Rong Ji was stunned for a moment, then asked with interest: "Is it because it contains feelings?"
Xia Zhiyao bit her lower lip subconsciously, showing a look of reluctance. Did Yuan Suijun value Su Yueling so much? Is he a superficial man like other men who only looks at beauty but not at connotation?
Did she misjudge him?
Yuan Suijun said: "Not only because of the precious thoughts, but also because of the value of the hat itself."
"This hat is made of wool."
Rong Ji repeated: "Wool?"
He thought it was made of cotton thread and made into thick strips.
Yuan Suijun took off the hat, and Rong Ji took it, held it in the palm of his hand, and rubbed it gently.
Yuan Suijun said: "This woolen hat is warmer than cotton. Woolen thread can not only be woven into hats, but also into clothes."
In the past, the Di people mostly used wool to make wool felt. Rong Ji didn't expect that wool could be made into clothes, and it was warmer than cotton.
He couldn't help showing a look of joy, "Is it difficult to make this wool thread?"
Yuan Suijun said: "If you have a carding machine, it will not be difficult." He also saw the carding machine with his own eyes. If there were no drawings, it would still be difficult to copy it, at least more difficult than a pedal spinning wheel.
"Yue Ling spent a lot of effort to create the carding machine. She started studying this matter last year, and it was not until some time ago that the carding machine was successfully produced."
"Lushan Village has always been cold in winter, and Yue Ling has always been compassionate and compassionate, and she doesn't want to see the people suffering from the cold."
In Yuan Suijun's words, Su Yueling was about to become a saint who cared for the people and exuded holy light.
Su Yueling:......
She actually just wanted to be elegant in winter, and really didn't think too much about it.
Did she have such a majestic image in Yuan Suijun's mind? Su Yueling couldn't help but wonder if Yuan Suijun saw her with more than a dozen layers of filters, right?
However, Yuan Suijun's words really convinced everyone except Su Yueling.
Yuan Baoshu nodded repeatedly after hearing this - yes, her sister-in-law is so kind! She was eager to publicize her sister-in-law's goodness to everyone in the capital.
Others suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Yuan Suijun abandoned other hats and chose Su Yueling's one. He was right, this was indeed a hat worth tens of thousands of gold.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but said: "Yue Ling is indeed a good child with a pure and kind mind, so the Ai family loves her very much."
She has discernment! And Su Yueling is very filial. If she eats something delicious, she will have it sent to the palace, or the recipe will be given to her directly. As the woman with the highest status in the country, she has nothing else she lacks and values it.
It is this intention.
She turned around and snorted, "The Ai family knows that many people outside say that I love Yueling too much, but that's because Yueling deserves my love. They don't even look at themselves, can they compare to Yueling's 10%?
?”
Even if those people please her, it is just to gain benefits from her. The Queen Mother, who does not want to be a tool to build her reputation, naturally does not bother to talk to them. Anyway, her status is here, her own son is the emperor, and he is filial to her.
There is really no need to look at other people's faces.
The emperor originally had a good impression of Su Yueling because she used them to get the prince, but on the surface he could not reward Su Yueling for this. Now that the wool thread came out, he felt happy because he had found a chance.
He couldn't wait to say: "Su Yueling, the Lord of Weiguo County, is a virtuous and upright man with both political integrity and talent. He cares about the people. He is now canonized as the Lord of Weiguo County."
Although many people guessed that after the wool hat was taken out, the emperor would definitely reward Su Yueling, but no one expected that he would be given a title directly, and he would also be made the county lord, directly bypassing the county monarch.
Generally speaking, only the granddaughter of a county prince can be canonized as a county prince, and the daughter of a county prince can be canonized as a county head. Su Yueling's current status is equivalent to that of the daughter of a county prince, which is enough to kill most of the famous ladies in the capital.
No, in terms of status, she is even more noble than the daughter of the county prince. After all, most county heads do not have titles, let alone be given a food estate.
All the rules seemed to be non-existent in front of Su Yueling. For others, getting promoted to a noble title was as difficult as ascending to heaven. With her, it was as easy as eating and drinking.
In less than two years, she went from being an ordinary commoner to becoming the head of the county.
Xia Zhiyao could hardly hold back her expression. A piece of wool was not worthy of a saint canonizing her as the head of the county.
County Lord.
This status is much higher than Su Yueling imagined, which means that except for a few people, she basically does not need to salute others.
For this reason, Su Yueling knelt down and accepted the order.
However, the canonization is only verbal now. After Rong Ji returns to the palace, he will have to re-write the imperial edict and go through a series of procedures.
Su Yueling turned to look at Yuan Suijun, with a faint smile on his face.
No wonder Yuan Suijun was so determined to use this woolen hat today. Everything must have been as he expected.
Does this mean she's stealing Yuan Suijun's limelight?
Because the saint, the Queen Mother and others were present, the others did not congratulate Su Yueling on the spot. However, they had planned to prepare a generous gift after returning. Basically, they had no conflict of interest with Su Yueling, and they originally planned to be on good terms with Su Yueling.
Today's incident only deepened their thoughts.
But Xia Zhiyao was different. She was feeling extremely aggrieved. There was nothing more painful than watching someone she hated flourish.
In particular, Su Yueling's glamor and beauty made her look gray and sluggish.
To Rong Ji, nothing was as important as the wool thread. He immediately asked Su Yueling to show him.
Su Yueling took him to see the wool carding machine in another room. Shengnan put the cleaned wool into the carding machine and covered up Rong Ji.
"In fact, if there is iron, the efficiency will be higher. But ordinary people are afraid that they cannot afford iron carding machines."
"The wool produced can also be directly woven into woolen cloth."
Iron was controlled by the imperial court.
Rong Ji looked at the carding machine and felt that this thing looked unusually complicated. How smart was Su Yueling to be able to come up with this thing?
Yuan Suijun dismissed the other servants and servants and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."
"We don't need to let people raise sheep. We can buy wool from the Di people."
Rong Ji frowned, "Isn't this just letting them make money in vain?" He had a very bad impression of the Di people.
Yuan Suijun said: "The reason why the Di people rob the people on the border of our country is because they are poor. If they can easily make money, more and more Di people will raise sheep. In order to make good friends with Daxia, they will naturally
Give up the way you were doing it.”
"And the more they raise sheep, the fewer they raise war horses."
Su Yueling understood. Isn't this indirectly controlling the Di people through the economy?
As an ancient, Yuan Suijun could think of this immediately. Therefore, we cannot underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
Rong Ji's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and he is obviously attracted to this idea. After all, this method is very feasible, and it is also a conspiracy. As long as the Di people want to live a good life, even if they know the tricks involved, they will still take the initiative.
Come in.
"Write this down as soon as possible."
When Rong Ji thought that so many years of disputes might end in his hands, his heart was filled with excitement.
He looked at Yuan Suijun with a smile, "You have solved my worries and made great contributions. Is there any reward you want?"
Not long after he canonized Yuan Suijun, he also canonized Su Yueling today. He will definitely not be able to upgrade Yuan Suijun to a title in the short term. Otherwise, it will be like setting him on the fire.
Rong Ji then thought of compensating Yuan Suijun from other places.
"Can I accept any reward?"
Rong Ji said categorically: "Of course! As the emperor, I stick to my word."
Yuan Suijun glanced at Su Yueling and said, "Then can I ask for the right of Yueling not to kneel?"
"Her skin is delicate and gets red and swollen every time she kneels."
