Chapter 456: Philistine
Wang Xiujuan also said casually, the smell of wool is not heavy, and she doesn't wear it anyway.
"Do you want to make it into a cashmere sweater and sell it?"
It's just incidental to sell it, and it's mainly for the layout of the previous strategy.
"Some of them will be sent to the north to keep the soldiers warm, and if there are many of them thinking about selling them to the outside world."
"Then you're planning to continue to cooperate with the palace in this business?" Wang Xiujuan asked suspiciously.
Ning Changrong shook his head without hesitation, "We can't cooperate anymore, we are already conspicuous enough, and our family can't spend all the money we earn in a few lifetimes, these wools are all in the palace, and it has nothing to do with us."
Ning Qingxi thought for a while and said, "Daddy, do you want to sell the wool machine to the palace?"
Ning Changrong said with a smile: "That's right, this wool machine is not valuable, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be dismantled and copied, but it can also make a quick profit."
"Didn't you say you were going to build a greenhouse where you could eat vegetables in winter? When the time comes, I'll use this money to build it for you."
Ning Qingxi was speechless: "Dad, you're too picky, aren't you?" Our family has so much money to sell this before they are willing to build me a greenhouse for vegetables?"
"I don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, but our family does have a lot of money, and the expenses are not small. It's a little bit to be able to make a little money, and it's a business life anyway."
"Maybe you can go down in history, girl, isn't there a Jenny loom now? Look, do you want to call this Qingxi Textile Machine?"
Ning Qingxi hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "I don't dare, I found this thing in an encyclopedia, where can it be named after me?" She's not thick-skinned yet.
"But the drawings and parts of this machine are backed up in the workshop, can they come to us and buy them?"
Ning Changrong said confidently, "Just leave it to Dad."
Ning Qingxi's eyes rolled, she not only wanted to make greenhouse vegetables, but also wanted hot springs.
"Dad, do you want to make another machine, you can directly turn wool into wool, and then directly into sweaters."
"You mean the woollen loom?" Ning Changrong said.
"Uh-huh." She didn't know either, but it should be called this name, Ning Qingxi nodded, looking at Ning Changrong expectantly, the two together should be able to sell more silver.
Ning Changrong thought for a few seconds and then refused, "No, I want a wool loom because of the lack of population, and the productivity can't keep up, but now there are so many vacant positions, there is no shortage of manpower."
In his position, Ning Changrong immediately thought of a series of jobs drawn from wool, which could help the people of the people earn more silver.
If you make a wool loom, isn't that just a robbery of their work?
In this way, the labor cost may be higher, but where can it be expensive, and the human labor at this time is the least valuable.
In the end, Ning Qingxi could only regret. Anyway, the family also has other income, enough for her to get a hot spring.
The fief that Chang Yuan gave to the two of them is still in a state of zero income.
Those two places still have to be managed and taken care of.
But the premise is that the side has settled down, but in fact, there are always large and small *** in Jiaozhou, and they can't even live with the people's livelihood, where is there any income.
The family's expenses all depend on the income from those lands, as well as the car dealership department store supermarket opened by Ning Qingxi in Taixi County.
So she spent this money justifiably, and she contributed a lot of income to her family!
In the past few days, Ning Changrong found a group of carpenters and urgently rushed 300 wool machines, and they are still being manufactured.
Ning Changrong asked people to help move a finished wool machine directly into the palace to find Chang Yuan.
That is, Ning Changrong can bring such a big thing into the palace, don't even think about what other people say.
Gonggong Li took Ning Changrong to the gate of the hall to ask for a meeting, and sure enough, Chang Yuan didn't blame him at all after hearing about it, but instead walked from the dragon chair with great interest
"This little thing can make wool into a thread?"
Ning Changrong nodded, "
Your Majesty, please step back, and the minister himself will demonstrate it for you."
Chang Yuan stepped back a halfway, Ning Changrong took out the wool in the small bag next to him, he only brought a little over, twisted it lightly, and slowly operated the wool machine according to Wang Xiujuan's technique.
"Hey, it's really become a thread." Gonggong Li exclaimed.
Chang Yuan stepped forward, twisted the woolen thread rolled out by the machine with his hand, and sniffed it closely, "It doesn't seem to smell like sheep's flesh."
Ning Changrong said with a smile: "The minister asked people to grease these wools, clean and dry, in fact, there is still some smell of mutton, but it has been reduced a lot."
Chang Yuan said knowingly, "This thing was made by the Lord of Tai'an again."
"Your Majesty is wise." Ning Changrong slapped a sycophant.
Chang Yuan scolded him with a smile, "What is wise? When will you learn this too?"
Ning Changrong smiled and did not speak.
Chang Yuan pointed to the wool machine and said, "Use this machine to make the wool thread you said, how will it be operated later? Didn't you say you were going to make it into a dress? Is this thing really better than cotton?"
"The minister does not dare to deceive His Majesty." Ning Changrong explained: "After using this machine to make wool threads, you can collect them and use them for knitting sweaters."
"I can show you how to weave it."
Before he came, he specially learned how to knit sweaters from his mother, and he couldn't be too specific, but it was okay to simply show his hands.
Chang Yuan raised his hand and motioned for Ning Changrong to start.
Ning Changrong took out the two wooden skewers he had prepared, and took out a small section of woolen thread that he had imitated at home.
A little clumsy put the wool thread on the wooden skewer, and Chang Yuan probably understood after the slightly rusty demonstration.
It's similar to weaving, except that the silk used to weave the cloth is thinner, and the woolen thread is thicker.
"It's kind of interesting." He could see that the threads would resemble pieces of cloth, which would then be spliced together into a garment.
After speaking, Chang Yuan returned to the dragon chair and sat down, "I think this wool is made into wool, and it seems that it is okay not to use this wool machine."
"Your Majesty, it's doable, but it's slow, and it's not as solid as a wool machine." Ning Changrong said fifteen-ten.
"If you have a wool machine, you can save a lot of time to use it for knitting sweaters, and the most important thing is that the wool threads woven by the wool machine are stronger, and the wool clothes made in this way are also warmer."
Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me what you think."
Ning Changrong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have already opened the market on the grassland preliminarily, as long as the news of the purchase of wool is released later, there will definitely be a steady stream of wool."
"What is lacking now is a wool machine, and the minister can supply it here."
Chang Yuan pointed to himself in surprise and said, "You want to sell the wool machine to me?"
Ning Changrong showed a very mercenary look.
