What about men? Carl's answer is that men and women are similar, but men have an extra military uniform. The pullover shirt has no sleeves, low waist tights, feet tights, and two robes without sleeves on the outside. Why are there no sleeves? It's not that there are no sleeves, but that the sleeves can be removed from the shirt. The European nobles of this era are very particular about sleeves and will buy various sleeves. Changing clothes is actually changing sleeves.

Oh, by the way, there is another thing that is a must-have, which is a small pocket hanging around the waist, whether it is leather or cloth, used to hold money, cosmetics or snacks, both men and women.

"The church probably won't agree. Such clothes are too luxurious and do not meet the taste of the church..." Carl poured cold water on Hong Tao's ideal.

"Hehehe... Your God can control everything, the only thing that cannot control is human nature. As long as it is a beautiful thing, women like it. Even if you burn ten of them a day, they will continue to do it one after another." Hong Tao was not worried at all. He just went to make trouble. Whether he succeeded or not was another matter. If the church could not control himself, it would be useless to do anything within the scope of the cannon. Moreover, he did not force promotion, but just let them see it. Once a human thing has a goal in his heart, he would not be able to stop anything.

"What you said makes sense, what about men's clothing? Make it for me. I have only been home for ten years. I can't wear military uniforms. Do you have any good-looking men's clothing?" After these ten years of life in a foreign land, Carl has long forgotten his original living habits. He doesn't believe in the church as much as before. Just like what Hong Tao said, everyone loves beauty. He also wants to get beautiful clothes and return to his hometown in a glorious way. Didn't the ancients pass by? Wealth does not return to their hometown, like walking in the night of luxury, who knows it!

"Ladies are preferred! I will make it for Miss Jiang and Hong Yu first, and then I will be your turn. Wait!" Men's clothing? Hong Tao has no plans at all. The big men are dressing up with magnificent styles?

From the matter of making clothes, Hong Tao remembered many things that can harm Europeans. For example, cosmetics containing lead and mercury; exquisite tableware and wine utensils made of lead-tin alloys; these things can cause chronic poisoning and may even be passed on to the next generation. Just imagine that those who can afford these expensive cosmetics must be European nobles. In other words, the elite class of Europe. If they are allowed to reduce their intelligence and memory due to chronic lead poisoning, they will lose their intelligence and their memory will decrease due to chronic lead poisoning.

, the decline in fertility rate is equivalent to weakening the ability of the European ruling class. Moreover, this method is invisible. It can not only harm people but also make money, but also make a lot of money! Once a woman knows that she can make herself more beautiful, she has no choice but to God. Who dares to stop them from pursuing beauty will be their mortal enemy. The pope is nothing, maybe one day he will be stabbed to death by his lover in his sleep, and who told him not to allow women to beautify!

In addition, Hong Tao extended it from this aspect. He suddenly found that he had great potential in Europe! For example, establishing a luxury base that specializes in producing cosmetics, hair salon products, and high-end clothing accessories for European aristocrats. Then he guided them how to make delicious food and enjoy life. The only thing they didn’t teach is how to create and how to produce. From frugality to extravagance is easy to go from extravagance to frugality. A Europe that only pursues food, drink and play is more in line with its own requirements. It would be interesting if the court women in Europe were made Queen Mary of Louis XVI.

To fight tigers, you need to be strong yourself. Europeans are not fools. Without a complete set of tricks and real good things, this plan is difficult to achieve. Hong Tao is a person who has no energy in doing serious things. When he says he harms people, his eyes are shining. In order to realize his ideal of harming people, the captain's office of the Jinhe immediately became a laboratory, and Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Yu became his two accomplices. Every day, from morning to night, they either cut clothes or develop cosmetics. From time to time, they have to find Carl, Luo Youde and others to hold a new product launch conference, so that they can express their opinions with senior officers, and then gradually improve them.

Dabao! This is a beauty brand that Hong Tao developed after a month before the fleet arrived in Cape Town. Currently, there is only one product called Dabao Whitening Cream. No one knows what its ingredients are. After applying it, it can make people's skin look much whiter and has a funny feeling. But Hong Tao only tried it a few times on his face and strictly prohibited Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Yu from using it because this thing is full of white lead powder. Frequent contact with it is not good for the human body.

