Chapter 16 Family

The most important core of clothing design is two.

A process that expresses the beauty of the human body's curves.

Two, the process of color matching is reasonable.

Especially for women’s clothing, what type of clothing is the most popular in Zhou Ming’s world?

Long and short skirts, pleated skirts, dresses, princess skirts, tassel skirts, suspenders skirts, skirts, etc. The common feature of these skirts is that they highlight the graceful figure of women and their proud curves.

There are also stockings and high heels that set off the beautiful legs of women. There is no need to say much about the temptation of these two things. I guess someone started to think a lot when he heard these four words, and his nostrils were bleeding.

High heels are not difficult to make. If stockings can be developed, Zhou Ming will probably make a fortune.

However, the high-elastic materials for making stockings need to be synthesized by industrial methods. Ordinary velvet and other materials can also be made of stockings, but the thickness is difficult to make thin.

Zhou Ming had no strength in his hands, so he conducted a survey on this plane. If he could find natural materials with high elasticity, high toughness and lightness for the production of stockings, Zhou Ming would definitely be very happy.

But he didn't have any delusions for the time being. He didn't have stockings, but he contracted the aristocratic clothing market in this world with all kinds of styles of skirts, underwear, women's shoes, luggage...

Because the clothing design drawings he has in his hands have more than a million sets... If you don't have enough, you can find artificial intelligence designs.

Of course, half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a weirdo. Zhou Ming cannot directly apply modern clothing with increasingly exposed style to this relatively conservative plane... He has to make some localization-based modifications.

Based on local clothing, make some bold innovations.

So Zhou Ming took Lina to a clothing store specializing in aristocratic clothing and bought multiple sets of skirts and shoes that cost more than 100,300 gold coins.

Then he went to the fabric store to buy some high-end fabrics. When he returned to the apartment, Zhou Ming took Lina to start research.

Regarding clothing, Zhou Ming taught Lina a lot of things.

She told her advanced theories such as "Human Structure", "Principles of Clothing Design", "How to Match Colors"... These things were all obtained by Zhou Ming from the real world, and he explained clothing design very thoroughly. Some of these theories, no matter how fashion trends change, will never go out of date for a thousand years.

Lina has never been exposed to these knowledge before. Zhou Ming's explanation opened a door to her and the door to the top fashion designer.

She absorbed it hungrily and even recited some key points, and was as hard as her younger brother Henry.

Even in the middle of the night, Zhou Ming saw that she was still sewing clothes, her eyes were red and swollen, and her fingers were covered with needles.

Zhou Ming felt a little distressed. She worked so hard that it would take ten days and half a month to sew a piece of clothing, and the efficiency was too low.

"The work efficiency of the sewing machine is more than ten times that of a human being. I'll make a sewing machine for her."

Of course, with the world's industrial development level, a sewing machine with hundreds of parts is made, and it ensures that it is easy to use and labor-saving, with the probability of almost zero.

Fortunately, there is magic in this world.

Magic can do countless incredible things.

Especially after three days mastering the first-level fire magic - fireball surgery, I found through measurement that the average temperature of a fireball that was only big in the fist reached 1,500 degrees.

This temperature can melt steel.

Using fireball techniques, Zhou Ming can easily shape steel parts to ensure the quality and accuracy of each part.

By cooperating with a blacksmith shop, Zhou Ming spent ten days and a price of over 100 gold coins to successfully create the first sewing machine.

After using this sewing machine, Lina's sewing efficiency has increased by more than ten times.

It took her 10 days in total and she made an extremely gorgeous sky blue dress.

This skirt is not only exquisitely crafted, but also has a lot of weight reduced due to the cancellation of the skirt support structure.

A few words describe it as: lightweight, comfortable, gorgeous, and beautiful.

As a model, Lina, after wearing this dress and trying it, when she appeared in front of everyone, even though she was used to seeing the beautiful scenery, Zhou Ming was slightly lost for two seconds.

"Sister, you are so beautiful!"

Henry clapped and shouted, "My sister is so beautiful."

Lina smiled shyly, looked at Zhou Ming, and two blush appeared on her face, and she felt full of gratitude.

How could she have achieved such a result without the help of her husband?

Zhou Ming encouraged her to continue working hard, but he began to win over partners and prepare for the establishment of a clothing brand.

As usual, the first partner he thought of was Lilith, a female classmate who had formed a tacit understanding.

But this time, when he found Lilith and said that he was going to enter the field of clothing and wanted to make noble clothing, Lilith glanced at him, then shook his head and refused him.

Zhou Ming was shocked and confused, asking why he was unwilling to cooperate?

Is it because I am not interested in the field of clothing?

"No, my family won't let me get you too close, because... you are from the Leilin family."

Lilith hesitated and looked embarrassed, and finally told Zhou Ming the real reason.

"So that's the case?"

Zhou Ming suddenly realized and nodded immediately.

Understood.

He fully understood.

To put it bluntly, among the noble class of the royal capital, the Leilin family was not favored and was seriously excluded.

