121: Come prepared
Feng Yi sat quietly on the edge of the bed, waiting for Song Yunzhao to fall asleep before getting up and leaving.
He was going to go to court before dawn, and if he stayed overnight in the Forgotten Worry Palace and got up early, she would definitely alarm her, and before leaving, she took away Yun Zhao's booklet full of writing.
It is not enough to rely only on private donations, and the imperial court also has to put grain and money for disaster relief, but the imperial court is not rich, although he is the emperor, but sitting in this position knows that there are many things in the world that make the emperor embarrassed.
Meng Jiuchang has been guarding outside the palace, thinking that the emperor will accompany Song Jieyu to have lunch, how do you know that it is only half an hour before he comes out, he is busy getting up and following up, could it be that the emperor came over just to see Song Jieyu?
This is really a bit incomprehensible, this cold weather, is this glance so important?
Anyway, in Meng Jiuchang's heart, this glance is definitely not as important as the emperor being cold at night.
After Song Yunzhao woke up and found that the pamphlet she had written was missing, she asked the palace to know that the emperor had come, and she was unaware.
"The emperor didn't allow the slave and maid to wake up the master, so the slave didn't dare to call you, and asked the master to forgive the sins." Xiangxue lowered her head and said.
Song Yunzao waved his hand, "You just acted on orders, no wonder you."
"Did the emperor leave any words?" Song Yunzhao asked again.
Xiangxue shook her head, "Not really."
Song Yunzhao didn't know what the emperor meant, anyway, there was no danger, she didn't take it to heart, and the emperor took her pamphlet away, which shows that he should be quite satisfied with her behavior, and he was considerate and didn't allow anyone to alarm her, which was distressing her hard work.
Thinking about it like this, she was immediately satisfied, she didn't ask for a reward for her meritorious service, but the emperor couldn't not know, otherwise she would throw her eyes to the blind man, what did she do in vain.
There is only one point, in such a cold day, if the cotton clothes are only filled with straw and other materials, in fact, the cold resistance effect is not very good, but there is no other way at the moment, the best way to keep warm is naturally animal fur, but this thing is too expensive. Then there is cotton, cotton varieties and yield can not be compared with later generations, the yield is not high, and it is indeed impossible to use cotton to make cotton clothes.
Before cotton was introduced into the Central Plains, cotton clothes were mostly made in winter, and before the Song Dynasty, there was only a cotton word with silk, and there was no cotton word with a wood, and the cotton word began to appear from the "Book of Song".
Although this book is empty, the original author did not reverse the power of time and space to move mountains and seas, and sent the high-quality cotton varieties that have been improved countless times in later generations to this time and space, although there is cotton here, but the yield and varieties are far less than that of later generations, so it is unrealistic for the people to want everyone to wear cotton clothes made of cotton.
Cotton is a cash crop, for the people who can't eat enough, the enthusiasm for planting cotton is not high, until the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang forced the promotion before it was gradually accepted by the working people.
Even if it is kapok, the annual yield of an adult kapok tree is about five to eight kilograms, and with such a low yield, if you want to make cotton clothes from kapok wool, it is not a good thing that everyone can get.
What does it mean to have a weak heart?
Here it is.
Song Yunzhao was a little helpless, she didn't think she was a very kind person, but the world she lived in before was people-oriented, but whenever a major disaster occurred, the country has always been headed by rescuing the people.
So, this kind of thinking is carved into the bones, there is no need to learn, there is no need to teach, because each of them does this, and when you are there, your words and deeds can't help but willingly follow everyone.
That's legacy.
But now in this time and space, although she is Jieyu and the emperor's concubine, there are too few things she can do when she encounters this kind of thing.
Even if you want to recruit embroidery girls, you have to borrow the hand of the right minister, not to mention that she is a little Jieyu, even the emperor is still wrestling with the courtiers, and making a decision may not be 100% smooth.
Song Yunzhao is just a little Jieyu, she may be able to do more, but if she really does, it is very likely to bring disaster to the Song family and herself.
Moreover, even if you really want to do it, you may not be able to do it.
She can't take advantage of the right time and place, so she can only think about some delusions.
Fortunately, although the sky did not clear today, there was no heavy snow last night, and as long as there is no more continuous heavy snow, it will be easy to end this snow disaster.
Thinking that the emperor is worse than her, he wants money and the household is crying poor, and he wants the power of the courtiers, and the emperor has more brains than her who wants disaster relief funds.
Post-disaster reconstruction is also a problem......
Disaster reconstruction?
Song Yunzhao's eyes lit up, yes, this is also an opportunity.
In ancient times, there was no post-disaster reconstruction, and after the people's houses were crushed by snow, they had to find their own way, and even the porridge shacks of the squires and wealthy families would not be supplied all the time.
But the house needs to be rebuilt, the people need rations, where will the money come from? Where does the rice come from?
There's a word called cash-for-work, and she thinks she can learn from it.
But how to implement it, her brain still can't figure out the working mechanism of this time and space, but the general meaning of this can be conveyed to the emperor, and he can rely on his own smart little brain to play.
Song Yunzhao thinks that if the victims can have a job and a little income, at least there will be hope, and people have the strength to live if they have hope.
The right minister above the court and Qin Taifu have formed a trend of secret competition, and the current atmosphere in the harem is also very delicate, and there seems to be a split between the three concubines.
"Concubine Lu invited me to tea?" Song Yunzhao looked at Mama Wen in surprise.
Mama Wen is now much more respectful to Song Jieyu than when Song Jieyu first entered the palace, and said with a smile on her face, "Yes, Niangniang said that it is rare to have a sunny day today, and it is a good weather, so I specially let people make tea to drink with Jieyu."
Song Yunzhao is a little strange, she and Concubine Lu are not friends or enemies now, what are you doing to invite her to tea?
However, in view of the fact that the relationship between the two is not good, but the cooperation is not less, she still decided to take a trip.
In this cold day, even if it is clothed in a big coat, the cold breeze blowing on the face is also a special taste.
Song Yunzhao sat on his shoulder, and Mama Yu followed with Shi Zhu, all the way to Cuiwei Palace.
It was also unfortunate that I met Concubine Zhuang who came out for a walk halfway, and I had to bow down my shoulders to greet her.
"The concubine has seen Concubine Zhuang." Song Yunzhao half-curtsied.
Concubine Zhuang looked at Song Yunzhao, still with a gentle smile on her face, "Song Jieyu, get up, what are you doing on this cold day?"
Concubine Zhuang had the answer in her heart when she saw Mama Wen, but she still asked.
Song Yunzhao smiled very sincerely, "If you go back to Niangniang, Concubine Lu will invite her concubine to drink tea."
She told the truth, but looking at Concubine Zhuang's look, I was afraid that she didn't meet her by chance, she came prepared.
