At this time, in this northern part of the country, those nomads and border people have learned to use felt to protect themselves from the wind and rain. Most of the shoes are sewn from sheepskin or other animal skins. As for cowhide, it is simply outrageously useful, both for drumming and for making nails, so it is very sought-after.

In fact, leather is also useful, but felt is different, wool at this time, almost no use except for felt. And this is Saibei, so the price of felt is outrageous.

Therefore, Xu Jinzhong bought hundreds of thousands of catties of broken things for five cents a pound, and no one could have imagined that they could be made into such extremely cold and warm boots.

In addition, everyone also got a pair of gloves that were not divided into four fingers, and this thing was instructed by Duan Shaojun, and the original way of completely sealing was changed to one that could be untied from the palm of the hand, revealing four fingers, so as to ensure that sometimes there was a need to do delicate work, and then pull it back after doing it, without the trouble of taking off the entire glove.

This naturally made the soldiers very happy, regardless of the new and old-fashioned, it is good to have more clothes to wear. The previous anger towards Duan Shaojun suddenly turned into a good feeling.

When the new military uniforms and other equipment were distributed to every soldier, every soldier felt fresh and curious, and went back to the camp on the spot to change into a brand new military uniform, boots, gloves, etc., and moved his hands and feet in the camp of the Changshi Western Army, feeling the benefits and convenience of this new clothes.

Li Youwen, as the general of Zuo Yu Lin Wei, naturally has the right and obligation to know everything that happened under his command, and the news that Duan Shaojun had changed the clothes of the Changshi Western Army privately reached the ears of Li Youwen, who had just returned to the camp from hunting.

Duan Shaojun was quickly picked up and slipped to Li Youwen's side, and in addition, along with Duan Shaojun, he was brought into Li Youwen's camp with the new equipment that Duan Shaojun had distributed to the soldiers.

Li Youwen looked at the clothes on the table, and she really couldn't figure it out. Raising his eyelids and glancing at Duan Shaojun, this guy was also wearing a costume that was exactly the same as the clothes on the desk.

It's a very simple and neat outfit. The cuffs and trouser legs are straight, which is very similar to the feeling of Hu Yi, but compared to Hu Yi, I am afraid that I can save a lot more fabric. In addition, he wears a pair of knee-length boots on his feet, which looks quite thick, but judging by its behavior, it seems that this thing is not heavy, but rather light.

In addition, there are these gloves and belts, which dazzled Li Youwen's eyes, and even picked up a pair of boxer shorts and studied them seriously for a long time, seeing Duan Shaojun holding back his laughter and almost having stomach cramps, but he really couldn't laugh, who knows if this girl would pull out a knife in anger and give herself three knives and six holes.

"Where did all this stuff come from?" Li Youwen picked up a pair of brand-new felt boots and weighed them in her hand, then motioned for a recruit to put them on and feel them, then turned her head and asked Duan Shaojun.

"General Yu, these are all purchased by the lower officials." Duan Shaojun said to Li Youwen with a serious face, as if he had really spent a lot of money.

"The army distributes winter supplies every year, why do you have to distribute winter clothes to the soldiers privately...... Hey, it's pretty warm. Li Youwen, who tried on gloves, was very curious. With this thing, I'm afraid that in winter, the soldiers will ride their horses and gallop on the prairie in the north of the Saibei, so I don't have to worry about frostbite on my hands, right?

"General, this thing is called gloves, made of cloth wrapped in cotton, this thing is the most suitable for winter use, not only can play a role in keeping warm but also can be non-slip." Duan Shaojun naturally spared no effort to promote his products.

"It's a good thing...... "Try to pull out the horizontal knife at your waist with your gloved hand, and dance in the air, the knife is like a wash, and the wind whistle makes the tent solemn. Duan Shaojun stared blankly at this little girl dancing the knife in front of him defiantly, lying in his heart one groove after another.

What does this stinky woman mean? Ben Gongzi didn't offend you this time, did he? If you want to dance the knife, you can dance the knife, can you stay away from my brother?

"It's really good, in winter, with this hand warmer, the soldiers can suffer a lot less, so that they won't even be able to hold their weapons steadily." Seeing Duan Shaojun's distorted expression, Li Youwen was very happy, this woman, well, such a bad taste is really unbelievable.

"General, these boots are warm, warmer than the cowhide boots I wore before, and they are also very light." The pro-soldier who had tried on his felt boots next to him walked around the camp tent with a surprised face, and made a few special jumps, and ran a few steps faster, like a monkey that had scurried from the forest to the plain.

"Warmer than your cowhide boots?" After the knife was finished, Li Youwen, who was thinking about herself and was refreshed, walked over curiously, and carefully inquired about the feelings of the pro-soldier. The doubts in my heart are getting heavier and heavier.

"Duan Changshi, tell Ben Shuai the truth, where did you get these things? Whether it was this glove, or this felt boot, or these clothes that seemed to be easy to wear, Ben Shuai had never seen them. Li Youwen took a deep breath, sat back at the back of the desk, squinted her eyes, and examined the long history of this old god.

There is always a feeling in my heart that the appearance of these things must be related to the existence of this guy, and the connection is extremely deep.

"General Zhen, these winter clothes are all products of the Saibei Branch of Xu's Commercial Group." Duan Shaojun coughed dryly and explained.

"What is the origin of this Xu's Business Group? Why Ben Shuai has never heard of it. Li Youwen was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully for a long time, in her impression, there was no one surnamed Xu among the famous wealthy businessmen in Beijing.

"This Xu's business group has its roots in Jiangnan, and then went to Beijing to develop." Duan Shaojun said dryly. The main thing is that I can't bear the attitude of this General Li.

Li Youwen took a deep breath, looking at these equipment with great practical value, the shock in her heart was really difficult to describe in words. This Xu's Business Group is too capable, right?

Although there are a few things, I can't see what specific uses there are, but whether it is the leggings, or the kind that saves fabric and cotton, and can not affect the actions of the soldiers, this style of clothing is simply carefully designed for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

There is also this felt boot, although Li Youwen did not personally test it, but in terms of its thickness, afterfeel, weight and workmanship, it is better than the leather boots on the feet of the pro-soldier, at least in terms of warmth, looking at the unbelievable joy on the face of the pro-soldier, the expression that does not take off after wearing it is enough to prove that the comfort of this kind of boots must be very good.

Gloves are also very good, especially suitable for the army, in the past, in the extremely cold deep winter, if you accidentally touch the cold blade, you may be frozen because of the quick freeze, and with this thing, there is no worry about this aspect at all.

In addition, there is another thing with a very strange shape, according to Duan Shaojun's words, it is a hat, which is very strange, but in his words, it can be put on the inside of the helmet to keep the head warm.

Although it looks a little ugly, it can be regarded as a practical thing.

All of these made Li Youwen both curious and excited, and the excitement was that if the Zuo Yulin guards could have these equipment, then this winter would be much better. But the problem is that these things are not military supplies deployed by the court.

This means that if you want to get your hands on it, you either forcibly levy it or give money. The question is do you have money?

Li Youwen is not the kind of royal family that knows how to operate, ******** is all on the military, and its cost, in addition to the general's money, is also the princess's food. There is no foreign wealth at all.

And these money silks are sometimes taken out by her to reward meritorious soldiers, so Li Youwen, the eldest princess, if she says three or five thousand taels of silver, she will definitely be able to take it. But if you want to change all the clothes of Zuo Yulin's guards, then you can only think about it at most.
