Turning his gaze back to Emperor Lu, he didn't know what Ah Guta's plan was going to be. At this moment, he was looking at Yeluchun and Yelude in front of him with great interest.

Lu Qian originally thought that after Yeluchun and his son arrived in Yidu, they should first lurk for a while, and then use the opportunity of the Jockey Club to integrate into the upper class of Yidu after the Zishui Race Race opened. But I never thought that although Yeluchun entered the Jockey Club, it was the workshop he opened that made him famous in Yidu.

Wool. No, more precisely, a blend of cashmere and cotton wool.

Emperor Lu never got suitable long-haired sheep, and the existing sheep wool could only be spun into some thick threads, and the woven felt cloth was only worn by the lowest people in the Northland. Although it is quite warm, it has not been formed on a large scale. Because the ordinary herdsmen in Saibei do not know how to weave at all, and because of the living habits of the nomads, it is difficult to keep them tidy every day, so that the felt cloth has a faint smell, and because of the living environment of the herdsmen, it is a fantasy for them to be clean and tidy, that is, some tribal nobles can not do it. This can easily breed lice, etc. It is difficult to find a large enough market in the Khitan, and the Khitan nobles wear silk in summer and fur in winter.

In the past, the textiles imported from the Northland in the Central Plains were more beautifully woven carpets.

It's just that Emperor Lu's eyes have been staring at the cotton, long-haired sheep, and he has turned a blind eye to the goats, so the "velvet brown" recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty has not appeared in the Internal Affairs Office. Since Li Dao took over the internal affairs office, his eyes have been staring outside, counting on when he will be able to find excellent long-haired sheep outside.

It can be said that Emperor Lu is quite concerned about the wool textile industry, and he has subconsciously forgotten about cashmere.

In later generations, although China's high-quality wool frequently needed to be imported from abroad, seventy percent of the world's cashmere was produced in China, and the cashmere of the Tibetan antelope was known as soft gold, which was the best of the best. Even the deterrence of national laws cannot stop the lawbreakers from taking risks and going deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to hunt Tibetan antelopes in the vast and barren land.

That's all for the sake of profit.

Emperor Lu forgot about cashmere, and Yeluchun's father and son didn't understand the so-called cashmere, but Yeluchun had a good wife, and Yeluchun had a good stepmother.

It was Xiao Pu who came up with the concept of "goat hair", because there were seven Tibetan antelope shawls from Tibet in her wardrobe, which were produced by the genus Tuban. Light and warm, it is cherished by Xiao Puxian.

It is precisely based on the proposal of Xiao Puxian, with a correct entry point, that Yeluchun has reached the point where he is now!

Because people can use their brains, when they know the extraordinary nature of Tibetan antelope cashmere, the goat hair is further distinguished, and the existence of cashmere is naturally discovered.

Cashmere is not the same as wool.

The most obvious difference is that the two are born in different places, cashmere can also be said to be cashmere, as the name suggests, it grows on goats.

but the wool is made of the sheep.

Sheep shearing is like shaving hair, while cashmere is like combing hair.

Before the goat has time to shed its hair, it is pushed to the ground and the cashmere comb is ripped off with a large, wide-toothed iron comb. The fluff that is wrapped around the comb is called "raw cashmere", which is a special name for the raw material of cashmere that still contains dust, weeds and coarse hair.

Then subdivide. In later generations, the annual production of cashmere on an adult goat is only three or four hundred grams, and if it is net treatment, this weight will drop sharply to about 50 grams. It takes the production of five sheep to weave a lightweight, yet extremely warm cashmere sweater.

In the 21st century, annual wool production has long exceeded one million tons. However, the production of cashmere is only 2% more than the former, and it is insufficient.

Ye Luchun was already asking people to distinguish between wool, because he had people spin cashmere into threads, and then weave them into a shape the size of the shawl in the hand of Xiao Puxian, which was inferior in both feel and thickness. He naturally thought of the quality of the raw materials and the thickness of the cashmere, although even this had already made Yeluchun famous. But he's not satisfied, is he? It's just that cashmere has to be manually distinguished, and the workload is too great, but in this era, it is difficult to make a plush separation machine.

