Six hundred and fifty-fourth, the big fish takes the bait(1/2)
After all, it is a new thing, and there is really a lack of understanding.
If you don't experience it yourself, who knows its real effect?
Not only did he do this, but he looked curious when he looked at this thing that had never happened.
Liu Mingquan simply took off his sweater and signaled to take away the tea, and then put the sweater on the Eight Immortals table.
"Of course, you can touch it casually, it's okay, it's okay." He pointed his right hand, his face full of smiles, signaling these people to touch it boldly.
Under Mei Shou's instructions, Jiang Zheng took the lead in touching it.
"This one is very soft, very elastic, and feels very warm." He simply touched it a few more times, his face extremely surprised.
Wen Tianxiang also came forward and hesitated for a few moments, looked at Liu Mingquan, and asked carefully: "Can students touch them too?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Mingquan glanced at everyone and waved his right hand, "Everyone wants to touch it."
Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all stepped forward to touch him gently, and couldn't help but exclaim: "There are such soft and elastic things in the world, and the key is that it still feels warm."
"You haven't noticed its biggest benefit yet." Liu Mingquan looked at the crowd of people constantly touching the scene, without any concern.
Lu Xiufu was shocked and stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Shopkeeper Liu, what are the benefits of this sweater?"
"It's very close-fitting and feels much better than fur clothes." Although Liu Mingquan's tone was plain, he accidentally showed its extraordinaryness.
Lu Xiufu looked at the sweater carefully and couldn't believe it: "It's obviously not as strong as the fur coat, and it seems to have some gaps, which is actually warmer than the fur coat?"
"I used to think so. I didn't realize its benefits until I put it on my body. The fur coat looks sturdy and very rich, but it has a fatal flaw, and it is not close to the body at all." Liu Mingquan explained lightly, "What is the consequence of not being close to the body? I think you all know that it is the wind blowing."
"It's so magical?" Mei Shou couldn't help it anymore. He stepped forward and touched his sweater, then looked carefully.
After he stroked it, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Zheng, and couldn't help asking, "Zi Zhong, why is this?"
"The reason why it is close to the body is because its shape is very similar to that of the human body, so there is no gap." Jiang Zheng looked over and over again, suddenly realized, and finally understood, and couldn't help but be amazed.
After saying that, he picked up the sweater and compared it with Liu Ming's full body shape.
Now, everyone present also saw it.
There is no harm without comparison. Although the fur coat is wide, it is not similar to the human body, so it is inevitable to have ventilation.
Wen Tianxiang thought for a while and bowed to Jiang Zheng: "Jiang Dianli, if the fur clothes were also made into a human body shape, wouldn't it be warmer?"
"It's hard, very difficult." Jiang Zheng shook his head while stroking it.
Wen Tianxiang thought about it and said a reason: "Maybe it will be more expensive, but it would be great if it is close to you."
Wen Tianxiang is also a farming and studying family. He has a very good family background and is usually fur clothes during winter.
Now that he saw the sweater in shape, he had an idea and suddenly thought of this question.
"It's not a matter of cost." Jiang Zhengran shook his head, picked up the sweater, and pointed at it while thinking, "Can fur clothes be thinner in sweaters? If it is so thin, it will not be able to keep warm at all, because it is not as soft and elastic as the sweater, and cannot be knitted together."
Wen Tianxiang was disappointed when he heard this and had to stop thinking.
He was disappointed, but someone was full of hope.
This person is nothing else, but the minor official Xiao Huadong.
"I dare to ask Manager Liu, what is the raw material of this sweater? Is it related to hair?" Xiao Huadong thought for a while, and his mind suddenly appeared, and he asked Liu Mingquan for advice.
"You really have the heart and can use your brain," Liu Mingquan looked at Xiao Huadong happily and praised him. "It is indeed made of wool textile, it is wool."
Xiao Huadong felt incredible: "Wool, then why is the sweater not black, but white? Could it be that Zhaojiazhuang uses a dye to dye black white?"
