"Your Majesty, there is news from the counties around Chang'an city that many places have been hit by snow!" soon after Li Shimin was in Changle palace, pound hurried to report.
"Snow disaster!!"
Looking at the thick snow on the eaves of the Changle palace, Li Shimin's heart sank.
Pound bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the blizzard was very sudden, and the snow was thick. Even many houses in Chang'an City were collapsed. Sanyuan county was the hardest hit among all counties."
Li Shimin knows that most people are thatched huts. I'm afraid only a village like Mojia village will not suffer from such a heavy snowfall. I'm afraid the other villages will be damaged to varying degrees.
"Send orders to all counties to immediately organize people to clean the snow on the roof and make sure to resettle the victims," Li Shimin ordered.
"Yes!" pound immediately went down to give orders.
"Father, it's freezing now. I'm afraid the affected people can't last long. Let the Red Cross organize people to participate in the rescue!" Princess Changle said anxiously.
"So good!" Li Shimin solemnly nodded. Now the Red Cross Society has participated in various disasters and played more and more roles, which has been highly praised by the people.
Soon the news about the snow disaster in Sanyuan spread all over Chang'an city. Chang'an ordered Su Luosheng to personally lead the Yamen soldiers to investigate the dangerous houses in Chang'an City and arrange all workshops to clean the snow in the cold.
"It's really cold in this damn weather!" Su Luo stamped his feet coldly. As a county magistrate, he can naturally afford fur clothes. However, it's official time now. If he appears in Chang'an City in fur clothes, he may be played in court by the imperial historian the next day!
Other yamen servants are also gnashing their teeth to support and command the people to clean the snow on the roof in the severe cold. After all, this is the task of your majesty. They can only gnash their teeth to support, especially at the foot of the emperor. There can be no mistakes.
"The new cotton padded clothes and quilts from Mojia village are the best things to keep out the cold, so that you won't be cold this winter!"
Suddenly a cry of selling attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an County Government.
"Cotton padded clothes, quilt!"
"Something to keep out the cold!"
However, ordinary people don't know cotton padded clothes and quilts, but how can suluosheng know that the most important reason why the imperial court passed Merton's Tang silk system is that cotton is about to be popularized. How can he not get the news that mojiazi personally persuaded his ministers with cotton padded clothes and quilts.
"This is the cotton padded clothes that Mo Jijiu said! How much is it?"
Su Luosheng curiously went to the peddler's son of Mohism and looked at the strange cotton padded clothes in front of him. He saw that the style of this cotton padded clothes was very long and could even cover his knees. If someone in later generations were here, I'm afraid he would despise Merton's evil taste. Isn't this a common military coat in later generations? The time left for Mojia village is limited. In order to prepare goods as much as possible, Merton simply asked Mojia village to produce only this style of cotton clothes, and designated the color as military green.
"It's the magistrate of Su County!" behind the children of Mohism, Xu Jie flashed his eyes and walked out to salute.
"Two hundred pence for a cotton coat and three hundred pence for a quilt!" Xu Jie asked the Mohist children to greet others and personally introduced them to Su Luosheng.
"Two hundred Wen a piece!" suluosheng frowned. The price is not cheap! It is almost equivalent to the income of ordinary citizens in a month.
Xu Jie naturally understood Su Luosheng's idea, picked up a military green cotton coat and said: "This coat is warmer than fur clothes, but the price is less than half of fur clothes. You can wear it to keep warm during the day, and it can be used as a quilt when you sleep at night! And this quilt is warmer than silk quilt, and the price is less than 30% of silk quilt. It can be said that the price is fair!"
You should know that fur clothes and silk quilts are expensive, and only dignitaries can have them. I'm afraid ordinary people can only fill hemp clothes with something to keep out the cold during the winter. Even in the Tang Dynasty, paper clothes were very popular. Paper clothes specially thickened to keep out the cold are called "paper fur" , the raw materials are usually sewn with thick and strong paper, which is tough and durable. It can not only wear well, but also withstand the wind and cold. In addition, it is cheap. It is a necessary thing for poor people to go out.
When Su Luosheng was a child, he aggravated his hardship by wearing paper clothes to keep out the cold. When he saw the cotton coat, his heart suddenly moved. If it was really as Xu Jie said, it might be the best thing to keep out the cold all winter.
"This thing really keeps out the cold as you said!" Su Luosheng said. The warmth keeping effect of this thing is comparable to that of fur clothes, but it is not luxurious. In this way, it solves the problem of warmth keeping without being criticized by the court. It is simply sleepy and sent to the pillow.
"You will know as soon as you try!" Xu Jie said confidently.
The biggest advantage of the military coat is that it can be worn directly outside. The thick military coat is draped over Su Luosheng's shoulder, which immediately blocks the cold wind from his body, and his trembling body immediately warms up.
"Sure enough, it's the best way to keep out the cold!" Su Luosheng praised. It's lighter than paper fur and as warm as fur clothes.
"Magistrate Su and all of you, it's really a blessing for the people to rush for the people and treat the snow disaster regardless of the wind and snow. I admire it. I'd like to present some cotton padded clothes as a token of respect." Xu Jie heard that cotton padded clothes are new, and the people don't know much about them. If we can let Su Luosheng and these yamen wear them and run around the streets, it's no less than a live advertisement.
Su Luosheng laughed and said, "it's not necessary. Although I'm honest, I can afford 200 Wen. Moreover, I've heard about the situation of Mojia village. You're welcome."
As soon as suluosheng waved, a servant immediately sent two coins of silver.
Xu Jie was not modest and accepted the Tao directly. "Thank you, sir. I also care about the victims of the snow disaster in Mojia village. The young master said that every time I sell a cotton padded jacket and quilt, I will donate ten Wen to the victims to show my heart."
"Mohou has a heart. If the world is like mohou, our country will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!" Su Luosheng said sincerely.
"I'm flattered," said Xu Jie politely.
With Su Luosheng's leadership, all the Yamen servants were immediately armed with a military green coat and ran through the streets of Chang'an City, just like a beautiful scenery in the cold wind.
Soon, the warmth preservation effect of cotton coats immediately spread throughout Chang'an city. In the severe cold, many citizens who could not afford fur clothes and silk quilts immediately heard the wind and went directly to Mohist boutiques.
Soon, cotton padded clothes and quilts were sold one by one. Word of mouth said that everyone praised their warmth preservation effect. In addition, the Red Cross donated ten Wen for each piece in Mojia village, which made the reputation of cotton padded clothes and quilts burst,
Warm people and warm hearts, making this cold winter suddenly more warm.
