Chapter 512 Xun Yu: Uncle Emperor, can I learn from you?
Chapter 543
Xun Yu was shocked in his heart.
Something seems to be broken in my heart, and it suddenly becomes clear!
Uncle Huang is right.
To judge whether a person is Chinese or not, we should not just look at his appearance, but also look at his inner self.
Although he is not a Han on the surface, but he speaks Chinese, obeys Han etiquette, identifies with the Han and China, and does these things personally, then he is a real Han!
On the contrary, some people are Han on the surface, but are barbarians in their hearts, and do things that harm China and the Han people. Then these people are either Han or barbarians!
For barbarians who follow Han rites, are devoted to the Han, and want to become Han people, we really cannot continue to treat them as barbarians and can be given the status of Han people!
The emperor's uncle really has a big mind and courage!
This point alone directly surpasses many people!
"Uncle Emperor, you are right, there is really no need to hold it to such a high standard, and the identity of the barbarian cannot be fixed.
For example, some Huns, some Huns, speak and talk like this. In fact, they are no different from the Han people, and they identify with the Han people very much in their hearts..."
Xun Yu cupped his hands at Liu Cheng.
"If someone like Uncle Huang had appeared earlier, I'm afraid things here in Liangzhou wouldn't have been delayed until now..."
Liu Cheng smiled and shook his head and said: "There is no need to put such a high hat on me, I am just a lucky guy..."
Xun Yu didn't know what Liu Cheng really meant, so he smiled and said: "Luck is one aspect, and strength is a bigger aspect.
If you don’t have strength, even if the tide of the times comes, you will be wiped out by everyone.”
Liu Cheng smiled and stopped talking to Xun Yu about this matter.
The two talked like this for a while, and Xun Yu said again: "Uncle Emperor, with this decree of yours, big problems can indeed be solved.
But there still have to be other things to coordinate with.
The most important of these is stomach problems.
As long as the stomach problem can be solved, many problems will be solved.
Even if there are some problems in the rest of the world, as long as they are not too serious, there will not be a large-scale rebellion."
Saying this, Xun Yu sighed again.
“This is easy to say, but the most difficult thing to solve is the stomach problem.
Previously, even in relatively stable places like Yizhou, many people did not have enough to eat, and many people died of hunger.
It was only after you, the emperor's uncle, conquered Yizhou and implemented a series of measures that this matter improved greatly.
Here in Liangzhou, the situation is more complicated.
The composition of the population is complex.
Living habits are different.
Compared with Yizhou's wealth, it is generally poorer.
And the living habits are different...
Not all land is suitable for planting.
Some are indeed suitable for grazing.
The Qiang people are also accustomed to herding.
It's better for them to graze this large piece of grassland, otherwise it will be a big waste...
However, their grazing is even more unstable. When a white snow falls, the livestock will die in large numbers and suffer heavy losses.
If you are caught in a crisis, you must come out to rob and plunder, otherwise you will not be able to survive.
The Han people living in the surrounding areas generally have a certain amount of savings because they are farmers, and have a stronger ability to withstand disasters than those who herd animals.
Will become their target...
On weekdays, their lives are as long as they can go on, everything is easy to say, but once they are so hungry that they can't stand it, then...
Since then, conflicts between Han and Qiang people are still easy to occur."
This is what Xun Yu is most worried about.
It was also the most troublesome place for him.
Because faced with this situation, he had no good solution.
Although some methods have been thought of, at most they can only alleviate the problem slightly and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
This problem is the most fundamental reason for Liangzhou’s problem.
The conflicts between Hu and Han are all secondary. In the final analysis, stomach problems are still in charge.
If these Qiang people and Han people can have enough to eat, then there will be much less fighting and robbing...
However, this problem is also the most difficult to solve.
In his opinion, it is simply an unsolvable problem.
The Han people can rely on farming to relieve their stress, but most of the Qiang people are herders...
He asked this question and looked at Liu Cheng.
I look forward to hearing different solutions from Liu Cheng, so that this matter can be solved in a more complete way.
