The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 567

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four major issues closely related to life and people.

Here in the big man, food and clothing come from the soil.

Li Yunze went out of the city and came to the fields outside the city. Seeing that the Guizhou chiefs were all covered with clothes, he nodded in satisfaction, "This place is rich."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military people behind them also showed smiles.

This is a kind of affirmation to them.

In ancient times with low productivity, primitive living standards and scarcity of materials were beyond the imagination of modern people.

When my family was poor, I didn’t even have any clothes, so I could only go out to farm quietly at night when I was clean, for fear of being seen by others.

For example, the heads of Guizhou in the fields outside Lunu City at this time can have clothes on their bodies and work in the daytime, which is really good.

Of course, it is very likely that this place is relatively rich near Lunu City, and it has been notified in advance.

After all, it is a thousand-year-old tradition, and everyone who understands it understands it.

Li Yunze stepped into the field ridge very simply, squatted down and carefully inspected the crops in the field.

As far as I can see, the main crops planted are corn, mixed with wheat, and even rice is planted in some fields near the river.

It is not surprising to grow rice so close to the north. In this era, the precipitation line moves north and the temperature rises. Rice can be grown.

In addition, there are hemp stalk crops such as ramie, velvetle, and flax.

And ramie is the main source of clothing materials for the heads of Guizhou.

It is true that as the precipitation line moves northward and the temperature rises, even here in Zhongshan, Guishou's House has planted mulberry trees and raised silkworms.

But the silk products produced by silkworms are important tax-paying materials and living materials.

Such things as silk and satin are grown by the heads of Guizhou, but they are not consumed by them.

The heads of Guizhou spun the stem bark fibers of hemp stalks into linen cloth after special processing, spun linen fabrics with dense warp and weft for autumn and winter clothing, and spun linen fabrics with sparse warp and weft for summer clothing.

Made of ramie, it is called Gebu. Not to mention the ugly color, it is also uncomfortable to wear.

But in this age of low productivity, that's all.

After watching for a while, Li Yunze got up and walked to a house not far away.

The family's yard is not small, with more than 20 mulberry trees planted in it, and a vegetable field to grow some fruits and vegetables.

The leading old man took his family members to salute, "Meet the King."

"Get up and talk."

When facing the common people, Li Yunze has always put on a kind face, and will not change because of his identity.

Because no matter which world he goes to, he will never forget his origin.

This is real empathy.

Regardless of soiling his expensive clothes, Li Yunze simply sat down on a wooden stake and asked the head of the family, "The autumn harvest is here. How is the family's income this year?"

The imperial decree of enfeoffment was written in the spring and March of the fourth year, but all kinds of preparations in Chang'an City, plus the time spent traveling along the way, arrived in Zhongshan Kingdom, and it was already autumn harvest time.

It is said that it is an autumn harvest, but it is actually more like a summer harvest, because the temperature rises and the crops mature earlier.

By the way, Liu Qi, Emperor Jingdi of the Han Dynasty, did not have a reign title, so as long as he ascended the throne, the number of years he ascended the throne is just a few years.

The year name will not appear until the piggy comes on stage later.

The old man was very nervous, first he secretly looked at the group of civil and military men standing behind Li Yunze, and then he responded bluntly.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and the weather is favorable. Each mu of land can't be worth one bushel or two buckets."

"Ha ha."

Li Yunze smiled and didn't speak. This kind of words was obviously taught in advance, but it was still honest, and he didn't say anything about the yield per mu.

China's food production has been increasing since the Warring States Period.

This is mainly due to the continuous selection of improved varieties, the construction of water conservancy, the application of new farm tools and so on.

Of course, the growth is limited. Since the millennium, the yield has basically been maintained at the level of more than one stone per mu, that is, more than one dendrobium.

As for the fact that there are only a few buckets in some areas, or that there are two or three dendrobiums in some areas, it is a special case.

Chatted with the old man for a little while, and asked about the family situation, living standards, local prices and so on.

After chatting, Li Yunze got up and asked his servant to reward the old man with a piece of silk, and then he set off to return to the city.

This kind of high-profile survey is enough once, first to find out the basic situation, listen to what the local civil and military people reported, and then compare them later.

Next, it's time for a private interview.

Not only Lu Nu, but also all parts of Zhongshan country have to travel once to understand the local conditions before they can make reasonable arrangements for follow-up work.

For example, where is suitable for farming and what to plant.Where is suitable for grazing and what to breed.Where is suitable for mining and coal mining, where is suitable for road construction, where can reservoirs be built, where can ferries be built and so on.

If you just sit in the palace and listen to the report below, then you are really laughing, you have to go over and see for yourself.

He did pass through Zhongshan country in other worlds before, but the vicissitudes of life, my family, time is the most ruthless knife to kill pigs. Hundreds or even thousands of years have passed, and things have changed.

Among other things, the Yellow River is still crystal clear at this time!
The next day, Li Yunze didn't leave.

