Heavy snow blocks the road, and strong ice breaks the river.

Even the trails between the families in the village were flooded with heavy snow.

However, the Liu clans in Lousang Village were not afraid of the ice and snow. They got up early, and rushed to the ancestral temple in groups of three or three, walking on the snow.

Liu Bei, wearing a wolf-skinned cloak in the ancestral hall, stood in the middle of the crowd with several clan uncles and old clan leaders. There were several large marching pots in the ancestral hall. The pot was thick red and the bubbles were surging. It was the boiled cowhide glue.

Around the bronze pot, craftsmen are demonstrating how to make a hemp mattress. At present, hemp mattresses can not only be used as mattresses, collapse mattresses, but also as seat mattresses.

Since it is a specialty, it must be able to produce in large quantities. Otherwise, it will be difficult to become a climate. The key is that this technique is very easy to imitate. Just find a good craftsman to disassemble the hemp pads, and the key points are clear at a glance. Therefore, before it is imitated, Lousang Village needs to produce in large quantities to form a climate as soon as possible.

Liu Bei originally wanted to teach everyone in the village, but the old patriarch shook his head. Not only did he strictly limit the number of people, he also had to be a child of the Liu clan in Zhuo County to inherit this skill.

The same is true for several clan uncles.

Liu Bei couldn't argue and had to agree.

Things like hemp pads actually have no technical content. The key is to grasp a few tips.

Compared with Liu Bei, who invented the hemp pad, the craftsmen learned from it and invented the technique of using different types of hemp silk such as hemp, ramie, azure, and kudzu (kudzu vine), supplemented with different amounts of beef glue to make hemp pads of different softness and hardness. They also optimized each process in a targeted manner. Making hemp pads has become a pleasing skill that can pass on the eyes and pass on later generations.

After seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but praise himself secretly.

Ingenious craftsmanship.

That's what I said.

I put a made hemp mat in front of the hall. The old patriarch tried it and it was indeed a comfortable body. It was a real old-age care tool!

"How much does it cost to build this mat?" the old patriarch asked with a smile.

A regular straw mat is priced at 150 yuan.

The cost of hemp pad is mainly: hemp silk, beef glue, yarn lining, brocade cover.

One pound of hemp silk is ten cents, one piece of raw cowhide is two hundred cents. A piece of cloth is two feet and two inches wide (51.5 cm) wide, four feet and four feet (9.36 meters) long, and one piece of yarn is five hundred cents. A piece of Shu brocade can be sold in the north, and it is worth a thousand cents.

After Liu Bei calculated roughly, he replied: "One thousand five hundred coins."

"Can you sell three thousand?" the old patriarch asked again.

"Two thousand is enough." Liu Bei felt that the profit of half was too high.

"It's true, the master." The old patriarch laughed and sighed.

The hemp pad made is more than three inches thick (10 cm) and more than eight feet and four inches long (2 meters). The total weight is about 100 kilograms!

The hemp silk is heavy, and the beef glue is also heavy. If you apply layers of paint and press it into cakes from bluestone, how can you not be heavy!

A hemp pad makes five hundred yuan.

It's already huge profits.

It should be noted that a sheep is only five hundred dollars!

Judging from the old patriarch’s wishes, the village wants to build a new house?

Why is this?

After asking, I realized how crazy it would be if there is an outstanding craft in this era!

Take the bees raised by Liu Bei for example. In the early years, someone cut down the trunks of wild honeycombs and hung them under the walls of their own houses for breeding. Later generations of "Biography of Gao Shi" records: During the Yanxi period, a famous Jiang Qi "lived in seclusion, making livestock and bees and pigs as a matter of work. The professors were all over the world, with more than 300 businessmen. Thousands of people lived there in it.'

A hermit who can raise bees and pigs actually followed him in seclusion!

It is not difficult to imagine that once Ma Dian becomes a specialty of Lousang Village, Qimin, a household in the township, will flock to join us!

Settlements and settlements gather together to form a village.

Unlike retirement, getting into Lousang Village is a difficult problem.

This will be discussed later.

