Chapter 232: Can Wool Be the Same as Cotton?

Woman dressed as a man! This is something that only happens in the play, and the people who besieged the thin "dumb" were stunned at first, and then surrounded them.

Originally, there was a sudden commotion in the paddock, and the family and young people who were far away were about to step forward to maintain the suppression, but suddenly there was this turn, and they didn't suppress their curiosity, and rushed forward.

"Stop! With so many women in front, do you want to die? Zhu Da roared, his sudden attack made the family and the poor people react, stopped, and could still see Zhu Da's expression clearly by the light of the sky and the fire, and the old man Zhu, who had never been calm in his impression, was full of thunder at this time.

Although this is a trivial matter, Zhu Da is a little angry, although this meeting is similar to his previous prediction, the family is only a little better than the refugees, and there is no discipline and style, this little thing makes everyone have no rules at all.

Zhu Da took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and ordered in a muffled voice: "Don't look around there, find a mother-in-law to take to wash, change into old clothes and come back, we have something important here, hurry up!" ”

In the end, the voice was raised, and the families of the refugees did not dare to slack off, but there was no place for the refugees to change their clothes, and Chang Shen, who stayed here, arranged for a villager's mother-in-law to take someone there, and the villagers had already brought their own women to the side.

Everyone could see that Zhu Da was angry, and thought that there would be another attack next, and everyone would inevitably be whipped or something, but Zhu Da's next mood was stable, and he arranged for people to build three bonfires nearby to make this side as bright as possible, and then kept urging the Grange and the refugees to ask everyone who could spin and weave to bring over.

In the end, in fact, I was waiting for the little "dumb" woman dressed as a man and the woman who took her to change her clothes, and everyone on the field whispered and exchanged glances with each other, and their attitudes were quite ambiguous, but everyone understood very well, and said that if I met a little mute dressed as a man, I was also curious to see what it looked like.

Under such conditions as the Grange, there was no way to take a hot bath in a hurry, it was nothing more than a simple scrub and a change into clean old clothes, and the woman of the village walked in front, followed by the thin mute, no, girl.

Even with the height and volume of women in this era, this girl dressed as a man is relatively thin, but looking at her facial features, everyone can judge that this girl is not a minor, and her appearance is not beautiful, it is slightly above average, and it is not enough to meet the standard of "small jasper", plus these days of hard work, she looks quite haggard, if there is anything different, that is, it is not easy to see the heroic spirit on women's faces in this era, and this temperament makes this woman have a little neutral beauty.

Thinking that this person who can escape the bloodbath of the Tartars and cavalry, and can pretend to be a refugee to defect to this grange, and even choose the right time to reveal his true identity, such a character decision is not something that those who only know about husbands and children in the snail family can do, heroic, with a bit of neutral beauty, but also the embodiment of the inside.

"Master, she said her name is Liu Yue." The woman spoke a lot.

Zhu Da didn't waste too much energy on this episode, what he cared about was that all the people who could spin and weave came to the scene, and there could be no one missing.

The family members were frightened enough by Zhu Da's attack, but the poor people were relatively relaxed, whispering in the distance, and everyone knew what Zhu Da was going to do.

"Master Zhu, is this going to let them spin and weave? What kind of money can you make with this? ”

"We don't have much cotton in Datong, but there is a little bit in the southwest of the mountain, but what's the use, I heard people say that there is weaving in the south of the Yangtze River to make a lot of money, does Master Zhu want to do it on our side?"

"This is a blind toss with too much money, you said that Qin Juren is also spent by this young master, what if the money is spent?"

"What they have is silver, and when they enclose half of the land in the county, this bit of silver is a lot, and when the time comes, let the girls of the county spin and weave cloth for him, who dares not to listen."

"How many are this, tsk......"

The more he talked, the more he didn't like it, Chang Shen frowned and coughed, and everyone stopped laughing dryly, they didn't realize one thing, no one took Chang Kai's foolish brother seriously before, and everyone dealt with it casually after Chang Kai became the deputy team leader, but in the past two days, everyone unconsciously began to have more awe and obedience.

Zhu Da was still standing on the table, looking around, the women looked at him directly, the girls bowed their heads shyly, and that Liu Yue also looked at Zhu Da, I have to say that after a woman dressed as a man and pretended to be a little mute, it was difficult not to pay attention.

"Give you cotton, can you all spin and weave?" Juda asked aloud.

