"Sir, look, this is the sweater and knitted pants that Princess Consort had Guyu Sister make for me!"
Wang Lifu, brimming with joy, showed his newly acquired sweater and knitted pants to Master Wang, even putting on the sweater to show it off.
"Sir, this woolen sweater is so warm to wear. When the wool is sheared in autumn, I’ll have my mother buy some wool as well, and we’ll make a set of sweater and knitted pants for you."
Master Wang smiled as he looked at the sweater and knitted pants, saying with a laugh, "You little rascal are quite fortunate." His expression then turned somewhat wistful.
With these warm sweaters and knitted pants, things will be a lot better for the people of Xiliang during winter.
Wang Lifu carefully folded the sweater and knitted pants: "The Princess Consort is really amazing, to be able to knit clothes with bamboo needles. This will be another source of income for the herders in the future."
Master Wang chuckled: "Indeed, the Prince is formidable, and so is the Princess Consort. Their arrival in Xiliang is a blessing for the people here."
It’s not just the herders who will have an additional source of income from selling wool; the skillful women can also earn some silver to supplement their household.
The military supplies department has recruited a large number of women to spin wool and knit sweaters.
Once the method of knitting sweaters is widely spread, merchants will definitely want to buy them. In other inland provinces, there aren’t many sheep herders, so selling woolen items to other places will certainly be profitable.
