Chapter 317
early morning.

Yang Reform woke up from his sleep, looked outside, it was already bright.

Look at the person in his arms, still sleeping soundly, this is Chengqian Palace, the residence of Concubine Tian Gui.

The person in his arms felt a strange movement, opened his eyes, and saw that the emperor had woken up, and hurriedly got up to wait on him.

"Don't get up, Yunmeng, it's still early in the day, you should sleep a little longer, I have something to do when I wake up early." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty has already woken up. Is there any reason why the concubine is still asleep? The concubine will serve His Majesty to get up." Tian Yunmeng refused, and hurriedly got up to help the emperor get dressed.

Yang Reform didn't refuse, and let Tian Yunmeng wash and dress the servant himself. Yang Reform's thoughts were on today's affairs.

In the early morning of summer, when it was coolest, Yang Reform strolled out of the Kunning Palace, and began to enjoy this rare leisure time under the trees.

Seeing the emperor watching under the tree, Wang Chengen hurried over to serve the emperor. This day's work has officially begun. He stayed with the emperor too late yesterday, so he woke up a little late today. Seeing the emperor waiting for him under the tree, Very sorry.

"My servant sleeps too much and wakes up a bit late, making His Majesty wait for a long time." Wang Chengen said as soon as he came over.

"Hehe, it's okay, buddy. I got up early today. Seeing the quiet and elegant outside, I woke up early to enjoy it. No wonder buddy. By the way, is Tian Hongyu here?" Yang Reform's leisure time ended , start the formal work.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the slave has already asked, Mr. Tian has arrived early this morning, and now, are you waiting for His Majesty to summon you?" Wang Chengen replied.

"Well, let's see you then. By the way, I will see you at Qianqing Palace. Besides, if Master Sun arrives, please ask Master Sun to go directly to Qianqing Palace." Yang Reform finished this little leisure time and started to get busy.

Qianqing Palace.

Yang Reform is here to summon Tian Hongyu, his father-in-law.

"My subject Tian Hongyu kowtows to my emperor, long live, long live." Even if Tian Hongyu is Concubine Tian's father, he doesn't just want to see the emperor. It is rare to see the emperor once, and he bows his head seriously.

"Get up." Yang Reform said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Tian Hongyu got up now. Although the emperor is his son-in-law, there is no lack of etiquette.

"My father-in-law, those southern craftsmen have already arrived in the capital, have you seen it? What do they say about the wool weaving?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have already met those craftsmen. They said that there is nothing wrong with wool spinning. The quality of the weaving depends entirely on the wool. As long as there is good wool, they can spin good woolen cloth. I specially I showed them the kind of wool His Majesty mentioned. They said that based on their experience, the fabric woven from this kind of wool must be the best in the world. It must be very good at keeping warm and breathable. The ticket, said there is no problem..." Since Tian Hongyu got the emperor's errand, he has been busy in a serious manner. The emperor is very generous, and he will give him 20 taels of silver for business at a time. However, also because of the emperor's generosity, Let him feel like sitting on pins and needles. With so much money, he can't do good things. If he loses points in the emperor's mind, the emperor may not treat him anymore. His daughter may not be able to hold his head up in the palace. Tian Hongyu has Liuli in front of him. Fasting, and later the queen's father Zhou Kui set an example, and under pressure, he had to cheer up and do his best to start the business.

Yang Reform nodded. The weaving craftsmen from the south finally arrived. If wool can be spun into cloth, that's good. He set his goal and took another step forward.

"That's very good, my father-in-law. Please pay more attention to the matter of wool. I will start spinning immediately and buy a lot of raw materials. The more wool the better." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty, I obey...but, Your Majesty, do you dare to ask where the textile factory is located? Your Majesty is welcome to decide." Tian Hongyu agreed, and asked about the location of the textile factory by the way.

Yang Reform nodded again, and said: "The textile factory should be located in the capital, although it is far away from the source of raw materials..." After deliberation, Yang Reform decided to set up the textile factory in Beijing. There is a glass industry, and there is also a military industry. If the textile industry is concentrated in Beijing, the number of industrial workers in Beijing will rise to a higher level. Perhaps, the power and future of industrial production can make more Ming Empire The high-level sees, seeing is believing, perhaps, the industrialization road will see the dawn of tomorrow.

"I obey." Tian Hongyu agreed.