First teach the making skills of hemp mats to the children of the clan.

Taking advantage of the heavy snow to block the road, the Liu family in Zhuo County stepped up their training. After the beginning of spring, the ice will melt and the sun will be warmer, and production will be accelerated.

Liu Bei also sent a letter to Geng Yong and asked him to purchase hemp silk and animal skins on his behalf to save them for later use.

I didn't think that there were two more horses in the backyard, and I suddenly felt that it was a lot noisy. In addition, drinking water and feeding grass, the horse manure accumulated. The smell gradually became turbid. Only then did Liu Bei realize the benefits of entering the yard three times. The yard with two times in front and back is indeed not suitable for raising livestock.

The front yard needs to welcome guests, so you can't move naturally.

Or according to what my uncle said, the backyard was divided into two yards. The Niu Lao horse stable was single into one yard, and the corner gate was opened to enter and exit.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei felt that it would be best to pull another backyard.

I don’t know if the three courtyards are beyond the rules?

Liu Bei asked his mother about this matter first. His mother recited the scriptures and memorized them. Anyway, it was the right to punish the nine clans.

But to Liu Bei, it seems that those murderous laws related to overstep the rules are mostly to prevent the princes from becoming powerful and threaten the centralized power!

For this reason, Han Law also had a series of charges for punishing princes and their accomplices. For example, the princes unauthorized the emperor's clothes, chariots, horses, palaces, rituals and music, which were all transgressions.

The crimes also apply to all officials except the princes. Among the crimes of corruption, dereliction of duty and violation of the system, there are also crimes such as over-the-column, over-the-column, and improperness. Over-the-column, over-the-column, and improperness not only refers to violation of the etiquette system, use of clothes, chariots, horses, palaces and rooms beyond the standard, but also includes disrespectful behaviors such as ruthless words and deeds.

Violating these crimes will naturally be subject to severe sanctions.

Just as the purpose of these crimes is to prevent the superiors and the inferiors and the relatives and the relatives and the relatives and the quarrels and severance.

In the eyes of the court, the biggest internal trouble is always the princes.

However, today is different from the past.

Wolves and smoke spread everywhere, and thieves continued to rebel. The power of the court was declining day by day, while the power of prefectures and counties increased day by day. Some officials from the border and local tyrants were in the palace, and the over-the-country houses were particularly serious. The court had more will but lacked strength. The people even built walls to form associations to defend themselves.

In short, if the people do not procure, the officials do not investigate.

Don’t mention the chief officials of the border, the landlords and powerful people. Liu Xiaopang is not even a small landlord!

Who has the time to check him?

Besides, everyone in the village has the same tribe, who else can expose it?

"Four Minutes": "In February, Shunyang is used to archery in order to prevent unexpected events."

Yang energy gradually arises and all things reviv.

Just after Jingzhe, several targets were set up in Liu Bei's backyard. The third uncle, the number one archer in the clan, was urging Liu Xiaopang to practice shooting skills. The snow in the yard has been cleared by the clan's help. As soon as the sun shines, the bricks and floors will dry out.

Liu Bei could barely pull away the two-stone Xiongnu bow. Uncle San saw that he was too hard, so he changed to the wooden bow he used to practice. Just like Gongsun taught him two-handed sword fighting skills, the training at this time was mostly proficiency.

As for speed and strength, it will be enough when Liu Bei becomes an adult.

Since he was buried in the stones and clearing the land, he has taught the technique of making pads. The clan members have long stopped treating him as a child. The old patriarch asked the third uncle to teach him carefully, and he should not be misunderstood for a day.

I will be re-elected sooner or later. It was a saying that the words of childishness were not scruples. However, the members of the Liu clan gradually believed it.

If you weren't born Liu Sandun, how could you understand these craftsmanship techniques?

After reading the "Four Minutes and Monthly Orders", Liu Bei suddenly realized. For example, he knew: "From the first month of the year, you should not cut wood and will produce worms." From the first month to June, it is not advisable to log wood. It is the season for insect breeding, and wood will produce worms.
