Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 34 Sweater
After returning to the academy, Zhang Zongxian thought for a long time, and then asked about the price of Ding Bo's cotton coat.After knowing that a piece of cotton-padded clothes costs a tael of silver at least, I lamented that the life of the people is not easy.

And as the weather gets colder, most of the people will stay at home and eat less in order not to lose energy.Production and life are completed and stopped.

How to keep the people warm from the cold? Cotton is expensive and takes up arable land, so cotton cannot be counted on.Zhang Zongxian suddenly thought of the wool in storage.

If the wool is processed, the wool and the spinning wheel are loaned to the common people, so that the common people will have an extra income. The spun wool can be purchased by Taiping, and the common people can also keep some for their own knitting sweaters.
Then all that remains is what to do with the wool.After thinking about it, Zhang Zongxian felt that he must mobilize everyone's power, and posted a reward in the college. Who would have thought of how to remove the oily smell from the wool and reward him with a hundred taels of silver.

As a result, within a short time after posting it, someone reported that there was a way to solve this problem.

Has anyone made sweaters before?Quickly ask someone to be brought here.

After bringing the man over, it turned out that Miss Su had accepted the reward.Since Huang Shilang was killed that day, Ms. Su stayed in this castle with those girls who had no home. A few days ago, after Zhang Zongxian opened the medical department in the college, Ms. Su went to pay homage to her teacher to study medicine.

"The daughter of the people pays homage to the county lord"

Every time I see Susu girl Zhang Zongxian, I can't help but think of the graceful figure that night. It's a pity that such a beauty is disfigured.Huang Shilang's wife is really damned, when she is caught, she must also taste the taste of disfigurement.

"I didn't expect it to be Miss Su. I don't know how Miss Su can wash off the grease on these wools."

"The county honor has to reward the money first."

"A mere 100 officials will not help you."

"The county venerable, Chun Xiao, left after a moment without looking back, not even willing to keep the money. The county venerable has long lost credibility with Minnv."

Zhang Zongxian blushed when she said this, and wished he could get into the cracks of the ground.Is this being blocked for prostitution?Fortunately, Su'e was not in the fort.

Quickly ordered Ding Bo to take 200 taels of silver and gave it to Miss Su.

Miss Su said after receiving the silver tael:
"Xianzun's ten fingers do not touch the spring water, unlike the children of our poor family who have to work since they were young. It is very simple to remove the grease, just wash it with the saponins and dry it in the air."

Saponins?Why does this thing sound so familiar!By the way, isn't this the soap-making thing mentioned in those novels in the previous life?Plant ash can also be used instead.Plant ash plus animal fat is soap.

Zhang Zongxian remembered it all at once.I really want to slap myself in the face, such a simple thing costs 200 taels of silver for nothing.Miss Su also found an opportunity to ask for money for prostitution.

So distressed!How about going there at night and sleeping back at 100 taels.I thought so in my heart, but Zhang Zongxian couldn't do it anymore to bully a poor disfigured woman.

"It's my official photoshoot, I still want to thank Miss Su."

"The county magistrate has nothing to do and the daughter of the people left first."

"Miss Su, walk slowly." After saying that, Miss Su provocatively flipped the bag containing the silver taels, and walked out with a smile.

Seeing that Miss Su had left, Zhang Zongxian immediately arranged for someone to go to Dongshi to fetch the wool back, and also asked someone to prepare plant ash to test whether this method worked.

At present, [-] catties of wool have been stored in the Dongshi warehouse.

After the wool is taken, people directly soak the wool in the water with plant ash.After observing for a while, some grease came out, but it was so slow.

So they arranged for someone to boil the ashes and put the wool in.Zhang Zongxian asked the maid to watch until the fat on the boiled wool came out before reporting to him.

Zhang Zongxian returned to the front yard to continue teaching.Now there are nearly 400 disciples in total, and now there are ordinary people who send their children to take the exam every day.Breaking through 500 people is only a matter of time.In this way, the original mansion is not enough.

Although the people who originally lived in the fort have been driven out.But there is still an ever-expanding new army crowding out the space inside the fort.

Zhang Zongxian decided to build a new two-story house with floor heating in the fort.All those old houses were bulldozed, and a dormitory that could accommodate a thousand people was built first, and then a large classroom was built, and a large oil lamp was hung on the ceiling of the classroom.Moreover, the entire classroom does not use wood, but is all made of masonry.

After thinking about it, I first drew the planning map, and the left and right were separated by the central axis in the fort.The left side will be used as a college site, and the right side will be used as an army site.Build the academy side first, step by step.

He gave Ding Bo the plan and asked Ding Bo to find Wang's construction and start working quickly.

In the evening, the maids came to report that the grease of the wool had been washed, and Zhang Zongxian asked them to dry the wool for another two days.Come back and report to see if the smell is still there.

Since this plant ash works, then this woolen coat can do it.

It is still better to ask the bank to come forward and order a thousand spinning wheels first, and then loan all the wool to the people, and rent the spinning wheels to the people for three years before giving them to them.The common people used the spun woolen thread to pay back the money bank.

Wool is almost free now, spinning wheels are not expensive, and people have nothing to do at home in winter, basically they don’t need to invest, just pay for labor.Moreover, the wool produced can also be directly woven into sweaters by ordinary people to increase added value.

In this way, the people had extra income, and the yamen also had new commercial taxes to collect from selling woolen sweaters. In this Little Ice Age, the people also had cheap warm clothes.

We have to continue to experiment and make that soap, and use the scented soap to make floral scents to focus on the high-end market.

It's crazy that this thing is not sold in Zhili in the north and south.

I have to make up a good story for this soap, say that this soap is produced in a mysterious valley in the Kunlun Mountains, surrounded by miasma, it is extremely difficult to enter, and it can only be safely entered when the flowers are in full bloom.The valley is full of various flowers and plants.

There is a kind of bee in the valley that collects various nectars, returns to the hive and mixes it with a liquid spit out by the queen bee to form this miraculous effect that can beautify the skin, clean the skin and leave a lingering fragrance.

Zhang Zongxian decided that this story alone was worth ten taels of silver.At that time, if it becomes a tribute during the event, then no more ten taels of silver will be added!Another name from the Western Regions would have to be added by twelve taels.

The more Zhang Zongxian thought about it, the more excited he became, and he decided to draw a place in the fort to produce soap alone.Um!Find some death row production to prevent leaks.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zongxian personally experimented with plant ash the next day after class, and quickly made soap based on the memory of his previous life, but the quality is not good, but it doesn't matter, he can improve it slowly.

He also called Su'e to his side, just like the lovers in the previous life, Zhang Zongxian grabbed Su'e's hand and the two made the first piece of soap together.