"Here, I have one more thing to tell you." Yang Reform has made up his mind to kill Shanxi merchants and re-establish the business rules of the Ming Dynasty.It is necessary to win over some people, and the gun barrel is at the center of the win, and it is in Yang Reform's plan to give each of the capital and the border officers and soldiers a cotton coat to keep out the cold.

"Your Majesty, I'm sure I can do it." Tian Hongyu replied with certainty.

"Well, my father-in-law, do you still remember that I said that I gave each of the court officers and soldiers a cotton coat to keep out the cold?" Yang Reform asked.

Tian Hongyu was obviously stunned for a while. The emperor mentioned this to him before, saying that he wanted to make clothes and cotton clothes for the officers and soldiers all over the world. In my heart, I was asked by the emperor again today, and I realized that the emperor was not joking with him, and the emperor wanted to be serious.

"Return to Your Majesty, I remember." Tian Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded.

"Just remember, I have always had this thought in my mind. I want to buy a set of cotton coats for each of the officers and soldiers in my court as something to keep out the cold." Yang Reform said.

Tian Hongyu's heart was still shocked by the emperor's tone, the entire Ming Dynasty, there were more than 200 million officers and soldiers, and the emperor gave each of them a set of cotton coats. How much would it cost?I'm afraid the emperor's yearly internal money has to be posted in it!Tian Hongyu took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Your Majesty's kindness and compassion move the heavens and earth. The soldiers will be grateful to Your Majesty when they know about His Majesty's grace."

"Hehe, I won't say much about this, let's talk about the cotton coat." After Yang Reform finished speaking, a little eunuch reported outside.

"Your Majesty, Master Sun is here, just outside the hall." The little eunuch received Wang Chengen's order, and when Sun Chengzong came, he came directly to the Qianqing Palace.

"Okay, invite Master Sun to enter the palace." Yang Reform secretly sighed, he came so fast!I just woke up here!
Sun Chengzong got a letter from the emperor at night, asking him to go to the palace tomorrow, and he set off at dawn. When he arrived in the capital, the emperor had just woken up. When he arrived in the palace, he just caught up with the emperor and Tian Hongyu to discuss matters.

Sun Chengzong also gave a big gift, seeing the emperor's rules, there should be a lot of them.

"Hehe, Master Sun will be spared....Brother, move a chair for Master Sun. Master Sun came here early in the morning, it's hard work." Yang Reform was extraordinarily kind to this old man.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." There were few people in Qianqing Palace today, so Sun Chengzong did not refuse. He was indeed tired after traveling all the way. Today is no more crowded than other times. Officials hate it, there are few people..., I said it separately, after all, this body is old, not younger.

Tian Hongyu didn't like it. When someone else Sun Chengzong came, the emperor would greet him and return the chair. How about himself?The emperor is just so-so, the chair?Don't even think about it, look at Sun Chengzong's dry face and gray beard, and feel a little more balanced.

"Hehe, Master Sun came just in time. I was discussing with my father-in-law about getting a set of cotton coats for the officers and soldiers. Master Sun also listened to it together, and read the details." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"I obey." Sun Chengzong agreed briefly. He was a participant and an insider of many secrets of the emperor, and he belonged to the imperial party, the core of the core.

"Hehe, old man, where were we talking just now?" Yang Reform continued with the matter of the cotton coat.

"Back to Your Majesty, I just said that Your Majesty will give each of the officers and soldiers in the world a set of cotton coats." Tian Hongyu said.

"Hehe, there are more than 200 million officers and soldiers in my dynasty, and each of them has a set. I also feel a lot of pressure. Hehe, let's make a set for the soldiers in the capital and border gates for the time being this year. For the rest, we will talk about it next year. Hehe, too If there are too many, I won’t be able to do it for a while.” Yang Reform said with a smile.

After hearing what the emperor said, Sun Chengzong wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he understood something, so he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, I will make a set for the officers and soldiers in the capital and the border. I'm afraid there will be a lot. There will always be hundreds of thousands of sets..." Although Tian Hongyu didn't know the exact number, he could After roughly estimating the number, his forehead began to sweat. The emperor played really crazy. It seems that today he is looking for himself for this purpose. He will make hundreds of thousands of cotton coats within this year. Tian Hongyu thinks that Things are really fatal, this game is not fun anymore.

