Zhu Jingyuan adjusted his mentality and assigned tasks to the craftsmen.
Each ordinary craftsman is responsible for one or two things, and the Royal Clothing Company all makes another one:
“Get it done as soon as possible, preferably within five days, because I might be leaving in five days.
“If these craftsmen do well, they can come to my business as managers in the future.
"The remuneration and income will be at least 30% higher than what you have now."
Five days is not a long time. If it is a traditional Thai and Western dress, this time may not be enough.
But Zhu Jingyuan's new suits are all of the simplest tailoring, and five days is enough.
Just put down other tasks and do Zhu Jingyuan's work first.
The craftsmen listened to the previous instructions and subconsciously agreed.
Zhu Jingyuan's last two sentences shocked all the craftsmen.
Except for Chu Yuqiang, the existing craftsmen either opened their own small shops or worked as workers or managers in large shops.
If you go to Zhu Jingyuan, the prince's business firm, to be a manager, your status will be much higher than it is now, and the key rewards will also be raised at the same time.
These Boer or mixed-blood Boer craftsmen could not refuse Zhu Jingyuan's proposal, and they all agreed quickly with some excitement.
Chu Yuqiang stood aside, waiting for their excitement to subside slightly, and carefully asked the last question:
"Your Highness, whose body measurements are used as the standard for making these clothes? Are they all your own?"
In this strange era, in Thailand, high heels were worn by both men and women, and in Ming Dynasty, skirts were also a typical male clothing design.
In the eyes of craftsmen of this era, these extremely simple clothes designed by Zhu Jingyuan, except for the capitalist suit, have no clear characteristics that can distinguish the gender of the audience.
So Chu Yuqiang asked this question.
Zhu Jingyuan was also a little stunned. He could try on the men's clothes in these clothes, but he couldn't just wear them by himself.
If you put it on yourself, you won't be able to see the overall effect. The key is that there are many women's clothes.
After a brief thought, Zhu Jingyuan made arrangements:
"Except for the skirt and high heels, give me a complete set of everything else and make me leather shoes with normal soles.
"All the clothes, accessories, shoes, make one set for each of sisters An Xiaona and Luo Feiya..."
Chu Yuqiang and the craftsmen immediately agreed.
After Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, he immediately realized that An Xiaona was still a child, especially Luo Feiya, who was only ten years old and it was inappropriate to wear high heels.
The key is that high heels are not suitable with a preppy suit, nor are high heels with a pleated skirt.
So Zhu Jingyuan picked up the pen again:
"I'll draw a few more drawings, and you can have them made together..."
Zhu Jingyuan drew the typical uniform-style leather shoes. Now that he had a pleated skirt and such leather shoes, he also drew the sailor uniform.
In order to suit high heels and formal suits, women's business skirts are also drawn.
While drawing these pictures, Zhu Jingyuan smoothly introduced the key points of production to the craftsmen, with almost no pause in his hands and mouth.
In the eyes of Chu Yuqiang and several craftsmen, Zhu Jingyuan was designing clothes on the spot, and they were shocked...
They all subconsciously believed that the previous design drawings took a long time to prepare.
Now it seems that this was all improvisation.
Moreover, these design drafts all look very distinctive, which is very outrageous.
His Royal Highness Prince Dashi is not a professional fashion designer.
The drawing he drew was not an industry-standard clothing design drawing, but an introductory display line drawing.
No one could understand why His Highness had such ability.
I can only think that he is gifted.
Zhu Jingyuan didn't pay much attention to the reactions of the craftsmen. After finishing all the drawings, he checked them briefly to make sure there were no omissions.
Then they were assigned directly, and at the same time, they gave the final details:
"Note that shirts and jackets are divided into men's and women's. Women's shirts should be more slim-fitting, while men's shirts should be slightly looser.
"You must follow the instructions on the drawing to iron out obvious angular lines."
"Understood, we took note of it..."
Chu Yuqiang and the craftsmen agreed together, and immediately called his men to make an additional copy of all the design drawings on site.
Zhu Jingyuan instructed the housekeeper of the palace to take out the body size data of himself, sisters An Xiaona and Luo Feiya and distribute them to all the craftsmen.
These data are already available, so there is no need to wait for someone to come back and measure on site.
Since summer is about to begin in the southern hemisphere, sisters An Xiaona and Luo Feiya have just taken their physical measurements and are preparing to distribute summer clothes.
Zhu Jingyuan's data is measured once every month.
The design drawing is completed, and all the craftsmen represent it together and go back to make clothes quickly.
