"Miss, it's not a good idea for those refugees to sleep on the street all the time. They can hardly stand when they cross the street. I don't know when the weather will get better."
Lian'er sighed, the snow was really falling endlessly, and people were almost bored to death.
Those refugees, because they fled to the capital, had no one to take them in, so they could only sleep on the street corners like beggars.
"Ah Qing, come here quickly, look at what good stuff I found."
Bailia came to Su Qing's room unimpeded. She excitedly shook something in her hand that looked like cloth but didn't look like cloth.
"What?" Su Qing looked at her doubtfully.
Bailia handed the cloth in her hand to Su Qing as if showing off, "This cloth is not only waterproof but also warm, but its breathability is not very good. I heard Si Yifang say this is called oilcloth."
When Su Qing touched the material, it felt slippery, a bit like... thickened plastic wrap.
She pulled it with her hands and found it to be very flexible. She also used the cloth to compare it with the light and found that the light transmittance was particularly strong.
"How much more of this cloth is there?" Su Qing found that this oil cloth was a good thing.
This oilcloth reminded her of the greenhouse vegetables in her previous life.
If greenhouse vegetables are used to promote the economy, it will be much easier to survive this disaster.
"There are still a lot of this, I'm worried about how to deal with it?" Bailia put her chin on her hand, feeling a little worried.
This oilcloth was originally used to make shoes, but it had poor air permeability, so Si Yi Fang planned to burn the oilcloth.
When she saw it, she thought it was a bit wasteful, so she let her keep it. Although the cloth was not worth much, the price among the people was about the same as coarse cloth.
But when the people did not have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm, it was really a waste to throw away the oilcloth.
She would have to mention this matter to her father later, and sell the cloth she didn't need every year outside the palace, so that she could have some money left over.
However, this clothing store was under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the people in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were Empress Liu's people. She didn't believe that Empress Liu didn't make money from the cloth.
She had to find a way to get her father to hand over the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Concubine Li. This Empress Liu was the sister of King Pingnan.
Nowadays, Prince Pingnan's palace is very powerful, and Empress Liu is indispensable behind it.
Although she, Balia, is just a princess, she still knows everything about the goings-on in the court. Although the third brother is indispensable in this, she still knows it.
"This is easy to handle. You can transport all these cloths outside the palace and leave the rest to me."
Su Qing patted her chest with some pride and gave Bailia a mysterious look, which made her feel itchy like a kitten scratching her heart.
"By the way, have the old cotton clothes from the palace been shipped out?"
"Well, my father sent people to Jinxiu Pavilion to buy new cotton and make winter clothes for the palace people, so I collected a lot of old cotton clothes. I guess someone will come back today to distribute them."
After Baliya finished speaking, she returned to the palace.
Su Qing didn't waste any time, and immediately went to find Su Changyun outside the house who was giving porridge, and told him her plan.
"Okay, dad will let someone do it." Su Changyun agreed immediately, and he rubbed the top of Su Qing's hair.
He was now filled with guilt towards Su Qing and wanted to make up for the debt he had incurred in the past ten years.
He heard from Su Qing that he had two ten-year-old sons, and the day before he came back, he went back to the academy to study.
Su Qing originally wanted someone to call them back, but he stopped him.
To be honest, he was not ready to meet the two children. After all, he had not been with the brothers for a day since they were born.
Although he has often sent letters home over the years, he has never received a reply.
After he was granted the title of Lord Protector, he sent people to the West Village to inquire about Su Qing's family.
But when his subordinates arrived at the place, they found that Su Qing's family had moved away long ago. At the same time, he also knew that Aunt Tian had passed away long ago.
He originally wanted to come back, but he couldn't leave because of the emperor's orders.
Even if the two children disown him now, it is appropriate. After all, he has never raised them for a day, and he is not a good father after all.