It was common for the women in the village to show their faces, but they were not at a loss in front of Zhu Da, and this question was quickly answered: "If you bring cotton, you have to roll out the cotton seeds, and you have to make the thread before you can weave the cloth, give us cotton, and then make a spindle and a loom for us, and you can make it." ”

Zhu Da coughed dryly, he just roughly knew the process of spinning and weaving, and the details such as rolling out the cotton seeds were a black eye, although the people below did not laugh shamefully, but now Zhu Da is a little embarrassed, and it is inevitable to be embarrassed in the field he is not good at.

"I'll show you something, come closer!" Judah calmed down quickly and beckoned everyone forward.

He squatted on the table, with a lump of cotton-like things in front of him, and some people deliberately held torches and lanterns to light in front of him, and when everyone gathered around, the first thing they looked at was not the mass on the table, but at Zhu Da, the women were curious, and the girls' eyes were a little hot.

"This young man is really handsome...... "So young, the family business is not small, I don't know if there is a shortage of maids around me......." There are a lot of chatters, and he didn't even shy away from it, which made Zhu Da a little uncomfortable, and his discomfort and embarrassment were seen by these women, and his words became even bolder.

Even counting the experience of more than 20 years, Zhu Da has nothing to do with the woman, the only thing he can do is cough a few times, pointing to the mass in front of him and raising his voice: "You take a closer look, this can make you live a good life, not to mention anything else, eat fine grains at meals, have meat at meals, and have hundreds of acres of land at home, you may have them!" ”

As soon as Zhu Da said this, the scene became noisy after a little quiet, and the women didn't care about looking at the little master, but watched the things on the table, and suddenly there was food and meat, hundreds of acres of land, this is a good day that can only be dreamed of, and many people will realize that it is impossible in their dreams.

The things on the table are not natural treasures, and Zhu Da did not stop others from touching them, and soon someone recognized what it was.

"Is this wool?" "That's right, it's wool, and it smells when you get closer." Your words and my words are soon to come to the result, Datong here to raise sheep is a common thing, and who does not recognize wool, Datong here is used to using sheepskin to make sheepskin jackets or sheepskin mattresses, there are also learning to use wool to make felt on the grassland, and the flexible brain quickly came up with several uses.

The wool on the table was together, everyone confirmed what it was, but quieted down, everyone couldn't think of a way for this wool to make everyone live a good life, and finally their eyes were focused on Zhu Da again, at this time the crows were silent, compared with the days when they could live well fed and clothed and have their own fields, the others were not worth mentioning, not to mention the women who knew how to spin and weave, and even their family members and refugee men stared at Zhu Da nervously and excitedly, hoping that they could help something.

"You see that this mass of wool is not like cotton, cotton can be spun and weave, wool can be spun and woven into cloth, if you can spin wool and weave cloth like cotton, whoever makes it will give him two hundred taels of silver and two hundred acres of land." Zhu Da said in a sullen voice, he knew the raw materials and products, but he didn't know the process in between.

If you want to come up with this process, you can only rely on the collective wisdom of everyone, three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, whether this proverb makes sense or not is one thing, and now Zhu Da can only rely on this truth, and can only believe in the "wisdom of the masses", that more than 20 years Zhu Da has been very skeptical of this statement, but there is no choice at the moment.

"How can wool be the same as cotton?" Someone blurted out a rhetorical question, thinking that he could get rich from the sky, but he didn't expect it to be such an impossible whimsy, and in his astonishment and disappointment, he even ignored his fear of Zhu Da.

Of course, wool and cotton are different, they are completely different things, but after someone asked back, some people couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Maybe you can really try it, but I've never tried it, how can you know if you don't try." ”

This statement quieted the scene, and the families of the refugees and the villagers quickly reacted, usually everyone never thought that wool could be like cotton, but it is always possible to try, and it would be better if it became after trying. If you don't try, there seems to be no loss, but there is hope for trying, no matter how you calculate, you won't lose, the onlookers are easy to calculate the gains and losses, and everyone's eyes are gradually eager.

"Whoever wants to try it can raise his hand, wool, spindles and looms." Zhu Da said loudly, and everyone was not as unfamiliar with "raising hands" as they were just now, and immediately raised their arms like a forest.

A smile appeared on Zhu Da's face, and he shouted and made a wish: "Anyone who is willing to try, two full meals a day, and an extra bowl of hot soup will only be thicker than today." ”

There was an exclamation below, two full meals and soup like today, usually living at home, that is, before and after the autumn harvest and the New Year, you can eat two full meals, plus a bowl of such a real soup, which is equivalent to one more meal, which can be eaten by your own family, women are happy, and men only regret how they don't spin and weave.

The crowd was passionate, Zhu Da's face was full of smiles, but he was not so optimistic in his heart, even if he gave the direction, with the following rabble, could he make what he wanted?
