On the day of July, there were two major events affecting the textile industry in Xinxi Kingdom, one was the improvement of spinning machines and looms; The second is the emergence of simple foot-operated sewing machines.

"I heard that the new loom is two or three percent faster than the old one!" Aunt Mu chatted with Sun Siyuan, and when she talked about it, she was impressed. The weaving industry in Xinxi is developed, and the technology of manufacturing looms is the best in this world.

"And what kind of sewing machine, I heard that making clothes is not fine, but it can't stand it fast! Someone compared the cloth, and the master of the garment shop had just sewn the needle well, and the sewing machine sewed two pieces of cloth together! ”

As a carpenter's family, Aunt Mu has some understanding of the things that these carpenters go out, although the sewing machine is not all wood, but it is also a carpenter's hand.

"I didn't expect that!" Sun Siyuan didn't expect it when she said it, but she was even more shocked in her heart, people's creativity is infinite, and she couldn't imagine that these working people, who were defined by her as ancients, actually had such great wisdom.

She couldn't help but think that maybe the people of this world would be able to build a spaceship themselves without waiting for her to teach her skills......

After a lunch at Aunt Mu's house, Sun Siyuan slowly turned back home.

After Zhao Youqian arranged the work of soy sauce, he was empty, picking water to water the ground every day, and occasionally going to the chicken coop to have a look. Today he went to the mountains, saying that he wanted to hunt some game and come back to taste it, and went out in the morning, brought some fruit and left.

"Little rabbit, open the door......" humming a song, he opened the door and moved the rabbits out of the room and into the yard for them to play. Because of the abundant food, these rabbits are getting fatter and fatter, and they are very lazy, although Sun Siyuan thinks these fat dumplings are very cute, but he is afraid that they will "die of fat", so he has to forcibly get them out of the room every day to let them out.

A few male rabbits are a little interested in the long dishes in the yard, and they circle around and eat a few bites occasionally. The female rabbits lazily moved from the sun to the shade and never moved again.

"Dead fat man......" Sun Siyuan gritted his teeth.

"Forehead......" Zhao Youqian, who came in against an alpaca, was stunned when he heard Sun Siyuan's words. Isn't his "weight loss" quite successful, Sun Siyuan hasn't said he's fat for a long time, what's wrong?

"Huh, Caoni...... Alpacas, where did they come from? Sun Siyuan didn't realize Zhao Youqian's doubts, but looked at the alpaca that Zhao Youqian put down with bright eyes. Isn't this a legendary beast? Didn't you say that this thing lives on a plateau at an altitude of several thousand meters above sea level? How did Zhao Youqian get it?

Zhao Youqian was not surprised at all: "I put the hanging rope on the mountain, I caught it alive, and I saw that it had a lot of hair, so I brought it back." I heard from the people in the village that the meat of the alpaca is not delicious, so let's keep it. I thought to myself, can we raise more sheep, find some long-haired, and suitable, to do this wool business! Like a chicken coop, if you make it bigger, you should also make money. ”

Sun Siyuan is no longer entangled in the matter of alpacas, it is estimated that the growth environment of alpacas in this world is different from those mythical beasts he knows, after all, natural selection, survival of the fittest, maybe alpacas prefer these hundreds of meters high hills in Tongzhou County?

She turned to think about Zhao Youqian's words.

If you do wool business, the market is still very broad, after all, the world's clothing is mainly cotton, more new materials, people must be happy to accept, although can not be sold at a high price like silk, but the profit must be huge.

"How can Zhao Youqian be so motivated, I like it so much!" Seeing that Zhao Youqian didn't speak, Sun Siyuan didn't speak, and she was already thinking crankily in her heart. Oops, she is getting lazier and lazier, but Zhao Youqian is becoming more and more diligent!

"Siyuan? Siyuan, do you think what I said? Zhao Youqian saw that Sun Siyuan had not spoken, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? Oh...... Hmm......" Sun Siyuan came back to her senses and seriously thought about the feasibility of this matter. Inexplicably thought of the "enclosure movement" of "sheep eating people" in England, if the wool weaving industry really developed, would there be people like the British aristocracy in the fifteenth century, enclosure sheep, making the people miserable?

I guess I'm thinking too much! Sun Siyuan comforted himself, it is said that the current emperor is still very wise and martial, he probably won't let that kind of thing happen, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

"Then let's open up some more land, plant grass and feed the sheep, like the widow of the king, who has experience in herding sheep, we can ask her for help, and give her some wages." Well, you can also let the children mow the grass for money, well, you can't cut too much, the ground will be bald......" Sun Siyuan was chattering there by herself, Zhao Youqian simply ignored her, buckled the alpaca, and went to the kitchen to find food.

Today's policies encourage farmers to open up wasteland, but there is a limit to how much land each household can open up each year. Sun Siyuan's family opened a total of 35 acres last year, of which five acres were given money, but they were not registered, and they were left to register this year.

With money in his hand, Zhao Youqian opened twenty-five acres at once, and the cash was settled, the village chief couldn't help but exclaim, this Zhao Youqian Sun Siyuan is really capable!

"Sheep should be carefully chosen, grass seeds should also be specially cultivated, well, although the land is opened, but there is still busy!" Holding the title deed, Sun Siyuan is beautiful in her heart, although it is a wasteland, as long as her grass seeds are "cultivated" well, she can also raise sheep!

There is not much wasteland in the village, this piece is simply contracted by Sun Siyuan's family, others see it, envy and jealousy, but there is nothing to say. People have the ability to make money, who doesn't let their own family have it? I heard that Sun Siyuan's family is going to hire someone to plant the tree again? Hurry up and sign up, and you can also earn a few small dollars to spend!

Although Sun Siyuan wanted to plant the tree and enclose the sheep house as soon as possible, after all, it was July and the sun was very hot, so she could only move the plan back a little.

However, Zhao Youqian has already ordered a lot of red bricks from the kiln factory in the town, ready to build some sheepfolds. After building a house four times in more than a year, the people in the village really felt that Zhao Youqian's family was "rich".

"If we have money, let's go to other places together to see what breeds of sheep are suitable for raising wool and have to adapt to the climate here." Sun Siyuan planned to go around the nearby county with Zhao Youqian and pick some suitable sheep to come back.

Zhao Youqian naturally would not object, and he also felt that he could only know what kind of sheep met his needs after he went to see it.

Bringing some snacks and water, with a sufficient amount of money, the two of them set off in a carriage, only the old lady Gu knew that the two of them had gone far away, because Sun Siyuan entrusted the rabbit of the family to the old lady......
