388.Competing with the People (2-in-1)
You Hun felt that the woolen sweater on his body still had some diaphragm, after all, it was not the same as the previous loose clothes, highlighting the small belly.
But such a close-fitting woolen sweater is just airtight, not only does it not feel cold, but it also feels a little hot.
You Hun was already fat, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, the winter clothes were wide and did not fit, and there was often still wind to get into the body, although it can keep out the cold, but the hands and feet are always very cold, but once you wear this woolen sweater, you don't even feel cold in your hands and feet." ”
You Hun is very envious of Gao Lanying, as a woman, she also has this talent, and then she looks at her uselessness, and she unconsciously feels a little inferior.
The cold effect of the woolen sweater is indeed excellent, after all, it is still wearing clothes after three thousand years, and the technical content of this thing is not high, even if the time of appearance is separated by thousands of years, the warmth effect is not much different, in this era of warm climate, even in the North Sea, there is no need to be afraid of the cold.
Zishou doesn't care, anyway, he can earn a wave of mediocrity by eating people by sheep, and the woolen sweater appears, and the people don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they can scold themselves more.
As for the people, as long as there is no leakage, there can be no praise.
After all, with their level of knowledge, it is impossible to know that they are crazy about the nobles and forbid the nobles to enclose the land to prevent the crops from becoming pasture and lack of food, and maybe they will complain because the court does not let them grow pasture to increase their income.
The people, even if they have foresight, don't have time to think about it.
Gao Lan Yingxing said: "Your Majesty, this woolen sweater is not only stronger than ordinary winter clothes, but also more flexible, ordinary winter clothes are more inconvenient to move, this woolen sweater is a little uncomfortable to wear at first, but after adapting, the hands and feet are flexible and convenient to fight, and the southern war must have an advantage." ”
The corners of Zishou's mouth twitched, but fortunately, when he decided to let Uncle Wen stay in the south, he never thought that he would lose the battle.
Even if Baiyue has some strange things and a slight disadvantage, the final result is still the same, and it is difficult to resist destruction.
Fortunately, there are many people in the Baiyue tribes, the place they occupy is also large, the terrain is extremely complex, and the transportation requirements for grain and grass supplies are extremely high.
Be optimistic, before the big victory in the south, you can use sheep to eat people to earn enough mediocrity.
"The credit of Gao Qing's family, I wrote it down first, Doctor You, return the clothes to Gao Qing's family, and prepare to return to the palace. ”
Zishou waved his hand at You Hun, and You Hun reluctantly stretched out his little fat hand to the corner of the clothes, although he didn't know how much this woolen sweater was worth, but he could prostitute one piece for nothing.
Gao Lanying arched his hand: "If Dr. You likes it, I will give him this one, Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do, how should this woolen sweater be priced?"
Ordinary goods naturally do not need to be priced by the imperial court, and the trade of the noble caravans will be operated according to the cost, but the woolen clothes are different, they must first be supplied to the army in the south, which is a military material, even if the imperial court alone controls it and does not let the nobles interfere, there is no problem.
Zishou pondered for a long time: "Rong Zhen thought about this matter for a while. ”
Does the king of Shu want to put a cover on himself through a sweater to completely intensify the contradiction between the big merchants and the nobles? Then he must drill into the cover, and as for how to operate it, he has to think about it.
.............
Shang Rong braved the heavy rain at the beginning of the year to burn the book and completed the first kill in his life, and he was exhausted, if it wasn't for the fact that the king of Xuan deliberately put the official hat on his head at that time, he would have really resigned that day.
However, Rao is like this, recently it is autumn and winter, the weather is cold, and his physical condition is getting worse and worse.
Shang Rong warmed the pot of wine and sighed: "In a few days, I'm afraid it will snow, the south will start winter early this year, and the days will be very difficult....."
As he spoke, he shook the wine lord and poured it down, and at this time, Shang Qingjun returned home.
Seeing Shang Qingjun, Shang Rong looked very happy, and the corners of his eyebrows were lightly raised.
