Da Qin: Comparing his sons, Ying Zheng was sour.

【After Qin Wang Yingzheng, Xu Zi, Xiang Liji and others listened to what Prince Fusu said about wool and how to spin wool into wool thread for use, they all fell into silence and thought.】

【After all, before Prince Fusu proposed spinning wool into wool, he had never heard of the idea that wool could be spun into thread.】

【But what Prince Fusu said sounds very feasible.】

【So after thinking about it for a while, he decided that it would be better to take action than to act. He would try it out and see if it was feasible. Xu Zi also raised his head and looked at King Qin Ying Zheng and Prince Fusu and said:"Your Majesty, Your Highness, why don't we go back to the Animal Husbandry Department first?"】

【After all, only the Department of Animal Husbandry keeps a lot of sheep and has a lot of wool that can be tested and used.】

【King Qin Yingzheng nodded directly. He naturally knew how much significance it would have to Qin if wool could really be made into wool and woven into clothes.】

【What this brings is a real hard improvement in basic national strength!】

【If Qin's basic national strength can be further improved, it will become easier and more certain for Qin to destroy the six countries.】

【So even if it was just for this possibility, King Qin Yingzheng had to go and see for himself whether the wool could really be used to make wool and weave it into clothing.】

【As for Prince Fusu, it goes without saying that the idea of spinning wool into wool was proposed by him.】

【So how could Prince Fusu not go and take a look in person to verify whether his idea is feasible?】

【Since King Qin Yingzheng and Prince Fusu both had this idea, naturally there would be no room for opposition from others.】

【So a large group of people immediately turned around and took the carriage back to the previous Animal Husbandry Department.】

【The farmer's boy in charge of the Animal Husbandry Department was also shocked and excited after seeing the people returning and hearing Xu Zi's retelling of Prince Fusu's idea of spinning wool into wool.】

【Dang even took everyone and went straight to the sheep farm again】

【The number of sheep raised in the sheep farm of the Department of Animal Husbandry is more or less, about three hundred.】

【Immediately, Xu Zi, Xiang Liji and others summoned a large number of farmers' children and Mohist children, and then they all caught more than a hundred sheep.】

【Fortunately, the temperament of these sheep has been domesticated and docile due to being raised. They are not wild goats, so even if they are held and fixed, there is basically no resistance.】

【Then a group of Mohist disciples took scissors and began to shear the sheep's wool.】

【Although the movements were relatively unfamiliar at first, when it came to the use of instruments, the Mohist disciples almost seemed to have a specialization per person.】

【In just a few moments, I initially mastered some tips on shearing sheep.】

【After half an hour, the movements on my hands gradually became more proficient.】

【An hour later, the scissors were flying in the hands of all the Mohist disciples.】

【A large amount of wool is sheared from each sheep and then piled together】

【Until the sunset, the wool of almost three hundred sheep was sheared, and then piled into piles of wool hills several feet high.】

【It was obvious that the task of spinning wool into wool could not be completed today, so Prince Fusu asked a group of farmers and Mohists to go back and rest first, and then continue tomorrow.】

【And King Qin Yingzheng, who originally returned to Zhangtai Palace after visiting the Sixth Department of the Prince today, also continued to stay.】

【Then let Zhao Gao continue to move the accumulated government affairs from Zhangtai Palace to Shanglinyuan for handling as before.】

【Even when some ministers discussed matters that were unavoidable, King Qin Yingzheng asked them to come to Shanglinyuan to discuss matters.】

【This made some ministers even couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, wondering if King Qin Yingzheng thought that the environment in Shanglin Garden was better and was planning to move government affairs to Shanglin Garden.】

【As for these whispers, King Qin Yingzheng naturally didn't know about them, and he didn't even care.】

【King Qin Yingzheng directly moved the government affairs to the Animal Husbandry Department temporarily. While handling the government affairs, he looked up from time to time to see the progress of the farmers' and Mohists' wool processing.】

【Although Prince Fusu said that wool can be made into wool, it seems very feasible.】

【But in fact, a group of farmers and Mohists also encountered some troubles when processing wool.】

【For example, the various greases and impurities attached to wool】

【Because wool is attached to the sheep's body for a long time, over time, the wool is also attached to lanolin, sheep sweat, sand, feces, grass leaves, grass stalks, grass seeds and other messy things.】

【Although some of the impurities are directly soluble in water, there are still a considerable number of impurities that are insoluble in water.】

【Therefore, even after washing with clean water several times, there are still impurities such as grease and oil.】

【Impurities such as oil and grease make the wool bond and tangle together, making it impossible to completely clean the impurities such as sand, feces, grass blades, grass stalks, and grass seeds.】

