Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four major things that are closely related to the people.

Here in the Han Dynasty, food and clothing come from the soil.

Li Yunze went out of the city and came to the fields outside the city, and saw that the working Qianshou had clothes on them, and nodded with satisfaction, "This place is rich." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military people behind him also smiled.

This is an affirmation of them.

In ancient times, when productivity was low, the primitive standard of living and the lack of materials were beyond the imagination of modern people.

When the family was poor, they didn't even have clothes, so they could only go out to farm quietly at night, for fear of being seen by others.

For example, at this time, the Qiantou in the fields outside Lunu City can have clothes on their bodies and work during the day, which is really good.

Of course, it's likely that it's closer to Lunu City, and it's been notified in advance.

After all, it's a thousand-year-old tradition, and everyone who understands it understands it.

Li Yunze walked into the ridge very simply, squatted down and carefully inspected the crops in the field.

As far as you can see, the main crops are corn, mixed with wheat, and even some fields near the river are planted with rice.

It is not surprising that rice is grown so close to the north, as it is possible to grow rice in this era when the precipitation line moves north and the temperature rises.

In addition, there are ramie, hemp, flax and other hemp stalk crops.

And ramie is the main source of clothing for the Qianshou.

It is true that with the northward shift of the precipitation line and the increase in temperature, even here in Zhongshan Country, the Qianshou family also planted mulberry trees to breed silkworms.

But the silk fabrics produced by the silkworms are important tax-paying materials and daily necessities.

This kind of thing is grown by the Qianshou, but it is not consumed by them.

The Qianshou spun the stem and bark fibers of the hemp stem into linen cloth after special production, and the dense linen fabrics were made into autumn and winter clothing, and the sparse linen fabrics were used as summer clothes.

It is made of ramie and is called kudzu cloth, not to mention that the color is not good-looking, and it is not comfortable to wear on the body.

But in this era of low productivity, that's it.

After watching for a while, Li Yunze got up and walked to a house not far away.

The family's yard is not small, with more than 20 mulberry trees planted inside, and a vegetable field to grow some fruits and vegetables.

The old man led by the family saluted, "Meet the king." ”

"Get up and speak."

When facing the people, Li Yunze has always had a kind face, and he will not change because of his identity.

Because no matter what world he goes to, he will never forget where he came from.

That's true empathy.

Ignoring the stained luxurious clothes on his body, Li Yunze sat down on a wooden stake very simply and asked the head of the family, "The autumn harvest is over, how is the family's income this year?" ”

The holy decree of the division was written in the spring and March of the fourth year, but in the various preparations in Chang'an City, plus the time of running along the way, when I arrived in Zhongshan Kingdom, it was already the autumn harvest time.

It is said that it is an autumn harvest, but in fact it is more like a summer harvest, because the temperature rises, and the crops mature earlier.

By the way, Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty did not have an era name, so he was limited to his accession to the throne, and the number of years after his accession to the throne was said to be a few years.

The year name will not appear until the little pig comes on the field.

The old man was very nervous, first secretly looked at the group of civil and military standing behind Li Yunze, and then responded dryly.

"King, the Holy Son of Heaven is on the throne, the wind and rain are smooth, and each acre of land should not be worth one or two buckets."

"Huh."

Li Yunze smiled and didn't speak, this kind of words were obviously taught in advance, but they were honest, and they didn't say anything to themselves.

China's grain production has been increasing since the Warring States period.

This is mainly due to the continuous selection of improved seeds, the construction of water conservancy, the application of new agricultural tools, and so on.

Of course, the growth is limited, and the decline in the millennium is basically maintained at the extent that the yield per mu is more than one stone, that is, more than one hundred.

As for the fact that there are only a few buckets in individual areas, or two or three in individual areas, it is a special case.

I chatted with the old man about family life, and asked about family conditions, living standards, local prices and so on.

After chatting, Li Yunze got up and asked the chamberlain to reward the old man with a silk, and then set off to return to the city.

This kind of fanfare survey is enough once, first figure out the basic situation, listen to what the local civil and military people have reported, and then there will be a basis for comparison.

Next, it's time for a private visit.

Not only Lunu, but also all over Zhongshan Country must be walked through to understand the local situation clearly, so as to reasonably arrange the follow-up work.

For example, where is the right place to farm, and what to plant. Where is suitable for grazing, what is grazing. Where is it suitable for mining coal, where is it suitable for building roads, where can reservoirs be built, where can ferries and wharves be built, etc.

If you just sit in the palace and listen to the report below, you will really laugh, and you have to go over and see it for yourself.

He had indeed passed through Zhongshan Country in other worlds before, but the vicissitudes of life, time is the most ruthless pig-killing knife, and hundreds or even thousands of years have passed.

