Chapter 773 How Many Holes Does This Boy Have in His Heart?
When Qin Shihuang walked into the camp, he saw Zhao Lang frowning and staring at something like a piece of cloth in front of him, but he didn't notice him walking in.
The slave on the side saw it and quickly knelt down and saluted,
"I have met His Majesty."
Zhao Lang then raised his head, saw the other party, quickly stood up and said,
"Dad, you're here, but no one informed you. I'll go pick you up. It's already dark and it's a bit unsafe."
Qin Shihuang said calmly,
"My soldiers are all here, what danger can there be?"
Zhao Lang replied with a smile,
"Dad, what you said makes sense. There is no one in this world who can threaten you."
Hearing this, Qin Shihuang nodded somewhat complacently. Even if he flattered him, it still depended on his qualifications.
Obviously, Zhao Lang had this qualification, so Qin Shihuang felt very comfortable.
Just as he was about to ask Zhao Lang how to deal with the possible situation that may arise next, he heard Zhao Lang say with a smile,
"Dad, look at this."
As he spoke, Zhao Lang handed something like a piece of cloth on the table to Qin Shihuang. .
Qin Shihuang took it, touched it and said,
"What kind of fabric is this? It feels too rough."
Zhao Lang said with a smile,
"Dad, although this thing is rough, it is extremely thick and its warmth-keeping effect is much better than today's coarse cloth and silk!"
Qin Shihuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said,
"Oh? If it can be mass-produced, it will make people's winter easier."
"What kind of fabric is this? What's the price?"
Zhao Lang nodded, "The people of Great Qin are not spending the winter like they did in their previous lives, where everyone was happy to see a snowfall.
It’s hard now, and many elderly people and young children have died because they couldn’t bear it.
"Dad, actually you have seen this thing before,"
Zhao Lang said with a smile,
"It's just wool."
The people of Da Qin are actually not stupid. When the winter is cold, they also use wool to keep warm.
But most people wrap it in cloth, which is too irritating to wear next to the skin.
Such use is too restrictive.
Due to limited production levels, it is not yet possible to turn wool into cloth. Wool textiles are a high-tech industry for Daqin.
But with Huang Daopo's loom, all this was no longer a problem.
Nowadays, this thing is in short supply in the military.
The sergeant wore clothing made of wool, which was the most basic protection against cold and also had a certain degree of protection.
"Wool? But this..."
Qin Shihuang touched it again in disbelief. Now he was sure, but he was even more surprised.
Wool is not that easy to process, otherwise the people of Daqin, who had already had textile machines, would have done it long ago.
Seeing his father's surprised look, Zhao Lang explained the benefits of wool.
"Dad, from now on, these wool products will definitely be welcomed by everyone."
Qin Shihuang frowned slightly. He was not as optimistic as Zhao Lang and said,
"Lang'er, Dad knows that you like to come up with some novel things, but have you ever thought about it. Although this wool is good, ordinary people can't afford it."
"As for those nobles, they probably disdain these rough fabrics."
Nowadays, many people in Da Qin have trouble eating. How can they have spare money to buy these things?
Zhao Lang also nodded in agreement, as if he didn't buy expensive things in his previous life. Is it because he didn't like it?
But he quickly replied,
"Dad, what you said is indeed true, but you have ignored that the poverty of the people is only temporary. I am confident that I can keep everyone fed."
The current population of Daqin is only 20 million. With potatoes as a killer, eating enough is not a problem.
There is no need to worry about the future demand. The "sheep-eating people" movement in the previous life is enough to illustrate the demand for this kind of resource.
"Now we will first use government procurement to provide these woolen clothes to the sergeants."
"As for those nobles, dad, we also have something called cashmere cloth." Gu Sui
"And dad, these materials can be used for more than just clothing."
Military procurement can definitely support the initial market. In fact, woolen clothing is now extremely popular among the military.
Seeing that Zhao Lang had already considered this, Qin Shihuang nodded and replied with a smile,
"Well, in this way, you will gain a lot more income."
Zhao Lang shook his head this time and said,
"Dad, this time the manufacturing process of these things, the looms, etc. will be fully disclosed."
"We only charge a small fee for selling technology, and we don't get any other profits."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask,
"Why?"
He knew that although Lang'er was kind, he was definitely not someone who regarded money as dirt.
Otherwise, how could your internal treasury be empty?
Zhao Lang replied carefully this time,
"Dad, this industry cannot be completed by one person. It requires a lot of manpower and raw materials."
Zhao Lang quickly explained the key points one by one.
After Qin Shihuang heard this, he became even more confused.
"We need to build a special venue and muster so many manpower? But where can we find so many landless people nowadays..."
Speaking of this, Qin Shihuang suddenly stopped.
He got it.
It is almost impossible for people who own land to abandon their land and go to work in such a place.
The people of Da Qin are too attached to the land.
But isn't there going to be a group of people in Da Qin who have no land to farm and no way to go?
Thinking of this, Qin Shihuang looked at Zhao Lang again. How many holes did this boy have in his heart?
How come all these things were planned in an interlocking manner, but now he has to find some faults, otherwise how can he appear to be the father?
So he said,
"Lang'er, your plan is good, but your relationship with the nobles is not good now, and they will not listen to your arrangements."
Zhao Lang replied with a smile,
"Dad, if I assign the task directly, it will definitely not work. But if one day, the Mo family announces that an extremely important secret technique has been lost, and offers a reward of ten thousand gold to find it back."
"This secret technique allows one person to weave several bolts of cloth in one day!"
"Moreover, the army has released news that they want to purchase a large amount of woolen fabrics. What do you think will happen?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang suddenly stopped talking.
There is no need for him to ask these questions!
After these nobles saw the benefits, the level of competition was no less than a war!
You know, cloth is also a hard currency. In the past, many countries used cloth as currency!
In the face of these interests, in order to obtain more manpower, they are probably eager to free as many slaves as possible!
Who would dislike having too much money?
Seeing that Qin Shihuang stopped talking, Zhao Lang said at this time,
"Dad, this is the general plan. Let's start with it. There may be some resistance in the middle, but don't worry, there will definitely be no problem in the end."
"By the way, why did you come here to look for the child this time?"
Upon hearing the question, Qin Shihuang opened his mouth, and finally said dryly,
"It's nothing, dad just wants to come and take a look."
Zhao Lang blinked. Does the cheap dad have such deep feelings for him? He also replied dryly,
"The kid is fine, Dad, why don't you go see Hu Hai too."
At this moment, a burst of crying suddenly came from outside,
"What? It's all gone? Do you still want to fine me money? Wuwuwu..."
"Father, this is a critical moment for me and Mi'er! Wuwuwu..."
Qin Shihuang looked at Zhao Lang and replied slightly embarrassed,
"Ahem...I've already seen it."
