Zhao Han immediately showed excitement and restlessness towards Mao Geng's proposal, and even had the urge to report to the court immediately.

But after all, Zhao Han has been with Mao Geng for so long, and has developed a rigorous attitude:

"Mao Geng, can Hokkaido really raise horses? We must pay attention to science when making decisions. You advocate scientific knowledge. You can't do anything wrong. Raising horses, especially the matter of shepherding war horses. This matter is very important, so you must be careful. Are you sure that Hokkaido really raises horses? I'm talking about shepherding war horses."

The scientific attitude that Mao Geng emphasized tirelessly in various occasions not only affected Jiang Ang and other Mao disciples, but also affected Zhao Han. Zhao Han and Jiang Ang built ships together. Over time, they also had a little scientific attitude. Today, Zhao Han often talks about scientific attitude.

The Song Dynasty lost a large area of ​​land in the north and no longer had the land to shed horses. This has always been a heart-wrenching problem in the Song Dynasty. Without excellent war horses, it would be easy to succeed in the Northern Expedition. If a super shedding farm can be opened overseas, it can be regarded as a magical achievement.

It is obvious that Zhao Han is a little mature. Despite his impulsiveness, he still does not forget to ask Mao Geng to demonstrate the feasibility of raising horses in Hokkaido. It seems to be feasible in terms of economics. Zhao Han said that the technical feasibility must also be demonstrated.

Mao Geng thought to himself that Hokkaido was an important base for Japanese military horses in the future. The Oriental Horse was successfully bred in Hokkaido. Moreover, until the 21st century, Hokkaido was still a world-famous center and a world-famous horse racing place.

However, the Japanese horse breed of this era is not worth boasting about. The best horse breed is the Mongolian-derived horse, called the Kiso horse.

Mao Geng bit his teeth and searched the knowledge of the Beihai in his mind, so he had to bite the bullet and introduce the climate of Hokkaido:

"The climate in Hokkaido is similar to that in Liaodong. After a while, it will be the coldest season. Even at the northernmost end of Hokkaido, the lowest temperature is only minus 30 degrees Celsius. I remember that when Huo Qubing sealed Wolf Juxu, Wolf Juxu Mountain was colder than the coldest place in Hokkaido. Wolf Juxu Mountain is a good place to raise horses. It can be seen that from the climate, it can be determined that Hokkaido is a good place to shed horses."

Mao Geng had planned to travel to Hokkaido in his previous life and had a good understanding of the climate of Hokkaido. The lowest temperature in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, has never been lower than minus fifteen degrees. That is the lowest temperature recorded at night, and it should not be lower than minus ten degrees during the day. However, this era is a small ice age, and the temperature is really hard to say. However, the daytime temperature of minus six degrees that Hokkaido reported the previous time seems to be 30 degrees lower than 30 degrees lower. Wolf Juxu Mountain is in Mongolia, and no matter how cold Hokkaido is, it is warmer than Mongolia. No one here knows what minus 30 degrees lower is, but Hokkaido is not as cold as Wolf Juxu Mountain, which is certain.

In fact, the temperature is second, and the main thing is to have good horse breeds. Mao Geng asked:

"Mr. Han, I asked you to buy the ** from Dashi merchant last time. I don't know when it will arrive."

"Just nearly ten minutes, I heard the guy from Puqu brag about how amazing the **s there are on their side. I want to see what is strange about the horses they transported!"

Mao Geng thought to himself, this does not require you to verify it. As long as they do not use inferior products as inferior products as good products, the Arabian products they shipped will be impeccable. The famous Oriental Horses in later generations are the result of the majestic Arabian horses and Mongolian-born horses.

When Zhao Yan heard this, he immediately realized something:

"You mean, what kind of Arabian horse is used for breeding? Then, the horse after breeding can surpass the war horses of the Jin Kingdom, right?"

"Congratulations on your answer right!"

"Since it's right, then you have to take out some gifts!"

Mao Gengxin said that bicycles are for free, Zhongshan suit - no! He changed it to be a riding suit, and riding suit is for free, so what else can he give it!

"When the whale liver oil is transported back from Hokkaido, I will give the best whale liver oil to the Duke. How about it?"

Whale liver oil is a high-end tonic. Mao Geng felt that giving Zhao Han was enough to express his feelings. However, Zhao Han shook his head and said:

"Mao Geng, your sister-in-law thinks that my boat is very powerful and the workmanship is much better than that of a hand-made tailor. Your sister-in-law thinks you are capable and should design a kind of women's clothing. How about it? Just take silk, silk, silk and hemp from me, and just send two sets of women's clothing in a few days! Remember to use buttons, not belts."

What else can Mao Geng say? The Duke of the Kingdom asked for two sets of women's clothing, isn't it satisfying!

