Wei Yan slapped his palms with a horse whip, looked at Yang Yi with a gloomy face in his eyes, and said slowly: "So, it is not a mistake to not give my martial arts soldiers winter clothes, but a deliberate way?"

"Have this chief made such a mistake?" Yang Yi said tit-for-tat: "I am following the law, not targeting the generals. The same is true for the chariots and cavalry generals who are with you. You won't know, right?"

"I know that Changshi is good at calculating and never makes mistakes." Wei Yan said with a slight smile: "Since that's the case, then I want to ask Changshi Yang. Who manages my manor in Chang'an?"

Yang Yi was stunned. After Wei Yan was transferred from the general of Zhenbei to the general of Zhenxi, his manor in Chang'an should also be transferred from Chang'an to the garrison. However, Wei Yan's time to Liangzhou was very short, and Chang'an's manor had not had time to transfer.

No one managed it for a while. Yang Yi took a fancy to the environment of the manor and placed her residence in the manor. In fact, she wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and occupy the manor as existing.

After Wei Yan left, all the troops followed. In fact, there were only a few old and weak in the manor. There was no problem with Yang Yi entering, but there was a lack of a formality. But unexpectedly, Wei Yan bit back and determined that Yang Yi was "management".

"His manor wants to ask Yang Yi for winter clothes.

This is the blackmailing of the Wei family. Can Yang Yi condemn himself to manage the manor for the Wei family? He is not a slave of the Wei family.

"The general misunderstood. I just lived there temporarily and was not responsible for managing the manor for the general."

"You don't manage it, but you live there." Wei Yan nodded, his eyes becoming fierce: "Then my manor is stolen, are you suspicious?"

"Nonsense! What's the thing in your manor will be lost?" Yang Yi could no longer help it. Wei Yan actually framed him as a thief and stole the property of the Wei family manor. This was simply a big deal. The Wei family was so funny.

What's in the manor? Wei Yan himself is not a good person at all. There is nothing else in his manor except for some necessary houses. Could my dignified Yang Changshi steal your broken house?

"There's nothing." Wei Yan said leisurely: "That is, the rewards from His Majesty over the past few years, as well as the reserves for three thousand military soldiers, military uniforms, armor, and battle robes. Yang Changshi, you

You have to give me these back. You can't let my Wushu go out in a single dress, right?"

"Wei Yan, are you so bold, dare to swear?" Yang Yi was so angry and shouted with a halberd finger. Wei Yan's eyes turned cold, he reached out and slapped Yang Yi's hand aside, and said in a cold voice: "If you refuse to give it to me today, today, you will not give it to me.

Winter clothes, I will go to the Prime Minister with you to argue with you."

Wei Yan was very strong, and he almost interrupted Yang Yi's wrist with a random shot. Yang Yi felt that his entire arm had lost consciousness, and being criticized by Wei Yan in front of so many people made his face even more irrelevant.

He couldn't help but roared, "Go and go, will the Prime Minister believe your nonsense?"

"Then let's go." Wei Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Yi's collar and dragged it away. He was tall and his steps were like the wind. Yang Yi could not keep up. He was dragged down after taking two steps.

He was in a mess on the ground. He tried desperately to push him away, but his strength was too small to move Wei Yan at all, so he was dragged out by Wei Yan.

Yang Yi lost all face, and a wave of grievances surged up, and she couldn't help crying. When they arrived in front of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Yang Yi was already in tears and extremely miserable.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and sighed involuntarily. Why did these two enemies collide again?

After asking the whole story, Zhuge Liang waved his hand. "Mr. Wei, although you have done a good job, Wen Chang's situation is special. He has been busy for state affairs in the past two years and the manor is in short supply. Where can winter clothes be available, you will allocate 3,000 people.

Give him the equipment, the weapons and food should be all equipped."

Yang Yi cried and said, "Prime Minister, which one is not tight now? He sets this precedent, what should the other generals do? If they all come to play rudely, wouldn't they have to spend more equipment on tens of thousands of people? Prime Minister,

Even if you kill me, I can't change it."

Zhuge Liang was in a dilemma with his hands. He knew what Yang Yi said made sense. This time, all the supplies were very tight. Guanzhong had been desolate for a long time. It was only in recent years that the military farms had accumulated a little savings and had to supply 80,000.

The army and 40,000 to 50,000 people were really stretched. Li Yan held Yizhou and did not dare to provide help. Wei Ba promised supplies were still on the way. At this moment, Yang Yi could only make careful calculations and save as much as possible.

"Wen Chang is about to come out, you pay him first to avoid delaying major issues." Zhuge Liang said without saying anything: "Let's find a way for others."

Yang Yi wiped her tears and felt very wronged. The Prime Minister obviously favored Wei Yan, which was very unfair to him. He could not confront Zhuge Liang in person, so it would make it difficult for the Prime Minister to do it. But what if he doesn't object? Where did he go

Go and smoke three thousand winter clothes for Wei Yan.

At this moment, a martial baron walked in and whispered a few words in Wei Yan's ear. When Wei Yan heard this, he immediately smiled. He looked at Yang Yi with disdain and waved generously: "Forget it, I'll do it."

Don't bother with villains like you. My son just sent someone to send him 10,000 sets of winter clothes. You can keep the three thousand sets of winter clothes for yourself."

