Chapter 42 End Use(2/2)
It’s a topic that cannot be avoided.
Although Mu Jianming had seen ancient looms through various media in his previous life, there were dozens of processes in the process from cotton to cloth. It was not just a touch of his upper lip to his lower lip that could surpass the accumulation of hundreds of years of craftsmanship in the textile industry. Precipitation and development.
If that were the case, it would be too magical.
"If we can't weave, what do we do with it?"
Yang Lin was a little confused.
Shen Xiyao looked at the two people in front of her and uttered two words lightly.
"Armor making."
Yang Lin let out a light sigh.
Yang Ke also nodded slightly,
Later.
Yang Ke's eyes suddenly focused on Mu Jianming.
Yang Lin also came back to his senses.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
"White stacks can be made into cotton armor."
That’s right!
He tried every means to get cotton, mainly for making armor.
The second is to provide a little bit of raw materials and technology accumulation for the development of cotton textiles.
As for the incidental solution to the problem of personal warmth, that is no longer important.
"Is this true?"
Yang Ke couldn't believe it. He walked up to Shen Xiyao and stared at this woman who had been admonishing him many times recently.
Mu Jianming nodded seriously.
Don’t blame Yang Ke for losing his composure.
Is it wrong for an emperor to care about the military affairs of the country?
Nothing wrong!
Armor is a matter of national importance.
There are only a few fully armored armies in the whole world, not to mention the Wei State.
These armies are all the trump cards of various countries and are directly in the hands of the emperor.
Taking the Wei State as an example, in the general army, only officers above the rank of captain are equipped with armor, and ordinary soldiers have no armor to wear.
"Isn't armor made of iron, leather, etc.? Why is there still cotton armor?"
Yang Lin asked with some confusion.
Shen Xiyao turned to Yang Lin.
"Yes. The defensive power of iron armor and leather armor is indeed very good. But it is also heavy. Another point is that leather is required to produce iron armor and leather armor. How much can the Wei Dynasty produce in a year? Although the defensive power of cotton armor is not as good as Iron armor and leather armor, but they are lighter. The production of cotton armor is also relatively simple. As long as Hou Qin can send cotton... uh... white stacks over, cotton armor can be made in large quantities."
"It turns out that the defensive power of cotton armor is not as good as iron armor."
Yang Lin sighed with some regret.
"First Prince, what we have to solve now is whether there is any."
"Yes, Xiyao is right. What we have to solve now is the armor problem of ordinary soldiers."
Turning his head, Yang Ke asked again.
"Once Later Qin learns that we are equipped with a large number of cotton armors, they will definitely not sell us Baidie. Moreover, if the cotton armor is easy to make, several countries will follow suit. Later Qin's Baidie will definitely not be short of buyers."
"So, just in case, I asked Li Kuang for Baidie's seeds."
Yang Ke suddenly became interested.
"Oh? Can this white-layered Wei be planted too?"
"Of course you can. However, the land in Wei State is limited. If you plant Baidie, there will be less land for growing food."
Yang Ke walked back and forth several times in the imperial study with his hands behind his back.
"Xiyao, do you have a solution?"
"I don't need to tell you this, Your Majesty should know it too."
"Is there no other option but to expand the territory?"
"have!"
Yang Ke and Yang Lin both looked at Shen Xiyao.
