Chapter 659 Little General II
After receiving the plot, Linlang began to think about what to do next. The first thing was the clothes these people were wearing. In this era, cotton has not yet come out, so the soldiers relied on ordinary Gebu, which was hard and
It's thick, very uncomfortable to wear, and not warm at all.
Linlang knew that this area faced the prairie, and there was a habit of raising cattle and sheep. Wool could be made into woolen sweaters, which were warm and lightweight.
Thinking about it, she took action. Linlang spent a lot of money, bought a lot of wool, washed it, found an embroiderer who was good at embroidery, made the wool into thread, and spun it into clothes!
"Seventh brother, I heard that you have been looking for wool for a while and are still looking for an embroiderer. What do you want to do? Is it possible that you have brought your noble son's habits here? If you want to tailor clothes, I advise you to save money.
Well, if dad finds out, I will beat you to death!" It was the third brother who spoke, and he looked at his seventh brother with hatred.
Linlang smiled, took out a sweater from his box, and threw it over, "How could I be so stupid? During the time I came here, I found that many soldiers had no clothes to wear. That's not okay. Here
It’s extremely cold in the winter, and if you don’t wear good clothes, you may get sick easily as you get older!
Look, these are the clothes I had people make, try them on!"
Looking at the white clothes, which were completely different from the clothes he was wearing, the third child didn't know how to turn them over for a long time, and shook his head in confusion.
"Your idea is good, but...how do you wear this thing? Did you do it wrong?" Lao San said doubtfully.
Linlang burst out laughing, and helped the third child take off his heavy armor, and then took off a robe, leaving only the undershirt and trousers, and helped him put on the woolen sweater.
"Alas..." Lao San was not a fool. He immediately felt the benefits of this clothing and turned around happily, "Lao Qi, you have done a great thing!"
"Brother, I've thought about it. It's easy to build this house. I just need some wool. We raise a lot of sheep here, so wool should be easy to get!"
Aren’t there many lonely elderly people in our family? There are also some children, we can let them help spin clothes, and we will pay some money. In this way, we can not only get something, but also provide good accommodation for those elderly and children!
Not only that, I also thought about it, these things can not only be made into underwear, but also into pants!
If the things are well made, we can sell them to others and use them as military expenses, what do you think?"
When the third child heard this, he looked at his younger brother in surprise and sighed: "The seventh child, I have only been out for a year or two, how come you have changed so much, and why are you so smart!
Your idea is indeed a good one, I’ll leave this matter to you, but it’s better not to tell dad about business matters!”
Although General Yang is patriotic and loves the people, he is also an old man who scorns business matters!
Linlang had adopted many lonely old people. General Yang knew about this. He sighed after learning about this, and he also agreed with his son's approach!
But a month later, when he saw their results, he was shocked, especially those sweaters and woolen pants, as well as some furry ears, scarves and gloves. They were very warm, so he just wore one piece of clothing outside.
, I don’t feel the cold at all.
Linlang used these things to create a textile camp and sold these things to merchants. Those merchants naturally saw the secrets. With the addition of wool, they could outline anything and then dye it with colors. It would be so colorful.
, eye-catching.
After getting the money, Linlang went directly to the merchant in the Western Regions and bought seeds, including peppers, cotton, potatoes and sweet potatoes. These seeds took a lot of effort on his part, but the effect was obvious.
People in the frontier have food to eat again, and the food is also prosperous and diverse. The originally empty city has become crowded with people, and people's faces also show a look of hope.
It has only been three short years. It was originally an empty city, but now it has become prosperous and lively. General Yang would be lying if he said he was not proud, especially in these years, more people means more troops, and the barbarians on the opposite side have eaten them several times.
A loss.
It can be said that Linlang is very rich. Most of the shops in the city are owned by him, and he has hands and feet in many businesses. He is not limited to this and has also trained many secret guards.
General Yang didn't know this, but his two brothers knew about it. After learning about it, they specifically came to talk to Linlang.
"What on earth did you think, and you trained a secret guard?"
"Not only that, I heard that you have many spies in many brothels and restaurants. What do you want to do?"
Linlang looked at them and said calmly: "Don't forget one sentence, it's called master of great power!
If things don’t happen, it’s naturally good. If they happen, this is also a way out for us. Taking one or two more steps in everything is not necessarily wrong!”
The two brothers were silent, lowered their heads for a long time and said: "Okay, don't let dad know about this, and do things in a more concealed manner. There is no impermeable wall in the world..."
Linlang nodded. In fact, he deliberately revealed it to his two brothers. After discovering that the two brothers were standing beside him, he became more and more bold, made many mistakes, and began to bribe people in the court.
Not far from the border, Linlang found coal. The minerals here were still rich. With these things, it became more convenient for people in the northwest to spend the winter. Coupled with the greenhouse vegetables he made, this place in the northwest became people's favorite place.
The longing for paradise.
"I received news yesterday that the barbarians summoned dozens of tribes on the border and said they had a million-strong army and were preparing to attack here!"
It was Linlang who spoke, and he also placed some people on the barbarian side, so he got the news.
"No, we have to quickly request support from the imperial court!" There are only more than 200,000 people in the border area. How can we fight against a million-strong army? It is simply a mantis blocking the car, and we are overestimating our capabilities.
"I'm afraid it's too late..." The third child's face looked a little pale.
Linlang frowned. When this happened in the previous life, it was still ten years later. At that time, the emperor was deeply afraid of them, and it only happened after they died. Why did it happen earlier in this life?
