Villager of Daming

Chapter 762 There are many resources and there is no dead end

"Oh~! Is Jiangpu County 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 aren't any particularly high mountains, right? What's the soil like?" Tang He thought for a moment, but wasn't too sure.

Seeing everyone stop using their chopsticks, the head of the village 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, and they produce little milk.

Goats are most suitable to be kept on hillsides. The mutton for our good cashmere clothes comes from goats. Goats have a long milk production cycle, which can last up to half a year.

At the same time, goat milk can also be adapted to a very few babies who are lactose intolerant. If this is not possible, the village has lactase extraction technology and can produce some low-lactose milk powder in small batches.

In the plain area of ​​Jiangpu County, we use steam engine equipment to grow crops, reducing labor costs and liberating the labor force.

The excrement of cattle and sheep is used as fertilizer in plain areas to promote crop growth. Raising cattle and sheep does not delay the increase of crop production. "

Now the officials realized that Jiangpu was so suitable for raising cattle and sheep, the terrain was so good!Yes, goats should be raised on hillsides.

Otherwise, why would there be a music brand called Shanshan Sheep?It’s because they know how to raise goats. The ancients were so awesome!
Several problems were solved at once. Zhu Yuanzhang ate happily. He took a few bites of meat and looked at Hu Weiyong inadvertently.

Hu Weiyong had already 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 by always staying 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 and fought hard to conquer the country, but you jumped out.

When you come out, you will become an official!We compete in the officialdom. You hide behind and push a whole village to the front. You...

"Cashmere clothes are really good, light and warm. Do the sheep we kill for the mutton have cashmere?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt hot when he stopped to rest. He wore 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 I am not a sheep farmer.

The leader was chewing something in his mouth and wanted to speak but couldn't for a while.

A young man from the village said: "Your Majesty, goats in the south have less cashmere. Goats only work hard to grow cashmere when the weather is cold, which is different from wool.

The goats we have here now need to be skinned and combed before being killed, using an iron brush and a pound of cashmere.

If you raise it until spring, it will not only be easier to comb, you can have it without killing the sheep, but you can also 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.

Nowadays, the cashmere of five sheep killed to make a cashmere sweater is quite valuable in terms of labor cost and the cycle time of collecting the cashmere! "

"So complicated? How much is this worth?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the cashmere sweater he was wearing.

His son Zhu Xi took over again: "Father, the cashmere clothes and pants we wear are made by people in Xiaqiu Village, and they are similar to those sold.

A good cashmere sweater sells for [-] guan in a clothing store, and cashmere trousers cost [-] guan. They are no longer in stock.

A batch was made and hung up, and they were immediately bought.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 besides cashmere is also thick. They are usually used to make felts and blankets, but they can also be woven into clothes.

This was how I used to make sweaters. I hired a group of women to make sweaters, and men did the work of washing the wool and degreasing them. ""good!Um!good! "Zhu Yuanzhang kept nodding. His son has learned his skills and will not worry about going to the fiefdom in the future.

"It takes half a year's hard work to put together a family's sweaters and pants. It's 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 a gift from His Majesty. None of his family members had them, so he wanted to buy them all a sweater.

Zhu Yuanzhang's third son, Zhu Fan, was unhappy when he heard this: "How expensive is it? The wool from the north is sent here, and we wash it manually and there is detergent."

Then it is degreased, which also involves artificial and degreasing agents, and then it is dyed, which requires adding dye, spinning and joining the threads, etc.

After a process flow, there are more than ten steps, which one is not labor cost and material cost?
It takes several days for a woman to knit a sweater. In terms of wages, she earns [-] cash in five days. In fact, including benefits, it is equivalent to [-] cash. "

"In a few days, new cashmere sweaters and cashmere pants will be ready, and Your Majesty can give one set to your family."

Li Chang swallowed the food in his mouth, and when he saw what Zhan Tong wanted to say, he quickly interrupted.

"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 went to sleep, while others continued to play.

The foreign children hurried back home. Your Majesty gave you something, so you should get it home quickly and don't lose it.

After another half hour, everyone retreated. It was enough to go out and play for so long. It was 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 goes to the mountain temple, he needs to burn the fire tunnel first and then light the standing stove. He is worried about carbon monoxide poisoning when he sleeps 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? They are usually clothing or food processing.

How many things does Ming Dynasty need internally?Only when the cost of ready-made clothes is lower than the cost of making clothes for people at home, people will be willing to buy them.

Sometimes people don't care about the labor cost. They just do a little bit a day and wear it for their families. For them, this time is not valuable.

We must start with spinning threads, all with advanced machinery or semi-mechanization. The cost for people to spin threads, weave cloth and make clothes by themselves is higher than buying them.

Ceramics in foreign trade should not have too much energy, otherwise they must be controlled if the price is not raised. The same is true for silk, which the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have yet!They were all taken out and exchanged for other things.

There is no problem in importing gemstones and then exporting them after processing, but it does not require many manpower.

The number of ramie increased during intercropping, but it still could not meet the needs of the people throughout the Ming Dynasty. Many families could not afford to make new clothes at all.

Think again, the road is boundless, let everyone take action, don’t just stay still..."

Zhu Wentian muttered while drawing, and he found that the biggest problem was that the land produced insufficient resources.
