Chapter two hundred and ninety-seven, the sweater economy

As the first ancient man to wear a sweater, the two donkeys highly praised the robe.

But he also raised his own question: "mother, this robe is heavy, some inconvenience. "

Suyuebai took a look and suddenly slapped her forehead and sighed.

She was made according to the round-collared gown of two donkeys, but in this way, she used a lot of wool and made herself look bulky and clumsy.

Now the spinning process has been greatly improved, even cotton as fine wool can do, let alone a sweater.

So she got into the study and studied it for a few days before she found a solution.

She had taken advantage of her daily habit of dressing, and had made a sweater into a coat. But at the beginning of its life, sweaters were worn close to the skin as warm clothing.

She can knit warm underwear out of finer, softer wool. Wouldn't it be nice to have a plain cloth robe over it?

This will not only save wool, make more thermal clothing, but also increase efficiency.

And the scarf and the hat and the gloves, they're fine.

Suyuebai this idea, was brought up in the meeting, has been approved by the majority of people.

Not only that, but it offered her a more appropriate solution.

Her concerns about the slowness of the production process were ignored. It is even thought to be faster than making a down jacket. Wool is also readily available, and sheep are raised in many parts of the East China Sea, where they need to be sheared at regular intervals.

But for farmers, the economic value of wool is not high, mostly used to find people made of wool felt. And the flow of wool felt more than Su Yue Bai expected, can be used to do the roof of the carriage, and even some people added mud to make a roof.

It's a lot faster than growing cotton.

It was because cotton was not very warm and the clothes were heavy that she first proposed to make a down coat. I didn't realize that in the middle of a feather coat, I had invented a sweater.

And in accordance with the collective idea, you can directly use the rod needle made of wool, pieces, according to the need to cut sewing.

"Is this faster than weaving? "

"To make cloth you need a loom, but to make wool, you need only two needles. "

That's true. Looms aren't cheap, and not everyone has one. And rely on two stick needle, not only women can do, men can also do, and even the fingers of the elderly and children can be flexible knitting.

And during the slack winter months, many people stay at home, choosing to let these people knit so they don't have to hire extra labor.

And so, the knitting movement began in full swing.

After a number of experiments, the final result is to let them directly woven piece by piece of rectangular wool, piece. These wool pieces are then cut, sewed and turned into a warm wool sweater.

The whole process is extremely simple, just need to provide wool, stick needle, and teach you how to knit sweaters.

Although sweaters are made to be worn only in the cold winter months, what is in short supply these days is warm clothing. Many poor people to the winter, the whole family crowded in a room, even the charcoal are reluctant to burn.

Su Yue Bai is very lucky, the Lu family is not poor, although the days are not rich, but also can eat. At least in the original memory, Lu Yanmo never let her frozen, hungry to. It's hard enough in this day and age.

Every year when winter comes, many people can not see the next spring because of hunger and cold.

Sometimes when it snows too hard, the house collapses.

The people don't want to spend the winter, which means that the most severe season is coming. Can't go out and make money, so I stay in my room. This is the consumption of a whole year's hard work, for the people is really unacceptable.

Once the woolen sweater is popularized, it may be able to save more people this winter.

Just think, Su Yue Bai in the heart has a sense of accomplishment.

However, because of the war with the Huns, it is difficult to buy sheepskin from the huns. A piece of sheepskin is nothing but junk to a herder. They raised many flocks of sheep and killed the skins they left behind, some for clothing and others for Yurts.

But there were so many sheepskins left that no one would pick them up. And these sheepskins for Suyuebai, is a good material. Wool can be left to knit, and shaven sheepskin can be used to make sheepskin products.

When she thought of lambskin leathers, boots, etc. , she felt that it was a Water Green Boulevard, full of business opportunities.

Because of the cold weather, the movements of the huns have been gradually reduced recently. Feeding troops needs food, and the winter grassland has no food source, can only eat their own cattle and sheep.

This is also why the Xiongnu invasion of the East China Sea, in the Xiongnu People's idea, as if the rich east China Sea as their granary. They wanted to raise the Han Chinese as livestock, and the livestock would produce more food.

Once the East China Sea falls, everyone will live like animals.

The reason why Suyuebai wanted to repeatedly improve warm clothing, but also hope that people can have winter clothes, can have more people out of the house. There are many things to do in winter, just to see if anyone will notice.

Once they were strong enough to withstand the cold, the huns were nothing.

"The weather is so cold, can they fight to come in? " Su Yue Bai does not understand war, can only look to Lu Yanmo of doubt of vision.

"Word came from Doru that Hanati's health would not last long. There was already a pre-war silence in the royal court, and everyone was staring at the spot, waiting to hear of Hanati's death. Instead, the huns did not pay as much attention to the east China Sea."

Su Yue Bai breathed a sigh of relief, then asked: "Who is Doru? Who is Hanati? "

"Toru was the man we sent to the huns to get information. The HANATI called Uzhudanyu the king of the huns. "

Su Yue Bai saw Lu Yan mo one eye, the brows center tiny furrow.

That day he said he was a general, Suyuebai is not a bit of letter. But this guy's a mastermind, and he's obviously not a regular guy.

She frowned, but Lu Yanmo thought she was worried that the huns would send more troops, "It was cold, and the huns had no food to eat. Only at the end of winter and the beginning of spring was the most likely time for a surprise attack. But during this time, a small force would attack, " he explained

Lu didn't want to worry her. He and Ponven were certain that once the news of Hanati's death came, the princes would set their sights on the east China Sea as they competed for the throne.

Hanati will not make any princes, was Tolu's exact words. He knew he was going to die, so he waited for the right moment. Only the most cunning and brave men could become the king of the huns. Therefore, the war huns are inevitable, there is no way to avoid the possibility.