The scientific name of white lead is Hong Tao. Anyway, it is a derivative of lead mines, which are translucent crystals. They are mainly used to configure pigments in the Song Dynasty, and Taoists also use them to refine alchemy. They are also used as cosmetics. The Song people crushed this mineral into fine powder, then mixed with spice powder and oil to make it into a paste and apply it on their face to whiten. There is a saying that wash away the lead, which is a cosmetic made of white lead powder.

Of course, this white lead yield is not high, so it is impossible for everyone to use it. It is more of a kind of cosmetic made of rice flour. It is to crush the rice and soak it in water, and then precipitate some very fine and starch-like things from the rice soup, which can be dried and applied to the noodles. To be honest, Hong Tao really didn't think that it would be beautiful to apply a layer of white powder on his face. It looks white and miserable, like a living ghost. But this is the difference of the times. Modern people think it is ugly, while ancient people thought it was beautiful.

Hong Tao, the Dabao Whitening Cream, is much more advanced. In addition to white lead, there are also pearl powder, talc powder, musk powder, and mint powder. After four boiling and purifying, whale oil is mixed into a paste. When it smells the fragrance, it will be like shave putty on the face. It will immediately become white and miserable. It also has a simple waterproof and sweat-proof function. However, this thing is easy to block sweat pores and absorb metal lead through the capillaries on the skin. It is not beneficial to the human body for a long time.

Once the lead under the skin settles, the whole face is blue, and it will not be possible if it is not applied. Therefore, Hong Tao strictly prohibits Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Yu from using Dabao Whitening Cream. The reason is that this thing is poisonous, but when they look at the eyes of the two of them, they are not afraid. I guess Hong Tao will not stare at them, so they will definitely try it secretly. This has increased Hong Tao's confidence and told them that it is poisonous. They still yearn for it so much. They are also women, can those European ladies resist?

There is also a kind of lipstick cream and mascara Hong Tao has also developed it. The ingredients still contain white lead powder. This thing has strong adhesion and can be put into anything. However, the white lead material on the ship is not enough, and the test is exhausted. But it doesn’t matter. South Africa is a major mineral country. Hong Tao feels that when he arrives in Cape Town, he will definitely get this kind of companion mine, and then set up a small workshop and take some time to produce some samples to Europe to try. If it is really popular, then mass production. If people don’t like it, throw it into the sea and finish it. There is no cost anyway.

Cosmetics are just a small weapon that he harmed Europeans. The harm of relying on the skin to absorb lead is not that great. The biggest thing is to eat foods with high lead content directly. What foods have high lead content? Hong Tao is really not sure. There is no heavy metal pollution at this time, so there is no place to find this plant or animal. What should I do? In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome. The ancient Romans used themselves to demonstrate how to get chronic lead poisoning. They used lead tableware and kitchen utensils, which was not enough. They also made tap water pipes. This fearless spirit of sawing light bulbs and welded light tubes Hong Tao was preparing to help Europeans promote it. He wanted Europeans to like various lead metal utensils.

The metal of lead is very soft and is conducive to processing, so the ancient Romans like to use lead as daily necessities. But now they are all in bronze, iron, porcelain, and silver. How can Europeans like gray and unpretentious lead? This is a technical job. If you can't just lead, you can get alloys! Lead and silver and lead copper can be alloyed. Later generations were used in industry and would never be made into daily necessities, but now it is OK. Various lead alloys not only maintain the rough appearance, luster, color, copper, and the characteristics of copper are low in melting point, good fluidity, good ductility and low hardness, which are more suitable for later finishing. The biggest advantage is that these alloys are cheaper than sterling silver and pure copper, and the manufacturing cost is also low.

Using these alloys to make tableware, kitchen utensils, and cookware is perfect. It can be made beautifully, and it is more resistant to corrosion than pure silver and pure copper, and is not easy to rust. Even if the outer layer is oxidized, it will become shiny after being wiped. But they are all poisonous. There is only one consequence of using these tableware, kitchen utensils, and cookware for a long time, and chronic lead poisoning! People with this disease will lose memory, deteriorate their reproductive ability, lose appetite, and become fatigued. The inheritance will have an irreversible impact on the brain. Simply put, it is easy to give birth to mentally retarded children.

Hongtao asked the blacksmith on the Jinhe River to try these two alloys with the crucible on the boat. It was easy to make, but the optimal ratio was not determined yet. This work was not urgent. There was a smelting workshop in Cape Town. Let the slaves try it slowly when they got there. The air in the cabin was not very circulating, and if you smell too much lead steam, it would be poisoned.
