Chapter 635: Great Strides (2)

Zheng San thought for a while and said: "The upper reaches of the Broken Leaf River of the Broken Leaf River are narrow for a period of time, and the water flow is very fast, and the drop is also large, now is the dry season, we can mobilize the people to build a dam at the entrance of the Atami into the Broken Leaf Water to stop the water, and then choose a location to build a dam at the river near the Broken Leaf River, according to the previous law, the Tianshan Glacier will not begin to melt until at least June next year, so we still have more than five months, as long as there are enough people during this time, the dam will definitely be built!" ”

Zhao Ziliang made a decision on the spot: "Okay, you can arrange for people to implement this matter as soon as possible!" I also know that you have a lot of things, you have to take care of this and that, and you arrange a reliable person to do it! Remember, this stamping technology is used to cast plate armor, think about it, as soon as the hammer is put up, a steel plate will be stamped, how easy it will be to make a set of plate armor in the future? Not only can the generals and colonels be equipped, but ordinary soldiers can be equipped, and its defensive ability can be much stronger than the previous armor, how important is this technology? Therefore, this matter must not go wrong, let alone leak secrets, once it is learned by the enemy country or hostile forces, and the enemy uses it to make plate armor to equip their army against us, then will we not hit ourselves in the foot? ”

Hearing Zhao Ziliang say this, Zheng San also realized how important the confidentiality of this technology was, and this matter must not be a problem, he said solemnly: "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will keep an eye on this matter!" The dam must be built before the end of the dry season, the secret deployment must be made, and the plate armor must be built as soon as possible! ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!"

After sending Zheng San away, Zhao Ziliang returned to the backyard and saw Chen Qingying making clothes, a jacket, he was very puzzled, and asked: "It's all over the New Year, it's about to be spring, the weather is getting warmer, what clothes are you doing now?" ”

Chen Qingying said with a smile: "Do more, this winter, the children can change and wear, you see this jacket, the fabric sandwich is padded with some wool, and then sewn well, thick, and it is very warm to wear on the body!" It's warmer than wearing a sheepskin jacket! ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Qingying spreading some white and clean wool evenly in the interlayer of the fabric, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of spreading the wool in the interlayer of the fabric?" ”

Chen Qingying kept in her hands, and said with a smile: "The first few **** went to the ranch to see how some of the little lambs born last winter grew, and saw a lot of wool piled up in the warehouse of the ranch, and the grazing people said that these wools were sheared from the sheep, and the weather began to warm up after the New Year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I asked them what to do with these wool, they said that most of them are burned or thrown away, I think it would be a pity to burn or throw away such a good wool, so I took some back to prepare two clothes, to see if it was warm, I didn't expect to wear it for Lei'er and Ting'er after it was made, they all said it was very warm, warmer than wearing sheepskin jackets! So I'm going to make a few more."

Zhao Ziliang remembered that his two sons had been dressed bulgingly in the past few days, and now when he heard Chen Qingying say this, he suddenly realized on the spot, dare to love that there is wool stuffed in his clothes?

Wool? Wool? Zhao Ziliang remembered the woolen sweaters and woolen coats of later generations, if the wool can be spun into yarn, wouldn't it be possible to make woolen sweaters, if it can be further woven into woolen fabrics, it can be made into woolen coats or woolen blankets, wool products and clothing are good products for wintering and keeping out the cold, but I don't know if today's textile level can make use of wool?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Madam, this wool looks quite warm, but I don't know if I can spin the wool into yarn and then into cloth?" ”

"Spun wool into yarn and then into cloth?" Chen Qingying frowned, she is proficient in female red, she often spins and weaves when she is a girl, she thinks about it and shakes her head and says: "I'm afraid that it won't work, it will definitely not work with all wool, wool is short, although it is soft, but it is one by one, and the fabric must be very rough, and there is a sense of acupuncture when worn on the body, but if it is mixed with yarn, it should be able to overcome this situation appropriately!" It's just that no one has ever thought of spinning wool into cloth before, and they haven't done it, and they don't know if it's going to work! ”

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "It's okay only if you try to know, the people who raise this kind of sheep are barbarians in the north, no one used this wool to spin and weave cloth before, because they don't know how to weave, when it comes to spinning and weaving, only we Han people are experts, if we can spin this wool into cloth, the clothes made of this fabric must be very warm, and the soldiers will not be so cold in the winter, and you see that we have to solve the problem of the soldiers in winter every year, You have to slaughter tens of thousands of sheep to get enough sheepskin to make sheepskin jackets! Besides, to solve the problem of the army to survive the winter and keep out the cold, we can also use wool woven fabrics to make clothes and sell them to ordinary people, which is also good for the people to keep out the cold, and we can also make money to support our families, how good? Trouble Madame find a few handmaids to try, do you think it's okay? ”