He basically did it from the beginning to the end, and with a few brilliant performances, he has already gotten rid of the bad influence of the dictatorship, and the king wearing a hat is the best proof that now he is worth caring about, and there is only such a daughter left.
Thinking of everything about Gao Cheng and Gao Lanying not long ago, Shang Rong couldn't help but be a little more concerned: "Qingjun, didn't you go to the medical school today?" Your Majesty allows women to be officials, and even female generals have it, and if you run it for your father, maybe you can enter the sixth department..."
He is full of hope for Shang Qingjun, he is already a very good minister, if Shang Qingjun can also rise step by step, there is nothing to worry about in this life.
Of course, if Shang Qingjun is replaced by someone else, Shang Rong still doesn't want to see a woman as an official in the Sixth Ministry, so he will double standard, what happened to the double standard? Shang Qingjun is his own daughter!
Shang Qingjun said: "The weather is getting colder, and the child knits a shirt for his father. ”
Shang Rong blinked, men plough and women weave, Shang Qingjun naturally knows some weaving, but he is reluctant to let his daughter weave clothes, and he has never let Shang Qingjun weave clothes for himself.
"Qingjun, do you still teach this in your medical school?"
Shang Rong knew that doctors use needles to treat diseases, and medical needles and sewing needles are both needles, so maybe Shang Qingjun has already begun to learn acupuncture therapy, and he has to start from sewing and weaving.
Shang Qingjun shook his head and explained: "This is what General Gao taught me, women's clothing weaving is a matter of course, and most of the women in the Women's Federation practice weaving to subsidize their families. ”
"This..."Shang Rong hesitated for a while: "It's not that being a father is not bad for the Women's Federation, but as a court official, a female doctor in a medical school, you are still learning to treat diseases and save people, so you don't need to subsidize your family at home." ”
He is not very optimistic about the Women's Federation, even if the Women's Federation and the Women's Army are in the same place, they can't afford to make any waves, after all, women can't earn money to support their families, this is an indisputable fact, even if there is a Women's Army, symbolism and commendation are far greater than practicality, maybe this batch of Women's Army until they die of old age, and there is no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Shang Qingjun bowed down, holding the woolen sweater that had been made overnight in both hands, and said very seriously: "Please also ask my father to put it on first." ”
Shang Rong did not refuse, but had some expectations, this was the clothes that his baby daughter had knitted for herself.
He took the clothes, furry and fluffy, he had never seen them before, and they seemed to be somewhat similar to the fur worn by the leaders of the northern tribes such as the Ghost Marquis.
Whatever, try it first, Shang Rong took off his coat, and Shang Qingjun put on the woolen coat for him.
"Giggles..."Shang Qingjun couldn't help laughing, and after putting on Shang Rong's woolen coat, he wasted a lot of energy before pulling his beard outside.
"Eh, lighter... Lighter ....."
Shang Rong held back and didn't cry out in pain, but there was a happy scene between father and daughter.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong with his body, at the beginning, he felt that his clothes were a little tight, not as loose as before, but after getting used to it, he felt very comfortable.
Shang Qingjun asked, "Father, do you still feel cold?"
Shang Rong was silent for a long time and said, "No." ”
The Prime Minister's Mansion can naturally afford to burn charcoal and stone, but it is impossible for Shang Rong not to go out, and as soon as he goes out, he will suffer from the cold.
But this woolen jacket is worn on the body, so it doesn't feel cold, and what's even more amazing is that it doesn't affect the activity at all, and it seems to feel more convenient than a coat.
It's not a sweater bottom, and there is a cool feeling in contrast.
"....." Shang Rong got up, walked a few steps, walked outside, and felt deeper outside the house, warm at the top and cool at the bottom, the wonder of this dress can be seen.
He glanced at Shang Qingjun, who was following closely, and asked, "What kind of clothes is this?"