"Hehe, my father-in-law is right. I added 90 million troops to the border. There are also 80 million people. Haha, excluding the empty ring, it's [-] million, not many." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, does Your Majesty want you to manufacture these 80 million sets of cotton coats within this year?" Tian Hongyu felt that his burden was a bit heavy, and asked uneasily.

"That's right, old man, I've already thought about it. This year, I'll buy a set of cotton coats for the soldiers in the capital and the border. The quantity is between 80 and [-] sets. Hehe, I'm going to hand over this task to you. Money Come from me, old man, are you sure? Hehe, this is a military order." Yang Reform will kill people at the end of the year, so he naturally wants to complete the matter of drawing guns before the end of the year, even if it is for his own Father-in-law, you have to be ruthless.

Tian Hongyu was really sweating on his forehead. Although it was the hottest day in July, sweating was inevitable, but it was still morning, the sun was far from that hot, and it was still relatively cool.

Tian Hongyu held back his words a few times, and finally said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this..., this, I am afraid that I will miss your Majesty's business!" When Tian Hongyu thought of the astronomical 70 sets of cotton coats, Confidence is still broken, and the emperor wants to issue a military order. Isn't this killing people?
"Hehehe, old man, what are you afraid of? If you have money from me, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people or buy cotton? Old man, don't tell me, you don't even know how to spend money!" Yang Reformed My old father-in-law was a little evasive and a little unhappy.

When Tian Hongyu was told by the emperor, his confidence rose a little more, and he did it by himself, didn't he just want to make something up, and make his daughter look good in front of the emperor?Could it be that the emperor really killed himself for a few clothes?
Thinking about it this way, Tian Hongyu's confidence increased a lot, and he said, "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that I am willing to take on this important task, but I feel that these 70 sets of cotton coats are too much, right? Distribute some cloth and cotton, let the officers and soldiers do it themselves? I will make some more, so that the minister will not be afraid? My court has always distributed horses and cotton!" Tian Hongyu explained.

"No, this time the cotton-padded clothes are different from the previous ones. I have designed the style, and even the weight of the cotton-padded clothes. I have regulations. You must follow my design." Yang Reform is interested in being very popular in the future. The green army coat and the cotton-padded coat are really the best choice to keep out the cold. Even in the 21st century, they are also the first choice for night watch, duty, cold protection, etc. It can be called a classic cotton-padded coat. Besides, Yang Reform is this For the project of sending warmth, it is natural to make the clothes the same, so that others can know at a glance that this is the warmth given to us by the emperor. If we send cloth and cotton and let the officers and soldiers do it themselves, then we don’t care if we don’t do the project of sending warmth. , To win people's hearts, there must be something dry, right?

Not only Tian Hongyu was stunned, but Sun Chengzong was also stunned. Unexpectedly, the emperor had such skills. The Zhu family had many geniuses. The previous generation of emperors was a master carpenter. This time, the emperor can make clothes by himself.

"Big companion, show Master Sun and the old man the cotton coat I designed." Yang Reform said with a smile, Yang Reform likes this cotton coat very much, and is planning to equip it for the army of the Ming Empire.

Wang Chengen agreed, and then sent the drawings given by the emperor to Sun Chengzong and Tian Hongyu.

Sun Chengzong looked at it and nodded.When Tian Hongyu saw it, he could only be horrified and frustrated!Making this kind of military coat will kill him!How much work does it take?
Sun Chengzong was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this cotton coat looks thick, and it must have used a lot of cotton. There is also a shawl, which will definitely keep you warm. The narrow sleeves and the hem are separated. Sometimes, it will not become an obstacle, it is a good dress." Sun Chengzong has been immersed in the military for some years, and he can see the advantages of this cotton coat at a glance.

Tian Hongyu held the paper and was very frustrated. This kind of coat was solid in terms of workmanship and materials. Thinking about it again, he had to make more than 70 pieces. Tian Hongyu's hand holding the paper was shaking violently , My heart is beating back.

