In this era, men were responsible for farming and weaving, that is, men were responsible for farming in a household, while women raised silkworms, reeled silk, and woven silk silk at home, which were sold in the market for money and subsidized for the family.

Even in the era when money was not very developed, silk silk could be directly used instead of money, and was directly used to buy food or other applications.

It can be said that silkworm weaving is one of the necessary skills of ancient Han women.

Ling'e, these women are the daughters of ordinary people, and they are naturally very familiar with silkworm raising.

She took Liu Ping's silkworm scripture for a long time before asking: "Master, the slave maid has also raised silkworms at home before, and I also know a little about the habits of silkworms, this thing is extremely sensitive to cold and warm perception, so only spring silkworms and autumn silkworms are raised, and now it is the end of autumn, if you raise silkworms, you will freeze to death, right?" ”

Ling'e asked Liu Ping to put it bluntly, Liu Ping is also a theoretical emperor, but in fact he is an operational scumbag, he only remembers how it is written in the books of later generations, but he has really never seen what silkworms look like.

However, after all, he wrote the silkworm scripture, and knew that the future generations would never only raise two seasons, seven or eight seasons, as long as the silkworm room was heated and the constant temperature of the silkworm room was maintained.

But how could people in this era not think of such a simple truth as heating the silkworm room?

Actually, they should be able to think of it, but no one does it.

Just because in this era, every household raised silkworms independently, and the scale was small, and the silkworm room was warmed, and the silk silk woven was not enough for charcoal.

It's a loss-making deal, and no one would be so stupid.

Liu Ping came from later generations, but he knew that there was a word called "scale effect", a seemingly unprofitable business, as long as it was on scale, it became a business that made a lot of money.

For example, the cost of burning charcoal is bound to be very high, and it is not cost-effective to calculate how to raise silkworms, exclusive single-family breeding, and heating the silkworm room alone.

However, if it is large-scale farming, the cost of charcoal burning can be infinitely diluted, or even negligible.

You know, he doesn't want to make a fuss.

After all, he was in charge of more than 40,000 homeless people, of whom there were not 8,000 peasant women who could work, but 5,000, plus the silkworm raising and weaving techniques written in his "Silkworm Sutra", it is impossible to say that he could produce astronomical figures.

In this era, the Han Dynasty had stopped minting coins, and the silk silk woven was hard currency.

So he didn't answer Ling'e's question, but waved his hand and said, "Go down and study hard, you don't have to worry about the rest, I have my own arrangements." ”

An old servant took Ling'e and the others out of the study, arranged them in a small courtyard in the corner of the house, and left.

At this time, the ten of them can only be regarded as servant girls at this time, not concubines.

As long as they become concubines, they are equivalent to half masters, so they have to do everything themselves at this time.

A few little girls looked around, this small courtyard was quiet and elegant, very quiet.

Even when there was no turmoil, they were ordinary civilian daughters, and where they had seen such a luxurious courtyard, they looked east and west one by one, and felt fresh everywhere they looked.

At this time, there were no outsiders, and the girls regained their lively nature and chirped.

"I thought I would serve a bad old man in the future, and I wanted to die on the road when I came, but I didn't expect our master to be so young, but I don't know what his official position is."

"Seeing that he is not a few years older than us, he can live in such a big yard, I guess at least he is a captain."

In the hearts of these civilian women, the lieutenant was already the biggest official they could think of.

In fact, for ordinary people, the official position of the governor is indeed not small, just like Han Hao, who previously managed Shanyang County as the commander of the farmer, which was the parent official of a county, and the fate of tens of thousands of people was in his hands, he was simply a soil emperor.

It's just that Liu Ping belongs to a related household, and he is already a pawn farmer who is equivalent to a county guard from the beginning, which is of course unimaginable for a group of girls who have nothing to do.

At this time, a round-faced girl giggled and said, "What does the official position have to do with us?" Anyway, we all have to serve, I think the most important thing is that our master is good-looking, a little more delicate than our neighbor's Rokuro. ”

"Phew, you little girl is Sichun, why didn't you hug your master's thigh just now and beg for sleep?"

"You dare to laugh at me, see if I don't scratch you to death......"