Not to mention anything else, the Yellow River at this time is still crystal clear!

The next day, Li Yunze did not set off.

It's not because the local civil and military people want to send their own women and nieces into the palace as maids, Li Yunze, as a righteous gentleman, of course this kind of thing is sternly refused.

It's because he needs new pants.

The clothes of the Han Dynasty did not have a crotch, simply put, they were wearing open crotch pants, and they used a crotch seal, which was called poor pants in this era.

In order to avoid air leakage, it is necessary to wear a straight skirt on the outside, which is called a curved skirt in women's words.

The curved deep coat is actually unisex, tight and narrow throughout, and the sleeves are wide and narrow.

Then there is the skirt, which is the most standard top and bottom.

The reason why kneeling was used to sit in the Han Dynasty was also to cover it with an outer robe to avoid air leakage and unsightliness.

This kind of open pants in the Han Dynasty has no crotch, only two trouser tubes, which is the kind worn by children in the modern world.

On the one hand, this kind of clothing is convenient for cooling, after all, the temperature in this era is rising, and there is a lack of means to reduce heat, after all, there is no air conditioning fan.

Another reason is that open crotch pants are also convenient for untying hands, and it is also very convenient when running errands, lifting the robe to reveal weapons and scabbards.

As the saying goes, the wind blows the skirt and makes the ass cold, that's what I said.

When Li Yunze went out to eat at night, he saw that the people in the palace were really spicy, so he decided to solve this matter before going to the countryside.

There is no point in transporting supplies directly from the modern world, you have to improve the technological level of this world.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to sew a crotch for open crotch pants, and he summoned a group of women from the city into the palace to prepare to make pants.

In this era, there were no clothing stores, and the clothes were made at home, and even the woven clothes were spun at home.

You can't find a tailor, you can only find these women who do needlework at home all year round.

Then the news spread from the city of Lunu, and everyone said that the king was a good woman.

Even many people sighed and sighed and were annoyed because their own lady was not chosen.

The reason is simple, there are too many benefits for relatives in the Han Dynasty.

The Lu family who is farther away naturally doesn't need to say much, just look at the Dou family at this time.

The Dou family was originally just a poor person in Qinghe County, but when Dou Yifang got Liu Heng's favor, and Liu Heng became the Son of Heaven from the country to Chang'an, the Dou family trembled.

Not only was his father posthumously named Hou, but his mother was also named his wife.

The titles of the marquis and his wife in the Han Dynasty are not the ones that sound good in later generations, but have real benefits.

There are fiefs, eateries, and households, and there are many privileges and benefits.

Dou Yifang's younger brother Dou Guangguo was originally abducted and sold to someone else's house as a slave, but once he recognized his relatives, he immediately received countless rewards, and invited a famous person to be his teacher.

The Dou family has soared and become a family that the whole world looks at.

This is a living example in front of you.

Although the King of Zhongshan only has eight counties, it is also a hegemon.

The nobles who can't get along with Chang'an City, and if they can be the relatives of the King of Zhongshan, they can also soar.

This is the reason for the discussion in the city of Lunu.

After Li Yunze learned about this, he really rolled his eyes angrily.

How can he be regarded as a perverted ghost!

Besides, even if he really wanted to be a pervert, he couldn't find a woman.

The woman of this year is busy working all day long, and even goes to the ground, her face is haggard and her skin is rough, which is simply compared with Mama Rong.

Li Yunze didn't say a word, and immediately asked the women to receive the sewing cloth and leave the palace immediately, and went back to his house to make new pants.

The so-called new pants have no technical content at all, that is, they add a waist and crotch.

Then tie it around your waist with a rope.

In just one night, the women of the city rushed to make thousands of trousers.

And their reward is the needle and thread brain and the rest of the fabric.

Don't underestimate the needles and threads, the needles of this year are all hard grinding, black and big. Ahem, that's what it means anyway.

When sewing clothes, the eye of the needle is also very large, and it looks ugly.

What Li Yunze provides is the needle processed by the machine in the modern world, and the thread is also the thin wire of the modern world.

The women took it home and used it, and it was very efficient and beautiful.

The pants were distributed to everyone in the palace, and finally there was no need to be spicy when it was windy.

And this incident also set off a trend in Lunu City, and many families began to learn to make new pants in order to catch up with fashion.

Clever merchants perceived an opportunity and went from house to house to buy fine needles and threads that were beautifully made.

After you are ready to ship to the field, sell it for a good price.

When the women saw that the merchants' prices were high enough, most of them were willing to sell the fine needles and threads in their hands.

The merchants of the Han Dynasty were all very smart.

Li Yunze didn't care about these things even if he knew.

With his retinue, he rode his horse away from Lunu and went straight into the distance.

Li Yunze is going to see a real Zhongshan country.
