Chapter 523: The Zhong Family Visits

Looking at the back of Steward Zhou leaving, Yan Liqiang sat on a chair in the flower hall, quietly thinking about what to do next-some things, once they started, they could never stop.

Yan Liqiang asked people to collect wool, and when the wool was collected, it was naturally not to be seen, but to be used.

It is also a very strange thing to say, because Yan Liqiang has found a phenomenon since he came to this world, that is, in this world, there seems to be no wool textile technology at all, and there are almost no wool textiles in the entire Han Empire, and the raw materials of the clothes that people wear on their bodies are coarse cloth, linen, satin, silk, all kinds of yarn, and all kinds of brocade, and even animal skins, all kinds of cotton, all kinds of linen, and all kinds of silk fabrics, all kinds of things, to meet the needs of different classes of people, but only wool textiles, and even the most common wool textiles, have not appeared。

Yan Liqiang has seen a lot of people wearing sheepskins, but Yan Liqiang has almost never seen people wearing wool textiles.

At the beginning, Yan Liqiang thought that only the Han Empire was like this, but later he found out that it was not only the Han Empire that was like this, but the people of this world, at least so far, did not master the simple and effective wool processing technology, wool wants to become textiles, the first process to go through, and the most technical content of the first pass, is the degreasing of wool, and the situation has become an insurmountable mountain, blocking wool from the door of textile raw materials.

Yan Liqiang also heard that some nomadic tribes have wool textiles, but this kind of nomadic wool textiles are very few, few people wear them, there is no popularization and promotion at all, Yan Liqiang has seen that kind of wool textiles once, not to mention anything else, that kind of textiles, into a horse coat and shoulders and the like to wear on the body, a few meters away, you can smell the fishy smell above, can smoke people over, this is what the wool is forced out when it is not completely degreased, and that kind of clothes are very unsightly, the processing process should be very rough, it looks dirty and gray, and the wool on it is all condensed into a clump, which is not as good as the lowest coarse cloth, or even wearing sheepskin straight is better than that.

The degreasing of wool is an impossible task for others, but for Yan Liqiang, thanks to the knowledge reserve of past lives in his brain, the degreasing of wool is an extremely simple matter for him.

There is no degreased wool is a mass of unusable garbage, and the defatted wool, after a simple treatment, can be turned into spinning, with spinning, exquisite and warm wool cloth and wool and cotton and linen blended fabrics can be easily manufactured, wool textile industry can also develop - just from the cotton industry development level and profits, if you add a little technical means, improve production efficiency, wool textile industry can develop into a profiteering industry. This is not Yan Liqiang's arbitrary judgment, but something that has been confirmed in the history of Yan Liqiang's previous life.

The Han Empire is a huge market! Take the lead in eating crabs first, and the technology of wool degreasing will spread in the blink of an eye.

There are not many places to raise sheep in Ganzhou and the northwest states, many places are wilderness, no grass grows, and the number of sheep that can be raised is limited, while the Gulang grassland near the northwest is a natural pasture!

On the one hand, there are huge profits and scarce wool resources, and on the other hand, it is occupied by the Seven Divisions of Shatu, which can raise many, many sheep, which in principle belongs to the Gulang grassland of the territory of the Han Empire, this is the contradiction!

- Capital escapes turmoil and strife, and its nature is timid. This is true, but not the whole truth. Capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just as nature is afraid of a vacuum. As soon as there is a proper profit, capital is emboldened. If there is 10 per cent of the profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere, if there is 20 per cent of the profit, it will be active, if there is 50 per cent of the profit, it will take risks, for the sake of 100 per cent of the profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws, and if there is 300 per cent of the profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even to the risk of hanging its head. If unrest and strife are profitable, it encourages them and strife.

This is Marx's words, what drives capital is actually human nature, and human nature will make the most suitable decision when contradictions arise!

All you need is to get ready, then press the start button, and then step on the accelerator, and the train of history will rumble towards the front with huge inertia......

This kind of perspective and vision is not available to others in this world, and this is also Yan Liqiang's real killer feature.

Just when Yan Liqiang was sorting out the thoughts in his head, Yu Qing, the little girl, had already come to the flower hall lightly and stood in front of Yan Liqiang, her expression was a little twisted and apprehensive.

