I engaged in modernization in ancient times
Chapter 19 Cotton
Mo Shaoheng was able to bring the box to the Golden Palace, so he had already passed the inspection.
However, the old palace man standing next to the saint, after receiving the two boxes, checked them carefully before handing them to the saint.
In the Golden Hall, everyone raised their heads in disbelief. Even though they knew that there was a bead curtain hanging in front of the saint, they couldn't see what was inside the box at all, but the sea mouth that Mo Shaoheng boasted just now was too big, so they couldn't help being curious.
I can vaguely feel the saint's eyes watching the box.
After a while, the saint beckoned and asked the old palace man to pass the contents of one of the boxes to everyone in the hall.
It is a piece of cloth that is not too big, or even a little small.
This cloth feels extremely soft to the touch, if Mo Shaoheng's adjective is used to describe it, it is the word "silky smooth", the texture is so wonderful that you can only know it after touching it with your own hands.
Moreover, even in such a hot weather in Beiliang, the cloth actually felt a little cold to the touch.
How comfortable it would be if it were made into clothes and worn on the body.
"It's silk." Someone had already recognized it.
Nanli's silk was sold all over the world, but because of Mo Shaoheng, no one in Beiliang bought it. Even if a businessman bought some in private, they would not dare to wear it blatantly.
So this is the first time they have come into contact with silk directly.
With the passing of the silk, whispers began to discuss in the Golden Palace.
"This is silk comparable to gold."
It's really an excellent material. I wanted to praise it, but I held back.
The beauty of silk has given Huaxia an unrivaled reputation for thousands of years. The first contact is indeed shocking enough.
Mo Shaoheng's voice sounded, "Silk is woven by a kind of silkworm that cocoons and spins."
"A silkworm is a worm for the first half of its life, and a butterfly for the second half of its life..."
The legend of silk is not related to the wonder of silkworms. It is said that Kunpeng turns into fish in water and becomes a big roc in the sky. Silkworms are also a kind of extremely magical creatures, just like changing between two kinds of creatures. Sensitive scholars may Just because of such a wonderful story, people will be full of curiosity about silk.
What does it mean to have a story and quality?price.
Just like masonry, its essence is actually a kind of stone, but because it has a dream-like story, it is invaluable. The marketing legend that "brick and stone represent eternal love" is quite worth thinking about.
Mo Shaoheng knew what these people were more concerned about, and said, "Nanli now sells silk to various countries, and merchants from various countries go to Nanli in an endless stream, but the production of silk is limited, which is far from meeting the demand. One reason it's so expensive."
"That is to say, we have also started to produce silk in Beiliang, which will not affect sales at all. On the contrary, because Nanli has already spread the reputation of silk, the sales will be smoother."
Nanli helped to open up the market, which saved a lot of advertising costs.
"As for the benefits of gathering businessmen from various countries, I believe you have also seen it."
Could it be for this reason that Nanli's commerce has flourished and prospered day by day, that's why Mo Shaoheng was scolded as a traitor to the enemy.
The hall began to be lively.
Nanli has become prosperous, and they don't know how sad they are. Before, they were all poor and poor brothers and sisters.
But because of the silk, it is impossible to pardon Mo Shaoheng's crime. After all, the crime of being a traitor to the enemy cannot be compared with money. Some mistakes cannot be redeemed with money, and Mo Shaoheng committed such a mistake .
Before Mo Shaoheng returned to Beijing, they had long thought that Mo Shaoheng would use silk as a bargaining chip.
Mo Shaoheng also knew what these people were thinking. It was really difficult to choose between patriotic sentiments and the temptation of money, so Mo Shaoheng prepared a second box.
But before that, Mo Shaoheng still had to gain some emotional points. Amidst the discussions, Mo Shaoheng bowed his hands to the superior, "Saint, my heart is for Beiliang, and the world can learn from it."
"I think every day that I can bring the silk back to Beiliang, but I am far away in the enemy's camp, so there is really no way to do it."
The more he talked, the more disgusting he became, someone coughed quickly, and if he continued, Mo Shaoheng would pull the saint into the water again in a rebellious manner.
Ever since the envoy mission to Nanli came back, the relationship between Beiliang and Nanli has become worse and worse. If you want to send someone to Nanli, you can't go there. Is it just the imperial decree calling him back?
They were just people secretly sent to make contact, and no one was able to see Mo Shaoheng again.Mo Shaoheng stopped the topic, "So, the silk matter is not all my fault."
"In order to prove my innocence, and for the sake of my longing for my homeland in Nanli for so many years, I still brought back a very important thing for me in Beiliang under the eyes of the enemy."
After finishing speaking, he added, "This time, the people from Nanli didn't snatch it away."
Anyway, he didn't give Nanli the silk on his own initiative, and he wouldn't recognize it even if he was killed.
Everyone: "..."
Mo Shaoheng was talking about something more meaningful than silk as mentioned earlier?
Mo Shaoheng had no choice but to take the initiative, because he was afraid that these people would ask about Silk in detail.
Silk is good, and everyone here knows it, but don't forget, when Mo Shaoheng left Nanli, he left in a hurry, and he only brought some things that were very important to him, even gold and silver. They only brought enough to spend on the road.
