Chapter 225 It's good to subcontract out
Although the prospects are beautiful, it is urgent to solve the problem of insufficient wool clothing production capacity. After all, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers on the frontier suffering from the cold winter in the north, and they urgently need to keep warm clothes and resist the invasion of the cold winter!
From the current perspective, Shuofang County has insufficient population and is difficult to support sufficient wool textile industry. Although Linzi City has sufficient production capacity, it is not the best choice because the distance is too far.
Therefore, after thinking about it, only the Guanzhong region has both geographical advantages and sufficient population, which is more suitable for developing the wool textile industry... However, as one of the main grain production areas of Dahan, it is impossible for Guanzhong to focus all its energy on the textile industry, the most labor-consuming industry, like Linzi City. After all, in this era, clothing is not the primary problem to solve, and eating is!
Therefore, when Liu Che thought of this problem, he felt extremely headache. He felt like he was sitting in a treasure mountain but was unable to mine it and turned it into wealth.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Che could not come up with any good idea. In desperation, he could only turn his attention to Zhang Ran, the initiator, and asked him: "Zhang Qing, Shuofang County is scarce, and Linzi City is too far away. Where should you put this wool garment matter?"
Zhang Ran pondered for a moment and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, I think Guanzhong has the advantage of geographical advantages and the population is prosperous. This wool textile is enough to place in Shanglinyuan now, and there is no need to choose another place!"
"Shanglinyuan?" Liu Che was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Ran in confusion and said, "Zhang Qing, you said just now that this wool textile requires a lot of manpower, and it is difficult to produce on a large scale without a large number of people. He also used Linzi City as an analogy? Why did he suddenly change his words now? Why is this?"
Zhang Ran replied carefully: "Your Majesty, this wool textile is an emerging industry. The clothes it makes are quite crude, so it can only be used as winter clothes. Therefore, I think that for now, the market for wool textile is still very small, so it is enough to place it in Shanglinyuan. What's more, the method of wool textile is of great importance. If it is leaked and the Huns find out, wouldn't it be a reward for the enemy? I think this method should not be expanded blindly, and it needs to be done with caution!"
After a pause, Zhang Ran said again: "As for the comparison of Linzi City, I just felt that Linzi City's development experience can be used as a reference."
"Well..." After listening to Zhang Ran's previous explanation, Liu Che could understand it, but the following words made Liu Che a little dissatisfied. Liu Che frowned and said, "What can I learn from Linzi? Although the people in Qi are rich, they are absurd, like to play and hate farming. I heard that the people play the jiu, the zither, the piano, and the cock and the dog fight... Is this the same thing when Zhang Qing wants the people in Guanzhong?"
Zhang Ran shook his head quickly and replied, "Your Majesty, the people of Qi like to play, and most of the people who are afraid of farming are husbands. However, the women plant mulberry trees and silkworms all day long, weaving silk cloth, and the sound of looms has never stopped all night... It is because women spinning and weaving cloth, which is exchanged for money, that the absurd behavior of the husbands in the area... If they struggle all day long, but they cannot eat, the men in Qi have the energy to play the jiu, drums, and fight cocks and dogs?"
Then, Zhang Ran explained: "There are many weavers in Linzi, and their textiles are prosperous. Qidi silk and silk are popular all over the world, bringing them a lot of wealth. Therefore, Qidi is rich and is the best in the world. In Guanzhong, most common people make a living by farming. Although women weave silk and weave cloth, they are not large enough, so the wealth is naturally not as good as Qidi.
I think we can only choose our strengths and avoid our weaknesses! We can enrich our people in Guanzhong by making money!"
"Well..." Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Liu Che nodded slightly and said, "What Zhang Qing said is quite reasonable... However, how should we solve this problem of a husband who is lazy and hates labor?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I think that the husband of Qi is fond of leisure and labor, which is not his original intention, but he has to do it. The spinning, weaving and embroidery are mostly for women. Although men can do it, they rarely do it. Therefore, the husband of Qi can only find other ways to make a living... However, since the Spring and Autumn Period, since Duke Huan of Qi was the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Qi has loved beauty, liked gorgeous clothes, and enjoyed pleasure. I heard that the King of Chu is fond of thin waists, and starved to death in the palace! Therefore, the upward and downward action are what people seek! This evil is not that it cannot be changed, but that the King of Qi is unwilling to change it!
Therefore, I believe that if you can give a husband to Qidi, who is equally inferior to textile and embroidery, then Qidi may change his bad habits, abandon evil and follow good!"
"Haha..." After hearing Zhang Ran's words, Liu Che couldn't help but laugh: "Zhang Qing's words are quite a bit distorted. Let's just say, I'm too lazy to argue with you! Zhang Qing, let's talk about your way to enrich the people, what exactly should I do!"
Zhang Ran nodded quickly and replied: "I think that if I want to take the method of enriching the people in Linzi, I should follow his strengths, and his strengths are the prosperity of silk and silk textiles! Although I do not have mulberry silk in the border areas in Guanzhong, I have the skills of wool textiles and the convenience of local advantages. Therefore, I think that wool textiles may become a good recipe for the common people in Guanzhong to enrich them like silk and silk!
Moreover, in wool textile, washing wool is the top priority, and it consumes a lot of effort and cannot be done by women. It requires a lot of husband to work!
Therefore, wool textile can be divided into two steps. One is the initial cleaning of wool, which can be used as a husband. During the slack season, a large number of male men will be recruited and hired to assist. Wool textile is used as a woman's business, and it is better to weave thread and cloth to the woman!
My Shaofu masters the key method of removing odors from wool. In this way, we don’t have to worry about the leakage of core wool textile technology, but also solve the problem of insufficient labor. At the same time, we can also enable the people of Guanzhong to have money to make money..."
"Good! This method is very good!" Liu Che was still very satisfied with the solution given by Zhang Ran. In Liu Che's opinion, this kind of good thing that can be achieved by three goals in one go. If it can be successful, it will be a good thing no matter how you say it!