After saying that, Wei Yan smiled and bowed to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, the matter has been resolved, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to set off tomorrow, I'm afraid I don't have time to say goodbye again, so I'll leave here. Wait for my good news.

.”

Looking at Wei Yan's back, Zhuge Liang was speechless. Is this matter solved? Ten thousand sets of winter clothes, Wei Ba was so generous to him.

Wei Yan left the door and met Fa Miao. Fa Miao respectfully gave a respectful salute, led Wei Yan to the Wei River Wharf, pointed to the ships coming from afar and said, "General, this is for General Zhennan.

The supplies you prepared include 10,000 sets of cotton coats, 5,000 crossbows, and 2 million arrow branches of various types..."

Wei Yan interrupted Fa Miao: "Cotton coat? Not fleece clothes?"

Fa Miao smiled, untied his coat, revealing the cotton jacket inside. "This is made of cotton introduced from Tianzhu. It is warmer and lighter than the fleece. It was specially prepared by General Zhennan for the general. This kind of clothes are not available in Jiaozhou.

.”

Wei Yan was very curious and reached out to touch it, as if he understood something: "Is this a white stack of cloth?"

"It's almost the same." Fa Miao nodded.

Wei Yan's eyes suddenly glared.

In fact, there were a small amount of cotton planted in the Han Dynasty, most of which were concentrated in the Western Regions, and the number was very small. The woven cotton cloth was different from the linen and silk commonly used by the Han people. It was also called white stacked cloth, which was a relatively expensive fabric, and only the powerful families occasionally.

How many pieces can I get? Now I heard that Wei Ba uses white folded cloth to make winter clothes, and he has tens of thousands of sets of them at one time. Wei Yan really doubts whether there is something wrong with his ears.

Fa Miao didn't explain much to him, so he pulled him onto the boat, asked someone to untied a package, took out a set of cotton winter clothes and placed it in front of Wei Yan. The brand new cotton coat felt smooth and soft to the touch, which was as soft as the clouds, compared to ordinary ones.

It is much better to fill in winter clothes and much lighter. Wei Yan couldn't believe that such a light winter clothes could keep warm, but looking at Fa Miao, he did only wear such a thick winter clothes, and there was no chill at all.

"A set of winter clothes is divided into five pieces, outerwear, inner jacket, outer pants, cotton shoes and hood." Fa Miao explained: "Although it is a bit bloated, it is not heavy, and the warmth is excellent. This set of winter clothes

If you wear it on your body and then wear leather armor, you will not be frostbite even if you go outside the border."

Fa Miao shook a light leather jacket again: "This is a fish leather jacket specialty of Jiaozhou. It is made of the skin of big fish in the sea. It may be waterproof. When camping in the wild, put this fish leather jacket on your body to prevent moisture.

.When it snows, put on your body to prevent the snow from soaking the cotton coat. Everything is good, but it is easy to absorb moisture. Once it gets wet, it will be very cold. It will be much more convenient to have this."

Seeing Fa Miao explaining the beauty of the new winter clothes, Wei Yan was overjoyed. He thought for a while and said to Fa Miao: "Please give me two sets of cotton clothes that suit me the size of my body."

Fa Miao pointed: "The general is there, the five sets prepared with special family emblems."

Without saying a word, Wei Yan walked forward, untied the package, took out two sets of them, and turned around and left. Fa Miao did not understand the intention, so he hurriedly followed. Wei Yan jumped onto the horse and came all the way to Zhuge Liang's temporary prime minister's mansion, jumped off the horse.

Go straight to the lobby.

Looking at Wei Yan who was returning, Zhuge Liang browed lightly, not knowing what happened again.

Wei Yan placed two sets of winter clothes on the table and bowed: "Prime Minister, this is the winter clothes sent by a child. The Prime Minister is in poor health and is afraid of the cold. I hope these two sets of winter clothes can share the Prime Minister's worries."

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized and smiled with interest: "Is this made of cotton introduced by Jiaozhou from Tianzhu?"

Wei Yan was ashamed and asked in surprise: "The Prime Minister knows it too?"

"Well, Ziyu told me. He said that some crops were introduced outside Conghua, and the most useful ones were the rice seeds, which were cotton." Zhuge Liang picked up the winter clothes and looked carefully, nodding repeatedly: "I didn't expect that in just two or three years, he

It was successfully transplanted and mass-produced. Boyuan, what is the output? How much is this set of winter clothes?”

Fa Miao gave a deep gift: "I dare to report to the Prime Minister, the counties under the rule of General Zhennan have planted nearly 100,000 hectares of cotton, with a yield of about 300 kilograms per mu. The price of a set of winter clothes is around 1,000 yuan."

"Thousands of dollars?" Zhuge Liang sat upright in surprise: "So cheap?"

Fa Miao smiled. This price is indeed cheap. Even if you don’t compare it with the white folded cloth that is close to Shu brocade, the price of ordinary winter clothes filling is higher than this price. Moreover, the warmth of winter clothes filling is far inferior to that of

This kind of cotton coat. Such a cotton coat is sold in Guanzhong. Even if it costs 5,000 yuan, someone will buy it. Of course, ordinary people will definitely not be able to afford it. It can only be bought by wealthy families.

One thousand yuan is affordable for ordinary people. If a strong laborer is hired, the monthly wage is about two thousand yuan, which is enough to buy two sets of cotton coats.