It wasn't because the local civil servants came to the door and wanted to send their daughters and nieces into the palace as maids. Li Yunze, as a gentleman, of course sternly refused such a thing.

It's because he needs new pants.

Clothes in the Han Dynasty did not have a crotch. Simply put, they wore open crotch trousers with a closed crotch. This era was called poor trousers.

In order to avoid air leakage, it is necessary to wear a straight skirt outside, which is called a curved skirt in women's language.

The deep clothes with curved trains are actually unisex. The whole body is tight and narrow, and the sleeves can be wide or narrow.

Then there is the skirt, which is the most standard top and bottom skirt.

In the Han Dynasty, kneeling was used to sit, and the reason was also to cover it with the outer robe to avoid air leakage and unsightly appearance.

The open trousers of the Han Dynasty have no crotch and only two trouser legs, which is the kind worn by children in the modern world.

On the one hand, this kind of attire is convenient for cooling. After all, the temperature in this era is rising, and there is no means of cooling. After all, there is no air conditioner or electric fan.

Another reason is that the crotch-opening trousers are also convenient for freeing hands, and it is also very convenient when doing errands. The weapon and scabbard can be exposed by lifting the robe.

As the saying goes, the wind blows the skirt and the butt is cool, and that's what I'm talking about.

When Li Yunze went out to eat at night, seeing the people in the palace with their skirts puffed up was really irritating to his eyes, so he decided to settle this matter first before going to the countryside.

It doesn't make sense to transport materials directly from the modern world, you have to improve the technological level of this world.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to sew a crotch for the crotchless trousers. He summoned a group of women from the city to the palace to make trousers.

In this era, there were no clothing stores, and the clothes were all made at home, and even the weaving of clothes was done at home.

You can never find a tailor, you can only find these women who do needlework at home all the year round.

Then, news spread in Lunu City, and everyone said that the king is a good woman.
There are even many families who sigh and feel annoyed because their own wife was not selected.

The reason is simple, there are too many benefits of foreign relatives in Han Dynasty.

Naturally, there is no need to talk about the Lu family farther away, just look at the Dou family at this time.

The Dou family was originally just poor people in Qinghe County, but when Dou Yifang received the favor of Liu Heng, and Liu Heng entered Chang'an from Daiguo and became the emperor, the Dou family trembled.

Not only was his father posthumously named a marquis, but his mother was also named his wife.

The titles of Marquis and Madam in the Han Dynasty are not as good-sounding as later generations, but they have real benefits.

There are fiefdoms, food towns, private households, and privileges that have many benefits.

Dou Yifang's younger brother, Dou Guangguo, was originally abducted and sold into other people's homes as slaves, but once he recognized his relatives, he immediately received countless rewards and invited famous officials to be his teachers.

Since then, the Dou family has flourished and become a family that is admired by the whole world.

This is a living example right in front of you.

Although the King of Zhongshan only has eight counties, it is also the overlord of one party, right?

If you can't curry favor with the nobles in Chang'an City, if you can be the relative of Zhongshan King, you can also make a fortune.

This is the reason why there is a lot of discussion in Lunu City.

After Li Yunze learned of this, he really rolled his eyes angrily.

How can I be regarded as such a pervert when I am an upright and honest gentleman!
Besides, even if he really wanted to be a pervert, he couldn't find a woman.

Women these days are busy working all day long, and even go to the fields, their faces are haggard and rough, they are almost comparable to Rong Nunnies, this, this, this...
Without further ado, Li Yunze asked the women to leave the palace immediately after receiving the needlework and silk, and went back to his home to make new trousers.

The so-called new trousers have no technical content at all, they just increase the waist and crotch.

Then tie it around your waist with a rope.

In just one night, the women in the city rushed out thousands of trousers.

And their rewards are needles, threads and leftover fabrics.

Don't underestimate the thread of the needle, the needles these days are all hard-grinded, black and big. Ahem, anyway, that's what it means.

When sewing clothes, the eye of the needle is also very large, which looks ugly.

What Li Yunze provided was the needles processed by machines in the modern world, and the thread was also the thin thread of the modern world.

Women use it at home, it is really efficient and very beautiful.

After distributing the trousers to everyone in the palace, it is finally not necessary to hurt the eyes when the wind is blowing.

And this incident also set off a trend in Lunu City. In order to catch up with the fashion, many people also began to learn the style to make new trousers.

Smart businessmen sensed the business opportunity and went door to door to buy fine needles and threads of fine workmanship.

After preparing to ship to other places, sell it for a good price.

Seeing that the price offered by the merchant was high enough, the women were willing to sell the needles and threads in their hands.

The merchants in the Han Dynasty were all very intelligent.

Li Yunze didn't care about these things even if he knew about them.

With his entourage, he rode his horse away from Lu Nu and headed straight for the distance.

Li Yunze is going to see a real Zhongshan country.
