Taishou House.

More than a dozen patriarchs and heads of families in Hanyang County were waiting bitterly, looking at each other with vigilance and vigilance in their eyes.

He only talked to his loved ones who came with him, and whispers kept ringing out from the corners.

“…… Uncle, I really can't believe it! Before the Chang family girl, I divided the flowers one by one of us, and you go back and let me find a trustworthy tenant mother-in-law, take it, and it can really be twisted into a thread! ”

"The maidservant said, it's too little, otherwise you can really spin cloth! And it's much better than linen, lightweight, warm, and the key is soft! ”

"Third brother, you and I are eating Wushisan, and now our bodies are delicate and our skin is sensitive. I can't wear new clothes, because I can't stand the new clothes being too hard. Then the clouds spun out the cloth is not just right! Soft and lightweight, just right for us! ”

"Son, this is a great opportunity! According to what the Chang family girl said, the yield of this thing is extremely high, and we let the people below collect the fine twisted yarn and spin the cloth and sell it at a high price! ”

"I was thinking, it doesn't just twist and spin fabrics, right? If you put it in the futon, wouldn't it be much warmer than those catkins, reeds, straw and the like? ”

That's exactly what you're talking about! Although the rich family can afford to cover mink fur or duck down and cashmere, it is a minority after all. If you replace it with clouds that can grow in this field......"

"Be sure to buy the seeds this time! No matter what the price is, you must get the Chang girl to agree to give us the seeds! ”

There was a lot of discussion in the room, and outside the house, Adam pulled Shang Qing's arm and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Good things, everyone still wants them, you see, don't I have a bargaining chip?"

Shang Qing raised his eyebrows and twisted a small white velvet ball: "This thing, is it something you bought in the capital?" ”

"yes."

Holding a small bag of black seeds and another bag full of white cotton balls, Adam shook her head and sighed.

"I really can't understand that those wealthy families in the capital - this kind of good treasure is just used as an ornamental flower!"

This kind of cloud is being stared at by the eyes of the wealthy.

Actually, it's cotton.

At this time, it was also called Bai Diezi, which came from the Western Regions, and was widely cultivated in Gaochang and other places in the Western Regions, and people spun it into cloth and used it for trading.

But in the Southern Jin Dynasty, it was sent into the backyard of the family as an ornamental flower, and no one thought of sending them to the folk and letting people spin cloth.

So back to the "clean talk" of the upper-class celebrities, they regard pragmatism as vulgar.

The nobles who can come into contact with the white stacks have no contact with textiles in their lives, and the quilts covered are duck down, goose down and mink, and all they see in their clothes are silk.

It is not easy to know that linen silk comes from silkworm raising, and the descendants wear linen, where would you think that this kind of ornamental flower that can grow in the land can also be used for spinning?

And the people of the people can quickly discover the value of this thing, but the environment in which they live cannot come across the white stacks planted in the backyard of the family for ornamentation.

According to the development of history, this kind of cold-tolerant and high-yield white stack will probably take thousands of years before it can be widely cultivated by the people.

The spun cotton cloth will gradually replace linen cloth and become the most common cloth among the people, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to poor people, no one will wear it.

However, there are actually two important reasons why Adam is eyeing it:

Cotton is cold-resistant and easy to grow, suitable for the weather of drought in recent years; And the leaves it grows, the locusts do not eat!
