The Mansion of the Marquis of Hanzhong.

It wasn't until Cao Cao and the others returned to the Hanzhong Marquis Mansion in Linchuan that they completely calmed down their shock.

"Mr. Lin's water-powered loom is really a blessing for the people!"

Cheng Yu was still thinking about what the concept of 960 horses per day was, and said subconsciously.

"Mr. Lin, if the linen cloth produced by this water-powered loom enters the market circulation, what is the price?"

Jia Xu is more concerned about such a large amount of linen entering the cloth market, if the reserve price is impacted, I am afraid that the cloth shops on the market will go bankrupt one after another.

Lin Chuan heard the meaning of Jia Xu's words, so he replied with a smile:

"Please don't worry about the merchants and people who make a living from the cloth mill, I will not hold this water-powered loom in my hands, and I will give the owners of various cloth mills the opportunity to buy water-powered looms!"

Cao Cao was even more emotional when he heard that Lin Chuan didn't want to monopolize this water-powered loom.

"Mr. Lin not only sent the drawings of this hydraulic loom to Xuchang, but now he is also thinking about the world's businessmen, and Mr. Lin's character will be remembered by future generations!"

When everyone heard what Cao Cao said, they immediately felt that Mr. Lin was even taller and more majestic.

Cao Jie's eyes were full of little stars when he looked at Lin Chuan.

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were also very proud of their teacher's noble character.

At the dinner, everyone led by Xu Chu toasted Lin Chuan one after another.

And the mouth is full of praise:

"Cheers to Mr. Lin's noble character!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers to Mr. Lin's heart for the people of the world!"

"Cheers!"

"For Mr. Lin...... Cheers! ”

It wasn't until Xu Chu was speechless here, but it didn't affect his toast, so he just raised his head and did it.

Rao is Lin Chuan drank an extraordinary amount of alcohol, and looking at the three 'shadow clones Xu Chu' next to Xu Chu in front of him, he knew that he was definitely going to get drunk tonight.

The next day, at the time of the third pole of the sun.

Lin Chuan, who was drunk and unconscious last night, finally got up to find water to drink.

Cao Cao and the others were also as drunk as Lin Chuan, because unlike Lin Chuan, who was in his twenties and in the prime of life, Cao Cao and the others, who were already over fifty, were still resting.

Lin Chuan got up and went to the test field in Fuchu.

Because the desert island where Lin Chuan was located before was too far away from Hanzhong, Lin Chuan deliberately left five acres of land in the mansion as a test field when he built the mansion.

As for the other crops, they are planted in the fields outside the city, and there are special people who are responsible for taking care of them.

Lin Chuan looked at the cotton growing in the field and couldn't help but laugh happily.

Before the hydraulic loom was manufactured, Lin Chuan exchanged cotton seeds from the system.

"This water-powered loom with cotton can truly achieve the goal of not freezing to death in winter!"

Lin Chuan found that only city officials or wealthy merchants had warm fur coats in winter, while ordinary people wore sackcloth.

Although the linen is thick, it is still too porous due to the level of weaving, and it is not very warm in winter.

Although the linen woven by the water-powered loom is more compact, it is not as good as the cotton cloth of later generations.

The origin of cotton was in India and Arabia, and it was only during the Song Dynasty that it was really introduced to the interior in large quantities.

The cotton seeds provided by the system used by Lin Chuan are not only adaptable to the land, but also far more productive than ordinary cotton seeds.

"When Cao Cao and them wake up, they can give them another surprise!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan went to the production base outside the city again to learn about the manufacturing progress of the water-powered loom.

After Lin Chuan returned to the Hou Mansion, Cao Cao and the others also woke up one after another.

Lin Chuan used some snacks with Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Xu Chu.

Hearing that Lin Chuan, who had not yet successfully built a hydraulic loom from Xuchang Puyuan, asked Chen Yuan to sort out the key points of the production, he handed it over to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also immediately asked his henchmen and guards to bring the production points, and hurried to Xuchang and handed them over to Pu Yuan.

Then Lin Chuan took Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu to the experimental field in the mansion.

Xu Chu drank at most and didn't wake up, and Deng Ai Jiangwei followed Cao Jie to the production base to supervise the production and manufacturing of water-powered looms.

Cao Cao pointed to the lush farmland in front of him full of unknown crops, and asked Lin Chuan:

"Mr. Lin, I don't know what is planted in this field?"

"All that's grown in this area is cotton."

Cao Cao, who heard Lin Chuan's answer, couldn't help but ask again:

"Cotton? What is the wonderful use of this thing, is it a medicinal herb? ”

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu also cast inquiring glances.

"It is not a medicinal herb, and the fruit of cotton can be used as a textile cloth."

"The cloth woven from cotton thread is dense and thick, and the color is pure white, which makes it easy to dye."

Under Lin Chuan's explanation, Cao Cao and the three finally understood what cotton was.

Cao Cao, who had been thinking about the water-powered loom, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately said to Lin Chuan:

"Mr. Lin, isn't this cotton and that water-powered loom a perfect match?"

Lin Chuan saw that Cao Cao immediately discovered the superposition of cotton and hydraulic loom, so he smiled and said:

"Hahaha, the prime minister's expectation is good! This cotton and hydroloom is indeed a perfect match! ”

Lin Chuan first affirmed Cao Cao's opinion, and then continued:

"Cotton is more suitable for weaving than ramie, and the price of cotton is low enough compared to expensive animal hair fabrics and mulberry silk fabrics."

"When the cotton is ripe and picked, the efficiency of the hydraulic loom using cotton thread will be improved, and it is expected that each hydraulic loom can increase from 12 horses of linen per day to 15 pieces of cotton cloth per day!"

"And cotton can be used not only for weaving, but also as a warm filling for bedding and clothes!"

Cao Cao and the others were overjoyed when they heard that this cotton had so many effects.

"Mr. Lin, since this cotton is so useful, why is it only planted so little in the house?"

Cheng Yu recalled that he had not seen the same cotton cultivation in other farmlands in Hanzhong City, and couldn't help but ask Lin Chuan a little strangely.

So Lin Chuan also expressed the concerns in his heart:

"I didn't start growing cotton on a large scale right away, and I was mainly worried about two things."

"First, it is still unknown whether this cotton seed can adapt to the land of Hanzhong."

"The second is that the people have never seen cotton, and they don't know how to grow cotton, if the people start planting cotton at this time, the people who just have some surplus grain in their hands are afraid that they will not agree, or want to grow food."

Hearing Lin Chuan express his worries, Cheng Yucai said with a smile:

"Mr. Lin has such foresight, he must already have a solution in mind?"

"Not bad! The cotton is woven into cotton cloth, and then cotton clothes and bedding are made from cotton cloth, and then one of them is shown to the various cloth mills in the city....."

Lin Chuan said that he was a little thirsty here, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Jia Xu on the side continued Lin Chuan's train of thought:

"The owner of the cloth mill will inevitably want to buy a large number of cotton cloths when he sees that the quality of cotton cloth is better than linen cloth, and the price difference is not very huge!"

"At this time, Mr. Lin proposed that the cotton yield was insufficient, and naturally there were various cloth mill owners to preach the benefits of planting cotton to the people for Mr. Lin!"

Lin Chuan agreed with what Jia Xu said.
