Chapter 259: Broken
"Fairy seeds are precious and should be distributed to the common people..." the female official said vaguely.
"That's all, since you let me make the decision, let's separate them as soon as possible. There are only a few people in Pingling. If we don't leave some people, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone to farm the land." Yuntao said.
She knows that in this era, there is a serious gap between the country and the country.
Princess Guangyang's failure to take care of her fiefdom was due to her own reasons, apart from the entry of barbarians.
Perhaps in her opinion, as a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, why should she have to worry about the livelihood of a bunch of common people.
Although in this era it was advocated that the monarch should love the people, the wealthy families did not value the common people after all.
After all, there is a saying that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
There is a strict hierarchy here, and it is not the case that everyone is equal before the law.
Yuntao sighed and picked out a group of people from Li'an.
Then she found a powerful person as the leader. As the old saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. If she didn't pick up some bad-tempered people, she might have been bullied when she went to Pingling.
Yuntao has no intention of moving his property to Pingling.
Papermaking and food are both the characteristics of her place. As for craftsmen, she is also in short supply, so there is no need to involve herself.
The main thing is to first send a group of people to guide the people in preparing farmyard manure, so that they can successfully survive the spring plowing, and first let the people eat enough.
Fortunately, spring comes late in the north, so it's perfectly late to set off.
Those chosen by Yuntao all had excited expressions on their faces, and the corners of their mouths were about to burst into laughter.
They were the first group of people to learn retting...
Preparing fertilizer is really not a decent thing. It will make you stink every day, and your family will inevitably dislike it when you return home.
But after you teach the people in the village well, they will see smiles on their faces. Thank you for teaching them this.
But this matter was settled in Li'an in the first year, and there would be no room for them to use it later.
What to do with the rest of the time?
The people under the county lord were sent to other places to do farm work, or to study as a craftsman.
Now that the county lord has sent them to distant places on official business, each of them is as proud as if he had received an imperial mission.
Even though fertilization is dirty and smelly, it is easy and easier than many manual labors that ordinary people do.
What's more, those who are sent out by the county lord on official business are rewarded with rewards. If they have the opportunity to be elected as managers after returning, they will be given priority.
The group of people went happily and headed to Pingling with the thick clothes prepared for them at home.
The Supreme Emperor died of illness, and the capital city was enveloped in deep sorrow.
Except for the news of victory coming from the northwest, it would be difficult to cheer up the people.
The capital city is quiet and quiet, and the dandies who usually parade through the streets dare not cause trouble on the streets.
The entire imperial city is immersed in the sadness of the death of the Supreme Emperor, and His Majesty is not in a good mood. If you rush to cause trouble, aren't you going to get someone killed?
With the funeral over, the capital became quiet for a while.
The emperor, who had been sad for a long time, slowly returned to his old life rhythm.
When you go to court, you criticize your mistakes and scold the ministers.
When hearing good news coming from the northwest, His Majesty's face would always look a little more joyful, and then feel sad for a long time.
It was in this delicate atmosphere that the calm ancient pond in the capital city and the things sent by Li'an stirred up waves.
Various fresh items sent from Li'an.
Toilet oil, canned pickles, and canned fruits were all popular in Gaomen for a while.
Flower oils are also available in Dajin, used for incense, and are blended with various precious spices.
It is not as light as the floral dew from Li'an, but it is full of floral fragrance. It is said to have the effect of whitening and rejuvenating the skin.
There was a lady who applied floral water on her face and her face immediately became much whiter. Many people bought the product and imitated it. After looking in the mirror, it seemed to be true as rumored.
Yun Tao is not here, otherwise I would have complained about it. It turns white immediately after using it. It is because the face turned white due to blisters.
I don’t know where the message came from, but in short, a bottle of this floral dew is hard to find.
In addition to flower dew, there is also Li'an's special rouge.
The rouge is moisturizing and comes in a variety of colors from pink to bright red and purple, making it dazzling for a while.
Every noble lady took care of the back house and had no shortage of money. They threw away their money bags and took them all away.
There are also people who have made a lot of imitation rouge, but after all, the color is not as good as the one produced by Li'an. Various colors are mixed in, and the color is different every time it is made.
Although a batch was sold following the popularity, more women liked the rouge shipped from Li'an and asked to buy it.
Because the true red color is so warm and brilliant, only the royal wives can use it, and it has been praised by a large number of ladies. Other colors are also good to use, just apply a light layer on it, whether it is on the lips or cheeks, it looks like natural makeup.
Finished, water hibiscus comes out.
Compared with other rouges, the results are much worse. Some face powder falls off, while others are like smearing mud and cannot be applied evenly.
In short, this batch of goods has won unanimous praise from ladies in all aspects.
If I have to pick a shortcoming, it is that it is too cheap and not worthy of their status.
Yuntao studied art and was very familiar with various colors, especially after experiencing the overwhelming lipstick marketing in later generations.
She has used some lipsticks herself, and she knows very well which colors can complement yellow skin.
Secondly, it was too wasteful to use the flower petals once and then throw them away. She reused them and squeezed out the remaining value.
However, the quantity is not large, and if you invest in it, it will not be enough.
Fortunately, ladies don't just rely on rouge and gouache to live their lives.
Canned pickles are very popular among traveling businessmen, and many people are interested in cans that can be stored for half a year.
This batch of canned food was shipped all the way from Li'an. The pickles sold for thirty cents a can, and the various soy beans, fermented bean curd, etc. sold for thirty-five cents a can.
Without him, the latter ones are more durable.
Apply a thin layer and it will be enough for them to eat the entire cake.
A thoughtful person opened this can and saw that the spiral structure on it is quite delicate and can be learned casually.
But what is this soft white thing on top?
People didn't understand it and thought it was of little use. Without it, the left and right can lids could be closed.
As for the sauce inside, isn’t it just a bit salty?
They can add more salt, and some dishes can be eaten without salt.
For a time, many small workshops began to imitate the cans. Although they did not understand what a price war was, they offered prices cheaper than those in Li'an. Many people were moved and bought these cheaper cans.
You have to plan your life carefully to survive.
Some people like the taste of Li'an canned food and still buy Li'an canned food.
Open a bottle of canned food and store it properly to feed the entire convoy for three or four days.
The canned person said that after opening the canned food, it can be stored in a cool place for four or five days in the summer, and as long as a month in the winter.
There were so many people in the traveling convoy that they could eat all the cans before they went bad.
But something strange happened today.
Two traveling merchant convoys were walking together. One convoy opened a can and found that the pickles inside had become moldy and smelly.
For a while, the owner of the canned team was wailing!
Chapter completed!