He only brought a box of silkworm eggs back to Beiliang. If someone asked him about the production of silk, he would probably be embarrassed, and the others would probably vomit blood. The output is negligible, how can he be rich in Beiliang?
There is no other way, now ask Nanli for silkworm eggs?Others will think you are crazy.
Only relying on this bit of silkworm eggs, the breeding and development year after year will eventually make Beiliang a big country of silk, but it may take a little longer.
In the upper position, the saint is looking at the box in his hand, but he doesn't understand it.
Inside the box is still a piece of cloth, no, it should be said that two pieces of cloth are tied together to form a fluffy cloth, it seems that something is stuffed between the two pieces of cloth, but it is very light in the hand.
The saint thought for a while, and simply asked people to show the things to everyone.
I saw that the "cloth" was extremely fluffy, and it was separated by needlework into bulging grids. If you touch it, you can directly press down these grids. It's a bit strange, but it's still pretty.
Everyone couldn't help frowning. The cloth should be linen, which is the most commonly used cloth for ordinary people in Beiliang.
This is what Mo Shaoheng said, something more meaningful than silk that was brought back after untold hardships?
Someone asked, "What does this mean?"
They have already seen the beauty of silk, especially Mo Shaoheng's silk dress, which made people's eyes shine. When Mo Shaoheng first entered the palace, many people thought it was Qiongtai Immortals came to their northern cool.
But...they couldn't understand the sackcloth sewn into pieces.
Mo Shaoheng stepped forward and took the fluffy sackcloth, "Everyone, please take a look."
Then tear it hard.
Snow-white catkins floated on the Golden Palace, whiter than snow, extremely beautiful.
In the solemn Golden Palace, white catkins floated up, which felt quite strange.
Mo Shaoheng held a flying catkin like a white cloud in his hand and said, "Its value is not the linen outside, but the cotton that is made of cotton as you can see now..."
Mo Shaoheng's ability to obtain cotton was due to the fact that Nanli attracted businessmen from various countries, including some foreign businessmen.
Nan Yi used to like to watch strange things, how could he bear the sight of these foreign businessmen with weird skin color and hair color, but he didn't dare to leave the palace alone, so he dragged Mo Shaoheng to go with him every time.
Mo Shaoheng discovered that these cottons were scattered on the manes of foreign merchants' horses.
They were shocked on the spot, they didn't sell anything, they wanted cotton, and they didn't hesitate to ask these foreign businessmen to bring the cotton when they came next time, and they could even give some deposits in advance.
According to these foreign businessmen, they also passed by a certain place when they were doing business, and the horses accidentally got it on. This thing is extremely difficult to clean up, and the locals just treat it as some wild flowers.
It would be rather troublesome to collect, and I don't know what Mo Shaoheng is going to do.
Cotton is actually a little shriveled before it is played, and because it is white, it is often stained with dust. If you don’t pay attention when planting, it will be very ugly, which is very different from processed cotton.
Fortunately, Mo Shaoheng was generous, so the merchants from Outland agreed to help collect some when they passed by next time.
Now these are part of what Mo Shaoheng popped up secretly, the cotton seeds were collected by him, well, the quantity is only a small box.
But unlike silkworms, no one knows the use of cotton yet, and it is relatively not so difficult to collect it again.
Mo Shaoheng said, "This is cotton. As you can see, it can be stuffed into clothes and made into cotton clothes."
"It looks light and thin, but it is very warm. In winter, a cotton coat can achieve a good effect of keeping out the cold."
"The people in my Northern Liang still wear linen clothes in winter, unlike nobles who have fox furs to keep out the cold, and the price of cotton clothes is far less expensive than silk..."
"If silk is a luxury, then cotton is something that common people can afford."
That's why Mo Shaoheng said that it is more meaningful than silk.
The golden hall was filled with Mo Shaoheng's eloquent and eloquent voice.
The padded jacket was also being passed back and forth, it was light to the touch, but when it was covered in the hands, sweat broke out after a while.
If you wear it in winter, it will be very warm.
"It's really a good thing."
Mo Shaoheng still did not dare to increase the production volume. Whether it is silk or cotton, it is actually impossible to produce and promote large-scale production in a short period of time.
But Mo Shaoheng knows how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. His goal now is to get rid of the crime.
In order not to give the other party a chance to ask questions, he continued, "And the use of cotton is far more than that, it can also be used to make quilts..."
"It... can also be used to make cotton armor. When my soldiers in Beiliang wear it, it can not only maintain the original mobility, but also play the role of armor."
Mo Shaoheng's voice was heard in the Golden Palace, and celebrities are nothing more than romantic.
"As armor?" Some people were puzzled. We all know what kind of armor is. Can this soft thing be able to defend against knives and guns?
Mo Shaoheng smiled, "I will do an experiment for everyone, and everyone will know it at a glance."
Tsk tsk, look at how good the atmosphere is, you won't turn your face and deny people later, right?
However, the old palace man standing next to the saint, after receiving the two boxes, checked them carefully before handing them to the saint.
In the Golden Hall, everyone raised their heads in disbelief. Even though they knew that there was a bead curtain hanging in front of the saint, they couldn't see what was inside the box at all, but the sea mouth that Mo Shaoheng boasted just now was too big, so they couldn't help being curious.
