There are many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no shortage of talents. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, even if you are better than Yan Shu and a drunkard, there is nothing to say about the issue of promotion, just to boil up your qualifications.

Even after being a high school champion, you have to start with the local county order. Three years of knowing the county, four years of idle work in Beijing, four years of going out of Beijing and staying in the local area, after more than ten years, what can be done, it depends on the creation.

Lucky, I have the ability to return to Beijing for more than ten years to enter the center, and I can worship the prime minister at the age of fifty; Bad luck, Zhizhou has no limits, just like Wei Jie, stay in the place!

And the road that Zhao Zhen arranged for Tang Yi didn't know how many levels he had jumped.

Thirty-year-old greetings? Have fun?

Tang Yi didn't know that Zhao Zhen not only paved the road for him, but even helped him find his daughter-in-law.

.......

All right.

Zhao Zhen and the two prime ministers' red-faced and white-faced combination punches really knocked Tang Yi unconscious.

This temptation is too great, Tang Yi is a little tempted......

O Minister of Finance! Enter the third division!

If you want to say who is the most beautiful in the Great Song Dynasty, of course, it is the ministers of the political hall, and there is no one.

But....

"Ugh..."

Tang Yi sighed leisurely, "Your Majesty is so loving, the grass people are aware of the five!" However, the more so... The kid is going to Liao Country this time. ”

Wen Yanbo rolled his eyes and said in his heart, why doesn't this kid eat oil and salt?

When Zhao Zhen heard him say this, he couldn't help asking: "Da Lang has to enter Liao, what is the matter?" ”

"For this!" As he spoke, Tang Yi handed over the brocade box in his hand.

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, opened the box and took a look, only to see that the box was not a precious thing.

The only square piece of cloth, a spool of cotton thread, and a pinch of white hair.

......

Zhao Zhen picked up the pinch of white hair and looked at it carefully, and found that it was thicker than cotton wool, but it was also soft.

"Is this....?"

"It's wool." Tang Yi replied in a deep voice.

"Wool?" Zhao Zhen frowned as he handed the white hair in his hand to Fu Bi and the others.

Fu Bi took the wool and looked at it, and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of sheep's hair is this?" Why is it so soft? ”

"Hui Xianggong is just the unmyelinated hair of ordinary small-tailed sheep, which has been processed and degreased, and there is nothing special."

"What is skimming?"

Zhao Zhen vaguely remembered that Cao Jingxiu seemed to have mentioned to him that Tang Dalang had a wool degreasing process, which was regarded as a treasure.

"The surface of the wool is coated with a layer of grease, which not only makes the wool very hard, but also has a bad smell. With the help of some mineral materials, the grass people can wash away these oils, making the wool as soft as cotton wool, which is conducive to spinning and weaving. ”

In this era, even pastoral areas such as Liao and Western Xia could only use wool to make felt and blankets.

Before the advent of wool degreasing technology, the use value of wool was extremely low, and it could even be said to be a garbage-like thing.

However, in Tang Yi's eyes, it is not only a shining copper coin, but also a big killer that can overthrow the country.

This is also one of the few projects that Tang Yi can use existing resources to achieve industrialization.

By reacting with slaked lime, it is easy to obtain the alkali solution for hair washing. Miscanthus and lime are extremely common natural minerals with low cost.

....

Zhao Zhen picked up the small piece of woolen cloth in the box and stroked it carefully. I found that it is slightly thicker than cotton, has an excellent feel, and there are some fine hairs on the surface, which is warm when I look at it.

"Da Lang is going to Da Liao for this kind of wool cloth?"

Liao land sheep, since Tang Yi took out this wool cloth, he naturally set his eyes on the wool of the Liao Dynasty.

"Exactly!"

Wen Yanbo said: "I also raise a large number of sheep in Song Jing, why not develop in my own country, and also let the people who raise sheep have more income?" ”

"The Great Song Dynasty is short of money, why is such a good thing cheaper for the Liao people?" Wen Xianggong shouted in his heart.

Tang Yi smiled bitterly.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty and the two ministers, the grass people's wool degreasing process has been made more than a year ago, but they have not dared to take it out. Even now, the grass people only plan to go to the Liao Dynasty to touch the bottom first. At least for five years, the woolen cloth will not be put out. As for in the Great Song Dynasty.. Xianggong doesn't even have to think about it! ”

"Why is that?" Not only Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, but Zhao Zhen also had a puzzled face.

In their opinion, this is definitely a good thing for the benefit of people's livelihood, why don't they want to take it out? This is not Tang Yi's style, you know, this kid is a million with a flick, and he doesn't blink his eyelids, and he is not a person who cherishes himself at all.

"Let's put it this way, let's talk about the cost of this cloth first."

"The small-tailed sheep can produce five to seven catties of wool every year, and the degreasing only needs miscanthus and lime, so the cost of such a wool cloth is not the cost of wool, and it is less than 100 yuan. Even if it is harvested at a high price, it is barely half of the cotton. ”

"What?" Zhao Zhen stood up directly. "Is such a thick cloth cheaper than cotton?"

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "This is still our big Song Dynasty's small-tailed sheep, with little wool." If it is replaced by Daliao's felt sheep, a sheep can produce ten to twelve catties of good wool a year, and the cost is lower. ”

In this era, there is no chemical fertilizer, and there is no scientific optimization, and the yield of cotton is very low, with a yield of only a few dozen catties per mu, which cannot even reach one-fifth of that of later generations. Therefore, the price of cotton and cloth are very high, cotton is about 35 wen per catty, and cotton cloth is 300 wen per horse.

Wen Yanbo is also convinced, 'Little Uncle' is really not blown out.... In his place, it is a stone egg, and he can sell it for a sky-high price.

Fu Bi didn't care about the monarch or the minister now, walked to Zhao Zhen's case, picked up the woolen cloth and woolen yarn and looked at it. What he was thinking about now was how much he could increase the tax of the imperial court every year if the woolen spinning was returned to the official domain.

Tang Yi knew what they were thinking as soon as they looked at the performance of the three of them. The heart said, you only see the huge profits of wool spinning, but you don't know that there is a huge beast hidden behind it, once it is released, it cannot be controlled, that is, the existence that devours everything.

"Grass people, tell your majesty a story..."

...

"The name of this story is - sheep eat people!"

The story of sheep eating people comes from the later generations of Britain, and the devastating chain reaction caused by the rapid rise of the wool textile industry on agriculture and the whole society.

The huge profits of the wool trade caused the nobles to frantically enclose their land and graze sheep and encroach on the peasants' arable land, so that except for a few nobles who benefited, the common people were almost miserable.

The current Great Song Dynasty is very similar to Britain at that time, with both huge foreign trade and large-scale domestic demand users. Once the woolen industry is released, an even more violent 'enclosure movement' may erupt. When the time comes, the people will return farmland to grazing on a large scale, and it will not be for the benefit of the Great Song Dynasty, but for the disaster.

Before the cotton yield cannot be increased in large quantities, the overwhelming advantage of wool spinning is irreplaceable.

A little wool is definitely a existence that devours everything!

Sheep eat people!

One is not good, it not only wants to eat people, but also eats Da Song!
