Chapter 219 in full swing
In the palace and Tingtao Pavilion, Li Li and Huang Gui looked at the crown prince in a new military uniform and were very satisfied.
Although Li Fang was wearing military uniforms to show the characteristics of this new uniform, in the eyes of his parents, he only had an outstanding good son.
He is tall, handsome and majestic. With the contrast of military uniforms and the "plus" of military temperament, he is always a "handsome guy".
Li Li was very satisfied with his son's appearance, and even a little jealous: Top-notch, rich and handsome, this is it!
Li Fang has been very nutritious since childhood. With Li Li's scientific theory to guide his diet (adding more calcium and sunbathing more), and getting his mother's "heredity" (Huang Yan is very tall), so he is tall.
Heighter than Li Li.
In addition, if you keep exercising, your shoulders are wide, and you look like a "clothing rack" and you will be energetic in whatever you wear.
Li Fang "hered" his mother's appearance and looked handsome, which was much better than his "ordinary" father.
Li Li and Huang Gui's attention was all attracted by his son's majesty. Seeing that his parents' attention was completely distorted, Li Fang was a little helpless and quickly reminded: "Military uniform, military uniform..."
"Hmm? Oh, okay, okay..." Li Li finally came to his senses, looked at the military uniforms his son was wearing, and carefully touched the red fabric, and asked:
"How many times will this new military uniform fade significantly when it is washed?"
"This one on my body has been washed ten times."
Li Li looked at the military uniform carefully and found no signs of different colors or obvious fading. He was a little suspicious: "Ten times, it wasn't it washed continuously, right?"
Li Fang shook his head: "No, it's worn on his body. After being wet with sweat, wash it again overnight, wear it again, wash it again, wash it again, eight times in total."
Li Li asked again: "How to wash it? Just pound it? Or did you use soap?"
Li Fang answered confidently: "All washing and washing methods have been used, and it will not fade easily."
"Well, when you wear itchy or rash on your body, you feel uncomfortable?" Li Li continued to ask, as if he was looking for trouble.
Li Fang shook his head: "No, I have never seen allergies, and when I wear it, the red color will not stain the body."
Huang Gui saw that Li Li knew the reason, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He looked at his son's military uniform and was very satisfied.
The red color of this fabric is dyed with a new red dye, which is washable and not easy to fade (relatively speaking), but it is a very important breakthrough.
If you sell openly, there will inevitably be a shortage of supply.
But before, the dyed fabrics that are resistant to washing cannot be said to be lacking, but are rare.
When she was a child, she dressed as a man and wore colored clothes on weekdays. She rarely washed them. She basically changed them to a new one after wearing them a few times.
My mother has been teaching her to make her more thrifty, so Huang Feng didn't understand why she wasted clothes so much.
Later, she gradually understood the reason: if the dyed clothes look good, they look good, but they can't help washing, and they will easily fade when they wash them.
Of course, this fading may not necessarily mean a major change in color, but it causes lighter colors in some places. Overall, the color of the clothes looks different in color, which makes them look shabby.
Her father Huang Dache is also a well-known figure in Poyang City. As a "cowardly son", even if she is not favored by her mother and brother, she cannot lose her father's face outside and wear faded clothes to date others.
Therefore, even though the casual clothes at home are all "white clothes", Huang Gui pays great attention to the clothes whenever he goes out to play with his friends.
Later, when she arrived in Jiankang, she realized that even the clothes of wealthy families were silk and satin, as long as there were sweat stains after wearing them, they would throw them away immediately, and they would not be washed and then worn.
The reason is of course because washed clothes are prone to fading and look unbalanced.
Rich and noble families have strong financial resources and throw away their clothes once they wear them. They can afford them. Ordinary people are different. They wear plain (white) cloth clothes, and it is common to have a few years of sewing and repairing them.
When she waited for the noble lady and even became the queen, she realized that this kind of waste was really helpless:
Her various dresses are indeed unwashable, and they will deform and fade after washing. If there are sweat stains, they can only be replaced.
If she washes and wears this faded dress in public, she will be embarrassed by herself and will be embarrassed by Li Li.
In history books, it is recorded that an emperor, empress or prince, and his concubine is thrifty. It is often said that this person wears washed clothes.
Wearing washed clothes is regarded as "duty and thrifty", which shows that since ancient times, it is common to only change the clothes of wealthy families and not wash them.
However, now it's different, things are changing.
Huang Yan looked at the military uniforms he wore again, looked at the fabric carefully, and sighed:
"The chemical dyes are indeed solid in color. I didn't expect that the coking products of black coal could have such a great purpose."
Li Li smiled: "Of course, otherwise, wouldn't so many people have worked hard for so many years in vain?"
Li Fang took off his military uniform and showed it to his parents: "New military uniforms are made into ready-made clothes in batches according to the number of numbers, and sent to the soldiers in the army. They can make subtle modifications according to their body shape."
"In this way, the logistics burden is reduced a little, with the same transportation weight, garments and cloths, the former's 'effective weight' more..."
"Standard size clothing types are divided into several numbers, and batch garments are very convenient. They are nothing more than red clothes for military uniforms and other colors of clothes for civilian uniforms. In this way, the production cost of the clothing yard has been greatly reduced..."
Huang Yan probably knew what his son said, especially the products of "ready-to-wear". He asked: "What is the sales of ready-to-wear now?"
"Because it is washable and not expensive, of course the sales are good." Li Li smiled and was very satisfied with the business opportunities brought by technological progress.
In ancient times, it was difficult for the ready-to-wear industry to grow in scale. People wanted to buy clothes, and they usually found tailor-made ones.
But now, with the development of the textile industry (including printing and dyeing), large-scale sales of ready-to-wear in some metropolises are already possible.
Of course, the military's demand for military uniforms is a huge support for the garment industry. Li Fang specially wore new military uniforms to show his parents today, which is to show a result of logistics preparations for the upcoming battle to destroy Zhou:
Yousibei has laid a large number of ready-made clothes (different numbers), which is enough to provide uniforms to the soldiers.
Instead of asking tailors to make clothes for the soldiers in the battalion after receiving the fabric.
Whether it is summer clothes or cold clothes, they are uniformly made by several quilt clothes/garment production sites and distributed by Yousi.
Then, when the war begins, the rear field can do its best to produce all kinds of military supplies, including military uniforms, according to the order at any time.
Even if the war is long-term, such as continuing until next year, sufficient logistics supply and a secure logistics transportation system can ensure that the department will deliver all kinds of military supplies to the frontline soldiers in a timely manner.
This is the result of preparation for war, and the work the marching staff has been taking charge.
Li Li held this military uniform and said to Huang Gui: "Textile and printing and dyeing technology are both military and civilian. We first use the military orders to support the quilt/garment production site, increase the output of ready-made garments, and then sell a large number of ready-made garments to the public."
"As long as the price is cheap and it is indeed washable, the sales of ready-to-wear will be opened."
"Of course, that's what happened in the future. Now, when it comes to military uniforms, it can be said that when the war begins, the lineup of the official army will be in full swing."
As the allusion in full swing (Thu is white), Huang Gui knew it and couldn't help but wonder: "White military uniforms? It's conspicuous, but it's not resistant to dirt!"
Li Li shook his head: "This is a quote from the idiom, not to say that he should wear white military uniforms."
"The uniforms and colors of some teams must be different so that they can be seen at a glance on the battlefield, which will facilitate the command of the general."
