Looking at Situ Heng, Long Lin thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Having a capable assistant is indeed a very good thing.
"Master Situ, the various research institutes have basically been finalized. It is up to you to select the talents who will be admitted here."
"If this matter needs to be done quickly, I will entrust you to handle it all."
Situ Heng saw Long Lin getting up and stood up respectfully at the same time.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will take care of this matter in the next few days."
Long Lin bid farewell to Situ Heng and left the Ministry of Industry.
The majority of the institute is in the Ministry of Industry, but there are some other things that are also very important.
Food, clothing, housing, and transportation, there is still one thing missing, clothing.
When Long Lin thought of clothing, he thought of the Ministry of Etiquette.
There are many experts in making clothes in the Ministry of Rites, and the clothes of the imperial court are made by these people in the Ministry of Rites.
Apart from anything else, these official uniforms are indeed brightly made, with smooth lines and beautiful embroidery.
Moreover, Long Lin attached great importance to clothing. This was the most important thing to bring when going on missions in the future, and it was no worse than tea and porcelain.
Not only that, school affairs are also very important.
Now that the institute has basically reached a conclusion, it is time to resolve the school affairs.
After leaving the Ministry of Industry, Long Lin went directly to the Ministry of Rites.
All the way to the hut, Long Lin opened the door and walked in.
Fang Pu was among them and stood up immediately after seeing him.
Long Lin waved his hand, signaling Fang Pu to be polite and sit down.
"Master Fang, have all the matters at the National Medical Research Institute been settled?"
"Back to Your Highness, everything has been arranged. Four officials from the Ministry of Rites have been sent to the Institute of Chinese Medicine and are compiling books."
Long Lin smiled, very satisfied.
He knew this matter well, he had already learned about it from Long Ye, but he just asked casually.
"Master Fang, I came here specifically to discuss something with you."
"Your Highness, please speak."
Long Lin nodded.
"Master Fang, I have finalized most of the research institutes, and there are some free spaces. I will add them in the future."
"There are still a few things left to do, including the production of costumes and school matters."
Fang Pu was a little surprised when he heard this, but still nodded.
"Your Highness, the clothing you are talking about? What kind of clothing are you referring to?"
After Long Lin thought for a while, he spoke directly.
"Master Fang, I think there are roughly the following types."
"The first type is the costumes of the court officials, guards, etc."
"These costumes are used by the imperial court. The production process must be extremely strict. Of course, I believe that the materials used are also very precious."
Fang Pu nodded, this is what the court needs, so naturally he wants the best.
"Your Highness, the official uniforms of the imperial court are all produced by our Ministry of Etiquette."
"The place where clothes are made is in a courtyard outside the palace. Everything inside is restricted by the Ministry of Rites."
Long Lin nodded, he was no stranger.
"That's just one thing. Also, your father has to carry a lot of clothing every time he goes on a mission."
"I was not prepared for the first time and was in a hurry, so the clothes your father brought were not particularly exquisite and could only be regarded as barely adequate."
"After your father returns, you must prepare these costumes in advance for the next mission."
"The production process of these costumes cannot be inferior to that of official uniforms, but the style must be changed to suit what the people wear."
As soon as Long Lin said this, Fang Pu nodded immediately.
He had witnessed when his father prepared many things, and he was very clear about many things.
Time was tight at that time, everything was prepared in a hurry, and those costumes were indeed not particularly good.
And the quantity carried is actually not that much.
There are many clothes in different sizes, and people who are too tall or too short cannot wear them at all.
These are still minor issues.
The important thing is that those costumes do not make people feel particularly bright, and many of them are ordinary folk costumes.
"Your Highness, what do you mean? How should we prepare? And what kind of clothes should we prepare?"
Long Lin waved his hand and smiled.
"Master Fang, don't be anxious, listen to me slowly."
"These clothes for missions must be gorgeous enough to make others feel like they want to own them when they see them."
"In addition to the clothes you need to carry with you as an envoy, we, the people of the imperial court, also need to have enough clothes to wear."
"So, you need to have very ordinary clothes, but you also need to have noble clothes that are suitable for dignitaries."
Fang Pu thought for a while and nodded.
"Your Highness, there are people making these clothes among the people. They are small households. The excess clothes will be sold."
"Not only that, there are also some clothing shops among the people that rush to make clothes."
Long Lin nodded, he had seen it when passing by.
"Master Fang, you should understand that people who make clothes among the people are businessmen, and most businessmen only pursue profits."
"And what I thought was completely different."
Fang Pu nodded, the businessman must be pursuing profit.
"Then Your Highness, what should we do?"
Long Lin knocked on the table.
"We must do practical things for the people, so that they can have enough clothes to wear."
When Fang Pu heard this, he smiled. This starting point was a good thing.
"But, Your Highness, when we make clothes in large quantities, we will use a lot of labor and materials. If we cannot make ends meet, the court will definitely not agree."
After hearing this, Long Lin shook his head.
"Master Fang, don't think about things too complicated, otherwise you won't be able to implement them."
"This is something that will be realized in the future, not now."
"When I established the Clothing Research Institute, my first priority was to study how to produce more clothing, and how to produce clothing that is very low-cost but looks good."
"High-grade clothing, medium-grade clothing, low-grade clothing, all kinds of clothing, this is what the institute has to do."
"To make a large number of clothes, we still need to put them into the clothes workshop."
After hearing this, Fang Pu understood what Long Lin meant.
These are two things, one is the research of clothing, and the other is the mass production of clothing.
The two things are closely related, but they can also be done separately.
"Your Highness, I understand what you mean."
"First set up a clothing research institute, let the skilled craftsmen who make clothing do research, and then put it into the workshop for mass production."
Long Lin nodded, that's it.
"Yes, that's it, do it separately."
"If the cost of making clothing is low enough, the selling price of the clothing will become lower, which is a good thing for the people."
"Proceed little by little, and there will always be a time when the benefits will reach the whole world."
After hearing this, Fang Pu smiled. The current matter was the research institute.
"Your Highness, I understand. I will arrange the matters in the institute."
Long Lin nodded. After establishing a research institute, he was considering how to mass-produce it.
