    Daohua only knows the most basic knitting stitches, which she learned by herself when she was bored in her previous life. When she knitted a small vest sweater for her son, many maids and mothers-in-law in the house gathered to watch, among which the most interested one  They belong to people in the sewing room.

    Acupuncture is not difficult to learn. Daohua demonstrated it twice to the people in the sewing room, and they learned it quickly. Not only that, they also invented new acupuncture techniques.

    ¡°Professional matters should be left to professionals.¡±

    Daohua¡¯s hands are not as skillful as those in the sewing room, but she has seen a lot of wool knitting supplies. Through her frequent requests, the sewing room did not take long to make sweaters, hats, scarves and other supplies with different patterns.

    Guo Ruomei looked at the waistcoats, gloves, socks and other small items brought from the sewing room, and couldn't help but said: "It's very convenient to knit sweaters with these bamboo sticks."

    Daohua: "Many families here in Xiliang cannot afford looms, but these bamboo sticks are not hard to come by. My mother also saw it. This stitch is not difficult to learn. Almost all the women at home can learn it.  Understood."

    Guo Ruomei looked surprised: "You want to promote the skill of knitting sweaters?"

    Daohua smiled and said: "I didn't invent the stitching technique for knitting sweaters. If it can be popularized among the common people, fewer people will suffer from the cold when winter comes."

    "The sweater knitted by this knitted sweater is light, soft, has good warmth retention, and is also very durable. It can be refurbished at any time even if it is worn out or worn out."

    Guo Ruomei smiled and nodded: "Wool is not rare in Xiliang. If we really promote it, the lives of the people in Xiliang will be much easier."

    As he spoke, he looked at Daohua with a smile.

    "You have done another good thing for the people."

    Daohua smiled and said modestly: "This is nothing. If Xiliang wants to develop, it mainly depends on Yeyang. What I have done can only slightly improve the lives of the people."

    Guo Ruomei: "This is enough."

    That night, when Xiao Yeyang came back, he also looked through the woolen fabrics. The first thing he thought of was the army.

    Although cotton-padded clothes are now handed down to soldiers, the winter in Xiliang is too cold, and you will still be freezing if you only wear cotton-padded clothes.

    With sweaters and woolen pants, the effect of keeping out the cold will be much better.

    "Don't spread the stitches of this sweater to others yet. I'll collect a batch of wool and bring it up first. In the cold winter, the common people can still warm themselves by the fire at home, but the soldiers have to patrol outside."

    Money is needed to govern every part of Xiliang, so now he has to be careful with his budget.

    In the past, wool was mainly bought by some wealthy businessmen to make wool blankets and wool felts. There were not many buyers, and the amount was not much. But once the stitches for knitting sweaters are spread, the price of wool may rise.

    Naturally, Daohua did not refuse, and just asked: "Do you have to take care of all these things? Xiliang belongs to the border, and there are many border troops stationed there. The various materials needed are huge, and the Department does not have a special military supplies department to manage them.  Are you wearing these?"

    Xiao Yeyang's eyes lit up: "Military Supplies Department?"

    Daohua nodded: "It is the department responsible for supplying the daily supplies needed by the army."

    Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "Don't tell me, it really doesn't exist. In the past, the guards were responsible for all kinds of materials needed by the frontier army."

    Military Supplies Department

    If Xiliang wants to separate the military and political affairs, he should really build a military supplies department.

    Xiao Yeyang hugged the rice flower and said with a smile: "You are really my lucky star." After saying that, he paused and said, "What do you think of letting Su Hongxin take charge of the munitions department?"

    Daohua: "Huh?"

    Xiao Yeyang: "Su Hongxin came all the way to join me. Now that the war with Xiliao is over, we can't let him stay in the army. Yuan Xuan and your eldest brother both have their own errands, so it's hard to leave him behind.  "

    Daohua smiled and said, "You have to make up your own mind about this."

    The next day, when Xiao Yeyang arrived at Dusi, he sent a message to Su Hongxin, asking him to come to Liangdu. Then he looked at the map of Liangdu, and finally planned to transform the Wei Family Grain Store on the outskirts of Liangdu into a military supplies department.

    The grain farm of the Wei family not only covers a large area, but is also very solidly built with hundreds of warehouses, which is very suitable for storing military supplies.

    At the same time, people were sent to start collecting wool.

    In this regard, the officials of Dusi were a little confused.

    "What are you doing collecting wool for? Isn't this nonsense?"

    "That's right, the capital has little money to begin with, but now it has to build roads, post houses, and family quarters for border troops. The capital is almost empty."

    "Forget it, no matter what you do, if Prince Xiao wants to do it, let him do it. When there is no more money, he will naturally know to stop."

      Speaking of Su Hongxin's side, as soon as he received Xiao Yeyang's letter, he immediately rushed to Liangdu with his personal guards.

    The first thing he said when he saw Xiao Yeyang was: "I thought you had forgotten me!"

    Xiao Yeyang glanced at him sideways and gave him the plan of the General Supplies Department: "The Military Supplies Department is on guard, fourth grade, in charge of various military supplies for the Xiliang frontier army. Are you willing to do it?"

    Su Hongxin didn't even finish reading the planning map, so he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes." Once the war with Xiliao stopped, if he wanted to be promoted in the military town, he would have to wait for seniority.

    Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "Is it enough to give you half a month to settle your family?"

    Su Hongxin smiled and said: "That's enough, that's enough, but I have to trouble you to send me two people who are familiar with Liangdu. I have to buy the house first."

    Xiao Yeyang said directly: "Go find Wen Xiu, he is familiar with this aspect."

    Su Hongxin: "Okay, I'll go down first."

    After the Military Supplies Department was designated, a large amount of wool was sent there. When the spring wool harvest was almost complete, news came out from the Weiyuan Palace that everyone could go to the Four Seasons Ranch to learn to knit sweaters with bamboo sticks.

    "Using bamboo sticks to weave clothes? Is it true?"

    ¡°Which ranch is Four Seasons Ranch? Why haven¡¯t you heard of it before?¡±

    ¡°Silly, there are Four Seasons Grain Shop, Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Shop, and Four Seasons Pharmacy in the city. These shops are all opened by Princess Weiyuan, so the Four Seasons Ranch must also be owned by Princess Weiyuan.¡±

    "Would you like to go take a look?"

    "Nonsense, I must go. Can the things from the palace be bad? If bamboo sticks can really weave clothes, maybe I can wear new clothes this year."

    After hearing the news, the Dusi officials understood why Xiao Yeyang had been hoarding a large amount of wool some time ago.

    Everyone arrived at the Four Seasons Ranch with a curious attitude.

    In order to promote the stitching techniques for knitting sweaters, Daohua also put in a lot of effort. Throughout the process, people from the sewing room demonstrated how to clean wool, how to twist wool into wool of different thicknesses, how to dye it, and how to weave wool into clothes.

    For the first batch of people to start learning, the ranch also gave away a set of bamboo sticks for free.

    Almost all women nowadays can do needlework, and as Daohua thought, it is not difficult for women to learn.

    When the first person knitted a sock, everyone no longer had a spectator mentality.

    Yan Shouhou stood up with a smile and said: "My princess said that the ranch will teach everyone how to knit sweaters for free for a month. Anyone who wants to learn can come."

    ¡°Those who bring their own bamboo sticks and wool can take away the items they weave. Those who don¡¯t bring these must keep the items they weave.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