"Ahem...... What's the matter, look at your face, it's not very good, is there anyone else in the Yan family who dares to bully my Qing'er?" Yan Liqiang originally wanted to pinch the little girl's face, but at the moment when he wanted to stretch out his hand, he saw the little girl's figure that had begun to develop rapidly and the pretty face that was already with a touch of peach blossom color, and felt that the action of pinching the face was too ambiguous, so he held back, coughed dryly, and asked with a smile.

"Childe, are you ...... Do you want to marry the young lady of the Lu family......" Yu Qing lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes, and asked in a whisper like a mosquito.

"Hehe, who did you listen to?"

"Everyone in the family knows about it, even Wu's mother knows, they all say that the son has gone to the Lu family two days ago to settle the family affairs!"

"Yes, the Lu family and I have indeed finalized the family affairs, just wait three years, after I am weak, I will marry the young lady of the Lu family!" Yan Liqiang said calmly.

"That son...... Will you still want me after marrying Miss Lu, will you drive me away?" Yu Qing raised her little face and looked at Yan Liqiang's eyes with a worried look.

"Yes, of course, who said I don't want you anymore, unless you want to marry in the future, I will prepare a thick dowry for you, and marry you off as a sister!"

Yu Qing hurriedly shook her head and said, "I'm not married...... I will never marry in my life, I like to follow and serve my son for the rest of my life!"

Yan Liqiang only regarded it as a joke for the little girl, so he nodded, "Okay, as long as you like it, then follow it forever, I will never drive you away!"

"Childe, but seriously?"

"Bold, you little girl actually dare to question the words of this son, who is the first archery master in the northwest of the Han Empire and the emperor's personal seal, Qi Yun Inspector and the four outstanding young people of Liuhe Town, Qinghe County, Pingxi County?" Yan Liqiang pretended to make a straight face and said to Yu Qing in a scareless manner, "What this son said, where is there any fake!"

Yu Qing, the little girl, was stunned for two seconds before she reacted to what Yan Liqiang meant by the series of words she just said, but for a moment, the little girl smiled like a flower, "I know that Childe is the best!", after saying this, the little girl ran away, and after running out of the door, she showed a pretty face from behind the door, "By the way, I almost forgot, Mother Wu asked me to ask Childe what he wanted to eat at night, and Mother Wu wanted to teach me to cook for Childe by myself......"

"Haha, I haven't eaten Mama Wu's food for a long time, so tell Mama Wu to have a taro ball and a braised pork!"

"Well......" the little girl ran away with a string of silver bell-like laughter.

In the evening, Yan Dechang came back with a smile on his face, obviously the opening of the water and fire machine mill today made him very happy, that is, when the father and son were eating together, Yan Dechang suddenly remembered one thing, "By the way, Liqiang, there is one thing I want to discuss with you!"

"What's the matter?"

"Today, the sixth grandfather and several elders in the town came to me, saying that according to the customs of our Ganzhou and the northwest, our family has repaired the fort wall of this Liuhe Town to protect the safety of the townspeople, and this Liuhe Town will be renamed, and this Liuhe Town will be surnamed Yan in the future, so that people will know that this is the territory of the Yan family at a glance!"

"Ah, there are such rules!" Yan Liqiang looked at Yan Dechang with some surprise, but when he thought of Lujiazhuang, he was relieved all of a sudden, it is estimated that the status of the Lu family in Lujiazhuang has also stabilized after the dock fort was built for Lu Jiayu, he thought for a while, "The name change of the town is a big deal, what do the villagers in the town think?"

A smile appeared on Yan Dechang's face, "All agree, the sixth grandfather came to me on behalf of the townspeople, the sixth grandfather said that you are so famous now, if Liuhe Town changes its name and surname Yan, the townsfolk can go out and talk about where they come from, and they can also get a little light, and no one dares to bully casually! Several elders in the town want you to come and rename this town......

Yan Liqiang thought about it, and then said, "Then let's call it Yan Anbao, our Yan family is here, and we will protect the safety of the villagers in the town......

Yan Dechang smacked it, then nodded, "Yan Anbao, this name is good, this name is ......."
