Author: Skyrim Drive

He Yue just scolded: "Talky!" Why doesn't he want to go to the Wind Garden? But Feng Ran doesn't let go, he doesn't dare to go to the Wind Garden anymore if he wants to be Feng Dye again, he must not force Feng Ran to really come naked and be humiliated. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Manager Zhuang is not clear about the situation between himself and Feng Ran, most of them will guess that he deliberately snubbed Feng Ran, so he didn't come to Feng Yuan, so he asked himself, it was for the sake of Feng Ran, and it was also a piece of loyalty to the Lord, he really couldn't blame the Zhuang Manager.

He Yue asked: "Lao Zhuang, tell me again, your son-in-law doesn't do anything except sit in a daze in Rong Yuan?" He thought, if he wants to sit in a daze between the rooms for a long time, he is afraid that he will soon go crazy.

Manager Zhuang hesitated for a moment, and finally told He Yue about the wind dyeing and selling grain storage. The movement of selling goods and storing grain is so big that it can't be hidden, and everyone from all sides is paying close attention to the movements of Fengyuan, but I am afraid that He Yue has already been informed, and now that He Yue has asked, it is better to tell him first and explore He Yue's tone. To sell the treasures that the Prince's Mansion has collected for many years, Manager Zhuang is still empty.

He Yue had indeed received a letter from his subordinates a long time ago, saying that the male pet had sold the valuable collections in the prince's mansion on a large scale, intending to flee with the money, and asked for arrest and investigation. As for the purchase of grain in Fengyuan, it was also mentioned that the minister only said that it was to buy grain as a cover, and the purpose was to try to collect money. He Yue asked: "Oh, you handled this matter single-handedly, and Gongzi didn't interfere?"

"Yes, the money obtained from the sale of the collection is all handled by the villain, and the son is only called the real account, never asking, and there is no possibility of rolling the money. Manager Zhuang kowtowed again and said, "Before the villain was sold, he failed to ask His Majesty for forgiveness in advance. ”

He Yue helped the manager Zhuang up again, and said: "The garden, and the things in the garden, are all given to the son, and the son sells it, so it is sold, and there is no need to come to tell me." I just don't understand, why does your son-in-law need to store grain on a large scale?"

"The villain once asked the son, and the son called the villain not to ask. ”

Selling things to store grain is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter, but He Yue's heart was shocked, and he clearly felt from this act the agitation in his heart from the wind dyeing! What kind of person who is self-imprisoned and waiting for death would sell things on a large scale to store grain? Moreover, rice, sorghum, and other things are not suitable for long-term storage, and the longer they are stored, the worse the taste, the storage is not easy, it is easy to mildew and sprout, and if they are negligent, they will catch fire, and there will be no grain left! Storing grain by wind dyeing is by no means a long-term solution. If Feng Dye makes any moves, I am afraid that it will be launched within one or two years, and after a long time, the three or four years of old grain, no matter how well it is stored, will deteriorate.

Thinking of this, He Yue suddenly felt a little excited, Feng Ran had been hiding by his side for so long, and finally had to make a move! Yes, his Dye has always been a strong man, how could he do that stupid thing of imprisoning himself and waiting for death? However, Manager Zhuang relayed the words of the imperial doctor, saying that Feng Ran only had two or three years to live, and Feng Ran's move was not to arrange for his own future, right? Thinking of this, He Yue couldn't help but mourn in his heart. However, what does Feng Ran want so much food for? It won't be used to deal with himself, right? With Feng Ran's ability, if he really wants to deal with himself, he will never be able to get by! Thinking of this, He Yue couldn't help but be very worried.

He Yue was overjoyed, mourned, and worried, but felt that as soon as he encountered something related to the wind, he was entangled and bored. asked Manager Zhuang that there was nothing to tell him about wind dyeing, so He Yue instructed Manager Zhuang to go back to accompany Feng Dye for the festival.

He Yue sat alone in the imperial study, and the loneliness that penetrated his bones gradually invaded his heart again. In the Wind Garden, there is also a village manager, who knows that Wind Dye is lonely, and pities that Wind Dye has no companion and cannot find anyone to talk to. But in the palace, facing the harem of 3,000 and countless courtiers, how could he not be lonely and lonely?

As an emperor, He Yue must endure everything that ordinary people can't endure, he must hide his personal fragile emotions deeply under the majesty of the emperor, strive to maintain the image of a diligent and loving emperor, and secretly plan how to eliminate dissent, how to straighten out the contradictions between all parties, how to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and how to show his ambitions. Originally, he still had a few degrees of indulgence and relaxation in a month, but ......

He Yue didn't dare to spend too much time to be sentimental, too many government affairs were still waiting for him to deal with, a country that had been inherited for thousands of years, and what his ancestors left him was a mess that was not bad, terminally ill, and a hundred wastes waiting to be revived. He Yue sighed, and as soon as she picked up the fold, she couldn't help but think of Feng Ran's strange act of selling and storing grain, and couldn't help but secretly guess: "Large-scale grain storage only indicates that someone will consume grain on a large scale, and there will be a shortage of grain, will it be a natural disaster?" Although Fengmeng Continent cannot be called smooth this year, there is no large-scale disaster, and natural disasters should be ruled out. In addition to natural disasters, it is man-made disasters, where are man-made disasters?

