Chapter 110 The wool of the Turks!
Chapter 110 The Turkic wool!
Changsun Chong looked at Changsun Wuji, then looked at Li Shimin and the other two, and finally made a decision: "Brother Xu, I am willing to stay and manage this new art gallery!"
"Haha! Brother Zhang, I promise you won't regret it!"
Xu Tian said with a smile.
Changsun Wuji's face was full of relief. Changsun Chong's decision to manage the new art gallery in front of His Majesty is also a great test for his character, which shows that his character has become more mature and steady.
bite!
"The god-level reminder that a group of Turkic merchants came to Qingqiu County, with a large amount of sheepskin in their hands, mixed with a large amount of wool."
kindness!
After hearing this system prompt, Xu Tian became energetic in an instant.
Although wars occurred frequently between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, the transactions between merchants were not restricted. Turkish merchants often entered the Tang Dynasty to trade materials.
This seemed to allow the Turks to obtain the supplies from the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the Tang Dynasty also obtained the supplies from the Turks such as beef, mutton, leather and other supplies!
However, when dealing with the Turks, one hundred thoughts were needed. As the system prompted, the ancients sold leather, which was sold on cars.
Therefore, there is a lot of wool mixed on the carriage, and if you don’t pay attention, you will not be able to find it at all.
During the Tang Dynasty, wool was no different from garbage. There was a thick layer of oil on it, and it could not be cleaned by ordinary methods.
If the oil of wool cannot be washed away, it will be very hard and has a scent of sheep. Let me ask, who will wear stinky and hard wool clothes?
Therefore, wool was not circulated in the Tang Dynasty, while the Turks did not care about the mutton smell of wool, but they did not have textile technology and could only use leather as clothes.
However, these wools are good things for Xu Tian!
You should know that later generations of wool degreasing technology was very mature and was roughly divided into two methods. The first is to soak it in a special medicine solution. Xu Tian cannot buy this medicine solution at present, so he can only choose the second one.
The second type is to soak the wool with ethanol. Ethanol is a fuel additive with a pungent taste, and most of the smell of gasoline is ethanol.
There are two ways to make ethanol. The first is synthesis. This method requires a very high industrial strength to achieve it. The industrial level of the Tang Dynasty could not be met.
The second method is fermentation method. The specific process is similar to winemaking, and even the raw materials are almost the same.
Xu Tian was planning to buy all the wool and leather, then use fermentation to make ethanol, defat the wool, and then make a wool.
In a few months, it will be winter. The cotton coats with high-quality fabrics will be sold for 1,000 taels of silver. A high-quality sweater will be sold for 1,000 taels of silver, which is not an exaggeration.
hey-hey!
Thinking of this, Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh.
"Tian'er?
why are you laughing?"
Li Shimin asked in confusion when he saw Xu Tian laughing.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law suddenly thought of something happy, and then she laughed. The son-in-law still has something to do tomorrow, so I won't accompany my father-in-law. Changle, let's go back and rest."
Xu Tian said in a deep voice.
Those Turkic merchants should have entered the city tonight and went to them to buy leather now. If they were not safe, they would think they were short of leather and deliberately raise the price.
Besides, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty basically knew what the Turkish merchants looked like. Their leathers could not be sold for seven or eight days.
At noon the next day, Xu Tiancai woke up from his deep sleep. He was tortured very much that night. Li Changle was happy and got up early in the morning to pay his respects to Li Shimin.
After Xu Tian got up, he washed up first, and after lunch, he slowly went out. When Li Shimin saw that Xu Tian had just gotten up, he went up and asked.
"Tian'er, didn't you say yesterday that there are important things to do today?
Why just get up now?”
Li Shimin asked.
The ancients emphasized working at sunrise and resting at sunset. For example, those who did not get up until noon would be considered lazy.
"Haha, father-in-law, I'm going out to buy some things today. Since I'm buying things, I'm going out to spend money. But the money is all the old man, why go so early?"
Xu Tian said with a smile.
kindness?
After hearing this, Li Shimin not only frowned, but also found that his son-in-law had a different brain circuit than others, that was very different.
The vendors all know one thing: Only by going early can you buy the best goods, but Xu Tian thought that it was the old man who spent money on the money!
Aren’t you afraid that the things you want to buy have been picked up by others?
"God, what are you going to buy?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Back to my father-in-law, I'm going to buy some leather."
Xu Tian originally wanted to buy wool, but thought that in the Tang Dynasty, wool was garbage, and his father-in-law must have persuaded him again, so Xu Tian directly said that he was buying leather.
When Li Shimin heard that Xu Tian was going to buy leather, he immediately said, "Oh! Tian'er! If you said you wanted to buy leather earlier, I would definitely call you up earlier!"
"Do you know that leather is also divided into different levels. Those leather merchants will go to the market early in the morning to wait to buy the best leather."
"When you go now, where is there any good leather?"
When Xu Tian heard what Li Shimin said, he smiled slightly and said, "Father-in-law! Good things are never afraid of being late. When the son-in-law is about to go out, he will not accompany his father-in-law."
Li Shimin originally wanted to go back to Chang'an today, but when he saw Xu Tian's appearance, he was a little worried and said, "Haha! I just happened to have time for my father, so I'll go with you."
"This...well!"
Xu Tian said helplessly.
The two of them came to the market all the way. As soon as they walked in, Xu Tian smelled a very strong smell of sheep. Needless to say, it must be the smell of the Turkic wool.
"Everyone will take a look! Our Turkic leather is here, all of them are good sheepskin!"
"This uncle! You must have heard of our Turkic leather. The quality is absolutely excellent. You won't suffer any loss if you buy it!"
...
In the distance, a group of Turkic people were selling their leather. Xu Tian looked over and saw the leather of hundreds of carriages!
It can be seen that this group of Turks has accumulated a lot of wool. If they had a better reputation, they would definitely make a fortune by selling so many wools from carriages!
"Father-in-law, look, aren't there good leather there?"
Xu Tian pointed to the Turks in the distance and said.
When Li Shimin saw Xu Tian wanting to buy Turkic leather, his face immediately drooped. Xu Tian was able to draw a map of the siege of the Turkic people last time. Logically speaking, he should know a lot about the Turkic people!
