The strongest Luo Chengzhi swept the world

Chapter 673 Cotton and Wool Textile (Second update, please subscribe)

Luo Cheng could see the reaction of Huba and others.

But he was also happy to see that everyone valued this thing so much, after all, it was all caused by him.

The development of science and technology is not a one-time event, but requires long-term persistence.If a group of scientific researchers can be cultivated, the benefits for the development of Daxia are self-evident.

After settling this matter, Luo Cheng returned the dominance to Huba and the others.If the steam engine can be mass-produced, many of Luo Cheng's plans can be implemented.

Whether it is mining or automation of many industries, the cost of manpower is reduced.At the same time, more free labor can be invested in other jobs to promote the development of Daxia.

With the special promotion of the imperial court after the unification, potatoes have long been planted in the north and south of Daxia.Even if the environment is limited and the output is limited, it is much better than before.

It can be said that today's Great Xia is countless times better than the previous dynasty, at least everyone can eat enough.They will not die from hunger, nor will they cause chaos due to famine.

Even in the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the people's life may not be easy, because in the event of a disaster, Emperor Wen was unwilling to take out the grain in the warehouse, and eventually left it to the various anti-kings.

This frugal character is sometimes a good thing, but more often it is a bad thing.If the people's lives cannot be stabilized, how can the world be stabilized?

As long as the people's hearts can be stabilized, even if Luo Cheng leads troops to fight in all directions again and again, there is no problem.The initiative is in the hands of the imperial court, so there is no room for local forces to cause chaos.

After solving the problem in the workshop, Luo Cheng felt relieved.

Seeing that Huba and others were working again, Luo Cheng also left.

……

Since the pacification of the Turks, the relationship between the two sides has become closer.There is even a lot of trade, the cattle and sheep on the grassland are sold into Daxia, and the silk, porcelain and tea of ​​Daxia are exported.

In fact, with the opening of trade routes, Father Hu had already sold these items to the Western Regions.Whether it is the original silk, or Yanyun specialties such as heartbroken wine, they are all very popular.

On the grasslands, cattle and sheep are common goods, in addition to that, there is also a large amount of wool that is also considered a commodity.These things have entered Daxia with commercial trade, including Xiajing City.

It was precisely because Luo Cheng saw it with his own eyes that he had a whim.

There are a lot of wool, but not many can really play a role, because today's textile technology can't handle wool at all.It can be said that the conditions are limited, but it is still a pity.

Since ancient times, China's silk weaving industry has been extremely developed. Silk is an extremely rare luxury no matter in the Western Regions or the Mediterranean region. No one can surpass China in this regard.

If he can change this situation by himself, and improve the people's life style while avoiding the waste of resources, it will be a good thing, Luo Cheng deeply believes.

In addition to wool, Luo Cheng also thought of cotton cloth, which can be seen everywhere in the future, but now it seems very rare.It's not that there is no cotton, it's just that the technology is not enough.

A long time ago, Huaxia had a history of growing cotton, but due to technical limitations, there was no real development.After knowing the Tang Dynasty, it began to enter people's field of vision.

The most well-known to future generations is the improvement of textile technology by Huang Daopo in the Yuan Dynasty.The efficiency of cotton weaving has been greatly improved, and it has also allowed it to enter thousands of households, and even replaced the status of hemp to a certain extent.

You must know that hemp has been extremely important since ancient times, because silk is too expensive and not everyone can afford it.Most people are using linen as clothing.

Therefore, Luo Cheng's goal is this, and he must find a way to integrate the cotton and wool textile technology.In addition to improving life, it can also promote technological innovation and promote social development.

If the cotton and wool textile technology appears, then the previous silk textile craftsmen cannot continue to stick to it.They must also improve and improve, otherwise they will fall behind others?

After making the decision, Luo Cheng called Hu's father and asked him to find a group of textile craftsmen.Although the silk weaving industry in the north is not too developed, it is still no problem to find some craftsmen.

Today's Father Hu is no longer the businessman he was before. After the founding of the Great Xia, he had already entered the court as an official.It's just that management is still closely related to business and has a lot of power.

Hu's father is a person who knows how to advance and retreat. Although he didn't know what Luo Cheng wanted this thing for, he didn't violate it, but honestly went to find someone for Luo Cheng.

It took more than a day for Hu's father to complete the task. This speed is certainly satisfactory.In fact, Luo Cheng also took advantage of this time to make some tools.

If you want to weave cotton and wool, you must use some special tools.There is no doubt that Luo Cheng's desired effect can only be achieved by using reasonable techniques.

In fact, the technology of the textile industry has been stuck on handwork for a long time.It even consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, which is naturally inefficient and superimposed layer upon layer.

Luo Cheng was obviously powerless in wanting to make a fully automatic machine. After all, the steam engine was only invented, and it would be impossible to be too ambitious.Luo Cheng is not prepared to do this either.

In fact, the steam engine is only one of the most initial power sources, and the conversion rate is extremely low.But Luo Cheng couldn't help it, he wanted to get the internal combustion engine out, but he didn't allow it due to his strength.

Because these things not only need technical support, but also basic matching.Even the steel is not up to standard, so how to manufacture these higher precision things has to be done slowly.

The existence of cotton does have its advantages, and the same is true for wool spinning.It is not to say who is strong and who is weak, but that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Silk has the benefits of silk, cotton has the benefits of cotton, and so does wool.

Anyway, things have been developed, and the technology is already there, so it doesn't take much effort for the craftsmen to make it.The reason why Luo Cheng asked Hu's father to summon textile craftsmen was for experimentation and for dissemination.

Compared with steam engines, these technologies are undoubtedly simple, so Luo Cheng did not spend much time.After all, the predecessors have verified it, and Luo Cheng is just adding more experiments.

In the workshop, the summoned weaving craftsmen looked at Luo Cheng with a little panic.After all, in today's world, people's rank is quite obvious, how dare they surpass it?

In fact, this is also a manifestation of China's official position. Everyone is afraid of power, so naturally they desire power.If you can enter the officialdom, the situation will be very different.

However, Luo Cheng did not act too domineering, he was very calm, looked at everyone and said: "You are all weaving craftsmen, have you heard of wool and cotton?"

Naturally, everyone had heard of these two things, so they nodded hesitantly.

Luo Cheng smiled slightly and said, "That's good. Do you know how to weave cotton and wool?"

Speaking of this, everyone seemed a little suspicious, after all, they were all experienced textile craftsmen.If cotton and wool could really be spun, how had they never heard of it?
Seeing everyone's surprise, Luo Cheng didn't care, he waved his hand lightly and said: "It's okay, I summoned you here today because I got the method of weaving cotton and wool, and I want you to have a try."

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, the craftsmen were relieved. It seemed that Luo Cheng didn't plan to trouble them, which was a good thing.

As for the method of experimenting with weaving, it is not a big problem, as long as they cooperate.
