Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 106 Rumors
"Boss, your method of making caustic soda is really wonderful. The originally dirty wool can be cleaned up quickly."

As soon as Qin Xiedao and Ma Zhou came to the workshop outside the city, they met Hou Bao's master and apprentice.

After no longer needing to rely on cheating and abducting to raise money for alchemy and medicine, Hou Bao's master and apprentice immediately exerted their greatest motivation to do various experiments.

In order to enable his wool thread workshop to enter the stage of mass production as soon as possible, Qin Xiedao also provided Hou Bao with some "secret recipes handed down from the Qin family" to make it easier to deal with stains on wool.

The wool that has just been sheared is very dirty, with many plant seeds and dirty things hanging on the wool.

Some of these things are dust and dirt, which can be cleaned by washing with water.

But it's more of grease and other messes that you can't get clean without adding some chemicals along with it.

If these oils and the like are not cleaned, then the wool cannot be really used at all.

Because it doesn't take long, the wool that has not been cleaned will worry and change color.

Moreover, the wool that has just been cut is not the fluffy pure white that everyone imagines.

Instead, it has been exposed to the wind and sun and turned gray.

"These medicines can be mass-produced now, right? Ma Zhou brought back a large amount of wool from Liangzhou today, and there will be a lot of wool coming back one after another. Our workshop must process the wool immediately. into woolen thread."

Although Ma Zhou carried out the first preliminary cleaning of the wool in Liangzhou, it is definitely not enough to rely on the simple conditions in Liangzhou.

Therefore, before it can be processed into woolen thread, it needs to be further processed in the workshop on the side of Chang'an City.

At this time, it is time to reflect Hou Bao's professional level.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't be the one who loses the chain in any part of the workshop. Later we can start a round of trial production. After cleaning a batch of wool, we will immediately arrange for people to start making wool yarn."

Hou Bao is now full of energy and full of confidence in his skills.

As a senior Taoist alchemist, he has never been so fulfilled like this time.

No need to worry about the cost of purchasing all kinds of strange materials, no need to worry about no one to help, let alone worry about your own future.

This kind of pure research is his favorite state.

"Okay! Then make a batch of woolen thread samples first, and then expand the production scale as soon as possible. I will also arrange for people to start planning the promotion of woolen thread."

Qin Xiedao didn't hesitate at all, and immediately struck while the iron was hot.

Now the temperature in Chang'an City is getting lower and lower. When I first went out, it already felt like it was going to snow heavily.

At that time, the people's demand for warmth in Chang'an City will definitely increase significantly.

Fur like mink is naturally a very good thermal material.

But it has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Even in later generations, there are very few people who can afford such clothes.

At this time, a cheap thermal material is naturally needed.

……

There are always a group of people in this world who don't want others to be better than themselves.

They confuse the public by spreading various messages.

However, most ordinary people's discrimination ability is very poor, they can't tell which is real and which is fake.

On the second day after the woolen thread workshop in Yiguo's mansion began to recruit women from refugees on a large scale, some rumors were circulated in the market.

"Have you heard that the wool thread workshop needs to use scalding hot water to wash the wool, even in the winter, the people inside can't wear any clothes at all, because it is too hot."

"Ah? If that's the case, isn't it true that the entire workshop is filled with a bunch of female workers who wear very little clothes? How decent is that?"

"Who knows? I don't know what the Qin family's intentions are for creating such a workshop."

"These women, wouldn't they all be sold to brothels by that Qin Dalang in the end? Otherwise, why did they recruit people from the refugees?

You must know that many of the women among these refugees have no family members. "

"This... isn't this too bold? General Qin shouldn't be such a person, right?"

"Who knows. General Qin may not be such a person, but whether his son, their servants are such a person, how do we know?"

In this way, within a few days, all kinds of rumors were everywhere.

"Da Lang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that the rumors outside are too strong. Can our wool thread workshop stop recruiting?

At least stop recruiting female workers from the refugees? "

With so many rumors outside, Mrs. Zhang naturally heard some rumors.

Although she didn't believe that Qin Xiedao had any other thoughts, she couldn't stand the hurt of all kinds of rumors.

Just like a rich person in later generations, if you don't donate something to your hometown, then maybe people will say something bad about you behind your back.

But if you donate, some people may think that you are too stingy for donating so little.

Anyway, no matter what you do, some people who have nothing to do can always find a reason to ridicule you.

"Aniang, the various tasks in this woolen thread workshop are most suitable for female workers, and it is not so efficient for men to do them.

Except for some guards outside the workshop and a few management tasks, I am going to hand over other tasks to the female workers. "

Qin Xiedao obviously wouldn't change his mind just because of a little gossip.

As a time traveler, if the psychological endurance is so poor, then it is better to be an ostrich earlier.

"In this world, apart from giving birth, there is no job that must be done by a woman, right?"

Mrs. Zhang was a little bit unwilling to give up.

She was really scared of the gossip outside.

If it is a face-to-face struggle or quarrel, she will not have any fear.

But this kind of slander behind her back is the most troublesome thing for her, and it is also what she is least good at dealing with.

"Much of the work of making woolen thread is very delicate and boring. Women are more serious and patient in doing things, which can greatly improve the production efficiency of our woolen thread workshop.

Don't worry, mother, it won't be long before I have a way to reverse the current situation and disappoint those who spread rumors and slander me. "

Qin Xiedao is definitely better at guiding public opinion than most Tang people.

But at this time, he suddenly discovered that Datang at this time seemed to lack a platform for publicity.

You have to do something yourself.
