Chapter 296 Qiao Ye Becomes Famous in the Capital
Jiang Yilin discovered that this little follower was indeed very perceptive.
No wonder he wants to bring the other person to play every time he comes back.
He smiled and showed off, "This is a sweater my sister specially asked someone to knit for me."
"It fits snugly and keeps you warm, and is very comfortable."
"A sweater like this is warmer than wearing several layers of clothes, and it doesn't make you look bulky."
"There are also woolen trousers, which are just as close-fitting and warm. They are very comfortable."
Someone couldn't help but reached out and touched his sweater, "It feels really soft."
"It feels very thin, no wonder you don't look bloated when you wear it."
"Is it really that warm?"
Jiang Yilin pointed to the woolen gloves on the table and said, "These are woolen gloves. You can try them to see if they are warm."
So everyone rushed to try on the woolen gloves.
“It’s really warm.”
"It's also very light, so I can carry things with me without any trouble."
"Can't you still wear it while working?"
"It's not only warm, but also very light and comfortable to wear. It must be good to wear on the body."
A playboy came over and said with a smile: "Third brother, how about you take off this sweater so I can try it?"
Jiang Yilin said angrily: "Get lost, it's not proper to take off your clothes in public."
"Besides, you've worn it before, so how can I wear it?"
Everyone:"……"
It's as if you didn't take off your outer robe just now.
Now everyone realized that this guy obviously wanted to show off his sweater, so he deliberately said that he was hot and wanted to take off his outer robe.
They said that even though there were a lot of people, it wasn't so hot that they had to take off their outer robes.
But this sweater is really a good thing, I want it.
Someone asked: "San'er, can I buy this sweater?"
Jiang Yilin replied: "Except for bicycles, we can sell candles and sweaters and trousers."
"You can write down the size of your clothes and have them sent to Changping Village to be made to order with my sister."
Someone immediately said, "Then I will send someone to Mayu County tomorrow."
Others chimed in, "Me too, I want to buy candles, sweaters, trousers and gloves."
Some said regretfully: "It's a pity that the bicycle is not for sale, otherwise I would like it too."
Others felt the same regret.
Jiang Yilin smiled and said, "The tire on the bicycle wheel is made of special materials. My sister doesn't have many of these."
“But hopefully I’ll be able to buy it next year.”
He lifted his feet up again and placed them on the chair next to him.
"By the way, my shoes are made of that material, and they're not for sale right now. They may only be available next year."
As I was talking about this, I could naturally show off my boots.
The little follower reached out and poked the big leather boots on Jiang Yilin's feet.
He exclaimed: "Third brother, your shoes are so sturdy."
Then he asked, "What else is special about these boots?"
He has been following Jiang Yilin for several years, so he naturally understands his character.
These shoes are definitely a novelty that can be shown off, so I have to support them.
Sure enough, Jiang Yilin smiled and said, "The soles of my shoes won't get wet even when I step on water or snow, and the body of the shoes won't get wet either."
Everyone was stunned again when they heard it, "Is it true?"
“And the soles of shoes that don’t get wet?”
Jiang Yilin ordered someone to fetch water, "If you don't believe me, I'll give it a try."
Soon, someone brought a basin of water.
Jiang Yilin took it and poured it directly onto his shoes.
And kept stepping in the water on the ground.
After a while, he returned to a dry place and took off his shoes.
He said, "If you don't mind, you can touch it and see if it's wet."
The little follower didn't mind and reached in to try it.
An exaggerated look appeared on his face, "Ah, it's all done."
"Not just the sole, the whole inside of the shoe is dry."
He looked at Jiang Yilin again and asked, "And Third Brother, why are your shoes so warm?"
Jiang Yilin replied: "Because I added a layer of fleece inside my shoes, they are light, comfortable to wear and warm."
Others who were not disgusted also reached into their shoes to test it out, and said, "It's not wet at all."
“It’s really warm.”
But there are few such people.
Most of the young masters would disdain it and would never put their hands into Jiang Yilin’s shoes.
But he couldn't help being curious, so he asked his personal servant or guard to try it.
The results I got are the same as what others have said.
So everyone gathered around Jiang Yilin to look at the shoes and expressed their desire for them.
