Yang Fan's military coat aroused the interest of Chongzhen and the ministers. Chongzhen also tried to put on one, and it felt very warm, but a bit heavy.
Chongzhen put on a military coat over his dragon robe and walked around twice. He found that this kind of cotton coat did not affect his exercise very much. He was amazed. He was sweating after wearing it for a while.
Yang Fan cupped his hands and said: "This kind of cotton coat is a little more expensive, only one tael of silver a piece. All the adults present today, I will give you one for free. Take it back and experience it. This kind of coat can be covered even in the ice and snow."
Use it as a quilt and you will never get cold after sleeping all night.”
Yang Fan knew how to be a good person, so he simply gave one to each person. When he came, he brought three caravans and a lot of military coats. He planned to give one to each person.
This kind of coat has long been eliminated. In modern times, one can be sold for thirty or forty yuan, and a fool can buy hundreds of thousands of them. In exchange for one tael of silver from the Ming Dynasty, he can make a lot of money.
Yang Fan said that he wanted to give everyone experience and give more opinions. This is for the public good, not private. Naturally, everyone has to check for the soldiers and not let profiteers do it. This does not count as receiving a gift. His Majesty also acquiesced.
Most of the ministers are elderly, and people are afraid of the cold when they get older. It is getting cold now. It is still early to wear furs, and they are all a little cold. Once they put on this military coat, the old men are reluctant to take it off.
Everyone was happy for a while. This coat was really not expensive for only one tael of silver. It was definitely a conscientious price.
This time Bi Ziyan had nothing to say. Finally, after some bargaining, Bi Ziyan agreed to a set of cotton clothes and trousers worth 500 yuan.
This long-gone grass-green military coat made of solid fabric and cotton is very warm to wear, and the collar can be raised to protect the neck.
These items have long been eliminated in modern times and are all overstocked products. Almost no one wears them anymore. Yang Fan instructed the idiot to buy as much as he wanted. Purchasing ready-made clothes directly saves a lot of work.
There are still many half-dead and closed quilt factories. The warehouses of third-tier quilt factories are full of Jiefang shoes, suede leather shoes, green military socks, cotton gloves, and Leifeng-style military caps.
"Everyone, please look at these boots. They are made of wool felt. The shaft of the boots reaches the knees. They are half an inch thick. The soles are rubber soles that are particularly resistant to wear and tear. Wear these boots for the camel team to take a trip to Moscow.
It won't break." Yang Fan turned into a salesman and sold his felt boots hard.
This thing was produced in Duolun City. Now the fine-wool sheep have just arrived in the grassland, and they want to be sheared next year. The current wool is too hard and cannot be made into clothing fabrics, so it can only be made into felt. Yang Fan thought of future generations, and many people in the northeastern mountains would wear this kind.
Felt boots, if you add urala grass on them, they will be very warm. Your feet will not freeze at more than 40 degrees below zero.
Li Banghua, Minister of the Ministry of War, picked up a boot and looked at it and said: "Uncle Dingyuan, your boots are divided into left and right feet. They look really strong, and the soles are soft and elastic. What kind of material are they made of? You have made so many
What are the patterns for?"
Yang Fan explained: "The boots are raised to the knees to make it easier to march in the snow. Snow will not pour into the boots. If the snow melts into water, it will frostbite the feet. Separating the left and right feet prevents them from falling off. This way, the feet will fit.
It saves effort when walking. The sole is made of a material called rubber, which comes from the Americas and is shipped by sea ship. The pattern on the bottom is anti-skid to prevent slipping on ice and snow."
In fact, the soles of these shoes are made from used car tires, and of course they have textures.
Li Banghua and several other ministers, after hearing so many benefits, praised Yang Fan for his careful consideration.
Chongzhen was also very satisfied. Yang Fan was meticulous in his work. These details may seem like trivial matters, but if you think about it carefully, if the soldiers on the expedition had problems with their boots, they would have suffered a lot.
Bi Ziyan asked: "Uncle Dingyuan, how much does a pair of these boots cost?"
Yang Fan said: "The felt is not expensive, mainly because the soles are not cheap. But it is worth the money. The soles of these boots will not break after ten years of use. They only cost a hundred cents a pair."
Bi Ziyan bargained again and finally settled on 80 yuan for a pair.
Yang Fan was still satisfied with the price. Wool cost nothing at all in Duolun. It was just a bit of work to make it into felt, which cost a bit. Then the women's cooperative in the community used awls to hold the soles and sewed the cut felts. A pair of costs.
Ten cents is enough.
The soles are made of used tires, which are not expensive.
In the future, Ming Dynasty will enter a low-temperature mode, which will be cold for at least twenty years. Now in winter, Taihu Lake is so cold that you can walk a heavy-duty carriage. The market for this kind of boots is still very large. This kind of felt boots is especially suitable for people working in the field and on the road.
The Beijing camp has purchased this piece of goods, and it will quickly open up sales, which can be regarded as finding a job for the women in Duolun. After all, it is winter there for half the year, so it would be a pity not to do anything.
The remaining pullover-style thick cotton hats also received unanimous praise from everyone. This kind of hat only exposes the eyes and mouth, which can protect the face and nose from frostbite. I heard that in Guihua City, the nose will be wheezing for three to nine days.
The sound of inspection.
After the discussion about winter clothing was basically finished, Li Banghua, the Minister of War, said: "Your Majesty, during this expedition to Guihua City, we must also discuss the weapons and armor, food, grass, and luggage."
Dong Lin was determined this time to get the Beijing camp away from the imperial capital. Everyone knew that Yang Fan always suffered heavy casualties in wars. This was a good opportunity to kill with a borrowed knife and weaken the nobles. He kept pushing Yang Fan to take the Beijing camp away as soon as possible.
In fact, Yang Fan didn't want to lead the Beijing camp to attack Guihua City. His own troops were enough to capture the Tumuts. The Beijing camp was a burden.
Moreover, originally in history, next year, that is, the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally commanded more than 200,000 bannermen and the Mongolian allied forces broke through the Great Wall from Da'ankou into Beizhili, and attacked the city of Beijing. It was not until the third year of Chongzhen that they withdrew.
Caused huge damage to the Gyeonggi area.
Yang Fan's territory is located between Zunhua and Jizhou. It is the only place where the Qing army marches. If he returns to Guihua City, he may not be able to come back in time. Yang Fan must be fully prepared to minimize losses.
to the minimum.
However, the situation has changed dramatically now. Historically, Haraqin and Duoyan both defected to the Jian slaves, and the Mongolian region was opened wide. But now Yang Fan has changed history and emptied this area. Haraqin and Duoyan are except for the tribes that were annexed by Yang Fan.
The people are the nobles and defeated generals who fled to Shenyang.
Donglin planned to abolish the nine important towns and mobilize 200,000 to 300,000 troops to Chaoyang and Chifeng to build the city. In line with Lin Danhan's Chahar headquarters, three strongholds in Jinzhou, Chaoyang and Chifeng were used to build the city.
The slaves blocked the area east of the Liao River.
The plan is very good, and Yang Fan also thinks it is a genius plan. It can solve a considerable part of the Ming Dynasty's financial expenditure problems. But there are many variables here, and Yang Fan is very doubtful about such a big plan because it involves too many uncertain factors and
Variable. Whether it can be executed.
