Chapter 147: Knitting a Sweater May the People of the World Not Get Cold
Chapter 147 Knitting sweaters, hoping that people all over the world will not be cold
You cannot enter the palace without seeing Queen Ma. Lao Zhu was very happy and angry just now, and he was also a little tired. After approving several important memorials, he took Zhu Su to see Queen Ma. Queen Ma was asking Shang Yi in the palace to tell her the history.
, seeing Lao Zhu and Zhu Su coming, she put on a straight face and asked Zhu Su why he sent a caravan out of the customs without permission to trade with the Mongolian herdsmen.
Zhu Su was a little ashamed. Queen Ma was usually a loving mother, but when it came to matters of justice, she was often harsher than Lao Zhu. He felt guilty after being reprimanded by her for no reason, and hurriedly explained:
"My son is about to explain in detail!"
So Zhu Su began to talk about sending a caravan to the grassland to purchase wool.
"My people in the Ming Dynasty suffered from the cruelty of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the past, and their families were often extremely poor. When I was in the village, I found that several members of the family shared a winter coat to keep out the cold. Except when going out, the rest of the people could only wear a single coat at home.
Shivering."
"Brother Bao'er even told me that there are people in the north who only have one piece of clothing all year round! That's the north! If you wear such thin clothes, won't you freeze to death?"
"Unexpectedly, the wool on the grasslands has been piling up in mountains all year round. The herdsmen regard it as useless and discard it and burn it every year. I remember that in later generations, there was a method of spinning wool into wool. It only cost a few copper coins.
, you can buy mountains of wool from the grassland.”
"In later generations, there was a method of knitting sweaters with double needles. Unfortunately, I only know one method, but not the other. I will trouble you to study this method of knitting sweaters and popularize it."
"Sweaters can keep out the severe cold, and the wool is cheap. Chinese women are the most ingenious. As long as this method is promoted to the common people, women can just buy a roll of low-priced wool and weave a knitted yarn for their family."
A sweater to keep out the cold.”
"The wool trade alone can do so much good!"
"Given time, maybe people all over the world will no longer have to endure the cold and freeze because they have nothing to wear!"
Hearing what Zhu Su said, Empress Ma couldn't help but sit up straight, with a look of relief and pride on her face. "I heard from your father that you sent a caravan out of customs. I just thought you were just fooling around and coveting the products of the grassland.
I didn’t expect you to have such good intentions!”
"This is a good deed that benefits the country and the people! The ones who thread the needle and do the threading, not your men's family, but our women's family!" Empress Ma was high-spirited. "This method of knitting sweaters must be figured out as soon as possible. You can spin it well
Once the line is over, remember to send it to the palace as soon as possible!"
"If we push it to the people one day earlier, maybe one less person will suffer from the cold in winter!"
"Yes." Zhu Su nodded. To promote sweater knitting, it is most appropriate for Empress Ma to come forward. Knitting sweaters must be promoted among women, and it is precisely this matter that the empress, who is the mother of the world, takes charge of.
Just right.
"Although sweaters benefit the country and the people, there are other more important things. As for steel-making and cement, we must not ignore it." Lao Zhu reminded. Steel production is related to weapons, and cement can be used on the grassland.
In his mind, building a city and building a city are the biggest killers of Pingjing Grassland. If Zhu Su focused on a mere sweater, he would be putting the cart before the horse.
Zhu Su curled his lips in his heart. After all, it was the limitations of the times. He couldn't see that this little sweater was the real weapon for the troubles in the Yongjing grassland. "Sheep eats people" is the most suitable conspiracy to deal with the nomads on the grassland.
The role it can play is far beyond that of sharp weapons or solid cities.
But even if the story of the land enclosure movement was told to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu would not believe it without proof. People in this era still knew nothing about the power of the economy and the market.
It is better to wait until he has made some achievements first, and then let Lao Zhu open the gate and release the water with his own hands, forming a rolling torrent that floods the grassland.
Empress Ma couldn't wait to ask Zhu Su how to knit clothes with two needles. Zhu Su taught him all his little knowledge of hand-knitting sweaters. Empress Ma's eyes suddenly shone thoughtfully. She just hated the people around her.
I don’t have any yarn yet, otherwise I might have to start experimenting on the spot.
I had dinner with Lao Zhu and Queen Ma in the palace, and it was already afternoon when I came out. When I arrived at the palace gate, I found that the carriage that I came from was still waiting. The royal guards were holding their horse helmets and armor like statues. Yao Guangxiao
Sitting cross-legged on the carriage shaft and meditating with his eyes closed, Zhu Su's bald head swayed in the sun, making him dizzy.
"Why are you still waiting here?" Zhu Su was a little surprised. "Since I have come to the palace, my father will definitely send the royal guards to take me back. Monk, why do you have time to wait under the scorching sun?"
"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao then opened his eyes. The funny short coat of a horseman actually made him feel like an outsider. "How can there be any reason to go ahead without getting His Highness's order? All the guards are loyal people.
Even if the young monk wants to go back first, they will definitely not listen."
Zhu Su quickly ordered repairs on the spot, and paid for people to buy food and water for the soldiers. This guard, which was as motionless as a sculpture in front of the palace gate, had already attracted many passers-by to watch, and the picker selling sesame cakes
There were quite a few Physalis people in the crowd, so it didn’t take much effort.
"Did you have nothing to do when your highness was at court just now?" Yao Guangxiao asked Zhu Su in a low voice while eating sesame seed cakes.
Zhu Su happened to want to find a think tank for questioning, so he impeached Ru Taisu and wanted to transfer him out of the imperial palace and send him back to the main hall. He told Yao Guangxiao. Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly after hearing this: "Your Highness, you want to
How to keep a low profile, no longer attract attention, and continue to perform as much as possible in the imperial palace?"
"Not bad." Zhu Su's eyes lit up, "Do you have any idea?"
"This matter is not difficult. You only need to hide among the crowd, and you will no longer attract the attention of the courtiers." Yao Guang said filially. "Naru Taisu wants to let His Highness return to the main hall, which is a plan to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."
"In that case, why don't Your Highness move the main hall to the Imperial Mansion?"
"You mean?" Zhu Su understood. "Let the princes come to the Imperial Manor to study?"
"That's right." Yao Guangxiao nodded. "I heard that His Highness wants to build an academy. In this case, why not persuade His Majesty to let the princes also come to study in the academy."
"With the princes living together, no matter what you do in the palace, the courtiers will not think that your highness did it alone. Then your highness can truly feel at ease."
Zhu Su lowered his head and pondered, this was indeed a way. He could have told Lao Zhu that he wanted to pass on the science of studying objects to his brothers, so that Lao Zhu would agree to let all the brothers come to Bifeng Imperial Manor to study together.
But the bargaining chip of studying the study of things is not enough. Compared with Song Lian, Li Xiyan and other great scholars in Dabentang, my new theory is obviously not qualified. Moreover, the brothers will all be vassal kings in the future, so Lao Zhu doesn't care much if he wants to come.
Do they want to learn the too detailed knowledge of investigating things?
"You have to make the plate bigger first." Zhu Su pondered.
Yao Guangxiao was also pondering. He was aware of Zhu Su's reputation in the court. But in the final analysis, His Highness was still just a young man. Based on his age alone, he relied on his parents' favor everywhere and had no taboos.
age.
How could a young prince like Ru Taisu be so jealous? He, Yao Guangxiao, came to the door because he thought there was something rare to live in. Ru Taisu had been calm all his life, how could he suddenly do such an unexpected thing?
Something safe to come?
"Something must have happened in the middle of the court." Yao Guangxiao thought to himself.
