This cotton is much more important than pepper, and pepper makes sausages, which is just the icing on the cake, but who in the world can go without clothes?

Especially now, as the main clothing materials of cheap clothing, hemp and arrowroot, far less warm than cotton! And whether it is fur or the down jacket that Wang Hou crossed, it is not something that ordinary families can afford.

And, for the sake of the Xiaoice Age, which is still in the abnormal climate! The first winter that Wang Hou crossed over, in one word to describe the Han Dynasty he saw, that is, it was too fucking cold! I almost didn't freeze my fart!

"Prime Minister! You want to crusade against Yuan Shao in the north, but in my Central Plains, the winter is already cold! Further north, it is called the land of bitter cold, and if you want to gain a foothold in the four northern states, you need better clothing! And this cotton is warmer than fur! ”

Cotton can bring changes not only in clothing culture, but also in politics and military, the Han people of this era are not later generations by the Confucian culture and education of the weak Song can be compared, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period inherited, the blood of the Han family is still very hot, the fierceness of the Han army is not lost in Liaodong, the nomadic nomads on the grassland, the only thing that restrained the Han Empire from gaining a foothold in the north is the bitter cold land!

With Shanxi as the outpost, the soldiers went out of the Datong Basin, first occupied the naturalized city of Tumochuan, that is, Hohhot in the later generations, built a city there, and used coal to burn the kang and cotton to make cotton clothes to keep warm, and even Wang Hou's head came out of the prairie was full of Han troops, carrying a halberd to kill the old Hun peasants and Xianbei old peasants to silent tears, and the scene of camel bells ringing in his ears was so beautiful that his eyes were full of little stars.

However, holding the cotton cloth that wiped his mouth and staring at the appearance of this thing almost floating, after a while, Mr. Cao's pupils were full of caring and mentally retarded eyes.

"Ten times a horse of white cloth, only three times of inferior fur, why don't you buy fur directly?"

"Prime Minister, the white cloth is imported from the Western Regions, thousands of miles away, of course the price is expensive, planted locally on a large scale, and then spun cloth to make clothes, then the price will fall!"

Although Wang Hou was full of enthusiasm, but looking at him, Cao Cao's pupils were still full of caring for the mentally retarded, if cotton was easy to raise, he would not have raised these trees for so many years, or as ornamental plants.

However, the comrades at the bottom were full of revolutionary enthusiasm and could not be attacked, and Wang Hou could be regarded as giving an explanation for picking his garden, and looked at Wang Hou like a stupid fork, and Mr. Cao finally waved his face downward like a fly.

"Let's go down and do something!"

What is this called?

I thought that taking out two things could make Cao Cao Zhen a mess, like being hit by five thunders! Full of disappointment, Wang Hou also stood up and clenched his fists in a daze.

"Son-in-law retires!"

"Wait! Cotton is made of cloth, and pepper is stored for meat, so what do you do when you dig up the pomegranate tree in its true form! ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Wang Hou suddenly laughed again, and laughed at the back of his head.

"Isn't this Changle going to be weaned recently! I happened to see the branches of my father's pomegranate tree flourishing, and the son-in-law planned to get her some pomegranate juice to drink......"

Bang dang~

The beard trembled, and Mr. Cao was so angry that he smashed the box directly.

…………

"They all say that the next generation is a liar!"

The head was smashed up with a big bag, and it didn't get good for three days, standing on the hillside, rubbing the meat bun on his forehead, Wang Hou was still humming stupidly.

Beside him, Cao Hongjie was smiling like a little vixen and covering his mouth, and joked happily: "The husband dug up the treasure of the father's heart, and the father didn't cut you with a big board, which is enough to save face!" ”

"Isn't this also to support his granddaughter!"

muttering and rubbing the bag, Wang Hou immediately bared his teeth and shouted again.

"Hey! How to build the beams? I can see that it is crooked, sir! ”

It's really an urgent thing, and he really took the matter of pepper seriously, and when he came out of the prime minister's mansion, he organized a team of masons in the palace and cement to start building a warm cellar on the same day.