Five days passed by in a flash, and Chu Yuqiang and the craftsmen came to the palace again and delivered ready-made clothes, decorations, and shoes.
These people moved several big boxes because there was really a lot of stuff.
Counting Zhu Jingyuan, there were four people in total, each with three sets of clothes, a lot of accessories, and several pairs of shoes, all of which were prepared in duplicate.
The housekeeper and Guan Tianpei carefully inspected all the belongings and made sure that there were no unreported items before they were sent to Zhu Jingyuan's study.
Zhu Jingyuan ordered his servants to put away what the Royal Clothing Company had made for him and prepare to take it directly to the ship of Dashi Country.
The royal ready-made clothes for the three maids An Xiaona, sisters An Xiaona and Luo Feiya are also put away first.
Then he prepared four tables, took out the clothes of four people made by other individual craftsmen, and placed them on them by category for display.
Zhu Jingyuan first picked up the most typical accessory, a black silk top hat.
The form completely meets my requirements. After all, I have provided relatively accurate images and data.
The craftsmen specially hired by the palace are the best in the entire Haijiao Huangzhuang City, and there is no fault in their craftsmanship.
Zhu Jingyuan picked up a few other pieces of clothing and checked them out, and found that they all met his requirements.
After roughly looking around, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded with satisfaction:
"You did a great job. Put away my clothes first and call Sister An Xiaona and Luo Feiya over..."
Because they are about to leave Xiyang Cape Huangzhuang, Zhu Jingyuan's three "handmaids" have dropped out of school in the past two days and returned to the mainland of Ming Dynasty to find a place to join the class.
Not long after, the grandmother in the backyard called the three little girls in.
In the past three months, Zhu Jingyuan would go to the courtyard where they lived when he had free time.
Look at their living conditions and ask about their studies.
Specialized in guiding some knowledge that cannot be learned in school, and instilling in them their own unique ideas.
While cultivating business managers, you are also showing your own importance and preventing other servants of the palace from having any inappropriate ideas.
When Zhu Jingyuan was training the three of them, he gradually realized a problem.
Now I am almost engaged in cultivating real people...
At the same time, after three months of familiarity, the three maids have completely adapted to life here.
After long-term contact, the three of them had a better and better impression of Zhu Jingyuan.
They all felt that Prince Dashi was the kindest and most benevolent high-ranking nobleman in the world.
Naturally, I became more and more trusting and admired him more and more.
What I am thinking about now is to continue to work hard to learn and grow, and to help Zhu Jingyuan manage various industries in the future...
And giving birth to children without forgetting the original intention...
Now when they heard Zhu Jingyuan's call, they originally thought that Zhu Jingyuan was going to teach them again, but when they entered, they saw a large group of outsiders.
Then I saw a lot of clothes on several tables.
The three little girls were all surprised and full of doubts, but they still obeyed the rules and politely bowed and said hello:
"I have met His Highness..."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly, pointed at the three slips and said:
"These are the clothes I designed. The three of you put them on one after another and show me the effect on your upper body. From now on, they will be yours..."
The three little girls were stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed expressions of surprise.
When Zhu Jingyuan usually educates them, he has shown an extremely broad knowledge, but designing clothes is still too unexpected.
Moreover, the number of clothes and shoes on the three tables was a bit unexpected. It seemed that each person had at least three sets of clothes.
The key to getting so many new clothes at once is that His Highness Prince Dashi personally designed them.
When the three little girls realized this, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
"Your Highness, you... designed the clothes for us yourself?"
"Your Highness, all these clothes...are they all for us?"
"Ah, thank you for the reward, Your Highness..."
The three little girls were all smart people. Although they were extremely excited, they quickly came to their senses and solemnly bowed to express their thanks.
Zhu Jingyuan asked the craftsmen to leave the room and wait in the living room next to them, leaving a nun behind to guide the three little girls in changing clothes.
A few minutes later, three little girls came out one after another.
Zhu Jingyuan only glanced at it and almost burst out laughing.
Sister An Xiaona is twelve years old and Luo Feiya has just turned ten. The first outfit these three little girls tried on was a "capitalist" suit.
Black tuxedo, white shirt and vest, suit trousers, and the key is which silk top hat.
This combination looks inherently interesting.
The key is that in Zhu Jingyuan's eyes, this outfit has its own emoticon effect.
The three little girls were also a little unnatural. They always felt that the clothes they were wearing were weird.
The shape doesn't look like aristocratic or high-end clothing, but the materials and production techniques used are top-notch.
The style design is not like women's clothing at all, but they are all cut to fit your body.
An Xiaona was the most outgoing. She blushed slightly and asked Zhu Jingyuan directly:
"Your Highness...how do you feel?"
