Super Patriarch System

Chapter 423

Huakai’s mind in Hwaseong is focused on the next step of nation-building, and he must determine the future development direction of Gaoliu County before then.

The workshops led by the Hua family are being expanded. On this day, Huakai and Urentuya left Huacheng and the tribes at the foot of the mountain watched the herders command the slaves to shear the wool.

“What will you do if you cut the wool?” Hua Kai said to the person in charge of the ranch here as he watched the slaves cut the wool skillfully.

All the ranches under Pingdingshan belong to the Hua family, and all the people in charge of the ranches are the Hua family. Sheep must be sheared every spring in the pasture, otherwise the sheep will get sick from the heat.

“Patriarch, what else can this wool be used for? It was buried in pits.” The Hua Jiading returned.

“Throw away such good wool? Wouldn’t it be made into a wool coat?” Hua Kai couldn’t help asking.

“This…a coat made of wool can only be worn by slaves. The smell is too heavy and heavy. The color is ugly, and the key is troublesome.” Jiading was a little puzzled why Huakai asked these questions.

Hua Kai just remembered that in this world, wool coats are made by sticking wool to the outside of linen clothes. They look ugly, not to mention that they are not very warm.

Huakai now lacks an industry that can drive the development of all the people. If wool products are made, not only can the production problems of the people in Gaoliu County be solved, but the Huajia can also establish a closer cooperative relationship with the tribes of the grassland. He suddenly remembered “the sheep The story of “eating people”, if the Huajia can master wool textile technology, then this will be an unpredictable powerful force.

“Okay, you inform all the tribes under the mountain that this year’s wool should not be thrown away after the wool is cut. All of it will be sent to Huacheng. I will be useful.” Hua Kai returned to [Heavenly Horse Field] with Wurentuya after speaking.

“Why did you just go back down the mountain? What good things did you think of.” After Wurentuya married Huakai for half a year, Huakai often came up with some strange things, which made many small inventions in Gaoliu County more and more. There are also more and more snacks. These little things are indispensable for attracting outsiders to Takayanagi County.

“I think of a good thing. If this thing is produced, the Hua family will earn at least one million gold each year. The people of Gaoliu County, including women, can make money to support their families. All of us will not be frozen in winter.” Hua Kai said arrive.

Wool is made into coats or woolen threads. In fact, the process is very simple. The key is to select velvet, wash velvet, card velvet, and spin the line. velvet selection, velvet scouring, and carding require simple tools. With the strength of Huajia Carpenter, It’s too simple to make.

Spinning is a bit troublesome, and it is impossible to achieve a unified flow spinning in the workshop, but these can be done by the people of Takaryu County. Ascension is possible only when women have the means of making money to support their own. This is also vital to the culture and prosperity of Gaoliu County. After all, there are more women than men in this world.

Although the selection, washing and combing are simple, most people don’t know the tricks but can’t do it. Huakai called the craftsmen to Huacheng to make the equipment needed for the three processes in accordance with own requirements.

It is actually quite easy to choose wool. After washing the wool, it is dried and placed on several rows of silver wires. The distance between the uppermost silver wires is large, and the interval becomes smaller as you go down. Three layers are almost enough.

Put the wool on it and flick these silver threads, the hard wool will fall off, and the soft cashmere will be on top. The second and third layers of wool can be bounced several times, so that the cashmere can be completely picked out. .

The cashmere is selected below to wash the cashmere. After steaming and washing several times with clean water, some of the cashmere is still gray in color. At this time, you need to use some special things to wash it. Many medicinal materials here have deodorant and bleaching effects.

After washing the cashmere, it is easier to comb the cashmere, comb all the washed cashmere neatly with a comb, and remove some bad wool, so that the women can send it out for spinning, or directly make a plush coat.

In just one day, Huakai prepared all the equipment needed for the craft, and he personally produced the world’s first cashmere.

Huakai took the cashmere in front of Urentuya, and Urentuya glanced at it with disapproval: “You have been busy for a few days for this? What are you going to do, do you want to make clothes?”

“Don’t underestimate this thing. Cashmere keeps warmer than silk and fine cloth. It doesn’t look bad at all. I will let the maid try to make a spun yarn and weave it into clothes tomorrow. This wool can also be dyed into various colors and made into wool for knitting sweaters, which can be very useful!” Hua Kai said with a smile.

On the next day, Hua Kai ordered the housekeeper Hua Fu to find an open space in Huacheng, and set up factories in the open space. He brought all the tools made in the past few days to the new factory, and then called 20 female officials. , The maid gets busy together.

