The emperor's answer?

The emperor's answer was of course a raised eyebrow.

As a king, he instinctively resisted.

The literati of all dynasties hated the literary inquisition, but the emperor was not a literati, he was a feudal monarch, and his standpoint determined that his perspective on issues was completely different from those of the literati.

As soon as Miaoyu saw his expression, she understood: "This is my daughter's immature little knowledge. Those people are too hateful!"

The emperor understood immediately.

Although the ancients did not know the phrase "the rhythm of public opinion", the emperor still knew the specific operation and the consequences.

Seeing that Miaoyu voluntarily backed down, the emperor also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Duanhui, if the publication you mentioned is published among the people, the difficulty is to find a proofreader. Whether it is finalized or printed, someone needs to be proofread. It is very rare to be able to read and write and put down your body to do this, let alone do this for a long time. Therefore, the folks can only spend a lot of money to invite people. However, in the royal family, this is not a problem Not to mention the eunuchs in the palace, they are the female officials in the palace, and many of them are from everyone. But even so, the expenses here are not a small number! Duanhui, you should take care of your Zhuangzi first. "

He didn't directly refuse, but said such a big deal, which is already the emperor's trust and love for Miaoyu.If it were someone else, he would never talk nonsense.

Miaoyu said: "It's my daughter's demon. By the way, father, my daughter sent a lot of rabbit wool to my daughter's village. Is father interested in looking at it?"

"Oh? Rabbit wool?"

"Yes. Although it is a bit thicker, it is very warm."

"Oh? That's right. Show it to me quickly."

If we talk about warm clothes, wealthy people can still wear furs, but if it is replaced by ordinary people, many ordinary people can't even afford cotton, so they can only wear reed flowers!

Otherwise, there would be no allusion to wearing reed flowers.

Eating enough and clothing warmly has always been the highest standard for governing the world in all dynasties.The yield of sweet potatoes helps with the former, and the rabbit wool, if it keeps warm enough, means the latter.

Of course the emperor cared.

The matter of the newspapers was diverted like this.

Although winter has just begun, Miaoyu already knows how many people outside have learned how to grow off-season vegetables, and how many people are preparing to make a lot of money on off-season vegetables this winter.

It can be seen that people tend to profit.

Miaoyu didn't persuade, she even knew that if she tried to persuade, it would only arouse the disgust of others.This winter, what she places high hopes on is not out-of-season vegetables, but the income from rabbit fur.

It has to be said that this piece of land has been a treasure since ancient times.

During the Song Dynasty, the large hydraulic spinning wheel was popular all over the country. The large hydraulic spinning wheel could spin more than [-] yarns at a time, and its energy efficiency was strong. It can be said that the developed economy of the Song Dynasty was not unrelated to the strength of the light industry.However, because cotton was planted on a large scale later, it was not suitable for weaving on large hydraulic spinning wheels because the fibers were easily broken, which eventually led to the elimination of large hydraulic spinning wheels.Up to now, only those classics can find the figure of the hydraulic spinning wheel.

But rabbit fur is not cotton.

There are millions of rabbits in Zhuangzi, and they bring millions of rabbit skins in a steady stream every month. The deep processing of rabbit skins came into being, and the rabbit fur textile also came into being. After hundreds of years, water power The big spinning wheel was erected on the land of Huaxia again.The use of large hydraulic spinning wheels also determines that the price of rabbit wool will never be too high.

Rabbit fur is sorted out and spun into threads. After tanning and further processing, rabbit skin is a good material for shoe uppers, which is rainproof, snowproof and warm.

Different from off-season vegetables, the wool and rabbit fur boots produced in Zhuangzi are positioned to meet the needs of Zhuangzi from the very beginning, and the surplus is sold.

Therefore, rabbit wool was only known in the palace, and almost everyone in Miaoyu's village had a set of sweaters and trousers plus a pair of rabbit fur boots.

The emperor has always been a person who likes to try new things, so he held Miaoyu's hand, after looking at these rabbit wool yarns, he said three good things, and then said: "Queen, you weave together with me, let me try this thing to see if it is good .”

Of course the Queen agreed.

After the emperor got the sweater woven by the queen, he made an exception and did not wear a fur, but put a cotton-padded jacket over the sweater.After wearing it for two days, the emperor came to the queen and Miaoyu and said:

"Although this thing is not comparable to a fur, it is enough for ordinary people. Wearing a padded jacket inside is better than others. It is not much different from a fur. Duanhui, the price of this rabbit wool... ..."

Miaoyu immediately replied: "Now the price offered by Zhuangzi is 25 Wen per catty of rabbit wool."

The emperor thought he heard it wrong: "What did you say? How much?"

"A catty of rabbit wool costs 25 Wen."

The queen said: "Long live's sweater uses two catties of thread, plus trousers. Doesn't it mean that ordinary people can weave it for less than a hundred cash and a few days of work?"

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The emperor and the empress looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.

The emperor said: "Queen, is this knitting easy?"

The queen said: "Long live, this sweater is very easy to knit, and there are only a few patterns. In one night, my concubine can knit half a foot."

This rabbit wool is already thick, but if the needle is thicker, if you don't pay much attention to patterns, you can knit a lot in one night.

Both the emperor and the empress wanted to go together.

Only when the wool is cheap enough, the common people can afford it, and only then can they afford to wear it.

——Let the common people have enough food and clothing to keep the country safe and peaceful.

The voice of the old master resounded in the emperor's heart again.

Miaoyu looked at the emperor's face and said in a low voice, "Father, in fact, in fact, there is a gentleman in my son's village who said that to control the desert, you can use three things."

"What three things?"

"Wool, Lamaism, and, swords."

The emperor understood as soon as he heard it.

Rabbit fur can be used for weaving, as can wool.In the desert, wool is no different from garbage.However, once the wool can be exchanged for money, there will be countless herdsmen willing to use the wool they despise to trade with the Han people, and then buy salt, tea and various commodities from the Han people.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

As long as there are benefits, as long as the herdsmen can benefit, the herdsmen can also use it.

The emperor immediately stood up: "Who is this gentleman?"

"It's Master Lin's clan brother, Mr. Lin Zhanlin."

Lin Zhan?The name sounds a little familiar.

The emperor couldn't care less.

"This Mr. Lin is on your Zhuangzi?"

"Yes, Father."

The emperor immediately decided to visit Lin Zhan the next day.

As for the court meeting the next day?Anyway, it's not a big deal, and it doesn't matter if it turns off once in a while.

The author has something to say: When I was writing this chapter, I couldn’t help but wonder if eunuchs and court ladies were not allowed to read and write in the Qing Palace, so the illiteracy rate in the Qing Dynasty was particularly high.

After all, in any dynasty, especially the feudal dynasty, the imperial palace is the benchmark of the world.
