Chapter 118: Textile Association (I)
Write down the things you think about in your heart, and wander around, the big boss walks around, and the work below is naturally careful.
Early the next morning, Luo Heng got up, and Luo Heng, as the lord, was the protagonist of the spring festival.
changed into a dress, and then came to the place of the spring festival, where Luo Heng personally carried grain seeds from the warehouse.
After Luo Heng made his move, many people behind him carried the seeds.
When he came to the ground, Luo Heng personally put the grain seeds into the seeder, and then sowed them with his own hands.
The spring festival is the beginning of sowing, the ground has been tidied up, the speed of the seeding machine is very fast, driven by livestock, more than a dozen seeding machines quickly sowed a large piece of land.
At noon, there was an additional meal, of course, there was no shortage of food in Luo Heng's territory, eating meat and drinking wine.
The spring festival is over, of course, this is relatively simple on Luo Heng's side, if there is a territory related to the temple of nature, then you have to go to the temple to worship.
Gold coins were issued, both adults and children, that is, giants, and there was no concept of gold coins.
The rest of the people, whether they followed Woods, joined spontaneously, orcs, or even half-elves, were very aware of the value of the gold coin.
Some civilians, who have never seen a single gold coin in their entire lives, now have several gold coins at once.
Luo Heng is issued according to the capitation, even if it is a baby, it will be distributed, so many families have five or six gold coins, which is a huge amount of money.
In the afternoon, Luo Heng issued citizenship certificates to some people, formatted things, Luo Heng personally signed them, and then the citizens just pressed their fingerprints.
For these citizens, Luo Heng also gave some benefits, ale, cloth, animal skins, etc., the animal skins here are cattle and sheep skins, which are relatively cheap.
In the evening, there is a grand bonfire to celebrate the planting of seeds.
Luo Heng is not short of gold coins or food, of course, he is doing very well, and everyone is very happy.
In the Barony William's territory opposite Luo Heng's territory, many civilians moved their minds.
Although there are still some bones on those pillars in Luo Heng's territory, this is nothing, because this world is like this, it is okay inside the territory, but outside, subject to the relationship between information and population density, it is really chaotic.
Luo Heng found that he was getting lazier and lazier, and it didn't take long to sit on a spinning machine and a loom by himself.
But in the end, 0.3% of the energy was consumed to create a set of machines using nanobots.
There was a lot of wool in reserve, and Luo Heng found a few half-elves to clean the wool.
The sheep breed here is really good, it has something to do with the climate, and the wool is long and dense, which is the fine wool.
The wool is washed, then degreased, these are not very difficult things, and then it is dried.
Spinning is also very simple, a ball of wool in the hand, a foot to turn something, the other hand will twist this ball of wool into a thread of about the same thickness, and then you can continue.
Luo Heng tested it for the first time, and the thickness of the spinning thread was not very uniform, but it was much better the second time.
"You try it. Luo Heng pointed to a half-elf woman and said.
The half-elf woman sat in Luo Heng's place, spinning the thread while turning her feet.
The first time I was in a hurry, and after more than ten minutes, I gradually mastered the skills.
Luo Heng was a little skeptical of his thoughts, what were these half-elves going to do, they were naturally preparing to enter the textile industry.
Now the price of cloth in this world is very high, mainly related to craftsmanship, and the clothes on many civilians are patches.
Industry is inevitable, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the business of any era is done around these four industries.
Besides, the beasts, monsters, and livestock on the side of the Orc Empire have better hair quality, and the sweater is much warmer than linen, and it is still strong.
Luo Heng has been soaking here all day long, in fact, if you have a sweater, you can weave cloth or make your own sweater.
How to make a sweater, Luo Heng didn't know, but Luo Heng had seen it, and it took a lot of brain cells to finally get it.
It's nothing more than a few needles, such a half-elf has already gotten started, in fact, the work of spinning depends on a vision and proficiency.
Of course, it is also possible to spin the yarn mechanically, but Luo Heng thinks that it is not necessary, because it will make many civilians still unable to buy cloth.
Hand-spinning gives a part of the profits to the commoners, so that the civilians have an extra income, and they can still do it at home.
"It seems that a textile association must be established, otherwise the common people will still not be able to afford cloth. Luo Heng pondered in his heart.
decided to go to the Magician Guild, this matter must have a strong support, the Magician Guild is just right to do this, as for the Bright Sect, Luo Heng is not very willing to deal with these people.
