Chapter six hundred and eighty sixth cotton-padded storm for the moon
The temperature in the Gyeonggi area has dropped a lot recently, and Zhu Youlang has begun to pay attention to the clothes of the soldiers.
Cotton coats for winter must be made in advance.
Although there is no need to rush to the northern expedition in the cold winter, at least it requires training.
Zhu Youlang didn't want the soldiers to shrank and rush to keep warm in the cold below zero.
Zhu Youlang is going to hand over this matter to Wang Henian.
First of all, Wang Henian was originally a businessman and knew very well about cloth, cotton and other things, so he would not be fooled by others.
Secondly, the identity of the commander of the Jinyiwei is a natural protective talisman, and no one dares to fool him.
Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming army, and there are no less than 100,000 troops alone to guard the capital.
With so many people rushing to make cotton coats, the consumption of fabric and cotton is definitely amazing and must be arranged in advance, otherwise it is easy to have shortages.
After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Henian immediately arranged people to go to the capital market to conduct investigations.
After some inquiry, Wang Henian came to a conclusion that there is plenty of cotton at present, but there may be a shortage of cloth.
He immediately returned the situation to the emperor and asked the emperor for the holy ruling.
When Zhu Youlang heard the news, he was not worried but was ecstatic.
What he fears is that he is not afraid of the shortage of cloth. Just kidding, was Jenny's textile machine invented in vain?
With the Jenny machine, the efficiency of weaving is improved linearly. Not to mention the cloth that 100,000 soldiers need to make cotton coats, they can double it and drive it out in just a month.
Of course, Jenny has only been promoted in the Gangnam region at present, but the Gyeonggi region has not been officially promoted shortly after it has just been recovered.
But this matter is a question of whether to think about it or not. As long as Zhu Youlang wants to promote it at any time.
This is just a matter of one sentence.
Zhu Youlang is not a blind optimistic person.
But now he has taken a reassurance, and there is no reason not to be confident.
As long as there is plenty of cotton, all the problems are easy to talk about.
Zhu Youlang issued an order immediately and ordered the Ministry of Works to promote Jenny Machine.
There are many craftsmen in the capital, and they are all experienced old craftsmen. It is easy to get started as long as they teach them well.
In half a month, Zhu Youlang gave the Ministry of Works for half a month. He hoped that in half a month, he could see the Jenny machine fully rolling out in the capital.

Buying cotton is not an easy task. Although there are a lot of cotton on the market, it is basically scattered on various shops.
There is no unity between these shops, and they are basically sold separately.
If Wang Henian wants to buy it, he must ask each shop after another, and he cannot feel any impatient.
Moreover, he cannot use the identity of the Jinyiwei to exert pressure. This will not only not help the Jinyiwei's reputation, but also likely to affect the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor.
If this is true, he will be doomed.
When you cherish your feathers more than anything, this is the bottom line and scale that Your Majesty must never touch. No one can touch it. Touching it is the word death.
Wang Henian is very clear about this.
So he was very polite. Even if the other party offered a high price unreasonably, he would calmly bargain with the store.
When doing business, you should be kind and make money.
Wang Henian realized this as early as when he was in charge of his own business during Chongqing.
There are many sources of cotton, so the quality of the cotton naturally cannot guarantee a standard.
Wang Henian only buys first, and a round of selection will be conducted in the later stage.
Any defective products that do not meet the standards must be basically eliminated.
These defective products can be rushed into the inner warehouse for secondary use according to His Majesty's words.
Of course, Wang Henian also needs to pay attention to the progress of weaving. After all, if the fabric cannot be prepared within one month, it will be futile even if the cotton has been taken care of.
Wang Henian doesn't want to end up in vain.
Fortunately, he is familiar with the Ministry of Works, so he just needs to say hello, and it is basically decided.
Time flies, and it is January in a blink of an eye.
It was logical that it was time for the Ministry of Works to hand over the delivery, so Wang Henian naturally went to the Ministry of Works to ask for goods.
But I don’t know if I don’t go, but I’m really shocked when I go.
It turned out that Wang Henian went to the Ministry of Works and found that only more than half of the fabric was made, and a small half had not been weaved.
This is really a bolt from the blue.
For Wang Henian, cloth is the most important thing, which is equivalent to people waiting for the cooking to find that there is no rice in the pot. How can I not be in a hurry?
Wang Henian was also drunk. People from the Ministry of Works watched people looking at each of them on weekdays, which was so stable.
At that time, they also patted their chests and promised that there would be no problems and that the goods would be delivered on time.
But why did it still scratch in the end?
Wang Henian immediately questioned the host officials of the Ministry of Works. The conclusion was that they had no choice but to do anything because a wealthy businessman took all the cloth on the market.
Wang Henian was stunned when he heard this.
Rich businessmen collect fabrics?
Or is it the cloth that is not silk?
What's going on?
You should know that the Ministry of Works collects cloth on the surface, which represents the court. Who dares to fight against the court at this critical moment after being brave enough to be brave.
After some questioning and inquiring, Wang Henian realized that it was the Lu family.
It is said that the Lu family is very famous. It was a family in the capital hundreds of years ago, and it is fearless.
Who is Wang Henian? He is the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Is this the Lu family more serious than the Jinyiwei?
This matter must not be forgotten like this, otherwise it would be a small loss of face for the Jinyiwei, and a great loss of face for the Emperor.
The Lu family is really a thief on Tai Sui's head, and the old birthday boy is so tired of hanging himself.
Wang Henian immediately left the Ministry of Works and went to the Jinyiwei Yamen, mobilized the Northern Town Fushi Office, and the subordinates of the Southern Town Fushi Office surrounded the Lu family.
Now it was the people of the Lu family who were turned to be stunned.
They have never seen such a situation before. You should know that the person surrounding the Lu family was not ordinary yamen runners, nor from Shuntian Mansions, nor from the Five City Military and Ma Si, but from the Jinyiwei.
Who is the Jinyiwei? They are the minions of the emperor and the emperor’s personal army.
There are a few people who offended the Jinyiwei who have a good ending, but they all end up ruining their families.
How did they provoke this god?
The people from the Lu family were trembling and didn't even dare to open the gate, but the Jinyiwei started to shout.
If the people of the Lu family don't open the door within one incense stick of time, they will hit the door directly.
At that time, the nature of the things that the Lu family committed changed again, and all the servants might be implicated.
I have to say that this statement is still powerful and deterrent.
The head of the Lu family, Lu Jiandou, made a statement immediately and opened the door.
But when a creaking sound was heard, the door of the Lu family opened.
Lu Jiandou and his clan members stood at the gate.
