There are many bamboo frames in the open space in the backyard of the Gewu Courtyard, on which are placed bamboo flats, and the washed wool is placed in the bamboo flats to dry.

The color of the wool that has not been bleached is still a little gray and yellow, but it is much better than the newly sheared wool, Wang Xiang grabbed a handful of wool and smelled it, the smell is really much lighter, and it can't be smelled at all if you don't smell it carefully, and it will be better after carbon roasting.

After a while, Li Chunfeng also heard the news and rushed over, and there was also a strong smell on his body, which caused Xiao Lori to frown.

Li Chunfeng laughed: "The last batch of wool will be washed soon, and there will be no such big smell in the future." ”

Wang Xiang felt a little ashamed, and said embarrassedly: "It's hard work for you." "This product does have reason to be ashamed, as the court of the Gewu Academy, it was sentenced to three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and all the big and small things of the Gewu Yuan were handed over to Li Chunfeng, and even a prince like Li Zhi was doing things like handling wool, but he shrank in the house every day to enjoy life.

Li Chunfeng smiled indifferently: "It is really admirable that the court judged that the adults can come up with the idea of weaving clothes with wool, if the clothes woven from wool are really as warm as the adults say, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be blessed, what are we doing." ”

Hearing Li Chunfeng say this, Wang Xiang thought shamelessly: That's what I said, the wise man is hardworking......

Looking at the bamboo frames on the open space, Wang Xiang muttered: "There will be more and more wool in the future, and the matter of dealing with wool cannot always be handled by the Gewu Academy, first, there is not enough place, and second, the smell is really bad." ”

Li Zhi interjected with an aggrieved face: "It's not, don't say that Sister Xiaowu dislikes it, the students of the Gewu Academy also secretly say that there is a bad smell in the backyard of the Gewu Academy." ”

Wang Xiang rubbed his head and said, "You are the King of Jin." Just let someone else do the hair washing. If you let Your Majesty and the Queen know that you are like this, you must not scold me to death. When you go back, let someone boil hot water and take a good bath. ”

There is a coal mine in Gewuyuan, and in the winter there is no need to prepare firewood, and the coal mine is more effective than firewood.

Seeing Li Zhi nodding, Wang Xiang continued: "Actually, those two are not the main reasons, Gewuyuan is not a factory, but a place to study and learn Gewuxue, and when this batch of wool is successfully processed, we will master the method of processing wool, so that the next thing can be done by someone." ”

Li Chunfeng asked curiously, "What do you mean?" ”

"Start a factory."

"Factory? What is a factory? ”

"To put it simply, we built a special place to process wool, and this place was the factory, and we gathered people to help us process the wool. We pay these people. ”

Li Chunfeng frowned and said: "I heard that the wool from the Western Regions will be transported to Chang'an in a steady stream, and there are a lot of them, and it is good to say in winter, most of the people have nothing to do and can come over to help us deal with the wool, but I am afraid that it will be ...... when the spring plowing and autumn harvest are made."

Wang Xiang smiled and said: "Didn't I say it, we will pay these people, even if they can plant a year's land, how much harvest they can get, but help us deal with wool, and the wages in January will buy more grain than they plant." ”

"It doesn't seem right, if everyone doesn't farm. Where does the food come from? ”

"Haha, Daochang Li is too worried. Not to mention running one factory, even if you run ten, you don't have to worry about hundred. Potatoes, corn, and the quyuan plough have all been popularized, and cultivation is much easier than before, and one person can cultivate the land that only a few people can cultivate, and the grain output is more than ten times that of before, and as long as the world is stable, the people will not be at risk of famine. ”

Wang Xiang continued: "However, as soon as there is more grain, the price of grain will fall, if the people are farming like before, it will be a waste, and if they grow the same size, the income may not be as high as before, and people can't live just to eat, what can they do if they hoard more grain at home, they have to let the people have money in their hands, so that they can do more things." ”

Li Chunfeng nodded thoughtfully.

Little Lori asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, what can people do when they have money?" ”

Li Zhi on the side also looked curious.

Wang Xiang smiled: "For example...... Study. ”

Li Zhi and Lori are both characters who can be emperors, and it is still very stressful to pretend to force Wang Xiang in front of the two of them, and he coughed dryly and said: "Okay, these are all things in the future, for now, let's make the woolen sweater as soon as possible so that you can have a warm winter." ”

Little Lori grinned: "I want two woolen sweaters!" ”

"Okay, a few will do." Wang Xiang laughed. The first batch of wool processed is not small, and it is no problem to make dozens of woolen sweaters.

Li Zhi looked at Wang Xiang hesitantly as if he wanted to say something, Wang Xiang asked curiously, "Child, do you have something to say?" ”

"Wang Jiancheng, the queen mother's health is not good, I want to make her a few woolen clothes."

It turned out to be this thing, no wonder he had to deal with the wool himself, Li Zhi, this little ghost, is indeed the most filial one among Li Er's many princes, as for Li Zhen and Li Shen, they don't know where to go as soon as the Gewu Academy is on holiday.

Wang Xiang said gently: "Of course you can make sweaters for the queen, not only the queen, but also the young slaves." ”

"What about Father?" Li Zhi looked up at Wang Xiang.

Li Er can not have it, and he has to pick his own skin, Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Your Majesty naturally has it." ”

"Uh-huh." Li Zhi nodded, stretched out his finger and calculated: "Brother Prince, his leg injury has not healed yet, and the cold weather is even more uncomfortable." ”

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has." One more piece doesn't matter.

"There are also starlings and ninth brothers, they said before the holiday that they also want a woolen sweater."

"There is ......"

"Well, there's also the little son, she's most afraid of the cold."

"There is ......"

……

After the time of half a pillar of incense, the little Lori glared at Li Zhi angrily with her cheeks, Li Zhi finally put down his hand and looked at Wang Xiang embarrassedly: "Wang Jiancheng, is it too much?" ”

Do you think it's too much time to recite half a pillar of incense......

"Not much......" Wang Xiang turned his head stiffly and looked at Li Chunfeng: "Daochang Li, tomorrow I will find someone to find a place to set up a factory, no, I will go immediately!" ”

When Li Zhi said this, Wang Xiang found that the current wool was not enough at all, and it was not enough to prepare it for the palace, but the people Li Zhi said really couldn't help but send it, which was really a headache.

Not only in the palace, but also in Lao Cheng's house, can't you send it? There are also eldest grandsons Wuji and Fang Xuanling, a few days ago, I discussed a few articles with them and took them to Linglong Bookstore to print, and it is impossible to make sweaters out and not give them them, right? There are also Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chi Jingde...... These bigwigs usually take care of themselves, so it's not good to give them to others if they don't give them away, right? Besides, they're going to come to the door and grab it......

Ning Xiang has to send at least a few pieces there, hey, this wool is far from enough now, the factory can do it, and the wool washing workers can be recruited, the problem is wool, I don't know if there is a caravan from the Western Regions on such a cold day.

Just when Wang Xiang was saddened, someone came in to report.

"Lord Yuanju, a merchant from the Western Regions named Kasan came outside, and he brought a lot of goods over to find your lord."

Wang Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and he was worried that Kasang came. (To be continued.) )
