"Sketching is an easy-to-get started, difficult to learn painting method, compared with the Danqing painting method that focuses on artistic conception and charm, sketching focuses on realism, and uses realistic means to vividly express the shape, structure, dynamics and space of all things in the world."

At the end of the morning of the day, Yang Tong, who was dressed in regular clothes, explained the sketching skills to his eldest daughter Yang Xifang in the Cai Silk Palace, of course, this is just incidental, what he is really doing is to draw the peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, corn, tomatoes, spinach, cocoa, onions, artichokes, lettuce, carrots, papayas, cabbage, strawberries, sweet potatoes, sunflowers, peanuts, pineapples, figs, apples and other fruits and vegetables that the Great Sui does not have. With a good color, I will give Ya Danqing, the eldest grandson Wujian, Lu Qinghua, and Xiao Yuexian, who are good at sketching, 'copy'.

These color sketches were prepared for Zhou Shaozu, who asked for sailing, and Zhou Shaozu's adventurous navigation instructions, Yang Tong had already agreed, and asked this fleet to prepare for sailing, and at the same time let Zhou Shaozu and the main generals come to Daxing for training and accept tasks.

Yang Tong agreed to their request, but he couldn't go and go back, so he had to bring some crop seeds from the American continent back.

Although Yang Tong doesn't know whether all the fruits and vegetables he painted are native to the American continent, it is always good to be prepared. Not to mention that all of them were found, but as long as they found corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, the population of the Great Sui would not starve to death because of natural disasters, and usher in a super explosion, and the Central Plains ethnic groups would also spontaneously and voluntarily develop outward because of the large population, and conquer, develop, and control this continent step by step.

"Father!" At this time, Yang Xifang asked again: "What is realism, what is form, structure, dynamics, and space?" ”

"Realism means that real objects are written in a real way, without adding no artistic components in themselves; As for the form, structure, dynamics, and space, it can be called three-dimensional. You see that my father drew a corn cob, which was obviously a piece of paper, but after drawing the shaded part, it looked like the real corn was placed on it. If you don't draw the shadow part, then the painting is still a painting, and it doesn't look like a real object. Anything that can be drawn on paper is the same, as long as you draw a layered three-dimensional feeling, you can draw this object to life. ”

Yang Tong pointed to the sandalwood incense burner on the side, and said in detail: "Just like this incense burner, what you can see is only the front of it, and the place you can't see is the dark side." Its front is easy to draw, and the key to sketching is to draw its dark side through other means, and the combination of light and dark has a sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality. ”

Yang Tong didn't know whether it was right or not, so he could only say it according to his own understanding, and his daughter was still young, so he didn't expect her to understand.

And the eldest grandson Wujian, Lu Qinghua, Xiao Yuexian, Yang Tong actually doesn't teach much, but they have high painting skills, and when they see Yang Tong paint a few more times, they slowly learn it, as for why, they don't say why.

Yang Xifang naturally didn't understand, and wanted to ask again, but when he saw his father start painting, he didn't have time to pay attention to himself, so he picked up Luo Dai to color a plum leaf on the 'sketchbook'.

Luo Dai was very soft, which made Yang Xifang's hands dirty.

"Fang'er, don't draw leaves..."Yang Xifang played like this, and Lu Qinghua was distressed.

Yang Tong said: "The child likes to draw, so let her draw well, what do you care about her?" ”

"She paints anything else, of course I don't care; The problem is that she plays with Luodai. Lu Qinghua said.

"So what?"

"Husband, Luo Dai is too expensive!"

"Fang'er don't care about her, your father is not bad for money. When we're done, let's buy it. Yang Tong comforted his daughter who was almost in tears.

Lu Qinghua glanced at Yang Tong angrily, and quoted directly, "A dragon's eye sized snail is worth fifteen Yan gold coins." ”

"I'm dying every day, so expensive?" Yang Tong looked at the strip-shaped snail in his hand wrapped in a layer of paper in disbelief.

Lu Qinghua nodded: "It's so expensive." ”

"Money doesn't necessarily buy it." Xiao Yuexian said slowly.

Yang Tong was even more shocked, these days he painted crops whenever he was free, colored the leaves of crops, and used fifty or sixty snails, if you add three wives to use them, it cost more than a thousand taels, the person who made this snail is simply robbing money, no, faster than robbing money.

