Chapter 348: Prosperity

The third-class wool cloth is not dyed variegated wool, there is brown, black, and white mixture, it should be that these wool is also relatively short and the like, and the feel is slightly rougher, such a difference is not said by the shopkeeper, but given by the other party.

But in fact, when they went to stroke, they didn't find anything wrong with it at all! To their touch, the only difference between this third-class wool cloth and the first-class wool cloth is that the color is not a solid color, it is very variegated, and as for the feel, there is no difference at all, right?

But since people say so, it should be a slight gap, but what makes this shopkeeper a little amazed is the textile process of this woolen cloth.

As a business house specializing in cloth shops, the shopkeeper of Dali Commercial Bank has been doing business for more than 20 years, and he has seen all kinds of cloth improvements in the past 20 years, and even they have bought and sold the most expensive silk in Datang, but to be honest, even the most expensive silk gives them the feeling that it is not as good as the textile technology of this cloth.

This is true, the most straightforward point is this wool thread, the other party's wool thread is not particularly thin, after all, no matter how fine it is, it can't be compared with silk, and the silk thread spun with excellent silk is called the real top silk.

But that's because silk is naturally very slender, so it has such a result, but what about wool? Wool is very short, wool and hemp should be about the same, even the original best linen, you can see that the thickness of the twine on the fine linen is actually uneven.

Of course, compared to coarse rags, fine linen cloth may be more uniform, but uniformity is also limited, and what about this wool thread? Not to mention the thin and long, the whole thread is very evenly woven throughout, as if they were born to be like this.

What amazes the shopkeeper even more is that the wool thread is often taken out separately, it is very strong, and it is difficult to be disassembled if it is not specially disassembled, to be precise, it has been turned into a whole.

Such high-end spinning skills are a little unclear to the white shopkeeper of the Dali Commercial Bank, such a spinning technology does not know how to do it, according to him, such a spinning technology, the cost of spinning the yarn of this cloth alone has exceeded 20 points, not to mention spinning these wool threads into cloth.

If the spinning technology is superb, then the weaving technology is even more superb, the whole wool cloth is densely woven, such a fine weaving degree, he has only seen it on extremely high-end silk, but now, he actually saw such textile technology on these wool cloths that can be said to be the lowest end of the cloth, at least cheaper than linen, do you dare to believe it?

He had already checked that almost all cloth weaving techniques were like this, which meant that the other party not only had enough manpower, but this technology alone was also the reason why so many family members of Datang came all the way to buy woolen cloth.

Now it's not just these gate valve families, but also the merchants who come from the Great Food.

However, the white shopkeeper knew that it was impossible for the merchants of Dashi to get the cloth from their hands at this price, and according to the big Han, they were related to taxes, and if the tariffs were increased, it was estimated that the price would be doubled.

But to be honest, even if the price of this woolen cloth is doubled, it is still cheap!

It's just that the white shopkeeper naturally doesn't know that the pricing strategy of this wool cloth is pushed out by Huo Gang, it is very simple, this is a sales strategy, and now the wool cloth is in the promotion stage, and the clothes made of wool in the past are very low-end, because the sheep smell on the wool is very difficult to remove.

Therefore, the wool made of carpets or wool felts is almost used by the herdsmen themselves, and it is impossible to sell them, but they have the technology to remove the grease on the wool, and then completely remove the sheep smell on the wool.

But for some people, if they haven't used it, they naturally feel that this thing is very low-end at the first time, so Huo just pushed the price so low, because only when the price is low, they can have enough profits.

As long as there is enough profit, these gate valve families do not mind promoting wool cloth products, once the wool products are sold, then it means that the wool of hundreds of thousands of sheep in the entire Han Dynasty has a sales channel.

Even their sheep population needs to be urgently expanded, and the number of sheep in the entire Han is estimated to increase several times in the next few years, and ordinary people in Dahan can also buy mutton to eat.

Although pork cannot be popularized for the time being, gradually, as long as ordinary people eat meat, the demand for food will decline, and then Dahan's grain can be exported to Datang.

It's all a virtuous circle.

The wool products are launched in the first, second, third, and the highest grade of special products, in fact, there is no difference in terms of craftsmanship.

