Chapter 762: There are many resources and there is no dead end
"Oh, Jiangpu County is suitable for breeding." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the others.
Everyone ""
Xu Da asked Tang He in a low voice, "What was Jiangpu like during the war?"
"There are no particularly high mountains, right?" What's it like?" Tang He thought for a while, but wasn't too sure.
Seeing everyone stop their chopsticks, Li Chang said directly, "The mountains in the northwest of Jiangpu County are very short, and most of the mountains are gentle slopes. The southeast is the Yangtze River alluvial plain, and the land is fertile.
Sheep are not suitable for large-scale breeding in the Jiangnan area because they are afraid of heat in summer. At the same time, they produce little milk.
Goats are most suitable for raising on hillsides. The mutton for our good cashmere clothes comes from goats, and goats produce milk. The cycle is long, up to half a year.
At the same time, goat milk can also be adapted to a very small number of babies who are lactose intolerant. If this is not possible, the village has lactase extraction technology and can produce low-lactose products in small batches. Milk powder.
In the plain areas of Jiangpu County, we use steam engine equipment to grow crops, reducing labor costs and liberating labor.
The manure of cattle and sheep is used as fertilizer in the plain areas to promote crop growth. , Raising cattle and sheep can go hand in hand with increasing crop production.”
Now the officials realized that the Jiangpu area was so suitable for raising cattle and sheep, and the terrain was so perfect that goats should be raised on the hillside.
Otherwise, why would there be a song called hillside goat? It was because they knew how to raise goats. The ancients were so good.
Several problems were solved at once. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and ate a few mouthfuls of meat. He looked at Hu Weiyong inadvertently.
Hu Weiyong had noticed this problem out of the corner of his eye. He pretended that he didn't know. He wanted to resign and stop playing. It would be easy to lose his life if he stayed in Zuo Cheng's position.
The root of everything lies in the master of Xiaqiu Village. He is not a human at all. How can he know everything? Where were you before?
We worked hard to survive and finally fought. When you come down to the country, you jump out.
When you come out, you will be an official. We compete in the officialdom. You hide behind and push a village to the front. You
"Cashmere clothes are really good to wear, light and warm. , does the lamb we eat have cashmere?"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt hot when he stopped to rest. He was wearing cashmere pants and a cashmere sweater, and a duck down jacket.
He pulled open his down jacket, wiped his sweat, and thought of cashmere.
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing. God knows what happened to the cashmere, and he was not a sheep farmer.
Li Chang was chewing something in his mouth and wanted to speak but couldn't for a while.
A young man in the village said, "Your Majesty, the goats in the south have less cashmere. When the weather is cold, the goats work hard to grow cashmere, which is different from wool.
The goats here are now killed. You should also skin and comb them first, use an iron brush and one tael of cashmere.
If you raise them until spring, it will not only be easier to comb, but you can have them without killing the sheep.And you can get more than two taels of cashmere.
In the Northland, cashmere can reach three to four taels, and cashmere clothes are very precious. If you want to get cashmere specifically, you need to select goat breeds and raise them specifically for cashmere.
The cashmere from the five sheep that are being slaughtered now is used to make a cashmere sweater. The labor cost and the cycle time to get the cashmere are very valuable.”
“This is so complicated. How much is it worth?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the cashmere sweater on his body.
His son Zhu Xi then took over, "Father, the cashmere clothes and pants we are wearing are made by people in Xiaqiu Village, and they are similar to those sold. .
A good cashmere sweater sells for 50 guan in a clothing store, and cashmere pants cost 60 guan. They are no longer in stock.
A batch was made and hung up, and it was bought immediately. The other type is clothes made of wool, which are cheap, costing five to six hundred yuan a piece.
Our sheep's wool is thick, and goat's hair is also thick except cashmere. It is usually used to make felts and blankets, but it can also be woven into clothes.
This is how we used to make sweaters. We hired a group of women to make sweaters, and men did the work of washing the wool and degreasing the wool. "
"Okay, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang kept nodding. His son has learned the skills and will not worry about going to the fiefdom in the future.
"It takes a lot of hard work to gather together a family's sweaters and trousers. The money earned in half a year is expensive. ”
Zhan Tong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, looked at the cashmere sweater he was wearing and said that woolen textiles were expensive.
His clothes were given by His Majesty, and none of his family members had them. He thought I bought a sweater for my whole family.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s third son, Zhu Fan, was unhappy when he heard it. “It’s so expensive to send wool from the North. We wash it manually and we also have detergent.”
Then degreasing, which also involves artificial and degreasing agents, and then dyeing, which requires adding dye, spinning, stitching, etc.
After a process flow, there are more than a dozen steps, which one is not the cost of labor and materials
It takes several days for a woman to knit a sweater. According to the labor cost, she has five Earning one hundred cents a day, plus benefits, is actually equivalent to two hundred cents. "
"In a few days, the new cashmere sweaters and cashmere pants will be ready, and your Majesty will be able to give one set to your family. "
Li Chang swallowed the food in his mouth. Seeing what Zhan Tong wanted to say, he quickly interjected.
"It's so troublesome. Five or six hundred yuan is really not expensive. "Zhan Tong said, there is no need to buy a sweater, just wait.
After lunch, some children were sleepy and fell asleep, while others continued to play.
Outside The children hurried back home. Your Majesty gave you something, so take it home quickly and don’t lose it.
After half an hour, everyone will retreat. It’s enough to go out and play for so long. It’s cold outside. .
Zhu Wentian stopped going to the box lunch restaurant and went to Xiaqiu Village to draw drawings at the temple. It was cold inside the mountain temple and there was no heating.
If he went to the mountain temple, he would need it. He burned the fire first and then lit the standing stove. He was worried about carbon monoxide poisoning when he went to bed at night.
I plan to install the heating system next year and occasionally stay at the Shanshen Temple for a night.
At this moment, he is drawing drawings of a sweater knitting machine. Before, he hired a large number of women to work in order to increase the employment population.
Now that the system is gradually improving, the increase in the employed population should not be achieved by wasting labor resources.
You need to arrange more other jobs, and then you will have time to have more children, and you will be paid for the children until you are ten years old or older.
“What other jobs are suitable for women to do are usually in the clothing or food processing industry.
There are several types of ready-made clothing that are needed internally in the Ming Dynasty, which must be better than those of the people themselves. People are willing to buy clothes only if they are made at home.
Sometimes people don’t care about the labor cost. Anyway, they can make a few clothes a day and wear them for their families. For them, this time is not valuable.
Start with spinning, all with advanced machinery or semi-mechanization. The cost for people to spin, weave, and make clothes themselves is higher than buying it.
Foreign trade ceramics do not have too much energy. , otherwise the price must be controlled, and the same is true for silk. People in the Ming Dynasty have not yet used it to exchange for other things.
There is no problem in importing and reprocessing gemstones, but it needs to be exported. There are not many people.
The amount of ramie increased during intercropping, but it still could not meet the needs of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Many people could not afford to make new clothes.
Think about it again, God. There is no end to the road, let everyone take action, don’t just sit still."
Zhu Wentian muttered while drawing, and he found that the biggest problem was that the land produced insufficient resources. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
