With Wang Wan's help, Ran Fang's textile factory soon took shape.
Yi Bai and Gong Shuyan were also very fast. After Wang Wan had arranged everything, the hydraulic looms they had made were also put into the textile factory.
As a result, many people inside and outside Xianyang City, both men and women, not only have their own land for planting, but also can earn more income. The entire atmosphere in the city has improved a lot.
In addition, this imperial examination is indeed as mentioned before, as long as the selected people have their own official positions, just like a doctor can also be an official doctor in the palace.
This is definitely a good thing for people who already have a prosperous life.
From high-ranking officials to peasants and lackeys, all kinds of praise for Ying Zheng emerged in an endless stream.
Ying Zheng was sitting in the carriage, listening to the words of the people, not to mention how happy he was.
Even though he has never cared about being scolded, he can't help but feel a little relieved when he hears so many compliments now. This shows that what he does is visible to the people.
That was enough for him.
Until he arrived at Ran Fang's mansion, the smile on his face had not yet gone away.
It was rare to see Ying Zheng so happy, so Ran Fang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in a good mood today?"
"I wonder what happened?"
Entering the room, Ying Zhengxiao sat on a chair. Wei Liang, who was following him, said, "When you came, your majesty heard the people talking on the road, and they all praised your majesty."
After saying this, Ran Fang understood
Even Ying Zheng, the emperor of the ages, is inevitably tacky and likes to hear good things.
"Your Majesty has done so many good things, and it is natural for the people to praise him."
"If they knew that His Majesty just passed them by, I am afraid they would all kowtow and kneel down to thank His Majesty for his kindness."
These words made Ying Zheng laugh even more, and he couldn't hold back the smile on his lips.
However, he quickly calmed down the expression on his face, and only the slightly raised corners of his mouth showed his mood at the moment.
"You invited me here today, but what's the important matter?"
While they were talking, several more people came in at the door. They were Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Wan and others who had just come to see Ran Fang a few days ago.
This is the first time Ran Fang has seen so many people gathered here.
"See Your Majesty."
Li Si and others were a little surprised when they saw Ying Zheng was there. When they met other people at the door just now, they thought they were specially invited, but there were so many people there.
After coming in, I discovered that Ying Zheng had also been invited.
When Ying Zheng saw the other people who suddenly came in, the expression on his face softened a lot, and he couldn't even guess what Ran Fang was going to do.
"Everyone, get up."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ran Fang stood up and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."
"I invite your majesty and your lords here today. I have something for you to take a look at."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly, and eight guards immediately filed in, each holding a piece of clothing.
It's just that the clothes look different from what they are wearing.
"Everyone, please take a look."
Hearing this, all the adults stood up and touched the clothes with their hands. They were all a little surprised.
Some people unfold their clothes and want to see how they are different from ordinary clothes?
"Sir, these clothes are just thicker and softer to the touch than our clothes. There seems to be no difference in other aspects?"
"What's the use?"
This was the voice of Meng Yi. After he gave all his money to Ran Fang, he began to regret it when he woke up.
It was Ran Fang's idea to make cotton-padded clothes. He could contribute money and effort, but he couldn't pay for everything, right?
The mansion was almost empty in one go. Ran Fang had collected all the family property over the years, and ended up with just these few clothes?
His heart became even more unbalanced, and when he looked at Ran Fang, there was still some threat in his eyes, as if Ran Fang wanted to say that this was the only thing he could kill Ran Fang into pieces in front of Ying Zheng.
Wang Wan, who also had a lot of things coming out, pinched back and forth on the clothes with her hands, put her hands in to feel it, looked at Ran Fang with some surprise, and asked: "Sir, is this the cotton-padded clothes you are talking about?"
"Cotton coat?!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard these two words. After all, they had heard about this cotton coat, but this was the first time they saw it.
Even Ying Zheng was a little curious. Looking at the cotton coat placed in front of him by the attendant, he couldn't help but touch it.
"good."
Wang Wan asked again: "Are the duck feathers, wool and goose feathers inside this clothes?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Ran Fang, and some even picked up the clothes and smelled them, trying to make sure there was no animal smell on them.
But it doesn't seem to have any taste.
Ran Fang stepped forward, picked up a piece of clothing, handed it to Meng Yi's hand, and asked, "How do you like it?"
They just touched it, but no one picked it up to feel it. Meng Yi was a little surprised and said: "So light?"
"You didn't put anything in there?"
Ran Fang smiled and replied: "This clothes is called a down jacket, and what is inside is what Wang Yushi mentioned just now."
"However, the fur of these animals has been treated, so it doesn't have any smell and is particularly warm."
"In winter, just wear a few sweaters underneath and a down jacket like this outside, and that's enough to get you through the winter."
Although the name is down jacket, in order to make it better accepted by the people of Da Qin, Ran Fang did not make too many innovations in the style of the clothes, but only changed the thickness of the clothes.
So when they heard the name, they didn't have much reaction, and Meng Yi even tried on the clothes himself.
While putting it on, he asked, "What sweater are you talking about?"
“Sweaters are made from wool, which is made into thread and then woven into clothing.”
Although everyone didn't understand and had never seen it, they all nodded seriously.
Ran Fang knew that they didn't understand, and had no intention of explaining in detail. He just said: "In a few days, a clothes shop will open in the city. It will sell these down jackets and things made of wool. If you are interested, sir , you can go visit then.”
“Not only are there sweaters, but there are also scarves, gloves and other things to keep out the cold.”
Although the clothing store has not yet been completed, with so many people present, it doesn't matter if he advertises it.
The ministers all nodded. Who didn't know that a large part of the money Ran Fang earned was given to the national treasury, so supporting Ran Fang was supporting Da Qin.
"As long as your husband asks, we will definitely go and buy it ourselves."
"I'm just worried that my husband won't be able to sell enough clothes by then."
Ran Fang smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, the garment factory has already started preparations. There will be more people working on it, and the clothes will definitely be enough to sell."
"However, before selling clothes, I want to make enough for the soldiers to survive the winter, so I will sell them to us."
"So my lords, I'm afraid you have to wait for a while."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng became more satisfied with Ran Fang and was also very interested in the things made of wool he mentioned.
"good!"
"Blessed are the people and officers of Great Qin."
"I think we can have a warm winter this year."
