It is said that the locals follow the customs, and there is no good solution in the face of this kind of climate flood. Instead, he designed a cashmere jacket that could separate the two sides of the body at any time, connected by a zipper from the armpit to the hem, and a few buttons on the outside for reinforcement.

The effect is really good, when it is hot, the buttons and zippers are unfastened, and the clothes become two pieces before and after, and then pulled on when it is cold, and it doesn't take a minute before and after, and it becomes a good piece of clothing with good thermal insulation performance.

However, the cost of a zipper made entirely by hand is too high, and a skilled craftsman can't make a one-meter-long lock tooth in a day, so he can't let the craftsmen make all the zippers to play.

Eventually, the invention ran aground, and the zipper became a status symbol that could only be used by officers above the rank of commander.

However, this invention was not wasted, and it was used by leather craftsmen in the production of leather bags. In the past, the leather bags were either tied by a strap or buckled, and they were not matched with a yellow copper zipper.

At least in the eyes of the ancients, the zipper is still very magical, it is all closed with a stab, and it is opened again with a stab, which is convenient and beautiful.

The cost is high, in addition to building a part of the steel crossbow and siege crossbow for the forbidden army, Jinmingchi Wujin Xing is smelting pig iron, and the work is not too busy, so he simply uses the remaining time to get the zipper, and then makes it into a leather bag and sells it.

Zhu Bajin's two apprentices who stayed in Jinmingchi are also smart people, and they will definitely not be able to sell them at a high price if they set up a stall in the market at such a high cost, so they simply used the leather bag first on the flying eagle equipment of the Flying Eagle Society, and came to sell it as a match.

This immediately became popular, and a leather bag sold a set of flying eagle equipment was in short supply. Originally, the flying eagle was just a ride on the royal family, but since he had a leather bag, he changed to a leather bag.

In order to get a few more bags with zippers, some wealthy people do not hesitate to pay a high price to buy several sets of flying eagle equipment, and then throw the equipment aside and go out with a brand new leather bag.

Hong Tao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this scene, a group of officials and literati wearing long robes and Taoist robes, straddled a leather schoolbag of later generations, and there were LV decorations printed on it, how funny.

He didn't understand how the ancients were aesthetic, but how to make their money was very simple. So what are you waiting for, hurry up and take out the pictures of various bags in your mind and send someone back to Jinmingchi Wujin Xingbei. If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, there is no way, this money is not earned in vain.

When the craftsmen found the rapid production process of zippers, they had to have not only bags, but also leather jackets, leather shoes, and leather pants with zippers. If you think that the copper zipper is not of high grade, you can get some silver alloy, and the gold is too soft.

At the end of August, Xinliangzhou City ushered in another distinguished guest, Wang Hou, the chief of soldiers and horses on Qinfeng Road. He was ordered by the emperor to come to the aid of Liangzhou, although Li Xian robbed this errand, and it also proved that Liangzhou and the horse were safe, then he had to see it with his own eyes, otherwise he would not be able to go back and deal with the emperor.

"This ...... This ...... "When Wang Hou saw Liangzhou City, he was about to pull off his beard, and he didn't understand why Li Xian wanted to lie to himself, Liangzhou City was not only not wasted, but also very tall and majestic!"

"This is a new city built by the government, the outside of the city wall has just been completed, and there are still some places inside that are being built quickly, and it is estimated that it will be delayed until next month." Hong Tao was very satisfied with Wang Hou's performance, he had to be surprised, otherwise his efforts would be in vain.

New ...... I don't know where the people come from? Wang Hou was not very satisfied with the horse's answer, Meng Fool, he was the temporary commander of Qin Fenglu's soldiers and horses, and all the transfer of the carriage must be handled.

There is no servitude and it all depends on the people, just with the population of Huangzhou, everyone does not eat, does not farm, does not sleep, and cannot build such a big city in less than half a year.

"Hahaha, Brother Wang, why do you need the people to build a city? No, there were less than 5,000 new troops and 1,000 enlistments. Don't believe it, come on, come on, this official will take Brother Wang to the construction site to see everything and understand. This is also a great gift to His Majesty, due to the tension of the war, I cannot return to Beijing to congratulate Your Majesty in person, and it is also a good idea for Brother Wang to convey it. ”

Just by using words, you will definitely not be convinced by Wang Hou, let's talk about the facts and reason, and by the way, give Wang Hou a little sweetness. The lime thing Hong Tao does not intend to hide it, and iron and steel, this product will be monopolized by the state sooner or later, rather than fighting to show that he is very disregarding the overall situation, it is better to be generous and send it directly.

