Chapter 204 Datang's New Costumes

"Sister-in-law, please help me see if this pattern is suitable for him?" A little girl shyly holding a sweater and was asking her sister-in-law.

"Aunt, please help me count. I want to knit a sweater for my child." In a short time, the women in Chang'an City were a little crazy. Whether they were officials, businessmen, or even the slaves at the bottom, they all had four bamboo needles and curly wool, and were busy knitting sweaters for their closest people.

However, the sweaters knitted by everyone are of different grades. Officials and even rich people knit cashmere threads, while others knitted wool. If this wool is not bad, it makes people feel a little itchy when wearing it. Naturally, those rich people are unwilling to wear it. But if it is knitted into a jacket, they still like to wear it. Yes, but, this level is reduced, so they have to abandon this sweater and only use cashmere threaded sweaters to wear it.

If we say that this was Yang Heng's mistake. He actually forgot the difference in hierarchy. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, the hierarchy was the strictest. How could slaves and some high-ranking officials wear the same clothes? However, Yang Heng did not regret that this kind of sweater can only be worn as warm clothes, not for showing off. When people at the bottom cannot afford to wear fur and other clothes to keep warm, how many people will be grateful to Yang Heng? Although they are only grateful to the princess, you must know that the wool and weaving method are spread from the princess' shop.

The princess' store, which is Changle's store, has been replaced by two places this time, one in the east city and one in the west city. The east city mainly uses fine cashmere thread and satin as the surface, which contains warm clothes filled with fluff.

Yang Heng did not think of the level, but thought of purchasing power, fluff thread, and clothes, which were quite expensive, but the price of wool thread in the West Market was to be cheap. It may even be impossible to make even manual labor.

"Princess, sister-in-law, why are you laughing at? You have to know that this store is not very profitable." "I just like this feeling. You see how happy people who buy wool are. This winter, they will definitely not be frozen." At this time, Changle was happy to do something that could share the worries of his father. You must know that in winter every year, whether in Chang'an City or outside the city, there will be some people who are frozen to death. They can't afford to keep warm clothes, so they will be frozen to death. This time, Yang Heng did such a thing. Although he couldn't get any profit from wool, he was still very happy.

"Oh, I don't understand you. There is nothing good here. Let's go to Dongshi to take a look." Although Xiao Niang knows a lot of things, but no one has told her about things like freezing people without clothes, so she naturally has no way to understand these things. If Yang Heng is here, then he will definitely think of Xiao Niang's future identity as a princess, or even a queen, so that she has to understand some of the sufferings of the people. Similarly, Changle also thought of this. Whether it is Yuzhang or Xiao Niang, she wants them to know something. She also thought of the princess, but she just wouldn't think of Xiao Niang as a queen. You must know that her position as a princess is very stable now.

In the East City, there are also many customers, and there are also many horses, carriages, ox carriages, and even horses parked in front of the store. Some of the officials' wives or some wives ride horses, which shows how attractive these wools are.

"Sister, you came to buy threads today, why didn't I know you have a husband-in-law?" "Ah, you're going to die, what kind of in-laws are you so that you can't be so damn it? I'm going to knit a sweater for my father and let him wear it in the armor so that he won't suffer in winter. Ah, I know, you have a husband-in-law. Are you buying sweaters for your lover?" "Well, what's so scary about this? He is also a member of the army, so he will naturally go to the battlefield. I'm the same as yours, and I'm going to give him a sweater to make him feel more comfortable in winter."

Why do they know these? In fact, these are advertisements specially made by Yang Heng. The advertisements in the West City are easy to say. They just arranged a few servants to greet some people who came out to buy things outside the door. "Auntie, come in and have a look. Our princess is kind-hearted. The newly developed wool thread can be knitted into clothes. If you wear it in winter, you won't be afraid of the cold. What, you don't know what clothes you are on me. Look at me. It's hot weather. I'm covering maggots. I'm easy for me." As she said, she pulled the clothes on her body and let everyone look at it. Sure enough, the sweat was rushing. "What, you don't know, we have a master in us who teaches people to knit sweaters. We don't charge money. Really, you can go in and have a look if you don't want to buy it." "Okay, let's go in and take a look, you can go in too. It's so warm on this hot weather. It's really covered maggots outside." The aunt said kindly.

"No, our princess said, we should benefit as many people as possible. Wear warm clothes in winter. Look how kind-hearted our princess is," it was not what your princess said, it was your princess who said it, but Yang Heng did instruct them to say so, how loving it is. The princess cares about the sufferings of the people and develops wool sweaters for the poor to keep warm.

Dongshi is a different person. A few servants and a few palace maids are performing pantomimes on the side. Why is it a pantomime? Because Yang Heng feels that this is really hard to express in words.

The content of the pantomime is two couples, both of whom are sending their husbands to war. When they are wearing armor, one man is wearing a single dress and trembling, while the wife puts on him armor on the side, while the other couple is wearing a single dress and trembling, and then his wife first puts on a pair of trousers and a sweater on his upper body. Because it is a cashmere-knitted sweater and sweater, it looks very thin, and the husband immediately feels warm. Then his wife puts on his armor again. Then the picture turns, the two men walk on the road together, making a horse-beating look. The one who is not wearing a sweater will tremble from time to time, while the other is moving forward happily, and even shows off to his companions, occasionally pretending to be sweating.

In the third act, both of them came back, and their wives were removing their armor. The wife, who was not wearing sweaters, struggled to remove the armor. Sometimes the husband would grin, meaning that he was injured, and the armor was stuck to his body, which was difficult to remove, and even felt very painful. The other couple was removing the armor happily, and the husband was still chewing something with his wife from time to time, meaning that he would thank his wife for knitting such a sweater for himself, so that he would suffer less on the battlefield.

Finally, Yang Heng also made a funny job for him to hang the so-called military medal for later generations on his neck. After his husband took off his armor, he struggled to break the military medal in half, half hanging it on his neck, and half found a rope to tie it around his wife's neck, while his wife cried with joy.

Especially in summer, it was performing the winter scene, and it felt very funny. She was sweating, but she had to pretend to be very cold, which made people laugh.

"How is it, princess sister-in-law, my design is good, the effect is very good, how do you reward me?" Xiao Niang said proudly. It turned out that this was a pantomime directed by Xiao Niang. Yang Heng just gave a general outline and actually performed such a good effect. Such a performance caused many women to come to buy threads and learn to knit sweaters. Changle made a big room at the right time to let these ladies and ladies study, tea, cold drinks, and some snacks be served from time to time. Although it is free, who will leave like this when he leaves? Who doesn't throw a piece of silver or a string of copper coins at will? After the final calculation, the income is actually more than the income from selling yarn. The business of this rich man is easy to do!