Shang Qingjun said: "Father, this thing is called a sweater, which is woven from wool, and the women in the Women's Federation can weave it. ”
Shang Rong recalled it, and it seemed that he had seen it in the song, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.
His body was warm, and his heart was also warm, and he asked tentatively: "Qingjun, how much does the sweater cost?"
"It's not expensive. Shang Qingjun said with a smile: "Less than 100 words, a few days ago, the King of Shu gave General Gao a silkworm loom machine, and skilled female workers can spin countless threads in one day with this weaving, and all they need is weaving. ”
Shang Rong was dumbfounded, the sky is about to change!
The first is the low price.
This kind of sacred object that can keep out the cold is low in cost and less than 100 wen, even if you want to make a profit from it, it can be sold for less than 200 wen at most, even if it is a suffering person outside the song, you can also use it.
Nowadays, the most common disease for people is wind chill, and although charcoal and stone for heating are cheap, it limits people's range of activities, and it is difficult to go out in winter.
But if everyone wears a sweater, they don't have to worry about the wind and cold when they go out.
How important would this be? It meant that soldiers could march in winter, grain could be transported in winter, caravans could travel in winter, and markets could be as lively as ever in winter.
The winter day, which has always been a time off, will usher in unprecedented prosperity, which is equivalent to an extra three months of working time.
The second is the elevation of women's status.
The importance of sweaters is self-evident, and most of the sweaters are women, and there are really few men who know how to do it.
The aristocracy had opened workshops to recruit women workers, and women had a way to subsidize their families.
Production will not stop after the winter passes, and linen clothes and cloth clothes need to be woven.
With productivity and the ability to generate benefits, the status of women will change little by little.
Shang Rong pondered for a while, and continued to ask: "Qingjun..."
"Father?"
Shang Rong said solemnly: "If you have leisure on weekdays, go and contact General Gao more, you are officials in the same dynasty, and you are sisters, if there is a troubled place in the Women's Federation, you can also help, if there is any inconvenience, you can also say that you are a father." ”
Shang Qingjun was stunned, and he didn't know how his old father had changed his temperament because of a sweater.
Just now you said to go as little as possible, but now it's more contact?
Shang Rong's mind has been activated, if it was just King Xu's insistence on going his own way and insisting on improving the status of women, but now it is different, the status of women does not need anyone's help, and is slowly improving due to the improvement of productivity.
In the future, it is really as the king said, to achieve three obedience and four virtues, so that there are many women in the army and the court as generals, and I can't say, what a prescient way this is!
Shang Rong looked at Shang Qingjun and couldn't speak, when the time comes, it will be a good operation, not to say that he will enter the phase, let his daughter be a big official, and leave a name for eternity like a good woman, it is not impossible!
...........
Before the early dynasty, Shang Rong reorganized the music, and he wanted to discuss the matter of the woolen jacket with the courtiers.
Wait, wait, today may be the morning dynasty, it may be the afternoon dynasty, or it may be the evening dynasty.
Anyway, when the king came, he began to meet the court, and when the king did not come, he dealt with the music and communicated on his own, and the courtiers of the great merchants have always had a strong ability to act independently.
After waiting for a while, Shang Rong was already a little anxious.
Yang Ren casually flipped through the music, saw Shang Rong's eager appearance, and said loudly: "Why should the old prime minister be in a hurry, the last court meeting was three days ago, and His Majesty will definitely come today, if there is something urgent, it will be played again." ”
Shang Rong hurriedly said: "Doctor Yang, I don't know if Yu Shitai has ever heard of woolen clothes?"
Yang Ren didn't know how to feel it: "There is a royal history that has reported that this sweater was invented by General Gao, woven from wool, and some nobles have set up workshops for this, thinking that it should be intended to be sold as goods. ”
Shang Rong said: "Then Doctor Yang knows how much this sweater costs?"
"I don't know. ”
"Only 100 articles. ”
Shang Rong stroked his beard and recalled the pain of pulling his beard the day before yesterday: "It would be fine if this sweater was just cheap, but it kept warm and wore on the body, even if you go out in winter, you don't feel cold." ”
"This..."Yang Ren was surprised: "The price is low and can protect against the cold?"
