127 Golden Silk Blanket

Regarding the speed of weaving, the Han Yuefu "Going the Mountain to Pick Miwu" contains the sentence "Newly weaving silk, so artificially weaving silk. Weaving silk is one piece a day, and weaving silk is more than five feet a day. If you compare silk, it is better for new people."

In the poem: Silk, yellow silk, is considered an ordinary textile. One piece can be weaved a day. Simple, pure white silk is higher than the price of silk. According to the Han regulations, one piece is four zhang long, two feet and two inches wide, and five zhang is one piece and one quarter, which is quite fast.

When my mother knitted out the blanket and spread it in the hall, it was indeed warm and soft.

Liu Bei was overjoyed. This is Lou Sang's new specialty!

Then he knelt down to his mother and saluted: My mother is a woman in the town and can find food and clothing without worries!

My mother, who had been working for several days, also smiled.

This summoned the clans and the people who were good at weavers came to the ancestral temple together. The mother taught the blanket weaving art.

In Liu Bei's opinion, plain blankets are naturally the best.

However, according to the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty, even the colors of clothes must be strictly divided into different levels, and scholars and officials will be ashamed to be listed with the common people. Therefore, plain blankets can only be sold to households and civilians. Scholars and officials, high-ranking officials, and royal nobles must be different.

Referring to the grade classification of the bedding mats, Liu Bei also wanted to divide the blankets into three grades.

I asked my mother, my mother already has a solution: low-quality plain colors, medium-quality colors, and high-quality gold wires can be used.

Golden silk and jade thread!

Why did Liu Bei forget it?

The most special thing about the golden silk blanket is that during the process of knitting the blanket, a part of the pattern is woven with gold. The gold wire is rolled into gold platinum, and then processed into gold thread. It is made of using the gold weaving method and wrapped around the wool thread.

With the golden silk and jade wool clothes, how could the production process of the golden silk thread be so big? Su Bo has found the key after trying it several times.

One pound of hemp costs ten cents.

How much does a pound of wool cost?

When asked everyone around him, he didn't know. Liu Bei had to ask Wulian. After asking, he found out that there were also some weavers who were good at weavering. Wulian said that the division of labor between men and women in Wuhuan was clear. Men cast copper and iron, made bows and arrows, horse harness, weapons, pottery, etc. Women weaving, embroidered clothes, made felts, and sewed tents. After moving inward, they absorbed the Han people, learned from their strengths and weaknesses, and their skills became more exquisite.

For wool textiles, Wuhuan Weaver Girl is better. It is also said that handling wool is also related to the tricks.

However, the news that Liu Bei wanted to weave a blanket surprised Wu Lian. He said: There was never a precedent for learning to create a "Hu" in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei smiled and replied: Who said there was no? Isn’t it just that Hu clothing, riding and shooting? Besides, the Han people do not avoid using fur. Wolf-skin cloaks, marten cloaks, deer-skin gloves, etc., aren’t they all animal fur? Because there are many goats in the Central Plains. The hair is very short and cannot be spinned, so they can only make pens. They cannot be spun into wool, so they naturally cannot be knitted into blankets.

Wu Lian nodded. After a little thought, she said: The price of wool can be used to refer to the price of sheep.

A grassland sheep can live for about 300 coins, and it can live for ten years. The time it takes for shearing wool is about eight years. A grassland sheep can shear her hair twice a year. Adult rams can get four kilograms of wool. Adult ewes can get three kilograms of wool.

Regardless of whether it is male or female, they are calculated based on the average of three and a half pounds. If you shear hair twice a year, you can get seven pounds. A total of fifty-six pounds will be calculated in eight years. If you use the price of 300 sheep, you can calculate the gross price. One pound of wool is less than two cents of copper coins. This price is really a bit low.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: Weaving cloth, the Han people used hemp, and the Wuhuan used wool. They are all daily needs. It is better to convert the price of wool by the price of hemp silk. How about it?

Wu Lian couldn't help but widen her eyes: You mean, you can bid ten cents for a pound of wool?!

Liu Bei smiled and nodded: Yes.

Gudong. Wu Lian swallowed a big saliva and suddenly raised her palm: It’s no point to say anything.

Liu Bei also raised his palm: It was a pledge to swear.

Then he slapped her three high-fives and set the price of the wool.

In Wulian's heart, there is a simple reference. If you sell a sheep, you will lose one sheep. If you wait until you finish cutting the wool, you will lose one sheep. If you are also missing one sheep, will the money you earn by shearing the wool first be in vain? Who won't make money in vain?

Well! Shear the wool first and then sell the sheep.

Wulian, who figured out everything, could not delay it for a moment. I immediately wrote to Wuyan, the King of Wuhuan of Youbeiping. Let him remember to cut the wool for eight years first and then sell the sheep!

Blankets are a general term. According to their different uses, they can be divided into carpets, tapestries, and tapestries are also called tapestries. They are mostly used for decoration. The combination of solid wood floors and wool carpets is wonderful in the middle of winter. If you take off your shoes and go into the house, you won’t feel cold.

Whether it can be sold like a bedding, I have to see again. However, it is possible to find a way to settle down for women in the city. This is the greatest function of a blanket.

My mother thought so.

Liu Bei didn't understand the textile skills. He could just leave them to his mother and a group of female workers. What's more, there were female workers from Wuhuan who helped him. I think it was only a matter of time before Lou Sang's characteristics were formed.

Only when Liu Bei lived in this era did he realize what it means: the four seasons are distinct.

Spring is warm and autumn is cool, and the heat is severe and winter is severe.

As the beginning of winter passes, the temperature drops sharply. Before I know it, the water accumulated in the shade of the street market has frozen. It makes a sound when I step on it.

The flowing water is not easy to freeze. The sky carriage and the keel roll over are running as usual. For example, the three-legged buoy cauldron is also covered by a warm room. The heat is inside and it is not frozen in the middle of winter. Although the temperature is cold, the time before the New Year was the most leisurely time for Lou Sang. The people of the people who worked hard for a season began to enjoy a rich and leisurely life. The people of Lou Sang, with a prosperous industry, can also meet almost all the needs of the people of the people.

Banquets of various names appeared in groups. Liu Bei still asked his relatives to follow his brothers to do it on his behalf.

The biggest difference from the past is that the funerals have decreased significantly, and almost all of them are wedding banquets. The reason is that the heating facilities all over Lousang saved the lives of the elderly and widowed.

It started to snow this winter at night. By dawn, it was white. The outlines of heavy buildings that were rising one after another and connected the skylines were all covered with snow. Just as the people of the townsmen took to the streets to sweep the snow and were very busy, a weak boy wearing a straw hat walked into Lou Sang under the snow and found Liu Bei's mansion.

After asking the guard, he confirmed that it was Liu Bei's mansion. The boy took out a lamb's skin from his arms, put it gently in front of the steps.

He rushed to the guard and said, "I'm sorry to send a message to the uncle, and said, "It was the old friend of Yan who offered this item in front of the steps."

Without waiting for the guard to ask, the boy turned around and left.

The Bai Li Jingshou stepped forward, unpacked the package, and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no fraud, he sent it to the Marquis' Mansion.

Liu Bei opened the package and it was a single-eared ceramic cup.

‘The old friends of Yan State are worshipped in front of the steps’. Could it be Yan Rou?

Liu Bei hurriedly brought Yan Rou's gift cup when she parted. Compared with each other, the shape of the instrument was exactly the same.

It's really Yan Rou.

One in front and one behind, two identical pottery cups are given. Why is this?
