The old scholar shook his head and said, "I'm not going. It's a sad place. Going there will only add to the sadness."
"Fengzi, I want to talk to you about something serious."
When Jing Shu and Yuyao heard this, they hurriedly got up and left quietly.
Zhang Feng asked, "You finished talking so quickly?"
The old scholar sighed and said, "It's all in the past. What's there to talk about? When I have time, I'll go back and have a look. "
Seeing that the old scholar didn't want to talk about it, Zhang Feng quickly shut up.
After all, this was his family's business. If he didn't want to talk about it, who could do anything about it?
"Old Scholar, what did you say just now? Don't talk about the military equipment. One hundred thousand pieces a month. Even a god can't do that! "
The old scholar smiled bitterly and said, "It's true. When I was on the mountain, Old Wei and the others came to me. Tie Niu and the others also went to the village chief. Do you think that if Lao Li and the others could think of a way, they would do that?"
"And I'm worried that this is the emperor's idea. Whether we do it or not, it's your business. I have no right to interfere, but you should know that if you don't do anything about it, everything we've done will go down the drain. What's more, once the news of the lack of winter supplies gets out, it will shake the morale of the army. And if the enemy finds out, then … you know the consequences."
Zhang Feng naturally knew the consequences if he didn't handle it well. But one hundred thousand pieces a month? Zhang Feng wanted to go crazy just thinking about it.
There was nothing. He didn't even know where Mian Mian was. What could he do?
With what?
With his mouth?
Therefore, Zhang Feng decisively slipped away. But he didn't expect these people to be so persistent. They directly went to find the old scholar. This was going to be troublesome.
Zhang Feng coughed and said, "Old Scholar, although I know about this, what should I do? What should I do? "
"Although I know how to make this textile machine produce 500 bolts of cloth in a day, this thing is not the same as weaving. If you were to do something else, I would be able to pay you 100,000 yuan a month. But at this time, I can't do anything about this!"
"I can't possibly make some paper clothes to fool others, right?"
Speaking of which.
The old scholar didn't say anything. He just undid his belt and waved his hand. "Come and see what I'm passing on."
Zhang Feng had been wondering if the old Elementary Scholar had gone senile, but now he understood. He hurriedly went forward to take a look. He saw the old Elementary Scholar pull at the inner shirt and then pull at the seam, revealing something underneath.
Zhang Feng took a look. Good lord, this guy is really wearing paper clothes!
This kind of paper was a bit like Xuan paper, but the material was different. It was very soft, as if it was made from the bark of a tree and then pasted together with the technique of papermaking. It also had a kind of elasticity to the touch, but the traces of sweat and grease had to be removed.
Zhang Feng was a little surprised and asked, "Old Scholar, your clothes are really made of paper. Can this thing be worn?"
The old scholar rolled his eyes. "Then what do you think people of this era wear? What do you wear in winter? "
Zhang Feng immediately shut his mouth. This question really made him speechless.
When he first crossed over, he really didn't pay attention to what he was wearing. But at that time, it was early spring and he didn't feel that cold. Although the clothes he was wearing were a little thin, he was wearing at least four or five pieces of clothing, so he didn't feel that cold. He didn't know what people of this era wore. At this time, when he saw what the old scholar was wearing, Zhang Feng suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that … they really wear clothes?"
The old scholar was a little speechless. He seriously doubted how Zhang Feng had survived the winter before. He could only blame it on Zhang Feng being young, so he didn't wear these things in winter. He just patiently explained to Zhang Feng, "Ordinary people basically have to endure the winter, or use linen or the bark of this kind of tree to make clothes. This kind of clothes is also jokingly called paper clothes!"
Only those high-ranking officials or businessmen can afford to wear clothes made of palm bark. These are all in Chang 'an, and the officials are here. If you go to the north, you need sheepskin or cowhide to keep out the cold. But even so, every winter in the north, there are frequent reports of people freezing to death. But this year's situation is more special. You also know that after the locust plague, basically no grass grows. Those mulberry trees and hemp trees are almost extinct. So this year's winter is really a bit difficult. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to you so painstakingly for help. "
The old scholar took a deep breath and stared deeply at Zhang Feng. "Actually, I also want to know if you can solve this matter. Although I used to be very tired of you doing these military things, but this time, I think it is very necessary for you to solve this matter. After all, when the nest is overturned, there are no eggs intact. This is also something you said before, so I still think you should seriously consider this matter."
Zhang Feng was silent.
If it was someone else who said this, he would definitely refuse without thinking.
But it was the old scholar who said this, so he had to carefully consider it. After thinking for a while, Zhang Feng took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "If it was someone else, I would definitely ignore them. But since it is you who came to plead, it means that this matter is really serious to the point where I have to deal with it. Okay, then I will give it a try!"
