Chapter 665: Cotton
Wang Tianxing's view of the problem is inevitably a little superficial, but he can't be blamed, after all, each station has a different angle, and the way of looking at the problem is also different, if he can see through these things like himself that day, he estimates that he will kick Wang Tianxing to the ends of the earth.
It's not that Zhen Qian is despicable, he is not a virgin, he is not a defender, and even in his previous life, he still had the mentality of a small citizen, and what national affairs concern his own wool.
But because the position under the ass is different, those scholars are really good men and women, and if someone moves the privileges of the scholars, it will be the result of endless death. Why did the imperial power suppress the scholars, wasn't it because they were worried that the growing power of the scholars would affect the imperial power?
"As long as the four major scholars in the southeast do not return to Datang for a day, the monitoring of them cannot be relaxed for a day!"
Thirteen 800-stone sea ships, each with at least more than 200 people on board, the entire fleet is 2,000 or 3,000 people.
Most of these people have little combat effectiveness, and most of them are sailors and pulpers, but there will always be hundreds of people in the home guards, and if the destructive power of these people dares to be taken lightly, it is that the construction of the Wufeng Islands in the past year has returned to the pre-liberation period.
Zhen Qian was a little depressed, the population exploded in later generations, and there were few places on the earth where there were no people to live, and he also came up with a family planning law that exterminated human nature, preventing people from having more children, and now Datang encourages childbirth, and the population is only eight or ninety million, and there is not even a ghost shadow in many places.
In later generations, many countries, including Russia, thought of many ways for population growth, the more children they had, the more state subsidies they had, and they could also reward the title of a heroic mother.
The Wufeng Islands also encouraged childbearing, and also took out the methods of later generations, first for six years without education, and then for a child to be rewarded with a consistent amount of money every year until the age of sixteen, and if a woman gave birth to a third child, she could also get a large amount of childbirth subsidies.
Even after the hospital appeared, the hospital took care of the matter of giving birth, so that women could really have children who wanted to have children, had children with confidence, and raised children without worries.
Zhen Qian wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Wufeng Islands, but in the end, he relied not on immigrants or Tang people, but on islanders who were born and raised here. But that should be more than a decade later.
Of course, the family who can enjoy such treatment must be a first-class citizen of the island.
It is very simple to get the treatment of a first-class citizen, that is, one of the husband and wife must be of Han blood, must receive Han education, and abide by the customs of the Han family, if it is a Wa or Silla people...... It is impossible to enjoy such treatment.
The Han family on the island is very popular, because not only can they get the treatment of the first class citizens on the island, but also in housing, land, education, medical care, taxation, etc., they are all given priority to the Han family, which has caused a situation where the people with Han blood are superior to others.
Although Zhen Qian did not like the slavery system, he divided the people of the entire island into first, second, and third classes, and the third class was the lowest.
If a person from the Wa Kingdom, the Silla Kingdom, or even the Balhae Kingdom had talent, craftsmanship, or whimsical ideas, or military exploits, they could be treated as second-class citizens.
Needless to say, the Tang people had a high sense of superiority in front of these foreigners, and the people who came from the heavenly kingdom were naturally first-class nobles.
When Zhen Qian married the widow and the Silla girl to the Tang people, those women were even more excited than the later generations who drove BMWs, which made Zhen Qian completely speechless.
It's no wonder that all countries in later generations have had Chinatowns.
Zhen Qian sent Wang Tianxing away, sat at the desk and spread out a piece of paper, holding a pencil made of carbon black in his hand, ready to record some of the knowledge of the future in his mind.
It's been almost three years since I came to Datang, and the memory of the later life in my mind is becoming more and more blurred, without a computer, without the Internet, it is impossible to obtain new knowledge, not only that, because the longer I have been in contact with Datang, the knowledge of the previous life in my mind has become jerky, mainly because there is no communication and use.
But who can communicate with this knowledge of later generations, it seems that in addition to Zhen San's ability to understand a little, after Zhen Qian said to others, he will be tied up as crazy in the next second.
The knowledge of later generations is Zhen Qian's most valuable asset, and he can't really lose himself in this era.
When he was drawing a bicycle drawing on paper, there was a knock on the door outside the study, and a maid in the study opened the door and whispered: "The chief steward is here."
Wang Lun walked in with a wooden plate, and there was a snow-white silk wool in the wooden plate, which was very similar to the marshmallows of later generations, and saw that Zhen Qian was writing and drawing something on the paper, so he directly put the wooden plate on the desk.
"Isn't this cotton?"
Zhen Qian glanced up, immediately recognized the contents of the wooden plate, and looked at Wang Lun suspiciously, wondering what Wang Lun was doing with the cotton?
Before the Song Dynasty, China only had the word "cotton" next to the silk, and there was no word "cotton" next to the wood. The word "cotton" began to appear from the Book of Song, which shows that at least before that, cotton was not cultivated on a large scale in the Central Plains, and the origin was not in China, but from Central Asia and Tianzhu.
In ancient times, cotton was called white stacks and ancient shellfish, and finely woven cloth was called white and white. Before the Tang Dynasty, I didn't know that there was grass cotton, and the cotton cloth was mistaken for the cotton woven by kapok, and before the Tang and Song dynasties, there was already cotton cloth from the Western Regions, but the price of the white cotton cloth made was not cheap.
Cotton is an excellent material for making clothes for heating or weaving cloth.
Wang Lun said: "These cotton are all transported from Cangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, there are a lot of them, most of them have been transported to Saga Town, and they have been made into quilts, and some are left on the island, and I wanted to make quilts too, but some people wanted to spin silk into cotton yarn, but found that the cotton seeds in it were difficult to remove, so they came to ask Zhen Lang if there was any good way?" ”
"Wait......!"
Zhen Qian's brain was a little bent, and when he spun cotton yarn, he found that the cotton seeds were difficult to remove, so how did he make the quilt before?
The removal of cottonseed has always been a big problem, until the emergence of the seeding machine to really solve the problem of slow efficiency of manual seeding, Zhen Qian is not unaware of the seeding machine, but has not had time to ask about this matter, and even in his own opinion, artificial seeding is also a kind of work, especially now there are many victims in the country, this is not a problem at all.
