The red cloth is not enough.

Red and black are the basic colors of the big man.

It's the base color, not the underwear...

As for yellow or other colors, at least at this stage, they cannot represent a big man.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, due to the development of productivity, the dyeing and weaving technology developed by leaps and bounds. The advancement of dyeing and weaving technology was the basis for improving the quality of clothing. People in the Han Dynasty became increasingly particular about clothing, and their clothes became more and more gorgeous. There were even multiple colors.

The dyeing and weaving process.

It's just that the military doesn't pay so much attention to it. Even if there are some flaws in the color, it won't hinder normal use. The main reason is that there is not much dye left.

Of course, the dyes currently used by Han Dynasty are all natural dyes, that is, mineral or plant dyes.

Cyan is mainly dyed with indigo extracted from indigo. Planting indigo in fields and even wasteland has become a very important economic crop for Han farmers. There are also some plantings in the three auxiliary areas of Guanzhong.

But for the whole Han Dynasty, the place with the most cultivated bluegrass should be Cao Cao's hometown, Chenliu.

Yellow is mainly dyed with gardenia. The yellow dyed with gardenia has a slight reddish glow, which is a high-grade dye. Of course, some ordinary yellows are also available. In the "Han Guan Yi", it is recorded that "Exi comes out of the dyeing garden,

"Dyeing Royal Clothes", E means "Yazi", which means that the yellow dyeing cloth used for the royal family at that time was dyed with gardenia.

White is generally not dyed specially. If it is, it is dyed with minerals, but this is very complicated, so generally in Dahan, you only need to use bleaching and boiling. For example, to bleach linen, use plant ash and lime to boil.

If you don't succeed once, you will succeed twice...

Black mainly comes from many sources of dyes, such as oak, acorn, gallnut, persimmon leaves, holly leaves, chestnut shells, lotus seed shells, sage leaves, tallow leaves, etc., which can all be used as black dyes, although

Some are not the pure black of later generations, but they can basically meet the needs.

The trouble, or the lack of raw materials, is red...

What?

Blood?

If blood doesn't work, if you think blood can dye cloth, just try it yourself and dye it.

The color red in the Han Dynasty was also a kind of grass called madder.

Because Zhao Yun still has a long way to go before being transferred to Zhongxin in Yinshan, and there is usually a shortage of fabrics of any color in it. It is impossible to report to him and send a batch of black ones, and then report again next time and send a batch of yellow ones...

The most convenient method is naturally to directly send a batch of undyed raw cloth, and then Zhao Yun can dye it himself according to his own needs at Changshan Camp.

As for why there is a shortage of red cloth now, it is because Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others accidentally expanded too fast.

Just like when a dog takes over the territory...

Well, tigers have taken over the territory...

Well, that’s what it means anyway.

Occupying a territory does not mean that you can pull everything on the territory into your arms and carry it away. Of course, I have never seen a tiger take away all the trees and rocks on the mountain.

But at least you have to declare your sovereignty.

Every tribe must have three to five Han flags. The Han flag has a red background with black edges, so if you are not careful, the red cloth will not be enough.

Another more troublesome thing is population.

The population of the Hu people.

There are also livestock.

The reason why Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others were so successful was because these barbarians suffered serious disasters. In the face of the disaster, these barbarians had only two options left, one was to rob, and the other was to wait for death.

I won't mention it until death, but as for robbery, in the desert now, there is no property that can be defeated, and there is no property. You can't defeat it.

Then Zhao Yun gave the third way...

Most of these barbarians live in the north of the desert. It can even be said that if it were not for this white disaster and black disaster, Zhao Yun would not have seen these barbarians at all.

Hu people and Han people all have the same two eyes and one mouth, and they all need to eat. When there is some disturbance in the grassland and desert, the cattle and sheep are exposed. The natural shortcomings of the nomadic people are fully exposed in the face of the disasters in the grassland and desert.

Being able to solve the problems in the desert through food and drink is a great achievement, but on the other hand, if you feed tigers to cause trouble, or feed white-eyed wolves, then it becomes the biggest crime.

It's like the front and back of a horse coin.

This piece of Qiusi Qian was rolling in Xinpi's hand.

These barbarians who came from the desert of northern Xinjiang are different from the Xianbei and Huns. Some of them wear felt hats all the time, while others are cold to death without wearing hats, letting their thick, dark hair grow

drift……

Don’t think that this kind of life on the prairie is beautiful and unrestrained. In fact, when you get closer, you can smell the smell of yak and sheep emanating from these guys’ hair, the sound of their leather robes, and the skin of their bodies.

The smell, and seeing the lice and fleas crawling in and out of the hair and fur robes of these guys...

Just like many people in cities in later generations envied rural life, but if they really wanted to go to the countryside, it would be Ye Gong Haolong.

Most of these barbarians have black eyes and black hair, but there are also some people with high noses and different-colored pupils. These people with colored eyes stand far away, with humble and wretched expressions.

Language is a big problem, but fortunately these guys can understand each other, so Xinpi directed a few people and asked them to elect their own representatives and conduct discussions.

noon.

The sun shone down, shining on the shining hussar coins in Xinpi's hands, and also on these guys. It seemed that they were a little hot from the sun. These guys wearing sheepskin battle clothes took off half of their battle clothes.

Then the smell of cattle and sheep in the venue became stronger and stronger.

In the middle of these barbarians is the leader they recommended. An old man with some white hair, a middle-aged man with a yak bone necklace hanging around his neck, and a blind man.

The disheveled man with the left eye.

In the battle, surrender or death. Among these people who came into contact with Zhao Yun and Zhang He, many chose to surrender, but surrender did not mean that they did not have to eat and drink, and some of them heard the news and came over to contact them on their own initiative.

Killing cannot solve the problem, it can only solve the person who caused the problem, and the problem is still there.

It's like the Xiongnu occupied the entire desert, but it has only been so long that no one remembers what happened to the Xiongnu. Then came Xianbei, and then Xianbei Tanshihuai died, and it was also a piece of scattered sand.

Therefore, if you want to really solve the problems in the desert, you cannot just rely on killing people. Just like firing a temporary worker cannot completely solve the problem, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Ding!"

Xinpi bounced the Qiusi Qian in his hand high.

The Qiusi coins flipped in the air, reflecting the sunlight, shining with a dazzling brilliance, attracting everyone's attention, and then fell down, falling back into Xinpi's hands.
