Everyone first expressed their approval of his idea, and then they began to discuss it in detail.
"Let's start with clothes. I'll go first. OP, you can plant a batch of cotton and use it to make cotton-padded clothes!”
"During the Zhenguan period, cotton had already spread from the Western Regions to the Great Tang, but there weren't many of them, so very few people planted them.”
"With more cotton, whether it's used as a filling for cotton-padded jackets and quilts, or spun into clothes, there will be a very good market.”
"It's indeed more comfortable to wear cotton clothes. I believe many people will choose cotton clothes.”
Someone suggested that Li Ke should plant and promote cotton in the Great Tang, and then use cotton to make clothes.
"The cotton is indeed feasible!"
After Li Ke saw it, he nodded in agreement.
Then, he picked up a pen and added a branch to the big tree that represented 'cloth', and wrote the word' cotton 'on it.
During the Zhenguan period of the Great Tang, cotton was mainly produced in the Western Regions.
However, many merchants from the Western Regions came to Chang 'an to do business. They would bring some cotton and seeds.
At that time, it was not called cotton, but white stack!
But at that time, there were not many people in the Great Tang who grew it, so the use of cotton was very few.
As for the cotton-padded clothes, quilts, and cotton-padded jackets, there wasn't even a single one.
This was equivalent to a blank market. After he transmigrated, as long as he developed it a little, he would obtain a large amount of wealth.
"Wool is fine too. The ancient people didn't know how to remove the grease from wool, so they usually threw it away.”
"OP can collect wool from the grasslands at an extremely low price, then make it into woolen products such as sweaters after being defatted, and then sell it. There will definitely be a huge market!”
"The winter in ancient times was very difficult to endure. Every year, many people would freeze to death. If there were clothes like woolen products that were extremely warm, there would definitely be a lot of people buying them!”
"The main reason is that the price of the raw materials is low, and the price of the finished products is high. This way, the profits earned are very considerable!”
"Not only that, the wool can also be used to make writing brushes. After being defatted, the wool is soft and smooth, and it feels great when you write!”
Li Ke also saw someone propose to use the wool to make woolen products for sale and to make writing brushes.
"Wool is not bad either!"
Li Ke also agreed with this person.
In ancient times, there was actually very little use of wool.
The biggest reason was that there was no advanced wool de-greasing technology in ancient times!
The wool that was shaved from the sheep was wrapped in a layer of grease. If it was spun and woven without being defatted, the clothes after production would be wrapped in the smell and grease of lanolin.
In other words, clothes made of wool would smell like sheep when worn!
Moreover, this smell could not be washed away with water. It had to be defatted with a special method.
Otherwise, the smell would always be there, and it would be very unpleasant.
The same applied to writing brushes. The quality of the wool before it was defatted was not good, and the writing experience after it was made into a writing brush was not good.
It was not until after the Yuan Dynasty that people had a preliminary method of removing grease that the wool pen began to be widely used.
This was why wool was rarely used. The technology at that time could not be used to remove the grease.
After the wool was defatted, it became the wool textile that people usually saw in modern times.
Absorbing moisture and keeping dry, warm in winter and cool in summer, fluffy and soft without harden, naturally flame-resistant, safe and reliable.
Wool fabrics had many advantages, but the only drawback was that they were very expensive.
But this was for the modern era. In ancient times, the wool on the grasslands was directly thrown away.
To Li Ke, the cost was almost nothing!
Li Ke picked up his pen again and added a branch to the big tree, writing the words 'wool.'
He also emphasized on the matter of wool de-greasing.
He only knew that wool needed to be defatted, but he did not know the specific method. He still had to learn it later.
Next, Li Ke also saw some people's ideas in the replies, as well as the application scenarios of wool and cotton.
"You only talked about the raw materials. You didn't say how to turn the raw materials into finished textile products with high efficiency and low cost.”
"OP, you can write down the blueprints of the Jenny Spinning Machine and the Shuttle Loom. After you transmigrate, you can use these two machines to spin and weave.”
"If we use these two machines to spin and weave, not only will the efficiency be greatly improved, but the labor cost will also be greatly reduced. If we can use them to drive the steam engine, we can take off immediately!”
At this moment, someone mentioned the Jenny Spinning Machine and the Shuttle Loom.
"You just arrived, right?"
"We already talked about the Jenny Spinning Machine and the Shuttle Loom on the first day.”
Upon seeing this, someone immediately came out to respond, saying that these two machines had been proposed on the first day.
Li Ke smiled, then added the 'Jenny Spinning Machine' and the 'Shuttle Loom' to the branch.
This was his original intention of organizing the categories, to put all the related things under one general direction.
For example, these two machines had indeed been mentioned on the first day, but that was mixed in with a lot of information.
But now, through sorting and classification, it was classified under the category of 'cloth'.
When the time came, it would not be easy to miss out on some of them.
"Dyes and Jacquards are also very important, okay?”
"Dyes existed in ancient times, but they easily fade with time and washing. At this time, better quality dye is needed.”
"OP, you really have to focus on learning the principles of the Jacquard loom. For example, the Jacquard loom is definitely not inferior to the Jenny spinning machine and the shuttle loom in the textile industry!”
At this moment, Li Ke noticed a new reply.
The content of the reply made his eyes narrow.
He knew about the dye. For example, cotton was pure white. If he wanted other colors of cloth or clothes, he would need to dye the cotton with a dye.
But what was the Jacquard machine this person mentioned?
Jacquard?
It was a divine artifact that was no less than the Jenny Spinning Machine and the Shuttle Loom for the textile industry?
Although Li Ke did not understand, he had already vaguely realized that he seemed to have obtained an important piece of information!
