Chapter 725 - Warm Clothing

The IQ of the courtiers is not necessarily higher than that of Fan Jingjing, but without the pressure of the imperial examination, how much ability people have is actually hidden, and using ability to represent IQ is actually really inappropriate sometimes, because people with IQ are not necessarily capable.

When the pair of people and horses in the Fan family manor rushed to the west, Niu Shijin also got the news that he was not monitoring the Fan family manor, but that the affairs of the Fan family manor would more or less reach his ears.

After all, some people know the relationship between Fan Jingjing and Niu Shijin, and if the news reaches Niu Shijin's ears, they can more or less get some favors or rewards.

Who doesn't love a reward?

Niu Shijin doesn't need to send someone to supervise at all, as long as there are a lot of strange things in the Fan family manor, someone will tell the people of the Fan family manor, in fact, it is not necessarily Fan Jingjing's news, but more of the new technology developed by the Fan family manor.

The Niu family has long asked to tell him all the technology and products, the Niu family is the first to be imitated by everyone, and the Niu family is very smart, the Niu family can immediately see that some of the technology of the Niu family manor cannot be imitated, which ones are imitated, the Niu family will directly give up imitation, and the imitation will step up production.

In fact, these tools are mainly agricultural tools, but even if the agricultural tools are renewed, they are also needed for the peasants and people of the entire Chang'an, and Chang'an is not only for people in the city, but also for countless manors outside the city.

You must know that these tools are not for the peasants, but for the stewards of the estates.

With the power of the Niu family's manor, it is very simple to sell their tools to various manors, at least Jiang Blacksmith will not settle accounts with Niu Shijin or Niu Feiling, after all, he was born in the Niu family, and there is a relationship between him and the Niu family.

Even knowing that when the Niu family is developing, they will take the initiative to tell the Niu family the formula of some materials.

Therefore, in the entire Chang'an Fan Family Manor, go first, Niu Shijin's Niu Family Manor go second.

Fan Jingjing can also be regarded as taking special care of the Niu family manor in this way, so in the case of the general lack of food in the manor in Chang'an, although the people of the Niu family manor have no way to eat and drink spicy food like the Fan family manor, live well, and wear bright clothes, they are already good compared to others.

In fact, for these places that are mainly farming, there will never be a shortage of food and clothing, and the real lack of food and clothing is those who do not have food reserves, after all, those who really receive the salary of the imperial court or work in various workshops in Chang'an do not have extra money to buy enough food to reserve, and can only buy as much food as they can eat.

However, the price of grain is not fixed, and it is often very high during famines, and relatively low at harvest times.

Also, at harvest time, most of the rich people will open the barn to sell, because if they don't sell it, they will throw them away directly, or use them as feed, which will be relatively wasteful.

Generally speaking, if they can sell it, they will sell it, so that it does not constitute waste.

"The Fan family manor has developed to the Western Regions, do you see any business opportunities?

What else can the Western Regions get besides the battlefield?

At most, there are cowhides and the like, but it takes a handicraft to turn the cowhide into a leather product that will not rot.

If you wear it like the Turks, the nobles of Chang'an City will not accept it.

However, these people will not convey the various leather-making processes, because the higher the technology, the higher the price. ”

Things are very clear, if you have a skill in Datang, it will take several lifetimes, so it will not be passed on.

If you spread it, then your business will naturally deteriorate, and then it will become the skill of the entire Datang or the entire human race, so it will have no value.

However, leather is not a daily necessities, so not everyone learns it, but as long as there is a delicate skill, the price of leather can increase many times.

Fan Jingjing's real idea is not these high-priced goods, but the necessities of people's livelihood, that is, the extension of the canning factory and the introduction of various livestock powers.

But even if they were defeated, the Turks would not casually sell their horses and cattle, because it seemed to them that if horses and cattle could not survive in the steppe, they would begin to weaken when they entered the pass, and even later they would no longer have the original strong genes.

Therefore, the strongest horses must stay on the grassland, and the sweaty BMW is even more so, and the sweaty BMW that has it on the grassland is running as if it is flying, and it will shed red sweat.

However, what Fan Jingjing is interested in is indeed these things that can run, and these things that can run are not economical for them to be tied up in a carriage, so the things that can run, if they can be transported by the way, the cost of transportation can be reduced, but what goods do they want to transport?

In fact, there are a lot of pastures that can be transported in the grassland, but it is very uneconomical to transport the grass in, if a lot of gems are transported, in fact, it is very, not only because the gems come in more, the price will fall and it will no longer be an important item, but Fan Jingjing knows that it is very heavy in the desert and suitable for planting cotton, and in the desert not everyone is a nomad, there are still some people in the entire oasis area who will start to farm in the oasis.

If people in these places can start planting cotton and send it to Chang'an in large quantities, the problem of keeping warm can be solved in large quantities.

To keep warm, you can basically use sweaters and cotton clothes, but cotton and wool are basically different in nature, cotton clothes can be closer to the body, and sweaters are used to isolate outside, and if the sweater is to be made into weaving, in fact, as long as it is made into a thread, others can continue to have the opportunity to work, and now Fan Jingjing has grabbed the job opportunity in the textile industry.

Clothes made of silk are really unaffordable for ordinary people, and summer cloths made of hemp are relatively coarse.

Rural women must be left a way out, in fact, wool spinning can also be woven with a little adjustment of the machine, and even become more beautiful, but if you want to turn wool textile into a variety of patterns, you must rely on various machines, at this time Fan Jingjing also wants to affect the changes of these machines, because now there is a shortage of manpower, and the production of machines is not so fast.

If you want to change a lot of patterns, it is better to let people change the patterns by hand, the patterns changed by hand are much more flexible than the machine, and you can make a lot of beautiful woolen sweaters, but what will the Datang woolen sweater look like is very suspicious of Fan Jingjing.

After all, Datang woolen sweater is very different from ordinary clothes, because it can adapt to your figure and use the least amount of fabric to complete your woolen sweater.
