Chapter 683: The Lazy Man's Mobility
After the discussion was completed, several people went their separate ways.
This matter is also casual in the eyes of people like Yan Shiyue and Meng Yiqiu, and in the eyes of people like the queen and Qu Sinian, it is definitely a sharp weapon, and the capital is boiling for a while.
Two days later, the four princes arrived at the Guogong Mansion.
Yan Shiyue and Sun Wuniang were stepping on a sewing machine to make clothes.
One of her is to be familiar with the machine, and the other is mainly to play, she has made several belly pockets for the two little ones, and made underwear for Huo Qijing, and asked the ready-to-wear lady to cut it, she just sewed it up, in fact, it was quite simple, it was a little trouble at the corners.
As soon as the fourth prince came in, he saw it, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and asked, "Are you looking for someone here?" What kind of person are you looking for, and I'll help you find it? ”
"No need," Yan Shiyue lowered her head and stepped on it, and replied casually: "It's not important to give it to them to play, besides, I want it to look good, I definitely can't look at what you're looking for." ”
The fourth prince was speechless and said, "What do you want to do, you have to look good." ”
"You'll know then," she said. ”
The fourth prince looked at it twice: "You get up, I'll try." ”
"No way!" Yan Shiyue said: "I am for Ah Jing, this is my heart!" When I'm done with this, you'll do it again! ”
Sun Wuniang silently let go: "Fourth master, do you want me to do this." ”
The fourth prince is very research-oriented, so he really went over and sat down, Wei Xin stepped forward to teach him, the fourth prince looked very smart, but as soon as he got started, his fingers were as if he couldn't bend, and he was stupid.
Yan Shiyue couldn't laugh: "Hurry up!" Tell them to bring a set of fabric for the skirt! Tell the fourth brother to do it! It's done and sent to let the fourth sister-in-law wear it! ”
The people in this room are the only ones who look at her, and they immediately took a set over, and the four princes did not refuse, so they stepped on it seriously, Yan Shiyue smiled no, and when he pushed his hand, the line was crooked, so he could only dismantle and rewire it again.
When she thought she had mastered her hands, she made two sets of regular clothes for Huo Qiyang and Xu Wenqu, and then thought about the appearance of the flying fish suit, and asked the ready-to-wear lady to plant it into a troll, and tried it twice before making it, the color of black and silver, it looks good to make.
So a few days later, before the begging festival, everyone in the palace received a large pile of clothes.
The emperor received it from the queen, Yan Shiyue did it, and he also received it from the four princes.
The crown prince received what the crown princess did, as well as what the queen did.
Emperor Ming Yan, as the emperor and a big man, this is the first time he has noticed the problem of stitches.
He asked someone to take out the previous clothes and this time, and compared them with the prince carefully, you know, the emperor's clothes must be made by high masters, and the stitches are definitely thin and even, and the difference is not big.
It wasn't until Huo Qijing came that Emperor Ming Yan was a little shocked.
Because the prince asked: "Yue'er didn't make clothes for you?" ”
Huo Qijing said: "I made a few sets." ”
The prince was surprised: "How many sets?" ”
Huo Qijing said: "Four or five sets of underwear, two sets of outer robes, two sets of Ayang, two sets of Mr. Xu, and some are made for children." ”
The prince was surprised: "She did it all?" ”
Huo Qijing nodded.
Emperor Ming Yan and the crown prince glanced at each other, and immediately deeply felt the efficiency of this thing: "If Yue'er can do so much, how much can a skilled embroiderer do?" ”
The prince said: "If you don't embroider, won't you be able to make several sets a day?" ”
Emperor Ming Yan nodded: "Even Shiro can do it, it can be seen that it is easy to get started!" No wonder Yue'er said that she couldn't let go of the workshop to buy it, otherwise, it wouldn't be a good thing to go too fast. ”
There are a series of problems in the middle, the surplus of labor, the shortage of raw materials, the saturation of the market, if you do not control the balance, it is indeed easy to mess up.
But her main goal is the family, which is much better, because the small rich family is fine, and the rich family, even if they have this, they will still buy clothes outside.
Two days later, Huo Qijing received another finely made imitation flying fish suit, including belts, boots, and tiaras, which he wanted to wear on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, and also brought a letter to Emperor Ming Yan.
Huo Qijing sent the letter to Emperor Ming Yan in the past, and asked not to wear official robes on the day of Qixi Festival, and Emperor Ming Yan waved his hand and agreed.
Yan Shiyue's letter mainly said such a thing.
In order to make up for the promotion of looms and sewing machines, in the way of the Ministry of Commerce, they bought seeds such as cotton, hemp, ramie, and kudzu, including silkworms, and gave them to the people to plant, and then signed a deed, and after the harvest, in addition to repaying the new seeds, they had to sell them cheaply according to a certain percentage, and then the rest was sold to them at the market price first.
You must know that in the countryside, there is a lot of surplus manpower, and there are many things that a family has no land to plant, so that these people can move.
But this matter cannot be done in the name of the Ministry of Commerce alone.
Because there must be a certain proportion of these plantings, you can't plant food alone! Therefore, there must be the intervention and trade-off of the imperial court, and at the same time, the encouragement of land reclamation must be increased, so that the land can be fully utilized.
But the imperial court can't do this kind of thing blindly, because the seeds don't cost money, they can only be used for the promotion period, no matter what time it is, it is a temporary policy, and if it is done for a long time, it will spoil people.
That's why we need an opportunity.
Emperor Ming Yan frowned and pondered.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Begging Festival, and the virtuous concubine took the relatives of the palace to dry books and clothes, which was also lively.
When the moon rises in the evening, he will take people to beg.
In fact, it is to make a basin of water, bask in the sun during the day, and then at night, put a needle in the water, if the hand is heavy, the needle sinks, then needless to say that it is a clumsy one, it must be a joke, and if the needle does not sink, it depends on its reflection at the bottom of the water, into what shape, such as shoes, vases, and even small animals, that is a coincidence.
You can also use colorful silk threads to thread nine-hole needles, and if you can pass through, then you are really a clever lady.
Concubine Xian's needlework is very good, this time, she passed it all at once, and the palace maid next to her immediately said: "Congratulations to the mother!" ”
The people next to him complimented one after another, and Concubine Xian couldn't help but smile on her face.
After a little silence, he listened: "I don't know what the sewing machine in the palace looks like." ”
"I heard that His Royal Highness has never used needlework and thread, and he can make several sets of clothes a day!"
"I heard that even the fourth master can make clothes!"
Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Yes, Shiro also made a set for the main palace, and the main palace dislikes it and doesn't even have a trick, and he hasn't gotten on it yet." ”
Originally, this was similar to the show-off of "my child is not a big deal in the top exam", but this time, everyone didn't find the point: "Won't it?" I saw Lord Xiao Huo yesterday, and I had the courage to take a look, the stitches are thin, and they are better than the best ready-to-wear girls! ”
"Speaking of Master Xiao Huo, have you seen Grandpa Guo's body today? It's really spiritual! ”
"I heard that His Highness made it himself!"
Many of them are women, many of them are old, so there is nothing to shy away from talking about.
The key is that Huo Qijing usually wears official robes, and at first glance he changed into an imitation flying fish suit made by Yan Shiyue, with a strong waist, a flowing hem, and a sassy appearance in his might.
