Chapter 374: Making Cotton Cloth
"I didn't mean that, I just don't think you can make you work for nothing."
Xu Hui refilled Li Zheng with a cup of hot tea, wanting to say more, but she blushed a little when she thought of it.
Since His Majesty gave himself to Li Zheng, it stands to reason that he is Li Zheng's person.
It is also a matter of course to do things for Li Zheng.
In the future, he and those palace maids will serve the lives of Li Zheng and Princess Changle.
It seems that in Li Zheng's eyes, he is not Li Zheng's person.
Thinking of this, I felt a little aggrieved.
Xu Huisan kept silent, and plucked up the courage to say: "We are the people of Chang'an Ling, and we will serve Her Royal Highness the princess and Chang'an Ling's life in the future, we are the slaves of the concubine, and we will do whatever the concubine asks us to do, if we receive the money from the concubine, wouldn't it be a joke." ”
As a palace maid in the palace, it seems that they have a very deep-rooted concept of master and servant.
"So you still don't want to take this money?"
Xu Hui bowed down and said: "We are palace maids, the princess marries the princess is a royal person, the princess is also a royal person, we serve the royal people, if we receive the money from the concubine, what kind of people will we become, and if we ...... in the future"
Speaking of this, Xu Hui blushed and lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes.
Li Zheng was puzzled: "What will be in the future?" ”
Xu Hui was a little aggrieved and whispered: "In the future, if the horse wants us to do something, we will also collect the money from the horse, what kind of people will we become, wouldn't it be the same as those women." ”
After listening to Xu Hui's words, Li Zheng let out a long sigh.
finally understood what Xu Hui meant, it was natural for the palace maid to serve the royal people.
There was never a word of paying or not paying, and from the moment their family sent them into the palace, they were the people of the palace.
The only one who can determine their identities is Li Shimin.
If Li Shimin is fortunate to be with them, they can be regarded as having an identity, and this identity may not even be considered a concubine.
But it's always an identity.
Ancient women were sensitive to this identity and important to them.
Now these women Li Shimin has given to himself, in other words, these women are the family property jointly owned by himself and Li Lizhen.
If they sleep with them in the future, they should be willing.
If they receive money, won't they be like the women of Pingkangfang in the future?
It was a little complicated, and Li Zheng covered his forehead in pain.
In a sense, they are part of the family.
Giving them money also seems to be disrespectful to them.
After thinking for a while, Li Zheng said: "Then let's do it, I won't give you money, I can give you some cloth and silk, so that you can also make a dress for yourself." ”
Xu Hui bowed and said, "Thank you Chang'an for your generous gift." ”
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, and I didn't quite understand what the ancients thought.
There are some entanglements, Xu Hui's reminder is very correct, and she has never dealt with the palace maid.
This is the first time that such a question has been considered since the time travel.
Collecting money is not necessarily right, and for these palace maids, if they collect money, they will make other palace maids despised.
This is their dignity.
Li Zheng said to Xu Hui: "You take a few palace maids to count all the merchants in Jingyangfang City first." ”
"Understood, let's do it." Xu Hui received the words and left.
Melancholy, too melancholy.
Li Zheng was thinking with a headache, what is Li Shimin's reward, sending so many palace maids.
It is not wrong to let these palace maids take care of Li Lizhen's life in the future.
Putting away his thoughts, Li Zheng took out the heavenly creations, which also recorded the textile technology.
It was only in the Song Dynasty that people began to use cotton for weaving.
Textile technology has been developed since people started making clothes in order to adapt to climate change.
It can be regarded as a long inheritance.
The handmade textile industry has also developed for many years.
Today's Datang textile machinery is still a little backward, and the production efficiency is not high.
And the price of cloth is also high.
Ordinary people weave their own cloth, and those who buy those silk satins can only be afforded by wealthy families.
The textile machines of the Ming Dynasty were very close to modern times.
The textile efficiency is higher than the cloth speed, which is the most important thing.
In the future, the more cotton you plant, the more cotton cloth you can make, and now the most circulating linen cloth in Datang is linen.
Ordinary people also wore coarse linen, and silk could only be worn by powerful families.
Li Zheng is flipping through the heavenly creations, and the first thing is to make cotton cloth.
The cost of cotton cloth is lower than that of silk, and the texture is much worse than that of silk.
It's much better than linen.
Now I think about the clothes worn by the children in the village will be left behind, and as the children grow taller and can no longer wear the old clothes, the old clothes will be kept for other children to wear.
For a long time, the clothes of each family were worn by the children in turns.
With cotton, you don't have to worry about having no clothes to wear in the future.
Leave the affairs of governing the country to others to do, and it is good to be a salted fish with peace of mind.
As for those things that have achieved fame, it is better to leave them to others.
Earning money is the right way to go, mmmm!
Cotton cloth made from cotton is another big business.
It's a great thing to think about, and it's one step closer to your dream of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich and retiring before the age of 30.
The handmade textile industry of the Ming Dynasty was very close to modern times, and even the handmade textile industry of later generations basically used spinning wheels during the Ming Dynasty.
It was not until the industry developed that the traditional technology of hand-weaving slowly declined.
Li Yifu bought a textile machine from Chang'an, and Li Zheng began to transform it into a spinning wheel that could make cotton cloth.
Li Chunfeng went out of the customs and returned to Jingyang Village, and also took Yuan Tiangang with him.
Seeing that Li Zheng was dismantling the loom, Li Chunfeng asked arrogantly: "Is Li Zheng planning to weave?" ”
"I'm going to make cotton."
Yuan Tiangang didn't quite understand what Li Zheng was talking about, so he just stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is said that you Li Zheng knows all kinds of work, but I didn't expect that you can even weave cloth." ”
It seems that Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang are in a very good mood.
Li Chunfeng said: "According to what you said, the poor Dao has sorted out the big data again, as you said, the poor Dao can't just count but ignore the current changes, Your Majesty is now also determined to add mathematics to the imperial examination." ”
"Good thing." Li Zheng poured tea for the two of them.
"It's true that there is a specialization in the art industry, but now there are few scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and if you want to increase the number of scholars in the Central Plains, it is not enough to encourage the imperial examination."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Reading is useless, reading is useful, and it depends on the specialization of the art industry."
Li Chunfeng thought for a while and said: "Reading is useful, so there will be more readers?" ”
"That's right, reading books, reading all kinds of books, and after reading books, people can use the knowledge and abilities they have learned in books to do useful things."
"If it's really as you said, Poor Dao also has to write his own Taoism in a book?" Li Chunfeng said.
