The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

"Is there a big difference in their warmth retention?"

"How so? If we're just talking about warmth, the two might not be that different."

Furthermore, ordinary families generally wouldn't buy those down jackets that cost several thousand yuan; they mostly choose more affordable styles.

Lin Fan himself used to wear down jackets that cost only a few hundred yuan each.

In winter, as long as you wear thermal underwear, a thick long-sleeved T-shirt, and a down jacket, you can basically get through the winter.

However, this is in comparison to winter in Sichuan Province. If it were in the north, his outfit would definitely not be enough to get through the winter.

After listening to Lin Fan's explanation, Li Shimin lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Although the Tang Dynasty has now begun to cultivate cotton, the imperial court also regularly distributes cotton-padded clothing to soldiers.

However, the cotton processing technology in the Tang Dynasty is currently quite basic, and since short-staple cotton is the main crop, the warmth provided by cotton-padded clothing is very limited.

Some soldiers were also equipped with leather clothing, such as sheepskin, but it was ultimately impossible to equip them on a large scale.

Under such circumstances, many taxi drivers on the northern defense line suffer from frostbite on their hands and feet every year.

With a down jacket, this situation would likely be greatly alleviated.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked up at Lin Fan and said, "Kid, why don't you bring me a few samples of down jackets from the future? If they're suitable, I'd like to equip every soldier of the Tang Dynasty with one."

"Okay, checking out the samples is no problem, but getting all the troops to wear down jackets is going to be a bit difficult."

Lin Fan couldn't help but show a hint of difficulty on his face, after all, the Tang Dynasty's current military strength was conservatively estimated to be at least several hundred thousand.

Producing hundreds of thousands of down jackets in a short period of time is no easy task.

Li Shimin was taken aback; he knew this was a difficult matter.

After a moment's thought, he continued, "How about this, let's meet the needs of the north first, since the winters there are no joke."

"Approximately how many sets are needed?"

Li Shimin stroked his chin and tentatively said, "How about 100,000 sets to start?"

"One hundred thousand sets?" Lin Fan exclaimed instinctively.

"What, is that a lot? How about 80,000 sets?" Li Shimin said somewhat nervously.

"Alright, I'll try my best." Lin Fan slumped into his chair like a deflated balloon. "I'll show you the samples in the next couple of days, and then we'll find a factory to see if we can customize it."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you." Li Shimin patted Lin Fan on the shoulder. "But don't worry, there's still at least a month or so here."

After having dinner with Empress Zhangsun at the Lizheng Hall, Lin Fan returned to the villa with the princesses.

"Brother Lin Fan, I don't have to practice driving these few days, let's hurry up and get the down jackets sorted out." As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Chang Le also wanted to do something for the soldiers on the frontier.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and get the down jacket."

Back in his bedroom, Lin Fan began rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for his down jacket.

After searching for a long time, he finally remembered that he hadn't brought any winter clothes with him when he moved.

When we moved, it was the height of summer, and all I could think about was my little princess, so I only took a few summer clothes.

Although the temperature has dropped recently, it's only a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings, and it's not quite time to wear a down jacket yet, so I've overlooked this.

Lin Fan walked out of the elevator empty-handed. "Changle, I need to go back to where I used to live. My winter clothes are still there and I haven't brought them over."

"Lin Fan, I'm going!"

"I want to go too!"

Upon hearing that they were going back to the old house, the two little princesses immediately surrounded Lin Fan. Although Wen Cheng didn't understand these things, there was also a sense of anticipation in his eyes.

Speaking of her previous place, Chang Le felt a little nostalgic. She hadn't been back even once since moving to the villa.

"Since we have nothing else to do, let's all go back and take a look."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go together then."

Mingyue and Qiuxia were also somewhat tempted, but they knew there wasn't enough room in the car and didn't want to cause Lin Fan any trouble, so they volunteered to stay at the villa.

More than half an hour later, we arrived at the neighborhood where we had stayed before, with the little princess leading the way.

After taking the elevator upstairs, Lin Fan took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

The next second, a long-lost aura wafted over.

In the living room, everything remained as it was before, except that it was now covered with a thin layer of ash.

This is how it looked after Lin Fan's parents came to clean it once before; otherwise, there would probably be even more dust.

"Hooray, we're back!" The little princess ran to the center of the living room, opened her arms, and jumped and cheered.

Lin Fan drew back the curtains and opened the living room window to let in some fresh air.

The moment the sunlight streamed into the room, the air was filled with swirling dust.

Chang Le frowned slightly. "Si Zi, stop jumping around. It's all dusty here."

Although I haven't been back for a while and the house feels a bit lifeless, thankfully there's no unpleasant smell.

Lin Fan looked around, and the memories of his time living here with the two little princesses were still vivid in his mind.

This was the first time Wencheng had ever seen such a small, single-story house, and he couldn't help but look it over.

"Brother Lin Fan, since it's still early, why don't we tidy up the place?" Chang Le suggested.

Lin Fan waved his hand gently, "It's okay, no need. I'll contact a cleaning company to come and tidy it up in a while."

"Calling a cleaning company? Isn't that a waste of money?" Chang Le walked towards the bathroom on her own. "Anyway, the place isn't big, it'll be cleaned up quickly."

Lin Fan: Are you being polite?

This is something my parents worked hard for decades to buy.

Chang Le started cleaning, while Lin Fan took his suitcase and returned to his room to pack his clothes.

The little princess transformed into a "busy person" at this moment, helping Chang Le clean the house one minute and folding clothes for Lin Fan the next.

After bringing the packed suitcase to the living room, seeing the little princess's lively demeanor, Lin Fan suddenly recalled their first meeting.

"Sizi, do you remember what it was like when you first met your brother?"

The little princess stared wide-eyed for a moment, then shook her head.

"Brother Lin Fan, since Si Zi has forgotten, why don't you tell us quickly?" Cheng Yang chimed in with a laugh.

"Okay." Lin Fan led the three little princesses to the cleaned sofa and sat down.

"I remember it was the middle of the night, but I forgot the exact time. I was lying on this sofa sleeping, and I was half asleep when I suddenly felt something pressing on my chest."

When I first saw Sizi, I thought I was dreaming. It wasn't until I came to my senses that I realized there was a little baby sleeping in my arms.
