Chapter seven hundred and seventieth Tokyo wool is as expensive as oil

The civil strife of the Liao Dynasty was pacified by the talent and heroism of the Empress Dowager Xiao Tali. The Liao Dynasty celebrated the whole country, which was even more lively than the Zhengdan period. This meant that the Liao Dynasty could rest and recover the national strength.

No matter which country, the people are the most simple, and the thing they expect most is to live a good life. That's all, their concern for national affairs is also related to their personal interests. The Yelu Chongyuan rebellion made them panic, fearing that separatist events would occur in the Liao Dynasty.

Song Xiaoyi and Zhou Zhan saw the scenes of celebrations everywhere along the way, and they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing whether this was good or bad for the Song Dynasty.

When the Black Hand left Shangjing City, its powerful intelligence system was already running. In less than five days, Zhao Zhen had already received the Black Hand's secret report. At this time, Zhao Zhen was standing in front of the huge wool loom to watch how this thing turned the wool into wool.

The eunuch sent a special wax ball, and gently cracked the notes and the words on it appeared in front of him. Zhao Zhen smiled slightly. If Xiao Tali had not had such a means, how could he protect his son and the great Liao dynasty? This woman would not be simple!

He threw the note into the wool-washing pool, and the handwriting quickly dissipated completely, and the piece of paper slowly sank, as if it had never happened before. It was not surprising for Zhao Zhen to guess what he had already guessed. The wool loom in front of him was the top priority.

But when the fluffy and fluffy wool turned from a huge loom to wool, a surprising expression burst out in Zhao Zhen's eyes, which surprised the officials who were on the jail. It was just a loom. How could His Majesty show the joy of a treasure?

Obviously this is wrong. For Zhao Zhen, this is not only a machine for making wealth, but also a powerful weapon. It is like the most gentle poison in the world, which makes people unable to detect, but its destructive power destroys the economy of the Dangxiang people like a storm.

The Song Dynasty was about to start a new war model. In the economic war, Zhao Zhen had been accumulating strength for this war, which was also his jumping offensive strategy. He first attacked Dangxiang, seized a small piece of horse farming land, and then attacked the Liao Dynasty to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and expand the horse farming land. Now it is time to turn his attention to Dangxiang.

Only by completely recapturing the Hetao land can Zhao Zhen feel at ease and devote all his strength to the war against the Liao Dynasty. He turned to the officials beside him and asked: "Can such a loom be mass-produced?"

The official bowed and replied, "It's totally OK. Although the structure of this loom is complicated, it is all wooden tools. As long as the craftsman is skilled in three or five days, you can get it!"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "There is a large-scale production of such looms, the more the better! You will use all the extra idle manpower from now on, and speed up the construction of looms. It is best to use the method of running water to create them."

The official asked a little puzzled: "The official, the gentleman dared to ask, although this loom is clever and can turn wool into wool, it is not a lot of money to make this thing. Is it..."

Sancai, who was standing beside him, drank: "This is something you can ask? The official must have the essence of this. Just go and do it. How can so many relationships come about?"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and pulled up the official who was kneeling and said, "It doesn't matter. I can't tell you very clearly, but you must also let you know that the money for building looms will not be wasted. Someone will soon purchase these looms, and it will be a large number of acquisitions."

The official who was in charge looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise. In his opinion, who would spend money to buy this thing? Even if he turned wool into wool, it seemed useless except knitting it into a blanket. If anyone went out in a wool coat, he would not be laughed at to death?

Faced with his surprise, Zhao Zhen just smiled. Who said that wool clothes can't be worn out? It's just that the method is wrong. Once you wear them, it's difficult to take off your clothes like sweaters...

With wool, the rest is less sweater needles to support the clothes. Compared with fabrics, the most rare convenience of sweaters is that they need to be made into clothes. Sweater needles, which seemingly insignificant but most critical, are essential.

In the Song Dynasty, there was no shortage of diligent women. They could always provide more or less wealth to their families in their spare time, and they enjoyed it. The factory could recruit these idle temporary workers and give them wages with time.

In fact, the merchants in the Song Dynasty were very smart. They not only recruited these women, but also did not limit the time. They just posted the labor money of a woman with the most, the fastest speed, and the most beautiful clothes, and ten cents a month...

Ten cents of money! This is a wealth that a man was lucky enough to earn in a factory for three months! This miracle was spread all over the streets and alleys, and it also made all the women in the Song Dynasty look red. I have never heard that women other than the courtesans can earn so much money in a month.

This is a wealth that can be reached with just hands! The woman is also called Du Shiniang... because her surname happens to be Du.

Of course, in order to promote the sweater Zhao Zhen and his harem, Zhao Zhen rewarded the court officials with exquisite sweaters at the dynasty meeting at the beginning of the month, and Wang Yuyan, as the queen of the central palace, cooperated actively.

The wife of the imperial decree and relatives of the royal family in the court, each of whom was a female relative who could enter the palace would be rewarded with one, including the married princess Zhao Miaoyuan...

Sweaters, which are eye-catching, quickly became popular after the first appearance in the Song Dynasty, and were warm and comfortable. More importantly, as long as they were worn on the outer cover, it would not affect the appearance at all. Some people even deliberately put the high collar up and exposed it outside the long gown.

Not only sweaters emerged, but also cotton and cotton coats emerged at the same time in the Song Dynasty. They are as warm and beautiful as sweaters. As long as they are well smudged, cotton can also become exquisite clothing. With sweaters, a brand new style was performed in the Song Dynasty. Although it is still a long robe, a short-clad outer cover, a skirt and a jacket, etc., it gives people a new feeling.

Tokyo City led the fashion of the entire Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty led the trend of the world. Soon these cotton coats and sweaters became important goods of the Song Dynasty, and the supply in the world was in short supply.

As the raw material for sweaters, people call this kind of wool textile brown, because sweaters, also called brown clothes, were already available in the Qin and Han dynasties, but sweaters were not comfortable at that time. Later, the emergence of twine and silk gradually replaced brown clothes.

Nowadays, the brown clothes in the Song Dynasty are called sweaters. It is because of its soft texture, warm and cold. After several processes, it is completely different from the original brown clothes. It doesn’t feel rough and stubborn when worn. It is really comfortable to add a cotton underwear inside.

At this time, the raw material for sweaters and other wool products was very in short supply. The wool in the Song Dynasty was not enough. What's more, the Song people's favorite was mutton soup. The amount of sheep could no longer meet the needs of the factory while providing delicious mutton.

At this time, we need to import wool from other countries, and the country that produces wool is Xixia... The merchants of the Song Dynasty spared no expense to purchase wool from the Xixia people, which led to the development of the animal husbandry industry in Xixia. Many Chinese officials in the court saw this and suggested that Zhao Zhen raise sheep in the Song Dynasty. After all, sheep are not as "sexy" as horses.
