After the banditry in Xuantu County was cleared, Lu Songli planned to summon craftsmen and craftsmen scattered in various villages to make fire beds in the name of the governor's office, and go to Xuantu County to help the people make fire beds.

Winter is coming soon, and it has already started to snow lightly at night. This is very important.

As a result, a red list was posted on the red wall of the Houcheng County Sheriff's Mansion, and a large number of craftsmen who were good at making Kang were recruited to go to Xuantu County to guide the making of Kang. Their remuneration was also written on it.At the end of the red list, I also wrote that I hope everyone will inform each other.

In addition, this matter also required the cooperation of the county guards of Xuantu County, so before the announcement of the list, Lu Songli invited the two county guards of Xuantu County and Lelang County in her father's name.

After the red list was posted, the villages in Liaodong County where families are good at making kangs have become very lively recently, and the village chief even visited in person.

"Uncle Qiu, you are good at making kangs. Now the government is recruiting craftsmen like you to go to other places to make kangs for people. They will give you two kilograms of grain as rations every day. After that, you will be given two kilograms of meat or eggs when you come back. Can you go? ?”

The honest man nodded, "I'll go."

His mother-in-law smiled and said, "I'm sure I'll go. It's almost winter, and there's nothing going on in the fields. Just sitting around at home is a waste of food. It would be good for the old man to go out and earn some food."

The government gives two kilograms of rations every day, which is enough to keep the old man full, not to mention two kilograms of meat after the end. What a great job.

"Okay, I'll sign you up."

"Okay."

Garment workshop warehouse

Lu Songli's second sister Lu Songyun took a notebook and counted the winter clothes in storage.

In the warehouse next door, guys are moving ready winter coats into the warehouse.

At this time, a capable-looking daughter-in-law walked in and said, "Ayun, this is the last batch. After the inventory is completed, this matter will be over."

"Yeah." Lu Songyun responded while counting, occasionally taking out a finished product and inspecting it carefully.

Zhao Liniang also stepped forward to help. Thinking of the busy period during this period, she sighed. Their entire garment workshop has been busy for three months, right?

When they first made this winter coat called a vest, they didn't know anything. They really learned it step by step.

When Lu Songyun heard her sigh, she couldn't help but think of the difficult process of making these vests.

The biggest workload is none other than these wool vests.

They had to wash the wool repeatedly with soap until it was shiny and then dry it in the sun.After the snow-white wool is dried, it will be sent to the elastic room, where the wool clumps will be manually combed and pulled apart, and then the wool will be loosened using a set of tools.

In fact, this is a set of cotton-stripping tools, now used to tease out all the wool fibers and make them fluffy.

These fluffy wool are mixed with a portion of kapok to serve as the filling of the vest.

In addition to wool vests, they also make several other vests of different qualities depending on the filling, such as goose down vests, duck down vests and silk cotton vests.

In addition to vests, their garment workshop also made a batch of vests based on the rabbit skins and sheepskins with wool.

Their entire garment workshop was busy for three months, and finally it was completed.

Houcheng, the new county governor's mansion

The subordinate came in and reported, "Mrs. Qin Liu, the garment factory has sent four or five pieces of clothes. They said that all the clothes are ready now. You can take them away at any time if it is convenient for you."

Lu Songli stopped laughing and said, "Bring it to me and take a look."

The winter in Northeast China has always been a concern for her. As early as a few months ago, she started to solve the problem of winter clothes for the soldiers.

At that time, they and Ji Wuyin had already established initial trust.

Most of the wool used in this batch of vests was obtained through Tuoji Wuyin's connections.

Ji Wuyin's business was big. His previous home base was in the south and he didn't have much dealings with the herders in the north.

But he knew many people, and he knew some businessmen who often dealt with northern herdsmen.Through Ji Wuyin's relationship, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce offered salt and tea leaves that the herdsmen could not resist, and acquired a batch of wool through barter with them.

As for the silk cotton used in these vests, it was still provided by Ji Wuyin, and it was his inventory.

This year there was a bumper silk harvest in the Jiangnan area, but the silks and satins could not be sold at high prices, so he hoarded them until next year.

When the Ji family completely withdrew from the Southland, Lu Songli accidentally learned of this and asked Xue Xu to be a lobbyist, taking the initiative to help the Ji family consume half of their inventory.

Lu Songli touched these five types of vests and asked, "Did the garment factory report the quantity?"

"I've reported it, about 960 pieces of wool vests. Fifteen thousand pieces of silk cotton vests..." The subordinate then reported the quantity of other types of vests.

Lu Songli nodded.

The garment workshop sent a total of five different grades of vests, with slightly different fillings.

The most inferior vest is filled with wool mixed with kapok.This type of vest is the most numerous and is issued to soldiers.

Next is silk cotton, and the best is the real down jacket, which uses a mixture of duck down and duck feathers. Goose down is also available, but in smaller quantities.

In addition, there are vests made of integrally tanned sheepskin and rabbit fur vests.

A rabbit skin vest requires about eight pieces of skin.Therefore, the quantity of these two types of vests is just a little more than that of down vests and goose down vests.

That's all this year.Lu Songli said in her heart, after all, it is not an easy task for all the soldiers under his command to have a vest.

Even wool vests with wool mixed with kapok as fillers have standards and specifications. Warmth preservation is a must, so there are also requirements for the wool content inside. The wool fiber content must reach [-]% or above.

The goose down vests and duck down vests are all made by the most skilled female workers in the garment workshops. There is also a small batch of snow-white rabbit fur vests, which are eye-catching regardless of cut and style.

She planned to hand over this batch of top-notch goods to Ji Wuyin and let him transport them to branches in other states and counties for sale. She believed that they would be very popular among the women of wealthy families.

Lu Songli figured out that her father had been resting for a few days and it was time to work, "Go and invite my father."

She planned to ask her father to go to the military camp tomorrow to make his presence felt.The soldiers below must know who got them the winter coats, but don't thank the wrong person.

When Hongluo went to invite Lu Desheng, he was still struggling and refused to move, "Did your second lady say something?"

"The winter clothes at the garment factory are ready. Second Miss hopes that you will take these winter clothes to work in various military camps."

When Lu Desheng heard this, he glanced at the north wind blowing outside and sporadic light snowfall. He was extremely suspicious. He had to force Shi Tao down just so that he would not be ordered to go out on a rainy day.

Now he has to go out on a snowy day?How come the days go back and forth?What went wrong?

Seeing that he was motionless, Mrs. Jiang kicked him out and said, "Go to work quickly."

"young married woman?"

Ms. Jiang showed no mercy, "How many days did you say you have been resting?" This old man is so dishonest, it's her waist.

Lu Desheng felt a little guilty. He had not done much work since he repaired those rotten trees.