"Duke, it's nothing if you wear this riding suit when riding a bicycle, but if you ask the Duke's wife to wear similar strange clothes, it might be inappropriate!" Lu Jiuyuan is more traditional and still has a little complaint about Zhao Han being too avant-garde.

Zhao Yan smiled casually and replied:

"Mr. Lu, when King Wuling of Zhao was riding and shooting, the State of Zhao was able to compete with the strong Qin. I think this riding suit was convenient for riding bicycles and horses, and it was of great promotion value. I will demonstrate it, and the role it can play must be better than that of ordinary people. As for the Duke of the Kingdom, it is reasonable to do my best to promote it, right!"

Zhao Han quoted the classics and immediately put his strange costumes on the name.

This time, Mao Geng was even more unsupported.

Strictly speaking, Mao Geng never thought about competing for business with the textile and clothing industry in the Song Dynasty in terms of clothing, but forcing labor safety and management, Mao Geng had to enter the garment industry.

With the development of industry, Mao Geng discovered a serious problem when he was trying to make a lathe, that is, traditional clothing in the Song Dynasty was not suitable for work clothes, because clothes in this era were tied to the body by belts. The so-called loose clothes and untied belts means that one or another should be untied when taking off clothes. When entering a place with machines, it is best not to have a belt on the body, because belts will affect safe production.

Finally, Mao Geng decided to make work clothes by himself. The work clothes in later generations have been tested by time and can be copied and modified.

In order to make work clothes, it is unimaginable that one must be sewn one by one by one, so Mao Geng had to design a sewing machine with three people, including Tan Xiaochun and Wu Biaoyong, and one of them was also a regular person, who was a tailor, named Fang Gengshu.

In my previous life, Mao Geng went to a sewing machine factory for an internship and was quite familiar with the principles of sewing machines. In fact, the principles of sewing machines are not complicated. If you understand their principles, the mechanism design is relatively simple.

This work started as early as Lin'an. Mao Geng started trial production from Penghu. Tan Xiaochun made a magnified wood model and repeatedly simulated it - the whole process is the process of tying two upper and lower threads under the fabric and then locking it. First, the needle is not threaded at the back end, but threaded holes at the front end of the needle tip. When sewing the fabric, the needle drags the upper thread through the fabric, and there is a ring with a notch at the bottom. There is a fork-shaped hook on the ring with a random needle to pass through the fabric. After the ring turns around, it just ties a knot with another thread below, and then the fabric advances to enter the next cycle of threading and knot locking. In this way, machine sewing can be achieved.

The first-generation sewing machine made by Mao Geng seems bulky, but it is quite appropriate to use, but the requirements for threading are relatively high, so you can only use high-quality silk thread to sew.

The problem of sewing machines was solved, which was the problem of buttons. In this era, there were clothing that used wooden buttons, but the wooden buttons were not durable and not beautiful. It was not difficult to use copper buttons, but copper materials were tight, so it was a waste of resources to use them on buttons. However, it was not difficult to make buttons. Because the rubber making industry developed by the Duke of Jianshe, leather glue, bone glue and fish bladder glue were made. These glues made Mao Geng feel the charm of the glue industry in this era. The industrial foundation of the Song Dynasty was actually not bad!

Subsequently, these glues suddenly became Mao Geng's industrial raw materials, not only used in cod liver oil gel coats, but also made Mao Geng use production buttons.

Nowadays, the highest-end buttons have the texture of later plastic buttons. In many people's feelings, these buttons are like jade, but they are different from jade. The jade will break when it falls, but this button will not break no matter how you fall.

In this era, plastics were hard to think about, and rubber trees were still in the Americas. I heard from the past that I knew that there was Eucommia ulmoide rubber, but Eucommia ulmoide rubber was not something that Mao Geng could achieve at this stage. Mao Geng also tried to extract Eucommia ulmoide rubber, which is also a natural polymer material born and grown in China. However, there are not many Eucommia ulmoide trees, and most of them are used as medicinal materials. The extracted Eucommia ulmoide rubber is both high and hard, so it is impossible to obtain elastic Eucommia ulmoide rubber.

Therefore, Mao Geng could only try his best to invent some alternative technologies.

Buttons are one of the products produced using alternative technologies.

The tires also use gelatin. Although the tires produced are limited in performance, lack of elasticity and limited in life, there is finally a kind of elastic tire, which greatly improves the comfort of the carriage.

Mao Geng left the Duke's headquarters and sat in the carriage. He was thinking along the way that, in combination with the current era, what women's clothing can be used to show off.

Before he returned to the Chief Executive's capital, he met someone who reported the news and told him that the ship Su Zhiyan had arrived at the port.