【This problem made a group of farmers and Mohists think about it for a long time, but no suitable solution was found.】

【But this is normal. After all, no one has really processed wool before, so naturally no one knows how to quickly remove the grease and other impurities attached to wool.】

【Even a group of farmers' and Mohists' children were prepared to spend ten days and a half using exhaustive testing methods to prepare for every possible method they could think of to remove wool grease and other impurities.】

【However, before a group of farmers and Mohists could start their exhaustive testing methods, Prince Fusu, who was holding a little raccoon slave and came to watch the progress of their wool processing, looked at his father who was handling government affairs.】

【Then Prince Fusu pointed to the brush held by his father and asked:"The hair on the brush should be similar to wool, right?"】

【"How to remove grease and other impurities from the brush?"】

【"The same method that can remove grease and other impurities from a brush should also be able to remove grease and other impurities that adhere to wool."】

【As soon as these words came out, Xu Zi, Xiangli Ji and other farm children and Mohist children were all stunned.】

【This is probably the inertia of thinking, or it’s the darkness under the light.】

【They did not have any experience in dealing with impurities such as grease attached to wool before, so they treated wool as a new thing.】

【But after Prince Fusu said this, Xu Zi, Xiangli Ji and others immediately turned around and came.】

【They have no experience in how to deal with oil and other impurities attached to wool.】

【But they are very experienced in how to deal with the grease and other impurities attached to the hair used in brushes.】

【After all, the hairs used in current brushes are basically collected from rabbits, wolves, etc.】

【The hair on these livestock also has the same problems as grease, sand, excrement, grass and other impurities that were encountered when the wool was just cleaned.】

【And these problems have been solved by our ancestors in the past.】

【When a farmer's boy found limestone, crushed it into powder, and finally blended it into the water】

【Then, the wool that could not be thoroughly cleaned before to remove grease and other impurities is also thrown into the water and stirred repeatedly to clean.】

【Then after a few hours, fish it out and finally rinse it with clean water.】

【This time, the wool, which originally contained a lot of grease and other impurities, was cleaned cleanly.】

【After cleaning, it was spread out and dried in the sun. This process took about two days.】

【However, after cleaning and drying, the cotton is still in clumps and pieces and cannot be directly used for textiles.】

【So a group of farmers and Mohists used combs to comb the wool and remove the forked and lumpy parts of the wool.】

【After combing it, in order to make it easier to weave, a group of Mohist disciples also made reference to the strings used to play the piano and imitated the strings used to play the wool.】

【After the wool is further loosened by strumming the strings into a loose state of wool threads, at this step, it is actually no different from the silk threads and hemp threads that were woven in the past.】

【Then everyone took the preliminarily processed wool back to the Textile Department, and then handed it over to a group of spinners for spinning.】

【And a group of spinners also stepped on the foot-operated looms, quickly completing tasks such as woolen spinning, fine spinning, and twisting.】

【Finally, seven days have passed since Prince Fusu proposed the idea of spinning wool into wool. The first batch of true woolen sweaters and woolen fabrics appeared in the world.】

【King Yingzheng of Qin, Prince Fusu, Xu Zi, Xiangliji, and a group of farmers' and Mohists' children who participated were the first batch of woolen sweaters.】

【"It feels a bit stiff when worn on the body, not as good as silk, but much better than linen!"】

【Prince Fusu wore clothes made of wool. He turned around a few times and moved a little. He felt the feeling of the wool clothes sticking to his body and expressed his feelings about wearing them.】

【"thick! Clothes woven from wool are thicker than clothes woven from silk and linen, and are also much warmer!"】

【"One woolen sweater may be worth several layers of linen and silk"】

【King Qin Yingzheng closed his eyes slightly, carefully feeling the warmth brought by wearing the woolen sweater, and then said with some surprise】

【Although woolen sweaters are not as delicate as silk in terms of wearing experience,】

【But when it comes to the ability to keep warm, it is far better than linen or silk.】

【For this reason alone, woolen clothing is not superior to silk, but at least it is far superior to linen.】

【In addition, making wool thread is less difficult than making twine, and the raw materials for wool thread are easier to obtain than twine. You can just shear the wool directly from the sheep.】

【This is much more convenient than growing hemp.】

【Even the cost of wool thread is lower than that of hemp thread!】

【After all, before today, wool was considered useless and worthless waste in everyone's eyes!】

·········Asking for flowers 0········

【If wool thread is really promoted, wool thread may not be able to beat silk thread, but hemp thread can definitely be hung up and beaten!】