Zhu Jingyuan suppressed his laughter and kept his smile as natural as possible:
"It looks pretty good, turn around and look at me..."
The three little girls did not think much and moved their bodies according to Zhu Jingyuan's request, allowing Zhu Jingyuan to observe the overall effect.
Chu Yuqiang stood beside Zhu Jingyuan and said with emotion:
“This look is not traditional aristocratic clothing, but now it looks high-end.
"The style is obviously men's clothing, but on the three little girls, it has a playful and cute feel."
Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded and said:
"This is the effect we want, but on adult men, there will be another effect..."
Chu Yuqiang praised again and said:
"Although His Highness has never studied design at all, these creative ideas are really admirable."
At the same time, there was another Boer craftsman nearby, who was the maker of the trousers in this outfit.
The old tailor, who was in his fifties, listened to the conversation between Zhu Jingyuan and Chu Yuqiang, and felt a little tangled and boldly spoke.
He said in Daming Yayan with a strong accent:
"Your Royal Highness, you should just let these three maids show you the effect of the clothes. You shouldn't go to Taixi to sell women's pants, right?"
Zhu Jingyuan was noncommittal:
"Whether it is sold or not depends on the situation. Is this a serious question?"
The old tailor nodded seriously and said:
"In most countries in the West, it is illegal for women to wear pants..."
Zhu Jingyuan was stunned at this moment:
"Ah...women wearing pants? Is it illegal?"
Several other Boer craftsmen also nodded to help confirm the news.
Chu Yuqiang was also aware of this problem. At the same time, he thought of other clothes designed by Zhu Jingyuan, and reminded him:
"Yes, Your Highness, it is illegal for women to wear pants in most parts of Western Europe, at least it is illegal to go out wearing only pants.
“At the same time, it is illegal to show thighs, and neither calves nor arms should be exposed.
"But it was legal for women to show their breasts, and it even became a trend for a time...
"It is also illegal for women to wear men's clothing in most places."
In fact, one of the crimes of France's Saint Joan of Arc was that she was a woman but wore men's clothes.
As late as 1932, the famous American movie star Marlena Dietrich was arrested by the police for wearing pants while shopping.
It was not until after World War II that women in Thailand and Western countries were gradually allowed to wear pants.
It was not until January 31, 2003 that France officially abolished the law that "no women in Paris are allowed to wear pants".
The process of women fighting for the right to wear men's clothes is an important context in the activities of Thai and Western women fighting for social status.
Women of the upper class in the East would not go out wearing only pants, and neither men nor women would do that.
For the convenience of working, men and women at the bottom of the class do not care whether they can wear pants or not.
There was also a clear distinction between men's and women's clothing in ancient times in the East, but the existence of traditional literary and artistic works such as Mulan Ci proves that women in ancient times disguising themselves as men was not a sin at all, but rather an inspirational story.
In fact, it was a very common practice for women in ancient times in the Great East to disguise themselves as men when going out to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In summary, if you look at the past, you will find that Easterners are much more tolerant than Westerners on many things.
Homosexuality is a similar situation. There is no such thing as legalization in the East. They have not violated the law from the beginning...
Westerners will always be more serious in places that Easterners don't expect.
It would be fine if these serious claims have nothing to do with Zhu Jingyuan. The key is that this time it will hinder his new clothing plan.
So Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but complain:
"What kind of broken rules are these? Let Honglu Temple inform Xiyi later to change all these laws!"
Chu Yuqiang said with some uncertainty:
“Actually, in our Ming Dynasty, if a woman exposes her arms and legs, it will be considered immoral.
"At the same time, men and women of high status will not go out wearing only pants..."
Zhu Jingyuan immediately said:
“Not being able to show your legs and arms can be considered conservative, but at the same time, being able to show your breasts is considered breaking the rules?
“Not only do we wear pants when we go out for the sake of dignity, but are we out of our minds to break the law when we only wear pants when we go out?
"The point is, it's illegal for women to wear men's clothing. What idiot made this law?"
Chu Yuqiang didn't know how to answer this question. He was just a craftsman manager, not a diplomat or a sociologist...
Zhu Jingyuan complained a few words and found a pen and paper to write down the matter.
Zhu Jingyuan really planned to ask Honglu Temple to negotiate with various countries in Thailand and the West.
This is not simply to mess around with nothing, this is a reason to interfere in Taixi's affairs.
Promoting the legalization of Thai and Western women wearing pants and men's clothing can make Thai and Western women more attracted to the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, it is also a means to create social divisions in Thailand and Spain...
