Chapter 672: Cotton and Wool Textile (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)

The reaction of Huba and others, Luo Cheng saw it in his eyes.

But he was also happy to see that everyone attached so much importance to this object, after all, he had made it all happen.

The development of science and technology is not a one-day thing, but requires long-term persistence. If a group of scientific researchers can be trained, the benefits for the development of Daxia are self-evident.

After solving this stubble matter, Luo Cheng returned the leading power to Huba and others. If the steam engine can be mass-produced, then many of Luo Cheng's plans can be implemented.

Whether it is mining or the automation of many industries, the consumption of manpower is reduced. At the same time, more free labor can be put into other jobs and promote the development of Great Xia.

With the unification and the special promotion of the imperial court, potatoes have long been planted in the Tiannan and Haibei regions of Great Xia. Even if the environment is limited, the yield has been affected by a certain amount of virtuous nephews, and it is much better than before.

It can be said that today's Great Xia is countless times better than the previous dynasty, at least everyone can eat enough. I will not die of hunger, let alone cause chaos because of famine.

Even during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, the life of the people may not be easy, because in the event of a disaster, Emperor Wen was unwilling to take out the grain in the warehouse, and finally left it to the anti-kings from all walks of life.

This frugal disposition is sometimes a good thing, but more often than not, it is a bad thing. If we can't make the people's lives stable, how can the world be stable?

As long as he can stabilize the hearts of the people, even if Luo Cheng leads his troops to the Quartet repeatedly, there will be no problem. The initiative is in the hands of the imperial court, and there is no local forces to cause chaos.

After solving the problem of the workshop, Luo Cheng put his mind at ease.

Seeing that Huba and the others were working again, Luo Cheng also left.

Luo Cheng also remembered another thing, since the pacification of the Turks, the relationship between the two sides has become closer and closer. There was even a lot of trade, the cattle and sheep on the grassland were sold into Daxia, and the silk, porcelain, tea, and the like from Daxia were exported to the outside world.

In fact, over the years, with the opening of trade routes, Hu's father has long sold these things to the Western Regions. Including things like broken intestine wine, they are also best-selling good things.

But most importantly, in addition to cattle and sheep, a large amount of wool was also sold. Although there were many wool fabrics in the future, there are no such conditions now.

Since ancient times, China's silk weaving industry has been extremely developed, and silk is an extremely rare luxury in both the Western Regions and the Mediterranean, because China's technology in this area is very strong.

But in the wool textile industry, there is no such strong technology. It's not that wool and the like are useless, but it's really wasted, which makes Luo Cheng a little helpless.

If this wool can be used, it will undoubtedly turn waste into treasure, and even change the customs of today's people. Because silk was too expensive, the technology of cotton weaving had not yet appeared, and most people wore linen cloth.

So Luo Cheng's purpose is here, he has to find a way to sort out the wool textile technology and cotton textile technology. This is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and with the promotion of the steam engine, it will inevitably greatly promote its development.

After deciding, Luo Cheng found Hu's father and asked him to find a group of textile craftsmen. Although the silk weaving industry in the north is not too developed, there is no problem in finding some craftsmen.

Today's father Hu is no longer the businessman he used to be, and he has already entered the court as an official after the founding of the Great Xia state. It's just that the management aspect is still closely related to business, and it has a lot of power.

Father Hu was a person who knew advance and retreat, although he didn't know what Luo Cheng wanted this thing for, but he didn't disobey it, but honestly found someone for Luo Cheng.

It took more than a day for Hu's father to complete the task, and this speed was satisfying. In fact, Luo Cheng also took advantage of this time to have a few tools come out.

If you want to carry out cotton and wool spinning, it is natural to use some special tools. Only by using reasonable technology can we achieve the effect that Luo Cheng wants, there is no doubt about it.

In fact, the technology of the textile industry has been manual for a long time. It even consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is naturally inefficient and superimposed.

If you want to make a fully automatic machine, Luo Cheng is obviously powerless, after all, the steam engine has only been made, and it is not possible to be too ambitious. Luo Cheng was not prepared to do this.

In fact, the steam engine is only one of the initial powers, and the conversion rate is extremely low. But Luo Cheng has no choice, he wants to get the internal combustion engine out of it, but he doesn't allow it.

Because these things not only need technical support, but also basic matching. Even the steel is not up to standard, and how to make these things with higher precision has to be done slowly.

Unlike wool, cotton has been cultivated in China for a long time. It's just that because there is no weaving technology for a long time, it has been silent and not known to others.

The most well-known to later generations is the improvement of textile technology by Huang Daopo of the Yuan Dynasty. The textile efficiency of cotton has been greatly improved, and it has also allowed it to enter thousands of households, replacing the status of hemp to a certain extent.

After all, cotton still has its advantages, if there is no benefit, how can it be recognized by others?

Anyway, Luo Cheng has made it, and the technology is already there, so it doesn't take much effort to directly let the craftsman make it. The reason why Luo Cheng asked Hu's father to gather textile craftsmen was just to spread.

Compared with the steam engine, these technologies are undoubtedly simple, so Luo Cheng did not spend much time.

The predecessors have verified that Luo Cheng is only responsible for publicizing it, and as for what others think, it is not in Luo Cheng's consideration.

In the workshop, the textile craftsmen who were summoned looked at Luo Cheng and looked a little frightened. In today's world, ordinary people see the powerful, and they are in this state.

In fact, this is also a manifestation of the Huaxia official standard, everyone is afraid of power, and naturally they are eager for power. If you can enter the officialdom, the situation will be very different.

However, Luo Cheng did not behave too domineeringly, he was very calm, looked at everyone and said: "You are all textile craftsmen, I don't know if you have heard of wool and cotton?"

These two things, everyone has naturally heard of them, but they nodded hesitantly, and Luo Cheng said with a smile: "Then I wonder if you have heard of the method of weaving wool and cotton?"

Speaking of this, everyone shook their heads in confusion. Limited by the times, the craftsmen have not yet known.

Luo Cheng didn't care, and waved his hand lightly: "It's okay, I summoned you here today to teach you the method of weaving, and I will try it for the time being, and it will be widely spread in the future."

If Luo Cheng wants it, the effect of its practical official channels is even better, and he still has other ideas, so he naturally has to gather a group of people to experiment first.
