Lu Zifei was still unsatisfied when he saw that his family's stomach was round, so he stuffed the corn cob that had eaten the corn kernels into his son's hand, Xue Ning took it and threw it at his son, saying, "Is it interesting for you to bully a person who eats every day?" ”

Lu Zifei said curtly: "I don't think he wants to eat, you don't want to eat today, if you eat again, the toilet will be full tonight, I will stew a corn pig's hand for you tomorrow morning, and then a corn soup." ”

It was only after they said that they stopped the idea of going to the field to break corn, Lu Li took a sip of tea and said: "Xiao Fei, the thirty acres of kapok you planted can be harvested, what do you say you planted that thing for, no one in our family knows how to weave, and the old farmers nearby say that you are a complete loser." ”

Kapok? Lu Zifei thought for a while before he realized that his father was talking about cotton, and he thought that there was no cotton in the Song Dynasty? In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, cotton entered China from the Western Regions and Vietnam, Malaysia, and he was quite surprised when he saw it for the first time, and this year he let his family plant 30 acres, cotton is a good thing!

"Does my father know that there are people around here who pick cotton? Ask some people to come back and pick them all at home. ”

Lu Li said: "There are people in Pucheng, Weibei, I don't know about other places in Shaanxi, there are still thirty acres of cotton picked back at home and put it, you find a way to put it yourself, I will find it for you." ”

When Lu Zifei sleeps at night, he still can't forget the benefits of cotton, cotton quilts and cotton jackets are warm in winter! He thought of who the reformer of cotton in history was, as if he was a person from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Huang Daopo, the pioneer of China's industrial revolution, a woman who has suffered a lot since childhood, is a child daughter-in-law of someone else's family, and she can't live in her mother-in-law's house, so she fled from Zhejiang, and her hometown is called Wunijing.

Later, she learned advanced technology in Hainan, and returned to her hometown to teach the advanced technology to the villagers.

It's simple to think about, Huang Daopo reformed the direction of the textile industry has four, rolling, playing, spinning, weaving these four aspects, the core of these four steps is the bullet, her bullet is a "bow", just an enlarged version of the bow and arrow, just do it.

In the middle of the night, the carpenter at home was called, and the two of them worked all night to draw a drawing that both of them were satisfied with, Lu Zifei yawned and went to sleep, leaving the carpenter alone to be busy before and after.

Lu Li heard the tinkling sound in the backyard after breakfast, and when he saw the drawings of the extra-large bow, he asked, "What is this, is it used for war?" Can this man pull away? ”

The carpenter said: "Don't move the head of the house, this drawing was drawn after a hard night's work, it is used to play cotton, I am still the first time to see this kind of tool, I discussed it with the Hou Ye and felt that it worked, the master of the house is fine, don't bother me here." ”

All right! I remembered what happened to my son yesterday, and I have to find someone for him, Weibei is still some distance from here? Let's send a message and ask someone to help find a few people! I really don't know it.

Pang Ji heard that Lu Zifei's family was going to harvest cotton, so he came alone in a carriage, thirty acres of cotton was almost the same as not planting in Pang Ji's eyes, what he cared about was why Lu Zifei planted cotton for no reason, and then by the way, how about the grain called corn.

Lu Zifei, who rested for two days, began the industrial revolution in his mind, the tools on the drawings have been made, and when the craftsman was playing, Lu Zifei felt that the rural people in later generations also played wool like this, and the practice of wool felt was similar to this.

"What are you doing? In full swing, weaving? Pang Ji looked at it for a while and asked.

Lu Zifei raised his head and said, "Playing cotton, haven't you seen it?" ”

Pang Ji touched the soft cotton in the past, and he noticed that there was not a single seed in the cotton, and the most difficult thing to deal with in the cotton was the seeds inside, so many people were reluctant to plant, but he saw that the craftsman was working very hard, and the speed of cotton production was also very fast.

A person can do the level of the provincial party secretary, the city government must not be said, Pang Ji is also very familiar with agricultural affairs, this set of cotton tools he is sure that he is the first time to see, cotton cloth in the Tang Dynasty is a cherished item, to the Song Dynasty is not so scarce but more valuable than linen, in Shaanxi where there are few people and more land is also a new way out.

"Did you come up with this big bow? Looks like it's working pretty well! ”

"Of course, you don't look at who I am, cotton is something I think about day and night, cover the cotton quilt and sleep adults, you think about that feeling yourself, is it comfortable to think about it."

Pang Ji said: "You just came up with this set of tools for the cotton quilt? ”

Lu Zifei said incomprehensibly: "The quilt is just an accessory, adults know that the winter in the north is particularly cold, and the soldiers stationed in Zhending Mansion, Hejian Mansion, including Qingzhou, Yan'an Mansion, and Lanzhou can't go out to fight in winter, and they can become icicles in the blink of an eye, and cotton can perfectly solve this problem." ”

"Oh, to be specific, I didn't know cotton still had this effect."

