    Finally, Uncle Qi Fumo was reached in line. He quickly stepped forward and handed over the wool that had been prepared long ago to the Han merchant.  He was originally a minor aristocrat in the Begging Tribe. After he was reorganized into a household, he asked his eldest son to take his place and join the army in Fengzhou. He himself focused on running the business at home.

    Qifumo¡¯s family has a large population, including women and children. In ten days and a half, they can produce three to four hundred kilograms of wool.  A Han man handed over the copper coins from selling wool to Qifu Mo. Tens of thousands of dollars were piled into a big bag, which made everyone envious.

    Qifu Mo said goodbye to the friends who were waiting together and went to the market.  It was now the time, and the market was still crowded. Qifu Mo was planning to take his second son to the market to eat and buy some things before leaving.

    There is not much salt in the house; before his wife came, he asked him to buy some pieces of cloth; when the daughters at home are older, they also need to buy some rouge and gouacheall kinds of things, and the two of them bought a cart  Things just go home.  It was almost sunset in the afternoon when we got home.

    When the father and son entered the house, Qifu Mo's wife had already welcomed him out of the door.  Qi Fumo asked his second son to lead people to unload the things, and Qi Fumo came to see his wife.

    "Why did you buy so many things?"

    Qi Fumo said with a smile: "This wool is selling well, so naturally I have to buy more things for the children. By the way, have you sheared today's wool? While our sheep are moulting, we need to shear more wool.  The man is in the army, his children are getting married, and his daughters are getting married, all relying on these wools."

    "There were more than three hundred sheep. I took Er Niang and the others to shear them all for a day. Si Er and the others made a fire by the river, washed the wool with the alum and alkaline soil they bought, and then dried and carded it.  It can be sold¡±

    Qifu Mo nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "After shearing this crop, we have to wait for a while. You said it would be great if the wool was available every day."

    The wife was stunned after hearing this. Wool is available every day, so how much does it cost?

    Thinking of this, Qi Fumo suddenly remembered the woolen knitting machine and the knitting machine that he mentioned to Bayan today.  It is said that this kind of wool knitting machine has been spread to several of their tribes near Jinhe.

    Qifu Mo said: "I heard that the machine invented by the noble people of Jiuyuan can spin wool into thread. This kind of wool is more expensive if it is obtained from the Han people. Now everyone is rushing to buy it. You can also take the time to go to the tribe and ask about it.  There is a machine that sells this kind of machine, and I will learn how to spin wool from them."

    His wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't need to tell me about this. I've already found out about it. Today, a Han man came to the tribe to sell this kind of machine, so I bought one. It's only twenty pounds of fine wool, which is fine."  It¡¯s not expensive, and they even taught us how to use it.¡±

    "As he said this, Qifu Mo's wife opened the tent door of Qionglu and led Qifu Mo in.

    Qi Fumo discovered that since he started shearing sheep, even his wife spoke to him much louder.

    Entering Qionglu, Qifu Mo found that his second daughter-in-law, second daughter, and third daughter were sitting on the ground, combing the newly dried wool, holding special wooden pegs with countless sharp wooden nails in their hands.  A smell of mutton rushed towards me.

    Everyone is combing the wool, which is to use flat wooden combs to comb the wool that has been washed, dried, and remove impurities into long, fluffy and soft wool braids.

    This is all money!

    I heard that the Han people did not use much wool to weave woolen cloth, but one piece sold for thousands of dollars, so it was very valuable.

    ¡° Selling wool is just hard-earned money, but it is not a long-term solution after all!  Only by learning how to spin and weave can the whole family have hope!

    Qifu Mo has been raising sheep all his life, but he has never seen wool made into soft, warm, and beautiful cloth. It really makes me miss it.

    The wife walked to the corner of the dome house, picked up something that Qifu had never seen before, and said, "This is the machine I bought today. The Han people say that wool is woven with this machine."

    Qifu Mo looked at the object carefully. It was made of wood with long and thick ends and a fixed wheel-like structure in the middle. It looked quite simple.

    ¡°I heard this is called hammer spinning!¡± said the wife. ¡°With it, we can spin the wool into wool.¡±

    As he spoke, his wife began to operate a bit unfamiliarly and clumsily in front of Qi Fumo.

    She first wound the combed wool around the wooden stick in the middle of the utensil bit by bit, then turned the so-called 'stick spinning' upside down and started spinning.  Although it seems very slow, the fluffy wool is really slowly carried by it, and gradually turns into a thin yarn.

    Qi Fumo¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw it. The skills of the Han people were really amazing.

    Qifu Mo¡¯s wife looks at itThe husband's eyes were dull and he said with some complacency: "I'm not familiar with it at the beginning. When I become proficient in it later, I can spin faster. I heard that there are women in several tribes near Yulin to the west who spin every day and night.  A pound of wool."

    Qifu Mo asked: "How to use this wool?"

    "I heard that you can use bone needles and wooden needles to directly tie the wool into shawls, sweaters and even trousers."

    Qifu Mo didn¡¯t know what clothes made of wool looked like.

    The wife said nonchalantly: "When all these wool are sold, I plan to use them to build a big house, like the house of the Han people! I heard that they built it with adobe, which is strong and can protect them from wind and rain. It is nothing like our dome house."  , when it rains and winds, there will be wind and water leakage everywhere. Then we will ask Han craftsmen to build some animal pens and dig some cellars for us! This house will be solid."

    Looking at his wife¡¯s expectant eyes, Qi Fumo was also full of expectations. These days will always get better and better.

    As a small noble of the tribe, Qifu Mo never expected that his life would be so good after he became a householder and unified the people.  Originally, they were all opposed to it, but now they are all the same when these idiots see them. Who can stand it?

    Later, the Han people's bloody suppression frightened them. Qifu Mo immediately accepted the Han people's policies and sent his son to the Sui army, hoping to protect them.

    He also figured out that in these years, the most important thing is to live well.

    There are many Hu people like Qifu Mo. Most of them are middle-level figures in the tribe. They were not purged on a large scale by the Sui army. Instead, because they supported household registration and unified the people, they conveniently used their power to get many more shares than others.  livestock, and then took advantage of their ability to understand Chinese and communicate with Han people, and learned the technology first.

    Many of them were very courageous. With the help of the Han people, they actually started doing business with the Han people, and each of them made a lot of money.  They wore silks and crowns and became gentle people.

    Qifu Mo thought that after the Chinese New Year, he would have to send his fourth and fifth sons to school. Only by learning the culture of the Han people could he truly integrate into them and gain their recognition.

    Now, all the men, women, old and children in these tribes are busy shearing sheep, and no one misses and cherishes the past tribe.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
