I am engaged in construction in Datang

Today is the morning.

Fang Xuanling got up early and dressed carefully.

Lu Liangxi was still sleeping nearby. He sensed the movement and said in a daze, "Qiao Lang, I knitted a bicycle seat cover for you. I've put it on the table. Go put on the protective leather..."

Fang Xuanling responded and tucked the quilt for his wife.

After washing up, he went to get the woolen bag.

When my wife came back yesterday, she also rode a bicycle. She said that the factory sympathized with her because she had a long commute to work. Other young ladies lived in the staff dormitory, but she had to drive a horse-drawn carriage out of the city all day.

But his family only had one emergency carriage, and if she used it, Qiao Lang would have to walk every day.

So her boss gave her a shorter 28-inch bicycle, and she rode it home yesterday. The eight or nine mile journey was reached in the blink of an eye.

Women are all careful and she also takes good care of the car, so she started knitting the seat covers overnight.

After Fang Xuanling had tidied everything, he saw two crimson seat covers and a thumb-shaped woolen bone doll on the table.

He first took the seat cover and put it on the bicycle, and it was just the right size.

Patting the seat with his hand, Fang Xuanling was in a good mood and tied the bone to the dog again.

After doing all this, he pushed the 28-inch bicycle out, leaving the silver bag for his wife to ride, and since he was tall, he could ride the 28-inch bicycle.

When Lu Liangxi woke up in the morning, he saw the silver-wrapped bicycle left at home, and he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I feel comfortable riding a 28-inch bicycle when I'm on the road... You left me a bag of money, or I'll be exhausted to death."

Xuanzheng Hall.

Several ministers came here today on bicycles.

Not only Fang Xuanling and his people, but also Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were shameless and insisted on taking away the four silver-covered carriages left by Li Shimin.

They all arrived on their bikes, ringing their bike bells from time to time, making others envious.

The civil and military officials who usually did not get along with each other were miraculously discussing their cycling experiences today.

"Old Fang, why are you riding a bicycle? Where are you from?" Cheng Yaojin saw Fang Xuanling riding towards him and immediately walked forward.

"My wife's." Fang Xuanling puffed out his chest, feeling proud.

Before, this group of people always laughed at his wife for being so powerful, but now his wife can get a big bike by herself. You guys are so envious!

Fang Xuanling said calmly, "It's nothing! You all know that Madam is now the factory director, and Zhuangzi just gave her a big pole to ride on."

Cheng Yaojin: "..."

How come this old house has become like this?

The other ministers who didn't have a car were even more envious. We don't have one, but you, Fang Xuanling with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually have two cars at home!

"What's covered on your seat?" But Cheng Yaojin was still curious. Among the eight carriages here, only Lao Fang's seat was covered with something, and it was different from cloth.

It must be because of his wife's help!

"This is called a woolen seat cover. I'm sure you've all heard of it. The factory my wife runs produces wool, so she wove two seat covers to protect the leather." Fang Xuanling said, and he also demonstrated the elasticity of wool to everyone. This cover can be buckled directly on the seat, and it is very convenient to change and wash.

Fang Xuanling then showed the puppy and bones hanging on his robe to everyone: "This is also a doll made by my wife. It is unique in the world!"

“……”Everyone is so jealous.

The door of Xuan Zheng Hall opened and everyone entered one after another.

Everyone was a little absent-minded during the morning court session today, mainly because the old house was too stimulating.

"My dear ministers, do you know about the woolen yarn factory?" Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, spoke.

The ministers below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment. Was His Majesty going to start showing off too?

"The woolen yarn factory mainly produces a kind of knitted material called wool." Li Shimin asked Wang De to give several balls of wool of different colors, as well as sweaters and scarves knitted from wool, to his ministers.

"Everyone, feel the warmth of the wool."

Everyone passed it around and praised it.

Soon, Fang Xuanling came out and said, "Your Majesty, woolen clothes can be promoted vigorously. If every family in the people can have a sweater, winter will be much warmer."

Li Shimin nodded: "Just as Lord Fang said, if wool can enter the homes of ordinary people, everyone will have a much better time in winter."

"Moreover, wool can not only be used to weave clothes, but also to make dolls." Li Shimin showed the pony tied to his robe to everyone: "Lord Fang, you should know this."

When Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin say this, he also showed his puppy.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

"..." Everyone.

How about we go?

Fang Xuanling walked back to his seat, sat down, and held his head high and chest out.

"The raw material of this yarn is wool, but the Central Plains is not suitable for breeding long-wool sheep in large quantities. What do you think?"

Everyone was shocked. Why did they feel like a storm was coming?

Last time, we were discussing Tuyuhun. Now Tuyuhun is already in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

The army was unstoppable all the way. Even if Murong Shun and other kings surrendered, they were still captured. In the end, except for civilians, nobles and soldiers, anyone who was able to move, regardless of gender, was abducted back.

Now on the way back!

this time……

"There is no rush for the wool issue." Li Shimin dropped a big bomb, and then took a sudden turn: "Let's talk about the biogas tank experimental village first..."

……

The past three days at the village have been busier than usual, and everyone has been working all night long.

Li Yin said that June 18th will be more lively than everyone imagined, and all kinds of goods must be prepared in sufficient quantities, and the prizes for the lottery cannot be missing.

The rewards come in different sizes. Li Yin did not divide them into different levels, but directly wrote the prizes, which include white sugar, milk candy, salt, tea, meat floss, oil, etc.

The items with low value account for a large proportion, such as five milk candies, half a pound of salt, a blank piece of paper... For Zhuangzi's productivity, the cost of these is only a few cents.

But for ordinary people outside, these are all good things, such as milk candy, which no one has ever eaten.

High-value products account for a small proportion, such as tea, oil, soap, meat floss...

Li Xiaosong and others used stamps to print prizes on small wooden pieces. Each person only printed one thing, and when the number was enough, they would get another one.

Then stuff the wood chips into a round mold and fill the mold with red wax. After it dries, remove the mold and thumb-sized round red wax balls will appear.

This is the lottery tool.

At that time, all the red wax balls will be put into the box, and everyone will reach in and draw blindly. This will ensure double confidentiality.

The people who make the lottery balls are all from the village, and no one would keep them privately. After all, even a gold-plated bicycle is available to the villagers if they want it, so there is no need to hide these small prizes.

It’s just that no one wants to ride a gold or silver bike, because it’s too high-profile. They prefer to ride a 28-inch bike with big wheels and fast running speed.

The factory also worked overtime. Lu Liangxi lived in the factory for three consecutive days. June 18 was the first sales day for the wool yarn in their factory, and the women were all eager to become famous.