Lu Zifei said: "Perfection can be made into cotton clothes and hats and gloves like quilts, and the soldiers are not afraid of the cold, so the advantage of the northern peoples in winter is not so great, and in turn, Perfection can also take the initiative to attack them." ”

Pang Ji said: "It sounds like that, can your tool weave cotton into cloth?" ”

"Sure, this is the success I have been doing for several days, the cotton cloth should be on a scale, and the planting amount in Shaanxi alone is a little small."

Pang Ji hated iron and said: "The Great Song Dynasty has lost too much land, cotton likes drought, and a large area of land in the north is in the hands of foreign races, Western Xia and Xizhou Uighurs are good places to grow cotton, but unfortunately it is not ours." ”

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "It should be ours, no one can snatch it, and I still have to rely on recovering these lands to accumulate a little more credit for my son?" Cotton is not good, but I have found a good thing, which can definitely kill the party and the people of Liao. ”

Pang Ji said happily: "You kid has one bad idea after another, but I like it, and there will be a reward for saying it." ”

"My lord, let's talk about the reward first, and I will tell you when the reward is good."

"Insatiable, isn't it, now someone in Chang'an said that you cheated in the exam, I'll help you get this done, how about it."

Lu Zifei said: "Some people say that I cheat, it's the best joke I've heard in the past year, my lord, why don't you post my test papers in the township examination and let those who are not convinced see it." ”

Pang Ji said: "You said your good things, don't meddle in this matter, you will be self-defeating if you get in, the more messy it is, I will help you deal with it, you don't think about that champion all day now, it is to be able to have multiple archways, and the others are the same as other Jinshi." ”

Lu Zifei said: "You people from the yamen, the official words are two mouths, it's not up to you to say, forget it, don't worry about you, I'll tell you a story first, the name of this story is 'sheep eat people'." ”

Pang Ji said: "I'm not in the mood to listen to your story, I want to hear something that wants the lives of the people of Western Xia and Liao." ”

Lu Zifei showed a mysterious smile and said: "This story must be heard by adults, it is said that one day, a man found that wool could be made into something for sale, and then he sold the news to a nobleman.

This nobleman was ecstatic when he found out that he could really do it, he began to keep enclosing the land and raising sheep, and then the ordinary people all lost their land and raised sheep for the nobleman, and the result was that the ordinary people had no place to live, and the money of a country fell into the hands of a few people. ”

Pang Ji said confusedly: "Then no one resists?" I think the grudge will explode after a long time. ”

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "There are indeed people who resist, but have adults thought about it, people are selfish, money and power cover the eyes of those who resist, and things are still in a repeated cycle, repeatedly." ”

Pang Ji sighed: "Your analysis of human nature is very deep, the sheep did eat people, in essence, it is still the greed of human nature, I want to know what is the connection between this story and the question I asked you?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "Because I found that this set of tools for playing cotton can also play wool. ”

Pang Ji didn't turn the corner and asked: "What are you doing with wool, what are you doing with wool, are you saying that wool can also be woven into cloth?" ”

"Yes, wool can be woven into cloth, made into clothes, can also be spun into thread, and can also be made into felt.

"It's more difficult to implement than the plan you proposed at the beginning, and it's more difficult to control. ”

Lu Zifei said: "No, this matter is countless times simpler than economic warfare, it is your lord, you want to be complicated, as long as we use wool to weave cloth and make clothes, then we can import wool from Western Xia and Liao at a high price, when the benefits are high enough to bear in their hearts, the next thing will be exactly the same development as in the story I told you." ”

"Don't talk so fast, let me sort out my own thoughts."

Taking advantage of Pang Ji's time to think, Lu Zifei went to the chili field, a large red field, and the tenant who was waiting for the chili pepper asked: "Son, what should we do with this chili now, our family will definitely not be able to eat it all." ”

Lu Zifei said: "I forgot to explain to you, now I will take off all the red colors, wear them with rope, take them back and put them on the kang at home to dry." ”

The tenant continued to ask stupidly, "What about after the roasting?" ”

"Do you need to ask after drying? Of course, the seeds in it are detached, and the rest is not the chili noodles we eat now, I wrote to tell those people in Luoyang, don't waste it for me, there are not many seeds. ”

After teaching the tenants, Pang Ji said with a smile: "Threesome, there must be my teacher, you can really be my master in this kind of thing, killing people in the invisible conspiracy!" After being taught, it is true that sheep can eat people. ”

"You have less intrigue a day, I don't think it's a difficult thing for you to do."

What else can Pang Ji do but smile bitterly.
