" Minister, can that black coal and oil really be used to make clothes?”
On the way back, the guard, Little Wang, could not help but ask.
He thought about the black oil and coal, but he couldn't associate them with the clothes he was wearing.
In his concept, cotton, wool, hemp thread, and silk could be woven into cloth and then sewn into clothes.
The oil was so black, like mud.
The coal was also black, and his hands were covered in coal ash.
How could they make clothes?
Little Wang, the guard, could not figure out how to twist the mud-like oil and stone-like coal into threads and then weave them into cloth to sew clothes.
If he could make clothes, he would be like a god.
Little Wang, the guard, thought to himself. He kept imagining what the fabric and clothes made of coal and oil would look like and whether they would also look black.
Don't blame the security officer, Little Wang, for thinking this way.
In fact, let alone the people of this era who could not understand the wonders of chemistry, even in the 21st century of Chen Qi's previous life, very few people knew that the clothes they usually wore were originally made of oil and coal.
In this way, everyone could understand why oil and coal were so important and called black gold.
Yang Zhao didn't believe it either. However, he was someone who had been educated in the new era, so even though he had great doubts about Li Daniu's words, he didn't directly deny it.
Therefore, after hearing the guard's words, he could only say in a muffled voice,"Who knows? Maybe Chen Wanqian came up with some evil tricks again and came to our logistics department to cheat money.”
"Really? Black or white, we'll know when we go back and take a good look.”
Of course, even though Yang Zhao said this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation in his heart. Even his legs sped up.
Don't ask why he didn't ride a tricycle. After all, cotton still had to be harvested.
Tricks like these should be left for the logistics department to collect cotton. How could they be used for traveling?
Hearing Yang Zhao's answer, the guard Xiao Wang thought that it made sense, so he stopped thinking about the oil and clothes. He hurriedly followed Yang Zhao's footsteps and rushed back to the headquarters.
.............
The journey of more than ten miles was supposed to take an hour.
In the end, because the two of them had something on their minds, they only used more than half an hour to walk back.
When Yang Zhao returned to the Yanzhou headquarters, he didn't go to see Chen Qi and the other chiefs immediately. Instead, he went straight to the logistics department.
He wanted to see if the people from the Military Industry Department had really brought two carts of cloth and clothes over. He wanted to see if oil and coal could really be used to make cloth.
With this thought in mind, Yang Zhao quickly arrived at the logistics department.
Then, his eyes widened.
Two tractors were parked in the small square of the logistics department. The vehicles were filled with cloth and clothes. They were surrounded by people who seemed to be here to watch the cloth and clothes sent by the military department.
Looking closely, they were all people from the logistics department.
Yang Zhao frowned, his face darkening. He felt that the people in his department were embarrassing him.
All of them were gathered there like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
If this matter were to spread, where would Old Yang put his face?
"Alright, why are you all gathered here? Do you have nothing to do? If there's nothing else, go and play with cotton."
Yang Zhao's shout instantly frightened the logistics department members who were watching the new fabric and clothes.
When they saw Yang Zhao walking over with a dark expression, they immediately turned into birds and scattered.
Without the crowd blocking his view, Yang Zhao finally saw the fabric and clothing on the tractor. He was completely stunned.
Because he really didn't think that the people from the Military Industry Department would really bring over two carts full of cloth and clothes.
This made him feel like it was unreal.
When he walked to the front of the tractor and saw the shiny fabric and clothes on it, he couldn't help but walk over quickly. He touched it left and right, but he couldn't figure out what the fabric was.
Was it really made of oil and coal?
Yang Zhao couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
But was that even possible?
He was still unwilling to believe it.
If he could use oil and coal to make fabrics and clothes, why would he go door-to-door to collect cotton?
They could just directly transport a few carts of oil and coal to the military department.
In this way, the Eighth Route Army would never lack clothes in the future. They might even be able to help the villagers in the base area so that they could have new clothes to wear.
"Hello, Chief!"
Seeing Yang Zhao return, Yilong and the guards saluted him.
However, Yang Zhao couldn't care less about this. Grabbing Yilong's hand, he asked urgently,"Comrade Yilong, are these fabrics and clothes really produced by your military department, or are they made from oil and coal?”
"Commander Hui, it is indeed produced by our military department. As for what it is made of, Yilong doesn't know. He only heard from the minister that the main raw materials for making fabrics are coal and oil.”
In the face of Yang Zhao's question, Yilong didn't hide anything and directly told him what he knew.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"That's great!"
Hearing Yilong's reply, Yang Zhao was so excited that he was incoherent.
He touched the smooth fabric on the car and touched the brand new military uniform. It took him a long time to wake up from his excitement.
Then, he said to Yilong and the guards,
