Chapter 772: The profit from industry and commerce is ten times that of agriculture and mulberry
Turning his gaze back to Emperor Lu, he didn't know Aguda's plan at all.At this moment, he was looking at Yelu Chun and Yelu Dezhong father and son with great interest.

Lu Qian originally thought that after Yeluchun and his son arrived in Yidu, they would lurk for a while, and then use the opportunity of the Jockey Club to integrate into the upper class of Yidu after the opening of the Zishui stadium.But I never thought that although Yeluchun's family entered the Jockey Club, it was the workshop he opened that made him famous in Yidu.

wool.No, more accurately a cashmere and cotton wool blend.

Emperor Lu never got a suitable long-wool sheep, and the existing sheep wool can only be spun into some thick threads, and the felt cloth woven into felt cloth can only be worn by the most inferior people in the Northland.Although it is quite warm, it has not formed a large scale.Because ordinary herdsmen in Saibei do not know how to weave at all, and because of the living habits of nomads, it is difficult to keep them tidy in daily life, which makes the felt cloth have a faint smell of mutton, and because of the living environment of the herdsmen, it is clean and tidy. For them, it is a fantasy, even some tribal nobles can't do it.This is an easy breeding ground for lice and the like.Anyway, it's hard to find a big enough market for that thing in Khitan, and Khitan nobles all wear silk in summer and fur in winter.

In the past, most of the textiles imported from the North to the Central Plains were beautifully woven carpets.

It's just that Emperor Lu kept his eyes on the cotton, long-haired sheep, and turned a blind eye to the goats. Therefore, the "velvet brown" that was recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty did not appear in the Office of Internal Affairs.Since Li Dao took over the Office of Internal Affairs, he has been staring at the outside, hoping that when he can find excellent long-wool sheep outside.

It can be said that Emperor Lu is quite familiar with the wool textile industry, and he has subconsciously forgotten about cashmere.

Although high-quality wool is frequently imported from outside China in later generations, [-]% of the cashmere in the world is produced in China. The cashmere of the Tibetan antelope is known as soft gold and is the best of the best.So much so that the deterrence of national laws cannot stop criminals from taking risks, going deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and hunting Tibetan antelopes in the vast and barren land.

It's all for profit.

Emperor Lu forgot about cashmere, and Yeluchun and his son didn't understand so-called cashmere, but Yeluchun had a good wife, and Yelude had a good stepmother.

It was Mrs. Xiao Pu who came up with the concept of "goat hair", because there are seven Tibetan antelope shawls from Tubo in her wardrobe, which are produced in Tubo.It is light and warm, and is regarded as a treasure by Xiao Puxian.

It is also based on Xiao Pu Xiannv's proposal, with a correct entry point, that Yeluchun has achieved where he is today!
Because people can use their brains, after knowing the extraordinaryness of Tibetan antelope, goat hair was further differentiated, and the existence of goat cashmere was discovered naturally. Yeluchun only needed one order, and he saw that afternoon. The cashmere is as pure and white as cotton.

Cashmere is different from wool.

The most obvious difference is that the two are born in different places. Cashmere can also be said to be cashmere. As the name suggests, it grows on goats.

The wool is of the sheep.

Herdsmen shearing sheep is like shaving their hair, while cashmere is like combing their hair.

Before the goat has time to shed, it is knocked to the ground and the cashmere is ripped off with a large, wide-toothed iron comb.The fluff covered with combs is called "raw cashmere", which is a special name for cashmere raw materials that still contain dust, grass and coarse hair.

Then segment.In later generations, the annual cashmere production of an adult goat is only three to four hundred grams, and if it is cleaned, the weight will drop sharply to about 50 grams.It takes the output of five sheep to weave a light and extremely warm cashmere sweater.

In the 21st century, annual wool production has already exceeded one million tons.The cashmere output is only 2% more than the former and is insufficient.

Yeluchun was already asking people to distinguish wool, because he had people spin cashmere into thread, and then weave it into a shape that was about the same size as the shawl in Xiao Puxian's hands, which was not as good in terms of feel and thickness.He naturally thought of the quality of the raw materials and the thickness of the cashmere, although even so Yeluchun had already become famous.But he is not satisfied, right?It's just that cashmere needs to be manually separated, and the workload is too great, but in this era, it is extremely difficult to manufacture a plush separation machine.