"You are wrong. It is not woven with goat wool, but with sheep wool." Liu Mingquan laughed loudly, feeling that Xiao Huadong was both smart and cute.
When Xiao Huadong heard Liu Mingquan laughing, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Strange, it's really strange." He smelled it again, feeling incredible: "The wool smells so strong, why does this sweater have no mutton?"
In fact, this sweater also has a smell, which is Liu Mingquan's sweat smell, so he naturally couldn't say it. "Of course the wool has a mutton smell," Liu Mingquan nodded first, and then changed the topic, "But the little saint invented a thing that can eliminate the mutton smell during the production process."
"The sweater is so perfect, I don't know how the price is?" Xiao Huadong felt that his heart almost jumped out and couldn't help but say.
Not only him, but everyone looked at Liu Mingquan together.
"Its price is one tael of silver." Liu Mingquan said lightly, giving the answer.
Xiao Huadong couldn't help but exclaim: "What, this thing costs one or two taels of silver? It's too expensive."
"It's expensive, is it as expensive as fur clothes? It's only 10% fur clothes, and it's warmer than fur clothes." Liu Mingquan replied lightly.
Xiao Huadong was embarrassed and said the reason: "But its raw materials are made of wool, so things will always be thrown away as waste."
"That was the past, it was valuable from now on, and the price of wool will soon rise in the future." Liu Mingquan said patiently while analyzing, "Is it not cost to turn from wool into a sweater? The little saint also relies on it to support 50,000 refugees."
"Can this support 50,000 refugees?" Xiao Huadong found it difficult to understand. "I heard that most of these 50,000 refugees are elderly women and boys, how to support them?"
"These 50,000 refugees came to Xi County and were almost penniless." Liu Mingquan said solemnly, "The little saint not only wanted to give them a way to live, they had accommodation, clothes and food, and could eat enough, but also had to ensure that every boy could go to school and study. Wherever the money came from, he got it from his sweater."
"The old age has something to live, the strong has something to use, and the young have something to gain. This is no longer a well-off society, but a great harmony." Mei Shou couldn't help but interrupt and agreed, "Does Xixian have to achieve great harmony?"
"Of course, Datong has always been the pursuit of the little saints, and it has been basically achieved in Jintang County, Changyuan County and other places. Of course, the little saints also thought so in Xi County, but the Hu people suddenly sent 50,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled, so they came up with this method." Although Liu Mingquan's tone was plain, everyone could hear his pride.
Hearing this, everyone, including Mei Shoudu, solemnly bowed to Xixian.
What is Datong? It is the lifelong goal of every scholar.
But Datong was too difficult. Before the Song Dynasty, it made a lot of efforts, and at most it was achieved to achieve a well-off society.
After all, although officials were rich before the Song Dynasty, the grassroots people had extremely heavy taxes.
They can only say that they barely support their family by removing taxes in the years of good weather, but they run away everywhere when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters.
If the people had reached a well-off society, how could Fang La, Song Jiang, Wang Xiaobo and others have revolted?
Unexpectedly, the Datong society that scholars in the Song Dynasty have always pursued will be realized in Xixian and other places.
But Xiao Huadong was a little dissatisfied. After hesitating, he suddenly said, "Isn't the little saint raising them up? Are you raising lazy people?"
"No, no." Liu Mingquan shook his head, "These sweaters are hand-woven by women's robes. They rely on their own hands and feet to support themselves and their families."
"It's a pity that it's still too expensive." Xiao Huadong still wanted to suppress the price.
Liu Mingquan compared the price: "This is still expensive? The Hu people bought it but they always picked up the goods card, which is equivalent to two taels of silver. When they heard that Hu people sold to the Western Regions, someone even bought one tael of gold."
"But they are Hu people, we are Song people." Xiao Huadong was still unwilling to accept it, "The Song people should take care of the Song people."