He asked, "Whose item is this?" ”

Lu Qinghua said: "Luo Dai is a thrush thing that came from Persia, and it is deeply liked by rich and noble women. ”

Yang Tong is even more unpleasant in his heart, he knows that the women of later generations will contribute hundreds of billions to the cosmetics industry of the stick country every year, and he can't imagine that in his Great Sui Dynasty, it will be even more exaggerated, if Hu Shang brings a hundred catties of snails at one time, all the original goods in Daxing City are not enough to change people's things.

At this moment, Wei Fengwu came in wearing a dark green cotton coat, Yang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and asked, "Xiao Wu, where did you get this dress?" ”

Wei Fengwu glanced at him, "How can a man stare at his daughter-in-law's clothes?" ”

"I just think the color of your clothes is exactly the same as the color drawn by Luo Dai!"

"So what?" Everyone looked at Yang Tong strangely.

Yang Tong pondered for a while and said, "Since we have dyed the fabric of the color of Luodai, we can theoretically make Luodai." If domestic snails are all over the world, Hu Shang will not be able to exchange less than a pound of snails for dozens of our cars. In order to get so many goods in the future, you must either bring the same amount of goods or buy them with enough gold. Otherwise, we would have lost a lot. ”

"Why did you suddenly get involved with Hu Shang?" Wei Fengwu didn't know what to do.

"Eldest sister, it's like this......" Lu Qinghua was angry and funny, and told Wei Fengwu the reason.

"You don't understand!" Yang Tong shook his head and said solemnly: "The price of Luo Dai in Persia may only be fifteen yuan, but when it comes to the Great Sui, it was sold for fifteen taels of gold, this huge price difference is not only the profit of Hu Shang, but also the silk and porcelain that my people of the Great Sui have worked so hard to make, if their transportation capacity is enough, they only need tens of thousands of catties of snails to buy all the money in the Great Sui, which is enough for their entire country to enjoy for a few years, and when they are finished, they use tens of thousands of catties of snails to hollow out the Great Sui goods, and so on, then the wealth of my Great Sui is not only hollowed out, The people were still their poor slaves. ”

Wei Fengwu and the others also heard that Hu Shang came simply every time, and dozens of cars were taken away, if it was according to Yang Tong's algorithm, and aside from the problem of long distances, Da Sui was indeed in danger of being made into a poor egg by Luo Dai.

"Husband, what should I do?" Wei Fengwu's sense of crisis has risen.

"If the specialties of the Hu people are all over the world in the Great Sui, they can't sell them for a few dollars, and even if they make a little, they will lose money on the long road, and then we will use their lack of Central Plains specialties to earn their wealth and make them our slaves. Say, where did you get these clothes? ”

"The Shaofu Supervisor is in charge of the hundred crafts, and the palace service dyes are of course also developed by the Shaofu Supervisor!" Wei Fengwu said.

Yang Tong suddenly said: "No wonder I was under the order of the young eunuch, and the endless tailor rolled in... It turns out that the young superintendent is even in charge of trivial matters..."

Wei Fengwu retorted: "The palace service represents the face of the heavenly family and the face of the Great Sui, this is not a trivial matter. ”

"You continue to paint...... Yang Tong picked up the scissors, cut a piece of cloth from the hem of Wei Fengwu's clothes, and took another box of snails, and hurried to the Shaofu Prison under the angry gaze of the queen.

When he heard that Yang Tong was looking for dark green pigments, he took Yang Tong to the warehouse where the dye was displayed, and according to the color of the cloth, he quickly found an area with more than a dozen large vat of dye powder, and said: "Holy Lord, the dye you are looking for is here." ”

"What is this made of?"

"This is woad, wood blue, indigo made of pigments, the method is very simple, is to collect the stems and leaves of these three plants in autumn, soak them in water, until the leaves rot, when the leaves fall off the skin, remove the stems and leaves of the stems, branches and leaves, add an appropriate amount of lime and stir fully, until the stems and leaves turn from dark green to dark red, take out the liquid surface foam, dry and grind the end, at this time the woad is called Qingdai, in addition to this production process, it will also be made by soaking, fermentation, indigo, delicate, water flying and other steps. This is an ancient craft that has long been passed down among the people. ”

"It's been circulated among the people?" Yang Tong's face was dark, and he used so many snails to paint, and he also knew that the reason why the snails were soft was because of oil, and if these green daisy powders were mixed into mud and kneaded into the size of longan with vegetable oil, then enough to buy countless snails in Daxing City was born.

But the green daisy powder that the people already have, has not developed further, and let Hu Shang earn gold for so many years in vain, I really don't know why the brains of the ancients were so stiff.

"Yes!"

"Give me ten catties of indigo, ten catties of the most fragrant flower oil! By the way, come to the altar alcohol. ”

"Whoa." He Hou hurriedly asked people to prepare.

