Chapter 349 Something seems wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong
no, he is not!
He is the auxiliary star of the Qing Dynasty bestowed by God.
It is also the lucky star of the Qing Dynasty.
He said that if something is good, it must be right.
Kangxi smiled, quietly waiting for his good Eighteen to bring him the shock of the day.
Yinzhen was not vague either. He took the finished product from Xiaoluzi and handed it to Kangxi: "Dangdangdang, my son has worked hard for several days and finally led others to make this down jacket."
"Khan Ama, don't underestimate it. It's just an ordinary piece of clothing. In fact, this ordinary appearance has great protection against cold."
Oh?
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and spread out the clothes with some disapproval.
It looks quite big, but it feels light and soft in the hand, as if it has no weight.
Seeing that the size seemed to suit his stature, and hearing Yinxuan say that it was specially prepared for him, he didn't hesitate and put it on.
Ok.
It feels very soft, much lighter than cotton-padded jackets or cloaks, but just as warm.
No, it's even worse than that.
But after a moment, Kangxi, who was sweating all over, smiled: "Good, good, good, it is worthy of our little eighteen to specially offer a treasure. This..."
"Down jacket." Yinxuan reminded at the right time.
Uh-huh.
Kangxi nodded: "This down jacket is really great, Baocheng, you should try it too."
The prince had been extremely curious for a long time, and he did not refuse when he heard it.
He took the clothes and put them on himself, asking as he put them on: "Down jacket? Is it made of down from chicken or duck?"
Yin Xuan raised his thumbs up: "Prince, the second brother is smart!"
"But they are not chicken feathers, but the fine down of ducks and geese close to their skin. My brother ordered people to pick them out, scrub them with caustic soda, and steam them to remove the grease and odor in the down. Then he found the finest fabric and ordered the skilled embroiderer to sew them carefully before making it."
The prince was stunned: "This, this requires the down of many ducks and geese to make a down jacket, right?"
Yin Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Khan Ama's down jacket is made entirely of the finest down, and he used a little more, down from ten geese. Otherwise, five to seven would be enough. Ducks are smaller, so naturally more down is needed for each down jacket."
"But no one usually uses this thing, so the price can be said to be quite cheap. The reason why it's expensive is because of the fabric. After all, duck and goose down is very fine. If the fabric is a little loose or one layer is used less, there is a risk of the down getting stuck. It would be unsightly if the ice and goose feathers were flying for thousands of miles."
Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh.
The current level of relevant technology is limited, and it is impossible to produce light, thin and waterproof fabrics.
It is impossible to lower the price in a short period of time, and it will not be able to enter the homes of ordinary people for a while.
But it can plunder the rich, save money for the national treasury, and provide more skillful women with a way to make money.
I can also send two sets to my brothers and sisters who are far away in the northwest: "So that they can be warm physically and mentally. They know that even though they are thousands of miles away, Khan Ama is still thinking about them."
Now that things have come to this, how could Kangxi still object?
Do it, do it all!
Not only should the princes and princesses feel the warmth of spring, but the meritorious officials should not be left behind.
Is fabric expensive?
With a wave of his hand, Kangxi not only transferred the money from his private treasury, but also ordered the Weaving Bureau to arrange relevant personnel for research.
Let’s see if we can create a down jacket lining fabric that is denser, stronger, scratch-resistant and hair-resistant.
Yin Xuan frowned and said, "It's a good idea, but it may not be easy to implement."
Kangxi smiled and said: "Nothing is difficult if one sets his mind to it. We have already figured out a steam engine, which is so difficult. How much easier it is to make cloth? If one year doesn't work, then ten years. If ten years doesn't work, then a hundred years."
"As long as there is direction and hard work, coupled with professional talent and a steady stream of financial support, success is only a matter of time."
Yinxuan:!!!
[It seems wrong, but I can’t tell what’s wrong. Wait, I… am I being taught a lesson by my conservative father, Kangxi?]
Kangxi:......
I just want to ask this brat, what on earth is wrong with me being conservative?
Since you, the little auxiliary star, came into the world, how many reforms have I made and how many ancestral systems have I abolished?
Fortunately, it is now the 49th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. If it were the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, not to mention the court officials who would be afraid, I wouldn't dare to do this!
Kangxi was depressed, but he couldn't say it.
I can’t tell.
He had to touch his son's little head and praise him earnestly: "Our little Eighteen is really smart. He can make such a light and warm down jacket with duck and goose down feathers that are usually discarded as garbage."
"Who said it wasn't?" The prince followed with a smile.
The father and son sang the same tune, wishing they could give all the compliments to Yinzhen.
Yinxuan's face turned red after hearing this, and he simply couldn't bear to stay in the Qianqing Palace any longer.
What is smart?
At most, he is just repeating what others have said.
Relying on his high status and abundant money, he had a group of skilled craftsmen under his command.
As for him, he was glad that he had worn it early.
Although Kangxi's father had been on guard against the second brother, the prince, and the Daqian Sui party and the prince's party were fighting fiercely, he was the fuse that not only survived, but also prevented everything from being irreversibly bad, and made Kangxi's father realize the importance of family affection.
As a result, he shook hands with his second brother, the Crown Prince, and all the grudges between father and son were eliminated.
big brother?
Maybe seeing that he had a good relationship with the Crown Prince, he had no chance at all, so he just gave up?
Well.
Yinxuan thought with some uncertainty.
No matter what happened, the relationship between Kangxi and Kowloon was no longer as tense as it was in history. Instead, they seemed to be working together and showing their strengths.
otherwise……
He thought that even if he suffocated to death, he would not show any "intelligence".
It seems that he can only wait until his father Kangxi dies before turning to his fourth brother for help.
I just don't know if Mr. Huang was wandering around the world at that time, and whether Mr. Dai would eventually succumb to the wind and snow outside the Great Wall and die with hatred.
Yinxuan sighed and could only say fortunately, fortunately.
But no one knew how long Kangxi and the prince looked at the down jacket as if it were a treasure after he left.
As they watched, the father and son muttered, "No wonder the shaman said that this little auxiliary star can benefit the entire Qing Dynasty. Look, this not only can explain the original historical line, but also can help us learn from past mistakes and correct them. It also has contributions in firearms, weapon manufacturing, agriculture, people's livelihood and other aspects."
"Who says it's not true?" The prince nodded in agreement, saying that with just his eighteenth brother, he could defeat a million soldiers.
He did not go to the front line, but without him, there would not have been a successful victory in the Qing-Zungarian War decades earlier.
Kangxi nodded and looked at his beloved prince seriously: "Since you know the importance and contribution of Xiao Shiba to our Qing Dynasty, you must take good care of him and tolerate him in the future, and don't blame him for his occasional usurpation of power in his heart."