After such a long time, he has already known that Uncle Liu Huang in front of him is not only skilled in fighting, but also involved in many other things.
He seems to know a little bit about everything.
It is said that women even know how to give birth to children, how to let a rooster hatch chicks, and how to raise the hatched chicks...
Liu Chengxin was very happy that Xun Yu could raise this question and see the essence of the matter.
I also have many emotions in my heart.
Indeed, in this day and age, many problems are stomach problems.
As long as the stomach problem can be solved, many problems will be solved.
And the person who can solve this matter will also become the king of this era and win the world!
There are still many people in Guanzhong and Yizhou who don't have enough to eat, but at least they have food to eat and will no longer starve to death. The tragic human tragedy of starving to death thousands of miles away, with ten houses and nine empty houses, and people eating each other.
At this point, a large number of people in Guanzhong and Yizhou admired Liu Cheng so much that countless people worshiped him in his shrine.
If we can enable everyone in the world to eat, live a relatively stable life, and become the common master of the world, it will be a sure thing.
People in this era have such low demands.
This shows how people in this era lived their lives in the past.
Facing Xun Yu's inquiry, Liu Cheng organized his language and said, "I do have some ideas on this."
When Xun Yu heard this, he suddenly felt happy.
What I thought was indeed correct, the emperor really had a solution!
"My idea is simple, it's trade.
Establish fair and reasonable trade with the Qiang people.
They don't farm, but they can get what they want through trade..."
When Xun Yu heard this, he was stunned, feeling that the emperor's uncle did not say this.
Trade between the Qiang people and the Han people has always existed.
Even if there were some unfair aspects in the previous trade, if you solve it and make it fair now, the effect it can have is very limited, and it cannot effectively solve this problem.
After all, the Qiang people also have a certain number of cattle and sheep, and there is a certain limit to the amount that can be traded every year.
Generally speaking, they just exchange some pots, bowls, salt and other things...
Liu Cheng naturally saw Xun Yu's doubts. He did not speak directly, but smiled and said: "Wen Ruo, take a look at this."
As he spoke, he took out something from a box and handed it to Xun Yu.
This is a piece of cloth, a piece of cloth that looks very rough.
The texture is not even as good as linen.
However, it is thicker and feels warm in the hand.
It is extremely effective in keeping out the wind and cold.
This kind of fabric was something Xun Yu had never seen before.
He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, then brought it to his nose and smelled it, pulled out some fluff from it, and looked at it carefully.
After a moment, he looked up at Liu Cheng and said with some uncertainty: "Uncle Emperor, is this cloth made of wool?"
After asking this question, he suddenly remembered that when he was in Yushan, the emperor's uncle seemed to have asked someone to get some wool, but he didn't know what to use it for.
At that time, his thoughts were all on world affairs, as well as Hua Tuo and his companions researching new medicines, treating Huang Xu, etc.
I didn't pay much attention to such strange little things as wool.
At this moment, seeing the cloth in front of me, my heart moved, I completely remembered this matter, and felt some unusual meaning from it.
Liu Cheng smiled and nodded: "It's made of wool.
What do Wenruo think of this cloth?"
Xun Yu said: "This cloth is very thick, but the workmanship is a bit rough. If you wear it close to your body, it may make you itchy.
However, the effect of keeping out the cold is very good.
If the price is not expensive, it will definitely be loved by the public!"
Saying this, Xun Yu's eyes became brighter.
He has thought of many things.
Liu Cheng smiled and took out something from the box again.
This was a piece of clothing, but it was made of different materials than any other clothing Xun Yu had seen before.
There is a certain difference from the cloth made of wool in his hand.
But it can be seen that this dress is also made of wool.
"Wen Ruo, look at this again."
Liu Cheng said and handed the sweater into Xun Yu's hand.
Xun Yu took it and looked at it carefully.
It feels softer than the wool cloth in your hand.
When I hold it in my hand, it feels very warm.
It's just that the thread is a little too thick, causing the clothing to not be tight.
If you hold it with your hands and pull it a little, you can see many small holes.