As early as the period of Emperor Wen, the Great Sui was engaged in reverse technology research, and the most representative figure was He Chou.

At the beginning, Persia offered gold cotton brocade robes, carpets and other special textiles, the weaving was very gorgeous, and the items he imitated were more exquisite and cheaper than the originals; There is also the craft of making glaze in the Central Plains has been lost for a long time, He Chou once again carried out reverse technical research on foreign things, and the artificial products are no different from natural glaze, so He Chou was named Yang Jian as a loose rider.

He has now researched low-cost glass of various colors, and the glass artwork poured out of molds has made Great Sui a lot of money from Hu Shang.

After the perennial cottage of the Great Sui craftsmen, and Yang Tong behind the scenes, the products that Hu Shang can make money from the Great Sui are actually pitiful, and this Luo Dai is obviously one of them.

Luo Dai's money, Yang Tong decided to earn it.

Once a large number of copycat luodai hit the market, see what those Hu merchants take to make the gold of the Great Sui.

Waiting for the things to be ready, Yang Tong hurriedly ran back to the Caisi Hall with the Shura Wei who was carrying things, and then blasted the outsiders away, under the surprised eyes of his wife and daughter, he personally made a large pot of snails full of osmanthus fragrance, because he added an appropriate amount of alcohol, when he rubbed out a piece of snails, it quickly hardened and formed.

"Try it."

Yang Tong calmly washed his hands.

Wei Fengwu took a small dip in water and drew it on the paper with chopsticks, and the color that came out was exactly the same as that of Persian Luodai, she was surprised: "It's exactly the same, and there is a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian, Lu Qinghua, and Xiao Yuexian looked at Yang Tong, their red lips slightly opened, and they felt incredulous.

After going out for less than two moments, he came back and 'transformed' a large pot of priceless snails.

It's amazing!

"Fang'er, Qingdai is no longer valuable, you just have to paint the leaves in the future, and your mother won't scold you."

"Thank you, Father!" Yang Xifang, who was cleaned up by her mother, smiled sweetly.

“……”

The women looked at each other!

It seems that the previous impassioned rhetoric was just incidental, and it was the intention to let her daughter draw leaves without being scolded?

"What kind of powder is this?" Wei Fengwu was a little curious.

"The indigo powder extracted from the branches and leaves of woad, the dark green cloth is dyed by it, and I mix and stir it with osmanthus oil to make this pot."

"That's it?"

"Is it?"

"Then we can make a lot of money again?" Wei Fengwu looked excited, just like a bouncing young girl, how could she have the appearance of a mother in the world and a mother of people?

The years are very gentle to her, even if a few years have passed, but she still has no traces of time, just like the original young girl, her complexion is white and tender, as if she can drip water.

Of course, she is actually not very old, and in later generations, she is at most a youthful college student.

"Are you bad for money......"

"It's not bad, but it's fun to divide the money!" The gold and silver sent from the Wa Kingdom have already piled up Yang Dong's personal treasure house, Ziwei Palace Xuanwu City, into a sea of gold and silver, plus Yang Tong is very generous to his wife, and their sisters are naturally not short of money, but just enjoy the happiness of dividends.

Yang Tong asked with a smile: "How many 'Youfeng Laiyi' jewelry stores have you partnered to open?" ”

"Luoyang, Daxing, Yecheng, Zhuojun, and Taiyuan each have one."

"The women in the store are all as beautiful as flowers, with elegant temperament, more like everyone else's girlfriends, where did they find them?"

"It's the palace maid who was dismissed when she reached her age!"

"No wonder." Yang Tong nodded, it is actually good for the imperial family to have their own property, lest they be so poor that they can't even take out the 100,000 taels of silver for the year-end state banquet like Mingshenzong, so they have to borrow money from the household department in charge of national finance. However, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, actually refused.

is also a person who is the emperor, Yang Tong empathized with Mingshenzong's mood at that time, he pointed to the pot of green daisy and said, "I will take it to your partner store and sell it in the future." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Thanks." Wei Fengwu, eldest grandson Wuji, Lu Qinghua, and Xiao Yuexian thanked each other happily.

"You make it the same size, and then sell a silver coin one by one, seize the local market with the advantage of good quality and low price, if there is still Persian Luo Dai in half a year, you will reduce the price, you must use the advantage of good quality and low price, so that Persian Luo Dai can not stand in my Dasui market, and force those Hu merchants to pay money to buy our goods, instead of exchanging luxury things for our daily products."

"Whoa."