The reason is very simple, now their technology is very advanced, at least textile technology is, the speed of progress is very fast, but textile technology has not advanced to the point where wool can be finely screened.

The reason for this is only manual screening, but now the speed of manual screening is too slow, Huo Gang simply did not screen much, but only selected the color of the wool, and the difference between goat hair and sheep wool.

The number of goats and sheep in the entire herd raised by the Turks is about half and half, mainly depending on the area where the Turks are distributed, such as places with harsh terrain, they can only breed goats, and sheep can also be raised in other places.

But there is also a difference between the wool between the two, first of all, wool cloth is definitely better than sheep wool, because goat hair is rougher, and the real value of goats is not wool, but cashmere.

Goats are used to produce cashmere, as for wool, there is not much, but sheep are different, sheep do not have cashmere, but their wool is suitable for making clothes.

In addition, there is actually a difference between sheep wool, just like there are some sheep breeds whose wool is super fine, and the finest sheep wool is even almost the same as cashmere, or even finer than cashmere, so many cheap cashmere products sold in later generations are almost made of superfine wool.

For ordinary people, there is no difference between the two.

And now Huo Gang is nothing more than a third-class wool cloth mixed with 50% goat, the second-class wool cloth mixed with about 20% goat, and the first-class wool cloth is naturally full of sheep's wool.

It doesn't matter whether ordinary people can distinguish it or not, but this difference naturally exists.

The reason why such a distinction was made was to sell it to the rich in the future.

Wool clothes have the excellence of wool clothes, not to mention anything else, in the era of no cotton, this woolen sweater in winter is an artifact of the cold, but the stinky problems of the rich Huo Gang is naturally extremely clear, they are not afraid of spending money, but they must definitely distinguish from ordinary people.

In fact, it is the difference between luxury goods and ordinary goods, even if they are made from the same factory, the same process, the same raw materials, and the luxury goods are hung, they are expensive, and the rich people want to be different from you.

So Huo just came up with this level, as long as this is publicized at that time, and then make some distinctions between them, then naturally there will be a lot of rich people who buy it, as long as these people buy it, then the profit will naturally increase greatly.

The real consumer group is still these rich people, because the profits are big!

With the arrival of winter, the entire Han Dynasty's already depressed environment gradually began to become prosperous again, because I don't know when, the people in Yumen Pass gradually increased.

And the merchants of the various cities below are even more prosperous.

Just when Dahan stepped into another stage, the visiting envoys who left Dahan had just returned to Chang'an at this time. You can't blame the envoys for walking slowly, they brought too many things with them when they returned, which is why they walked so slowly.

But no matter how slow it is, there will be a day, this is finally back in Chang'an, and after returning to Chang'an, the warehouse that has been prepared a long time ago has also been cleaned up, and all the goods transported back are directly put into storage, and after the envoy group reports to Li Shimin, these goods will be distributed to different places.

The next day, because the envoy group came back, it was naturally a big super meeting, and this time at the big court meeting, with the envoy group, there was also an envoy from the Han Dynasty, Guo Ming.

That is, the former deputy city lord of Yangguan City, the person who followed Annuo, originally this first envoy should have been made by someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Wu Ping's grade was too big to go far away, and the others, to be honest, were not very good.

The most suitable one for this is Guo Ming, as for Anno, it is naturally impossible to go out, even if Li Shimin will not do anything to him, but he is not very suitable for the past.

On the contrary, Guo Ming did not have this filter, so this time Guo Ming served as the main envoy of the Han Dynasty, and directly sent the envoy to the Tang Dynasty with the dowry of the Han Dynasty.

It is also the first time that the two sides have gone back and forth, if nothing else, Guo Ming is estimated to live in Datang for a while, and the task of the envoys of this era is still very important, but Guo Ming knows very well what he should do when he arrives.

When the other party held a court meeting, Guo Ming and the others waited outside, followed by Guo Ming were two young officials who were not in their grades, holding long gift lists in their hands.

This gift list is naturally a dowry, and soon Chang Lin's voice came from inside, and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin summoned Guo Ming, the envoy of the Han Dynasty.
