Tian Feng asked with a smile on his face, "What does the lord think?" ”

"Tell me about it?"

Zhao Feng nodded: "After the autumn harvest last year, the Huns did not invade and plunder in the south. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we used a lot of grain to exchange bronze artifacts with the Huns."

"I don't know exactly how much of it is."

"But it shouldn't be too small."

"The Huns have food for the winter, so they are not willing to invade the south."

"And this year, because the Huns no longer have a relationship with bronze artifacts, we have not exchanged food with them."

"This will lead to the Huns continuing to invade and plunder south after the harvest this autumn."

"Because if they don't invade and plunder, they will starve to death."

"So I'm going to continue to open new exchange objects!"

Tian Feng was puzzled: "What does this have to do with recruiting 20,000 recruits at a time?" ”

Zhao Feng said with a smile: "The new object of exchange for news is wool that is of little value to the Huns. ”

"And now it's May, and the Huns are about to start shedding their wool."

"It's not known how they used their wool, but apparently most of it was just buried."

Although Zhao Feng didn't know what time the Huns sheared sheep.

But it should be related to entering the hot summer.

Because after entering the summer, the temperature is too hot, if the wool is not sheared, the sheep raised by the Huns may die of heat.

And Zhao Feng jumped from the ordinary people at the bottom to the current high position of the grain protection general and the state assassin history.

But I have never seen Han people wear sweaters and other clothes.

Of course, the fur coat is not counted, it is too expensive and not something that ordinary people can wear.

And with sweaters, there are also obvious differences.

So Zhao Feng planned to buy the wool that the Huns didn't want to make sweaters.

Although I don't know how to make wool yarn, according to the most primitive method, it is enough to roll it into wool thread like hemp rope.

When the yarn is pulled out, will the knitting sweater be far away?

Even if Zhao Feng can't knit sweaters, Zhao Feng knows that he can knit with a stick needle.

There is no technical content in making rod needles, and you can use wood and bamboo.

Tian Feng waved his way: "Enlighten the lord!" ”

"As I understand it."

"The Huns did not have the habit of shearing sheep."

Zhao Feng was puzzled: "If you don't shear the wool, won't the sheep they raise die of heat because the temperature is too high?" ”

Tian Feng said as a matter of course: "If you die of heat, just eat it directly?" ”

"What's so strange?"

"Aren't the sheep raised by the Huns just to be eaten?"

"If you don't kill a batch of sheep, how can there be so much forage on the grassland to feed other cattle, horses and sheep."

"But these dead sheep, they will cut off a layer of wool on the outside and make it into felt, and a layer of wool and sheepskin on the inside, and make it directly into clothes."

"What does the lord want wool for?"

When Zhao Feng heard Tian Feng say this, his heart was half cold: "I want to use wool to make sweaters." ”

"It's hard to say about the southern region, but for the northern region, there must be a lot of sales."

"This gives us one more income!"

"And to make a sweater, you need a lot of people."

"Recruiting the relatives of the recruits in this way, you can let them make sweaters, which is another way to settle them!"

Tian Feng waved his way: "Enlighten the lord!" ”

"I advise the lord to dispel this idea."

"The Huns, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Western Regions and other foreign races have long had the habit of knitting sweaters."

"But because of the wool woven clothes, there is a strange smell, which we Han people are very disgusted."

"So we Han people, we don't wear that stuff at all."

"If the lord really does this, I'm afraid that some of the existing grain stocks will be lost!"

Zhao Feng was speechless when he heard this.

It turns out that the woolen sweater is already available.

It's just that the Han people hate the smell of sheep, so they don't like woolen clothes.

But Zhao Feng can also understand.

After all, even if the Han people eat mutton, they have to put a lot of heavy-tasting ingredients to dilute the smell of mutton.

The Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei and other nomadic peoples are different.

They deal with sheep every day.

I've long been used to the taste.

So they wear sweaters and don't dislike it at all.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "No one has figured out a way to get rid of the odor on the woolen clothes?" ”

"Like spices to cover up odors?"

Tian Feng took a look: "My lord, there is a record in the records of foreign information. ”

"Some people use Western Regions spices to cover up the smell on woolen clothes."

"But first, the spices of the Western Regions are very valuable, and occasionally one or two are made for people of noble status to wear, and it is said in the past."

"Ordinary people, don't count on it."

"Second, even if you use Western Regions spices to cover the odor on your woolen clothes, that's a palliative solution."

"It won't be long before the smell of spices in the Western Regions fades away, and the smell on the woolen jacket will still appear."

"Three, there's a thick layer of grease on the wool."

"It's also a hassle."

"To sum up, so clothing made of wool will not work at all!"

Zhao Feng now knows.

To put it simply, it's a matter of cost.

It is too expensive to use Western spices to cover up the smell on the woolen clothes.

And the time limit is short.

In addition, the oil on the wool is also a problem.

Thinking of grease, Zhao Feng's heart moved.

Grease removal can generally be removed with boiling water, which means that the wool can be boiled again.

There may still be residues, but there shouldn't be much left.

In this way, the odor on the woolen jacket will definitely be greatly reduced.

However, in doing so, it will certainly cause damage to the wool itself.

As for whether it has an impact on the service life of wool or on warmth, Zhao Feng is not clear.

After all, Zhao Feng is not a professional either.

In addition, edible alkali can also remove fat.

Because in the previous life, Zhao Feng's family was rumored to have residues in dish soap when washing dishes, and if the residue encountered high temperatures, it would become carcinogenic.

Therefore, Zhao Feng's family, including many families, use edible alkali to wash dishes.

At the current level, edible alkali can be made.

The steamed buns and steamed buns made by Zhao Feng are all directly fermented, with a slight sour taste, which is neutralized with edible alkali.

However, how much edible alkali should be used to remove the oil on the wool, Zhao Feng can't say for sure.

To put it simply, it's a matter of cost.

Although edible alkali is not as expensive as salt, it is also not cheap.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "In order to reduce the possibility of the Huns going south to plunder this year. ”

"We should also trade grain for some wool."

"Even if the wool is finally made into a sweater, it can't be sold."

"We can also distribute it to ordinary people, or use it as a military uniform."

"If we come up with a way to get rid of the wool odor, we might even make a lot of money from it!"
