Yang Yi plans to take Qingniang to swim for half a month, the wish of the idea is beautiful, but the sky is not beautiful, on the second night, Yang Yi hugged Qingniang and slept soundly, but a strong wind suddenly blew outside the car, and the temperature also plummeted, so cold that the two of them took all the clothes to cover, and still felt that the cold was through.

God, isn't this a mandarin duck!

"Ahh Ahh Ahh ”

Yang Yi was wrapped in a thick mink coat and sneezed several times in a row.

Han Bi'er was heartbroken and funny to watch. Yang Yi took Qing Niang on a trip, but the weather suddenly turned cold, and it snowed, the two of them now returned to the grange outside the city, Qing Niang is fine, but Yang Yi, who has always been as strong as an ox, was infected with the wind cold, Han Bier doesn't have to think about it, and he knows that this master is afraid that he stripped himself naked last night and wrapped Qing Niang with all his clothes.

"Master, are you alright?" Han Bi'er asked softly with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay, a little wind and cold, just drink some medicine, there's nothing wrong with Jingzhong, right?"

"It's nothing, if there is something, the slave will already let the master know."

Yang Yi took out a mulberry leaf picker and handed it to Han Bi'er, saying, "This is for picking mulberry leaves, and using this is several times faster than picking by hand." ”

Han Bi'er took it, looked at the picker in her hand curiously, and after listening to Yang Yi's explanation, she immediately understood that the meaning of this object was extraordinary, so she said, "Great, where did you get this thing?" ”

Yang Yi said with a smile: "This is the invention of the national father, the national prince is traveling here, and he just happened to meet Luo Fu and see such a beautiful woman." Picking mulberry leaves is so hard that I can't bear it. So he made a mulberry leaf picker and gave it to her. ”

Han Bi'er glanced at him and said, "The slave doesn't care who the master gave it to, since it was just made by the master." That is, it did not spread, and the slaves let people set up workshops in the capital and Hangzhou to produce in large quantities. ”

"Well, this mulberry leaf picker silkworm farmers must be extremely favored, but this thing has a simple structure and is easy to imitate, just a one-time business, you have to grasp a degree."

Han Bi'er smiled and said, "What you said is wrong. If this mulberry leaf picker is really as easy to use as the master said, it must be in short supply, every household in the south of the Yangtze River raises silkworms, as long as we grab two percent of the market, slaves are estimated to have at least tens of thousands of income. ”

Yang Yi said indifferently: "It's up to you, I came to you today, not mainly to say this." ”

Yang Yi said this, and Qing Niang walked in with a bowl of steaming medicine, and she was wearing a white fox jacket. Xiaoman's waist tightened, looking as slender as the moon, and she was a little embarrassed to see Han Bi'er present. It seems that she caused Yang Yi to catch a cold.

"Brother Yang, drink the medicine first."

Han Bi'er covered her mouth and snickered on the side, as charming as a vixen. made Qing Niang even more embarrassed.

Yang Yi glared at Han Bi'er before taking the medicine bowl. After taking a big gulp of the medicine, Xiao Ai, who was following Qing Niang, immediately handed over warm water. After rinsing his mouth, Yang Yi comforted: "Qing Niang, don't worry, Brother Yang is in good health, this bit of wind and cold is nothing, and it will be fine at night." ”

"Brother Yang, it's all my fault." Qing Niang looked a little remorseful and looked at him with a sad look.

"Accident, this time it's just an accident, it's Brother Yang who didn't take the test thoroughly, I don't blame you." Yang Yi saw that there were snow flakes on her shoulders, so he motioned for her to stand over, and reached out to gently brush off the snow flakes on her shoulders, "Qing Niang, you are weak, this recipe prescribed by the eldest brother is not only used for treatment, but also useful for preparing for the wind cold, Qing Niang remembers to drink some of it herself, and Bi'er, you come in the wind, go in the snow, also drink a little, don't get caught in the wind cold." ”

Han Bi'er didn't expect him to say this, her heart was warm, she felt that the wind and snow outside seemed to be warm, and her eyes were watery when she looked at him, like rippling autumn waves.

Yang Yi asked Xiao Ai, "Is there any medicine?" ”

"Returning to China, there is one more point, which is only enough for one person to drink." Xiao Ai's gaze slipped over Qing Niang and Han Bi'er respectively, as if she was guessing who Yang Yi was going to give the rest of the medicine to.

Yang Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Ai, what the hell are you doing?" Why don't you go get the medicine yet. ”

"Yes, the maid will go." Xiao Ai spit out her little tongue and ran away, she followed and served Qing Niang from Huanzhou, Yang Yi was easy-going with her family, never scolded, and loved Qing Niang the most, as Qing Niang's personal maid, she was not afraid of Yang Yi.

Waiting for Xiao Ai to bring the remaining half bowl of medicine, Yang Yi took it, and the three eyes suddenly fell on him, Yang Yi was a little funny, Qing Niang preemptively said: "Sister Bi'er works hard every day, it's very hard, you drink this medicine first, I'll let people boil some later." ”

Seeing that Qing Niang was virtuous and reasonable, Yang Yi reached out and hugged her into his arms, and said to Han Bi'er: "Qing Niang is right, Bi'er will drink first, and when you return to the city, you will bring some and boil some for the family to drink." ”

"The slave knows." Han Bi'er took the medicine bowl, glanced at Qing Niang, drank the medicine, and felt that the medicine was not bitter, it was very sweet, very sweet.

