Liu Yin knew in his heart that cotton was only introduced to the Central Plains during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and his era was the Eastern Han Dynasty, so naturally there was no such thing as cotton clothes and cotton clothes.

If you solve the problem of keeping the people warm in Youzhou, then it will be natural for the people to want it at that time

What's more, the reason why productivity was low in ancient times was because everyone was confined to their homes in winter, making it difficult to engage in productive labor.

If this problem is solved, then the living standards of the people of Youzhou will be qualitatively improved, and they will be able to collect more taxes, and they will be able to recruit more soldiers and horses at that time, laying a solid foundation for themselves to dominate the world.

Thinking of this, Liu Yin was overjoyed.

Without further ado, just do what you say.

After a while the snow stopped, and the three of them went out dressed in burlap clothes filled with duck down.

Jian Yong and the others followed behind the lord, wondering in their hearts: Where is the lord going?

I saw the three of them walking all the way over, seeing the surrounding market buildings, city farmland, and unconsciously, they had come to a piece of farmland.

Liu Yin grabbed a handful of dried seeds from the ground, these seeds were dropped by the farmers during the autumn harvest, presumably of little value, so they were thrown in the farmland.

Liu Yin's mind moved, and he transplanted the cotton genes stored in the system's gene pool to these dry seeds.

The seeds that I saw were originally dry and swelled suddenly began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a while, they became full and shiny, full of vitality.

Liu Yin thought about it, it is not enough to have cotton genes alone, even if these seeds are planted, they will not be harvested until next year, and this winter, I am afraid that some people will still freeze to death.

Then, Liu Yin injected the previous vine genes into these modified "cotton" seeds.

Then he sprinkled the seeds into the soil.

Liu Yin nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and instructed Jian Yong: "Tomorrow, you go to the mansion and take out some silver, buy dozens of coarse linen clothes, and then send someone to harvest cotton in this field." "

Jian Yong heard it in a fog, as if he was sleepwalking, and he was in a daze.

He felt that he was blown away by the cold wind, so he shook his head, trying to sober up.

What did the lord say just now, cotton? What is that? Harvesting cotton, is it a crop?

However, this harsh winter, heavy snowfall, and the autumn harvest has been over for several months.

Seeing that the ground is bare, in addition to the black soil, there are some straw roots, where are the crops?

Jian Yong touched his head to make sure that he did not have a fever, he wanted to touch the forehead of the lord to see if the lord was frozen and confused, but seeing the lord's confident and happy expression, he gave up this idea.

He muttered under his breath, "How can there be any cotton here?".

Although Liu Yin heard his whispering, he didn't care, and led the two to a restaurant to have a drink.

I saw that the door of the restaurant was closed, and after knocking on the door for a while, I was cringe, trembling all over, and the shopkeeper who put his hand in his sleeve came to open the door. "

After the three of them entered, the shopkeeper closed the door tightly.

As far as the eye can see, the huge restaurant is not as lively as it was before the snow a few days ago, and there are a few people in brocade clothes sitting scattered in the lobby, drinking and eating food in front of a fireplace.

I saw a dozen pieces of wood burning in the stove, and a pile of briquettes spread underneath.

Liu Yin's eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked Jian Yong: "Is everyone so warm?"

Jian Yong replied respectfully: "Where, this is where the rich and wealthy will use the stone for heating, and ordinary people can only buy some firewood to come back for heating in winter." "

"What is that?" asked Liu Yin, puzzled.

"It's the black layer of fuel laid down underneath. "

It turned out that the oblivion was coal, and Liu Yin suddenly realized.

Looking at the ball-shaped coals on the side of the road, Liu Yin shook his head dissatisfiedly.

In this way, the combustion efficiency is not high at all, and it will produce toxic and harmful gases when it is not completely combusted.

Thinking so, he called the shopkeeper.

"Xiao Er, do you usually burn the oblivion here like this?"

The shopkeeper was also respectful, and said with a smile: "Back to the guest officer, our annihilation stone was bought from Guo Chaifu's house in the west of the city, and it is usually spread under the firewood for heating. "

Another guest next to him, who had a fat head and big ears and looked very rich, said with a smile: "This annihilation stone is really different, the firewood will turn into ashes after burning for half an hour, and this annihilation stone has been burning for two or three hours, it is really a treasure." "

A lean guest next to him said, "I'll go to Guo Chaifu's house to buy some when I go back." Put it at home to keep warm, but this stone is really expensive, and now it costs a tael of silver a piece. "

The other guests stuck out their tongues in surprise, and the shopkeeper interjected: "This is still the size of the score, as big as a bowl, you can't buy it for ten taels of silver." "

Jian Yong explained: "This Guo Chaifu was originally a chopper on a mountain in the city, and he usually sells some firewood for a living, but later he accidentally saw such treasures in the mountains, and he can actually burn for warmth, so he sold them to others, and now he has made a fortune from this." "

Liu Yin knew in his heart, it seems that people in this era have no knowledge of coal, only know that it is a magical stone, which can be heated and burns for a long time.

Since there is coal and stone in the mountain to pick, then there must be a vein nearby, if you develop it yourself, and improve the coal combustion technology, the problem of heating every household in winter will be solved

Thinking of this, Liu Yin couldn't help but feel proud, it seems that I have no future in the 21st century, and in the Han Dynasty, I became the coal boss that people say.

While thinking about it, Liu Yin said to Jian Yong: "You take me to Guo Chaifu's house to have a look, I also want to see what this annihilation stone is." "

After Liu Yin and the others finished eating in the restaurant, they went to Guo Chaifu's house.
