I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 90, Madman Fu
And Xu Wei didn't realize that Zhen An had agreed to see Xu Wei's idea at all, and continued to seduce: "In addition to sweaters, Ma Yi also wove a woolen cloth out of wool, which is not only much thicker than linen, but also silky." It is much cheaper, especially for the people in the north. As long as the shopkeeper can produce grain, I will give you a share of a piece of cloth if you bring a stone of grain. The more grain you bring, the more cloth you will have. many!"

After speaking, Xu Wei asked his subordinates to take out the wool cloth for the experiment and show it to Zhen An.

Now in the whole Han people, the poor use linen to make clothes, and the rich use silk to make clothes. Cotton cloth is not available in this era, because in this era cotton is only an ornamental plant, and flowers are used in the court. I don't know if it has leaked out to the public.

So in this era, textiles are not only crude but also very valuable, and can even be used instead of money. When Xu Wei said that wool can be woven, it was like telling Zhen An that he had picked up a money printing machine, and he instantly regained his energy.

The process of weaving woolen cloth is not complicated. The looms in this world can be used directly. The difficulty is to weave sheep wool. Sweaters can be made with thick wool, which is even more cold and warm!

But to weave wool into woolen cloth, the woolen thread needs to be spun very finely and densely, at least not much thicker than cotton thread. Xu Wei specially made an iron brush to comb the woolen sheep, which can make the wool fluffy It is also straight, so that when we spin the thread, we can pull out very long and continuous fibers. This kind of wool can be spun into wool thread that is similar to cotton thread. Now, when the weather gets warmer, the female knitters are used to weave woolen cloth.Because he also knows that this winter will last for a few months at most, and the weather will be hot, and woolen sweaters will not be easy to sell. Naturally, new flagship products will be launched.

A bolt of snow-white woolen cloth was delivered to Zhen An. Zhen An stroked the woolen cloth in surprise. It was compact and fine, not as sticky as linen, and not as thin as silk. It was simply the best item for making clothes.

Zhen An asked in surprise: "What is the price of such a piece of cloth, and how much can Qu Shuai provide?"

Xu Wei smiled and said: "Your price will not exceed 500 yuan per piece of cloth. When I subsidize the cost of helping you transport food, I can't control how much you sell. As for the amount of cloth, because of my department in winter Everyone is busy producing woolen sweaters, so the output is not high, but after the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, I can order 1 pieces for you every month."

"1 pieces is too little. Dahan consumes more than 2000 million pieces of silk and linen every year. Xu Shuai, the price of your woolen cloth is a little more expensive than linen. It can completely replace linen. It is a market worth tens of millions. , 1 bolts of woolen cloth are too little."

Xu Wei said with a smile: "It's easy to ask for more woolen cloth. I'll give you as much woolen cloth as you can transport food over. I'm handsome! But I've made it clear in advance that I will announce this news to everyone Mayi's caravan, if the shopkeeper arrives late, we can only wait in line, after all, our wool cloth production is limited!"

Zhen An thought for a while and said: "The old man must find a way to transport grain to Mayi, Qu Shuai will save 10 grains for me first!"

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll sell sweaters first, and woolen cloth will be in the future!"

But Zhen An was very anxious. With wool cloth as a competitive product, Zhen An also felt that he could use his family's relationship to do this food business.

Zhen An Dayi said awe-inspiringly: "Qu Shuai and I are friends, but Qu Shuai is in trouble, of course I will find a way to help."

This change is too fast!

Xu Wei bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Zhen An said: "This old man wants to thank Lei Gong Qu Shuai for giving us a bite to eat. This is too important for the current Zhen family."

After the business negotiation is over, Xu Wei asked someone to prepare a table of delicious dishes for Zhen An!

After drinking for three rounds, Zhen An kept complaining to Xu Wei, saying that the life of their Zhen family is sad now!

Xu Wei asked curiously: "Now there are capable officials like Fu Bian in Jizhou. It is said that Jizhou is not closed at night. It is a peaceful and peaceful scene. What will happen to the Zhen family?"

Zhen An sighed and said: "This Fu Bian is a lunatic. He has already ignored everything in order to resettle the refugees. My Zhen family only has tens of thousands of acres of land that has not been taxed. He actually said that it is unowned land and directly distributed it to the refugees. We asked him to argue, but he took out the money and food book himself, saying that the land really belongs to our family and we have to pay back taxes for a full 100 years, which has exceeded the purchase price of this land. Who will pay for it? You can afford it! The entire officialdom in Jizhou has been complained by Fu Biannong!"

"Furthermore, the surviving members of other noble families wanted to take back their own fields, but Fu Bian refused to agree with anything. He said that the owners of these lands were unknown, and he had to find out before handing them over to them, and his standard was to accept them according to the imperial court As for the tax standard, only those who have tax certificates from the imperial court can prove that it is your land, and those who have not paid taxes are all unclaimed land, so he gave all these lands to the common people!"

"Who hasn't hidden a few acres of land these days, this lunatic Fu is so strict that he wants to make an enemy of the entire powerful family!"

After finishing speaking, he also looked at Xu Wei, the handsome Qu next to him also made the whole family of Jizhou gnash their teeth with hatred.If it weren't for the crowbar he made, the dock of the elite clan would not be broken like a piece of paper.

Xu Wei smiled, but thought in his heart, 'Your land is too big'.

Although Fu Bian wanted to do something to delay the doomsday of the Eastern Han court, the officialdom of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was corrupt. What's the use of relying on Qingtian alone? After he left, everything would not return to normal, let alone the biggest corrupt official in the court. It should be Emperor Ling, so Fu Bian dared to kill Emperor Ling!

With the existence of such a pig teammate, Xu Wei is not optimistic about Fu Bian's approach. His reformism is destined not to be forgiven by the powerful and powerful, and whether he has organized the power of the people to suppress the powerful and powerful? The doomed ending, in this era, if you want to reform, you don't want to be like Wang Anshi. Even if you fail, you will be demoted. If you fail here, you will lose your life.

Not to mention that the contradictions between the big Han have become so intense that the common people rebelled. In the words of political books, "the class contradictions have reached the point where they cannot be reconciled." up.Now either the common people have completely succeeded in rebelling, like Liu Bang and others, there are a group of commoner generals who understand the folks to reduce conflicts, or it is the same as the original history, the power of the nobles is too strong, and the Yellow Turban Army can only become history. Embellishment, a group of elites and nobles vie for power and profit, and the final victor even oppresses the common people more violently. The common people continue to accumulate anger and wait for the next outbreak.
