Chapter 206 Very Good
Song Siyi didn't like Jiang Baoyu very much because of Jiang Baoyu's behavior and style in the past two days.

And because Liu Siyi told her that Jiang Baoyu was Jiang Yuanhui's biological niece.

She felt that Jiang Baoyu was the kind of person who likes to be opportunistic and competitive.

It happened that Zhu Dianji had just been blackmailed by Jiang Baoyu, and he still held a grudge.

Seeing that Song Siyi's complexion was not getting any better, she stepped forward to add fuel to the story: "Returning to my lord, I heard that it was because I wanted to get better materials, so I didn't advance to select basic materials, but First go to get the private things. As a result, I was framed by the assistant little maid and missed the opportunity, that's why it happened."

Hearing Zhu Dianji's words, Zheng Siyi began to look for Jiang Baoyu's name in the material book, wanting to see what she brought in.

Song Siyi shook his head helplessly and said: "My Yan people's winter clothes have always been mainly made of animal skins, and the northern region is bitterly cold, so the winter clothes of soldiers should not be sloppy.

You don't even have animal skins now, so you can't make any suitable winter clothes.

It's such a pity, it's obvious that Mu Shangfu personally taught him, how could he be so confused? "

Song Siyi said, without looking at Jiang Baoyu's work, he would write a second grade on her report card. If Jiang Baoyu didn't make winter clothes for soldiers, Si Yi had already stipulated that as long as she made The soldier's winter clothes are automatically second class, and she is not even willing to give Jiang Baoyu this second class.

"Wait a moment."

Song Siyi hadn't finished writing, but Zheng Siyi stopped her, took the materials book and handed it in front of Jiang Baoyu, saying: "You brought in your personal materials, and only one?"

Jiang Baoyu saluted everyone with a smile.

"Yes, the little girl brought in cotton."

cotton?

Song Siyi and Liu Siyi also frowned, and then looked at the material book in Zheng Siyi's hand.

"No mistake? It's not kapok, but cotton?"

"Yes."

Jiang Baoyu responded with a smile, and took out the remaining cotton to show to the examiners.

"There is a saying in the "Northwest Zhurong Biography": 'Gaochang country, there are many grasses and trees, the grass is like a cocoon, and the silk in the cocoon is like a thin thread. It is Bai Diezi recorded in the book.

However, because the little girl went to the north with her father when she was young, when she found this crop there, she saw that it was shaped like a cloud, white as a flower, and soft to the touch, so she named it cotton by herself. "

"White Diezi?"

Song Siyi was also surprised when he heard the words, he quickly took some cotton and held it carefully in his hands, and soon he laughed excitedly: "Yes, I have also heard from Master that Gaochang Kingdom has more white cotton and less seeds. Compared with kapok, it is softer and more elastic, warmer and skin-friendly, and it will be warmer after exposure to the sun.

It is most suitable for making winter clothes. "

After Song Siyi finished speaking, he suddenly looked regretful again.

"It's a pity that this thing from the Gaochang Kingdom may not be easier to obtain than the sheep from the Qin Kingdom. You have such a chance and ingenuity, and it must be inappropriate to use it as winter clothes for our Dayan soldiers. "

Jiang Baoyu knew that the examiner would have such concerns, so he answered them fluently.

"My lord, you can rest assured that the little girl wrote a letter to my father asking him to go to the north to find the seeds of this crop and cultivate stand up.

After two years, my family's cotton field in Beidi can already produce [-] average per mu. "

"Twenty average?"

The examiners were really shocked.

Converted according to the ratio of [-] catties per unit, [-] per unit is [-] catties.A winter coat for soldiers is calculated based on the weight of three catties, and one mu of land can supply winter clothes for two hundred soldiers.

The sixteen cities of the Northlands are vast and sparsely populated. If the common people spend half of their fields to grow cotton, not only will the soldiers not have to worry about winter clothes, but the people in the city will also be able to have winter clothes.

I just don't know if it is possible to grow cotton in the inland of the Central Plains. After all, there is no reason why the nobles of the gods can't enjoy such a good thing?

Jiang Baoyu seemed to have seen the thoughts of the examiners, and immediately smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, after the breeding was successful, my father brought some seeds back and cultivated a cotton field in the courtyard of Shendu's house. Now The cotton that the little girl used to make clothes was just collected by my father a few days ago.

My father has also stated that if the court needs it, he is willing to donate the method of growing cotton to benefit the people. "

"So good, so good!"

Now, before the examiners could speak, Cui Youxiong became excited, eager to give Jiang Baoyu a first-class right away, as if he was afraid that Shui Hanzhou would score first.

Shui Hanzhou was also very pleased for Jiang Baoyu at the moment. Although he thought that Jiang Baoyu could do a good job before coming here, he didn't expect that she could do so well. She actually started preparing cotton two years ago.

Although her original intention at the beginning was definitely not to be a soldier's winter coat, but after all, it was because of her preparations that the good result today was possible.

But before the two of them gave Jiang Baoyu a score, Zheng Siyi suddenly frowned and said, "Wait, before I score, I still have a question for you.

Compared with kapok, although cotton is of better quality, it is still the same as kapok after all, soft and loose, not as good as fur with a leather base.

If things go on like this, they will pile up into lumps, and it is difficult to keep warm evenly. This is also the main reason why wealthy people do not like to use kapok as winter clothes.

When you use cotton to make winter clothes for soldiers, have you considered this issue? "

As soon as Zheng Siyi said this, everyone calmed down. It is true that cotton is more comfortable to wear than kapok and animal skins, but the problem Zheng Siyi said does exist, so ancient books only record Gaochang used cotton to weave cloth, but did not mention using it to make winter clothes.

So at this moment, everyone's eyes are all on Jiang Baoyu again. I'm afraid that she, like Xu Qingmeng, didn't seize the great opportunity and missed the top spot because of poor consideration.

What's more, after Xu Qingmeng's three-a-two-b incident just now, in order to maintain the standard, the examiners will not easily give people a first-class right now. If Jiang Baoyu doesn't answer Zheng Siyi well, he might not even be a first-class. will not have.

Fortunately, Jiang Baoyu was well prepared, and replied without changing his face: "Yes, my lord, please take a look."

As she said that, she pointed to the cotton that had been left on the side without sewing a cloth on it and said: "Although cotton is rootless like kapok, it is more viscous than silk cotton and kapok. Paste it one by one, and then use a needle and thread to make it firm and not lumpy, and keep warm evenly."

While talking, Jiang Baoyu shook the tampon that had been sewn a few times vigorously.

It's very solid, and it hasn't been thrown out at all.

Seeing that all the examiners became excited, Liu Siyi even looked at the padded robe that Jiang Baoyu had already made, stretched out his hand and stroked it, and said, "I just said, why did I just see your clothes, one by one? I even sewed a few lines with thread, it looks so pretty, I thought you were just as thoughtful as those candidates who bothered to spend time on the lines and didn’t pay attention to the practical effect, it’s because I’m superficial.”