Chen Qingying is a woman who understands righteousness, she heard her husband say that if she can spin wool into yarn and cloth, she will contribute so much to the army and the people, and immediately agreed: "Okay, there are two spinning machines and two looms at home, and the concubine will immediately call someone to try it!" ”

Chen Qingying quickly called a few maidservants to carry the spinning machine and loom to the yard, and sent someone to the ranch to bring some wool, the weather is very good today, the sun is out, it is just right to work in the yard, after everything is ready, start to spin with wool.

The yarn spun with wool is really rough, and there is a prickly feeling next to the skin, it is not possible to spin a bunch of wool into cloth for a while, and Zhao Ziliang has no time to spend here, he will be busy with official business after watching it for a while.

After more than ten days, as soon as Zhao Ziliang returned home in the evening, Chen Qingying called him to the room and took out a few clothes to show Zhao Ziliang・・・・・・・.

Chen Qingying smiled: "That's right, they are all clothes made of wool spun into fabric and then cut and sewn!" You see, this material is spun from pure wool, and the cloth spun with pure wool was very rough at first, and after we improved the spinning method, we overcame this situation, it is not only soft and smooth, but also not so prickly! ”

Zhao Ziliang touched the material and shouted in his heart, Nima, isn't this a woolen sweater? This material is soft and smooth and elastic, but there is a disadvantage, it has a slight hair loss, but this is not a problem, even the woolen sweaters of later generations are also hair loss!

Zhao Ziliang laughed and said: "Okay, okay, this kind of clothing can be worn in autumn or winter, it must be very warm!" ”

Chen Qingying pointed to the other two clothes and said: "The style of this dress is the same, but their fabrics are different, this fabric is made of wool spun, it is another textile method, so it is a little rough, but this fabric is very thick, and the hardness is harder than the one just now, it can be worn outside, and the fabric of this one is made of wool and twine, which is made of wool and twine, which is harder, and the clothes sewn with it can also be worn outside for the winter. The last one is a mixture of wool and a kind of fluff from the sheep! ”

These three are all coat styles, regardless of style, they are the woolen coats and cashmere coats of later generations, but it may be that Chen Qingying and others have limited knowledge and thinking, and the clothes sewn with these wool and cashmere fabrics are all styles of Tang and Hanfu, not the woolen coats and cashmere coats of later European and American styles, but what does it matter? The style is not important at all, the important thing is that Chen Qingying and others not only spun the wool into fabric, but also used the cashmere, you must know that cashmere can have the reputation of soft gold in later generations, the cashmere coat with cashmere is not only warmer than the pure wool coat, but also very smooth, and the feel is also very good. It is a double fabric, made of a mixture of wool and cashmere, the cashmere content generally does not exceed 30%, because it is too rare, the price is much higher than wool, no textile company is willing to add too much cashmere, the cashmere content of the general cashmere coat is less than 10%, even so, the price is more than 1,500 oceans, less than a thousand oceans of cashmere coats, fake! The higher the cashmere content, the more expensive the coat, and the higher the price of the brand, the cashmere coat can be worn directly without the slightest discomfort.

Zhao Ziliang was excited, and while touching these clothes, he said again and again: "Okay, good, it's really good!" Madame, you have done a great deed! ”

Chen Qingying took a very rough and thick fabric from the table next to her and said: "Look at this again, this is made of ordinary wool, although it is rough, but it is thick and warm, if you cut out a large piece, and then sew it into a quilt cover with silk to cover it, it will definitely be very warm!" ”

Zhao Ziliang picked it up and looked at it, grass, isn't this a wool blanket? This kind of thing is the best choice for the individual quilts of the soldiers!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang said to Chen Qingying: "Madam, you said that if each soldier is given a blanket made of this fabric, wouldn't it be very warm for the soldiers to march and camp when the weather is cold?" In the past, the soldiers camped in the wilderness and slept on the ground in tents, and the ground was cold and cold, which was not pleasant, but if you have this kind of blanket, you can sleep with a blanket, and there will be no more cold and bitter guilt! ”

Chen Qingying nodded and said, "The husband is really thoughtful, but is this kind of blanket too rough, will the soldiers get used to it?" ”

Zhao Ziliang slapped his thigh: "Hey, the brothers are all rough people, how can they be so exquisite, as long as they can keep warm and keep out the cold!" (To be continued.) )
