First Minister of Ming Dynasty

According to Jiang Nan's instructions, Zhang Ximeng became more and more proficient, and he was already familiar with it without a cup of tea.

Then Zhang Xianggong realized the decompression of this activity. As long as you keep repeating the mechanical movements with your hands, your brain can be completely empty, and you can get rid of the chaos of affairs.

And when you put down the needle, you can quickly enter the state.

In other words, this magical activity allows the brain and hands to be completely separated and rested. You must know that people like Zhang Ximeng have a lot of government affairs to do every day. Almost all the time, their heads are spinning, and they are very easy to get tired, confused, inattention, and inefficient.

But if you intersperse them, knitting sweaters, you can greatly relieve and quickly restore the state... It is too decompressed.

He simply asked Jiang Nan about the development of wool spinning while knitting a sweater to see how far it had gone... Jiang Nan tried to tell Zhang Ximeng what he knew.

In fact, for the beginning of this matter, I would also like to thank Zhang Ximeng. The Han people reeled silk and weaved cloth, and were more accustomed to using silk, cotton and linen.

However, Zhang Ximeng suggested the transformation of Mongolian prisoners.

The Mongolians who successfully graduated were integrated into the Ming Dynasty, and some veterinarians such as Timur were first, and naturally some became butchers, porters, and farmers.

All in all, the five elements and eight works, the three religions and the nine streams all have their presence.

Some of these Mongolians make felt, which is used as a mat, or into things like felt hats. Subsequently, some people will collect wool, cow hair, horse hair, wash it, make wool, and then weave it into felt curtains, which can be hung on the door to prevent wind and cold.

At first things like wool were available at the slaughterhouse for little money.

The raw cowhide used in the military workshop will also shave off the cow hair... Anyway, the raw materials hardly cost any money, and the felt and felt curtains produced are very cheap. At this time, materials are extremely scarce, and the people who are not so wealthy like it. of.

But that's all. Rough and inferior wool fabrics cannot be seen at all and cannot be placed on the table.

You can see that there are silk and satin shops on the street, and there are cotton cloth shops. Even the ge cloth woven by housewives, some people collect them, but these wool fabrics can only be placed in the street stalls, shouting and selling, and they are not as good as those who sell cloth heads.

Therefore, if you want to make woolen wool at once, get the love of the people at once, and sell it quickly and become rich, it is absolutely impossible. It is extremely difficult to change people's consumption concept, especially in ancient times, it takes decades. For hundreds of years, it has been subtle, moisturizing things silently.

However, wool spinning has many different things, but it has one advantage, that is, it is cheap!

At least in the eyes of Daming at the moment, it is still very cheap.

Cotton needs to be planted in the fields, and mulberry trees are the same, except for wool spinning, which is made from animal skins. And after the division of fields, every household has something like grain bran.

Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs, and sheep, more or less, can be raised... These animals are not much use other than killing and eating meat.

Among them, cowhide and horns are very expensive, and the military needs them. The remaining sheepskins and wool are worthless. Donkey skins can be used to make Ejiao, and pig skins can only be used to make skin jelly.

So for a little money, you can buy a lot of wool mixed with bristles.

This is the same in future generations. If you go to the rural market and encounter a beef seller, a complete cowhide will only cost one hundred yuan... Of course, this cowhide is the same as those who specialize in making leather clothes, bags, and leather goods. Cowhide, it's not the same thing at all.

Anyway, in line with the principle of making the best use of everything and sheep making the best use of their wool, the current development of wool spinning is indeed clean and hygienic, with high quality and low price.

Zhang Ximeng and Jiang Nan chatted a lot, and the sweater in his hand gradually took shape, and half of the sleeve was almost out. Zhang Xianggong was overjoyed, he rolled up his sleeves and put the sweater on his arm, and then Zhang Ximeng's face changed.

Thousands of bugs were lying on their arms at the same time, constantly surging their bodies, trying to burrow into the flesh... It's too itchy!

Zhang Ximeng quickly pulled it off, but fortunately it was only a sleeve. If it was made into underwear, it was estimated that it could soar in place!

Jiang Nan looked at him with disgust, and smiled, "It's mixed with pig hair, horse hair, camel hair... It hurts to **** people!"

Zhang Ximeng frowned and said helplessly: "This is too bad, who wants it?"

"So we have to send it to Goryeo and give it to the soldiers of the Northern Expedition! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get that much cotton!"

Zhang Ximeng pondered again, the suffering of the expedition is indeed not enough to tell outsiders! Take these sweaters that Zhang Ximeng shunned, and even ordinary people despised them, and sent them to Gaoli, and Guan Duo's gang guaranteed that they would be treasures.

In that place in Goryeo, the winter was bitter and cold, it snowed heavily, the land was barren, the output was very limited, and it was difficult to survive.

"During the war, everything is good, sweaters, felts, as many as you want. But it is not so easy to really develop the wool textile industry."

Zhang Ximeng took the wool in his hand and squeezed it, it was thick and hard, and it was very uncomfortable.