Including him, the servant of the Lei Lin family, is also among the "unwelcome".

Why?

What exactly did the Leilin family do that makes people resentful, which makes them so unpopular?

Combined with the remaining memories in the brain and the rumors about his family that he had found, Zhou Ming roughly understood the reason.

Loyal King Party.

His family is one of the few loyal royal factions in the kingdom.

Moreover, in three hundred years, it has been reused by the king three times and has implemented some reforms to consolidate the royal power.

For example, county reforms, increasing the amount of tax paid by the lords, levying commercial taxes in full... Without exception, these reform measures consolidated the royal power and greatly damaged the interests of the nobles.

It was met with a large number of opposition and boycotts.

But the Leilin family must firmly implement the reform.

As a result, the three heads of the Leilin family, one died of assassination, one died of food poisoning, and one died on the battlefield in a war against foreign countries...all of them were unable to die well.

All three reforms failed.

Zhou Ming's father, Cohen Lelin, was summoned and valued by the king, and before he could initiate reforms, he was attacked by political enemies and exiled to the southern swamp.

Depending on the situation, there is no possibility of turning back.

The exile of the Leilin family marked the decline of the Zhongwang Party, which almost all of the forces in the kingdom.

In fact, from Zhou Ming's perspective, for a kingdom like the Kingdom of Adude, which has existed for thousands of years, the weakening of royal power is a historical necessity. Even if several wise and powerful kings will emerge, it is impossible to achieve centralization.

Because the lord's feudal system determined that the king's rule was limited to a small area in the kingdom.

Most lords will abide by some obligations, but more requirements are unlikely to be met.

Resources are fixed and limited, and the royal family's pursuit of money and land will increase with the increase of royal members. Over time, the king will definitely try his best to strengthen his power and gain more benefits.

But are the lords willing to give their land and population to satisfy the king's appetite and needs?

Of course it is impossible.

The lords have limited land resources and they don’t have enough of them. How could they give some to the royal family?

In the final analysis, when resources are insufficient, no lord is willing to cut his losses to meet the needs of the royal family.

Foreign wars can seize land and interests, but the kingdoms around the Kingdom of Yadu are not weak. Beating them will only lead to both sides suffering from losses... Internal conflicts cannot be transferred abroad.

In this case, the king hopes that families like the Leilin family will stand up and win some benefits for the royal family.

but……

"It's just a foolish loyalty. How can the power of the nobles joining forces be able to resist the loyal royal parties? In the eyes of the king, the loyalty of the Leilin family is just a tool that can be used, and it was destined to be sacrificed from the beginning."

"If it were me, I would never have used my family's lives to exchange for the increase in the king's interests. That would be too stupid. It would be better to make the profit cake bigger and make you happy and I happy everyone."

Of course, a great country does require centralization, but it depends on the comprehensive quality of the supreme leader and the subsequent successors, whether the "wise ruler tradition" can be maintained well.

But according to Zhou Ming's observation, in the feudal society where the king's power is concentrated, the faster the king's power will perish and weaken, and it will never exceed 300 years. The reason is that there is no other reason. The probability of a tyrant is too high. It is often the previous emperor who created a prosperous era, and the next emperor will destroy the king... Absolute power, absolute corruption, collapse is faster.

A lord-feudal state like Adud, which has a history of more than a thousand years, is everywhere in the human world of the Azeroa continent.

And the longer it exists, the weaker the royal power will be.

It's basically irrescueable.

Zhou Ming would not be so stupid as to stand in the same team as his family and be the cannon fodder party.

However, because his surname is Leilin, it is impossible to draw a clear line with the Leilin family. Since the Rudolph family behind Lilith is unwilling to cooperate with him, he goes to find someone else.

Zhou Ming also found a suitable partner - the Torres family behind female classmate Betty.

The main area of ​​business of the Torres family is aristocratic clothing, with thousands of professional tailors and half of the aristocratic clothing market in the royal capital.

Female classmate Betty is one of the most gorgeous dresses among all female classmates. Her clothes are different every day, and the popular styles in the upper-class circle always appear from her.

Moreover, she is proud, like a white swan, always looking at people with her nostrils. Zhou Ming said she wanted to find her to cooperate with her. She looked disdainful and said impatiently: "My cake teacher classmate, you should make your magic cake well. Don't come in the clothing field anymore. The clothes you designed will not be worn by anyone."

Zhou Ming smiled slightly, took out a set of design drawings from his pocket, and stubbornly asked Betty for advice.

Betty, who was impatient by him, listened to the flattery and reluctantly looked through the costume design draft.

Her eyes lit up as soon as she opened the first page.

After that, Zhou Ming and the Torres family cooperated successfully.

Betty takes out tailors, machines and stores, accounting for 50% of the shares.

Zhou Ming gave out 100,000 gold coins, technology and design drawings, accounting for 48% of the shares.

As the chief designer, Lina is a 2% stake in all clothing design, personnel management and store operations instead of Zhou Ming.

The agreement was reached that a clothing brand store called "Menglan" will open in a bustling street in the royal capital soon.
