Traveling through time as a peasant girl, she goes farming with a trading system

Chapter 194
Du Jinyi smiled wickedly, and whispered a few words to him.

When Huangfu Mohan heard this, his face darkened immediately, "I still think that the upbringing of these rich and powerful daughters is really the same as the rumors, but I didn't expect to be so shameless. It's really an eye-opener. Fortunately, I didn't go in, otherwise it would be like this." The old lady agrees!"

"I didn't intend to go to her today, but I just wanted to tell you something. You were not here. When she sent a palace servant to look for me, I followed her to see her."

Du Jinyi said sullenly.

"Huh? What do you want to tell me? Wait a minute, Ruizhe, you go back first. I also said that you usually don't come back so early. Today is an exception. Did you miss me?"

Huangfu Mohan, who was still smug, suddenly became happy, and couldn't help sending Huangfu Ruizhe away, and eagerly wanted to go forward...

"You took off your clothes..."

Du Jinyi didn't see Huangfu Mohan's hasty actions, so he turned around and told Lu'er to get the package she wanted.

Huangfu Mohan didn't hesitate at all, as soon as his interest came up, he was about to bottom out.

Du Jinyi turned to look over and quickly stopped, "Don't take it off, come on, put on this coat and see if it's comfortable or not?"

Looking at the not-so-good-looking padded coat Du Jinyi handed over, Huangfu Mohan was flustered by the wind for a moment.

But he quickly took it and put it on calmly.

"This...is this the down jacket you mentioned earlier? It's really warm."

Although it didn't look good, it was comfortable and breathable to wear. Huangfu Mohan touched it and realized the fluff inside.

Du Jinyi smiled and nodded, "Yes, when I made this cotton thread, I was waxed, and then coated with a layer after making it into fabric, so the fabric is not easy to be soaked by water."

Du Jinyi picked up a cup of tea and poured it on his clothes, and all the water drops fell to the ground.

"You see, it is also waterproof. In addition, the most important thing is that it is light and breathable. By the way, I also had someone make a quilt, which is also very light. There are interlayers on both sides, which can be used by soldiers. Put some things they think are more important. If they need to move, they can also be folded. You see, fold it like me, and then buckle it like this, so that the things inside will not fall out. Pillows, I also want to sleep at night If they want to sleep, they can fold their down jackets and use them as pillows, which saves an expense and is more convenient.

In addition, I also made a handbag, which can put clothes and quilts together, which is simple and beautiful.

I used duck feathers for the down inside the clothes and quilts, and filled them with some wool. I calculated all the materials. A complete set would cost nearly 30 cash, and 15 soldiers at the border would cost about taels of silver.

Of course, this set is only the standard equipment for an ordinary soldier. If it is a general, the required set is different.

You see, this is an improved version of my design. The clothes are made of waxed colored threads, with patterns embroidered. Unlike the buttons on ordinary cotton clothes, this is a zipper developed by me. You can see that when you pull it lightly, the whole body It will be in an airtight and breathable state. This quilt is a twin quilt. Open it with a zipper and it will become two quilts. When the weather is slightly warmer, you can cover one quilt. Cover two.

Of course, the quilt is stuffed with goose down, no matter the texture or grade, compared with the suits of ordinary soldiers, it can be judged whether it is good or bad. "

Huangfu Mohan was very surprised when he heard it, he wore his overcoat and went outside for a walk, and when he came back he took it off and put on an improved one, he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad, it's really cold at all, and it's still a little hot to wear now. It must be just right when we get to the border. How much do you think you need for all the suits? 15 taels?"

"Well, it is conservatively estimated that 15 taels is needed, and the maximum difference should not exceed 2 taels."

"Have you counted the labor cost?"

Hearing Huangfu Mohan's question, Du Jinyi shook his head helplessly, "I can't be so greedy for money knowing that the national treasury is empty. If it needs to be done urgently, I will find thousands of people and spend tens of thousands of taels of silver in a month. It might not work out.”

Huangfu Mohan smiled, stepped forward to hug her, bowed his head and said, "Jin'er, you can safely and boldly say a number, as long as you can earn it, how much money do you think these 30 sets of cotton-padded clothes and quilts will cost?"

Du Jinyi blinked and blurted out a number, "25 taels!"

"Sure?"

Du Jinyi nodded vigorously, 25 taels was more than enough, enough for her to get kickbacks from it.

Huangfu Mohan stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, "30 taels!"

"Ah? Is there so much treasury?" Du Jinyi was a little skeptical for a while.

"Don't save me, I'll pick it up from those ministers tomorrow!" Huangfu Mohan vowed.

Du Jinyi couldn't help but chuckle, being a civil servant in Huangfu Mohan's hands, I'm afraid it has a lot of history.

What the two of them didn't know at this time was that the affairs in the palace spread like a gust of wind, and it was said that Concubine Jin had no one in her eyes and no education at all. Don't stay in the palace, just walk the streets and alleys.

These words were also spoken verbatim in the court hall the next day, Huangfu Mohan did not refute, he only asked people to go out to check the weather, and asked Qin Tianjian to check the weather in recent days.

Qin Tianjian also answered truthfully that there will be a heavy rain in three days and the cold wind will drop suddenly, so he may need to wear more clothes to keep out the cold.

Huangfu Mohan immediately said a good word, and notified all the ministers present to hold a banquet in the palace two days later, and asked the ministers to bring their relatives to the palace for the banquet.

These words made all the ministers puzzled. Didn't they say that the treasury is empty, and they will go to the country of Liang to compete in the next year. Why is there a banquet in the palace all of a sudden?

And the first emperor has only passed away for a few months, so let's hold a banquet in the palace with great fanfare, okay?

A minister bit the bullet and asked Huangfu Mohan what the banquet was for, Huangfu Mohan smiled and said, "I will tell you when that day comes."

"Your Majesty, is this banquet only for our civil servants?" Some ministers were afraid that Huangfu Mohan would have objections to these civil servants, so they deliberately wanted to have a grand banquet, so they raised their mouths cautiously.

Huangfu Mohan said indifferently, "Civil and military officials, those who work in Beijing, and those with family members, can go to the banquet, no need to bring gifts!"

Hearing that, the ministers were all relieved, originally they were looking for some chance for the emperor to meet their daughter, but this banquet is a good chance.

Some ministers still wanted to ask how to deal with Concubine Jin's matter, but Huangfu Mohan stood up and said, "Retire!"

After leaving the imperial court, Mo Han excitedly went to look for Du Jinyi, but yesterday he tormented her hard all night, I don't know if he is up now.

As soon as I came to Jiaofang Palace, I saw the maids of Ningkun Palace carrying a pile of flower branches and gallbladder bottles.

"Wait, what are you doing here?" Huangfu Mohan stopped these people with a dark face.

"Back to the emperor, the empress dowager said that she learned from the pain yesterday, reflected on herself, and decided to treat everyone equally. Yesterday, the empress dowager invited the daughters of princes and ministers to practice flower arrangement, and today she specially asked the servants to come over and send some flowers to the concubine Jin. Come here, let the Empress Dowager Jin also practice flower arrangement, and after the arrangement is finished, the Empress Dowager Jin needs to go personally to ask the Empress Dowager for guidance."

Huangfu Mohan glanced at the flowers in their hands, asked the eunuchs next to him to follow, and then sent the maids back.
