My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Wang Xiujuan just said casually whether the smell of wool was strong or not, she wouldn't wear it anyway.

"Do you want to make it into a cashmere sweater and sell it?"

Selling it is just incidental, mainly for the layout of the previous strategy.

"Some of them are sent to the north to protect the soldiers from the cold. If there are many, we are considering selling them abroad."

"Then you plan to continue to cooperate with the palace in this business?" Wang Xiujuan asked doubtfully.

Ning Changrong shook his head without hesitation, "We can no longer cooperate. We are already conspicuous enough. Our family will not be able to spend all the money we earn in a few lifetimes. These wools belong to the palace and have nothing to do with us."

Ning Qingxi thought for a while and said, "Dad, do you want to sell the wool machine to the palace?"

Ning Changrong said with a smile: "Yes, this wool machine is not valuable. It will probably be dismantled and copied soon, but it can still make a quick profit."

"Didn't you say you want to build a greenhouse so you can eat vegetables in winter? I will use the money to build it for you then."

Ning Qingxi was speechless: "Dad, are you too stingy? Our family has so much money and we have to sell this before we are willing to build a vegetable greenhouse for me?"

"You don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Our family does have many sources of money, and our expenses are not small. It's good to make a little bit. Anyway, this is a real business."

"I wonder if you, my daughter, will still be remembered in history. Isn't there a Jenny Textile Machine now? Look, should we name it Qingxi Textile Machine?"

Ning Qingxi quickly waved her hand and refused, "I don't dare. I found this thing in an encyclopedia. Where can it be named after me?" She was not that thick-skinned yet.

"But the drawings and parts of this machine are backed up by the workshop. Can they come to us to buy them?"

Ning Changrong said confidently: "Just leave it to dad."

Ning Qingxi rolled her eyes. She not only wanted to make greenhouse vegetables, but also wanted a hot spring.

"Dad, do you want to make another machine that can directly turn wool into wool, and then directly into sweaters?"

"You mean the wool loom?" Ning Changrong said.

"Yeah." She didn't know clearly, but it should be this name. Ning Qingxi nodded and looked at Ning Changrong expectantly. The two items together should fetch more money.

Ning Changrong thought for a few seconds and then decisively refused, "No, we need wool looms because the population is insufficient and productivity cannot keep up. But now there are so many vacant positions, there is no shortage of manpower."

Looking for a job in his position, Ning Changrong immediately thought of a series of jobs created by wool, which could help the people earn more money.

If we make a woolen loom, wouldn't this directly take away their jobs?

In this way, the labor cost may be higher, but how expensive can it be? Human labor at this time is the least valuable.

In the end, Ning Qingxi could only regret.Anyway, the family also has other income, which is enough for her to build a hot spring.

The fiefdom given to them by Chang Yuan is still generating zero income.

People have to be arranged to manage and take care of those two areas.

But this premise is that the area has settled down, but in fact there are always large and small riots in Jiaozhou, and they can't even make a living with the people, so there is no income.

The family's expenses all depend on the income from the land, as well as the Cheshang Department Store and Supermarket opened by Ning Qingxi in Taixi County.

So she spent the money wisely and contributed a lot of income to her family!

In the past few days, Ning Changrong found a group of carpenters and rushed out [-] wool machines, which are still being manufactured.

Ning Changrong asked someone to help move the completed wool machine directly into the palace to find Chang Yuan.

In other words, if Ning Changrong can bring such a big thing into the palace, other people can't even think about it.Eunuch Li brought Ning Changrong to the entrance of the palace to ask for an audience. As expected, Chang Yuan did not blame him at all after hearing about it. Instead, he walked from under the dragon chair to the wool machine to observe with great interest.

"This little thing can turn wool into a thread?"

Ning Changrong nodded, "Your Majesty, please take a step back and I will demonstrate it for you personally."

Chang Yuan stepped back halfway, and Ning Changrong took out the wool from the small bag next to him. He only brought a little bit over, twisted it gently, and slowly operated the wool machine according to Wang Xiujuan's method.

"Hey, it really turned into a thread." Eunuch Li exclaimed.

Chang Yuan stepped forward, twisted the wool thread ground out by the machine with his hands, and smelled it closely. "It doesn't seem to have any sheep smell."

Ning Changrong smiled and said: "I asked you to remove the grease from these wools, wash them and dry them. In fact, there is still some sheep mutton smell, but it has been reduced a lot."

Chang Yuan said knowingly, "This thing must have been created by Princess Tai'an again."

"Your Majesty is wise." Ning Changrong flattered him.

Chang Yuan laughed and scolded him, "What's wise? When did you learn this trick?"

Ning Changrong chuckled, but didn't speak.

Chang Yuan pointed to the wool machine and said: "If you use this machine to make the wool thread you mentioned, how do you operate it later? Didn't you say you want to make it into clothes? The warmth retention effect of this thing is really good. Better than cotton?”

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty." Ning Changrong explained: "Use this machine to make wool threads one by one, and then collect them for knitting sweaters."

"Chen can show you exactly how to weave."

Before coming here, he specifically learned how to knit a sweater from his mother. It was too specific and he couldn't do it, but it was still okay to simply show off his hands.

Chang Yuan raised his hand to signal Ning Changrong to start.

Ning Changrong took out the two wooden skewers he had prepared, and then took out a small section of wool thread that he had imitated at home.

Somewhat clumsily, Chang Yuan put the wool thread on the wooden skewer. After the slightly unfamiliar demonstration, Chang Yuan probably understood.

It's almost like weaving, except that the silk used in weaving is thinner and the wool thread is thicker.

"It's a bit interesting." He could see that the threads would imitate pieces of cloth, and finally the cloth would be spliced ​​into a piece of clothing.

After speaking, Chang Yuan returned to the dragon chair and sat down, "I think this wool can be made into wool without this wool machine."

"Your Majesty, it is indeed possible, but it is very slow and not as solid as the wool machine." Ning Changrong said calmly.

"If you have a wool machine, you can save a lot of time for weaving sweaters. The most important thing is that the wool thread knitted by the wool machine is stronger, and the wool sweaters made in this way are also warmer."

Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me what you think."

Ning Changrong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have now initially opened the market on the grassland. As long as there is news about the purchase of wool later, there will definitely be a steady stream of wool."

"What we are lacking now is wool machines, and I can supply them right here."

Chang Yuan pointed at himself in surprise and said, "Do you want to sell the wool machine to me?"

Ning Changrong looked very philistine.
