Chapter 445: Is This Control?
Liu Paner prepared ten catties of various colored wool and six sweaters, and took them to Liang Baogong's house next door to Pingkangfang's house. One of the sweaters and pants was made according to Liang Bao's figure.
Liang Bao got the news the next day and asked someone to bring things in.
Father-in-law Liang saw the sweater inside and found him, light brown, wearing it on his body, it was really warm.
Such a good thing, of course, should be tried for the queen mother and Her Majesty.
However, these things cannot be taken to the queen and Her Majesty at will, and after Liang Gonggong asked the imperial doctor to carefully examine them, he confirmed that they were correct before giving them to the queen mother.
Empress Zhao was curious, feeling soft and warm in her hand, "Father-in-law Liang, is this something newly made by Mrs. Derui?" ”
Gonggong Liang replied respectfully: "Queen Mother, the slave has already put it on, it is very warm, and it is light and not bloated." In addition, Mrs. Dre also said that this yarn can also be related to whether the Great Zhou can decide the life and death of the countries and tribes in the west and north in the future. ”
"Huh?" Empress Zhao was stunned for a moment, quite puzzled, "Isn't this a wool made of wool and a sweater woven into wool?" And so big? ”
Father-in-law Liang smiled, "Queen Mother, since Mrs. Derui said so, there must be a reason for her." It just so happens that His Majesty will rest tomorrow, and when Mrs. Xuanderui enters the palace and asks clearly. ”
Empress Zhao also felt that Liang's suggestion was very good, this Mrs. Derui was no one else, and it could be said that farming was accidental, but the hydroelectric oil mill and mill, and now there are woolen sweaters, such ingenuity is not for everyone.
Perhaps this Mrs. Dre did have a more unexpected approach?
"Okay, this palace will send someone to the Qi family, Mrs. Xuanderui will enter the palace tomorrow, and then Gonggong Liang will bring His Majesty over, and this palace will listen to His Majesty together." Empress Zhao smiled and nodded, feeling a little more curious about Mrs. Drey.
After Liu Pan'er got the message, she began to prepare the things she needed to enter the palace tomorrow.
The Qi family learned that Liu Pan'er was going to enter the palace tomorrow, and they also sent someone to congratulate them. Now they gradually realize that Liu Paner is really extraordinary, what she wants to do, she can do it, and she can be decent in front of His Majesty and the Empress.
This time, the woolen yarn and sweater are not only good-looking, but also warm, and there is a lot to be done.
The next day, Liu Paner brought her drawings, the finished spinning machine and carding machine, and another ten catties of wool into the palace together.
Father-in-law Liang personally came over to greet him, and asked the attendants behind him to help carry it.
"Mrs. Drey, how did you think of handling this wool?" Father-in-law Liang chuckled, and his tone was brisk, as if he was chatting with Liu Pan'er about family life.
Liu Pan'er smiled, "Actually, I have selfish intentions in doing this, I hope that our Da Zhou can have a way to control the surrounding areas, especially those nomadic countries that want to commit crimes at every turn." As a result, those countries have to rely on our Great Zhou, so that they will not dare to start a war easily. If there is less war, my husband will be able to go home more to watch. ”
When Gonggong Liang heard this, he smiled in surprise, he was selfish, but he was doing things with a public heart, "Congratulations to Mrs. Derui, Your Majesty has issued an order, and General Li will soon return to Beijing to report on his work." ”
Liu Paner's eyes lit up, and her face was happy, "Great, my child and I miss our husband." ”
Liu Paner's bright attitude and words are the most appreciated by Liang's father-in-law, and he will say it when he has something to say, and he will always hide and hide it, which is the most lacking quality in the palace.
The people in the palace talked, going around in circles; The chef in the palace cooks delicious food, but sometimes he can't guess what it's made of, and in order to be delicious, the taste of the original ingredients has been obscured; The imperial doctors in the palace see patients and prescribe precious medicinal materials, but sometimes they are not necessary.
Father-in-law Liang didn't ask much, because it involved national affairs, and it was inconvenient for him to say more to Liu Paner. Along the way, he talked to Liu Paner about the children at home.
The journey was easy to the queen's palace.
Liang Gonggong went in to spread the word, and after a while, he heard the voice of Xuan meeting Liu Paner.
After Liu Pan'er entered, she saw His Majesty and the Queen Mother, wearing regular clothes, sitting quite relaxed.
She saluted respectfully, "Knock to see the emperor, the queen." ”
Emperor Zhou Ping smiled and stretched out his hand to help, "Mrs. Derui is exempt, the sweater is good, I and the queen wore it today, it is really warm, it is a good thing." ”
Liu Paner didn't expect Emperor Zhou Ping and the Empress to wear them, and after getting up, she replied softly: "Your Majesty and Niangniang like it, and the courtiers also wear it, this late autumn is not so cold." ”
Empress Zhao smiled, "Give me a seat, Mrs. Derui is sitting and talking." ”
Liu Paner thanked, "Thank you Queen Mother." ”
After Liu Pan'er sat down, Emperor Zhou Ping asked again: "Mrs. asked Liang Bao to bring a message before, saying that these woolen threads can control the nomadic countries and tribes in the north and northwest, can Mrs. make it clear?" ”
Liu Pan'er stood up again and bowed, "The courtiers are a little foolish, but it is just a matter of the national policy of the Great Zhou, and the courtiers dare not discuss it." At first, the courtiers only thought about themselves, but slowly thought about it too much, and felt that it was useful, so they dared to talk to His Majesty. If there is anything inappropriate, please also ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to atone for their sins. ”
Emperor Zhou Ping smiled, "Lady Derui doesn't need to be so alarmed, the high-yield crops and improved varieties you discovered and cultivated before have already been related to the national policy. Madame is wise, I have granted you the right to discuss politics. Please also ask Mrs. to know everything, say everything, by the way, of course, the best, is the blessing of the Great Zhou; If it's wrong, it doesn't matter, just small talk. ”
Hearing Emperor Zhou Ping say this, but Liu Paner didn't dare to take it seriously, the emperor was cautious, but Liu Paner was not nervous.
I had already thought about the draft before, and now I said all these words in front of Emperor Zhou Ping and Empress Zhao.
"Back to Your Majesty, Queen Mother. The courtiers thought about how to use the things of the steppe countries and tribes to control their economic lifeline. Before the husband, he said that the grassland people raise more horses, so there are many war horses, and the combat effectiveness is also strong, and when they burn and loot, they are also more fierce. The courtiers thought about how to let them raise fewer horses and more cattle and sheep. Cattle can plough the land and eat meat, and the same is true for sheep, which still have wool on them. The wool blanket at home is very expensive, and a small piece costs dozens of taels of silver. ”
"If we can buy a huge amount of wool in Dazhou, more and more people will raise wool. We can spun wool yarn from wool to make sweaters and blankets. If wool could be sold for money, and for more and more money, they would raise more sheep and fewer horses. Wool is like crops, stubble after crop, a sheep can cut wool once a year, and an adult sheep can cut more wool. ”
When Emperor Zhou Ping heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, "Wool and mutton can be sold for money, so that they can become rich, wouldn't it make those grassland peoples live better?" Is this control? ”