He later had cotton mixed with sheep's wool, and the final result was quite gratifying.At least as a textile, this blend has gained market acceptance.Although the sensation is not as huge as the previous cashmere!
It can be said that he opened up a broad road for Emperor Lu's wool spinning business.As long as the small workshop is made bigger and stronger, it can be said that it will be a lot of money.

But people are thinking about offering them all.

"Why?" Emperor Lu felt very puzzled.Not to mention the blended fabric, only cashmere, but it attracted countless praises as soon as it was born, and its lightness and warmth are amazing.As long as Yeluchun hooks up with connections, such as the Office of Internal Affairs, he will get a cornucopia.

"Don't dare to hide this from your Majesty. In fact, this kind of transaction involves too many aspects." Yeluchun didn't feel a pity in his heart.Yet his mind was clear.

Whether it is cashmere or blended, first of all, there must be enough workers and raw materials to make it big.However, workers are easy to find, but raw materials are hard to find.

Goat breeding in the mainland of the Central Plains is not large-scale at all. If you want to collect cashmere on a large scale, you must go to the northwest and northern Saipei.And judging from the quality of cashmere, the cashmere produced in the Central Plains is not as good as that of the northwest, especially Qingtang.

But how much investment is required to do this?That must be endorsed by national power!
Yelu Chun thought about it over and over again, and discussed it several times with Xiao Pu's daughter and children and grandchildren, and decided that it would be better to throw it away.Because this matter has already involved the court, how much benefit can the Yelu family retain with their current small stature?Even though Emperor Lu looked at Da Libo's face and didn't look too ugly, this was not really a good thing for the Yelu family.The limelight is so strong!

"All the reasons, the old ministers have already written on the notebook, please preview it." Yelu Chun respectfully handed over the memorial, and He Le at the side stepped forward to take it.

Lu Qian glanced at the memorial, but did not open it immediately, but felt Yelv Chun's determination. "Since you insist on it, I will accept it. But I don't want to take advantage of you in vain. Your Saburo is good at martial arts, and he has experienced many battles and rich experience. Let's just go to the five tents of Yeluma as a general."

Yeluchun shuddered suddenly, his eyes widened, he heard correctly.Emperor Lu asked his grandson to leave his official position... Yeluchun burst into tears at this moment. "Old minister lost his composure, old minister lost his composure."

Lu Qian didn't intend to release Yelu's family at first, but he planned to hold him down for another two years, waiting for Emperor Tianzuo to be dealt with.So it's no wonder that Yeluchun did what he did, it was a surprise and a great blessing to his family.

As for why it is Yelu Zonglei, the youngest, it is because there is a second elder brother above him, and he has no blessing to think about the title.

After Yelu Chun calmed down and the meeting came to an end, Lu Qian asked him what his future plans were.Yeluchun only needs to say a few words, and Lu Qian can serve tea to see off guests.

"The veteran thinks that investing in a workshop is a good way to get money." Yeluchun opened his mouth and replied.Here in Yidu, there is Zishui in the west, Mishui in the east, and water flow there. Water power can be used in spring, summer and autumn. It is the two major workshop gathering areas outside Yidu City.

Yelv Chun's workshop was built on the bank of Mi River.

"Veterans only invest money and share shares in juniors who are right in their eyes, and don't personally participate in the management. Even if some people lose their money, some people will eventually become bigger and stronger. The benefits of this business are ten times that of Nongsang. "

This is Yeluchun's personal experience during these days.Investing in business and industry is far faster than farming. If nothing else, just his small workshop, even though it is dedicated to the Emperor Lu, in exchange for great benefits, he is not at a disadvantage in terms of money.The price of the cashmere fabric it produces has surpassed silk brocade.Is it rare?And in Yidu City, there were countless legends about getting rich, which he heard all over his ears.

　The temperature in Henan has dropped recently, and my daughter has had a fever for two days, and it never goes away.She doesn't drink milk or water, and she vomited today.Already hospitalized.

　　So there will be less updates in the past few days, everyone is understanding!
