Today's autumn wind is a bit violent, although it is not yet "biting", but it can also make people feel the approach of winter more and more clearly.

Su Qingluan was thinking about how to elect a new "team leader" tomorrow when there were more people, and carefully folded the piece of paper that he had to give Mu Xingzhi with the direction of stirrups, horseshoes and iron-making improvements carefully and put it in his sleeve - otherwise, if it was blown away and picked up by others, it would not necessarily cause any mess.

Although he wanted to use this as a "thank you gift", Su Qingluan still played the drums very much.

The biggest reason why it helps Mu Xingzhi's idea is that now the harsh taxes have reached an outrageous level, and it can be said that once the autumn harvest is made, there will be a group of ordinary people who will not survive the next year because of excessive taxes.

Moreover, Huaxi Village and Lefeng County are both remote counties with "high mountains and far away emperors", and relatively speaking, the control of public opinion in the market is not so strict. Therefore, the people here are much more free to speak and act than the people in the capital.

Because of this, the people here will talk more casually in private without any scruples.

Su Qingluan has heard more than once that the current emperor favors beauties, and snubs the former virtuous queen and the queen's concubine, but favors a beauty from a humble background and the concubine she is in.

Not only that, but the emperor also believed in Fang Shi and refined the pill because of his pursuit of a long life, and just because Fang Shi said "The son of the queen and His Majesty's eight sons are in conflict", he drove his own flesh and blood to live in the cold palace.

Some people say that the queen's concubine is dead, some say that she was tortured to the point of madness, and some say that she was poisoned and became a deaf and blind cripple......

There are all kinds of rumors, but in one sentence: the queen's family is very miserable, the emperor doesn't care about political affairs, he asks God all day long, and the government is said to be controlled by the family of the favorite concubine.

Su Qingluan knew that the so-called "folk legends" were likely to be fabricated or exaggerated, but as the so-called "no wind and no waves", at least Su Qingluan had heard Xie Zi'an mention that his family was related to the favorite concubine of the court.

In this way, folklore is not entirely implausible.

Not only the words of the Xie family, but also the increasingly sullen expressions of everyone during the previous autumn harvest, as well as the worry about the coming winter, made Su Qingluan faintly aware that the current emperor in power was not the material of a Ming monarch.

Su Qingluan thought very simply: first of all, even if there is a war in the future, although Huaxi Village and Lefeng County are the so-called "traffic arteries", they are really limited in resources, in short, they are too poor, there are no resources to use, and they are not dangerous places that soldiers must fight for, and they are far away from the capital, so they will not be used as the main battlefield anyway;

Secondly, now this ruler is very unreliable, and it doesn't matter if the favorite concubine's family is reliable or not, the world is not theirs, no matter how they do it, they will not feel distressed, sixty percent of the taxes have made the people miserable, no matter how bad it is, it is better to see what Mu Xingzhi can do, give it a go, and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle;

The last is Su Qingluan's own little selfishness, when she talked to Mu Xingzhi, she found that this person is a broad-minded person who is willing to accept fresh ideas, and can be very rational and decisive, even if it is purely based on interests, he will not be a person who enjoys himself and does not care whether the people live or die, because this will leave all kinds of hidden dangers.

Such a person, whether he is a commander or an assistant, will not have a hard time for the people under his rule.

Su Qingluan knew that not caring about anything by herself might be the best way to protect herself, after all, with her own earning ability, she would not be too bad anywhere.

However, through the words of the people around her, she also understood that since the current emperor completely favored the beauty and believed in the monks, the life of the people was becoming more and more difficult.

Su Qingluan didn't have learned about history, and understood how disastrous the consequences of a supreme ruler if he believed in Fang Shi - he was able to sweep his own flesh and blood out of the house because of Fang Shi's words, would he wantonly arrest children and girls because of Fang Shi's words such as "I want a hundred boys and girls"?

With such a ruler on top, can their family really "sit back and relax" forever?

Su Qingluan really doesn't have the confidence to give the whole family this package ticket.

Before, the Xie Mansion found someone to secretly kidnap the Su family, and the whole family was still vivid, and Su Qingluan did not forget it. At that time, if it weren't for Mu Xingzhi's protection behind him, it was still unknown what the Su family would suffer now.

Obviously, she just wants to live well......

Thinking so, Su Qingluan walked more quickly in the direction of Mu Xing's house.

Sketching was now almost taught geometrically, and Su Qingluan began to ask a few people to depict relatively simple still lifes. However, because they have a deep foundation in painting, everyone can quickly grasp the composition, but it is not an overnight thing to draw the texture of the object.

In fact, at first, some people questioned whether it was really possible to use charcoal to fully express the "texture" of the object. So Su Qingluan was in a painting - and Su Qingluan's previous paintings did not show special texture.

So Su Qingluan also chose a set of scenery when everyone was painting today-a cotton and linen texture tablecloth was spread on the coffee table, and Songbo wanted to take it, but let Su Qingluan stay; A group of bone china teacups, the lower edge of which shines brightly against the backdrop of light; There were also pomegranates that had just been half-peeled and even juice that had accidentally spilled on the table.

In such an embarrassing corner, Su Qingluan deliberately let Songbo keep it, and drew these objects with completely different textures one by one.

Everyone looked at the object in front of them that seemed to be about to come out, and even felt that the next moment they touched that drop of water could wet their fingertips, and they stopped talking.

"The most critical factor in reactive texture is 'light'," although I can't talk about the concepts of "reflection", "refraction" and "scattering", Su Qingluan still couldn't help but give some hints, "Different rays of light shine on different objects at different angles, giving people different feelings, as long as you can express the characteristics of light and shadow, you can draw the texture of each item." ”

After this class, Su Qingluan sighed heavily, and then poured the phoenix single fir that came up with Songbo - no way, her throat was already smoking, and she couldn't savor it, even if it was the tea that had been praised before.

"Eh, it's obviously a painting course, and I use my mouth more than my hands," Su Qingluan complained, "I don't know, I thought I was here to debate the scriptures." "After all, these two things are serious tricks.

Mu Xingzhi said thoughtfully: "Qingluan, when you are lecturing, you always seem to want to say and stop, as if you want to say something, but you have to replace it with other words, why?" ”
