Roland, as a Western lord, naturally did not have to do it himself, he just needed to draw a general appearance on the paper, and then explain it to the recruited tailor.

Although he has not personally touched the bra, there are too many kinds of advertisements, TV programs and movies, and there are so many shapes - he chose the most common shoulder strap buckle, and the button is three sets of copper hooks, which can choose a certain range of looseness.

This kind of thing because the need to wear close-fitting to meet the chest requirements, so Roland also called the maid in the castle to let the tailor to measure the size, and the other party engaged in tailoring clothes for many years, the experience is also very rich, when listening to the interpretation of His Royal Highness, she immediately understood the role of the bra, and according to the actual measurement results will be divided into several grades, different grades and then subdivided into adjustment range.

In fact, this era has long appeared the prototype of the bra - that is, the corset.But it is not to make women more comfortable, but to tighten the waist as much as possible, and hold up the chest, so that the body looks like an hourglass.Those gorgeous noble dresses are also designed according to the waist, without corset assistance, I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary women to wear this waist-lined dress.Excessive pressure on the waist brings a very uncomfortable experience, and in severe cases, it can even affect blood circulation and cause fainting.

In addition to holding the chest*, bras can also play a role in fixing and reducing tremors, which will only make women more relaxed when wearing every day.

In just two days, the old tailor cut out the 20 articles of the chest, the material is Roland provided by the silk and satin and good cotton cloth, both beautiful and breathable, work is also very fine.

However, before Roland could deliver the gift to the witch, the carnage from the royal capital arrived in the border town.

Compared with the previous month's schedule, the fleet is not only late this time, but also far less than the last time, when the sailing ship docked on the dockside of the town after the expansion, there is even a rare feeling.

“Your Highness, we meet again,” Marguerite said with a smile.

"Welcome, before the transport of fugitives has worked hard for you," Roland looked to the fleet by the river, "this time the sailing seems to be much less?"

"Because of some . . . accident," she wiped the sweat from her forehead, "if you don't mind, let's go to the drawing-room, it's too hot here."

"I think so," mused Hogg, "I am a verdant gray-doer, and this damned weather could kill me."If it wasn't for the first steam engine, I wouldn't want to leave the house."

Roland nodded and returned to the castle with a group of people.Into the hall, a cold rush came on the face, and Hogg grew out of his voice, “Thank God for making us such beautiful things... If I hadn’t seen the ice-mandated production process with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it came out of the fecal water.”Oh, and ice water!“Your Highness, can I—”

"Certainly," Roland made a gesture, and then sat down to the master, and asked the businesswoman, "what accident, then, caused the sharp decline of the goods this month, mainly the nitrite?"

According to the contract, she should have supplied at least three ships of nitrites to the border town every month, but this time, there was only one sailboat carrying the nitrite.

“Because of the Royal Alchemy Association, they have recently been buying nitrites, the price is not high, but with the support of the Marquis of the royal family, so this is not a pure deal, the merchants do not want to sell can not do it."Margley said, "I guess it may be Tifeko's behind it, after all, he's almost out of a nostrils."

“Tiffany?”Roland asked doubtfully, “Didn’t he go to the South?”

"Indeed," she nodded, "it seems that Tasha has told you the news."I heard that he had brought a lot of horses and heavy horses before he left the king, and that ten were in trouble for Garcia, and the alchemy was buying nitrites shortly after he left.”

Roland knew more about this matter, the task of arranging Tsace to the work of the king was really effective, at first he only received the news that Tifeko summoned the underground mouse, in order to prevent the other party from suddenly committing, he also specially asked Pero to strengthen the work of the fortress.But the guard's next secret letter made Roland a little relieved - Tiffico went straight to the south, and it was clear that this recruitment was not against him.

For the use of these rats, Roland and the garrison's view is basically the same, that is, they are not suitable for frontal combat, discipline or even less than civilians and serfs.So Tiffico used this group in the same way as the last time, first addicted to drugs, and then forcing them to kill their enemies.This tactic of repeatedly consuming the strength of the other side by cannon fodder is a safe strategy for the new king who owns two-thirds of the gray bunker.

But why did the alchemy association suddenly buy a large number of nitrites?Snow powder was originally one of their fist products, but the wrong ratio can only be used for ringing buckets.Now are they now the correct formula for gunpowder, are they planning to be mass-produced, or are they on the road to determining the best fit ratio through a lot of trials?

Roland shook his head, put aside the doubts that came to mind, guessing that these also did not make sense, as soon as possible to complete the industrial production of three acids and two bases, and to transfer to more advanced chemical gunpowder is the right way.

“Then the next month’s nitrites can’t guarantee the supply of the three ships?”

"I don't know," said Marguerite, though somewhat embarrassed, "the ship that brought me to the West was purchased from Yingguang City, which I had spent a lot of effort on it."Now is the hottest time of summer, the demand for nitrite is very large, so I am not sure how much I can buy.If it were another season, I would guarantee the supply of the three ships.”

"I see," said Roland, taking a sip of ice water, "then try to do it next month, without and without compulsion, for I have new goods to buy from you."

“Oh?”Marguerite seemed to relax, “What?Or the minerals?”

“The washing stone for washing clothes,” he replied, “looks like a white turbid chip or stone pillar, soaked in the water will have a feeling of slipperyness, which is not uncommon in the royal hotel.”

"Indeed, it is also ore," the businesswoman smiled helplessly, "it is very difficult to understand that there is a large mine in your territory, but the goods purchased are all minerals."Well, this thing is really a lot, the price is not expensive, what are you going to use it for?"

“Nature is for making it easier to do laundry,” Roland laughed.

Washing stone is also something that he turned out from the memory of the four princes, it is essentially a natural alkali, the main component is sodium bicarbonate, with a strong decontamination effect, and grass ash, pancreas and called the ancient three cleaning tools.In the absence of ion exchange membranes, the electrolytic salt water collection of sodium hydroxide efficiency is very low, not to mention, salt is not a cabbage price thing.So he plans to buy natural alkali directly to make caustic soda.With sufficient caustic soda, it is good to make soap on a large scale ... and a by-product of soap, glycerin.