Although he has the heart to unify Fengmeng, it will be a long time later, Suo Yunguo's national strength is not strong enough, not enough to support him in the war, and his current energy is focused on governing the country and making it strong. Even if it is possible that he will use war to achieve the goal of unifying Fengmeng in the future, he will definitely fight a war on a small scale as much as possible on the basis of stabilizing the rear, how can he launch a war with reckless force until his people have no food to eat?

So, what are you worried about when you store food by wind?

In the court, He Yue was inadvertently inspired by Feng Dye, and began to gradually remove the barriers between the nobles, starting with the most inconspicuous clothing colors, allowing the Shu people to use all colors except bright yellow in their regular clothes, and also allowing the Shu people to use various patterns other than the official uniform patterns to modify the clothing colors, and at the same time abolished a number of strict regulations that strictly distinguished the clothing of the nobles.

He Yue did not expect that before the ban was issued, it was fiercely opposed by the courtiers, saying that the law of the noble family has been passed down since ancient times, and the law of the ancestors cannot be changed. If you are born in the Shu clan, you should keep the duty of the Shu clan, and you should not want to share the privileges of the nobility. Wearing purple and scarlet is a noble privilege that has been handed down and cannot be changed.

This time, He Yue didn't argue with the courtiers much, and directly issued the ban lifting decree. However, in fact, there was no terrible situation in which all the Shu people in the city wore purple and scarlet, and only some of the richer Shu people recently added purple or crimson clothes.

Without waiting for He Yue to speak, the courtiers began to investigate the reason, but it was simply because of dyeing.

The process of extracting dyes from comfrey roots is complicated and fine, and when dyeing purple, it is not easy to color, and it often needs to be dyed more than ten times repeatedly to dye a purple cloth. Therefore, the cost of dyeing is much higher than the cost of fabric. The dyeing workshop often only dyes purple for high-end fabrics such as silk brocade and silk satin, and the cotton cloth and hemp and other fabrics that the people often wear will not be used to dye purple.

There is a difference between crimson and red, crimson refers to a bright bright red, and red refers to a dull light red. Crimson is also a color that is not easy to dye, and it is also a color that is not easy to color on the kudzu, which also needs to be dyed many times to be colored, and the cost of dyeing is also high. Before the ban was lifted, it was not a color that the Shu people could use, and after the ban was lifted, it was not a color that the general Shu people could afford.

After the purple crimson, it is blue, green, blue and other colors, this kind of color, rich in dyes and easy to dye, has become the most commonly worn color of the majority of Shu people. Most of them are the colors worn by the middle and upper class Shu clans, and the lower servants of the general aristocracy and rich families also wear these colors.

After blue-green-blue, it is yellow, and the dye is easy to obtain, which is the easiest color to dye, and the cost is low. Most of them are the colors of the clothes of the low-class laborers.

As far as dyeing is concerned, the least expensive is white, because it does not need to be dyed, also known as plain. White has also become the most common color worn by many poor people. The so-called "white clothes" and "white ding" and other scornful terms also come from this. It's not that it's poor, and no one is willing to wear pure white.

The wind dye has a light temperament and likes to wear white clothes, but the white clothes are embroidered with delicate color patterns, not pure white.

It turned out that the purple crimson color could not be worn by everyone due to the cost of dyeing the color, so the courtiers were relieved, thinking that only a few wealthy concubines could wear the purple crimson color, but in fact, the impact on the nobles was not too great, and there was no need to make trouble with the emperor for this.

The courtiers did not continue to argue with themselves, nor did they continue to demand the repeal of the ban lifting decree, which reassured He Yue. His original intention in lifting the ban was not to ask everyone to wear purple and scarlet, but to break the deep-rooted view of the immutability of the law of nobles that was deeply rooted in the minds of courtiers and the common people. Starting from the color of the clothes, he wants to break and change the difference between the nobles step by step, and finally abolish the nobles that have been circulating in the Fengmeng Continent for thousands of years!

Fengmeng Continent has always been divided into noble clans, called Guishu law. There is no explicit provision for the law of the nobles, but it is just a convention. The law of the nobles is roughly divided into two parts, one of which stipulates the various privileges enjoyed by the nobles, and the other part stipulates the restrictions on the Shu people.

When the children of the nobility reached the age of eighteen, they could receive aristocratic food from the government every year, which was called a regular salary. You can enter the school palace without passing the exam, and after completing your studies, you can become an official, and your official position can be a product.

In addition to the main points of enrollment, admission and promotion, the aristocracy had a wide range of privileges in various aspects such as no taxation in business, no forced labor, and no color dress.

The children of the Shu clan, in order to enter the school palace, have to go through many examinations and selections, and they are crowded with blood, and heavy bribes are repeatedly prohibited. After entering the school palace, you have to go through three years of elimination, and finally you can become an official, and to be an official, you can only achieve the highest five-grade official rank.

He Yue just felt that if he asked Mr. Zhuang to be an official, he could only achieve the rank of a fifth-grade official at most, and he was really condescending, so it was better to be the manager of Fengyuan, so that he could show his talents and contribute more to himself.