"Your family has a business, how can you make this thing not sticky, soft and warm?"

Jiang Nan frowned, "I think it takes a lot of energy... First of all, the raw materials must be strictly controlled, and no hair can be mixed in, and the wool must be long enough and soft enough. Second, wash the wool, Weaving into threads, we have to figure out how to do it.”

Zhang Ximeng asked curiously, "Look at our side, can any craftsman do it?"

Jiang Nan thought about it and said, "It shouldn't be difficult, just take the bamboo needle in my hand, which was invented by a few Xiu Niang from a quilt factory. The Mongolians knit it by hand. After they saw it, they thought of it. I took the needle for weaving hemp sheets, improved it, and turned it into this knitting needle. I think if it is to be like spinning and weaving cloth, I am afraid that I will have to start on the loom, and first spin thin and flexible wool, Then you can make good woolen fabrics.”

Zhang Ximeng thought for a while, nodded vigorously, and agreed.

Technology is naturally a little accumulation, and it is difficult to achieve it in one step.

So I want to make achievements in wool textiles... The first step is to find suitable fine wool sheep, and then large-scale breeding to get enough wool raw materials.

Research new looms, constantly improve the process, and finally come up with popular products.

It seems that preparations for this matter can begin. After all, the prelude to the Northern Expedition has already begun. After the recovery of Dadu, it will be useful.

Moreover, in the current Central Plains, there are many unowned land, and it is not impossible to temporarily develop pastures. The big deal is to move these pastures northward when the population becomes dense.

Anyway, there are many ways.

Thinking of Zhang Ximeng here, he was in a good mood and couldn't help but pick up the bamboo needle again.

"This set of bamboo needles and wool is given to me, and I will invite you to drink milk tea later!"

"Okay! But let's make it clear that we need ten cups!" Jiang Nan said proudly.

Zhang Ximeng nodded without hesitation, "No problem, it's all cups of Gongfu tea."

Jiang Nan's face collapsed in an instant, this person is too stingy.

"Zhang Xiang, you've already paid the bills, and you're not poor, so you can't be more generous?"

"Generous? I want to be generous too! But I'm still alone now, and I have to save some wife's books for my marriage!"

"Wife Ben?" Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing, "Zhang Xiang, if you get married, from your majesty to the empress, to the merchants and pawns, you will all be happy, so why don't you need to worry about yourself!"

"Really?" Zhang Ximeng was also stunned, "How could it be so easy?"

Jiang Nan rolled his eyes at him, "Zhang Xiang, if you can trust me and want to marry someone's daughter, I'll be a matchmaker for you, and I'll ask you what's next, do you think it's alright?"

Zhang Ximeng blinked, looked at Jiang Nan, and suddenly smiled: "It's the best, just based on your appearance, that's also the first-class beautiful matchmaker! But I still didn't think about it, wait, let's wait for the response. !"

Jiang Nan smiled and agreed, "Any time is fine, but I want to be the matchmaker, I can't fool things with milk tea, I have to eat a big meal!"

Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyelids and could only agree with a smile.

That's what he and Jiang Nan said, and they didn't take it seriously. After all, he is too busy, the curtain of the Northern Expedition has just opened, and he needs to plan the overall situation.

Tang He also started to take action after the southwest reformed the land and returned to the current state. No one knows how many things will happen next.

There are things like the development of woolen textiles, the eight characters have not been clarified, it is just an idea, and there is no sure way to implement it... Even if you really want to find a wife, it is estimated that it will be the same as Li Shanchang and their wives, who only give birth to their husbands. Raising children, taking care of the family.

To say that there is any common language, to talk about things and exchange views at one time, it is estimated that it is impossible. After all, there are enough reading, knowledgeable, and capable strange women, but it is still too rare.

Zhang Ximeng just thought about it and gave up.

However, in the past few days, his level of sweater knitting has been greatly improved, and he even learned how to stitch. While returning to Beijing, he knitted two sweaters, not to mention a pair of knee pads... Then these Just like the other tens of thousands of sweaters, the fabric was loaded on a ship, sailed across the ocean, and sent to Goryeo...

Zhang Xiang actually knitted sweaters for the Northern Expedition Army by himself~www.readwn.com~ I don't know who spread the news, and then it quickly became a popular headline in Yingtian.

This has been the third time in this period of time, and it has aroused people's discussion... The first is the graduation examination of all the generals in Yueyang Tower. In the past, Yueyang Tower was famous for a piece of Yueyang Tower. In the future, Yueyang Tower will be because of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Restore China, and the world knows it!

It is a pity that there are no poems and articles that can be passed down, which is really regrettable.

But soon the conversation between Zhang Ximeng and Tang He was sorted out and published in the newspaper.

Immediately make up for the shortcomings, such a magnificent atmosphere, high-rise buildings, and Zhang Xiang can't do it!

Then, because of the sweater knitting incident, another fire was burned... Zhang Xianggong, who is so perfect, is still alone. Yingtian fathers and elders can't bear it anymore, and they must find a suitable person to help Zhang Xianggong solve lifelong affairs. .
