On the eve of Mother's Day, Xu Chen spent most of his time in the garment factory, guiding and supervising the production of the first batch of uniforms and leather armors.
The little witches and Ye are very interested. They take time to visit the garment factory every day and even learn how to make it.
With the participation of a group of witches and leaves, the garment factory is very lively every day, which also attracts many men, women and children from the vicinity of the royal city to come to the garment factory to watch. People come and go in the palace square almost every day, discussing these colors.
The brightly dyed cloth, the face full of excitement and excitement.
The first batch of products produced were several sets of official uniforms and officer uniforms. The styles were not much different, but there were slight differences between the official uniforms and the uniforms of the Forbidden Army. They used fold-down collars, buttons, long sleeves, and cowhide belts similar to those of suits.
There are also two pockets on the left and right sides of the waist.
For the time being, these clothes are only made into outerwear, not underwear.
According to the nature of clothing worn by primitive people, they would generally only wear one piece. Whether or not there are pants underneath is a question. However, these are not things Xu Chen considers. After all, everything has a beginning. Things like wearing clothes are very important to these people.
For primitive people, it only lasted seven or eight years at most.
Therefore, his requirements are not high. It is enough that these officials serving the royal city can wear clothes as required every day. If they don't walk around shirtless and buttocks, it will be regarded as a successful transformation.
According to the level, official uniforms and uniforms are divided into three colors. Black is the chief official level of each department in the royal city.
There are not many at the moment, because the important departments are all held by a group of witches. They have their own witch skirts, which are basically white uniforms with patterns and cloaks. Therefore, the only ones who can wear black uniforms are Feng Helong and Lei from the Military and Political Hall.
A general at the commanding level.
The green ones are the officials of the sub-department, including the clan leaders and hunter officers of various tribes, including Gu Heju, etc.
Blue are ordinary low-level officials, including heads of various clans and managers of some workshops, as well as some assistant-level figures selected by various departments in the royal city.
As for red, it is mainly used for some special personnel, and is mainly used for decoration such as cloaks and cloaks to represent status, rather than being made into clothes. After all, wearing red clothes is too showy, especially for men.
Only great witches can wear yellow nowadays. Of course, Xu Chen also made himself a yellow suit. After all, the witch king represents the highest power. In addition, wearing a yellow robe has always been the dream of all men in ancient China. It doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not. The important thing is that it can be done.
Satisfy Xu Chen's desire to show off.
Although all these primitive savages cannot understand.
But as long as he understands it, that's fine.
After these new official uniforms and uniforms were made, Xu Chen summoned Feng, Long, Lei, Gao, Ju, Gu, Ju, etc. to a group of high school-level officials to distribute the trial results of the official uniforms.
So, just above the palace hall, a group of wild men with hairy bodies took off all their clothes, and then very excitedly put on the official uniforms they had received.
Perhaps the best explanation is to look like a monkey and wear a crown.
But after a group of guys slowly put on their clothes, their feelings changed a lot in an instant.
These sets of clothes were actually measured and customized according to the height and body shape of these guys, so the effect of wearing them on the body is obvious, and they all fit very well.
Coupled with the strict cutting and sewing process under the guidance and supervision of Xu Chen, these clothes are not as dirty and wrinkled as the clothes usually worn by a group of people, but are very straight.
In addition, paired with darker and more stable colors, a group of wild men suddenly transformed, making Xu Chen feel like he was in a civilization that traveled through time and space in later generations. What he saw in front of him was no longer a group of wild men, but a group of fully evolved humans.
Humanity.
However, this illusion was quickly broken.
Because a group of guys who had changed their clothes started to scream, point at each other and laugh, the civilized and serious atmosphere disappeared instantly.
Xu Chen's face turned dark, he covered his face and looked up to the sky, sighing for a long time, and then led a group of people out of the hall.
At this time, hundreds of people had gathered outside the hall.
Not only the people from the garment factory were there, but the three little witches were also waiting with a group of students from the temple. Ye was pushing his daughter in a stroller among them, and there were a large group of other men, women, and children who they didn't know and came to watch the fun after hearing the news.
Seeing a group of men wearing new official uniforms following Xu Chen out, the chatter and chatter suddenly fell silent.
"Wow, your new clothes look great!"
A moment later, an exclamation of surprise rang out from the crowd, which then caused a violent commotion. The crowd swarmed forward and soon a group of people gathered on the steps in front of the palace hall.
Many people couldn't help but reach out and touch a group of guys.
"Don't touch it, or you'll get slapped!" Someone raised a furry fist like a bear's paw.
Of course, some people couldn't help but twist their bodies in a very disgusting way to show off their new clothes to the onlookers.
I have no idea whether it looks good or not. The main thing is that I enjoy the envious eyes and emotions.
