Chapter 43: Cashmere

"Honored guest, are you sure you want to buy these rags?"

Lun Shen Angkun was incredulous, and asked again and again, wanting to confirm again whether he was dreaming or not, and had hallucinations that he shouldn't have, how could there be such a stupid person in this world.

No matter how you look at Li Jing, she doesn't look like a fool, is it true that the lord who is stupid and has a lot of money looks like a normal person on the outside?

At this moment, in Lunshen Angkun's heart, he labeled Li Jing as a stupid person with a lot of money!

"It's true, if you don't sell it......"

"Sell, sell, sell, please wait, I will go back and greet the clansmen and collect all the wool, but can we not exchange it for other items, such as tea, and so on."

Without waiting for Li Jing to finish speaking, Lun Shen Angkun hurriedly said, for fear that he would be slow to agree, and let Li Jing, a stupid and money-rich fool, run away.

However, they don't need copper coins, and copper coins can't be used in this place anyway, so it's better to barter them for supplies they can use.

"That's not good, in Datang, we all use currency to trade, we give money to buy goods, and you can also use copper coins to buy our tea and other items."

Li Jing shook his head and refused to barter the method, he planned to use currency to buy goods in the future, not only the Tang Dynasty should use a unified currency, but even the areas conquered by the Tang Dynasty, such as the prefectures and prefectures, must use the Tang Dynasty's monetary system.

In the future, Datang's currency will be circulated all over the world, and Datang's currency must be above the whole world.

Of course, there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal!

After hearing this, Lun Shen Angkun's face was not very good, since this place was occupied by Tubo, many materials of the Tang Dynasty could not be circulated here at all, if it was bought and sold in the way Li Jing said, what is the difference between copper coins and wool, they are all things that cannot be eaten!

"You don't have to worry, soon Datang will be able to drive Tubo out of here, let your Tuyuhun King come back to lead you, and it won't be long before my Datang merchants will reappear on this grassland."

Li Jing said with a smile, he was very confident in defeating Tubo.

But others have no confidence in this, and they scoff at Li Jing's words.

How powerful Tubo is, the herdsmen here know very well, the Tang Dynasty has been at war with Tubo for so many years, and has never driven Tubo away, where is the confidence to be able to drive Tubo away?

"Even if I can't get rid of Tibet, I can still negotiate peace with Tibet, and it won't be a problem to open a mutual market here."

The other party's expression changed, Li Jing saw it all, and he also understood what the other party was worried about, so he threw out another bargaining chip, that is, to open a mutual market.

The premise of opening the mutual market is to drive away the Tubo people, not any peace talks, there can only be one voice in this land, this place will eventually belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo should go back to their plateau!

"This ...... Is this true? โ€

Lun Shen Ang Kun is unbelievable, if it were true, it would be great!

"Really, pearls aren't so real!"

Li Jing nodded.

"Distinguished guest, please wait here, I will go and ask the people to collect all the wool!"

Lun Shen Angkun turned around and ran towards the clansmen, shouting as he ran, asking everyone to collect the wool and sell it to the rich man from the Tang Dynasty!

After everyone learned the ins and outs of the matter, they took their excess wool and sent it to Li Jing, a big fool from the Tang Dynasty.

Collecting wool, Li Jing handed over to his subordinates to do.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Turning Trash into Treasure] achievement, and a reward gift box! โ€

A long-lost gift box!

Li Jing hurriedly opened it.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 iron combs for cashmere!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a handbook of advanced wool textile technology. โ€

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining five sets of wool textile equipment!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Commander Batu!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a team of 10,000 muskets (all equipped with manual rifles, ample ammunition). โ€

Batu?

Li Jing was very surprised, he didn't expect to open a gift box this time, and he was able to open the character of Badu, which was really surprising!

Batu, Genghis Khan's grandson, the founder of the Golden Horde, and the commander of the Second Western Expedition.

The famous military strategist in the history of the Mongol Empire and the world first sent Su Butai to lead a cavalry raid on Buriar, so that Mรถngke destroyed the Kipchak and removed the obstacles to attacking the Rus' states.

Batu conquered the Rus' kingdoms and Hungary, a neighbor of the Rus' countries, and then established the Kipchak Khanate, also known as the Golden Horde.

It can be described as a remarkable military achievement, which shocks the entire Western world!

The system gave him Batu, is this intended for him to prepare for the Western Expedition in the future?

To the west of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Western Regions, there were also powerful empires such as Dashi and Rome.

Li Jing is really looking forward to leading the army to the west in the future and expanding the territory for the Tang Dynasty!

Aside from pulling out, the most important thing at the moment is the technology related to wool weaving, this time the system really gives, he can give whatever he wants, if only it could be like this every time!

Li Jing took out the "Advanced Wool Textile Technology Manual" from the system space and opened it, which recorded how to use an iron comb to extract cashmere from sheep.

Take cashmere on the live sheep, generally from the beginning of April to the beginning of May, the comb should be close to the skin of the sheep, and the force should be even, so as to better get the cashmere, otherwise not only can not take the good cashmere, but also may hurt the sheep.

After taking the cashmere, it is to remove the fat, first soak the cashmere in water, add some chemicals to it, and soak it for a period of time to remove the oil on the cashmere.

Take out the soaked cashmere and dry it, add an appropriate amount of talcum powder, and then remove the talcum powder.

First of all, the steps of impurity, loosening, opening, carding, combing, drafting, etc., some of these steps need to be completed repeatedly, relying on advanced equipment, which can speed up the manufacture of qualified wool and start spinning sweaters.

A sweater is not only light and warm, but more importantly, it has a low cost and can be promoted throughout Datang, so that every household can wear it.

Sweaters are actually sold at a high price to ordinary people in Datang at a low price, and high-quality sweaters are sold to dignitaries at a high price.

Li Jing plans to sell five copper plates for ordinary sweaters, and ten copper coins for high-quality sweaters.

In a few years, Datang will definitely be able to develop into a prosperous era in his hands!

How to sell woolen sweaters, you still need to go back and think about it!

At present, the focus is still on dealing with Tubo, as long as Tubo is driven out of Qinghai, the entire Qilian Mountain Range and the entire steppe in Qinghai will belong to the Tang Dynasty.

Every year, Datang will be provided with a steady supply of wool, are you afraid that Datang will not be rich?
