Chapter 318: Wool

"Wool?"

Li Kang looked at Duanmu Ci with a surprised expression, he remembered that he hadn't told the other party about this, how did he know?

If you can think of wool, you must first know the role of wool, and then consider its economic and political value.

Li Kang doesn't think that a person can imagine a new use for a traditional waste just by making up his brain.

After receiving support from Yang Pingwei, Duanmu Ci rushed to see Li Kang non-stop, and vigorously promoted his plan for opening up the northern trade routes and controlling the barbarian tribes along the way.

What surprised Li Kang was the use of wool to bind the barbarian tribes in his plan, so that they would become dependent on Huaxia and have to keep pace with Huaxia.

This strategy is not unusual!

This is a strategy that history has proven successful!

The point is that this is "history" for Li Kang, but for Duanmuci, the Anglo-Saxons did not know where to play in the mud at the time when he lived!

"How did Zigong come up with this?" Li Kang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Could it be that wool weaving technology has existed since ancient times?"

"Whether it existed in ancient times, His Majesty can't tell, but it has never been popularized, and even if the ancients mastered the skills, it has been lost..."Duanmu Ci said, "Your Majesty found it by chance when he was looking through the books in the big library, and it can be said that he accidentally inserted willows!"

"Is there a book in the big library that introduces wool weaving?" Li Kang was shocked, "How come I don't know!"

Most of the books in the library are Chinese classics written down by the readers, and there are some classics that are very famous but lost in later generations.

[Could it be that this is another book that has been lost in later generations?] Li Kang couldn't help but have a feeling of hatred for his ancestors.

"It's impossible for the monarch not to know!" Duanmu Ci smiled, but his tone was very firm, and said, "That book is called "A Collection of History and Folk Tales of European and American Countries". ”

As soon as Duanmu Ci said this, Li Kang immediately reacted, there is such a book in ten, and the author of the book is himself.

When the library was first built, in order to enrich the library and continue the cultural heritage of China, Li Kang specially issued an order to call on the people of all China to actively donate books, regardless of the type, which once caused a wave of national book writing, and he himself was also affected by this wave and personally joined it.

With the little goods in Li Kang's stomach, he is certainly incomparable with those who have read all his life, but his advantage is that he lived in a late era, and he is in the period of information explosion, which can be described as well-informed, although the knowledge in his brain is fragmented and fragmented, but he can't bear the fragments, and the total patchwork has also allowed him to make up a few books, including the "History and Folk Tales of European and American Countries" just mentioned by Duanmuci.

However, the book does not mention the process of wool spinning, but when talking about the "sheep eat people" movement, it was mentioned that wool can be used to make woolen coats and blankets, and it was noticed by Duanmuci.

"Zigong is really careful, if you hadn't mentioned it, I, the so-called author, would have almost forgotten it completely!" Li Kang laughed at himself.

"The king is just busy with affairs, occupying too much energy, and has no time to take care of miscellaneous things outside his body!" Duanmu Ci hurriedly said, "The king is diligent and loves the people, this is the blessing of all the Chinese people!"

"Haha, when will you do this?" Li Kang smiled, then waved his hand again, stopping what Duanmu Ci was about to say, and said: "Although I know that wool can indeed bring huge profits, I only know a little bit about it, and I don't know the specific details, how can you solve this problem in the short term?"

"The disposal of wool, in fact, we don't have to find a way to find a way in the short term, we can try it slowly..."Duanmu Ci said without humility or arrogance, "We can buy wool while slowly groping, without delay... Since wool is known to be absolutely useful, even if it is not needed for a while, what is the point of hoarding it? Moreover, His Majesty believed that wool weaving was not a sophisticated technology, and with the wisdom of the Chinese people, it would not be long before it would be overcome, and the wool would soon come in handy... However, the plan to open up the northern trade route should be sooner rather than later. ”

"What you said makes sense, I support you in principle!" Li Kang nodded and said.

"Xie Junshang!" Duanmu was overjoyed, with Li Kang's support, he could rest assured that he would be able to carry out his actions boldly, and he didn't have to scruple about it.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first..."Li Kang said, "Have you found a breakthrough?"

"The Ge tribe, who have been nomadic for a long time in the northwest of Suwu County, is the first northern barbarian to trade with Suwu County. It is convenient to contact and easy to deal with, which is the best breakthrough for us to try to enter the grassland, and my subordinates believe that they are also happy to be friends with Huaxia. Duanmu Ci said confidently.

"It's good if you have faith... But you can't put your eggs in one basket!" Li Kang reminded.

"Your Majesty Mingjian! A tribe like the Ge clan has five more in the records of his subordinates!" Duanmu Ci replied.

"Very good, just let it go, if you need anything, just tell me, I will help as appropriate, which department you need to help, and just go to their person in charge... I will greet them in advance, as long as it does not affect the implementation of the basic national policy (double-headed eagle plan), as long as it does not betray Huaxia, I will do my best to do what you say!"

"Thank you for your trust!"

"Well, on the side of the Great Banner Country, you have to keep in touch at all times, you can't just rely on us, they will also get benefits, you must also do your part!"

"After the victory of the first stage, His Majesty will immediately send someone to inform the Great Banner Country!" Duanmu Ci said.

"Okay, is there anything else you want to report?" Li Kang said.

Duanmu Ci knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and immediately shook his head and said, "Only this thing... Your Majesty needs to prepare immediately, and please allow Your Majesty to retire!"

"Stand down..."Li Kang smiled and said.

"Your Majesty retires!" Duanmu Ciwei bowed slightly, turned around and left the political hall.

After Duanmuci left, Li Kang rubbed the corners of his forehead tiredly, and after half a moment, he looked at the plan submitted by Duanmuci from beginning to end, he was full of interest in this plan, and he needed to think carefully again to see if there was anything that needed to be filled.

......

As night fell, the special combat team in the jungle west of Taozhu Town finally began to take action under Luo Shixin's order after waiting for a day.