Later, he had cotton mixed with sheep's wool, and the end result was quite encouraging. At least as a textile, this blend has been recognized by the market. Although the sensation caused was not as great as the previous cashmere!

It can be said that he opened up a wide road for Emperor Lu's woolen industry. As long as the small workshop is bigger and stronger, it can be said that it is a source of money.

But people are thinking about giving them all.

"Why is that?" Emperor Lu felt very puzzled. The blend is not to say, only cashmere, but as soon as it was born, it caused countless admiration, and its lightness and warmth are breathtaking. As long as Ye Luchun hooks up with a door, such as the internal affairs office, he will get a cornucopia.

"Don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty. In fact, the various aspects involved in this kind of transaction are really too large. "Why don't you feel pity in your heart? However, his mind is clear.

Whether it is cashmere or blended, it must have enough workers and raw materials to become big first. However, workers are easy to find, but raw materials are hard to find.

Goat breeding in the interior of the Central Plains is not large-scale at all, and if you want to collect cashmere on a large scale, you must go to the northwest and the north. And from the quality of cashmere, the cashmere produced in the Central Plains is not as good as the northwest, especially Qingtang.

But it takes a lot of investment to do that. That must be backed by the power of the state!

Yelu Chun thought back and forth, and discussed with Xiao Puxian and his children and grandchildren several times, thinking that it was better to lose it. Because this matter has already involved the power of the imperial court, how much benefit can the Yelu clan retain with their current small body? Even though Emperor Lu looked at Alibi's face, his appearance would not be too ugly, but this was not really a good thing for the Yelu family. The limelight is too strong!

"As soon as the reason for the situation is done, the old ministers have all been written on the fold, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to preview it." Ye Luchun handed over the fold very respectfully, and Hele on the side stepped forward to take it.

Lu Qian glanced at the music and did not open it immediately, but felt Ye Luchun's resoluteness. "Since you insist, I will accept it. But I won't take your benefits in vain, your Saburo has good martial arts, and he has experienced a lot of battlefields and has rich experience, so let's go to Yelu Ma's five tents as a general. ”

Yeluchun shuddered suddenly, his eyes widened, and he heard correctly. Emperor Lu called his grandson out of ......, and at this moment, Yeluchun burst into tears. "The old minister is out of shape, the old minister is out of shape."

Lu Qian didn't plan to release Yelu Yimen, he was going to press it for another two years, and wait for Emperor Tianzuo to clean up. So it's no wonder that Yeluchun did this, this is an unexpected joy and a great blessing for the family.

As for why it is the third Yelu Zonglei, it is because there is a second brother on top of this guy, and he has no Fu Xiao to think of the title.

After Yeluchun calmed down and the meeting came to an end, Lu Qian asked him again what his plans were for the future. Ye Luchun only needs to say something simply, and Lu Qian will be able to serve tea to the guests.

"Lao Chen thinks that investing in the workshop is a good way to make money." Ye Luchun opened his mouth and replied. Here in Yidu, there is Zishui in the west, Mishui in the east, there is water flow there, and water power is carried out in spring, summer and autumn, which is the two major workshop gathering areas outside Yidu City.

Yeluchun's workshop was built on the banks of the Mishui River.

"Lao Chen only invests money and shares for those juniors who see the right eye, and does not get involved in business. Even if some people will fold their capital, there will be people who will become bigger and stronger in the end. The profit of this industry and commerce is ten times that of agriculture. ”

This is Yeluchun's personal experience during these days. Investing in industry and commerce is far faster than farming to make money, not to mention anything else, just his small workshop, now don't look at it and dedicated it to Emperor Lu, in exchange for great benefits, but he will not suffer a loss in terms of money. The price of the cashmere fabric produced by it has surpassed that of aya brocade. Is scarcity expensive? And in the city of Yidu, there are countless legends of making a fortune, so that he hears it all over his ears. (https:)