Shang Rong pulled a corner of his shirt away, revealing the sweater inside: "Qingjun knitted one for the old man the day before yesterday, this is not a lie." ”
A word attracted a lot of people, Lu Xiong reached out and wanted to touch it, the sweater sweater was secondary, he wanted to have a caring daughter who knitted clothes for himself, but unfortunately, there was only one son in this life.
Xin Jia, Tai Dian and others are also very envious, their daughter is good, although they can't be passed on to the next generation, but they are intimate and filial.
There was a faint sadness between Li Jing's eyebrows, he sighed, and turned to a serious place: "What is the output of this sweater?"
You Hun said: "A few days ago, I went to see it in Xia and His Majesty, there is a silkworm loom presented by the King of Shu, as long as there are enough female workers, the output is not worried." ”
"Really?"
Lu Xiong was pleasantly surprised: "This thing is of great use to the army of the Southern Expedition!"
Wan Nian also nodded: "When I traveled, I saw many people freezing to death, and with this thing, it will be difficult to contract typhoid fever again, which will benefit the country and the people." ”
Just when the ministers praised the sweater, Shang Rong shouted: "It's not good!"
"Your Majesty already knows what a sweater is?"
You Hun was stunned: "Naturally, what does the prime minister think is wrong?"
Shang Rong repeatedly patted the case: "Your Majesty got this Sheji's thing, but he didn't discuss it with us, so he must have made a decision." ”
"How can such a major event allow Your Majesty to be arbitrary? If this woolen jacket wants to expand the number of production, it must rely on the manpower, material resources, and transportation capacity of the nobles, and relying only on the imperial court and the state treasury is far from enough to benefit the world!"
The courtiers were aware of a problem.
If you want to expand the scale and expand production, you have to rely on the aristocracy, otherwise the current imperial court, which is short of treasury, where will the money come from to produce a large number of sweaters?
Not to mention benefiting the people, even rationing to the southern expeditionary army is a problem.
But everyone knows that the king and the nobles do not deal with each other, even if the nobles are forced to transform into business, they have to charge extremely heavy business taxes, how can they make concessions on this woolen coat, give such sacred objects to the nobles, and let the nobles earn fame because of this?
It's not that it's bad to suppress the aristocracy, but between suppressing the aristocracy and benefiting the people, the ministers tend to make the people of the world no longer suffer from bitter cold.
Yang Ren realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately said to You Hun: "Doctor You, please also go to the inner palace, please Your Majesty discuss politics quickly, today's matter is very important, and there is no room for delay." ”
You Hun didn't quite understand, and when he saw that the ministers were looking at him, he had no choice but to go.
After a while, I will return to the Nine Halls.
"Your Majesty is coming?"
You Hun shook his head: "Your Majesty said that today's horse race is open, the court meeting will be postponed, and it will be discussed in three days, and General Yin and the guards have already led out of the palace." ”
This...
The ministers looked at each other, and the king slipped away at this time.
Shang Rong patted the case: "Let's go, we will also go outside the city, we must catch up with Your Majesty, if we can let the woolen clothes benefit the world as soon as possible, we can make the people suffer less cold." ”
The crowd was excited, and the king of Xuan carried it like this, most of them planned to choose to suppress the nobles between suppressing the nobles and benefiting the world.
The royal power and the nobility are naturally opposed, and no matter how holy the king is, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have selfish intentions.
It's not that it can't be suppressed by the aristocracy, but the suppression of the aristocracy is also for better governance, so that the decrees of the imperial court can be better issued to the place and benefit the people.
As a courtier, he must set aside the chaos and alert His Majesty.
Everyone got up and walked to the racecourse.
Only Tai Dian felt a little strange, the king of the horse has not gone to the horse farm for a long time to race horses and bet on horses, why did he have a whim today?
