Become the city lord from today

"Six hours away from Xiyang City, there is a basin surrounded by mountains on three sides, which meets the young master's requirements."Mina replied as she flipped through her notepad.

"Six hours? Is it the carriage distance or the flying distance? Liu Feng asked

"carriage."Mina responded.

"Well, this distance is fine."Liu Feng nodded. If you can go back and forth in one day, it's not too far.

"Then young master, do you want to arrange to see it on the spot?"Mina asked

"Well, I'll leave tomorrow morning and return in the afternoon."Liu Feng counted the time and could get back to Xiyang City before dark.

"OK"Mina wrote it down.

"Now go to the workshop and take a look."Liu Feng stood up and stretched. After sitting for a long time, he wanted to get up and move around.

"good."Mina followed Liu Feng out of the castle and got on the carriage heading to the workshop.

"Tap tap tap......"

"Sir, the workshop has arrived."Xin Ke set up the wooden ladder and said respectfully.

"Crunch!"

Opening the carriage door, Liu Feng took Mina out of the car and walked towards the workshop.

This time Liu Feng came to inspect the textile workshop, and what he wanted to see this time was the spinning of wool. Wool comes from the other side of the prairie. A lot of it has been shipped back. Wool has been made into wool long ago, and now it is being woven into woolen cloth. The woolen cloth workshop also uses a loom driven by a steam engine.

"buzz buzz……"

Before Liu Feng entered the workshop, he heard the sound of the steam engine running.

"Lord City Lord, please wear a mask before entering the workshop. There is too much lint inside."The person in charge of the workshop saw Liu Feng from a distance and came over with several masks.

Liu Feng nodded. This mask is made of cotton. It is a thin layer and does not have much impact on breathing. They invented it themselves

"Come on, take me to see it."Liu Feng waved his hand and was very interested in woolen cloth.

"yes."The person in charge responded, leading the way and entering the factory after entering the gate.

There are rows of textile looms at work here. The wool threads are driven by the looms, and finally woven into wool cloth, which is rolled into a piece by the workers. bundle

"Look, my lord, this is the finest woolen cloth that can ever be made."The person in charge took Liu Feng to the warehouse where the woolen cloth was stored and pulled out a piece of woolen cloth.

Liu Feng reached out and touched the woolen cloth in front of him. It was a little bit... but the fineness was similar to that of fine linen. It was enough for winter use.

"How much wool cloth can be produced in one day?" Liu Feng asked, clapped his hands.

"Less than one fifth of linen."The person in charge shook his head and sighed, and then explained,"A spinning machine takes time to spin wool into thread. A ten-meter-long wool cloth and wool thread takes half an hour to spin from wool to wool thread."

The person in charge paused for a moment, and seeing that there was no unhappy expression on Liu Feng's face, he quickly said,"Sir, the most important thing is the degreasing of the wool, which is the most time-consuming."

Liu Feng nodded. He was also thinking of a way to do this. The wool needs to be degreased to remove the unique sheep smell.

Degreasing requires the use of alkali. Currently, the only way to extract it is with local plant ash. The speed is Of course it won't be faster. After all, you have to wait for the plant ash to settle down before you can use the clean water above it.

Such a process is too troublesome, and degreasing has become the process that delays the most time.

The best solution now is to find alkali mines, but there is still no way. There is no news about alkali mines. If alkali mines can be found, not only wool can be made into clothes, but other animal hairs can also be made.

Liu Feng thought for a while and looked at the wool cloth in the warehouse. There are really not many. These There is enough wool cloth for soldiers to make military uniforms, but there is too little to sell.

"I will send more manpower to you and ask people from the research department to send a few more textile machines. Enough woolen cloth must be produced before winter comes. Liu Feng looked at the person in charge and said calmly, but there was a serious tone in his words.

"Yes, my lord."The person in charge responded that as long as he is given more manpower, the output can be increased.

"Tomorrow I will ask someone to send over the design drawings of winter military uniforms, and let the people in the garment factory make a batch of them out of woolen cloth and take a look."Liu Feng said to the person in charge.

As long as you have military uniforms made of wool, you no longer need to wear too bulky clothes in winter, and it will be much more convenient to move in all aspects, and the warmth will be much better than linen clothes.

"yes."The person in charge responded respectfully.

"Master, should woolen cloth be used for military uniforms in winter?"Mina touched the woolen cloth in front of her and felt it was very prickly.

"Yes, military uniforms made of woolen cloth will have a better thermal insulation effect, so you don’t have to wear them too bulky. Liu Feng explained

"However, woolen cloth is very prickly and not as comfortable as linen or cotton clothing."Mina touched her clothes, which obviously felt much better than woolen cloth.

"Before putting on the military uniform, just wear a cotton jacket underneath. Liu Feng said with a smile. Of course he had thought of this. He could only solve it like this for now.

He had already prepared for changing into military uniforms. He had important things to do this winter, so he had to start preparing now to keep warm. This place is not like the earth. It can be processed through several processes to make the wool less prickly. Fortunately, wool is very warm, so this small shortcoming is nothing.

"This is acceptable."Mina suddenly realized that this is a solution.

"Let's go to the cotton cloth shop."Liu Feng secretly patted Mina's buttocks and walked out with a smile on his face.

"young master......"Mina's face suddenly turned red, she twisted her hips and swung her tail to keep up with Liu Feng's pace.

The cotton cloth mill started operating after the cotton harvest. Cloth made of cotton is much more comfortable than linen, but the cost is also more expensive than linen. After all, cotton production is limited, and things are rare and expensive.

But even so, they are deeply loved by those nobles. Nowadays, the clothes worn by the nobles in Xiyang City are basically made of cotton, as if they would be inferior if they don't wear cotton clothes.

Liu Feng inspected the cotton shop and then went to the wine shop. After all, Darena and the others would be back in less than a month, and these wines were prepared for the Aul Dwarf Kingdom.