"Hehe, Master Sun has good eyesight. This cotton coat is designed for the soldiers in battle, not to mention keeping warm. This kind of cotton coat, depending on the height, uses at least four catties of cotton, plus other materials. , this cotton padded jacket weighs at least four to five catties, and even weighs six to seven catties for a tall man. The hem is open, so it won’t get stuck on a horse. The narrow sleeves are good for soldiers to fight. The shawl collar can keep you warm, and this hat, hehe, it is also together with the cotton padded jacket, which is a set..." Yang Reform is very proud, this design is exactly the design of the green army coat that will be copied in the future, that green The military coat itself was designed for combat, and it must have been successful if it has been popular for decades. Yang Reform felt that it must be right to use it as a reference. [One catty in the Ming Dynasty was about 600 grams, and four catties was 2400 grams, which was almost five catties in modern times. 】

Sun Chengzong was used to the emperor's whimsical thinking mode. Although he was surprised, he applauded this kind of clothes even more.Tian Hongyu gasped, how much cotton did this cost!My god, the emperor, are you not sick?Five or six catties of cotton, plus fabric, plus labor, plus shawl collar, hat, how much does it cost?
"Your Majesty, once this garment is made, it will surely become a sharp weapon against the cold! The soldiers in the north will no longer be afraid of the severe cold. Your Majesty, this is a good thing and should be disposed of." Sun Chengzong understood what the emperor was thinking, and kept going compliments the emperor's clothes.Tian Hongyu didn't know why, and there was a depressed face in amazement.

"That's natural. I put a lot of thought into this dress. Hehe, I specially asked someone to make a few pieces. Hehe, I can show it to Master Sun and my father-in-law." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"I would like to see the details." Sun Chengzong has been in the army for many years, so he naturally knows the suffering of the soldiers and how cold the winter in the north is. If the emperor is really willing to prepare such a thick cotton coat for each of the soldiers at the border, Sun Chengzong was happy from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, the little eunuchs brought in the clothes, which were thick cotton clothes, exactly the same as the emperor's painting, except that the emperor's painting was green, but the actual one was earth-colored.

"Master Sun, my father-in-law, please take a look..." Yang Reform said.

Sun Chengzong picked up a military coat, looked at it carefully, felt how thick it was, then looked at the workmanship, and rubbed the cotton inside. Sun Chengzong knew that it was a pretty good thing. It seems that the emperor did not miss it. Put your mind to it!This cost, I am afraid it is not cheap!Sun Chengzong was worried again.

Tian Hongyu could only cry with a sad face, holding the emperor's cotton coat, and observing in frustration. The better he did this, the more difficult it would be for him to complete the task. Can't say this, is the emperor's money so easy to get?

Yang Reform was in the midst of his ups and downs. Seeing his father-in-law's mournful face, he felt unhappy and said, "My father-in-law, what's wrong with you? Is my cotton coat not good?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, no, His Majesty's coat is very good, the material is sufficient, and the workmanship is also fine. It must be very warm. The soldiers at the border pass wear it, and they must be grateful and grateful. They bravely killed the enemy and served His Majesty..." Tian Hongyu said Only then put away that frustrated face, and explained with a charming smile.

Dress warmly?Yang Reform had the idea of ​​playing pranks, and felt that he should punish his father-in-law. He was only willing to pick peaches and refused to shoulder the burden. , The imperial party does not accept waste.

"Hehe, old man, you are right. This kind of cotton coat is the best way to keep warm. Come on, old man, try it on and see if it keeps you warm." My father-in-law wears cotton padded clothes in the hot weather in July, and it is also a thick military coat...

"Ah!..." Tian Hongyu went into a daze!Holding the cotton coat blankly, I don't know what to say, I wanted to refuse or hide, but when I saw the emperor looked at me with a half-smile, as if you must wear it, I remembered that I shouldn't have done that just now. The mourning portrait, probably because the emperor didn't like his ugly appearance, and felt guilty in his heart, so he didn't dare to play sloppy eyes with the emperor.

Under the watchful eyes of the emperor, he reluctantly put on that cotton coat...

"Buttons, button them up..." Yang Reform directed with a half-smile.

Tian Hongyu had no choice but to button up the buttons too.

"By the way, there are hats, hats..." Yang Reform was already overjoyed. In the hot weather, it is really rare to direct a person to wear cotton clothes.

Tian Hongyu laughed while crying, and had to put the hat on his own head.The sweat beads all over his face kept rolling down, this time it must not be sweating from shock, but real beads of sweat, completely due to the need to dissipate heat.

"Take two steps, take two steps and see..." Yang Reform did not intend to let this timid "imperialist" go, and continued to play pranks.

Tian Hongyu shook beads of sweat the size of beans, and walked around the Qianqing Palace. Even Sun Chengzong laughed when he saw it. In this hot day, the emperor loves to toss people too much. He is the emperor's father-in-law. I don't know What did Tian Hongyu do to his heart, the emperor wanted to punish him like this.
