People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 434: Making Cotton Cloth

"I don't mean that, I just think you can't let you work for nothing."

Xu Hui refilled Li Zheng with a cup of hot tea, and wanted to say more, but she blushed thinking of those.

Since His Majesty bestowed himself on Li Zheng, it stands to reason that he belongs to Li Zheng.

It is only natural to do things for Li Zheng.

In the future, I and those court ladies will take care of the daily life of Li Zheng and Princess Changle.

It seems that in Li Zheng's eyes, he is not Li Zheng's person.

Thinking of this, I feel a little aggrieved.

Xu Hui kept her mouth shut, and then summoned up her courage to say: "We are members of Chang'an Ling, and we will take care of Her Royal Highness and Chang'an Ling's daily life in the future. We are servants of the son-in-law, and we will do whatever the son-in-law asks us to do. If we accept Isn’t the money of the son-in-law a joke.”

As maids in the palace, it seems that they have a very deep-rooted concept of master and servant.

"So you still don't want to accept the money?"

Xu Hui bowed and said: "We are maids of honor. If the son-in-law marries the princess, he is a royal family. The princess is also a royal family. We serve the royal family. If we take money from the son-in-law, who will we be? In the future, if... ..."

Speaking of this, Xu Hui blushed and lowered her head and twisted the corner of her clothes.

Li Zheng asked doubtfully, "What will happen in the future?"

Xu Hui felt aggrieved and said in a low voice: "In the future, if the son-in-law wants something from us, we will still receive the money from the son-in-law. What kind of people have we become? Aren't we the same as those girls?"

After listening to Xu Hui's words, Li Zheng let out a long sigh.

Finally, I understood what Xu Hui meant. It is only natural for a court lady to serve the royal family.

There has never been a question of whether to pay or not to pay. From the moment their families sent them into the palace, they were people in the palace.

Only Li Shimin can determine their identities.

If Li Shimin was lucky enough to them, they would be able to have a status, which might not even be considered a concubine.

But it's an identity after all.

Ancient women were very sensitive to this identity, and it was very important to them.

Now these women have been given to him by Li Shimin, in other words, these women are the joint property of himself and Li Lizhi.

If I sleep with them in the future, they should be willing.

If the money is collected, won't they be the same as the girls in Pingkangfang in the future?
It was a bit complicated, and Li Zheng clutched his forehead in pain.

In a sense they are part of the family.

Giving them money seems to disrespect them.

After thinking for a while, Li Zheng said: "Well, I won't give you money, I can give you some fabric and satin, so that you can also make clothes for yourself."

Xu Hui bowed and said, "Thank you for the generous gift of Chang'an Order."

Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, not quite understanding the thinking of the ancients.

There are some entanglements, Xu Hui's reminder is right, she has never dealt with court ladies before.

This is the first time that such a question has been considered since time travel.

It is not necessarily right to collect money. For these court ladies, if they collect money, other court ladies will look down upon them.

This is their dignity.

Li Zheng said to Xu Hui: "Take a few court ladies to count all the merchants in Jingyangfang City first."

"Understood, let's do it." Xu Hui left after receiving the words.

Melancholy, so melancholy.

Li Zheng was thinking with a headache, what is wrong with Li Shimin rewarding him, sending so many court ladies.

Speaking of which, it is not wrong to let these maids take care of Li Lizhi's daily life in the future.

Putting away his thoughts, Li Zheng took out Tiangong Kaiwu, which also has records on textile technology.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that people began to use cotton for weaving.

Textile technology has existed since people started making clothes in order to adapt to climate change.

It has been passed down for a long time.

The hand textile industry has also developed over the years.

Today's Datang textile machines are still somewhat backward, and the production efficiency is not high.

And the price of cloth is also high.

Ordinary people weave their own cloth, and those who buy silk and satin can only be afforded by wealthy families.

The textile machines of the Ming Dynasty were very close to modern ones.

The most important thing is that the textile efficiency is higher than the cloth speed.

In the future, the more cotton is planted, the more cotton cloth can be made. Nowadays, linen cloth is the most circulated in Datang.

Ordinary people also wear rough linen, and only the rich and powerful can afford silk.

Li Zheng flipped through the creations of heaven, and the first thing was to make cotton cloth.

The cost of cotton cloth is lower than that of silk, but its texture is much worse than silk.

Much better than linen.

Now that I think about it, the clothes worn by the children in the village will be kept. As the children grow taller and cannot fit the old clothes, the old clothes will be kept for other children to wear.

The clothes of each family have always been worn by children in turn.

With cotton cloth, you don't have to worry about having no clothes to wear in the future.

It's good to be a salted fish with peace of mind.

As for those successful and famous things, it is better to leave them to others.

Making money is the right way, eh!
Cotton cloth made from cotton is another big business.

Thinking about it is another great thing, one step closer to my ideal of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, and retiring before the age of 30.

The hand textile industry of the Ming Dynasty is very close to modern times, and even the hand textile industry of later generations basically uses the spinning wheel of the Ming Dynasty.

Until the industry developed, this traditional hand-woven technology gradually declined.

Let Li Yifu buy a spinning machine from Chang'an, and Li Zheng began to transform it into a spinning wheel that can make cotton cloth.

Li Chunfeng left the customs and returned to Jingyang Village with Yuan Tiangang.

Seeing that Li Zheng was dismantling the loom, Li Chunfeng asked boldly, "Is Li Zheng planning to weave?"

"I'm going to make cotton cloth."

Yuan Tiangang didn't quite understand what cotton cloth Li Zheng was talking about, he just stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is said that Li Zheng knows all kinds of crafts, but I didn't expect that you can even weave cloth."

It seems that Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang are in a good mood.

Li Chunfeng said: "According to what you said, Pindao has sorted out the big data again. As you said, Pindao can't just count but ignore the current changes. Your Majesty is now deciding to add numerology to the imperial examinations." .”

"Good thing." Li Zheng poured tea for the two of them.

"It's true that there are specializations in the art industry. Nowadays, there are few scholars in the Tang Dynasty. If you want to increase the number of scholars in the Central Plains, you can't just encourage them through the imperial examination."

"How do you say this?"

"Reading is useless, but reading is useful, it depends on the specialization in the art field."

Li Chunfeng thought for a while and said: "Reading is useful, so there will be more scholars?"

"That's right, reading, reading all kinds of books, after reading, people can use the knowledge and abilities they have learned in books to do useful things is the most important thing."

"If it is true as you said, the poor Taoist should also write his own Taoism in the book?" Li Chunfeng said.
