"Of course the Western Regions produce cotton~"
"And all the way from the Western Region to the west, this large area is producing cotton. The cotton produced is not only high in yield, but also has very slender lint and is of the highest quality."
Liu Jin nodded solemnly and said.
"But the Western Region is under the control of the Oara people. Now the Oara have moved eastward and are annexing the former Tatar tribes. How can we get the Western Region."
At this time, Xu Guangzuo said helplessly.
This matter is also a headache for Emperor Hongzhi now. The northern grasslands are beginning to become unstable again. Once the Oara unifies the northern grasslands, another Mongol Empire may rise by then, posing a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.
"Nothing is impossible~"
"Last year we were able to completely wipe out the army of the little Tatar prince, and we can also clean up the Oara army and drive the Oara people to the west."
Liu Jin smiled and said very confidently.
"And the second method I mentioned about finding alternatives is actually related to the northern grasslands."
¡°Cotton can be used for spinning and weaving, and wool can also be used for spinning and weaving. Compared with cotton, wool is warmer, and wool can be produced all year round with greater output.¡±
"Wool?"
When Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, and Xu Guangzuo heard this, they were stunned again.
"Is it cashmere?"
Zhang Mao thought for a while and said.
"No, it's just wool. This wool and cashmere are completely different."
Liu Jin smiled, shook his head and said.
¡°Cashmere is the smallest and softest wool on sheep. The yield is very small, and generally only small amounts of cashmere can be obtained from lambs.¡±
"Wool is different. Wool production is large, and it is wool sheared from adult sheep. After the wool is sheared, the sheep will grow hair again, continuously."
"But this wool is very dirty and smells like sheep. Who would want this wool?"
Zhu Fu thought for a while and said, with a look of disgust on his face when he said this.
As we all know, the wool on sheep is very dirty because it is mixed with grease, soil and many other things, and there are also small animals and the like in it. More importantly, the smell of wool is too strong, even on the grassland. Nor can I knit anything with wool.
¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to a place, and you¡¯ll know if this wool can be used for weaving~¡±
Liu Jin smiled and said very mysteriously.
In fact, Liu Jin has been studying this technology for using wool to weave cloth for a long time.
Wool is very dirty, and the smell of sheep mutton is also very strong, but it can be dealt with using methods.
The clothes, towels, etc. woven from wool in later generations are all good things.
"Mysterious~"
Zhang Mao, Xu Guangzuo, and Zhu Fu suddenly became curious, and followed Liu Jin out of the Liu Mansion to the southern suburbs outside the capital.
Here in the southern suburbs of the capital, Liu Jin dedicated a large area of ??land and built a Tiangong Institute here specifically for the study of various technologies.
?? Here at Tiangongyuan, Liu Jin has raised tens of thousands of blacksmiths, carpenters, potters and other people who rely on craftsmanship and technology in this era. These people do not have to do anything else, and they are here to study systematically.
¡°Learn Arabic numerals, learn mathematics and some simple physics and chemistry knowledge, and then study various technologies according to Liu Jin¡¯s requirements.
When recruiting people, Liu Jin only recruited a small number of older people. Most of the people were teenagers and apprentices.
These people are still young and have strong learning ability. At the same time, their imaginations are richer and more plastic. They will not be constrained and comfortable when studying various things, and they are more creative.
Artillery technology, flintlock muskets, explosive bags, new spinning machines, looms, etc. were all researched here. Of course, the most important technical guidance was provided by Liu Jin.
The entire Tiangong Institute is divided into three research directions. One is the physical research direction. Now it mainly studies machinery and steel, how to make more precise, faster, and more effective machines, how to smelt better steel, how to Rapid forging of steel and more.
"One is the study of chemistry, mainly the study of explosives, the development of more powerful explosives, and incidentallyCalcium acid can completely remove the grease in wool.
There are also some pools with bleaching chemicals added to them, which can restore the color of the wool to a snow-white state; some pools are specially used to remove the smell of sheep, and the soaked wool will not have any odor.
"Let's take a look. These wools are the final processed wool. Do you think this kind of wool is worse than cotton?"
Coming to the last step of the process, Liu Jin smiled and picked up a ball of wool. It was very white, snow-white, snow-white, and as soft as cotton. The key was that there was no peculiar smell, and there was no longer any smell of sheep. .
¡°Incredible~unbelievable~¡±
"Is this still wool?"
"This is better than cashmere~"
Zhang Mao held the wool in his hand and widened his eyes. He couldn't believe it. Even though it was cashmere, it still smelled like sheep, but the wool in front of him had no peculiar smell at all and was very white.
"If this is the case, this wool can really be used for spinning and weaving~"
Xu Guangzuo also widened his eyes and couldn't help but nodded. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