A group of women chased and played, and only Ling'e sat alone on the stone bench, looking at the silkworm scripture in a daze.

It turned out that she opened the bamboo slip and looked at it, and the records in it were complicated, which was beyond her imagination.

This seems to be more troublesome than taking care of a baby, how can there be such a silkworm?

This is probably the book that the master came up with sitting in the study and patting his head.

In fact, the sericulture technology of the national dynasty tended to be perfect in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the specific process was divided into bathing silkworms, silkworms, feeding silkworms, one sleep, two sleeps, three sleeps, foil, mulberry picking, big rising, catching, upper clusters, burning foils, lower clans, cocoons, cellar cocoons, etc.

The procedures are complicated, and it is indeed more difficult than taking care of a baby, but at this time in the Later Han Dynasty, everyone raised more extensively, and those advanced technologies have not yet been invented, so it is no wonder that Ling'e does not understand.

When the women saw her in a daze, they stopped the chase.

She was almost fourteen years old, the oldest of them, so everyone respected her.

"Sister Ling'e, let's come here, the master looks very kind, and he doesn't embarrass us, and he gives you a book to read, it's much better than you imagined, why are you still stunned."

Ling'e sighed and said, "This book given by the master is too bizarre, I'm afraid it's not very practical.

Besides, all of us have raised silkworms, but who has ever seen silkworms raised at this time?

The master is high, he should not have done these vulgar things, let us raise silkworms at this time, probably let him down. ”

All the women nodded their heads, most of them had also helped their mother take care of the silkworm room at home, and most of them were cleaned at this time, and no more silkworm seeds would be raised.

"The master seems to be a good person, but he doesn't know about farming, let us raise silkworms at this time, I'm afraid we will have to lose money."

"But the master doesn't listen to us, and he doesn't let us sleep, we are just ordinary maids."

"Waiter bed, you know waiter, is it possible that you are in such a hurry to be a young grandmother?"

"You dare to laugh at me, see if I don't scratch you to death......"

……

Liu Ping said that he would do it, and immediately instructed the housekeeper to find a craftsman to renovate the silkworm room that could be warmed.

The housekeeper told him with a bitter face, in fact, there was no money in the family account, Liu Ping smiled and ordered, don't worry about doing it boldly, Prince Cao will pay the bill.

The housekeeper hurriedly went to find a craftsman, and the master opened his mouth to let Cao Dagongzi pay the bill, what else is there to worry about?

Things progressed quickly, but in just three days, according to Liu Ping's plan, a warmable silkworm room was arranged.

This silkworm room is only used for silkworm breeding, and in the future, silkworm weaving will be arranged to his base camp, Shanyang County.

Because it requires a lot of manpower, the place is too small to arrange.

He, the pawn farmer, will be the supreme governor of Shanyang County, and Han Hao will definitely not dare to discount his orders.

When the craftsman was paid, the steward led the craftsman to Cao Ang's house.

Cao Ang paid very happily, and this little money was not in the eyes of Cao Dagongzi at all.

But as soon as he heard that Liu Ping wanted to raise silkworms, he immediately chased after him with the housekeeper.

Cao Taiwei's righteous grandson, Cao Yuanjun's nephew, actually did this kind of woman's thing, and spread it out without letting the world laugh to death?

At this time, Cao Ang stood in front of Liu Ping, and said helplessly: "Brother Xian, if you feel bored, Brother Fool can accompany you to hunt on horseback, and you can also inspect the barracks, thanks to you, now Brother Fool also has 3,000 men and horses, you see how Brother Fool trains, it's better than you nesting at home to raise silkworms, right?"

You're not afraid to make people laugh? ”

Liu Ping smiled and said: "Big brother, as long as you give enough money, don't worry about anything else, you can just follow me to receive credit when the time comes." ”

"Can you still make meritorious contributions by raising silkworms?"

Cao Ang pursed his lips but didn't believe it, although he had made a lot of contributions to Liu Ping before, and he was convinced of Liu Ping's ability to make meritorious contributions.

But the meritorious service of raising silkworms does not sound very reliable, even if you weave a hundred and ten silks, how much merit does it have?

The point is, it's embarrassing......
