Han Dao world

Chapter 1143 I don't know where the ban has been violated, and I am still applying for lifting the ban.

-

After hearing what Xun Wenqian said, Xun Yu knew that although Mrs. Tang invited the emperor to attend the book recommendation meeting, she didn't want him to appear in public.

This is outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is that the emperor actually agreed.

Xun Yu confirmed again and again before ruling out the possibility that he had heard wrong.

Thinking about myself being ordered by Situ to come to Wancheng to discuss matters, the emperor didn't know about it beforehand and didn't say anything afterwards, Xun Yu gradually accepted this fact, he was fortunate but also ashamed.

The world is peaceful, the imperial court is no longer in danger of survival, but the emperor has not changed his original intention. He is determined to find a way for China to dress up, and he is dedicated to the rebirth of Confucianism. For this reason, he does not hesitate to make concessions to scholars.

Compared with this, it is really not generous enough to let go of the face of not being a party member and hesitate to move forward.

"The emperor still wants you to buy clothes?" Xun Yu quickened his pace and followed him to the door of a clothing store.

This clothing store has a large facade, and there is a long wooden table inside. A middle-aged woman is cutting clothes with such skillful techniques that Xun Yu has no time to look at them.A few young women were sitting beside them sewing, and they were also proficient with their needles.In the corner beside him, a young man was ironing clothes with an iron, and the mist was lingering, making a sound.

Along the wall, finished clothes are hung, the clothes are bright, smooth and neat.

Xun Yu had just bought clothes, but he was standing outside the door waiting, did not go in to look, and did not pay attention to why Xun Wenqian could buy ready-made clothes instead of buying fabrics and going home to make them himself.Seeing this at this moment, it suddenly dawned on me.

"Is there another store like this?"

"New things in Wancheng." Xun Wenqian laughed softly: "Ah, keep your voice down, otherwise people will know that you are a foreigner when they hear it, and it will not be so easy to bargain."

Xun Yu swept his gaze and found that the middle-aged woman who was cutting clothes happened to turn around with a smile on her face.

"Several guests, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?"

Xun Wenqian looked at the clothes hanging on the side, and said: "Young scholar, in his early twenties, seven feet six inches tall, well-proportioned figure. Well, he has practiced martial arts for many years, so he is relatively strong. It should be a little looser and the fabric should be thicker."

"Madam is so lucky." The middle-aged woman flattered, and then led Xun Wenqian to a clothes hanger. "Ma'am, what do you think of these? Do you have a favorite color?"

While checking the clothes, Xun Wenqian bargained with the middle-aged woman, and soon settled on two sets of ready-made clothes, totaling [-] yuan.

The middle-aged woman ordered someone to wrap her clothes, and handed them to Xun Yu who had already carried two cloth bags.

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was treating him as a follower, so he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

He didn't even quite understand when he took the two cloth bags in his hand.

Xun Wenqian's mother and daughter also laughed.

Tang was a little embarrassed, and wanted to fetch the cloth bag and carry it by himself.Xun Wenqian said, "Let him carry it. Let my younger brother change it when he's tired. He's usually so busy, and it's rare for him to accompany you. Let him help today."

"Nonsense." Tang reprimanded, but withdrew his hand to get the bag.

After going out, Xun Wenqian leaned into Tang's ear and said, "It's nothing, the Son of Heaven often helps us carry our things."

Tang was taken aback, looked at Xun Wenqian who said she was extremely natural, and then at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu said: "Okay, I'll carry it, it's not heavy anyway." He looked back at the clothing store. "How many shops like this are there?"

"Much, you'll find out after a while."

"People are different in height, short, fat and thin, how can they fit?"

"Although people vary in height, shortness, fatness, and thinness, there are still many well-proportioned figures. As long as clothes are made according to certain procedures, most people's requirements can be met. In this way, the cost of mass production is lower, and it is also available immediately. It saves time, especially for foreigners. If something doesn’t fit, you can change it on the spot.”

"Is it cheaper than buying cloth and making it yourself?"

"Almost. It's just that as long as women in Wancheng are not stupid or lazy, they can find jobs and earn more money. No one wants to waste time cutting cloth and making clothes. It's easier to buy directly. Oh, yes, I heard It is said that someone invented a machine that can sew clothes. Although it can only sew some straight seams, it is fast and very popular."

Xun Yu was dumbfounded.And a machine that can sew clothes?
"Where is this kind of machine, I want to see it."

"I don't know, I'm going to ask." Xun Wenqian looked around. "It first appeared in military uniform workshops, and it has been unknown until recently. It has only entered the market recently. Because of the high cost, it is not affordable for small shops, and you can only see it in the largest shops."

-

Xun Yu wandered the streets for a long time. Although he didn't see a machine that can sew clothes, he also saw the prosperity of Wancheng with his own eyes.

He is very excited.

Although the prosperity of Wancheng is inseparable from a solid foundation, the more critical factor is technology.

By leveraging the potential of technology, more commodities can be produced and people can earn more money.With money, the common people can in turn buy more commodities to improve their lives, so that a large number of commodities can be sold locally rather than exported.

These are not conditions unique to Wancheng.Wancheng can do it, and so can other places.

Even if it is not as good as Wancheng, it can greatly improve the local economy.

If all the counties and counties of Dahan can do this, how rich and powerful will Dahan be in ten years?

Xun Yu didn't dare to think about it, but couldn't help thinking about it.

He didn't sleep well all night.Waking up early the next morning, looking at the dark circles under his eyes in the bronze mirror, he felt a little helpless.

When she changed into the newly bought clothes and was about to take her wife and children to Yinfang, Xun Wenqian rushed over and said that the emperor invited him to ride with him.

Xun Yu didn't refuse, and immediately rushed to the next yard.

Liu Xie was standing in the yard, wearing the new clothes that Xun Wenqian bought yesterday at the clothing store.I have to say that Xun Wenqian's vision is very accurate. This dress fits him very well, as if it was custom-made.

Seeing Xun Yu, Liu Xie opened his arms and turned around.

"How does Mr. Xun feel? Do you look like a scholar?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly. "Your Majesty has both civil and military skills. You can tell if you know the past or the present. Your Majesty is not a scholar. How many people in the world can be a scholar?"

Liu Xie's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled. "Mr. Xun is a man-eating man with a short mouth. It sounds so nice."

"How dare, this minister speaks from the bottom of his heart."

"I like to hear such heartfelt words. Later in the car, Mr. Xun will say a few more words."

"only."

Seeing the half-truth and half-fake jokes between the two, Xun Wenqian was delighted.

Xun Yu and the emperor met many times, but there were not many times when the atmosphere was so harmonious.Especially in the past two years, Xun Yu was dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior, and the emperor was also dissatisfied with Xun Yu's attitude. When the two met, they had more differences than unity, and they often broke up on bad terms, which made it difficult for her to deal with it.

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys go, don't make Mrs. Tang wait too long."

Liu Xie readily agreed, went out with Xun Yu, and boarded the prepared carriage.

Just as Sun Quan, who was standing outside the car, was about to close the door, Liu Xie poked his head out again. "Zhongmou, don't come with you."

Sun Quan was taken aback. "His Majesty?"

"If you look like this, if you stand there, others will know that I'm coming." Liu Xie waved his hand. "Give you a day off. If you want to go, just go and listen by yourself. Don't follow me."

Suddenly, Sun Quan touched his head in embarrassment, gave a salute, and left happily.