I'm afraid that this thing is not as good as the cloth in my hand to protect me from the wind, and it won't keep me warm when I wear it.
"Uncle Emperor, could this be another kind of cloth made of wool?"
Xun Yu looked at Liu Cheng and asked, his eyes shining brightly.
Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "It is cloth, but it is not cloth."
What he said was a bit confusing, and Xun Yu was confused as to what the emperor's uncle meant.
It made him feel that the emperor's uncle had said this but not yet.
"It's made of this kind of stuff."
Amidst Xun Yu's doubts, Liu Cheng once again took out two things from the box to explain to Xun Yu.
Then, Xun Yu looked even more confused.
Because the thing Liu Cheng took out was made of two bamboo sticks, with two pointed smooth sticks, and the other one was a ball of thick thread.
It can be seen that this thick thread is made of the same material as the clothes I hold in my hand.
Xun Yu could understand that the clothes in his hands were made of this kind of thread.
However, he couldn't figure out how to make this kind of thread into clothes.
Ordinarily, wouldn’t the threads be woven into cloth first and then the cloth be used to make clothes?
With this thought in his mind, he lowered his head and carefully looked at the clothes in his hands again.
Then I discovered the difference.
No matter what the material is, the cloth is woven vertically and horizontally, and the warp and weft are intertwined.
But the cloth of the clothes in my hands doesn’t look like this!
It has its own arrangement pattern, but it is not loose and very solid.
There are even two words on the front of the clothes - big man.
If you look carefully, you will see that this character is not printed or dyed, but is directly made of yellow thread.
But around this word, there was no trace of stitching.
It looks like it is a whole with the surrounding cloth.
In addition to seeing this, Xun Yu immediately made new discoveries.
That is, the two sleeves of the clothing, as well as the body part of the clothing, are complete, and not even a trace of stitching can be found.
There are only some marks where the two sleeves connect to the shoulders on the body.
When will it be possible to weave cylindrical cloth?
Xun Yu only felt that his mind was filled with question marks.
He was confused by the strange style of the clothes Liu Cheng took out, with unusual clothes appearing everywhere.
Using that thread ball and two bamboo sticks, you can make such clothes?
Soon, Liu Chenggong used his actual actions to prove to Xun Yu that it was really possible.
But you need to add two more bamboo sticks.
Two can only weave a flat surface, while four can weave a cylinder...
Xun Yu's mouth opened wide as he watched the two bamboo needles move back and forth with the flexible movement of Liu Cheng's hands, and the threads gradually connected together.
His eyes were full of shock.
I was not only surprised that the uncle's hands, which made people frightened when they went into battle, were so dexterous, but also surprised that the uncle actually mastered such a method of weaving cloth with only one thread!
In his opinion, this is no different from magic.
It’s truly amazing!
"Uncle Emperor, how, how can we make this kind of cloth connect into one and become a cylinder?"
After watching this for a while, Xun Yu swallowed his saliva and looked at Liu Cheng's question.
Liu Chengcheng pulled out the bamboo stick, then pulled the thread with his hand, and a nice and regular sound came out.
The 'cloth' woven with wool quickly disappeared and returned to the intact string from before.
It looked very comfortable when it was dismantled, and Xun Yu almost wanted to dismantle it himself...
After taking it apart, Liu Cheng took out two bamboo sticks again, and his fingers moved flexibly again.
Soon, a cylinder was woven.
Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Cheng's flexible fingers, without blinking, his heart was filled with wonder, and some... eagerness to try!
"Uncle Emperor, this thing is so amazing! Can I learn it?"
After doing this for a while, Xun Yu finally couldn't help it anymore, looked at Liu Cheng, and said this.
Hearing this, Liu Cheng smiled and said: "I am planning to pass this thing on. If Wen Ruo is interested, of course he can."
When Xun Yu heard this, he smiled and immediately started impatiently learning it.
Then, the style of painting changed a bit.
Originally, the two were discussing how to solve the problem of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, but who would have thought that now they would start studying knitting sweaters here...
