Chapter 204 This is His Majesty's Credit
"If you're not careful, you'll fall. When the snow melts, the road becomes muddy and difficult to walk on. And this kind of work in the mountains and the countryside is what they need to do."
Fusu also arranged a small task for Jixiang.
Jixiang, servants like them didn't know much and couldn't read the account books.
There is also no way to keep an eye on the sale of supplies and road clearing.
I can only focus on the small kitchen and the work of keeping warm.
Thinking of this, Fusu turned his head and looked at Jixiang.
He added, "If there's still time, you might as well collect some unwanted clothes and bedsheets from the palace."
"Cut these things into the shape of clothes and fill them with some willow catkins and cotton to keep you warm."
"When we distribute them to disaster-stricken families, they won't have to sew them themselves, and we won't have to buy ready-made quilts."
Fusu thought this was a good idea.
It's not for someone of status in the palace, and it requires more delicate stitches.
As long as it's wearable and keeps you warm, it's fine.
As long as it can keep you warm, those people won’t mind it even if it’s a little ugly.
This can save some money.
Buying pre-made clothes and quilts will be more expensive.
You can save some money if you buy fabric, cotton and willow catkins and make it yourself.
Fusu still didn't know how many families were affected by the disaster, and whether the money he had was enough. Now he just wanted to save some costs.
If this method is feasible.
He could buy cloth and cotton and simply have his servants make quilts and clothes.
There is not much money in the treasury, so it would be very difficult to get His Majesty to pay.
It would be better for him to save some costs.
Plus the money donated by the people of Beijing.
There will be more people who can be rescued.
Fusu also had a sudden inspiration and came up with this idea.
Jixiang, there is not much they can do.
But as long as you don’t consider the style, you can make things like clothes and quilts with a little learning.
There is a clothing bureau in the palace.
There are quite a few scary people in Prince Fusu's mansion.
If this method is feasible, he can lead all the servants in the Prince's Mansion to rush the clothes together.
Thinking of this, Fusu felt more and more that his method was feasible.
Jixiang never thought that he would have this function.
As for the difficulty of making clothes and quilts, he had never considered it.
It’s not like I haven’t made some clothes for myself.
It’s just that the requirements for the nobles in the palace are relatively high, and their needlework does not meet the standards.
But if it is used by those country people, it just needs to be warm enough.
Jixiang quickly assured, "Leave this matter to me. I will bring all the servants in the Prince's Mansion with me. No matter how many people are needed, we can get them out."
"No need, Your Highness. Just leave it to me. As for the cotton, you can use less."
"All we can do is to ensure that some people don't freeze to death and make their lives better. They need to work hard on their own."
Jixiang knew that cotton was expensive.
Willow catkins and straw can also keep you warm, and you won’t freeze to death anyway.
Your Highness has a limited budget, and it is impossible to use the best of everything.
Doesn't that mean everyone wants to suffer disasters on their own side so that they can get better things from the court?
Fusu nodded.
"Once we have counted the number of people, I will arrange for the purchasing manager to go buy cloth and cotton. Only when we know how many families there are will I have a clear idea of the situation."
"But we've already bought some food, cloth, and cotton. You can just go directly to Lord Lin to collect them."
