Chapter 158 Cotton Textile Technology Success

A few hundred miles away from the capital, it was snowing heavily and the exile team was moving slowly on the muddy road.

The reason for choosing to leave the capital in winter was to make the prisoners suffer.

The exile stipulated a certain number of miles to travel each day and a certain amount of time to arrive, and there could be no undue delay, even in such difficult weather.

The sound of rattling chains matched the heavy footsteps, and suddenly, someone fell to the ground.

In order to prevent anyone from falling behind due to the heavy snow, everyone was tied together with a rope. If someone fell, the people behind and in front would stumble with them.

The officer walked up and kicked the man's legs, cursing, but there was no response. The man's lips were black and blue, his face was pale, and his eyebrows and hair were covered with snow.

I reached out to feel his breath and found that he was dead.

The officer cursed inwardly as he untied the ropes and dealt with the bodies. There were also a set of rules for the death of exiled prisoners, which was naturally a troublesome thing for the officers.

Everyone seemed to have become numb to such things. They just stood there huddled together, with no light in their eyes.

This is not the first time that someone has died on the road. Everyone just hopes to survive and has no energy to care about others.

The He family stood together with their backs to the wind to resist the cold.

The heat from the hot packs under the clothes continuously emits heat, and the down lining can reduce temperature loss. They can just survive this, and their situation is much more comfortable than that of other people.

"This warmer is really useful!" Mrs. He whispered.

Originally, they thought that such a small piece of space, with nothing inside, was unlikely to continue to generate heat for several hours.

Last night was particularly cold, so they decided to give it to their weak family members first.

I didn't expect it to be so useful! It's been almost five hours now and there's still some residual heat.

"But there are only two left, and I'm afraid they won't be enough for the rest." Mrs. He sighed worriedly.

She doesn't have to use it, but how can her aunt and two children withstand it without it?

"Use it first, I'll think of a solution later."

He Haizhou said this, but he knew in his heart that there was nothing he could do.

If it weren't for the things the girl sent last time and the daily ration of food distributed by the court, it would have been difficult for them to hold on after walking all day due to the huge physical exertion.

Passing by the provincial capital, he wanted to look for someone he had promoted, but he didn't even see him.

The people in the mansion were also polite, saying that the master was unfortunately out on business and would not be back for a few days.

How could he not know what this meant? He just didn't want to have anything to do with him.

He Haizhou walked in the wind and snow, and his back seemed to bend a little more.

Shen You tinkered with the system functions and customized the words on the door panel, turning it into a cyber door panel.

For example, in [Lancheng], there is a transparent board with what is collected and what are the exchangeable materials.

One more thing, I never cheat anyone and I am a conscientious businessman!
Her character over there is a mysterious doomsday merchant NPC who will trade with you for money.

Done.

Shen You picked up the ginger tea on the table and took a sip. The spicy taste mixed with sweetness quickly helped the coldness and weakness in her body disappear.

The temperature dropped suddenly this morning, and before I could react, I caught a cold.

Put down the cup, take out the walnut photo wall frame bought online, move it to the corner of the stairs, pick up the tools and nail it to the wall in two steps. Then hang up the retro decorations that add to the atmosphere.

I just went back to the first floor and took out the printed photos when the wooden door of the yard was pushed open and guests came from Da Qi's place.

Liu Zheng came to give money. The dividends from the store some time ago were nearly 20,000 taels of silver, all of which were exchanged for gold ingots.

This time, three horseshoe-shaped gold bars specially made by the palace were also sent, each weighing one hundred taels, and more than a dozen round gold cakes cast by the palace, weighing ten taels each.

"There are still a few sums of money that have not been settled at the business. They will be sent over later." Liu Zheng noticed the way Shen You looked at Ma Tijin and explained with a smile.

"This is the gold ingot that was minted in the second year after the late emperor won the battle in Yunzhou. There are a total of 100 ingots, which are used to reward princes and ministers. His Highness said that Manager Shen might be interested."

The horseshoe gold was last seen on the official website of the collection museum, in the tomb of Marquis Haihun, where there are nearly 400 gold cakes and dozens of similar horseshoe golds.

There are two shapes, large and small. There is filigree inlay around the edge and jade on the top. It was made during the reign of Emperor Wu.

Shen You didn't have time to see the real thing, but he saw the one cast by Da Qi first.

It’s a pity that the year recorded on the bottom is not the current year, otherwise Shen You would not dare to estimate how valuable it is.

"This kind of gold ingot is extraordinary. I can't accept it for nothing." Shen You put down the gold ingot.

Li Heng smiled gently, "I came here this time to tell you that the cotton weaving improvement method has been developed. If it can really improve the efficiency of cotton weaving, the next step is to implement it in Da Qi. For such a major event, how can we say that the items awarded to the royal family by the palaces are accepted for nothing."

Is her method of sorting it out feasible? Then you can accept it.

"And this thing."

He opened another box. "It was made by a skilled craftsman in the palace as the year draws to a close. It is used as a lucky charm. Cotton textile technology is too precious to Da Qi. I hope Miss Shen can accept this return gift."

This is such a great bonus. When it is placed there, the whole house becomes several levels more luxurious.

Shen You nodded and accepted it. Li Heng then talked about the situation in Da Qi. The warm clothes were delivered to many prefectures, but the weather made it difficult to transport them to the north where they were most needed.

Now there is an enemy blockade over there, and even news cannot be transmitted. He still needs a batch of cold-resistant supplies, so his men will disguise themselves as a caravan and go to test the situation.

The enemy knew that Da Qi had good stuff from the Western Regions, so they sent countless spies, trying their best to find trading routes and sources of goods.

They were short of supplies and needed these things, but how could they know that all the things came from this shop?

He wanted to use a batch of supplies to lure the person out, and the enemy country also wanted to take the opportunity to obtain intelligence. The negotiations in between were not something Shen You should consider.

"If there are spies coming," Li Heng said, shaking his head, "I will do my best not to let these things disturb the young lady."

"Since I am cooperating with you, I will not change people casually. The bulk of the cold-resistant supplies can be given only to you."

Li Heng heaved a sigh of relief. Miss Shen's shop could be opened from Yunzhou to the capital. If the other party really came, it would not be difficult for her to give the things to the other party and transport them to the enemy country.

From high-yield seeds to cotton textile technology, to lamps that can be lit only by sunlight, none of them is not a rare treasure.

Miss Shen might have more things in her hands. From his point of view, he certainly doesn't want these things to fall into the hands of the enemy.

His heart is not pure enough, no wonder he can't shake Miss Shen.

As I was thinking, my eyes inadvertently saw the photo that Shen You placed on the table. The endless sea was so beautiful that it didn't seem like a human scenery.

There is also the person in the painting, whose hair is messy due to the wind and looks disheveled, wearing strange black pants and a heavy coat.

But the smile on her face was unrestrained and carefree, a kind of smile not seen in Beijing.

This is her world.

The person in the other painting is
