"What material is this?" In Kang's mansion in Ruzhou City, Mrs. Kang touched the material sent by her son-in-law, and was a little confused!

The Kang family is also a rich family. She has never seen any good materials on the market in recent years. She can find a few pieces of brocade used by the royal family in her private room. This is because Datou has been dowed by her daughter.

But the two she had met in front of her for the first time.

The touch is too soft and smooth, and when you touch it, you feel a kind of gentleness. It is snow-white, as light as nothing, and as soft as silk.

No wonder the daughter's letter specifically mentioned these two pieces of material, which is called cashmere, which is most suitable for making a close-fitting midi. It is very warm and comfortable. The name is really bad, but the objects are really good!

She could only think about how comfortable it would be to make this material into a garment in the underwear.

Judging from Mrs. Kang’s years of experience, if this thing can be put on the market, it will definitely be a big seller!

Kangqiao Nian (well, I finally became famous) sneered, "It's still on the market. Do you know how long it took for this piece of material and how much it cost?"

"My son-in-law started working on it two years ago. He collected cashmere, cleaned it, and tried spinning it into threads and weaving it into the material that felt it now. It took thousands of taels of silver in three years, but it only got a mere ten pieces!"

In his letter to Kangqiao Nian, Zhao Liang mentioned cashmere first, but the words inside did not explain in detail, but Kangqiao Nian could also feel the hardships.

The first thing is to collect cashmere. Just think of it, you can know how difficult it is to collect this thing.

Although there was no concept of cashmere before Cambridge, as the name suggests, he could still guess the real thing.

Although there was no 'cashmere' in China at this time, the concept of duck down and goose down had long existed. Li Shizhen mentioned in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Choose goose belly fuzz as the clothes, the quilt is soft and cold, which is especially good for relieving infant epilepsy."

Kangqiaonian thought of goats from ducks and geese, and immediately understood everything.

First of all, it is difficult to collect the raw materials of this cashmere. Then, you have to comb the miscellaneous, dead hair, broken hair and all hard objects. Aunt Zhao called it plushless, and then clean it and remove the oil and smelly. A goat only has two or three taels of clean velvet.

Then "try to spin the yarn into thread and weave it into the material that feels now." This "try" doesn't know how much hard work and sweat it contains!

Zhao Liang was not aware of cashmere textiles. He only saw the word "wool spinning" in the novel many times. Then he asked the Douniang a little and found that many of the wool spinning mentioned in the novels were nonsense.

Almost all local sheep in China are coarse wool sheep. Not only does the wool yield have a small amount, but the wool quality is poor, so it is not suitable for textiles at all. At least it was not yet developed in modern textile technology.

Therefore, although ancient Chinese textile technology was very developed and was ahead of the world for a long time, it never made any achievements in wool spinning. It only made some carpet felts!

However, England in Europe can successfully stage the "sheep eater" movement! That is because the UK has many high-quality fine wool sheep, not only with high wool production, but also suitable for wool spinning.

But wool textiles are not good, cashmere textiles can be popular in China, as long as someone is willing to do it.

Who said that there are so many goats in China?

Cashmere comes from goats. At its peak in later generations, China's cashmere once accounted for more than 80% of the world's cashmere production.

However, as the efforts to protect the environment in the new century continue to strengthen, China's cashmere production has begun to decline year by year.

If Zhao Liang made cashmere at this time, if it was really popular, it would definitely harm the natural environment, because people in today's era do not know how to protect the environment.

But he didn't need to consider these things. He just needed to consider how this matter would benefit the Zhao family after it became popular. The news would be transmitted to Mongolia, and how it would strengthen its relationship with the inner city!

Therefore, the newly formed cashmere yarn must be wound into one after the second rolling of the two threads, so as to ensure the toughness of the thread, and the tightness of the twisting double also has a huge impact on the finished yarn: the tighter the yarn, the higher the strength, while the looser the yarn is relatively soft. While ensuring the strength of the yarn, it also needs to find a perfect balance point.

These are the hard work that Zhao Liang has obtained after countless time and hard work.

Although there are only two light "try" when it falls on the letter paper, each of these two words really weighs a thousand pounds.

"Half of the ten pieces of material were sent to the capital. You also know that the son-in-law has established a relationship in the capital and has become a good thing now, so don't send it there? If that and the adults can present this material to Master Long Live, hehe..."

Kamhainian's eyes shine with light.

If the son-in-law becomes prosperous, can he be as father-in-law? Do he not feel the recent changes in the Ruzhou government?

If this thing can be fought for by the Emperor Long Live and then open the golden mouth, the Zhao family will make a fortune.

Not to mention spending thousands of taels of silver in three years, it is worth it even if it spending 30,000 taels of silver in ten years!

Then, who would dare to say that Kang Qiaonian would pay half of the Kang family’s family for his daughter…

This son-in-law is worth the price!

...

Just after half past five o'clock, it was still dark outside, and Zhao Liang woke up. It was not that he was full, but because he was still worried about things in his heart.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, it is a time when wealthy families are busy without touching the ground.

It’s okay for ordinary people to visit relatives to pay New Year’s greetings, but there is nothing to hesitate. Is the family’s only the little capital?

But it’s different for big families.

All the people have to handle the right things, from the governor Minglun, a relative of the Zhao family, to all the employees in the Zhao family's industry, such as Songhelou, teahouse, militia, and then to the villagers and neighbors of Dazhaozhuang, even if they are not from the same clan.

In the past few years, the Zhao family has been working together. This year, Kang Guan shared some of this matter, so Zhao Liang was liberated. Using the excuse of giving gifts to Minglun and others, he stayed in Chenzhou City for two days before returning. Wherever he lived, he didn't know what he had.

This year is New Year's Eve, and a ancestral hall is going to be opened to worship ancestors. But when the cold sky gets up, even the self-disciplined person is reluctant, let alone a person like Zhao Liang.

People are already ready, their eyes are still closed and they are lazy. In this winter, the quilt is so warm.

He subconsciously reached out and took a hand, wanting to see if Kang Wan had kicked the quilt again, and the duck down quilt filled with goose down was very light and warm. However, Kang Wan was very angry since she was a child, and the ground dragon burned in the house. He often unconsciously kicked the quilt open or stretched out his legs at night.

Zhao Liangxiang helped his wife cover her quilt and got up again, but he was empty, and there was no warm feeling around him.
