There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Daohua knows only the most basic knitting stitches, which she taught herself when she was bored in a previous life. When she knitted a small vest sweater for her son, she attracted many maids and wives in the house to watch. Among them, the most interested It's a sewing room.

Acupuncture is not difficult to learn. Daohua demonstrated it to the people in the sewing room twice, and these people learned it quickly.

"Professional things should be left to professional people to do."

Daohua's hand is not as clever as the sewing room, but she has seen a lot of wool knitting supplies. Through her requests from time to time, the sewing room made sweaters, hats, scarves and other supplies with different patterns in a short time.

Guo Ruomei looked at the vests, gloves, socks and other small items brought by the sewing room, and couldn't help but said, "It's convenient to knit sweaters with this bamboo stick."

Daohua: "In Xiliang, many people can't afford a textile machine, but this bamboo stick is not hard to come by. My mother also saw it. Understood."

Guo Ruomei looked surprised: "Do you want to promote the craft of knitting sweaters?"

Daohua smiled and said, "I didn't create the knitting method of knitting sweaters. If it can be popularized among the common people, fewer people will get cold in the cold winter."

"This knitted sweater is soft, warm, and durable. It can be refurbished at any time if it is worn out or worn out."

Guo Ruomei smiled and nodded: "Wool is not rare in Xiliang. If it is really popularized, the life of the people of Xiliang will be much easier."

Said, smiled and looked at the rice flower.

"You, you have done another good thing for the people."

Daohua smiled and said humbly: "This is nothing, Xiliang wants to develop, mainly depends on Ye Yang, what I do can only improve the lives of the people a little bit."

Guo Ruomei: "That's enough."

That night, after Xiao Yeyang came back, he also looked through the woolen fabrics, and the first thing that came to his mind was the army.

Although the soldiers now have cotton-padded clothes, the winter in the Western Liang Dynasty is too cold, and only wearing cotton-padded clothes will still freeze.

With sweaters and pants, the effect of keeping out the cold will be much better.

"You don't want to spread the stitching method of this sweater first. I will collect a batch of wool and talk about it. In the cold winter, ordinary people can still cook fire at home, but soldiers have to patrol outside."

Governing Xiliang needs to use money everywhere, and now he has to plan carefully.

In the past, wool was mainly bought by some wealthy businessmen to make wool blankets and wool felts. There were not many buyers and the amount of wool was not much. However, once the stitching method of knitting sweaters spread, the price of wool may rise.

Daohua naturally did not refuse, but just asked: "Do you have to take care of these things? Xiliang belongs to the border, and there are many border troops stationed there. The various materials needed are huge, and there is no special military department to manage them. Are you wearing these?"

Xiao Yeyang's eyes lit up: "Military Department?"

Daohua nodded: "It's the department responsible for supplying the military's daily needs."

Xiao Yeyang said with a smile: "Don't say it, there really isn't any. In the past, all kinds of supplies needed by the frontier army were taken care of by the Weisuo."

Military Department.

If Xiliang wants to realize the separation of military and government, he really should build a military department.

Xiao Yeyang hugged Daohua and said with a smile, "You are really my lucky star." After saying that, he paused, "How about letting Su Hongxin take care of the military department?"

Daohua: "Huh?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Su Hongxin came all the way to join me. Now that the war with Xiliao is over, we can't let him stay in the army all the time. Yuan Xuan and your eldest brother have their own errands, so it's hard to leave him behind. "

Daohua smiled and said, "You made up your own mind about this."

The next day, when Xiao Yeyang arrived in Dusi, he sent a message to Su Hongxin, asking him to come to Liangdu, then flipped through the map of Liangdu, and finally prepared to convert Weijialiangzhuang on the outskirts of Liangdu into a military supply office.

The Wei family's grain store not only covers a large area, but is also very solidly built. There are hundreds of warehouses, which are very suitable for storing military supplies.

At the same time, people were sent to start collecting wool.

In this regard, the officials of Dusi are a little baffled.

"What do you collect wool for? Isn't that gibberish?"

"That is, Dusi had no money in the first place, and now he has to build roads, build a post house, and build a family area for the border army. Dusi is about to be hollowed out."

"Forget it, no matter what you do, Lord Xiao will let him toss if he wants to. When he runs out of money, he will naturally know to stop."

Speaking of Su Hongxin's side, as soon as he received Xiao Yeyang's letter, he immediately brought his personal guards to Liangdu.

The first sentence I saw when I saw Xiao Yeyang was: "I thought you forgot me!"

Xiao Yeyang gave him a sideways glance and gave him the plan of the general department: "The quarters are guards, the fourth-grade, in charge of the military supplies of the Xiliang frontier army, would you like to do it?"

Su Hongxin didn't even read the plan, so he nodded quickly: "I am willing." As soon as the war with Xiliao stopped, if you wanted to be promoted in the military town, you could only get your qualifications.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Is it enough to give you half a month to settle your family?"

Su Hongxin smiled and said, "Enough is enough, but I have to trouble you to send me two people who are familiar with Liangdu. I have to buy the house first."

Xiao Yeyang said directly: "Go to Wenxiu, he is familiar with this aspect."

Su Hongxin: "Okay, then I'll go down first."

After the quarters were drawn out, a large amount of wool was sent to the past. When the wool harvest in the spring was almost there, news came from the Weiyuan Palace that everyone could go to the Four Seasons Ranch to learn how to knit sweaters with bamboo sticks.

"Weaving clothes with bamboo sticks? Is it real or fake?"

"Which pasture is the Four Seasons Ranch, why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Stupid, there are Four Seasons Grain Store, Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Store, and Four Seasons Pharmacy in the city. These stores are all opened by Princess Weiyuan, and the Four Seasons Ranch must also be owned by Princess Weiyuan."

"Would you like to take a look?"

"Nonsense, I'm definitely going. Can the things from the palace be bad? Bamboo sticks really need to be able to weave clothes, maybe I might be able to wear new clothes this year."

After hearing the news, the Dusi officials understood why Xiao Yeyang hoarded a lot of wool some time ago.

With a curious attitude, everyone went to the Four Seasons Ranch.

In order to popularize the needle method of knitting sweaters, Daohua also spent a lot of effort, and let the people in the sewing room demonstrate how to clean wool, how to twist wool into yarns of different thicknesses, how to dye it, and how to weave wool into clothes.

The first batch of people who started to learn, the ranch also gave a set of bamboo sticks for free.

Today's women are almost all needleworkers, and indeed, as Daohua thought, it is not difficult for women to learn.

When the first person knitted a sock, everyone was no longer in the onlooker mentality.

Yan Shouhou stood up with a smile and said, "My princess said that the ranch will teach you how to knit sweaters for a month for free. Anyone who wants to learn can come."

"The items woven by people who bring their own bamboo sticks and wool can be taken away. Those who don't bring these items must be left behind."
