Chapter 65 Everyone prepares for winter
"The whole city has been on alert recently, and I can't come here during the day, so I come to disturb the girl at night."
Li Heng was modest and polite, and his eyes softened as soon as he walked into the courtyard.
The tension for days and the temptation from my father seemed to dissipate in an instant, and only here could I get a moment of respite.
Shen You nodded in understanding, not to mention that right now, there would be a big deal coming, and it would be no problem for her to get up early in the morning to open a store.
Li Heng said that he was staying in the temple tonight, so he could avoid people and come to the shop.
He also mentioned the Grand Master of Qi who was leaving the palace. He didn't know whether he was the one from that time or a descendant. His father looked both fearful and trusting.
Having said this, Li Heng looked at Shen You and observed her expression.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the man looked like the man at the temple fair, and that Miss Shen might know him.
But Shen You didn't show much emotion, just pretending to be understanding the ancient situation.
She also noticed Li Heng's subtle temptation.
After chatting for a while, Li Heng finally talked about business,
"In a few days, it will be winter at the border. I want to ask the girl if there is anything useful here."
"This is not difficult, but you have to tell me first about the situation at your Daqi border and the conditions to keep out the cold, so that I can find things better."
Thinking that these contents were mixed with secrets, Shen You added, "There is no need to explain it too carefully."
Li Heng nodded and responded.
After listening to his description, Shen You probably understood that cotton cultivation had not been popularized in Daqi yet. Like the Song Dynasty, cotton fabrics were relatively expensive.
Ordinary wealthy people only have one or two pieces of clothing for the winter, and ordinary people's homes have none at all. They are all made of linen.
The climate in Daqi used to be warm, but in recent years it has become colder and colder. The conditions in the bitterly cold border areas are even worse. It is impossible for everyone to wear thick cotton clothes, and there are not even enough quilts.
Shen You took out the tablet and found a warm round-neck liner and pictures of velvet autumn pants and autumn clothes for the elderly to show Li Heng.
Li Heng stared at the miniature model photo on the luminous board and was stunned for several seconds.
I used to know that there were many magical things in this shop, such as the thin rectangular object on the counter with small keys that resembled a printing board.
He couldn't understand the symbols written on it, but he had seen Miss Shen use it to access information.
But now this thing looks very light, but it can fit people inside.
There was actually someone talking in the small box next to it, introducing the clothes.
What's even weirder is that the faces of the people inside are a bit blurry, as if they have been smoothed, their faces are also a bit pointed, and their eyes are extraordinarily big.
The etiquette he had learned since elementary school prevented him from speaking directly in front of Shen You.
But, he has never seen anyone with such an appearance, and Miss Shen looks normal
After a while, Li Heng said,
"Why are they on this board? And they look a little different from you and me. Are they of Western origin?"
Looking at Li Heng's face, there was a clear and stupid expression, Shen You was silent for a moment.
It is difficult to explain to ancient people, live streaming and beauty.
"They are not in the tablet themselves. This is a special method that transfers the picture of them talking to me, so I can see the product introduction even if I don't have to face each other."
After hearing this, Li Heng seemed to understand a little bit.
"What method can do such a thing? Is it magic?"
You must know that he had always scorned his father's practice of refining elixirs and searching for immortals. Faith was a handy tool for consolidating imperial power.
Until I saw all kinds of things that ordinary people couldn't do in this shop, I couldn't help but have some doubts. "No, no, no."
Shen You shook his head, worried that he would bring this person into the pit because of him. Apart from anything else, Li Heng actually deserves to be a wise king.
So he explained, "It's not magic, it's science. The things inside are more complicated. To put it simply.
This tablet is connected to the network. This channel for transmitting information is like your intelligence network, except that you use people and carrier pigeons to transmit it. What I use here is another thing. ”
She could only think of saying this, and she didn't know if Li Heng could understand.
"Can this thing be used in Daqi?" Li Heng asked eagerly.
He didn't understand what it was that could transmit the picture so quickly and completely.
But he knew that if Miss Shen was willing to give this thing to Da Qi, then emergency military information would be directly transmitted to him in the future.
There is no need to rush 800 miles away, and there is no chance of being intercepted in the middle.
What this means, he knows better than anyone else, that the border and the garrison outside the capital can be completely controlled by him.
Shen You sighed and shook his head again,
"You can't use it. Building the network I'm talking about is not something that can be done by one person. I can't do it, and neither can Daqi."
Even though he said that, Li Heng felt a little regretful when he heard that it was something that humans could do.
Fortunately, something that could subvert the country cannot be used in Daqi.
It was also at this time that Li Heng truly realized that what she said that day was that their world was different.
The position of Crown Princess, which aristocratic families were eager to pursue, meant nothing to her.
The topic returned to clothes, and Shen You continued to introduce, "These clothes are not expensive. Wearing them inside will not affect you from wearing ordinary clothes."
During the Chinese New Year, she also wears super thick warm clothes under Hanfu, and I personally tested it and it works!
In the harsh conditions at the border, the best equipment is definitely outdoor snow mountain climbing equipment, but those are too expensive and it is unrealistic to buy so much.
Warm clothes with down lining are much better than linen and grass.
"Okay, just this kind of clothes." Li Heng made a quick decision, "Miss Shen, please calculate the price."
Shen You switched from Ji Dao Dao to wholesale software.
The cheapest wholesale of down jackets is over 40 per set, while the down lining is more expensive, at least over 50 per set.
Better quality ones will probably cost more.
If the quantity is large, she can go directly to the factory to discuss it, and it shouldn't be too expensive.
A set of warm clothes and a down liner, based on a budget of 100 yuan, would only cost 2 million for 20,000 sets.
And you can cooperate with Liu Zheng and sell another batch yourself.
"There is also a sleeping bag, which is easy to carry and has good cold resistance." Shen You saw the pushed link, found the video and showed it to Li Heng.
"This is good!" Li Heng said happily.
Shen You started to talk about the price,
"Two thousand taels of gold. The rest I want the palace utensils and porcelain. It would be better if there is also golden nanmu."
"No problem." Li Heng agreed well without any hesitation.
For normal purchases of military supplies, this little money can only be counted through layers of deductions.
What's more, the things those people bought were far worse than what Miss Shen introduced on this tablet.
"The deposit is five hundred taels of gold." Shen You thought of something and continued, "But it will take time to prepare the things this time, and we may need to deliver them to you in batches."