But who will send it is a knowledge, Li Xian must not give it, Wang Zhongzheng is not qualified, those are not familiar with the white-eyed wolf. Shen Kuo was too far away, and he couldn't add a suspicion of forming a party to him. However, Wang Shao and Wang Hou, the father and son, are relatively simple, and they don't feel sorry to give them the credit.

"With such a divine land in my dynasty, wouldn't it be a day to build a city!" Wang Hou still didn't believe it after seeing the construction site inside the city wall, so he asked his lieutenant to send someone to guard a city wall that had just been built with lime, and went to see it again in person every other day, and then believed it.

As a general with actual combat experience, Wang Hou is well aware of the impact of the speed and cost of building a city on the battle situation. If the lime made by the horses can be used at the border pass, not only can they fight against the Xia people, but the Liao people will also have bad luck.

"Brother Wang, don't be in a hurry, it's best to keep this thing secret first, and if the boss and His Majesty know about it. Without it, the official was afraid that some people in the court would think that if there was more lime, he would be able to sit back and relax, and easily agreed to the request of the Western Xia, so that the official would be tantamount to harming everyone, and he would be even more sorry for the soldiers who died in the battle. ”

In fact, Hong Tao could have handed over the formula and production method of lime to the emperor a long time ago, and sent someone back to guide the kiln to fire. But he had to drag it, because he didn't want to be counterproductive. In the end, you have to rely on offense to win, and pure defense is a money-losing business.

"I don't know if Brother Wang can send someone who is familiar with this thing to return to Kaifeng to restore his life, if I attach an explanation of this thing, I think it can solve Your Majesty's doubts better than my thousand words."

Wang Hou is really different from other officials, he does not put all his mind on how to take this credit alone, but thinks about how to give full play to the effect of lime and try to avoid detours.

"The official has already written, people...... Only three can be given. Soon the official will lead his troops to the expedition, and he will also transfer manpower to garrison the new city, which is indeed a bit stretched. ”

Wang Hou didn't say that Hong Tao had a report to the emperor, but after listening to Wang Hou's words, he decided to reveal more news to him, which can be regarded as a kind of gesture of goodwill. You can't offend everyone, and it's no good to make the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty enemies, and those who can cooperate must be wooed.

"Expedition...... But His Majesty didn't have this intention, Brother Wang didn't ......" This news surprised Wang Hou more than lime, at present, Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty are in peace talks, and at this time, not only can they not get the cooperation and cover of friendly troops, but they will also have to be reprimanded by the emperor if they don't do it.

"The ancients said, crossing the river to chase the poor, not to sell the name of the overlord. The Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought for decades, and to put it mildly, there was almost no time to take advantage of it. You said that we were finally happy once, don't toss and toss or lose? I have to ask Brother Wang for help in this matter, so I said that I have not seen this official in Liangzhou, and I have already led my troops to go on the expedition. ”

Literati and scholars all see the scenery and feel affection, and they can often make beautiful sentences for the ages when they see or encounter a certain beauty or thing. Hong Tao also came to such a time, and suddenly there was a ready-made sentence in his head. In the end, did the ancients say that he also forgot, anyway, it must be right to buckle the hat of the ancients first.

"Crossing the river and chasing the poor bravely, you can't sell your name and learn from the overlord...... But Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu? "Don't look at Wang Hou as a military general, but he is not illiterate and illiterate.

The military generals of the ancients were often proficient in poetry and books, and their attainments were not necessarily lower than those of the literati. It's just that they are not keen on scientific research, and in the words of later generations, they have no diploma, and no matter how much they have in their stomachs, they will not be recognized.

"Hehehe, it's the overlord of Chu. If he hadn't let Liu Bang's life go for the sake of face, how could Wujiang kill himself. Please Brother Wang tell Your Majesty not to worry about this official, and soon Ganzhou will also belong to my Great Song Dynasty. It is better to think more about how to arrange the management of officials and the border army to guard it, and it is not a good way to draw a separate road. ”

Seeing that Wang Hou was interested in discussing literary issues with him, Hong Tao immediately began to bring rhythm. Don't talk about poetry or anything, it will make you very faceless, and in the end, you have to rely on losing your heart and going crazy.