Let Jiang Yilin help talk to Qiao Ye and ask him to leave at least one pair for them if he can make this kind of rubber-soled leather boots. They can buy it and money is not a problem.
Jiang Yilin couldn't hide the smug look on his face as he listened to everyone praising his sister and asking him for help.
Sure enough, it feels great to be the first one to be in the spotlight.
In the private rooms on the second and third floors, many people also watched Jiang Yilin's show-off.
Whether they were ministers who came here to meet friends or hold gatherings, or they were noblemen, they all had an idea and they all wanted it.
He was now sitting in a private room on the third floor, looking down at Xiao Wu who was standing below him and retracting his gaze.
And looking at Song Shaoyang who was sitting opposite him, "Are you interested in these things?"
Song Shaoyang opened his folding fan and shook it, "Of course."
"I will go to Mayu County in two days."
He added: "Not only do I want to meet Jiang Yilin's godsister, I also want to buy these things."
Xiao Wu's expression was a little complicated, "I didn't expect that Miss Qiao is so complicated."
It can be seen that the people below are all interested in what Jiang Yilin is showing off.
In fact, not to mention those people, even he and Song Shaoyang want it.
He emphasized to Song Shaoyang meaningfully, "It's up to you this time. It would be best if we can completely win her over and use her for our own benefit."
If we make a lot of these things and sell them, we will definitely make money.
In addition to fighting for power and winning over ministers, money is also a key factor in the fight for succession.
If I could win Qiao Ye over and keep him in my hands, I wouldn't have to worry about money anymore.
In addition to these, he felt that she might be able to come up with more ways to make money.
Now even he couldn't help but believe that Qiao Ye once served the river god.
Song Shaoyang nodded, "I thought so too."
the other side.
In the palace, Xiao Qi also gave away the sweaters and trousers he brought.
Not only did he give the emperor two more pairs of rubber-soled leather boots, he also gave him a bicycle.
At the same time, he presented the prescription written by Qiao Ye.
He even spoke well of Qiao Ye in various ways according to the emperor's preferences.
After the emperor tried on the rubber-soled leather boots, the first thing he thought of was to use them on the soldiers on the battlefield.
After watching his son ride a circle on the bicycle, he also rode a circle with the help of his son.
My interest in this glue is extremely strong.
He also ordered several ministers to be summoned to the palace immediately, and showed them rubber-soled leather boots and bicycles.
The ministers were all amazed that this glue was a good thing and should be produced in large quantities.
Not long after, people with missions left the capital one after another and went to various places to find the plants written on Qiao Ye's paper.
And where these plants were found, royal estates were established to grow them specifically according to the above method.
Of course, when the emperor ate meat, he would also let his ministers drink some soup.
Those who knew the news in advance immediately sent people to look for it and then prepared to plant it.
The emperor already had an impression of Qiao Ye, and now his impression was even deeper.
Qiao Ye has made great contribution by offering the prescription, so he should be rewarded.
However, due to Qiao Ye's identity and the distance he lived, the emperor was a little worried about how to reward him.
I heard from my son that he once asked Qiao Ye what kind of reward he wanted.
Qiao Ye actually only wanted a hill or a farm outside Beijing.
The emperor's first impression was that this girl was really simple.
But this actually made him feel more favorable and at ease.
Qiao Ye didn't ask for much, and he felt it would be bad to give less.
So he was rewarded not only with two nice hilltops outside the capital, the farms attached to them, and hundreds of acres of fertile land, but also with a house in a good location in the capital.
At the same time, many families in the capital also received the news.
It wasn't just Jiang Yilin's showing off that made everyone aware of the existence of these things.
There is also the actions of the emperor and several ministers, as well as the emperor's attention and rewards to Qiao Ye.
The name Qiao Ye also entered the ears of the prince and many noble families.
The next morning, all the ministers knew about Qiao Ye and were deeply impressed.
Because Prince Yi and his two sons rode bicycles, wore turtleneck sweaters under their official uniforms, and wore rubber-soled leather boots to court.
Not only did he let all the ministers see it, he also deliberately showed it off.
When he went to court, the emperor mentioned the matter of Jiao again and sent someone to Mayu County to announce the decree and commend Qiao Ye.
Because of this, Qiao Ye became famous in the capital.
After the court session ended, Prince Yi took the initiative to stop Jiang Jian who was about to leave.