After letting a group of guys who turned into models display in the palace square for half an hour, Xu Chen took a group of guys to the garment factory, then called a group of women who were sewing clothes, and showed them the upper body of the clothes next to each other.
effects, and then point out some of the shortcomings that need improvement.
These clothes are indeed considered careful and well-made at the moment, but there are still many problems, especially the collar, sleeves and waist position. These are the first time this new design style is used, so the cutting and sewing are not very good.
It's pretty good, but still has a lot of room for improvement.
Of course, Xu Chen didn't expect that the next batch of clothes could completely solve the problem, but at least he wanted them to know where the problem was and then slowly solve it.
With the distribution of the first batch of official uniforms and uniform samples, the news spread quickly, and after these first batch of guys wearing official uniforms and uniforms officially appeared in the royal city, it also caused a huge sensation.
These novel clothes of different colors and styles quickly became a hot topic of discussion among the tribes near the royal city, and even once overshadowed the upcoming Mother's Day conference.
Next, the main task of the garment factory is to start making the uniforms of the imperial army, while the official uniforms will be postponed.
After Xu Chen arranged the work tasks in the garment factory, he went to the dyeing workshop again.
In the past few days, the dye house has purchased a lot of dye plants of various colors and is seizing the time to process them.
In several large and small soaking tanks, the dye liquor that accumulated the sour smell of fermentation last time has been cleaned out, and the dye liquor that has been chopped, rotten, squeezed and filtered has been added again.
These liquids look much cleaner and the colors are more pure. The red, yellow, blue and green look like real pools of paint, but the quantity is too small. You can get one or two basins of dye liquid in one day.
It takes a lot of time to fill the soaking tank, and the demand for dye plants and mineral pigments will be greater.
Men, women, and children from various tribes near the royal city also took advantage of the time when plants grew vigorously in summer to collect and excavate various dye plants for sale. Therefore, the dyeing shop was full of people all day long, and Qi Yi also brought a group of people with her.
Men and women are very busy all day long.
However, although the temperature is getting higher day by day, the smell of the dyeing shop has become much clearer, unlike the sour smell that could make people stun like the first time.
There were still five days left before Mother's Day. Xu Chen summoned the little witch, two witches from the Gonghuo tribe and the Five Ghost tribe, as well as the hunter officers and chiefs of the tribes near the royal city, etc., to hold a meeting in the palace hall to discuss the matter of Mother's Day.
arrange.
According to last year's plan, this Mother's Day, all tribes will no longer lead all married men and women to the Ba tribe to participate in traditional marriage sacrifice exchanges. Instead, each tribe will have their respective great witches convene the alliance tribes to hold a unified ceremony as before.
On the Mother's Day, people can communicate with each other and get married nearby. Those near the royal city can go to the temple to receive blessings from the high priest and witches.
As for going to the Ba Nationality Mother Temple to worship the First Mother Goddess and the Eye of God Altar, the time will be ten days later.
There is nothing we can do about this, because the tribes are too scattered and the transportation is very inconvenient. In addition, the distance between the Ba tribe and Gonghuo Basin is too far, and there is simply no time in one day.
Perhaps Xu Chen will build a temple of his late mother in the royal city in the future, and even promote the construction of such temples or shrines with the nature of a church to host wedding and sacrificial ceremonies in each core tribe, but the opportunity is not mature yet.
He did not want the divine power to advance the layout of the royal power.
Therefore, he will wait until the political structure of each tribe and gathering area is slowly completed before promoting the completion of this matter.
At that time, the trained new witches will return to each tribe. These new witches will shoulder the responsibility of doctors and knowledge dissemination, and will also perform various sacrifices and wedding activities. Farming, taxation, hunter training, order maintenance, etc. will be carried out by the clan leaders and leaders respectively.
This was accomplished by the military officer class, thus completely separating the divine power from the royal power.
The temple is responsible for medical treatment, sacrifice and cultural education, and the palace manages specific production, life and military activities.
In this way, divine power must be attached to the existence of royal power, and it can no longer lead everything as a spiritual leader as before.
The arrangements for Mother's Day were already discussed last year, so all tribes will comply with them this year, and there is no need to send people to notify them.
As for the future arrangements, Xu Chen only has one idea, and he will not announce it directly. When the time comes, he will arrange it slowly and everything will fall into place.
Although according to the plan, all alliance ethnic groups will not gather on a large scale for intermarriage and exchanges this year.
However, some tribes near the Gonghuo Basin still rushed to the royal city with many young men and women before Mother's Day. Even hundreds of people from the Ji and Cang tribes in the upper reaches of the Ji Cang River came. Not only were there young men and women participating in marriages,
He also brought a lot of goods to prepare for trading.
Coupled with the more than 2,000 people from the Gonghuo Clan, the Five Ghost Clan and dozens of other large and small tribes who have moved to the vicinity of the royal city, Gonghuo Pi has become much more lively than usual.