Liu Mingquan was so amused that he analyzed this one by one, "Do you know, this sweater must be weaved one hand and one hand, and one person can knit one in seven days, not to mention that he has to deal with deodorization, oil removal, straightening, drying and other processes. This sweater is much stronger than ordinary clothes. As long as you cherish it, it will not be a problem to wear it for ten years. In fact, it only costs a hundred cents a year."
"It's only 100 cents a year, which is not expensive." Xiao Huadong felt a little embarrassed, "Is there any sales in Lin'an?"
"This thing has just been made, and the main sales are Hu people and the West." Liu Mingquan sighed.
Xiao Huadong almost got furious and wanted to punch Liu Mingquan. After a long time of trouble, he seduced us to have sex, but there was no goods.
But when he saw that Liu Mingquan was stronger than him, he had to give up this idea with a thin figure.
He held back his anger and bowed and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, why do you want to sell the Hu people and the West?"
"This is very simple. Because the supply of sweaters is in short supply, the merchants line up to ask for goods, and the deposit has been paid until next year." Liu Mingquan sighed and said while giving back the gift. Mei Shou and Jiang Zheng exchanged glances with each other, and Jiang Zheng came out and said: "This is normal. Xi County is far away from the capital, and it is most convenient to get from the Hu people. Even Chengdu is thousands of miles away, so it is sold on site naturally."
"Shopkeeper Liu, you are from Zhaojiazhuang. Can you get a batch of sweaters for us? Just deposit gold for us?" Xiao Huadong's eyes turned and he thought of a way.
Liu Mingquan nodded, looked at the person at the scene, and said, "This is no problem. I am from Zhaojiazhuang, so I can get it naturally. There is no need for a deposit. The price can also be given a discount of 10% off."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu." Xiao Huadong felt that he was too proud and was so petty that he had the result.
Liu Mingquan himself was not entirely concerned about his face. He actually gave everyone a gift to borrow Xiao Huadong's words.
Isn't it? Mei Shou, Jiang Zheng and others also thanked each other, which was exactly the result of Liu Mingquan.
Mei Shou suddenly bowed and asked solemnly: "Dingjunshan is still in the hands of the security team?"
"Of course it's still in the hands of the security team." Liu Mingquan didn't understand why Mei Shou asked about this repeatedly, and answered while returning the gift.
Mei Shou nodded with a very serious expression and said to Liu Mingquan solemnly: "I have decided to go to Xi County, but I wonder if the little saint welcomes you?"
He was so serious that he obviously wanted to get the answer from Liu Mingquan.
"Welcome." Liu Mingquan also bowed extremely solemnly and replied in a deep voice, "Mingquan immediately reported this to Zhaojiazhuang."
After all, he is a shopkeeper in Lin'an Mansion. It is of course extremely difficult to meet the little saint, but he can report this to the chief clerk of Zhaojiazhuang.
Mei Shou couldn't help but be overjoyed. After all, he was a sixth-rank court official and was not from the little saint. He was worried that the little saint would reject him, but he did not expect that Liu Mingquan would agree.
"I'm waiting for the good news." He saluted Liu Mingquan solemnly, then looked at his three subordinates, "Are you going to Xixian County?"
After all, he is alone and wants to take a few subordinates and help him.
Jiang Zheng was shocked. His original intention was to go to Changyuan County, the safest places in Sichuan, which really didn't work. It would be fine to go to Jiading and Jingyan.
But now Mei Shou actually asked him to go to Xi County together, which was beyond his expectations.
Although Xixian has a large population, it is under the eyes of the Hu people, and there is a 500,000 Hu people who are eyeing each other.
Seeing Jiang Zheng's hesitant look, Mei Shou didn't know what he was thinking.
He pulled Jiang Zheng and Xiao Huadong to another room. There was no one else in this room, only the three of them.
He looked at the two of them and asked, "Did you find out? I have repeatedly told you if Dingjunshan is in the hands of the security team?"
"That's right, we don't know why, and I hope that Mei Tuan told him." Jiang Zheng looked at Xiao Huadong and looked at Mei Shou, hoping that he would give an answer.