There are many magic airships in the Dukedom to go to the Magic Holy City, basically once every two days.
Nicole was reluctant to go this time because Nicole had a lot of things on her hands to deal with.
"Cheney, why are you here. Coming to the Alchemy Association, Kuisen was surprised when he saw Luo Heng.
"President Kuisen, I came here this time mainly for two things, I need to ask the Alchemy Society for help. Luo Heng said.
"Something, you say. Kuisen took Luo Heng to his office, poured Luo Heng a cup of tea, and asked very heartily.
"First, I want to see the knowledge of potions and poisons, but it's just basic. "Luo Heng is ready to make pesticides.
In fact, before there were no chemical pesticides, some people had already used pesticides, such as throwing some poisonous plants into the latrine to kill the larvae of flies.
Another example is throwing poisonous leaves directly into the rice field to kill the insects inside.
What Luo Heng needs is these relevant basic knowledge, and then refine, test the medicinal properties, etc., the main thing is drug residues.
Some pesticides have a very short residue period, while others have a very long residue period, and the short ones are of course healthy in comparison.
But then again, the standard of pesticide residues may be greatly reduced, because each pesticide residue standard is only one, but what we eat, it is impossible to have only one, and I don't know how many kinds there are, so many kinds of accumulation.
"That's fine. Quison immediately clapped.
"Second, I want to establish a textile association ....... Luo Heng said his thoughts about Balabala.
After hearing this, Quison asked, "Duke Cheney, do you think it's necessary?"
"President Kuisen, this dress is needed by everyone, you first look at the quality of my sweater, the wear resistance is several times that of Mai, and the cost is one-third of Mai, how big of a market do you say this is?" Luo Heng took out the sweater.
The sweater was made according to the human figure, and Quison stroked it carefully, and then his mental strength moved.
"Is this wool?" asked Quison.
"It's wool, it can be other wool, rabbit fur and whatever. Luo Heng said.
"But why did you form the Guild?" asked Quison.
"Benefit, I have invented a machine for weaving yarn, and a new loom, which can bring some benefits to the common people's families, but I am not worried about the nobles and merchants, so I decided to establish a textile association, and the profits for the common people must be guaranteed, otherwise the use of these machines will not be authorized. Luo Heng took out the drawings and spoke.
Hearing this, Quison was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully at the drawings, and then at the data.
"And how big do you expect this textile association to be?" asked Quison.
"Tens of millions of gold coins. Luo Heng said.
"How is it possible, how much do those civilians earn in a year?" Quison exclaimed, in disbelief.
"Brother, you ignore one point, that is, these civilians can make money spinning and weaving, and they can also raise sheep, and even wool can be sold for money, you take a closer look at this cost price, wool is the lowest, the highest is the processing of wool, this can be handed over to the Alchemy Association, after all, there are some potions in it, the rest is textile, and the final sale, everyone involved in this, has money to take, you think about it, in this way, these civilians can afford to buy clothes, not to mention more, each civilian family buys one piece every year, it is how many piecesIn addition, there are those nobles who are sweaters made of cashmere, you think, with these sweaters, who wants to wear a thick leather coat in winter, at most a fur coat outside. Luo Heng felt a headache and had to explain.
"Come with me. "Kuisen is not stupid~ son, Luo Heng said it so carefully, he naturally understood.
The big business of tens of millions of gold coins, the Alchemy Association did not dare to say so.
Besides, Luo Heng's starting point is good, to establish a textile association and keep the profits in the hands of ordinary people, what is the purpose of doing this?
It's not for the development of the industry, once the people who make wool can't afford to buy clothes, then the industry won't last long.
President Ryan personally read the information brought by Luo Heng, and heard Luo Heng's thoughts, and then said: "Duke Cheney, your idea is very good, but there are many things involved, I don't know how to distribute this association when it is established?"
"President Lane, I said that I don't have any idea about this textile association at all, do you believe it?" Luo Heng said.
"And where do you get the benefit from?" asked Ryan very directly.
"Wool, rabbit fur, I can get a lot of cheap raw materials from the orcs. Luo Heng said.
"This matter needs the authorization of the Council of Elders, and you leave these materials behind, and the union will do an appraisal. Ryan spoke.
The information is one thing, and Lane also recognizes the information, but the union has the rules of the union, so it must be identified.
"Duke Cheney, I have another question, I wonder if you can explain it?" After Luo Heng nodded, Ryan asked again.