Not to mention, the war promotes the development of social sciences in a certain aspect, it is true, the First World War II laid the foundation and pattern of the world before Wang Hou crossed, and the Guandu War also promoted the development of Xuchang's construction industry. Now there are six or seven small coal kilns on Funiu Mountain! Even cement has three more competitors, not to mention grabbing business, and not even giving Wang Hou a patent fee.

Fortunately, the smelting formula of steel has always been in the hands of Wang Yuan and several loyal craftsmen, and coking, iron smelting and steel filling are still disposed of in three batches of craftsmen, so that Wang Hou retains this core technology.

The materials are sufficient, Wang Hou is still a big landlord, and the manpower is also sufficient during the slack time in June, and in only three days, two ugly cement houses like the big barns in the countryside in later generations were treed.

In fact, the warm cellar of the Western Han Dynasty has, the book of the Later Han Dynasty also clearly recorded the Eastern Han Dynasty palace with the warm cellar in the winter to cultivate the deeds of vegetable leeks, the technology is not new, the house is built two rows of kang, but the interior is not directly burned with smoke, but set aside a few ceramic firing ditches, the other end is connected to the stove, into the winter when the air is cold to burn the stove, the semi-open ditch transpires up the heat, not only to achieve the purpose of keeping warm, but also to increase the humidity in the air, which is conducive to the growth of vegetables and fruits.

The only difficult point to deal with is the roof, because Wang Hou has no glass, can not make a glass dome, if you want to raise plants, there is no sunlight and can not live, in desperation Wang Hou had to spread two thin barbed wire on the roof, not to keep warm, to block the hail to become.

Or this era is good, the whole mountain is Wang Hou's, what homestead is not homestead, rural hukou urban hukou, just on the edge of the avenue, directly more than 800 square meters, 16 small rooms, if you just raise pepper wood, a room of 50 trees, a room is more than 800 trees, a income of about four stones, 400 stone pepper, can guarantee the number of sausages promised by Wang Hou to Mr. Cao.

However, this is also an ideal state, and now there are only four pepper trees poured out from Mr. Cao, and it takes two to three years for pepper to grow, that is, it will take at least three years to ship.

Fortunately, the use of sausages as military food is not an imminent matter, there is no rush for cotton yet, and the warm cellar can not only cultivate pepper wood! There were no supermarkets these days, before

"Punctuality! The net is safe! If I'm not satisfied, don't even think about getting paid! ”

The two nets are crooked, and I can't care about the pain at this time, rubbing the bag on my head, Wang Houzhen screamed angrily like Zhou Papi, looking at his appearance, Cao Hongjie couldn't help but shake his little brain in distress.

At this moment, at the bottom of the mountain, Wang Gongzi ran panting to the warm cellar halfway up the mountain, shouting as if he was out of breath as he ran.

"Sir! Master! ”

"General Zhao Yun and Zhao are back!"

"Oh!"

…………

Whether it is reasonableness or interests, for Deng Yi's family, Wang Hou has to pay attention to it, the warm cellar is thrown away, and Cao Hongjie is brought down, and Wang Hou personally greeted him at the foot of the mountain.

But when they met, Wang Hou couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, Zhao Yun did bring a carriage back, but it was obvious that his expression was not good, he was extraordinarily dignified, leading the horse, his face was black and blue, seeing Wang Houlai, he put down the reins of the horse, he hurriedly walked over, bowed down with his fists in a heavy bow, listening to his gloomy words, Wang Hou's face was also ugly.

Stunned, Wang Hou turned his head to look at the carriage, but hesitated, then walked to the front of the carriage, stretched out his hand and opened the curtain of the carriage.

In the carriage, there was a little boy of three or four years old, although he had changed his clothes, he could still see that he was thin and malnourished, and his eyes were extremely dull and numb.

"I'm your father's friend, come, come to my uncle!"

Obviously feeling a sense of woodenness, the little boy was sluggish, and then he looked at Zhao Yun behind Wang Hou, and in his slight nod, the little boy jumped out of the car in a daze and walked towards Wang Hou's side.

"What's your name?"

"Deng Ai."

After half a second, the little boy replied without emotion, and Wang Hou, who listened, couldn't help but sigh again, but then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Your father works far away! Entrust you to your uncle! In the future, you will live with me! I'm thick, but I have a mouthful of food, and I will never go hungry for you! ”