Xiao Ai quietly made an oil bottle mouth, which was seen by Yang Yi, and immediately looked at her and said, "You girl, what are you doing here, go and boil some more for Qing Niang to drink." ”

"Hee-hee,, let's go."

Waiting for Xiao Ai to go out, Yang Yi patted Qing Niang's fragrant shoulder and said, "Qing Niang, you sit on the side first, I still have something to say with your sister Bi'er." ”

"Oh." Qing Niang responded obediently, squatted at his feet, and picked up the charcoal fire, and there was still snow outside the door, which was blowing one after another, but he couldn't let him suffer from the cold anymore.

Yang Yi then said to Han Bi'er: "I came to you this time, mainly for one thing, when I led the army to the south to Jiaozhi, by chance, I heard someone mention one thing. ”

"Master, what's the matter?"

"The Li women of Qiongzhou Island are ingenious, they have extremely advanced cotton-making utensils, and superb textile skills, you immediately send people to the island, no matter how much it costs, you must also be busy learning their cotton-making utensils and textile skills."

Although these words came from Yang Yi's mouth, Han Bier still couldn't believe it, in this world, when it comes to textile skills, who else can compare to the people in Suzhou and Hangzhou?

For a long time, Qiongzhou has been a wild island used by the imperial court to exile convicts, saying that the textile skills of the people there are more advanced than those in Jiangnan, not only Han Bier does not believe it, but I am afraid that no one in the world will believe it.

She couldn't help but ask, "Master, where did you hear this news?" Is it reliable? ”

Yang Yi couldn't say that Huang Daopo learned the textile skills from the women of the Li nationality, which made Songjiang cloth "clothed all over the world", so he had to put on a shelf and said: "You don't care who I listen to, if it's unreliable, why do I let you send someone?" Just do what I say. ”

"Yes." Han Bi'er shrunk her neck, as if she was afraid of him.

Yang Yi stretched out his hand and gave her a brain adze and said: "Don't believe it, you must also know that the price is not more expensive than silk, the reason why this is the case is not that the material is scarce, in fact, cotton is very productive, and now there are many people planting cotton in Fujian and Guangzhou, and his price is expensive, because everyone has not mastered the method of processing cotton, which makes the cotton processing cost very high:

I heard that the Li people make churning wheels, cotton bows, spinning wheels, looms, churning trucks can easily remove cotton boys, and cotton bows can make cotton extremely fluffy and soft;

Their looms can be staggered with colors, heald threads, weaving skills are extremely exquisite, the woven cotton cloth is solid and warm, and if the elastic cotton is made into a quilt, it is soft and comfortable, making people feel like they are lying on the white;

The Western Regions are rich in cotton, and now that the Western Regions have been recovered, if we can learn advanced cotton spinning skills from the people of the Li nationality, and then further promote cotton planting, I am sure that cotton cloth will be popular in the future. ”

Yang Yi's words made Han Bi'er very surprised, but Yang Yi's words were conclusive, and even the names of the churning car and the cotton bow were clearly said, which made her have to believe it.

She has always admired Yang Yi's foresight, Yang Yi said that cotton cloth can be popular all over the world, and it doesn't sound like a mouthful, Han Bier thought of the infinite business opportunities, and quickly calculated in her heart.

White fabrics are now extremely scarce and expensive on the market, even exceeding the price of silk. If it can really be produced in large quantities, it must be a lot of money.

Han Bier even thought of sending people to Minguang and Gaochang to buy cotton in advance, and when she learned cotton spinning technology from the Li people, she would produce it in large quantities and make a lot of money.

Yang Yi didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't mean to stop her, to promote the value of cotton, it is not enough to rely on the imperial court's repeated orders, you must first let the people see the use and value of cotton, and even if the imperial court does not promote it, the people will definitely compete for planting.

Han Bi'er couldn't sit still, and immediately said: "Master, you will take care of it, and the slave will send someone to Qiongzhou to learn cotton spinning skills as soon as possible." ”

"Well, go ahead."

Han Bi'er couldn't sit still any longer, and left in the snow after giving a salute.

Yang Yi is also looking forward to it, hoping to have a quilt cover as soon as possible, now the rich and noble people are fine, there are good silk, mink fur, fur to make bedding, ordinary people's quilts are pitiful, many people still stuff hay, reeds and other things into the quilt to keep warm, winter is hard!

If you make a comfortable quilt, Han Bier is only afraid of selling a thousand yuan a bed in the capital, and those rich and noble families are also rushing to ask for it.

Yang Yi remembered watching a movie before, called "Kapok Robe", the robe in the movie is extremely precious, in fact, Kapok is another name for cotton, and India is also one of the cotton producing areas, cotton spread from India to the south, and the people in the south called it Kapok.

However, due to the difficulty of cotton processing and its rarity in the Central Plains, its price is indeed very expensive.

Well, let it be a little more expensive, a little more expensive, first fry the price of cotton to a sky-high price, fry it to a sky-high price like gold, and let the people compete to grow gold, which is undoubtedly a good way to promote cotton planting.

Let's let Han Bier make a lot of money first!
