"Oh~! Is Jiangpu County suitable for breeding? Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the others.

Everyone: "......"

Xu Da asked Tang He in a low voice: "What was the place in Jiangpu like during the war?" ”

"There's no particularly high mountain, is it? What does soil look like? Tang He thought about it, not too sure.

Seeing that everyone stopped their chopsticks, the chief said directly: "The mountains in the northwest of Jiangpu County are very short, a large number of mountains are gentle slopes, and the southeast is the alluvial plain of the Yangtze River, and the land is fertile.

Sheep are not suitable for large-scale breeding in the south of the Yangtze River due to their fear of heat in summer, and their milk production is small.

Goats are most suitable for putting on the hillside, and the mutton of our good cashmere clothes is taken from goats, and the goats have a long milk production cycle, up to half a year.

At the same time, goat's milk can also adapt to a very small number of lactose intolerant infants, which is really not good, and the village has lactase extraction technology to produce some low-lactose milk powder in small batches.

In the plain area of Jiangpu County, we use steam engine equipment to grow crops to reduce labor costs and liberate labor.

The manure of cattle and sheep is used as fertilizer in the plain area to promote the growth of crops, and the breeding of cattle and sheep and the increase of crop yield are not delayed. ”

Now the ministers realized, it turns out that Jiangpu is so suitable for raising cattle and sheep, and the terrain is so dripping! Yes, goats should be raised on the slopes.

Otherwise, how can there be a song card called a hillside sheep! It's because they know how to raise goats, the ancients are amazing!

Several problems were solved at once, Zhu Yuanzhang ate happily, ate a few bites of meat, and inadvertently looked at Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong's afterglow has already discovered this problem, he doesn't know, he wants to resign, he doesn't play, and it's easy to lose his life if he always stays in Zuo Cheng's position.

The root of everything is in the body of the master of Xiaqiu Village, that person is not a person at all, how can you know everything, where were you before?

Let's work hard, and finally beat down the country, and you jump out.

When you come out, you're an official! Let's compete in officialdom, you hide in the back, push a village to the front, you ......

"The cashmere clothes are really good to wear, light and warm, do the sheep we eat and kill the sheep have cashmere?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt hot when he stopped to rest, he wore cashmere pants and cashmere sweater, and a duck down jacket on the outside.

He pulled his down jacket open, wiped his sweat, and remembered cashmere.

Everyone looked at each other and kept silent, God knows what happened to cashmere, and he was not a sheep farmer.

The chief was chewing something in his mouth, and he couldn't speak for a while.

A young man in the village spoke: "Your Majesty, there are few goats and cashmere in the south, and goats only strive to grow cashmere when it is cold, which is different from wool.

Our goats here, when they are killed now, they must first be skinned and combed, with an iron brush, and one or two cashmere.

If it is raised until the beginning of spring, it is not only better to comb, you can have it without killing sheep, but you can also get more than two taels of cashmere.

Where the north is located, cashmere can reach three or four taels, cashmere clothes are very precious, if specifically for cashmere, you need to screen goat breeds to raise according to cashmere.

Now the sheep killed, the cashmere of five sheep to make a cashmere sweater, the comprehensive value of labor costs and the cycle time of taking cashmere is not small! ”

"So cumbersome? How much is this piece worth? Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the cashmere sweater on his body.

His son Zhu Fan took over again: "Father, the cashmere clothes and pants we wear are handmade by Xiaqiu Village, which is similar to what is sold.

Good cashmere sweaters are sold in clothing stores for fifty yuan, and cashmere pants are sixty percent, and they are no longer in stock.

A batch was made and hung up, and it was immediately bought. The other is clothes made of wool, which are cheap, five or six hundred yuan a piece.

Our sheep's wool is coarse, and goats are also coarse in addition to cashmere, which is generally used to make felts and blankets, but they can also be used to weave clothes.

In the past, I hired a group of women to make sweaters, wash wool and skim men. ”

"Good! Well! Not bad! Zhu Yuanzhang kept bowing his head, his son has learned the skill, and he will not worry about going to the fiefdom in the future.

"Getting together a family's sweaters and pants, the money earned by working hard for half a year is expensive."

Zhan Tong, the secretary of the ministry, looked at the cashmere sweater on his body and said that wool textiles were expensive.

He was rewarded by His Majesty, and his family didn't have it, so he wanted to buy a sweater for his family.

Zhu Yuanzhang's third son, Zhu Li, was unhappy when he heard it: "What's expensive?" The wool from the Northland was sent over, and we washed it manually, as well as detergent.

Then degreasing, there are also artificial and degreasing agents, and then dyeing, adding dyes, spinning, combining, and so on.

A process down, more than a dozen steps, which is not labor money and material money?

A woman makes a sweater, it takes several days to knit a piece, according to the salary, she earns 100 wen in five days, in fact, plus welfare, which is equivalent to 200 wen. ”

"In a few days, the new cashmere sweater and cashmere pants will be ready, and Your Majesty will be able to give you a set for your family."

Li Chang swallowed the dish in his mouth, and when he saw what Zhan Tong was going to say, he quickly interjected.

"It's so troublesome, five or six hundred wen is really not expensive." Zhan Tong spoke up, there is no need to buy sweaters, just wait.

……

After lunch, some children fell asleep, while others continued to play.

The children from outside hurried home, and His Majesty gave them to the house, and they couldn't be lost.

In another half an hour, everyone retreated, just come out to play for so long, it's cold outside.

Zhu Wentian didn't go to the box hotel, went to Xiaqiu Village, went to the ancestral hall to draw drawings, the mountain temple was cold and there was no heating.

If he goes to the mountain temple, he needs to burn the fire first, and then light the standing stove, and he is worried about carbon monoxide poisoning when he sleeps at night.

I'm going to get the heating over next year and spend the occasional night at the mountain temple.

At the moment he was drawing a sweater knitting machine, and before he hired a large number of women to do the work, in order to increase the number of employed people.

Now that the system is gradually improving, the increase in the number of employed people should not be achieved in the context of wasting labor resources.

More other jobs need to be arranged, and then there will be time to have more children, and give money for having children, all the way up to the age of ten, or older.

"What other job is suitable for a woman to do? Generally, it is clothing, or food processing.

How many things are needed inside Daming? Ready-to-wear clothing must be more expensive than the cost of making clothes at home before people are willing to buy them.

Sometimes people don't care about the cost of manpower, anyway, they do a little bit a day and do it for their families to wear, and this time is not worth it for them.

To start with spinning, all advanced machinery or semi-mechanization, the cost of spinning, weaving, and making clothes by the people themselves is higher than buying.

Foreign trade ceramics can not be too large, so if the price is not high, it must be controlled, and the same is true for silk, and the people of Daming have not yet! It's all taken out and exchanged for something else.

Gemstones are fine for import and reprocessing, but they don't require much manpower.

The number of ramie increased when it was interplanted, but it still could not meet the needs of the people of the whole Ming Dynasty, and many families could not afford to make new clothes.

Think about it again, there is no endless road, let everyone move, don't just stay ......"

Zhu Wentian muttered while painting, and he found that the biggest problem was that the land output resources were not enough.
