184: Chapter 184 Zhang Han was amazed once again!

Similar to what he had thought, after merging madder, cinnabar, and indigo, a purple dye could be mixed.

However, as a result, the consumption of madder and cinnabar increased greatly.

But before the chemical synthesis of purple, this could at least solve the bottleneck problem of purple gromwell.

After multiple color adjustments, Zhao Fusu came up with several eye-catching dye color schemes.

He named these color schemes Lava Orange, Meteor Blue, Gulf Blue, Olive Green, Elegant Gray, Sunset Purple, Basalt Gray, Pearl White, and Diamond Black.

He had the workers dye all the finished garments.

"His Majesty the Head of State!"

Looking at these color schemes, Zhang Han couldn't help but praise, "All these colors look so good."

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Fusu laughed.

Indeed!

The classic Diamond Black has a strong sense of low-key luxury and looks incredibly cool.

Pearl White is also a classic color, a pale beige with a slightly warm tone that makes people fall in love at first sight; it is the dream garment of the white-loving crowd.

Lava Orange sparkles in the sunlight, carrying the auspicious meaning of 'orange' representing success!

Meteor Blue, as a fashionable color, is a niche and unique Morandi blue—relatively low-key but also extremely attractive!

Olive Green is dyed from malachite; it is fresh and natural, looking refreshing and elegant.

Gulf Blue is very eye-catching, like the color of seawater in the ocean's gradient layers; wearing a wool sweater in this color will definitely turn heads!

Elegant Gray belongs to the fashion series, with relatively low saturation, sophisticated and restrained, with a faint silver-gray tone!

Sunset Purple is a mixed color; it is just purple, looking very charming. It also belongs to the fashion series, possessing a sense of style and artistry.

Basalt Gray belongs to the luxury series, with a full and textured tone, low-key yet solemn, suitable for business people.

"Zhang Han, next, we will produce one hundred wool sweaters in each of these color schemes. After doing some promotion, we will hold a debut to see the market feedback on these sweaters."

"In terms of price, one will sell for thirty coins!"

Zhao Fusu looked at these bright and dazzling colors.

He was confident these wool sweaters would sell well. But without market testing, he couldn't say for sure they would definitely be a hit.

Ideals are always beautiful, but reality is often harsh.

Hearing this, Zhang Han frowned slightly.

He looked at Zhao Fusu and asked, "His Majesty the Head of State, do you mean to produce a certain number of sweaters first and then sell them?"

"Yes."

Zhao Fusu nodded.

"But..."

Zhang Han's frown deepened.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Fusu said with a smile, "Zhang Han, if you have any concerns, feel free to raise them."

"Understood."

Zhang Han raised his question.

He said, "Everyone's height and weight are different. If the sweaters we make don't fit the customers, what then?"

"Oh, I see."

After hearing Zhang Han say this, Zhao Fusu realized that Zhang Han was worried about this issue.

He said with a smile, "That's very simple."

"Everyone's height and weight are indeed different, but most people's height and weight fall within a certain range."

"We will divide them into different sizes."

"Then, people who come to buy our clothes will find a fit if they wear the right size."

"It can be done that way!"

When Zhang Han heard the logic Zhao Fusu proposed, he was completely blown away.

This method was so conducive to mass production and could greatly reduce costs.

Because he was too excited, his face turned slightly red.

"His Majesty the Head of State, you truly live up to your title!"

"Your intelligence is truly deeper than the sea and higher than the sky!"

Once again, Zhang Han marveled from the bottom of his heart at Zhao Fusu's wisdom.

"You overpraise me, you overpraise me."

Zhao Fusu waved his hands repeatedly; he didn't think it was anything special.

Anyone who has bought clothes online knows what their size is.

When shopping online, one pays extra attention to the size; if you buy clothes that don't fit, returning them is a hassle.

Not all merchants are willing to cover return shipping fees.

Therefore, Zhao Fusu had a very deep memory of sizes, and it definitely wasn't because he had tearfully paid for return shipping.

Zhao Fusu and Zhang Han began to establish the sizes for the clothes.

To better let the buyers know the dimensions of the clothes, it was naturally impossible for Zhao Fusu to use modern sizes.

The units of length in the State of Qin were cun, chi, zhang, and yin. Their conversion relationship was: 1 yin = 10 zhang, 1 zhang = 10 chi, 1 chi = 10 cun.

In the Qin Dynasty, 1 chi was approximately equal to 23.1 cm in modern times. Thus, 1 cun was about 2.31 cm, 1 zhang was about 2.31 m, and 1 yin was about 23.1 m.

It can be seen that in the Qin Dynasty, both length and area were slightly smaller than modern lengths and areas.

Relying on his memory, Zhao Fusu wrote down the international sizes on paper.

"Extra-extra small, XXS, suitable for people with a height of about 150cm, chest circumference of about 76cm, and waist circumference of about 60cm."

"Extra small, XS, suitable for people with a height of about 155cm, chest circumference of about 80cm, and waist circumference of about 64cm."

Zhang Han looked curiously at what Zhao Fusu had written.

simplified chinese characters, plus letters and numbers.

He couldn't understand it at all.

Zhao Fusu ignored Zhang Han and continued writing on the paper.

"Small, S, suitable for people with a height of about 160cm, chest circumference of about 84cm, and waist circumference of about 68cm."

"Medium, M, suitable for people with a height of about 165cm, chest circumference of about 88cm, and waist circumference of about 72cm."

"Large, L, suitable for people with a height of about 170cm, chest circumference of about 92cm, and waist circumference of about 76cm."

"Extra large, XL, suitable for people with a height of about 175cm and a chest circumference of..."

"Extra-extra large, XXL, suitable for people with a height of about 180cm, chest circumference of about 100cm, and waist circumference of about 84cm."

These sizes were actually enough.

However, Zhao Fusu still didn't stop.

Most of the people living in Xianyang City were Northerners.

The ancient climate was colder than modern times; as everyone knows, people in cold places grow taller.

This is because, in a cold environment, the human body needs to maintain body temperature to sustain normal physiological functions.

Tall people with relatively short limbs have a smaller surface area-to-volume ratio, which can reduce heat loss and is more conducive to survival in cold climates.

Through long-term natural selection, populations living in cold regions gradually evolved taller statures.

Therefore, the average height in Xianyang City is relatively high.

People between 1.85 meters and 2 meters are ubiquitous.