·········Asking for flowers 0········

【"From today on, in addition to silk thread and hemp thread, the world will officially add wool thread!"】

【"Similarly, in the future, the common people in Guizhou will be able to wear sweaters and woolen quilts in addition to silk and linen to keep them warm and cold!"】

【"Coupled with the previously improved columbine, curved shaft plow and pedal loom, from now on, the food and clothing of the people in Guizhou will be very different!"】

【"Let everyone in Guizhou Province have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. Maybe it can be done!"】

【Xiangliji touched the warm sweater on his body and said with great emotion】

【Among the people present, the most excited ones were Xu Zi and other farm boys.】

【After all, the ideal goal of the farmers is to ensure that everyone in Guizhou can have enough food and clothing.】

【But now in the State of Qin, with the strong support and research of Prince Fusu, their farmers have truly seen the possibility of achieving this ideal goal.】

【How could Xu Zi and other farmers not be excited about this?】

【Therefore, Xu Zi excitedly bowed to King Qin Ying Zheng and said:"I beg your majesty to attack the four barbarians!"】

【After confirming that wool can be spun into wool and used to weave clothes, Xu Zidang set his sights on Siyi.】

【There is no way, who made Qin State, and even the other countries in the Central Plains, not raise sheep very much?】

【If you don’t raise sheep, then naturally there won’t be a lot of wool that can be sheared, spun into wool, or used to make clothes.】

【Can Xu Zi endure this?】

【Of course I can't bear it!】

【Without wool, how could their farmers achieve their ideal goal of keeping everyone fed and clothed in the world!】....................................

【Therefore, we must cut down the four barbarians and seize the sheep raised by the four barbarians!】

【Oh, and there are cattle. The cattle raised by Siyi can also assist in farming!】

【There are also horses. War horses have always been in short supply.】

【I almost forgot, there are donkeys. Donkeys are also livestock that the people in Guizhou are in short supply.】

【However, the Qin State is so in short supply of cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys, but Sebari has so many cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys!】

【Does this make sense?】

【Anyway, Xu Zi thinks it’s unjustifiable!】

【Why do Si Yi have so many cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys? These cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys should all belong to the Qin State, and more importantly, they must belong to the people of the Qin State in Guizhou!】

【So Your Majesty, let’s go fight Sei!】

【Go and snatch back all the cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys from Siyi!】

【Don’t worry about food and grass. We farmers will definitely work hard to farm for Your Majesty and grow a lot of food for Your Majesty and the Qin State!】

【In short, at this moment, Xu Zi and other farmers' children instantly became the most enthusiastic group of people in the Qin State to start a war.】

【The meaning of Xu Zi's words was naturally understood by King Qin Yingzheng. Even King Yingzheng of Qin was also very covetous of the cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys in Siyi's hands.】

【If possible, King Qin Yingzheng would like to snatch back all the cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys raised by Siyi than Xu Zi and others.】

【However, the Qin State has not yet unified the six countries. If it starts a war with the barbarians at this time, it will easily give the other six countries an opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.】

【At the same time, it is also easy for Qin to fall into a situation where it is attacked from both sides.】

【It is not a suitable time to start a war with the four barbarians at this time.】

【Just when King Qin Yingzheng was about to find some reason to appease Xu Zi who was eager to snatch cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys from Seyi, Prince Fusu on the side also said:"Master Xu, there is no need to do this for now."】

【Immediately, everyone present focused their attention on Prince Fusu.】

【Prince Fusu also smiled and said:"Wool is of great use to us, but it does not mean that it is also of great use to the barbarians."】

【"At present, wool is no different from Siyi in the eyes of Siyi. If we want it, we can probably buy a large amount of wool from Siyi as long as we pay a little profit."】

【"Compared with sending a large army to conquer, the cost should be smaller and the benefits obtained should be larger."】

【"So in the early stage, we might as well buy cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys, and wool from Siyi through trading."】

【"After the barbarians are unwilling to sell their cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys and wool to us, it will not be too late for Qin to send a large army to attack them."】

【Prince Fusu's words also made King Qin Yingzheng nod his head approvingly.】

【And Xu Zi calmed down again after hearing Prince Fusu's words.】

【After all, the fundamental purpose of his admonishment to conquer the barbarians was to obtain cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys and wool.】

【If the goal can be achieved through buying from merchants, then that would be the best.】

【Therefore, Xu Zi also bowed to King Yingzheng of Qin and Prince Fusu and said:"What your Highness said is reasonable, but I am a humble minister who didn't think well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.""】

【Prince Fusu shook his head and said,"Master Xu is also very patriotic, so what's the crime?""】88.
