Chapter 728 Youzhou Cotton Coat

Chapter 759 Youzhou Cotton Coat

"Is this a cotton coat?"

Before winter, Qin Yang suddenly received a report saying that the first batch of [-] cotton coats he ordered to be made had already been made. He was asked to take a look, and Qin Yang immediately went to the garment factory.

This garment factory is newly opened, not the factory responsible for military uniforms before, but a comprehensive branch factory.

He doesn't make woolen products, nor fur products, let alone linen products, but was told by Qin Yang to do cotton cloth business.

No, more precisely, a white fold.

In ancient times, cotton cloth was also known as white stacked cloth.

Cotton is also called kapok.

This thing existed at this time, even before the Tang Dynasty, but it was not circulated in the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, and even a few years later, some people could mistake cotton for flowers.

However, Qin Yang's fiefdom is in Youzhou, where it is cold in winter. Ever since he came to Youzhou, he has been thinking about cotton.

People have been looking for cotton seeds before, and they are planted in some suitable places.

Nowadays, white folded cloth has been manufactured for a long time, and textile machines have been updated for countless generations. It is not that difficult to make this cotton coat.

He had people make this batch of cotton coats according to the style of the green army coats of later generations.

White folded cloth has been around for a while. In fact, some cotton coats were made for the army before, but the cotton coats made this time are definitely thicker.

Not only to supply the army, he also planned to release some to the market. This time, he planned to make the Youzhou cotton coat popular throughout the Tang Dynasty.

"That's right, it's easy to get acquainted just by looking at it." After tugging, Qin Yang picked up the cotton coat again and weighed it. The weight is not light.

Very good, this kind of padded jacket with a little pressure is definitely very warm in the deep winter!
He put on the cotton coat again, not to mention, this feeling is really good!

Qin Yang appreciated this very much, and said: "Just continue to make according to this style and quality, and make another [-] pieces."

"Yes!" After receiving the king's approval, the director of the newly opened branch factory immediately responded excitedly.

With the help of machines, the five thousand cotton coats were all completed in a matter of days.

Qin Yang asked people to put the first [-] pieces of cotton coats in the Datang Supermarket branch in Youzhou, and sent the remaining [-] pieces to the Datang Supermarket in Chang'an before the river was frozen. .

Along with the [-] pieces of cotton coats that were sent to Chang'an, Qin Yang and Li Lizhi also temporarily added some food and drink items, all of which were sent there together.

These ships soon came to an end, changed carriages, and entered Chang'an City.

It was discovered that another caravan from Youzhou had arrived. After seeing the mark on the carriage, many people were secretly waiting to see what the Youzhou Mountain Team would bring this time.

As a result, it was discovered that there were an extra batch of cotton coats in the Datang Shangchao.

Cotton products, as well as white folded cloth, have actually spread in a small area before that.

The admiration for white folded cloth has even made many people more curious about Youzhou.

They really felt that Youzhou was not a good place in the past. Even though Youzhou has launched many new products in the past three or four years, this deep-rooted prejudice is difficult to change in a short period of time.

Unless it receives a huge impact at one time, it may be changed in a short time.

But because of the white cloth, many people have some curiosity about Youzhou.After all, just the name of Bai Diebu will give people a sense of "romantic", and the nobles and descendants of the Tang Dynasty also like to be arty, and this kind of "romantic" is actually what they like to be arty one.

The appearance of cotton coats made them realize that this white folded cloth and cotton can not only be elegant, but also very warm!
Moreover, this style is somewhat similar to the riding clothes, unlike the cloaks they used to wear, the style is very peculiar.

"Hurry up and buy some cotton coats and come back!" Similar orders immediately appeared in Chang'an City, and they appeared in more than one place.

The [-] items were actually discounted, because [-] of them were directly connected with gifts and sent to the palace.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were talking about them when they received the gifts from their daughter and son-in-law, but just as they were talking, another batch of gifts from Youzhou arrived.

Both the emperor and the empress were a little dumbfounded.

Others give gifts on New Years and holidays, but their son-in-law gives gifts whenever he thinks of them!
Before the winter, several gifts have been sent one after another!

In fact, they didn't send people here on purpose. Basically, as soon as the Youzhou caravan entered Beijing, they would bring some gifts from their daughter and son-in-law.

Sometimes the gifts are very precious, and sometimes the gifts are very local products. The local products here are real local products, that is, the kind of local products dug out from the ground.

As a result, a lot of furs, sun-dried mountain products, and [-] cotton coats have been sent now?
Although Li Shimin couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, he was submissive in his heart. Li Lizhi's daughter and Qin Yang's son-in-law obviously treated him and Guanyin's servant as ordinary parents, not the so-called emperor and queen.

Such a warm way of getting along made Li Shimin feel very happy.

He has many sons and daughters. If he wants a cold relationship between the emperor and his consort and princess, others can naturally provide it, so why do they need a pair so far away?

What he needs more is naturally this kind of ordinary family affection!

But few people dare to treat him with such a natural attitude all the time, because he is the emperor after all, and many people are not sure how to handle this.

Rather than accidentally offending Emperor Longwei, it would be better to maintain a certain degree of respect.

After Empress Changsun saw the cotton coat, she also liked it very much and asked Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, do you want to give some to the harem?"

Five hundred pieces is actually quite a lot.

If one thing is not divided, it is not suitable.

After all, these are clothes, not anything else. Youzhou sent them over, obviously for him to reward others.

He and Guanyin, the two of them, can't wear five hundred cotton coats!
Except for the two of them, one of them keeps two bodies, and the other more than 400 pieces can be used to reward people.

But who should be rewarded and who should not be rewarded, Li Shimin needs to think about it.

More than 400 pieces may seem like a lot, but in fact, if they are really divided, they are not enough!
This is good stuff!
It's not the kind of priceless good thing, but it belongs to another kind of "good".

"Give one to the concubines who have children in the harem first." After thinking about it, Li Shimin said.

"Yes." Empress Changsun actually meant the same thing. It is impossible for everyone in the harem to have a share, but concubines who have given birth, even if they have not raised children, Empress Changsun will also count them in.
