Chapter 40

Regarding the details of the mountain gods, water gods and ghosts, Yin Ji wrote five silk silks, which can be described as no matter how big or small. Because she knew that Yin Changying was most concerned about the affairs of "Wu".

Then, on the last silk paper, Yin Cheng wrote that in her spare time dealing with the matter, she also made some novelties that would be beneficial to the people.

For example, waterwheels that can make water sources more favorable for irrigating farmland; Another example is a stone mill that can easily crush grains to make them husk, and even grind wheat and beans into powder; Another example is a jacquard machine based on warp and weft, which is operated by two people to spin brocade together.

As for the method of raising fish in rice fields, because most of the land of Zhao is not suitable for growing rice, she just casually mentioned one or two sentences.

Yin Ji asked in the letter, do you want to find a reason for these inventions and creations now to let Liu He send someone back, or will she send them back after Yin Changying is in power?

Yin Changying put down all six silk silks, and Zheng Gao immediately stepped forward to sharpen the ink with great interest.

It didn't take long for the witchcraft-driven bird to flutter its wings and fly high over the Zhaowang Palace, all the way over thousands of mountains and rivers, and fly towards Minjun in the southwest.

At this time, Minjun is very different from a year ago.

The thousands of acres of land in the south of Annan County have all been turned over, and the rice will be planted only half a month later. Around Qiangshui and its newly opened tributary, Luoshui, dozens of large bamboo waterwheels and rows of hydraulic mills have been erected.

The water is carrying the waterwheel, day and night, and is hulling the grain.

On the western side of Annam County, a large row of houses was also built, which were the silkworm chamber and the zhifang – the former was used to raise silkworms, and the latter was used to raise mushrooms.

As for the north of Annan County, there is a granary, and there is a weaving room, and the weavers sent by the Shaofu teach dexterous women how to weave exquisite brocade.

And since the establishment of the weaving room for more than half a year, the best woven brocade has been placed in front of Yin Hui.

The background color of this brocade is the purest black, but the three colors of yellow, red and blue are used to draw a lifelike phoenix, set off its flowers, and weave the clouds with the most elegant white.

The moment the weaver lifted the cloth wrapped in brocade, the well-trained palace people couldn't help but gasp, and Biao Wanzi and Sun Boji were even more stunned on the spot.

Because they had never seen such a beautiful brocade, it seemed to glow.

Even Liu He, who was invited over, was in a trance for a moment, but the man, the resistance to these is higher, and he quickly came back to his senses, but he knew that any woman would go crazy for this brocade!

Among the people present, only Yin Ji had no special reaction.

She had seen a lot of good things in her previous life, so she valued the meaning of this brocade more seriously.

In this era when the color of clothing and the way of wearing it represent etiquette and orthodoxy, and cannot be deviated in the slightest, people take "blue, yellow, red, white, and black" as the five positive colors, and the others are all intermediate colors. The clothes of the royal family and ministers are generally between the top and bottom, the main color is the main color, and the color is supplemented.

But it is actually very difficult to dye pure colors, because vegetable dyes are not like industrial dyes, and what comes out of the assembly line is always a template. Artificial extraction of dyes, artificial printing and dyeing, there will always be deviations, the middle color is the majority, the positive color is more difficult to dye, it is precious.

If it weren't for the fact that he was famous for the Minjun brocade in one fell swoop, Yin Ji would not have been so troublesome at all.

Of course, when she issued this order, the people below understood it and thought that she wanted to enjoy herself. Who knew that Yin Ji's first sentence was: "In more than 60 days, it will be the birth of the queen mother." ”

In an instant, everyone's faces changed.

Liu He hesitated, but still asked: "The princess wants to present this brocade as a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager Song?" ”

Yin Ji bowed her head lightly: "Exactly." ”

That's a big deal!

Of course, Liu He can't accuse the princess of being filial, thinking about her biological mother, and giving the best things to each other, which is filial piety and political correctness.

But who is the Empress Dowager Song, even if Liu He is in Minjun, he has heard countless rumors. So he knew very well that once this brocade was sent, even if it would be rewarded for a while, the Empress Dowager Song would definitely send someone over and continue to ask Minjun for better brocade, at least it couldn't be worse than this one!

That's terrible!

What if they don't make something better? The superior doesn't care what you think, if you can't take out what she wants, then you will die!

And this brocade, it took them two months to weave. What if the Empress Dowager Song asked for more, but they couldn't get enough of it?

"Uncle Fang doesn't need to worry." Yin Ji said lightly, "I have my own measure. ”

Of course, she also thought of this, so she wanted to find a reason to give this brocade to him as a birthday gift for Yin Changying, along with many brocades.

As for whether Yin Changying is assigned to a certain queen mother, or a certain concubine, it's up to him, anyway, Yin Changying just wants a star demonstration role.

Just imagine, if the Empress Dowager Zhaoguo, or a certain favorite concubine of Yin Changying, suddenly wears this dress made of brocade, which is glamorous and cannot be forced to look at, what will other women think? Of course, I have to ask where this brocade came from! For those concubines and ladies, others have it, but I don't, can I bear it?

When they heard that it was from Minjun, the merchants would immediately rush to Minjun at any cost to buy a slightly inferior brocade with bright colors and complex patterns.

Because they know that these brocades are money, enough to turn into a thousand gold!

If at that time, Liu He told them that the output of brocade was limited, because there were not enough weavers. And between the lines, he revealed that he wanted to expand production and meet the needs of the royal family, but no one was depressed?

There is no doubt that the merchants will definitely use the fastest speed to bring a large number of ingenious women to Minjun, just to curry favor with Liuhe and obtain the supply channel of brocade.

But Yin Changying's reply gave Yin Cheng new inspiration.

He told Yin Cheng that there was an extra male pet pretending to be a eunuch by the side of the Empress Dowager Song, and Yin Changying found that the "qi" on this person was similar to the monster back then.

Yin Changying thought that this guy was tired, so he didn't move, so as not to startle the snake and cut off the clues. Yin Ji just mentioned "ghosts", which inspired Yin Changying, thinking that this person may be no different from ghosts. And he also found that Chang Anjun has a favorite concubine by his side, which is also equivalent to this male pet.

In the letter, Yin Changying also mentioned that the Empress Dowager Song has been secretly married recently, but the time is still short, if it is not for Yin Changying is a "witch", I am afraid that she will not be able to see through it at a glance.

When Yin Ji saw this, she was shocked.

Chang'an Jun and Yin Changying have the same half-mother, if the child of the Empress Dowager Song is born, she will have the same half-mother as Yin Changying. What is the monster going to do when he gathers the children of Yin Changying's parents' bloodline?