After only ten days, Hua Kai returned home with a robe, a coat, and a scarf. Urentuya’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw it.

“You said these are all made of wool?” Urentuya said in disbelief.

“Yes, how much do you think this dress is worth? How much is this cashmere coat and scarf worth?” Hua Kai looked at Wurentuya and said with a smile.

“This wool can be turned into such a soft clothes. It’s really unbelievable. It feels so much better than fine cloth. And this cashmere coat… it should only be bought by nobles!” Wu Rentu Ya couldn’t give a price for the value of these clothes.

Huakai and Wurentuya came to a small building by the central lake. Huang Shuyun was taking a few maids to talk to the fourth and fifth aunts, seeing Huakai coming, and the fourth and fifth aunts got up to give Huakai’s salute is about to retire.

“Aunt Si and Aunt 5, you happen to be there. I have something I want to show you. What do you think of this dress?” Hua Kai took out a robe made of cashmere and said, this one is considered to be the most labor intensive.

“This…this is not like cotton cloth, nor silk. It feels really good. Is this a treasure? It’s not like it!” Princess Ji Le is holding her two sons, the two little guys are now almost three years old. It was the time when the trouble was happening, everyone in the Hua family liked both of them tightly.

“This is made of wool with my maid. How much do you think someone can buy it?” Hua Kai asked.

“Ordinary fine cloth garments cost about 8 silver. For silk, it needs 60 silver or more. This piece is much better than fine cloth and has a softer feel. But the price should be lower than silk. 40 taels of silver should be suitable. , Son, how much do you cost to make this dress?” Huang Shuyun said.

Huang Shuyun is most familiar with the prices of cloth and clothes from time to time, she said.

Huakai thinks that this robe has about eightfold. According to the speed of selection, washing and carding, as long as there are hundreds of people in the three procedures every day, it is not a problem to comb out tens of thousands of catties of wool. The most important thing is spinning. One person spins half a catty a day, and weaves two catties a day.

It doesn’t take much effort to make clothes. It takes less than four days to make such a cashmere gown on average. Maybe it will take less than one day after the process is familiar and the equipment is improved. This means that a woman can create at least 40 silver in four days. the value of.

Hua Kai took his mother, fourth aunt, and fifth aunt to the own experimental workshop. Everyone saw that 20 maids divided the labor and cooperated. They made a lot of dirty and smelly wool step by step into exquisite clothes. This process is really too great. Strange.

“Son, this method of making wool into clothes is really amazing. There are a lot of wool everywhere. If we can make all the wool in Takayanagi into this kind of clothes, we will definitely be liked by the people. It is made of 40 silver wool. Clothes are much more durable than silk, and they keep warm in winter.” Huang Shuyun said excitedly when he saw this.

“We need to make all the wool into clothes. This is at least tens of thousands of people. I think this is the simplest and fastest process of selecting wool, washing wool and carding. We can give the cashmere to the people. Let’s do it. We give 30 coins for spinning a catty of cashmere, and we give 20 coins for spinning into a metre of cloth, so that a woman can earn 20 coins a month. I believe many herdsmen are willing to do it.” Hua Kai Dao.

Handing the cashmere to the herdsmen, the labor cost of a zhang of cloth of the Hua family is about 140 bone coins.

Hearing what Huakai said, everyone’s eyes lit up, so while the Hua family is earning more wealth, the status of women in Gaoyan County will inevitably be ascension, because a big man doing odd jobs in Gaoyan County can only cost 20 bone coins a day.

Hua Kai’s mother, fourth aunt, and fifth aunt couldn’t stay there when they heard that, they began to inquire about the details of the implementation of this method.

“Son, let the female officials at home do the weaving work! The three of us are staring at the back and nothing can happen.” Huang Shuyun said this sentence in her heart. Do it for female officials, then the meaning is different.

“Since you said so, mother, let the female officials do the wool spinning first. I will let all the ranches in Gaoliucheng send the wool over these few days! Each catty of wool… only five bone coins, when the time comes The selection of velvet, velvet washing, and velvet combing are all placed here.

After the cashmere comes out, I will tell the female officials little by little about the technology and use of the woolen yarns of different thicknesses. I will teach them the essentials of the technology at that time. ”

Hua Kai said that Huang Shuyun asked the female officials of the Hua family to invite the female officials of the Hua family. The status of the female officials of the Hua family is not low. Female officials, their abilities have all been strictly tested.

After explaining all the craftsmanship and telling the carpenter to continue to study craft improvement, Huakai stopped paying attention to wool. At this time, a news came to Huakai, which made Huakai unable to sit down.
