand the scale, but where does the cost saving come from? Not every piece of clothes is the same process, is there any difference?" ?"

As soon as Xiangcheng finished speaking, Nanping clapped his hands and said, "Sister thinks the same as Nanping."

Wang Ke looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "This problem has to be looked at this way. Yes, the technological process of the clothes is similar, but there is a problem, the more a style is made, the more familiar the workers are. The shorter the process. The daily time is the same, but the shorter the production time, the more clothes will be made accordingly. We pay the workers according to the time. For the same salary, the more you make , do you think that the cost of each piece of clothing should be saved. In addition, if we sell more of a style, the more fabrics we need, and the more fabrics we buy at a time , buying more must be cheaper than buying less, isn’t this cost saving?”

What Wang Ke said shocked Xiangcheng and Nanping. He was only focusing on making clothes on weekdays, but he really didn't think about it. When he thought about it carefully, what Wang Ke said was really true.

The two nodded repeatedly, because from the production of a copy for the court this time, it can be seen that the cost incurred now and the cost calculated at the beginning have been very different, not an increase, but a decrease.Wang Ke's words made them understand what was going on.

Xiangcheng couldn't help sighing and said: "It seems that there is knowledge in everything. We used to look down on business. I didn't expect that the things in it are not inferior to the government's governance of the people."

When Wang Ke saw that Xiangcheng could see such a truth from this trivial matter, he was really surprised that Comrade Li Er's family was so smart.Thinking about the real history, since Li Zhi, the Tang Dynasty began to decline slowly. Wang Ke really couldn't figure out why.How can such a shrewd ruler of a dynasty keep repeating the same mistakes.

This also made Wang Ke more determined to help Li Ke to the top. He believed that with Li Ke's shrewdness, Li Ke would not repeat Li Zhi's mistakes. In this way, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty might last longer. Coupled with my own arrival, many changes are inevitable.
