Zhuge Liang nodded after hearing this.

Two days later, Dong Feng, who was locked in his room reading, was taken to Xiangyang.

After returning, he said to Zhuge Tian: "Brother, it has been done."

"Oh? How did you do it?" Zhuge Tian asked curiously.

"Didn't my cousin say that day that I would give Liu Biao some sweet treats? I thought about it and brought Dong Feng to meet Liu Biao through my brother-in-law today."

"Dong Feng gave Liu Biao two dietary prescriptions, claiming they could help him recover. He also gave him a simplified version of military first aid techniques."

"In wars nowadays, many soldiers who died did not die directly on the battlefield, but their injuries could not be healed after the war. I gave Liu Biao some methods of disinfection and anti-inflammation."

"Then Dong Feng took the opportunity to offer to treat the people of Jingzhou in our Wolong Village. We can use Liu Biao's name. The people who are cured will surely be grateful to Liu Biao for his kindness. With him behind this clinic, at least no one in Jingzhou will dare to cause trouble."

Liu Biao was originally very good to the people.

When he was in power, the people of Jingzhou were able to live and work in peace and contentment.

After listening to Zhuge Liang and others' proposal, he agreed to it.

He also gave some money to build a clinic.

"Okay, then let's ask someone to build the clinic as soon as possible." Zhuge Tian nodded. They had no intention of rebelling now.

That reputation was given to Liu Biao.

This matter has been settled.

At this time, Liao Hua came over again and said with difficulty: "Hanxing, the winter clothes you asked everyone to make are too difficult."

In the past, wealthy people would wear animal skins to survive the winter.

The poor used the reed catkins as filler.

After all, there was no cotton at this time.

Animal skin clothing is expensive, heavy, and difficult to maintain.

Reed catkin clothes are not as good at keeping warm.

Now that winter is approaching, Zhuge Tian bought several thousand kilograms of cotton in the system so that everyone can sew a cotton coat.

When winter comes, you can wear it during the day and cover yourself at night.

But what I didn't expect was that the people in Wolong Village were all rough men, and ironmaking and leather making were not difficult for them.

But it is too difficult to pick up needle and thread to sew a cotton coat with fine stitches.

"In that case, let's ask someone to do it!" Zhuge Tian sighed. It was indeed his inconsiderateness.

"Are we going to Deng County to invite you?"

"Yeah." Zhuge Tian nodded. In this era, most common women knew how to sew.

I've never heard of anyone throwing away clothes or sending them out for mending when they're torn.

They were all sewn and patched up and worn by myself.

"Ask Old Man Huang to help put up a notice, inviting the women of Deng County to help sew cotton-padded clothes for us. For each piece... we need ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of potato flour, sweet potato flour, cornmeal, or something like that."

This group of people who went out to sell grain only sold rice.

Zhuge Tian doesn’t sell potatoes and sweet potatoes, but it’s easy for people to buy them and plant them.

He is not a philanthropist with the world in his heart. As long as the people in Wolong Village are not hungry, other places have little to do with him.

Even the potatoes and sweet potatoes harvested in Wolong Village are mostly ground into powder.

Corn is also ground into cornmeal.

"Okay!" Liao Hua nodded. "Then I'll go find Old Man Huang this afternoon."

Wolong Village has plenty of food, so we can afford this.

Moreover, the people they were looking for were from Deng County, which was governed by Old Man Huang, so it could be considered a disguised form of support.

Old Man Huang was naturally happy when he heard the news about Liao Hua.

Even in Jingzhou, many people still had to go hungry during the winter.

It's always good to give them more food.

But we can't ask all the people to go to Wolong Village to sew clothes.

Finally, the two of them discussed it.

The cloth and cotton were directly brought to Deng County and distributed by Huang Zhong's men.

The material for a cotton-padded jacket is three pounds of cotton.

One catty in the Eastern Han Dynasty weighed 224 grams, and three catties was roughly a little more than one catty today.

It would be fine if the clothes I collect are about the same weight.

Then exchange clothes for food.

They are all registered citizens of Deng County, so there is no need to worry about anyone taking these small things and running away.

What's more, in the eyes of many people, such a piece of clothing is not as valuable as those 20 kilograms of grain.

Huang Zhong posted a notice the next morning, and in the afternoon, the fabrics and cotton were delivered from Wolong Village.

They were taken back by the people of Deng County after just half a day at the city gate.

Some received one, while some who were quick received two.

When fabrics are cut into clothes, a lot of scraps will be left over.

These scraps are great for mending.

Those who were quick finished the work in three to five days, and then went to the county government office in Deng County to exchange it for food.

In fact, some people were skeptical, because Old Man Huang had a good reputation as an official in Deng County.

Otherwise, not many people would believe that someone would give them so much food in exchange for sewing a piece of clothing.

"The weight is fine. Mr. Liu from the second lane in the north of the city handed over a cotton-padded jacket." An official weighed it and shouted loudly after confirming that there was no problem.

Then another person put ten kilograms of rice on the scale in front of Liu and showed it to her.

"Ten kilograms of millet, no problem, right?"

"No problem, no problem." Liu nodded repeatedly and took the bag from the clerk before she felt relieved.

"There are still ten kilograms of food. What do you want to choose? We have potato flour, sweet potato flour, and cornmeal. We can also choose sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes."

Liu looked at it and asked softly, "Which... which one should I eat a little?"

"They're all about the same." Deng County isn't big, and everyone probably knows each other.

The clerk thought for a moment and said, "You can ask for more cornmeal. Don't you have a child who's over six months old? The child likes cornmeal."

"Boil it in water and feed it directly to the child. It's sweet. My child can eat a big bowl at a time!"

"Okay, okay!" Liu nodded. "Then we'll have cornmeal!"

"Ten pounds of corn paste!" the clerk shouted, weighed a bag of corn paste for Liu to see, and then handed it to her.

"Um..." Liu hesitated for a moment and asked, "I'm doing it quickly. Is there anything else I can do?"

She didn't ask for two at that time, mainly because she didn't believe that they would really give her so much food. Now she regrets it.

The clerk spread his hands and said, "All the fabrics have been distributed. There's no more for the time being."

After saying this, he picked up the cotton-padded jacket that Liu had sent him and shook it: "It's really thick and soft. It must be comfortable to wear."

Several other clerks also said: "Yes, these clothes look good, I don't know if they will sell them."

Liu quickly said, "You can ask them, sir. If they are willing to sell it, they will definitely make it again. I can make it faster after it is cooked."

Several petty officials also wanted to buy such cotton-padded clothes. Compared with ordinary people, their lives were relatively comfortable.

"Okay, then I'll go ask General Huang." An old official said.

He had followed Huang Zhong in Deng County for many years and knew that Huang Zhong was a generous and easy-going person.
